For anyone who ever had a crush on the older boy next door, their older brother's friend or any other unattainable bad boy, this is a must read! Ms. Halston does a wonderful job of blending together just the perfect mix of humor and romance. The opening scene of this book, as well as a number of others, are sure to have you in stitches. Add in a hot alpha male (a bad boy turned police officer who still engages in mixed martial arts fights for fun), a strong minded, female lead character (now a doctor, who happens to be the male lead's best friend's little sister) and you have a romance with plenty of sparks and quick wit which is sure to entertain.After a long absence Chrissy, now a doctor, returns home to her small town in Florida to bail her brother, a professional fighter, out of jail for an alleged assault. On her way back, she runs into her brother's best friend, Jack, who is now a police officer who does mixed martial arts fights for fun. Jack has been Chrissy's brother's best friend since childhood and Chrissy always had a crush on Jack. While Jack frequently protected Chrissy like a little sister when they were growing up, he never showed any other interest. The headstrong, sexy all grown-up Chrissy who returns is a very different woman from the easily swayed, nerdy girl that left all those years ago, and the sparks fly as Chrissy and Jack work together to find a way to help Chrissy's brother beat the charges against him.If you loved Beautiful Disaster, you will love Against the Cage!!! Both stories use the underground fight world as a setting. Additionally, you get all the hot sexiness and quick wit banter of Beautiful Disaster, along with a strong alpha male with an insatiable need to protect those he loves, without all the extreme reckless and destructive behavior.Source: ARC copy provided by the Publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
