After eleven years away from the town she grew up, Chrissy finds herself taking a dreaded journey home to come to the aid of her brother. To make matters worse, she is pulled over by a local police officer who she promptly (and accidentally) punches in a most delicate area. Think that’s bad? The officer is her brother’s best friend, Jack Daniels, the boy she had a secret crush on for years when she was the nerdy, chubby, pesky baby sister. Now she is a well-traveled doctor, independent and outspoken and unrecognizable. In a case of hot guy sees hot girl and one match added to the mix could cause major flames, the fireworks begin!Chrissy (Don’t call me Chris) becomes ensnared in her childhood fantasies coming to life, but can Jack be trusted? Both her brother and Jack fuel their inner violent side with fighting, brutal knock down fighting and it’s all (pretty much) legal. Will nightmares from the past surface and scare Chrissy away?Against the Cage by Sidney Halston is chock full of humor, heat and great banter between the main characters! This is quick and easy reading, with a down and dirty steam factor that works. The addition of one awesome little Chihuahua more than once sent me into giggles. While the ending is pretty much a given, the journey was well worth the read as two people learn to trust and be trusted and to give in to love.
