Caged

It's rare I give 5 stars to a book cover but this one hits all the right notes for me. A good representation of the hero. Fantastic composition and title work as well.

My ARC copy included both CAGED and UNCAGED. I am not sure if they are going to be released as one long book or as a duet, but I have included a separate review for both here.

CAGED -- 4-STARS
I enjoyed this one a lot. The writing was great. The pace was perfect. The plot engaging and kept me turning the pages. It had no OW/OM drama. The sex scenes were hot. I didn't find this one dark in the least, but as you know if you follow my reviews I read and enjoy some seriously dark books, so do keep that in mind. This was light on secondary characters, but the ones that we get glimpses of were interesting, and there was one, in particular, I hope we will see more of. Both main characters were likable. The "romance" if you will was a bit insta, but I couldn't help but feel for Cage and fall in love with him. Ella was an equally enjoyable character. Lastly, this one ends on a cliffhanger which leads us into the next book.



UNCAGED -- 3 STARS
OK, so I didn't love this one as much as I did book one. A lot of my positive feelings from above remain the same for this book. That said, I thought this one dragged a lot, and I started to lose interest a bit as the book went on. On top of that, I found certain situations to be a bit...how do I say this? Farfetched I guess. Especially surrounding Cage. I can't explain any better than that without out giving examples and thus giving away spoilers. Suffice it to say that they bugged me enough to pull me out of the story.

So there you go, a two for the price of one review. *lol* Book one gets two thumbs up from yours truly while book two still gets a positive one thumb up.
