Against the cage By Sidney Halston





For Chrissy Martin, returning to her Florida hometown always seems to bring bad luck. The day starts with a breakup text, followed by a jailhouse phone call from her troublemaker brother. Now a routine traffic stop has ended with her accidentally punching an officer . . . in a delicate place. Then Chrissy realizes that the hot cop on the receiving end of her right hook is none other than the man from her teenage fantasies.
 
Jack Daniels knows how to take a hit. After all, when he’s not chasing reckless drivers, he’s kicking ass in a mixed martial arts ring. So what takes his breath away isn’t the low blow, but the woman who dealt it: a gorgeous knockout with legs Jack wouldn’t mind being pinned under—who just so happens to be his best friend’s nerdy little sister, all grown up. Soon their instant chemistry leads to a sizzling affair, but Jack and Chrissy are fighting an uphill battle if they want to make love last beyond the final bell.


The blurb had me hooked... What about you?
Seriously policeman/fighter? who wouldn't want to have a dabble in this novel. 
The beginning had me laughing so to say i stayed hooked from there is an understatement. 


Chrissy Martin used to be a chubby, shy, easily bossed around girl before she moved away to start a new life after she blamed herself for the death of her father. 
Now she is a sexy, sophisticated, sassy female who says what she wants and bites back. No more messing around. I love her attitude, she made me laugh a few times drawing the book. 

Then we have Jack Daniels .... cool name huh? he is best friends with Chrissy's older brother. They all have a shared childhood and Chrissy has always had a crush on Jack. When she returns he finally sees her in a new light. although throughout the book we find out he may have always looked at her that way and just didnt know it. 

Chrissy brother is an arrogant asshole. Sorry but he is, but towards the end I see him a new light. I was just glad that there wasnt another bump in the road for Chrissy and Jack and that Slade was okay with the two being together. 
In fact he saw it coming.

The love story is a long a bumpy road, but we finally get there with a few heart stopping moments. The novel is amusing, fun, loving and very VERY sexy. Some of the explicit scenes are extremely hot.

To all readers who are picking this up thinking its an MMA fighter romance novel. Its not. There is fighting in it but its not shown as much as a MMA fighter romance novel usually does. However this is the first in the series for (Worth the fight series) and I'm looking forward to reading more.....


3* The rating is low only because I felt the story needed more entertainment .... more to keep us gripped. The book to me was easily put down, although it had me hooked it didn't keep me gripped. 
I really hope everyone takes a chance on this novel .....
