The Cage Family, Book 4

De: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrado por: Lance Greenfield, Kit Swann

“Who Hurt You?”

When Hudson Cage asked those words, I shut him out just as I did the rest of those who cared for me. It’s been a year since I made one of the worst choices of my life but now I am stronger and following the path I’ve carved myself.

As manager of the Cage Resort, I want to bring the company into a new era and show the larger than life family that I worth so much more than what my father and ex said I was.

Only to do that, I have to deal with Hudson. The man I can’t get off my mind.

And my neighbor in this small town of ours.

We fight more than we speak to one another, and his over protectiveness is starting to become far too attractive. He holds secrets within those stormy eyes and the part of me that knows it’s a mistake wants to dive deep and know more.

When one lack of control turns to another, there’s no turning back from what we could have. Yet the darkness on each of our paths are closing in.

I don’t want to love Hudson Cage, but if we don’t give in and learn to trust, we both could risk losing it all before we even have a chance.

**One Quick Obsession is an enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town romance featuring Hudson and Scarlett. Each book can be listened to as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

Amazing!

Carrie Ann did it again with another great book! I loved every minute of this book. Hudson was perfectly grumpy and Scarlett was an amazing strong FMC. There were parts that were predictable but that did not take anything away from the story. The teaser at the end though... I will say I cannot wait for Sophia's book.

Amazing enemies to lovers romance

I received this as an arc/alc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was an amazing enemies to lovers romance. It was a really well written story and it had a great flow. The series has become one of my favorites by this author and this book only cemented that. Hudson and Scarlett had such wonderful chemistry and I loved their dynamic. The story touched on some though subjects and was very emotional. I absolutely loved it.

Audiobook review: I loved listening to this story, the narrators were great at portraying the characters and they were very well matched on pace and volume.

Hudson and Scarlett

A suspenseful, angsty, emotional and heartwarming romance that definitely had me on the edge of my seat. Hudson and Scarlett are great together. She brings out a side of him that is so different than anyone else has the pleasure of seeing. These two are both fighting their own demons but they find their sage harbor with one another. I adored and enjoyed everything about this fantastic story.

Hudson and Scarlett

The story gripped me and pulled me in from the very first word until the last. It's the fourth book in The Cage Family series, and this time it's the turn of Hudson Cage to find his happy ever after.

Hudson is one of the most interesting characters in this series. He's featured in all the earlier books, and I, for one, couldn't wait to learn his backstory. He's a reclusive artist who now resides permanently at Cage Lake. He carries both physical and emotional scars from his time in the military, as well as emotional scars caused by both his parents. He would do anything for his family and has a protective streak a mile wide. This is an enemies-to-lovers story; the woman who wins his heart is Scarlett, aka Scar, the Manager of the family-owned resort at Cage Lake. Scarlet also has her own emotional scars, caused by an abusive father, as well as her abusive ex.

I loved the push-and-pull between these two; their chemistry is palpable and hot, but their journey to their HEA is far from smooth. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride which has drama, violence, attempted murder and kidnapping, but don't worry, there is also love, loyalty and family, and they do find their happy ever after in the end. Although this is part of a series, it is good enough to stand on its own.

This truly moving story is excellently narrated by Kit Swann and Lance Greenfield

Swoony, emotional and action packed

Give me all the growly, overprotective, grumpy men all day. “One Quick Obsession” is a swoony, emotional and action packed enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine small town romance that was a great addition to “The Cage Family” series.

Hudson Cage keeps to himself and that’s exactly how he likes it. He has his house, his land and his art. But also on the same land, he has a neighbor he butts heads with constantly. Scarlett Blair is the manager of Cage Resort and works hard to keep it running and to prove to the Cages she’s an important part of the resort’s success. Hudson and Scarlett fight more than they speak but under that is a connection neither was expecting.

From the beginning, it was clear these two had an immediate chemistry that was just lingering on under the surface. Hudson is growly, quiet and likes his space but he is also there for his siblings whenever they need something. His past injuries left him wanting to be alone and having Scarlett as his neighbor is what he needed to be brought out of the seclusion he had put himself in. Scarlett is caring, genuine and I loved her drive to succeed with the resort. She also had a tough past with a father who was emotionally abusive and an ex who didn't treat her right either. With that, they bonded and I loved how Hudson became protective over her even if she didn’t want it. They might have started out as two people who didn’t want to be around each other but once they got to know each other, they were so great as a couple. I loved how they were there for each other and understood how they might need some space to process any hard thing they were going through. Their story was so sweet and I loved the ending. And I’m counting down the days until the next book is released.

Kit Swann and Lance Greenfield narrated as Scarlett and Hudson and they did an amazing job bringing this story to life. Kit’s narration was genuine, kind and passionate just like Scarlett. And I loved listening to Lance bring the grumpy/protective but kind Hudson alive.
