I wasn't sure what to think going into this after the way their story was set up in the previous book. I am glad I gave it a chance. This packed a lot of action in it. It was like 3 stories in one.

Josh was head over heals in love with Ashlyn. Book one ended with him getting word that an ex was pregnant with his child. He thought he was doing the right thing and called it off with Ashlyn in order to be there for his baby. Oddly enough, I could understand where he was coming from. I mean, wouldn't you try to do the right thing for you unborn child....It was still heartbreaking for Ashlyn and I felt for her as well. When circumstances change, he has to do whatever it takes to get Ashlyn back. He knows she is his one true love and he will stop at nothing. I thought Josh really turned it around. I was disappointed in him at times, I understood at other times...he was complicated. I do think that he really proved his love for Ashlyn and was fantastic throughout the rest of the book.

Ashlyn was a firecracker. Where I was on the fence with her in book 1, I did like her more in book 2. She was strong and even though she had a broken heart, she was happy to find out she was pregnant with Josh's baby. The night they spent together meant everything to her and she had a new little person to love because of it. I can understand her reluctance to let Josh back in after the way her left her. Also, when she let Josh back in, she didn't hold back. She gave him the love that he was showing her, right back. Once they got back together, they stayed together. She was supportive and loving.

-no cheating
-om drama -
-ow drama- Josh's ex (who was really no more than a one night stand who stalked him for a week)
-steamy
-pushing away by Ashlyn but it did not last the entire book (thank God)
-secondary character - Savvy's dad and Ashlyn's gram were hilarious. I thought they were great. I also look forward to Josh and Zander's litte brother Kyle getting a story. Jay- not so much.
-no epilogue for the couple. It was a set up for the next story

*The next book is about Josh's twin Jay and he was pretty skanky. I'm on the fence about his story. Although we didn't have to see him with OW in this book (unlike book one-gross) his talking about women and screwing around really was just ick. He talked about all the women he was with and the "buffet" -yeah, Im just not sold on him. Wish he wasn't like that, I like these characters.

I am head over heels in LOVE with this series! I was hooked when I read Caged, Zander and Savvy are the sweetest and now we have Josh and Ash and I swear I haven't laughed so hard and so much from the beginning of a book in a while. Throughout the story Savvy and Ash both have me in stitches with their antics, the things that come out of these ladies mouths are priceless. Josh is one sexy alpha male, I love how caring yet dominating he can be all at once. This story takes turns you would never see coming, I was holding my breath reading parts. The family unity both by blood and by friendship just makes it an ever better read. I love all the Cage brothers and now I'm itching to hear Jay's story. Incredible read, couldn't put it down it's a MUST READ for sure. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

The h and her friends acted like immature teens with word vomit constantly spilling from their mouths. H claims he loves h even though he gets another psycho OW preggers and leaves h to raise the child with someone he can't stand. The author tried to make the h's 80 year old grandmother hip and cool - it's a no go for that character. Then there is a huge suspense development from the h's early years that she never knew about and the H, his brothers, and friends save the day while the h is weeks from giving birth. 2 stars.

I'm not going to rate this as I don't think it would be fair to the author. Please know that this was in NO way a bad book. It just wasn't for me. I didn't like the writing style, I didn't like the heroine, I didn't like the heroine's best friend, and the guys were all blah. In all honesty I should have DNF'd it rather quickly but I carried on in hoping that I would adjust to the authors style. Sadly that didn't happen.

Ashlyn believed all the words Josh told her about building a future together, she gave him everything she had to offer only to have him walk away. Now pregnant, she knows she needs to tell Josh but she is still smarting over the reason he left.

Josh knows he screwed up, he believed he was doing the right thing only to have it blow up in his face. He wants Ashlyn back but once he finds she is pregnant he is even more determined to win her back. Can Ashlyn trust Josh again and what happens when a threat she didn't see coming turns up and threatens to ruin everything?

This was fantastic. I wanted to kick Josh initially but he redeems himself and understand why he did what he did. Ashlyn was a favorite from the first book, she is a strong woman and I admired her strength. Great series, no cheating.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review

Having read Caged and having already taken a fall for one of the Cage brothers, I was ready and oh so willing to get down and dirty with Josh Cage. He intrigued me with his quiet, unassuming, sexy self and I couldn't wait to see the way him and the ever so feisty Ashlyn would get along. It wasn't long and Brittany had me hooked and salivating over another delicious fighter and his equally sexy girl! Rampage takes readers on a journey with so many twists and turns that you can't help but get a case of whiplash while being all hot and bothered!

We first get to know a little about Josh and a whole lot about Ashlyn in Caged and get to see their love starting to bud. Brittany left me curious and wanting more of these two by the end of Xander and Savvy's story in Caged. I couldn't wait to jump back in and see what had caused this couple that was boiling hot to suddenly become so cool to one another. My heart broke for Ashlyn and her position with being left pregnant and alone with a broken heart. I admired her tenacity and back bone for wanting to raise the child on her own. No one should be a second choice and that is how she felt..until she knew better.

Josh had my heart battered with his choices that he made early on but I could see where he was coming from. But no fear ladies, it wasn't long before this hot specimen of a man was back in my good graces and had Ashlyn's body trembling once again with desire and her heart completely owned by him. I was so enamored by Josh and his shy and loving persona out of the bedroom but while he was in the bedroom...the wild beast was let out of his cage and no reader and her unmentionables were safe!

Brittany Crowley delivers a romance that gives us the ending we want with a hot and suspenseful story that we will never forget. I highly recommend Rampage along with Caged for some alpha fighter brothers that will leave you swoony and wilted! I seriously cannot get enough and am over the moon excited for a sample of Jay and what he can do in the cage and bedroom! Hurry up Brittany and put your reader fans out of their misery and feed our growing addiction!

I received an ARC of this and have volunteered to leave a review. I was an addict for this series after reading Caged which was Zander and Savvy's story. This is Josh and Ashlyn's journey and as beautiful as their story is the highlights are the hilarious moments with Ash and Savvy. These two had me laughing so much that my sides hurt. This book was so entertaining that I was upset when it ended. Josh has to make choices and the one he makes changes everything for Ashlyn and him. When that choice blows up in his face will Ashlyn give him another chance and will Josh not let a similar scenario cause him to doubt the one girl he knows is his forever. This book along with the whole series are and will be five stars hands down. I dare anyone to one click this book and not only at least have a huge grin on your face most of the time but instantly fall in love with these Cage men and the women they love.

RAMPAGE (Bound by Cage Book 2)
by Brittany Crowley

Was so worried about reading book 2 because book 1 was so fantastic but no worries it was even better. This author gives you every side of her characters and leaves you laughing crying and turning pages as fast as you can read them Ash and Josh's story is one that will send you through a journey of feelings from the first page to the last. You will laugh cry and leave you sitting on the edge of your seat saying no way and still be surprised by what happens next with a few panty melting parts just so you can know how sexy these cage brothers really are. The relationship she builds between all the characters sucks you in and doesn't let you go it will leave you wondering where the next story will take you. Am so looking forward to book three.

Hit after hit is what you get with this book. First Josh gets a rude awakening which almost
spells the end of him and Ashlyn. But that isn't it. When the challenge is issued to Josh from his arc nemesis blast from the past Josh has to figure out if he is up for the challenge. But that isn't all, not only is this book HOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT as in get out your fans cause hot scenes keep you fanning and gasping for air or your partner. There are more twist I wont even bring up cos, duh you need to read it for yourself.

This author is quickly finding her place in industry and is pulling no punches. Her books are a well blended mix of passion and story and enough twist to keep you invested in the story. It helps that they have a group of friends that are off the hook crazy so you get to laugh, panic, ooh and ahhh your way thru. I am all in and ready for the next awesome read.

I won't rate because I DNF. I don't think I've ever returned a book so fast on KU. It was a mess. Im talking insta love, break-up, lying OW, flashback scenes to the one time they had sex and a pregnancy all within the first 25 pages. I love drama and angst but not like this

~Josh and Ashlyn~

Josh has screwed up but he has no idea how to fix it. Until the unthinkable happens and He can finally do what he has been regretting since He left Ashlyn. Ashlyn only knows that she is heart broken and still loves Josh. After Josh finds out that his ex really isn't carrying his baby All he can think about is Ashlyn not that he really thinks about anything else ever. When he and Ashlyn got to Vegas for a promotion for the Cage brothers. Something happens that makes Ashlyn rethink her broken heart for Josh. Once they get home from Vegas they don't think anything of going about their lives and living. Josh has to go out of town and can't wait to get back and see his love. But when he gets home he instantly knows something is wrong. None of them could have ever guess what was happening. Ashlyn's parents have come back for her. It takes the love of a father that Ashlyn never knew, the father of her best friend to save her. Through all this she finds that she is not an only child as she had always thought. She has a sister.

This book has a twist I never would have seen coming. This book, This book, This book. I don't even have the words to describe what it made me feel. Brittany Thank you for allowing me to read this book. Just WOW!

I absolutely loved this series by Brittany Crowley. Rampage is book number two and I honestly didn't want it to end. Josh and Ash's story had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Their love story was swoon worthy, sweet and the sex was hotter then hell. Brittany added the right amount of twist and turns to give the story the perfect amount of suspense to keep you turning the page. I honestly can't get enough of the Cage brothers and I'm definitely looking forward to book number 3. Great job Brittany.

Ms. Crowley's second book in the Bound by Cage series did not disappoint. Ashlyn and Josh are fantastic characters that you can not help but love. Their story is filled with heartache, anger, humor, and love. Also all the characters from the first book make appearances and you feel like a part of this family. It is definite must read!!!

Ashlyn and Josh.....

Ok...two books in and I am completely in love with this series! I hope I'll survive waiting until book three releases.

One of the reasons I love this series so much is because of the close, loyal, and even humorous dynamic between the characters. Not only are the H/h awesome and lovable, the secondary cast of characters adds even more heart and soul to the story. They play together, they are there for each other in sadness and especially danger.

Ashlyn and Josh's history begins in Caged. Although we don't get the specifics, we can 100% infer there is something between them. The epilogue in Caged, which is also the prologue in Rampage, gives us a huge tease of the angst to come. I am so thankful I had both books available to me to read back to back otherwise I would have gone crazy waiting. As it is, I'm anxious for the next book.

Brittany Crowley does an amazing job at writing. I loved the dialogue, the banter, humor, and dirty talking.' Fairly close to the beginning, she gives us a hint of the plot. As that plot grows, you are wondering what is going to happen and when. All the while, Josh and Ashlyn are trying to fix their relationship.

Josh messed up. He was the reason for their problems.

I absolutely loved Josh however I am glad Ashlyn made him work for 'it.' I understood her trust issues and even though she loved Josh with her whole heart; she was afraid of getting hurt again. But Josh is persistent in making up for his mistakes.

The love between Josh and Ashlyn had me envious and jealous. I loved their relationship dynamic after they worked through their problems.

However, before they can have their HEA, that plot comes to the forefront and literally scared the sh*t out of me!

Rest assured of two things: First, there is a happy ending for Josh and Ashlyn. Second, I know you will love this book! I sure do. Brittany Crowley has a new loyal fan.....me ;) !

*I voluntarily read and reviewed and advanced copy of this book. My opinions are honest and unbiased.*

I love when books are not what you expect. And this book falls in that category. Ashlyn becomes pregnant after finally giving in to Josh and his pirsuit. And then he does the unthinkable leaves her the morning after. So she does what she has to to keep her heart safe. she shuts him out. When he realizes that he's made a mistake he will do everything to get her back. And when he finds out she's carrying his baby he knows she's his happy ever after. But he has to be patient and he will. And then the book takes a turn. You want see this coming. Brittany Crowley has a way of bringing you into a family and making you apart of it. Love these Cage boys!!

I really enjoyed this book! After reading Caged, I had to know what happed between Ashlyn and Josh. They made a great couple until Josh made a stupid decision and lost the girl he truly wanted to be with.

I couldn't put this book down once I started reading. Brittany Crowley had me on the edge with this rollercoaster! I can't wait to read more about Jayden and Georgie!

Rampage is a MUST READ, once you start you CAN'T PUT DOWN book! Not only did I become entranced in Josh and Ash's story, I was also grabbing my sides from laughing so hard! Their love story is not only sweet and swoon worthy, but the sex- WOW (currently fanning myself)! Brittany also included the perfect amount of twists and turns to keep you guessing on what's to come next. And believe me- you won't see it coming! Phenomenal read and so well written! 100% looking forward to my next Brittany Crowley book❤

I'm not sure how she did it. But despite the fact that I thought Josh was a complete &%$#@! for like 80% of the book and her writing is a little off (I have a thing about authors not using contractions) she STILL managed to get a 4 star rating out of me.

So I'm now officially hooked on this series and cannot WAIT for Jay's book in a week or so (yes I totally stalked her on Goodreads and Facebook to find out when that's coming).

1.) Cheating? Nope - had there been I'd have given this a one-star because Josh was seriously on my freaking list.
2.) Cliffhanger? No.
3.) HEA (Happily Ever After)? Yes, very.
4.) Violence? Nope.
5.) Writing/Grammar? Lack of contractions make the characters seem slow.
6.) Sexual content? I did end up skimming the sex "memories" in the beginning because I was so grouchy about Josh and didn't want Ash to give him a second chance. Anyway, hot scenes etc etc
7.) Would I recommend this book to my friends? Yep.

This series is just getting better....

I was lucky enough to finish Brittany's first novel in this series, CAGE, and then delve straight into RAMPAGE. Thinking this series couldn't get any better after CAGE, I was happily proven wrong!!!! RAMPAGE is brilliant!!!!

Josh and Ashlyn (Ash) were characters in the first novel, but this one is their story, what a story it is. At the end of book 1, Ash discovers that she is pregnant with Josh's baby, but doesn't tell him because he finds out that an ex is also pregnant with his child (but things are not as they seem). Josh has decided to return to his ex and "do the right thing", leaving both himself and Ash totally miserable.

Circumstances change and now Josh does all that he can to win Ash back. Friendship is the likely outcome, until a trip to Vegas changes all of that - but why and how? Their relationship is a HOT, SEXY, STEAMY one that will have you constantly fanning yourself. Amid all the drama, there are some wonderfully hilarious moments - picture Josh running around a Vegas Hotel in his boxers!!! There is also drama involved, when someone from Ash's past threatens the happiness that her and Josh have finally found.

The good thing about this book is that there is also the chance to catch up with Savvy and Zander, a wonderful surprise is in store there. Again we get to witness the antics of Jay, I cannot wait to read his story, that one is going to be full of so many laughs.

I loved this book so much more than the first. Brittany Crowley is a superb writer of romantic Comdey - definitely a MUST READ author.

So … let me get this straight. Josh dumped Ashlyn the morning after the first time they slept together because he found out that his ex was pregnant. He couldn’t stand his ex; he wasn’t getting back together with her or anything like that but he dumped Ashlyn anyway and broke her heart. Then, when he found out that his ex had been lying to him about being pregnant, he figured that he could just pick up where he left off with Ashlyn but that he "had a lot of groveling to do". When he found out that Ashlyn was pregnant, he decided that she was just like his ex and could be trying to pawn off someone else’s baby as his and says so in a crowded restaurant in front of all their friends. After all of this, when Ashlyn told him that she wasn’t interested in getting back together with him after the way he’d hurt her and that they could co-parent and figure out a visitation schedule, he told her that “I won’t be dictated as to when I can visit my child.” This was his idea of groveling???

Yeah, I have no interest in reading about this a$$hole getting an HEA after the way he behaved.

Omg!!!!! Must read. Start from Cage!!!

This book was so freaking awesome. I started with Cage and went str8 to Rampage. Man. I am so excited for what is up to come..

This book is about Savvy's BFF, Ash and Zander's brother, Josh finally falls for each other. The trials and tribulations that they go though just have you on edge of your seat, cursing the author out... Literally.

I fell in love with the characters. It was well developed and I feel like the characters and I are friends from wayyy back lol. I was so excited to see Papa Jack n this story. He has to be one of my favorite characters of the series.

Totally excited for the next book in Jay!!!!! Must read now!!!

I really liked this book.
The chemistry sizzled between Ash and Josh since book 1, and combusted in book 2.
Josh has turned away from the love of his life, but thinks he has no way out of it.
With the mistake hanging over him, he finds out something that makes him come crawling to sash for forgiveness.
Will she give him a second chance?
I have to say, this book had me laughing out loud all the way through. Ash is crass, but funny with it.
Wen a turn of events has Ash fearing for her child, Josh is out of his mind with worry.
Mr Jenks does his usual commando style, and unleashes his crazy.

Josh's twin brother, Jay, is one of my favourite characters, and I can't wait to read what Brittany has in store for him in book 3!
