Kyle- I’m MMA’s notorious bad boy, taking down opponents is what I do best. Groupies fall at my feet and everyone bends over backwards to please me.
In my world I’m the king.
But what if living my life full throttle isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? Looking into my son's eyes makes me realize there’s more... maybe I’ve screwed up these last five years. But can I change?
Sophie- Sometimes in life, timing is everything. I was meant to love Kyle Cage but it wasn’t our time. Our story wasn’t meant to be written.
Instead I was left with a broken heart and a little boy that reminds me everyday of the man I loved so many years ago. But my son makes me want to do better, be stronger, and I’m determined to give us a good life.
Now Kyle’s back in town and he wants a chance to know his son, to be in our lives. Can I get past the hurt? Can he be the father Gabe deserves?
Time will tell. I just hope my heart holds out long enough for him to prove himself.
Brittany Crowley was born and raised in Massachusetts. She still lives there today with her husband and 3 kids. Getting into the world of romance after she had her first child, she was hooked. Though she had many ideas in her head, Brittany was unsure if she had what it took to become a writer. A few encouraging words and one writing challenge later, she completed her first book. Now you can find her trying to keep up with her crazy kids and writing any chance she gets.
Kyle Cage is at the height of his career, he can have any woman he wants and he parties like a man with no qualms of who he hurts in the process. He knows he has been distant from his family but he doesn't need their judgement. When he returns home, though, he finds the girl he loved once, Sophie and she has a secret she has been holding close: his son. Kyle wants to be part of his sons life and Sophie's and he knows he has a long way to prove himself. Can Sophie give him another chance?
This one was a bit disappointing, I was very surprised by Kyle's behavior. You've gotten to know him in the previous three books, and while he does redeem himself, it still takes a while to warm up to him. Not sure if this is the end of the series, although I'd liked to read more.
Brittany has done it again this book is another K.O. Reckless is the 4th book in the Bound by the Cage series, it can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read Caged, Rampage & Chaos to get to know all the Cage brothers & other family members in the series...you won't regret it.
OMG the Cage men are hot as sin and Kyle is no exception. This book has got some violence, jealousy, lol banter, lust, lots of loving, a massive shocker, and hot sex scenes.
Kyle Cage is the baby of the 4 brothers, he's cocky, and a total cougar whore since losing his Sophie in college. He's now back in his home town but so is Sophie and she's been hiding a secret from him and that secret is named Gabe. Kyle gets to know him and he's the best thing that could happen in his life, along with Sophie who's more stunning and beautiful now she's older. He's happier than ever, but lies are easy to believe, and his life goes south real quick from that point.
Sophie is single mother to Gabriel, he's her world, Gabe knows who his dad is and he's his MMA hero Kyle 'Reckless' Cage. Sophie has never stopped loving Kyle but she's seen his bedroom activities up close and personal, she's not convinced he can be a one-woman-man and give up cougarville and just be happy with her, plus Gabe comes first. But he's Her Kyle and he's so sexy, and hard to resist. Life's looking good then lies turn it all to shit again.
Will they get an HEA as a family? or will they be single patenting?
Brittany Crowley has fast became one of my favorite authors love her Bound by Cage series and after finishing Chaos that ended to were I needed baby Cage's story stat . Reckless can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend this series and if you do one click should be read in order to love the characters and storylines even more plus minor spoilers might happen . This was a second chance love story with mini snippets of their past that broke my heart . Brittany knows how to write the perfect heroine Sophie has got to be my favorite which was pretty tough competition given the fact that I adore every heroine , she's funny , has a backbone , sweet , and a mama bear to an awesome son . Same with the authors heroes they always find their way into my heart Kyle took me some time to like but once he finds out about Gabe the man found his way in to my heart with how he was with is son and when he finds out he really wasn't a good person to his family and people around him we also see how easy it is for a person to change with the company they keep while being away from the people who really know them . Sophie and Kyle are amazing together with easy banter , funny parents to a kid who has both of their personalities , family who would do anything for the ones they consider one of them , not being afraid to show who they really are , off the charts chemistry , and fire hot sex scenes . I flipping loved seeing how every couple are doing and how the Cage family has grown so much adding in how much the end made me giddy while sad because it ended ( fingers crossed we get a next gin series wink ) hope we get to see these characters in the future . You don't want to miss out on this series plus all the books are out so get those one click fingers ready you should also include her standalone the Big D . copy provided for honest review **************************************** hero= 8.5 heroine= 10 secondary characters=10 Chemistry= 10 steam= 8 romance= 8 humor= 8 darkness level=3 action= 3 mystery= 3 enjoyment= 10 angst=4 story line= 10 Story ending= 10 character development= 10 pacing= 10 cover= 10 stars=5 author= 10 would I recommend this book= yes would I re read this book= yes would I read future books by this author= yes
I have been waiting for this book for what feels like forever and Brittany Crowley proved it was completely worth the wait! Reckless is book 4 in the Bound by Cage series and a complete standalone, but do yourself a favor and read Caged, Rampage and Chaos first!
I devoured this book in just a few hours, it was that fantastic. Once upon a time in college Kyle had Sophie and they loved each other and everything was great. But then he lost her and he turned into a douche and spent his time jumping from one cougar’s bed to another. Now he’s back in his home town, but so is Sophie and she has a big secret she’s been keeping from him.
Kyle’s character made me do an emotional 180! I began Reckless by being completely annoyed with his selfish antics and ended the book completely loving him. His love for Sophie and Gabe had me swooning all over the place.
This book was the perfect combination of a sports, single-parent, and second-chance romance. Brittany Crowley has a knack for writing perfectly balanced books that pull at every single one of your emotions along the way. Filled with her signature mix of hilarious banter, sexy as hell heroes, and the sassy women that bring them to their knees, Reckless was another knockout win in the Bound by Cage series. 4.5 stars.
This was the most amazing book so far in this series.I love me those Cage boys♡this is my favorite book.Kyle and Sophie's was sweet funny loving emotional and heartwrenching. Give me more
I’m blown away. I’ve read this entire series and and I learn each of the brothers stories I fall more in love then I had before. Kyle and Sophie’s story started years before but fast forward four years and so much has changed between them. Kyle “Reckless” has made it big in the MMA scene just as his brothers have and Sophie’s living her life on her own. When an unexpected event brings these two to cross paths again nothing is ever the same. Gabe may be young but oh my gosh, the things that come out of his mouth will have you cracking up non stop. Sophie is a strong woman that doesn’t take any crap from anyone and protects those she loves and she’ll do whatever is necessary to prove it. There’s ups and downs with every relationship but this is not your typical one. I cannot stand Preston and as we move further into the story I want to knock him out myself. I love that the entire Cage family is still so tight knit and there for one another through thick and thin. This is a MMA story that’s blended wonderfully with a second chance romance that I couldn’t and didn’t want to put down. I can’t rave about this book enough, you NEED to grab your copy. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
5 Stars to Reckless (Bound by Cage #4) by Brittany Crowley.
The Cage brothers are back! I love this series so much; it's one of my favorites, ever! While all the Cage brothers are present in a big way, each book give us the individual story of one brother. It started with oldest brother Zander and continued with Josh and Jayden. It's now Kyle's turn. Just wow! Kyle was definitely the epitome of Reckless. More like a hurricane!
I discovered this author ten months ago while reading Caged & Rampage back to back. To say I was impatient to read Chaos is a huge understatement. I stalked this author to make sure I was aware of when the release would be. My patience was rewarded because Chaos became my favorite book thus far and Jayden my favorite brother. Now I just had to wait for Kyle's book.
In my opinion, Brittany Crowley is one of those authors who can write a perfectly balanced novel. Each book has suspense, heartache, romance, laughter and let's not forget those hot, sexy moments. The HEA is always sweet and satisfying with the best epilogues. The pace is steady to fast with a writing style that flows perfectly. I turned those pages eagerly for what's next because with each page there were new emotions. A rollercoaster with all the feels I look for in a perfect book. I've said it before, this author is definitely in my top ten of favorites. I love every book she has written. Am I biased? Maybe, but only because I am a huge fan due to the single fact that her writing always engages me, invests and endears me to her stories. Ok, I'll stop the fan-girling now. ;)
Kyle and Sophie....... Kyle and Sophie have known each other since childhood. They grew up best friends and even went off to college together. It was at college where their friendship grew to something more, changing the dynamic of their relationship forever. Things happen (other than what you read from the blurb) to pull them apart. Sophie goes off to live her life and Kyle becomes the top MMA fighter in his class. A huge caught after celebrity. Unfortunately, his attitude was much to be desired. And while I knew deep down he was a good guy, it took a while before he earned my respect. But I believe that was what the author was going for. Because watching Kyle change back to the caring and loyal young man he once was, then into a man I respected and adored, was the entertainment I look for in a book.
Sophie moved back to town and coincidentally runs into Kyle for the first time in almost five years. This meeting was the eye opener he needed. Kyle was determined to win his girl back no matter what. This is also were the story grows in angst and heartache. There are many obstacles that Kyle must get over. Before it's all said and done, more problems and heartbreak are added. I will say no more. You will want to ride this rollercoaster for yourself.
I loved the ending and the epilogues. I loved how even prior to the ending I was still on the edge of my seat. Like I said, it was not an easy road to happily-ever-after BUT totally worth the ride.
This is my honest review. I enjoyed this book immensely and I believe you will too. Reckless can be read as a standalone however, you will want to know all the Cage brothers up close and personal so I recommend you read all the books. You will not be disappointed!
I was beyond giddy to be back with the Cage brothers again watching them sweating it out both in the ring and in love. These muscled heroes know how to take the hits and back it up with fierce punches of their own, yet they are always knocked out cold and down for the count by their lady love, right from the beginning. No matter how alpha male these men are, they are no match for their sassy heroine and it is no different for “baby Cage” and his love for Sophia.
Kyle Cage, while he may be the baby of the family, he has spent the last four years in the arms of fame and every woman around. He is home now on imposed break from bad publicity and to say that I hate him on sight is an understatement. I cannot believe this is a character that I have previously met in the series and liked and he has turned into the most pompous ass ever! After getting to know him at the beginning of Reckless, I wasn't sure that Brittany could ever have me love this character again but boy was I wrong! Kyle goes through such a massive growth that you can't help becoming one of his biggest fans!
Sophie is a character that I found myself intrigued with before her story was ever created. I love best friend romances so when she was mentioned to be such a “close” best friend to Kyle and in other books in the series, I couldn't help rubbing my hands together in glee. Little did I know how in depth, heroic, and tenacious her story would be. I am completely smitten with Sophie and she had me singing her praises and shouting girl power while reading her story.
Brittany Crowley gives us a scorching, thought provoking, heart melting ending to the Cage brother saga that have us all sad to see them go while simultaneously wondering if she will show us all mercy and give us more Cage romances in the future. I highly recommend Reckless along with the other books in the Bound By Cage series for some hot muscled men that are sure to grab a hold of your heart and never let go. Brittany has impressed and creating many adoring fans with her debut series and we all cannot wait to see what is in store for us with her future books!
I Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book!!
I love Brittany Crowley and her incredible way of sharing and telling a story! The true and raw talent she has is exciting and remarkable! Cage family have become imbedded into my heart and finally baby cage got his story! I loved the history between Sophie & Kyle! It all started in a sand box! Truly adorable!
Kyle "Reckless" Cage has made it to the top MMA charts when he fought and beat his older brother for the lightweight championship years ago. He truly believe's he has everything he needs. Money? Check. Women? Check. Fame? Check. Family? Sure when he decides to call or visit. But hey he is at the top of his game and loving it. Or so he thinks. Until he us forced to return home and face the disappointment in his family's eyes. Then to hit the nail on the head, he runs into the newly returned Sophie. His childhood best friend and love of his life. The last time he "seen" her or remembered seeing her was awkward, now its tense and life altering. After he looks into the eyes of another so familiar to his own, he is required to face all those past feelings that were buried in the back of his brain and inside his heart. Sophie has some explaining to do but evidently so does he.
Sophie Freckle has worked really hard to take care of her family the last 5 years. Now she has to return home and face her past. The family that was her second home is in the sane town and she's bound to be confronted with one of them and then Kyle. How can she face him? How can she give up and share her secret world to the guy who shattered her and destroyed her? How will she face him and his family after the last 5 years have been empty without their presence? Well, she better pull up her big girl panties and face Reckless and her choices, because honey time is money and memories are priceless.
Brittany never leaves her readers dissatisfied. She digs and digs till she expresses a story like the reveal of an apple at its core. She finds her way of sharing a story with depth, value, grace and relevance. She truly stepped outside the box and revealed the best parts of a fancy fruit. Sweet, sexy, juicy and sated. This girl rocked Baby Cages story and will force you to read each one of get novels based on her incredible way of writing and expressing through the pages of a great love story!!!
I feel like I have been waiting FOREVER to get Baby Cage's story and Brittany Crowley brings it in this wonderful friends to lovers to estranged to friends to lovers to.....you get my meaning.
I can honestly say that in the beginning...I despised what Kyle had become. He was amazingly sweet and funny in previous books and here...he was just...argh...a hot, super cocky tramp lol. But he most certainly redeemed himself when he realized that there was so much he didn't know about his own life and the wonderful little boy he didn't realize he had. Watching Sophie and Kyle navigate Kyle's complete foot in mouth disease was a journey in itself. Throw in trusted friends trying to muck up their relationship and family who will do anything to protect them and you have a recipe for more angst than expected. These two grow up in this story and both steal my heart with their ability to love and to forgive. (and I loved how Mama Cage comes to the rescue so much)
"Baby" baby Cage, Gabe stole the show :) I absolutely loved his interactions with Sophia and with Kyle as well as the family. We may need another Cage story when Gabe is grown up :)
This is the first book I have read by Brittany Crowley and wow, she has a new fan!
Reckless is the story of Kyle "Reckless" Cage and Sophie Frankel. This is the perfect story of a second chance romance.
When I started reading, ooooo did I not like Kyle, he was an egotistical MMA fighter who had a bit of a Jesus complex. (You know, walk on water, do no wrong.) And so much of a playboy. I like how Brittany wrote the first part of the book, it's almost like she wants you to hate him in the beginning, just so you can fall in love harder with him at the end.
Sophie was dealt a crap hand at first, but she gets through it with grace and dignity and so much inner strength. I couldn't fault her choices and I was cheering her on.
As the story continues, you see the side of Kyle that Sophie has always loved and in turn you fall in love with him too!
Brittany writes a beautiful second chance romance and I hope to read more from her soon! Thank you for your words and letting us into your world of characters!
I am so sad to see this series come to an end but so glad I finally got my hands on Reckless by Brittany Crowley because this book did not disappoint. It was sweet, sexy, funny and very well written.
Kyle Cage is the MMA light heavyweight champion. He is living the celebrity lifesytle in Vegas and loving every second of being the golden boy. Well he was until he got in trouble and was sent home to his momma and big brothers. Now he is a hermit and is getting beat up by his nephew. Which is how he runs into Sophie. His best friend and girl that he always crushed on but hasn't seen or talked to in four years.
Sophie is the sassy single mother to Gabe, who just happens to be Kyle's son that he didn't know existed. But now that he does, he not going anywhere and plans to make his new family work. And everything does until his jealous manager shows up and ruins all the progress Kyle made with Sophie.
Will she give Kyle a third chance to make everything right or was he to Reckless to forgive this time??
Omg loved this story! I didn't know what to expect with Kyle's story, but was definitely not disappointed! Kyle was a first class jerk, but he redeemed himself by the end. These two have been friends for years & are so in love with each other, that the moment they give into each other their immaturity gets the best of them. Kyle is not strong enough to be what he needs to be for Sophie. The years they spend apart makes them grow up each in their own way. When seeing one another again Kyle becomes the man we want him to be for Sophie. As time goes on he lets others in & that only causes more problems. The strength that Sophie shows throughout was beautifully written & she was a much better person than I would have been. This author does a wonderful job with the creation of these characters, the way she writes the chemistry is off the charts hot! I want more of all of these characters, not just Kyle & Sophie. A story that is written so well that u can't stop until u have finished it!!
WOW!!! Brittany has done it again, I could not put this book down. I love all of Brittany's books, this book is no different. I really thought Zander would hold # 1 for me, but the more I read about Baby Cage the more he knocked Zander to second. I was hooked from the first few words. Kyle was kind of a asshole at first. I could not believe how he changed almost over night. All I took was someone calling him DADDY. There was times I wanted to knock Kyle up side his head. But that thank God his nephew did it for me. I just loved Gabriel to death! There was a couple times I was just LOL. poor Sophie tries to fight what she feels for Baby Cage, but in the end its just to much. The sparks between these are two is off the charts. There are some pretty steamy parts that will have you fanning yourself. This is a must read, I stayed up well into the night to finish this book. Who needs sleep when you have a Cage brother on your kindle.....
Brittany has done it again, this book was great. I am sad though that this is the last Caged book, maybe she will do a second generations. In this book Reckless, baby Cage (Kyle) is an a$$. Don't get me wrong, I love him just as much as his brothers, but there was times in the book I just wanted to slap him. Sophie is a very patient person, and put up with a lot. And Gabe, omg he made this book for me. I laughed so hard at the things that came out of this kids mouth. He reminds me of my little boy, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. You so need to grab this book.
Wow this book! I hate that this series has come to an end. I was so excited for this book and i was not disappointed! i even dragged out finishing it which was sooo hard! The raw emotion that flowed through this book had my heart wrenching amd felt all the pain! Brittany did this story justice without a doubt. We have had sneek peeks of kyle cage throughout the series and is knows as baby cage so was nice to see this side of him!
Kyle and Sophie had a love that a lot people including Sophie thought would be forever, but things change and people grow. Kyle was everything she wanted and homestead still does but then wasn't their time and now 5years later she has a son who she must think of and who reminds her of her love everyday, but now Kyle has returned home and Sophie had a lot to explain but so does Kyle is time in their side this time?
Wow what can I say! What a perfect ending to a great series. I loved these characters and was devastated to see them end. I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. I was worried that since I wanted this book so badly that it would disappoint, well I can tell you it absolutely did not I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting! Brittany is an amazing author and going forward she will always be an automatic one click for me.
While Kyle was more than a douchebag at the beginning. I have to say he turned it around fast. However, I love, love, love Sophie. Did I necessarily 100% agree with what she did no but she always let him know who his Dad was and even when he did her crappy she didn't let Gabe suffer the consequences.
I couldn't wait to read Kyle's book. He was so cocky about everything in life . He was the best of the best at everything he did as well as owned. Sophie is a sweet, strong , independent women who is made just for Kyle. She is sassy, loving and can bring Kyle (reckless) cage to his knees. There were times I wanted to scream and throw my kindle as to what the characters were doing with there words and actions . The book was was written perfectly . I felt like I was part of what was happening as the story unfolded.
Reckless is the final book in the series and it's finally Baby Cage's book! Kyle Cage, MMA Light heavyweight champion. At the beginning, he had such a huge ego that I'm surprised his head fit into doorways!! I really loved him though. He was sexy and sweet! I loved him with Sophie and especially with Gabe!! Sophie, I loved her. She was sweet, sassy and independent! Gabe, he was so cute and every time he opened his mouth it was hilarious!! Kyle and Sophie were perfect together! I love the Cage brothers and their ladies! They are all a crazy and hilarious bunch!! I loved this book and I'm sad this is the last!
Really good wrap up of the series. But I can't wait until we have a whole new batch of Cage's to hit the octagon. The visitation with all the other brothers and their wives is fantastic. It gives you a chance to see where everyone ended up with their lives and families. And I am so glad that everyone finally got their HEA. Another great read by Brittany Crowley!
Reckless is book four in The Bound by Cage series. I really enjoyed this story, it was full of action, drama, family, and love. The characters Sophie and Kyle were likeable, and they had a great chemistry. Gabe made me laugh with his funny comments. I like how the family members are entwined in eachothers books. Great series!
I love the Bound by Cage series! The Cage men are are all wonderful man. This book had my emotions all over the place, laughing at the brothers and Cage children and of course Gage. I was crying periodically and outraged at other times, at one point I almost smashed my device.
Kyle Cage is an MMA fighter who acts 'Reckless' at times but fights for what he truly wants in life!
Sophie is a single mother who does everything for her 4 year old son, Gabe.
I freaking love and hate baby Cage in equal parts. I want to punch him and hug him at the same time. This is an awesomely written book. Another 5 star read.
OMG!!! What a freaking fantastic way to end a series. I never thought that anyone could steal my adoration and love for Zander Cage, but then I was not anticipating Kyle. He has completely stolen my heart.
A great storyline with complex characters, steamy scenes, lots of LOL lines , and a few I can't believe that just happened moments. I could not put it down. A page turner from beginning to end.
Omg!!! This was simply an outstanding , keep you turning the page stay up all night till you finish it book!! Made you want to cheer, wanna kick some male butt and just love all the brothers for the way they treat their women , so sexy and so so HOT!!! You did an amazing job writing this book , and from all of your followers we Thank You !!!!
Kyle's book is amazing. My favorite one. I absolutely loved this book. The characters was amazing I laughed and maybe cried just a little bit. This story was beautifully written and I can't wait to see what Brittany Crowley writes next, I've loved all of her books but this was is my favorite. One of my favorite reads this year.
