Laura’s Review of Cage (Corps Security #2) by Harper Sloan


If you like Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley, Raid by Kristen Ashley, and Saving Dallas by Kim Jones, then you will love this book!!!!!!


Basic Summary: Greg Cage was born to protect.  While growing up, he has his mother and sister’s shielf against the world…until he failed.  For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around…until it was stripped from him.  Now, with his friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control.   All he has ever known was how to protect: his family, his friends, and his country.  Can he go against everything he has ever known, and give up that control?

                Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold the reins in her life.  She has been the rock in her family for more years that she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now.  She has always been fiercely independent and proud.  The last thing she will ever do is ask for someone’s help.  But when that choice is out of her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her strength?

                The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs.  Someone he craves.  Meli know the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache.  Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

                All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no choice but to call in a favor.  He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon Break from the Breakneck MC.  Together, they make sure that nothing threatens anyone Greg loves again. 



What I Love About This Book:  This started out steaming hot, and just gets better from there.  I thought I loved Brian Ross because of apadravya piercing but Greg Cage takes it to a whole other level and when you read this book you will 100% agree!!!!!! There are no words for the sexiness that is Greg Cage.  After reading book 1 in this series Greg Cage was the sweet guy that was like a brother to Izzy, I never really saw him as a sexy character and I was a little hesitant to go on to the next book because of this.  Boy was I wrong!!!! Greg Cage puts a whole new level to erotica and thank you so much for that, Harper Sloan!!!


                I also like the fact that Melissa doesn’t struggle with openly trusting Greg for most of the book, it doesn’t take them long to get together and it’s refreshing to read that.  Most books the trust struggle is ongoing for about 70% of the book, and while that makes for good reading sometimes it can get a little tiring.  It also sets it apart from the first book with Izzy and Axel and I like that even though this is a singular series the stories are very separate and don’t follow the same kind of plot line.

                Probably the hottest scene involves a wall, make up sex, and multiple orgasms.  Each sex scene was beyond hot and I love them but that was probably the hottest in my opinion, thank you very much! After one of the most hilarious scenes I have read in a long time, a devastating heart breaking scene takes place.  I love books that can take me to a high then slam you down low because that just sucks the reader in more and more.  This story at a certain point takes my breath away and has my heart racing.  There are certain points where it’s almost too hard to read, and that’s what I crave from a book.  I want things in a plot that set it apart from others, not just set it apart from other books within the series but from all other books and Cage delivers in every single aspect. 



Cons:  I think I would've liked seen maybe one more scene of girl talk in this book.  I think that’s kind of the only thing that was lacking in the book.  To actually read the conversation where Melissa tells Izzy about Greg’s piercings would've been awesome. 
  
                Also I wish there was more details when describing Greg’s house.  We get the gist of what his bedroom looks like and kind of what his living room looks like but that’s about it.  When reading Axel there was a lot more detail when describing his digs and that didn't happen in this book. 


Overall:  Great story and plot.  There were definitely things in this book I DID NOT see coming at all.  I was definitely hooked the minute the book began and it was definitely a compelling story.  I love Greg Cage, and cannot wait to get to Beck and Dee’s story!!!! 

                There are so many parts in this book that I couldn't help but break out laughing and there were other parts that brought tears to my eyes.  Harper Sloan is an awesome writer and cannot to read the other books in this series!!!!
