“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.

REVIEW: The Cage Family is back at it! One Quick Obsession is the next installment of The Cage Family series by Carrie Ann Ryan. As always I recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it, but yes each is a standalone in the interconnected world. As book four in the series, we meet many of our characters in the previous books, that is where we kick off our story now.

Hudson Cage is a hot hermit. He has his space, his art and his quiet, all the things he needs to live a somewhat content life. That is until his neighbor moves in, now he shares a part of his land with her and has for sometime. Scarlett Blair, the fiery bain of his existence, the one woman he can’t help but ruffle her feathers. She just also happens to be the best manager at his family’s resort, someone they can’t be without. While these two tend to butt heads more than they agree on anything, they also have a hot spark of chemistry that they are slowly having a harder and harder time ignoring. When Scarlett finds herself in the face of danger, Hudson is the first one to step up, or more like growled up. He makes her safe, then makes her his.

There is something about a Cage man! When Hudson goes all protective alpha over Scarlett, I promise you I nearly swooned. These two are dang near perfect for one another, and so similar as well, but as stubborn as mules. They each come into this new relationship with past history that they must work through before their own future is secure. Scarlett is a force to be taken seriously, and Hudson wants nothing more than to support her in her endeavors. OQO is a fast paced romance with over the top protective alphas and their women who don’t take smack from anyone. For loyal CAR readers, I hope you love Hudson as much as I did.
