I’m not saying Whitney Merchant’s a gold digger, but she isn’t messing with any broke fighters. And I’m dirt poor, only a few dollars to my name. At least for now. With no education or skills other than being a halfway decent cage fighter, I’ll wash dishes or wait tables if I have to. Anything to make it six more months to my big fat pay day. That’s all the time I have left to convince Whitney … convince Whitney that the two of us belong together before she finds out how much I’m worth.
The spoiled rich girl claims she’s allergic to broke boys who lack the motivation to be successful in life. She thinks I’m a slacker, with no goals or ambition. That was true until we met.
Now, I know what I want, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything I stood to gain, including her.

Goodness, I Love This Series So Much!
In “Alex,” Book 9 in Lane Hart’s Cocky Cage Fighters romance series, the title character is a down-on-his-luck aspiring MMA fighter training with the Havoc crew. He’s sweet, hard-working, and completely hot! He falls headfirst for beautiful, wealthy socialite Whitney (sister of Abby from Book 3 and 5), and they embark on an unlikely relationship considering the fact that she normally wouldn’t date anyone who appears to be struggling financially. Aww moments, steamy, sexy bits, an element of danger and suspense, and some adorably funny scenes, along with the usual cameo appearances made by beloved characters and new ones, make this a wonderful read. Not as heavy as a couple of others, which I really appreciate, since Hart seems to have a knack for giving readers all the feels and knowing just when to drop a lighthearted one on us for good measure. One of my favorite parts of this one is the transformation we see in Alex. His humility and willingness to give up absolutely everything for someone else is just so touching. Pretend there are more than five stars here because I would if I could.
Loved the whole series!
I can say this one thousand times and I will continue to say that I love this woman.
Every single book that that brilliant mind creates is a masterpiece and can get me hooked just by reading the first chapter.
Lane Hart has a simple, intense and hot writing that can appeal to your inner goddess. Lol
Alex is her latest release and dayum woman!!
Before you start to read this book I need to tell you something.
Alex is the 9th book from the Cocky Cage Fighter series and I totally advise you to read the first 8 books, because despite they are all standalones, all characters interact in every book. And the fact that you read the other books first will give you the chance to meet them all.
This books tells the stories of Alex and Whitney.
Alex is a rich and spoild guy that’s used to have everything he wants without working for it. One day his dad get fed up with the way his son is living his life so he sent him away for one year, without money or luxury. He needs to support himself without help in order to keep his trust fund.
Whitney is Abby’s sister. Do you remember Abby? If you don’t, you need to read Senn’s story and find out who she is…
Whitney just ended a relationship and is feeling more alive than ever. She wants a new start, a new life without drama… She just wants what every girl wants… A man who can love her unconditionally and without doubts. A man who can make her dream and see stars… But when you have your mother messing with your life that can be almost impossible to achieve..
And if you want to know more… Grab yourself a copy and dig in
And just like I thought I freaking love this book.
I loved the way the story unfolded but what I loved the most was that this story is so beautiful and so intense that will make you dream.
The plot is amazing and the hot scenes are there as well. Of course the author scared me a few times but I love her anyway.
I laughed so hard with some chapters that I thought I could pass out. Lol but I was also sad, afraid and mad as hell. So just from this you can see that this book has the total package.
I’m super sad because this is the last book from this series! I loved all the characters so much that I wanted to continued to know more about them but hey, every good series has to end.
So Lane Hart what’s next on your agenda? What will you write next?
I’ve already told you that it doesn’t matter what you write because I know that I will love it because if I don’t I’ll go there and kick you. Lol
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Alex Stiles, spoiled rich kid to a multi-billionaire, gets completely cut off. No car, no phone, no place to live and only the money that he has in his wallet. He then finds out that the people that he thought were his friends really are not. So he decides to move for a fresh start. In Cary, NC is where he starts to build his life. He meets Whitney Merchant. Everyone warns him that she is a gold digger, but he decides that he will take a chance on her. She doesn’t know he has a huge trust fund waiting for him. He plays up the poor guy act to see if she really will stick around. Whitney comes from a pretty messed up family. Her mom is totally manipulative (since Whitney and Abby are sister you can totally see where Abby gets it from!) And despite thinking that he is broke, she falls in love with Alex. But you can not have a truly happy ending if there isn’t some good drama in the mix!
This was a great story! I liked Alex way back when he had a cameo in Jude. I am glad that the sweetness he showed then continued even when he thought that no one would like him since he was no longer rich. I really liked Whitney. I always felt like she was putting everyone else before herself, and I am glad that she decided to stick with Alex to have something that was her own. And I totally applaud her for going after him when he left even though it had to be so hard for her since the last time she saw him he some not-so-nice things to say about her.
Alex by Lane Hart a five-star read that will have you fighting for more. This is the ninth and final Cocky Cage fighter series full book, there is a bonus novella available from the authors newsletter at the end of the book. I am sad to see the back of these guys, but I think Lane has done a great job as we have finished the series on a massive high and there are more fighters coming with the out of the cage series and they look fabulous.
Alexander Stiles is a broke man, not broken, just broke. He is having to wait tables and do construction work to make ends meet as well as having a roommate, not where he saw his life 6 months ago, and hopefully not where he sees himself in another 6 months, if everything goes to plan. But we all know life never goes the way you want it to. The only thing he cares about if the fact he hasn’t been laid in 6 months, he’s found it’s so much harder to do when your broke. But that is all set to change when he hears something at the Havok gym.
Whitney Merchant has come to the realisation that she needs to see stars, as she has just finished an eleven month relationship with a man who didn’t make her see stars, and left her quite unsatisfied. All she needs is a one-off star seeing session and then she can move on. He doesn’t need to be anyone, he’s not long term after all. So when she turns up at the gym to find one, it doesn’t matter that he’s so broke he doesn’t even have a care, if he can keep her safe from herself then that may all he needs to do.
Can Alex persuade Whitney that money doesn’t matter and she can live with a broke boy, it’s not for life, just a little longer. Will Whitney be able to go against the grain, or will Alex give it all up for love? This was an amazing end to a great series.
Lane has given us amazing characters to love in the Cocky Cage Fighter series and Alex was no different. Alex and Whitney’s chemistry was off the charts hot, fun and comical at times but definitely worth the read. I loved this book so much that I devoured the entire book in one sitting not realizing it was over until the words “The End” appeared. I am sad to see the series come to an end but LOVED the journey along the way! Lane has such a gift with her words that translate into such phenomenal reads, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Alex being the last book in this series makes me a little sad. Thank you Lane Hart for a great series, will be rereading again that’s for sure.
