What’s not to like when the cages are involved. We have been waiting a long time for another Cage family book and the author does not disappoint. I recommend this book and this author.
Hopefully at this point you have read the Cage Brother stories, but even if you haven’t you can read this one with missing serious backstories. (For the record…read them all, you’ll love these arrogant tough Cage boys so much). Emerson is a legacy. She is also Daddy’s little girl, and it may be a fight to the finish for him allow her to get into the MMA ring. Rebel lives up to her nickname in every conceivable way but she also needs to step back, grow up and learn to deal with the notoriety that comes with being a Cage. Rebel also knows what she wants and when she puts her mind to it…no one, not even her brother’s best friend will be able to stop her from getting what she wants. Lots of fun moments and I’m completely head over heels in love with Leo…and Danny…and Joss…and Penny…and Rebel…and you know what I mean!
Brittany Crowley has written the perfect brothers best friend romance!
Fun, sassy, and steamy with the perfect amount of drama to tie it all together.
Rebel has a passion and strength about her that has you in her corner rooting her on!
Joss is hott and totally alpha! His protectiveness and loyalty will leave you craving more!
Love this amazing new series,Love the Cage family.Emmy and Joss grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go.Looking forward to more.
Rebel is the first book by Brittany that I have read and I loved it. Emmy and Joss have this amazing chemistry. From friends to lovers romance. Thtoughout the story, you have the sweet and funny emotions that they both have. What I loved most about it was that Joss supported Emmy through it all and accepted her career and would do anything to protect her and that includes her family. I cant wait to go back and read more about the family stories to know more. BUt Rebel can be read as a standalone.
Brittany Crowley really knocked it out of the park with this one. I absolutely loved everything about it! Rebel is the ultimate friends to lovers/brother’s best friend romance and was exactly the type of read that I was looking for.
Emerson Cage is a fierce fighter who aspires to follow in her dad’s footsteps. She has always dreamed of fighting in the MMA and her hard work and dedication has finally paid off. But before her first fight, she decides to let loose and blow off some steam. Taking a cross-country road trip with her two best friends is just the thing she needs. At least until her long-time crush/bodyguard shows up and throws a wrench in their plans.
Josiah Kent has always had a thing for Emmy, but pursuing her is simply out of the question. Not only is he her bodyguard and seven years older, but he is also her older brother’s best friend. When Emmy takes off, it’s his job to find her and bring her back home. It doesn’t take him long, but things don’t go exactly as he had planned. When he sees her all dressed up and dancing on that bar, he can no longer deny these feelings that he has. The two of them together are sizzling hot and absolutely explosive. They certainly steamed up the pages and left me begging and pleading for more.
All in all, Rebel was a terrific read from beginning to end! The story-line was smart, sexy and a whole lot of fun. The characters were real, flawed and easy to relate to. I thought this was a good read to spend my afternoon getting swept up in. This was the first book I’ve read from this author and most definitely won’t be the last.
This is my first time reading this author and I am hooked. I read this book the whole way through ( which means 2 hours sleep) it was worth it. Emerson “Rebel” Cage comes from a family of MMA male fighters. She is determined to live up to the family legacy as a female MMA. She is determined in proving herself; especially to her father and brothers.
Before her first fight she embarks on a road trip with friends to let loose and get out of the spotlight.
Joss is her older brother best friend and she has had a flame for him for a long time. Will she win at a second chance romance with Joss, establish herself as a MMA fighter and live up to family?
This book was a great sports romance. Kudos Ms. Crowley for the woman being the MMA sports focus. Loved the older brother best friend romance. This book was funny, sweet, and heartwarming. Loved the characters and the dual POV. Total package in this read that I am happy to volunteer to leave a review for.
This is one of my favorite genre and MMA Fighters is one of them. I especially loved this story because it was a female MMA fighter and she kicked arse! I loved this story so much I couldn’t get enough. I could not put it down till I was done late in the morning and I was like OMG because that ending oh yes that ending had me fist pumping in my room.
Emmy is amazing and she knows what she wants and she wants to follow the legacy her family has so she fights MMA and she is damn good at it. Her first real fight is coming up so she decides to take some time with her friends and takes off. Well her brother is not having it so he sends his best friend Josiah to find her and when he does shiz hits the fan because Josiah is in love with Emmy and has always been but she is his best friends younger sister but that doesn’t matter this time because when he sees her all dressed up and dancing provocatively he gives in and tells her how he feels.
Will Emmy feel the same way? What will happen in her first fight? This is an amazing story that you have to one click and read it all in one sitting!
I love the Cage family, and this next generations book was just as good as the originals. Rebel is a take no SH*t kind of girl, and Joss is just the man to try and tame her. This is “one hard hitting” romance in my opinion. Can’t wait to see what comes next with this family.
What a wonderful book. It showed us that a girl can do anything that she puts her mind to. We watch as 2 people share something so intimate and loving but feel afraid of what her family might think. They are so good together that it makes us want what they have and gives us hope. I know that there will be more from this story and I can’t wait to see who it is. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all opinions are my own.
I have been a fan of Brittany Crowley’s writing since the beginning of her Cage series and my love has no waned but after reading Rebel, I have to say that she steamrolled me with all the emotion and heat that she put into her newest fictional couple Emmie and Joss. Brittany kept my heart strings tangled more than the sheets between her heroine and hero. She has never brought me to tears before but the waterworks appeared from time to time while reading. I don’t know if it was being back in the arms of the Cage family that made me sentimental or that I felt all the emotions down to my toes or maybe a little of both but I was touched profoundly by Rebel and will most definitely be revisiting this couple that won the fight of love and took home the ultimate prize…each other’s heart!
Emmie aka “Rebel” kept my body aching with laughter. Her and her bff’s Leo and Penny’s antics kept me up until the wee hours of the morning with no hope of getting any sleep. By the end I felt like Rebel was my girl and was sad to read the last page but I know that Brittany will not let her fans down and I am sure we will see many more escapades from Rebel in the future. She keeps things fun while still fighting tooth and nail for equality between the sexes both in and out of the ring. Brittany took “bad ass heroine” to the next level with Emmie and there was no way to resist her.
And if Brittany didn’t dazzle me enough with a sexy sculpted kick ass heroine, she brought me to my knees with Joss who goes toe to toe with Rebel while still treating her like the “princess” that she is. He is swoony and hot in every sense of the words. He had me convinced he was Emmie’s soul mate from the first page and I melted from the heat coming off of the two every time they were in the same room together. He is the perfect mixture of sweet, alpha bad ass, and provocative to keep me hanging onto his every word.
Brittany Crowley takes us back into the world of Cage family and gives us another fictional couple to watch go round for round in the ring of love. I highly recommend Rebel for a romance that will knock you out and leave you dazed long after the last page is read. Brittany has made more room in my heart for this MMA family that has grown more near and dear with each new story she created. I cannot wait to see what the Cage offspring will be up to in future books and hope that Brittany will not leave her readers waiting long to find out.
I’m so excited we’ve had the Cage men and now we now get the Cage kids and first up is Emerson Zander & Savvy’s youngest daughter and she’s following in her dad’s footsteps about go go MMA pro.
Brittany’s sense of humour shines through yet again, you never disappoints making you lol with some of the scenes.
You get all the Cages and this sidekicks, newcomers, amazing family loyalties and unbreakable friendships.
