I am Cage; here’s an introduction to the journey through my life. I grew up being bullied in school and eventually found the strength to fight back. I gained the approval of my father by joining the military where I met Tamara and Vanessa, who introduced me to the world of BDSM; and where I met my best friend, Rockman. The heartache and loss I faced further made me the man I became. I left the … military and have continued living by the motto of “Make no excuses and offer no apologies.”

I felt every emotion from this book and was very realistic. Cage grew up learning to strong and decided to join the military and along the way he found love but there’s also some loss. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Hunter Holmes
This book is amazing. Had me hooked from the first page and took me for an emotional ride and loved it. Looking forward to more books from this very talented writer. Well done Hunter Holmes
This book was seriously amazing and resonated with me long after I had read the last page. The characters are so well written you feel like you know them, their personalities are genuine, with attributes that blend well with one another. The trials and tribulations that test the characters are done in ways that you can’t anticipate, and you feel each gut wrenching emotion. The scenes are abundantly detailed and you have no problem visualizing every detail.
On a more personal note: I enjoyed the character development of Cage, the sheer strength, heart, and determination, showed what a wonderful man he was and became throughout the story. He had a love and sense of belonging with Nessa and Tamara that was truly beautiful. The friendship and brotherhood he had with Rockman was heartwarming. What can I say, it’s a phenomenal story and one you need to read and experience for yourself, I definitely highly recommend it!
This is the first book in the CoC series and Hunter Holmes Debut novel.
I got sucked into the life of Cage and his girls. For me it felt more like a friend is telling me his life story rather than a fictional story.
I love how it shows what trust means and how deep friendship goes.
Its full of love, laughter, friendship, trust, unexpected situations. I sobbed thru the last two chapters.
It’s honestly something I’ve never read before and I really enjoyed it.
Thank goodness can I dive right into CoC II
This debut book by Hunter Holmes is magnificent. It begins to take you on the journey of Cage, one of the main characters in the book. It is fast paced, unpredictable, and a definite page turner. I felt all the feels with this book, they snuck up on me at times. The dynamic between his best friend and the two special women in his life is true to life and wonderful! I recommend this read!
I knew I would love this book just from the preview but nothing prepared me for what I read. I loved getting to know and grow with Cage. His relationship with Tamara and Nessa is so special and you could really feel that when reading this. The real life things that take place only make this book that much better. There were many unexpected things that happened and the emotional rollercoaster ride was so worth it! It’s so well written it’s easy to get pulled in and feel like you’re part of what’s happening. I loved this book and I’m looking forward to book 2!
Getting to witness the development of Cage from childhood into adulthood, dealing with bullies, and craving the approval of his father felt very familiar for me. I went through and abundance of emotions I wasn’t altogether ready for reading this book, because although it was not what I was expecting, it was so much more!
Then when he brought in his loveable sidekick Rockman(loved their friendship!) and Tamara and Nessa and the introduction of the BDSM lifestyle, and I was drawn in even more. I knew very little about that lifestyle, and although a few things made me cringe, not all people’s kink is the same. And the dynamic that developed with the three of them became a caring and loving relationship that was also a new twist for me, as I had never read about a MFF poly relationship before, but Hunter Holmes does such an amazing job in describing the details and things that people new to the ls wouldn’t get, that it just made me more curious. All the characters were well developed, but he left you with questions. But that just means there is more to come!
An awesome and amazing debut book and this author..the book had me laughing and crying at the same time. It had me hooked from page one till the end and I can’t wait to read more. If you haven’t read this book yet ,what are you waiting for? Go out and grab your copy today.you won’t be disappointed whenever you do.that I can promise you.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this debut novel but I started reading and was hooked from the beginning. I didn’t put it down once I started. Hunter has a way with words that go beyond story telling. Watching Cage develop beyond a bullied young man and start to form his relationships was incredible. It was an informative and emotional ride. I’m looking forward to the rest of the story.
This book and I found each other at a moment in time that perhaps was serendipitous. Though I was not the one that served in the military like the characters in the story, I was in love with a soldier once upon a time. We met after he was discharged and I was young, naive, inexperienced. Much like the love for Cage in this story my love was my first too. I didn’t know what PTSD was or how to handle it, but I knew that I loved this man. Reading this book, I had a lot of Deja Vu moments and a lot of yelling at my phone and a lot of screaming to the Heavens and a lot of crying in a ball in a chair. I found out this week that this man…my first…my only…had died. So as I read this book and the way the characters loved each other, which was similar in the way that I had loved my ex, and read on with the losses and the pains they endured…..I suffered right along side them. It was cathartic in a way.
I was unsure if I would enjoy the book, however I quickly fell in love with the characters and the powerful dynamic between all of them. I most particularly enjoyed the relationship between Cage and his quirky sidekick Rockman. There are some heart wrenching moments in the book that at one point brought me to tears. The way the book was written felt to me like it was based on actual events.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to more in this series.
This book was so good. The characters are all strong people. This book will give you lots of emotions. It has everything you could want in a book and is a great start to the series.
I hadn’t read any reviews for this book, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was an amazingly heartwarming story with characters you can embrace and on some level relate to. Cage’s journey was captivating and kept me engaged from the beginning. It was a fantastic feel-good debut book. Looking forward to book 2.
I absolutely love this book I did not want to put it down and you learn a lot from this book LOL I want more much more
“The Prospect” is a thunderstorm of emotions with believable character interaction, humor, moments that tug your heartstrings, action, steamy moments, and vivid scene descriptions. A page-turner read that left me craving more.
In middle school Cage caught the attention of a bully and could not protect himself from harm. Over summer vacation, he built up his strength to defend himself. When he finished high school, he joined the US Marines finding his strength a blessing in training. Rockman a fellow US Marine becomes his best friend. Meeting Tamara and Nessa spiral him into the world of BDSM. Cage faces many challenges and life-altering changes.
Stirring well-written debut read with an alluring storyline and praiseworthy characters. I feel the reality of this story is inspirational and provokes visualization. The author does a fabulous job showing how life is precious as is unconditional love. Each of the characters have endearing qualities and flaws that open your heart to feel their emotions. I look forward to the next book in this series. Loving this read, I reviewed this story via kindle unlimited.
This is an amazing story of a young boys journey to manhood. It will take you on an emotional rollercoaster that will stay with you long after you finished reading.
The story is well written and I loved the relationship between the characters.
Well done Hunter.
After reading the preview I couldn’t wait to read the rest of this book, and now that I have I can say that it was everything I was expecting and more.
This is a phenomenal debut for brand new author HH, and the start of what looks like will be an extraordinary series. It is a very well written book with great characters and a fantastic and easy to read storyline. It was a page-turner from the very beginning. Cage takes us on a deep, heart wrenching, and unforgettable journey that will make you feel like you’re there with all of the characters, living their story right along with them.
This is only the beginning of ‘The Chronicles of Crighton’ Series, and I absolutely cannot wait time see what else the author and Cage have in store for us.
The Prospect is the debut book by Hunter Holmes. I really liked the author’s writing style, which drew me into the story. I felt the characters were well-developed. Cage, Tamara, Nessa, and Rockman formed a tight bond with one another. The book showed that family can be more than genetics. The Prospect is a beautiful and emotional story about friendship, love, and loss. Kudos to Hunter Holmes.
Cage’s story blew me away. All the characters were dynamic and engaging and I was emotionally invested in their journey. It’s not very often that I read a book that leaves me completely shattered. This debut story by Hunter Holmes did just that. I highly recommend this five star must read!
