Dalton ‘Cage’ Booker is the number one goalie for the San Diego Scorpions. Most people describe him as willful and stubborn—sometimes even difficult to control. More often than not, words fly out of his mouth without the benefit of passing through his brain first. And women love him.

Karen LaGrange, little sister of the former enforcer for the Scorpions, lives in Canada, where she works with special needs children. After losing her job to downsizing, she makes an extended visit to San Diego, forming a friendship with the errant goalie.

Through frequent reminders that they are friends without benefits, Karen struggles to keep their relationship platonic, but the more she shuts him down, the more he wants her.

Can Cage convince Karen to slip under the sheets with him, or is he destined to be firmly entrapped in the friend zone?

Reviewer: Elizabeth

Dalton (Cage) is the goalie for the Scorpions hockey team. You won't find Cage hanging out with the other guys, he's more of a loner. When it come to women Cage is your typical playboy. Love them for a night, and send them on there way. Cage really has no one. and he's not sure why that is. He plays his heart out at the games, so why does he prefer to just go home every night alone? Maybe, Karen can help him with that. Karen lives in Canad, and is visiting her brother Jody (who despises Cage). Karen has had a rough past with men. Because of her past Jody is now very over protective of her.

Cage and Karen met at a wedding for a fellow player. When cage first lays eyes on Karen he of course can't keep his mouth shut, and he's so busy checking out Karen that he never sees Jody's fist fly at him. After Cage hits the floor Karen runs to his defense, and from that moment on Cage knows there is something about Karen. Cage can't get her out of his head, Karen can't seem to get Cage out of her head either, But she is trying to convince herself she only wants to be his Friend.

When Karen losses her job and decides to visit her brother agin Cage jumps on the chance to spend more time with Karen even if she wants to keep him in the friend zone. Just when Karen give up and decides it's time to see what's between her and Cage disaster strikes. Will Cage's overly sweet side convince Karen to move to the states for good, or will his temper make her run back to Canada?

I love this story, and can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series. I love how Cage is a totally different person just for Karen. The fact that Karen never asked Cage to change, and he did it to be a better person just for her won me over. The devotion and tenderness Cage is full of made me want to reach in the book and hug him. While this book is full of sweet moments, it also will have you laughing ( love the face cream), and you won't want to miss the heart stopping moments in this story. I won't be the one to tell get your copy today to find out what happened. Oh and by the way this is the first book I read in the series and while I'm going to get the rest of the series I believe this story needs no back up from the others, it was awesome all on its own.

Cupcakes and vodka gives this story 4 of the sweetest cupcakes around all for the overly sweet Cage, but also a shot of something strong for Cages hotness factor.

Will Karen give in to Cage? Will Jody finally relent and accept Cage's interest in his sister? I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more from this author.

5 Stars Cage and Karen

This is book three in the Scorpion series and I have to say, it is now my favorite! When I first met Cage, I didn't like him at all. What I love about this author is how she writes people how we see them in real life ~ Mary

5 Stars Fantastic read

Loved this book, so hard not to fall in love with Dalton "Cage" Booker and Karen together. The love between them, it's not your typical storyline. And I honestly couldn't put it down once I started. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend this read. ~ Jackie Ugal

I am a country girl at heart who tends to like the simple things...and hockey. Give me a hockey game and I'm set! During intermission, I read. Reading has always been a love of mine since I was a little girl. The books have gotten a bit spicier though. I also like moonlit walks on the beach, strawberries and champagne (ok, dirty martinis actually), and a strong man to hold me...etc., etc., etc. ;)
