My heart absolutely broke when I learnt about Eva's past, I actually cried (in public!) when I was reading the prologue.

I knew there was a nice guy hiding under that cocky exterior and I'm so pleased Eva managed to bring him out of his shell! You can't beat a reformed bad boy and Cage is one of my favourites, he keeps his confident and cocky outer shell while managing to show an incredibly sweet and romantic side to him too and of course I loved him. As much as I didn't like Cage's attitude towards girls I did feel for him as I started to learn more about his background and I had a feeling that when he finally met the right woman he would fall hard and fast. In spite of his bad boy attitude we did get to see how much he cares for his best friend Low, the two of them grew up together, they both had difficult family lives and neither of them has ever had anyone who they can rely on apart from each other. We met Cage in Because of Low, and saw that he's a total player who is happy to jump into bed with any girl who will have him and that he never lets his heart get involved. Can Cage break through Eva's defences and persuade her to take a chance on him? What will it cost him if he does succeed? Eva is the one woman who seems immune to Cage's charms and that draws him to her like nothing else but Eva has had her heart broken before and the last thing she needs is another guy in her life, especially a player like Cage. That's before he realises she's the bosses daughter and firmly off limits. Spending his summer in the country working on a farm is Cage's idea of hell but the moment he sees Eva things start to look up. His coach has given him one last chance to redeem himself, he just has to keep his head down, work hard and stay out of trouble for the whole summer to earn it. Playboy and party animal Cage is in trouble, getting caught drink driving was the last straw and he is at risk of losing everything - his place on the team and his college scholarship - if he doesn't turn his life around fast.

Behind those big blue eyes and fiery temper, Eva is nursing a broken heart and the last thing she needs is a player like Cage flashing his irritating (though admittedly gorgeous) smile in her direction.īut as the humidity rises, Cage begins to crack Eva's carefully built walls as the two of them learn that what they want, and need, may be something they never expected. The only bright spot is Eva, an uptight, snarky brunette who seems immune to Cage's advances.

Usually his charm gets him off the hook, but this time his recklessness means he's spending his summer sweeping out barns and babysitting cows, instead of enjoying late-night hook-ups.
