This is a real slow burn of a story. With two characters who start out as acquaintances, become friends and then slowly fall in love.
As for the actual story. It was sweet, enjoyable, and easy to read. And I really liked how there was much more to Cage than initially portrayed. It also did keep me engaged from beginning to end and I would recommend it to others. Especially anyone who has read and enjoyed the NHL Scorpion Series so far, or likes their Hockey Romance on the sweeter side.

Yes! Dalton "Cage" Booker is the man I have been wanting to read about.
We've met him in the earlier books in the series. His a cocky, swears like a sailor, is hot tempered with a short fuse. And one hell of a player - on and off the ice.
And he has a knack of rubbing people up the wrong way, especially Jody LeGrange.
Enter Jody's sister Karen - and we know right from the start that there are going to be fireworks - but not always off the good kind.
I felt that spark between Cage and Karen right from the start, but Karen puts him firmly in the friend zone right from the start.
And from here we have a beautiful friendship that could be so much more.
I adored seeing the softer, sweeter side come out in Cage, and the more we got to know, the more I had to love him. My heart hurt for him the more I read.
Karen - gah at times I wanted to shake some sense into her for being such a stubborn ass! Seriously, what more does the man have to do to show you he's the real deal??? It made it hard for me to connect with her at times when she was so standoffish.
This book really is a slow burn. I mean SLOOOOOOOW. It was about 85% of the way through the book before we got to the sexy times. Way to get a girl worked up with all the UST flying around the room Ms Worrell!
And way to redeem Cage Booker to me!
I re-read Cage's Misconduct in one go and even though I had read it before, I had forgotten what a beautiful but at times heartbreaking story it was.
I can't wait to see what Ms Worrell brings us next.

Wow..... I have to say this was the best book yet for me.
I connected right away. Strangely I connected with Cage. I'm not even sure what it was about him that made me FEEL but I did. I have to say that he is my favorite character of the series. Although if we ever get Matty's book that may change.
I really liked Karen as well. She wasn't overly whiney, clingy, or bitchy. I couldn't find her flaw honestly.
GREAT characters. Great (but heartbreaking) story. The only thing I needed was more info from the side characters. Obviously we got to hear from them but no in-depth info.
Thanks Nikki and I can't wait for more. Wow..... I have to say this was the best book yet for me.
