Anyone who knows me knows that fighter romance is my jam. There is something about these stories that have me addicted. Callan and Josie were sexy and I loved the easy dynamic between them!

Josie and Callan gave me all types of feels. Their connection seem genuine, spontaneous and so real. I enjoyed the first part of the story but the latter half even more as we see Callan and Josie able to really be "all in" without limitations. This was a sweet and sexy read!

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. 4 stars! ~Ratula

5 STARS for Misadventures in the Cage by Sarah Robinson

ARC received from Netgalley & the Publisher ( Waterhouse ) in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way .

I’m a huge fan of the “Misadventures “ series by Waterhouse - some great romance authors - writing some really great stories. Sarah Robinson does a great job pulling the reader in immediately to Josie Gray & Callan Walsh’s story. The two meet by accident as Cal is in Las Vegas for an MMA fight - he is an up and coming star on the cage fighting scene. Unfortunately he does not know that Josie is part of a reality TV series featuring his main rival who just happens to be Josie’s brother Xavier.

After their one night stand things begin to unravel - the problem is that although there is a really deep connection and chemistry that both feel could lead to something more their relationship ends before it even has a chance. ( mostly due to Josie’s family interference)

For the first time Josie decides to focus on herself & her dream of becoming a chef. She leaves to pursue that dream in New York away from Cal & her family. This was a great read - with some unexpected plot twists but true love does win in the end !!!

Great story & HEA !!

Another incredible Misadventures Book...Misadventures in the Cage is yummy and emotional on so many levels. Sarah Robinson does such a fabulous job weaving the story of Josie Gray and Callan Walsh.
The chemistry with them is off the charts but the love they keep walking away from will break your heart.
Page turning and very hard to put down.

Ms. Robinson never disappoints!! She’ll have you instantly rooting for Josie and Callan. I mean, really, how can you not love them after their first interaction 😍
Every time you thought there was a lull in the “action”, BAM! This couple is hit with another hurdle. I couldn’t put this one down. I read it straight through until 3am and went to work on 2 hours sleep and it was WORTH EVERY MINUTE!! I must say, this one had me thinking at the end and I was really hoping the other shoe was going to drop. I don’t think I could make the same decision Josie did but I loved it all the same.

I've read quite a few of the Misadventures books, and Misadventures in the Cage is a great addition to the series.

After a crazy (and downright bizarre, lol) night together, Josie Gray soon learns that Callan Walsh is like the forbidden fruit! He neglected to tell her one tiny little detail - he’s a cage fighter! Her brother is also a cage fighter – and guess who her brother’s latest opponent is?! Yep - things soon get a little awkward!

This book has everything. The twists and turns will keep you hooked, with an ending you probably won't expect. Sarah Robinson is a new author to me, and I’ll definitely be reading some of her other books. Loved it!

Misadventures in the Cage was a knockout! No matter how prepared you think you are for the events in this book, you're not. So hold on tight and enjoy the ride. I enjoyed this book SO much, and while there were factors that I wish I could erase (you'll get it once you've read the story), it was a great overall journey that I would gladly go on again and again. The characters are well-written, I loved watching them grow and develop with each chapter. So many twists and turns, that will pull you in all different directions. I'm still recovering from it, and it's been a few days.

No Sacrifice, No Glory....

Callan Walsh is a MMA fighter and he is untamed and savage in the Cage. He needs to beat the reigning champ to achieve his goal he has been striving for all his life. Josie Gray has taken a back seat to her brother Xavier. He is the golden child, and Josie is his sidekick. Josie decides to let her hair down for once in her life and throws caution into the wind. She meets a sexy gorgeous stranger in a bar and their sizzling hot chemistry takes them to the bedroom and a hot night of sexual abandonment. Just what the doctor ordered.

But like all things good that happen to Josie, they are fleeting. Turns out the high voltage hottie she had unbelievable passion with, is none other than her brother's opponent in a highly hyped social media extravaganza MMA fight. She has the worst luck. She actually cares for Callan as she has found out he is more than just muscle and brawn. Callan finds himself falling hard for Josie, one of his no-never rules getting into a relationship.

There were a lot of lighter moments in this book as well as the dramatic ones. This was an emotional topsy turvy ride as they both struggle with how they truly feel for each other and what they are both willing to sacrifice to be together.

Talk about an unforgettable beginning! I dare say their first drive is absolutely the most memorable one I have ever read. It's beyond bonding and there clearly seals their fate as a couple. Or it would if they didn't get in their own way.

Misadventures in the Cage is definitely frustrating at times and incredibly romantic. Misadventures in the Cage will also test your patience and true hopeless romantic status. Offing a bikini model definitely would make it a totally different genre. 😉 Good thing Sarah Robinson was able to pull me back from that ledge because I don't have anyone willing to bury a body in the desert with me.
Enjoy the push and pull of these two fighting their feelings. Hold tight and fight the heartache because in the end you get everything you wanted!

I loved the blurb on this one. Grabbed my attention. The story is fast paced with good chemistry between the characters. I had moments where I struggled with Josie. She frustrated me with her indecisiveness. Callan was forever trying to do the right thing. I really loved the epilogue though. A good twist from the standard HEA.

This is the first time I've read a book by Sarah Robinson. I thoroughly loved this story between Callan and Josie. With all the ups and downs I was so excited with the ending. Not only did I laugh out loud multiple times but it also had mad at the whole situation.

Misadventures in the Cage by Sarah Robinson is a fun, and romantic addition to the Misadventures series. There is wonderful chemistry between the lead characters and the storyline is fast moving, but this occasionally makes it a little confusing. I enjoyed the overall premise of the story, but the second part of the book left me with conflicting views.

A chance encounter at a bar leads to an unforgettable romance that seems to be doomed from the start. The attraction is intense, the emotions are real, but will that matter when everything else is striped and fate seems to want to keep them apart? A captivating story from start to finish that deserves five stars and all the praise! Callan and Josie are unforgettable and their story is one of growth and taking chances, even when they scare you to death.

Having read, and adored, some of the previous books in the this series, I had high expectations for the latest addition. It had so many promising aspects, from falling for the enemy's sister to the fighting, but was not at all what I anticipated.

Everything was going good until I reached around the middle of the book. It could have been wonderfully resolved, prior to the mess that occurred during the second half, but it was as if the author was trying to add various levels of drama to keep the reader entertained. This had the opposite affect.

Misadventures in the Cage was unpredictable from beginning to end, with weird twists and crazy selfish behaviour. By the end, I just didn't know what to expect anymore. I can tell you the ending wasn't at all what I thought out it would be. In the end, this wasn't the book for me. It was all over the place and didn't seem to know which direction it wanted to head in next.

eARC was kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

Omg this book was an amazing roller coaster of emotions. From start to finish I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Josie and Callan are definitely relationship goals. The moment she found out he was her brother's opponent to the moment that his publicity girlfriend got pregnant these two were destined to be together! And to think it started with burying a sex doll!!! Sarah needs to write a sequel.

The Misadventures series are one of my favorite. It has the much needed dose of romance along with bringing together some of the greatest romance writers. Misadventures in the Cage brings us into the world of MMA Fighting. We meet Josie who worked as her brother's assistance while filming a reality tv show about their family. He is set to fight Callan Walsh. Little did Josie know this was the man she met the night before and not only had an instant attraction to but also decided to bury a sex doll with. This book covers the span of these characters finding each other, leaving each other and coming back together. It was a quick read that I recommend everyone get a hold of.

Thanks to netgalley and Waterhouse Press for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review. This is book 27 in the series but is a stand alone.
