Blurb
Oblivion is a sweet, sweet place.
No pain. No disturbing thoughts of the past. No guilt from
my recent actions.
Deep down, there is still a part of me that knows how
screwed up I am. I don’t see a way out, not now. Tria’s gone, and the
possibility of her forgiving me in my current state is exactly zero. I know I
have to pull myself together, accept my responsibilities, and try to make
amends, but I have no idea where to start.
No job. No apartment. I’m living on the streets with the
other junkies. As little as I had to offer Tria before, I have nothing to give
her now. The only way out is to come clean and tell Tria the truth about my
past, but the idea of reliving the memories is so painful, I can’t think about
it long enough to figure out a solution.
I’ve hit rock bottom, and I don’t even know which way is up
any more.
This is the conclusion of the Caged Trilogy. It has been a shocking ride throughout all
three books, that’s for sure. There were
times my jaw dropped, like finding out about what was going to happen to Tria’s
best friend.
The end of book two and the beginning of this one had me so
mad at Liam. Tria tells him that she’s
pregnant, and his past flashes before his eyes.
The only thing that helps numb him and makes him forget, especially
after she leaves him, is heroine. He is
using again.
We finally learn everything about Liam and what happened
before and why he is so scared right now.
This book is a very bumpy ride for Liam. He finally has to deal, and confront, his
past and his demons for Tria and the baby.
His journey isn’t pretty or easy, at all.
He changes so much in this book. He truly loves Tria.
“Every time I see you, I love you more. Every time I touch you, you become more
important to me. There is nothing in
this world that could make me feel any different, so don’t you tell me what I
like and don’t like. I like you exactly
how you are right now. You’re beautiful
and sexy, and you’re mine.”
I do wish he would have called out Yolanda more on her
lies.
I honestly didn’t know if Liam could face his demons and get
Tria back or not. I love how everything
worked out for him.
I have to say, all the names Liam called Tria’s purse throughout
this trilogy had me laughing hard.
Excerpt #1
I reached out and touched the edge of the pillow. It was insanely soft and warm. I stroked it, and images of Tria’s breasts
crawled through my head, making me smile.
I stroked my cock as I thought about her, but I couldn’t come.
I could hear a voice in the other room, but it didn’t
concern me, so I didn’t move. Through
heavy eyelids, I watched the piles of dirty laundry all over the floor. I found shapes of animals in the patterns,
just like cloud pictures.
“The beans are gone.”
I rolled my head to the side and looked up at Krazy Katie’s
face. I smiled and tried to say
something, but my tongue wasn’t cooperating.
I focused on her eyes as they stared down at me quizzically.
“Trains need an engineer,” Krazy Katie said.
“It’s okay,” I said.
My tongue still felt weird, all numb and heavy. I twisted it around in my mouth, and it
tickled my teeth. I blinked a couple of
times before looking back at my neighbor.
“I got the helm. I’m all good.”
Did trains have a helm, or was that just boats? I laughed.
Krazy Katie covered her eyes with one hand. I could see her chest rising and falling as
she took long breaths. I started
counting slowly in my head but quickly forgot the number.
“Left the station,” she said quietly. “No engineer.
Kicked in the caboose. Nothing
but tracks.”
She turned in slow motion, and I watched vapor trails of her
dull blue T-shirt swirl around the room as she left. I heard the window slide shut and then
silence.
“I’m all good,” I whispered.
There was no reply.
Even though my arms and legs were way too content to be
bothered with moving, I shoved myself out of bed anyway. My rig was sitting on the kitchen table, all
ready to go. I was still pretty high, but
I could feel darkness closing in around me, and I didn’t want it.
I wanted warmth and happiness.
Plastic tube, arm slap, needle prick.
“Like a fucking pro.”
I lay my head on the table as the fluid sensations rippled
through me. Tria didn’t matter. She’d forgive me in time. In fact, she was probably already over
it. How could she not be?
“I’m good. Really, I
am.”
I was never one to lie to myself, but it was getting easier
all the time.
Excerpt #2
Released Excerpt 1
I watched Yolanda walk out of the cage. Apparently, I kept looking in her direction
too long. I took a blow to the head
before I realized the fight had started.
I stumbled back, shook my head, and regained my
footing. I raised my fists up in front
of my face, and danced lightly on my toes, waiting for his next move. We circled slowly, jabbing but not finding
our marks. My head swam again.
I needed to put an end to this. I needed to get it over with so I could take
my winnings and get more smack. I had
come down too hard and too fast. I had
to get straight again.
I rushed him, striking out with my right and then my
left. I took an elbow to the face, and
felt my neck snap back.
The next thing I knew, I was on my back, and the guy was
straddling my chest. I registered my
head being thrown from side to side with punches, but I couldn’t focus enough
to get him off me. I jabbed at his
sides, but it was ineffective.
With my head spinning, I slammed my hand against the ground
three times.
“Woo hoo!” The challenger
jumped off of me and started running around the small cage.
I could hear cheers, boos, and people screaming at me, but I
couldn’t comprehend the words. I rolled
over and pushed myself up before stumbling out of the cage.
“Jesus, Liam!” Back
in the locker room, Yolanda fussed around the cut over my eye and my bloody lip
as I tried to push her hands away and get my jeans back on. “What the hell is wrong with you tonight?”
“Just forget it!” I yelled.
“I need to get going.”
“Oh yeah? Why’s that?
You got nothing waiting for you at
home.”
I pulled my shoulders close together and bit down on the pad
of my thumb. I didn’t remember telling
Yolanda about Tria leaving, but apparently I had. I was afraid to open my mouth now. I tensed every muscle to keep myself from
trembling. If Yolanda noticed, she’d
figure out why.
If she figured it out, she’d stop me.
Is that such a bad thing?
Yes, most definitely.
I couldn’t risk it. I
couldn’t have Yolanda knowing what I was doing and dragging me somewhere to clean
up. She would take back the cash she’d
just given me, and I’d be royally fucked.
I couldn’t let that happen.
“I gotta go,” I said again.
I shouldered past her and out the door, ignoring her calls after
me. I didn’t stop at the bar or
acknowledge the fans around me as I left.
I took the cash I’d earned to Max and traded it for all the
heroin I could get. I returned to my
apartment and banged up.
Bliss.
Everything was perfect.

This is a good start to this trilogy. I’m still wondering
about the last 25% of the book. It was definitely different, that’s for sure. I
don’t think I’ve ever read something like that. I’m just still trying to wrap
my head around it. It’s so messed up. I don’t even know what to make of it. I
really want to know what will happen next. Sorry for being so vague, but I
really don’t want to give anything away.
Liam “Takedown” Teague is an under ground MMA fighter. He
grew up rich and now he’s barely making it. His father kicked him out when he
was sixteen years old. He could go back, but he doesn’t want that life. He
doesn’t do relationships. Parts of his past come out throughout the story.
There is still more that needs to be revealed though.
Things start changing for him when he saves, then befriends,
Tria Lynn.
Tria just moved there from a small fishing town in Maine.
She’s there for college. Sorry, but if I give more information about her, it
will have spoilers, so I won’t do that.
I will say I do like both of these characters and I will
read the next to see what will happen next. I have to know! It does end in a
cliffhanger, but there isn’t a long wait for book 2.

This is the second book in the Caged Series. You must read
them in order. This does end in a cliff hanger, but we don’t have to wait long
for book three to come out.
This book starts right where book one ended. And boy was
that messed up. Things are going great for Tria and Liam, for the most part,
once they get back to their home. But things slowly start to go from bad to
worse, then to horrible.
We get glimpses into what happened with Liam a decade ago.
Liam is actually happy for most of the book. You can tell he
loves Tria, even though the words are never spoken.
“I’ve spent a long time not feeling anything because all I
felt was bad…bad. I was only happy when I was fighting, but you…You changed all
of that. For the first time in a decade, I have a reason to be outside the
cage.”
Sorry this is a vague review, but I would hate to give anything
away.
The ending has me wanting to yell at Liam, and slap some
sense into him. I really need book three now!
