Caged In Winter by Brighton Walsh Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
Aspiring chef Cade Maxwell is immediately, viscerally attracted to Winter Jacobson. But it’s not her mouthwatering curves he’s drawn to—it’s the strange emptiness in her eyes. When Cade saves her from a drunken customer with grabby hands, he’s shocked at her response
…
Winter doesn’t need Cade’s help. After a lifetime of getting by on her own, she’s happy to rely on herself. She’s exactly seventy-six days away from graduating college, and if she can hold it together that long, she’ll finally be able to rise above the crappy hand she was dealt.
But now, every time she turns around, Cade is there, ready to push her, smile at her, distract her from her plans. Winter knows she can’t afford to open up—especially to a man she’s terrified to actually want

Review
‘I can’t get enough of her, this complicated girl who fell into my life. I want to know everything about her. Her quirks and her fears and her hopes and dreams, the tiny things that make her her.’
Caged In Winter is the story of a closed off girl and the man who finally brings her to her knees. Let’s start by saying I adored Cade. He was all things yummy. Determined, protective, a loving family oriented man who puts everything that is important to him aside in order to win over the girl he knows is his. What is not to love here. Now, Winter was a harder sale for me personally. Her issues run so deep that she is constantly pushing him away and can’t see the good right in front of her. But the moments she gives in they are truly beautiful together.
‘His attention makes me nervous. Nervous and unsure and . . . weightless. Feeling this way is addictive. He’s addictive.’
Winter is the epitome of a self sufficient woman, determined to do everything on her own without anyone’s help. Cade takes care of those he loves, after his parents died he stepped up in living with and supporting his sister and her daughter. The vast differences between these two make them both drawn to each other as well as push the other away at times. Their story is not simple or easy but it is definitely one worth reading!
