The Cage Family series by Carrie Ann Ryan follows members of a single family as they each find love. The series launched with Before I Knew in 2024 and is planned to run through at least seven books, with the latest installment, Wish it Were You, scheduled for 2027. Each book focuses on a different member of the Cage family while earlier couples make return appearances.
Ryan is well known for writing family-centered romance series, and The Cage Family fits that pattern. The books are contemporary romance without the paranormal elements found in some of her other work. The titles suggest themes of second chances, unexpected connections, and the pull between wanting something and being afraid to reach for it.
