‘Wings’ is the first book in Fawn Bailey’s ‘Gilded Cage’ series and, let me tell you, it’s incredible! I can totally lose myself in a dark romance when it’s done correctly and this one sucked me in with all the delicious scenes and had me gasping in places with complete shock. I was spellbound, to say the least. There was no being an innocent bystander during the entire thing because Fawn Bailey did her job so well I had a plethora of emotions running through me the entire time. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I really thought that this was going to be a darker story, but it was very light on the whole kidnapper/captive/BDSM/sex scenes. The author almost glosses over the the training/breaking of Ophelia (dolly). It leaves the reader with a very one-dimensional view of the character’s growth through this very important part of the plot development. It’s hard to see her are a “slave” or how she can love her captor when done years of captivity was blown through in the turn of a page. I don’t know where this story is going from here, so I’m unsure what more the characters can give to help to endure them to me at this point, which is sad because I did want to like this book more
I’ve been wanting for this book for a while now and once I had my claws on it I devour it in no time. Jeez… Fawn Bailey is a pen name for the amazing Isabella Starling so you can guess what’s going to happen. Between a forbidden romance to a dark story she’s the master and her books just came to reinforce my theory.
Wings is her latest release and tells the stories of Ophelia, Kain, Max and Ryder.
But there is one thing I need to tell you first. Grab Feather first. Doing so you will understand this series better.
As you know, Ophelia was kidnapped and hold hostage by the enigmatic Kain. She can’t deal with the lost not only of her patents but also of her freedom. How can someone be so cruel? How can she overcome this? Will she submit to one of the brothers or stay with the bad guy?
And I’m done talking. I can’t say more without spoil so I’m going to shut it down.
Like I suspected this story just stole my heart. The darkness surrounding the plot almost drove me crazy but I loved every page.
Fantastic plot, very well written, super dark, intense and so much more. Each chapter have us the ugly truth behind each action and made us realize that karma will get you. No matter how you try to hide your past because when the opportunity arose it will get you.
Crime, vengeance, betrayal are very present as well as love, loyalty and so much more…
Is it weird to become aroused with the forbidden? Does that make you a weirdo?
I’m so happy to have book 3 ready because I wouldn’t be able to wait for it.
Fawn this book will be my undoing… Seriously… You’re trying to kill me…
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is the first book in the Gilded Cage trilogy and it has already started us down a dark, intense, and twisted path. The story is beautifully written, deeply developed and complex. As we are introduced to the main players of this drama, we quickly become ensnared in a world full of darkness an violence. Ophelia, Kain, Ryker and Max are all complicated characters and as we begin to peel back their layers to try to find insight and answers we are left stunned and hungry for so much more. With plenty of steam, drama, and raw emotions this mafia romance earns everyone of its five star rating. I think you would benefit from reading Feather (the prequel) first. It will give you a nice taste of the backstory and set you up perfectly for reading this book. I can not wait for the next book!
Wings is a dark twisted amazing read full of mystery, action, a great story and twists that surprised me. The Prequel had me anxiously waiting for this book and it was well worth the wait. What an ending!! A definite 5-star must read and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
