What an incredible, pulse pounding and sinfully sexy installment of this gripping series!
These books keep getting better and better. This is by far my favorite in the series because Lily ramps up that intensity tenfold. In Caged Royal the heat is building up and the stakes are all so much higher. This is life and death now for our favorite gang.
Octavia proves stronger than ever. Finn, Mav, East and Lincoln are all at peak perfection. The lengths these guys go to do right by their beloved V was heart-stopping. And in turn, she makes incredible sacrifices for them. The beauty of that all consuming love and devotion was at an all time high.
I could not recommend this series more!

Caged Royal continues Octavia’s story from where we left off in the previous installment. Navigating the muddy waters that are her school, the guys, and the business with the Knights, our girl just can’t seem to catch a break.
Her stalker is revealed. It could be who you were expecting, let me know if you were right. For the first quarter of the book, V is locked away by her stalker while the guys use every resource at their disposal to find her, uncovering secrets in the process. I gotta say, I didn’t see one of them coming, but I can’t say that I’m surprised. It’s a perfect twist and completely plausible.
We see more of Indi and her guys in this book, which I’m happy about. Everyone needs and Indi in their life. We need her story after the craziness of V’s!
The cliffhanger at the end will leave you wishing you could pick up the next book right away. What do you think really happened?

When I finish each book I keep thinking that there's no way it can be beaten....and each time I'm proven wrong by the very next book...!
This was another amazing read! More action. More dirt. More secrets. More truths. More steam! Just MORE!
It starts exactly where Lost Royal left off and finally its revealed to who was stalking V. The entire scene had my heart in my throat. I felt so much for V - betrayed, hurt, angry, confused, - she's questioning so much that happened and if they were who she thought they were. And the guys were losing their minds trying to find her and worried about East after he was shot.
Lincoln gives V emotional whiplash. But is he lying to her? Is he trying to protect her? Or is he avoiding everything? Having his cake and eating it? Or just being his ingrained cold and ruthless self? When none of the guys can give her an answer as they've not seen or spoke to him for over two weeks.....it confuses V more...
The steam level in this was off the charts! The scenes were much more detailed and longer....and ....oh yeah included all five of them enjoying themselves at the same time.....scorching!!!
Omg. I swear ms Wildhart is trying to bump us off with these cliffhangers...this one is doubly cruel - coming just after what we think is good news - harsh!
But I cannot wait for the next book! I'd got it in mind it was a trilogy but luckily it's not. But it's not dragging or areas of skim reading. There's valuable moments on each page!
This is a series that has to be read! It's my first step into Ms wildharts world of writing but I'm def going to be looking at others!!!

With how [b:Lost Royal|58948707|Lost Royal (The Knights of Echoes Cove, #2)|Lily Wildhart|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1634583719l/58948707._SY75_.jpg|92904101] ended, I was excited to see where Caged Royal was going to take us!
Octavia goes through a lot in this book and she proves that she’s a survivor. She’s finally opening herself up to learn more about the world she’s become tangled up in since coming back to Echoes Cove. But she fell into the same trap too many other heroines fall into - lack of communication (one of my biggest pet peeves). She doesn’t tell anyone about her hesitations with Matthew even though that feels like really important information and she doesn’t give Lincoln a chance to talk with her about things with Georgia, just jumps to the worst possible conclusion. Every time her character takes a few steps forward for me, she does something that takes her back again.
Lincoln, Maverick and Finley are all in on their relationship with V. They’re more open, attentive and caring than they have been in the past two books but you know they’re still keeping parts of themselves hidden from her. I felt really bad for Easton in this book - he’s around, but not really involved in a lot of the activities because of his injury. V occasionally makes him feel included, but I still felt like he was the odd man out.
I enjoyed seeing V’s relationship with the guys progress and them finally start being honest with each other about things with the Knights even though there’s a lot more they’re keeping to themselves. There’s a lot of things happening and I’m curious to see where the five of them end up, how they take on the Knights together and how they deal with Georgia and Harrison.
I’m still questioning the addition of Uncle Lucas (Luc) to the story - when Lincoln originally calls him, I thought he was going to play a much bigger role, but after the hospital, he basically disappears. I’m hoping maybe he’ll become important again in the fourth book? I kind of felt the same with Chase Armstrong - there’s so much potential there and we didn’t get much from him yet.
Caged Royal ends on maybe the worst cliffhanger of the series…I mean how could you leave us hanging like that with Mav?! Can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!

holy crap
Wow. I hardly have words for this book!
If you’re reading this review, I’m guessing you’ve read books 1 and 2. DON’T STOP THERE! So much is revealed in this book. But now I have to read book 4 to find out how it ends.
Wildhart is a master and I am a slave to her writing. I don’t know how she weaves such a tale of deception with so many twists and turns and all the emotions. I’m not normally a fan of RH but the way she’s written these characters, I can’t help but want more!

This book was EVERYTHING!! After the ending of book 2, I’ve been impatiently waiting for Caged Royal to release and it did not disappoint. While there was a few really tough scenes to read, I think this is Lily’s best work yet. We finally figure out the main person stalking Octavia and it’s really hard to read these scenes from the boys POV. While the conflict isn’t resolved this book and there are more webs of issues to pick through, I really enjoyed how the story is unfolding. Maverick is still my favorite (sorry East, Lincoln and Finn) but those group
