The Knights of Echoes Cove #3
Caged Royal
The worst part about betrayal, is it never comes from your enemies.
I should have known better, I should have seen the signs, but now all I'm left with is heartache and disappointment.
They may think they've got the better of me, but I won't go down without a fight. Especially when it comes to the ones I love.
Even if I have to protect them from themselves.
Wading into the depths of darkness, nothing can prepare me for the secrets that bind us.
The truth will either be the answer to our salvation or the beginning of our downfall.

This book started where book 2 ended.
Octavia kidnapped, East was shot and the guys are doing all they can to find her and bring her home.
Even if it means getting some help from people they would never ask otherwise.
It's intense, heart wrenching and has so many twists you didn't see coming.
Many questions we've all had have been answered, but there are new added to the growing pile.
This author sure loves to keep her readers on their toes.
Octavia and her guys are HOT, HOT, HOT. Connection and relationship are evolving and getting stronger. All while things get darker and more sinister.
I feel so bad for Linc and what his father is pushing him to do.
I hurt for all the guys for different reasons. They have so much to prove, all while trying to keep their girl safe and off the radar.
OMG that cliffhanger!!! OMG!!

January 27, 2022"Throwing off the duvet, I climb to my feet and stagger into the bathroom. Switching on the shower and twisting the water to its coldest setting, I jump beneath the cold spray, the icy water pummeling my back as it helps me wake up and clears the fog from my mind. Once I'm shivering I turn the heat up and shower quickly. I don't want to waste any time f***ing around when V is god knows where, with this psychopath that has her. I'm the only psycho she needs in her life" - Mav

The story continues here and this one was filled with lots of twists and turns and suspenseful action. This carries on in the wake of V's abduction by her stalker, who we finally discover the identity of and East's shooting and aftermath. The men are all frantic to retrieve her but it's like she's vanished without a trace and with time ticking away they are only becoming more desperate.
This also dialed up the heat and this third book is the hottest to date. This was chock full of so much delicious passion and dirty talk and I needed a cold shower to cool down.
We have the Georgia storyline causing some friction and jealousy for Octavia and Harrison the current regent and Lincoln's father has some hidden sinister motivations for wanting her removed from the game. Finally, there's a series of final reveals that affect the game currently being played and Octavia is prepared to do what she must to free her men from the Knights's control for good.
Overall I'm enjoying this series a whole lot, it's consistently good and is an easy page-turner and the cliffhanger finish also left me wanting more.

Lily does it again!! This one is definitely my favourite of the series! This book is book 3 in the “the knights of echoes cove” series and we are back with Octavia and her men Lincoln, East, Finley and Maverick dealing with the aftermath octavias stalker first off the identity reveal of the stalker holy shit!!! Was not expecting it!!
Octavia is one of my favourite book heroines her strength is just incredible from book 1 she was dealt a shitty hand in life and it just doesn’t get any easier but she walks through life with her head high, octavia doesn’t just brave the storm she owns it.
The boys well what can I say I just love them, each are such different personalities but all possessive of v, the love they have for her is undeniable! It’s so good watching each boy grow emotionally with V and see their connections with her, Lincoln still comes out on top for me tho he’s the possessive asshole but his love for V runs deep and always!
Sweet Finley I loved seeing his character growth this book and I just know there’s more to come and I can’t wait
This book was action packed, full of suspense and nail biting moments, more secrets, some answers but more questions and let me tell you the spice in this book was insanely good and was in a league of its own !!!
Lily loves to leave you on the edge of your seat, full of questions but she is the absolute queen of cliffhangers…. My god those cliffhangers just get more and more intense and heart wrenching as each book goes on!!! I was an emotional wreck by the end of this book I don’t know how I’m going to wait for book 4 😩😂
I honestly can’t put into words how much i love this series!
So would I recommend it….. a million times yes!!!!!

Lily has managed to go and leave me speechless yet again. I thought the ending of book 2 threw me for a loop but it was nothing compared to the ending of this book. Seriously, this series just keeps getting better and better!
Octavia has been through some serious crap throughout this series but every single time she ends up coming out of it even stronger. Thankfully she has the backing of the guys to help her through whatever she has to deal with.
The guys continue to show how amazing they are. Their love and protectiveness of Octavia has absolutely no bounds in their eyes. I am falling deeper and deeper with them as the series goes on. I’m loving the way that we are slowly getting each of the guys’ stories and seeing sides of them that only Octavia gets to see. They may be all soft and cuddly for Octavia but at the end of the day they will do whatever it takes to keep V safe and happy.
The ending of this book definitely left me staring at my kindle debating on chucking it or curling up in a ball to cry. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait until the release of book 4.

Oh wow, was this book sooo good. I couldn't stop reading it. Lord have mercy. I think I was holding my breath through several of those smexy scenes because holy moley were they on a whole other level.
This is the 3rd book in this series, and it just keeps getting darker and so damn intense especially when it picks up from that cliffy in Bk2 and man talk about a shocker; I did not see that coming from a mile away.
I'm not going to give things away other than if you've been reading this series, you need this book, and if you haven't, well, you need to. That last chapter I was just...Octavia, girl I hope you know what you're doing, because I have a feeling it's only going to get bad real bad.

This book picked up right where book two left off and holy smokes it gets right to it ! The twists and turns I didn’t see coming and that shocking cliffhanger! I loved the character development and the relationship growth with everyone in this one we get more into the boys head and see them support Octavia in a whole new way this story just keeps getting better and better! I can’t wait for the next book already! Buckle up it’s going to get wild !

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!

I’m gonna get this out of the way first and foremost. That “thing” we were all waiting to happen, I know you know what I mean, finally happens and it is HOTTTTTTTTT! The only advice I can give you when you get to that part is to HYDRATE because you will be sweating like a whore in church.
Now on to the nitty-gritty. We continue on the dark and depraved path of this secret society. One that is going to take us in a tragic direction we did not see coming. To say your mind is going to be blown would be a massive understatement. Just when you think you have all the plays and players figured out, Wildhart comes in with her brand of evilness and says, “not so fast darling” and leaves you with your jaw dropped on the floor. There are so many people who want to see them fail, that it is hard to see how V and her men can even make it out of this in one piece. I’m afraid that some won’t or if they do, they will be so irretrievably broken that they may just fade to black. This is a hard situation to maneuver, even for experienced adults, but they are trying everything they can to make sure this doesn’t blowback on the ones they love the most. We are finding out unfortunately that not all they have put their trust in have their best interests at heart and sometimes, you have to reach out to a mutual enemy to get the help you need. I think this one might be the best one yet so I can’t wait to see where she takes us from here. It’s going to be one helluva ride!

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?

1 sitting is all it took to eat up every delicious word of this book. Lily Wildhart never ceases to amaze me in how she sucks you in, chews you up, and then leaves you hanging for more. Every. Single. Time.
Octavia gets answers! Finally! Well... maybe not all the answers but she definitely knows who that creepy stalker was (I was right in my guess!). But wait - now there was someone else pulling the strings??
The Knights have their hands in everyone's business...as usual. But an old agreement may have made things just a little easier for Octavia. Or did it?
I am now head over heels for every single one of Octavia's men... though I think Mav is still my favorite!!!
No matter what way you look at it, this book was 100% the best book I have read in awhile. Every emotion, every twist and turn, and of course the cliffhanger, all make you drooling for more. Can't wait for FOREVER ROYAL!!!!

best book of the series yet!
This book had me twisted around so much, I felt like I was training for a space mission! Poor Octavia, I swear, her life is pure chaos! Between her stalker and the Knights, she can barely catch a breath! The twists come one after another, the danger constantly lurking in the shadows, and confusion from all the mysteries surrounding her past and her potential involvement with the worst part of Echoes Cove.
The steam- whew. These boys are the best kind of bad boys. And Lincoln being the king of them all. 🥵🥵🥵

March 11, 2022absolutely fantastic
I honestly just binged both book 2 & 3 back to back without stopping, this series is absolutely fantastic!
The twists, turns, suspense and drama in this book was beyond perfect. Then add in the hot AF detailed steamy scenes - WOW!
This book is written with such emotion and detail, I honestly hate Edward and Harrison - they are complete wastes of oxygen.
This book had me in tears, screaming ‘NO!’ In part and almost dropping my kindle at the cliff hanger ending.
Counting down for the last book - 25th March can’t come quickly enough!

I'm not crying 😭 you are
Holy freaking cow!!! What a wild emotional ride. Where do I start? They're all going to die 🙄🤷. Let's just say Octavia is going to be Queen regent, the boys aren't going to be happy with her decision but will stick by her and see her through it. Rico and Georgia can both kick rocks, and I'm almost positive that her stalker is Matthew. Enjoy the ride like I have, can't wait to see it all play out in the next one.

After that ending in book 2 I was soooo excited to get book 3. I needed to know what was happening sooooo bad 😱
This story just keeps getting better and better the more books there are. This 1 I think has got to be my fave so far as more things unravel, more secrets come out, more excitement and more violence. The spice is this book has seriously ramped up and it was alsorts of hot 🥵🥵
My love for all the boys has grown even more, I think I love them all equally, all crazy, dominating arseholes, what more do I want 🖤
This is a dark RH bully high school romance with triggers so please read before starting any of the series. It’s a multi POV book and you get seriously into the boys heads a bit more in this story which I loved!
For the ending though I am now going to take myself off to a corner and cry, the cliffhangers in these books rips your heart out. I’ve just got to remember that I will get my answers when book 4 comes out 🖤 until then I’m not going to be able to get over it.
Just incredible 🖤

Well if Lily isn't the Queen of Mindfucks I'm not sure who is!
Those plot twists and mind bombs will have you gripped on the edge of your seat wondering what the hell is going on and how you didn't work it out beforehand 😂
The guys just keep getting better and better, their love for Octavia knows no bounds! We pick up where we left off in book 2 and let me tell you, the guys losing their shit = perfection! Lily wrote it just as we like it!
And V, my girl, what she goes through in this book will have you wanting to throw your kindle and wrap her up in cotton wool all at the same time. But she's not about to let anyone keep her down for long 👑
Another amazing installment from Lily! Can't wait for the next book but I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to these characters 😭

I am 100% sure I have read a book series exactly like this. Not even like it, it is exact. Same situations. Same character identifiers. Same everything. So either it's a rewrite, or it's overly inspired. And when I say overly inspired I mean it feels like it's a direct copy with maybe different names. I hate saying things like that but that's how it feels. I had the same feeling with another author a while back, I believe they were copying the secret circle. So it had the same ideas but there were a couple situations that were different. But with this series everything is exactly the same as the previous book series I read. I mean I like the book. But I liked it the first time too.

I devoured this book in 3 hours, thank goodness my kid went to bed on time because I did not put this book down once it landed on my kindle.
Holy moly, this was such a wild ride! So many emotions, so much angst, and tons and tons of spice. Some questions from the previous books were answered but more have popped up in their place. There is a hook at the end that made me want to throw something, but I’ll enthusiastically and patiently wait for the next book to see what happens. Mav still has my heart and V and Indi are maximum friendship goals, as always.

Omg!! This series is incredible! I mean wow! V has gotten herself into such a bind here in this one. She is gonna need her protectors now more than ever if she is going to survive this one. This was a wild ride and I am so happy with the way each of these relationships have developed. I love them all in different ways and I cannot wait to see what is going to come next.. bring it on.
January 24, 2022
Holy Moly Lily you have done it again!!! The angst, the drama, the twists, turns and pure smut......
I think V and her men are a force to be reckoned with and could not put this book down, do I want to call you names? Of course I do. Am I excited about Forever Royal? Of course I am.
Well done Lily you smashed it!!

With how Lost Royal 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!

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!

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!!!

Octavia and her boys are back and hotter then ever!
We left off in Lost Royal on one heck of a cliffy! Poor East was shot and Octavia got taken by her mystery stalker. We were left wondering just who her stalker could be. I had some theories going into this book on who her stalker was and I was wrong and definitely not expecting who it was! I loved how the beginning of the book literally had you chewing your nails off with mystery. The first few chapters are told mainly from the guys POV's as they are scrambling with the aftermath of the events. There was a couple chapters of Octavia with her stalker, yet his identity wasn't revealed right away, leaving me more on edge. It was brilliant!
In this book, we get to see and find out more information on the Knights, and how they run. There is still so many mysteries behind them and I can't wait to figure out more.
I loved seeing the relationships grow between Octavia and her guys. And let me tell ya, this book's spiciness went to a whole new hot and steamy level! You will definitely be left panting after some of the smexy scenes in this one.
Overall this book was amazing! From beginning until that cliffy ending, I was on the edge of my seat and completely sucked in. Lily continues to prove that she is one heck of an author. I am impatiently waiting for our conclusion in March, and I'm really excited to see what more Lily is going to bring us.

Thank you to the author, Lily Wildhart, for providing a copy of Caged Royal (The Knights of Echoes Cove book 3). I have reviewed honestly.
Caged Royal features, but is not limited to, the following themes:
○ Dark romance
○ New adult
○ Reverse harem
○ Secret Societies
○ Violence
○ High school
○ Triggers
My overall rating for Caged Royal is…
4.5 Stars!
Errmm, Ms Wildhart, these cliffhangers are giving me whiplash! Caged Royal, the third instalment of the The Knights of Echoes Cove series, started and ended with a chilling danger that sent tingles down my spine. Kicking off where we left of in Lost Royal we discover shocking betrayals, the power of friendships, the determination of a man in love and the desires of a human body. This book was suspenseful, sexy and simply exotic. I feel the the romance in this edition kicked up a notch (so hot!) which only made the story more enticing. I've said before how much I love Indi, the sassy, best friend figure, and I'll say it again, because she is just the best! Overall, another incredible chapter to an exciting, sinful and spicy, dark reverse harem series.

Lily is such an exciting addition to the dark contemporary indie author scene and this series is going from strength to strength.
Caged Royal will blow you away, it's filled with darkness and betrayals galore. The power of a name is something you need to remember.
Octavia is pushed to her mental and physical limits in this book beyond what she'd been previously experienced. She is hit hard by betrayals of those she trusted at nearly every turn and left in the dark to ponder about others.
East, Mav, Fin and Lincoln are lost in the darkness following the dramatic ending of the previous book and fight wither everything they have to take control of the narrative. They battle their way into the light only to be hit back with twists and betrayals that push them to breaking point. They each have to battle their demons on a personal level and as a group.
The relationship development between V and her guys will build you up, make you sweat and then rip your heart out and leave you in tears.
This book is dark, twisted and deeply emotional with amazing highs and gut wrenching lows. I can not count down the days soon enough for the conclusion of this amazing series.

I need more!
This is my favorite book of the series. It had everything, secrets, steam, action, and some serious relationship building. I couldn’t get enough!
So this book starts off with a bang. Some much craziness happening right from the start. Seeing how the guys feel about Octavia and doing everything they could to save her was amazing. I can’t believe these are the same guys from book 1. Their love and care for V is overwhelming. Octavia continues to show us how strong she is. Even with everything life is throwing at her she stands tall and doesn’t let the fire in her die. Octavia and Indi’s friendship continues to be the best. I just love their devotion to each other.
So many secrets came to light in this book, but we also get more questions. We also get some drama which I am always here for. I despise Harrison and Edward so much. I want to see them suffer so bad and I hope it’s extra painful. I’m interested in learning about the new characters Luc, Chase, and Alexander. That cliffhanger was just cruel. I feel like we have been hurt enough. I’m excited to see what happens and how it will all end.

Audio Review:
Y’all I am not okay. I had so much anxiety reading this book that I had to continuously put it down to take breaks. The ending…okay, honestly it was not as bad as the last book, but worse than the first one. I feel like I just need to become accustomed to Lily basically causing my heart to stop with the cliffhanger endings for her books.
We get answers to a lot of questions, and I think all of the questions I had at the end of the last book were answered in this one. So there is that. And we get even more character growth in this book not to mention seeing the other, softer side to the guys.
Honestly I don’t even know what else to say. I just need more answers. I need resolution to a lot of things. And I just need these poor characters to have an HEA.
And can we talk about the audio for a minute? It was soooo good! Multi-cast and duet narration audiobooks are my favorite and that’s just what we get with this one. Heather Firth, Michael Joss, David Black, Gideon Frost, and Gregory Salinas knocked it out of the park with their narrations and I’m looking forward to listening to the last book with them as the narrators.

hooked.
I’ve been hooked into this series from the start. Tormented Royal was exactly what I was looking for in the start a series. Then we got Lost Royal and I loved that the secrets started unfolding, the guys were really giving in and then, cliffhanger.
So I’ve been ready for Caged Royal since then. READY.

Caged Royal (The Knights of Echoes Cove), Lily Wildhart

I thought I was going to slowly lose my mind as we waited to find out who kidnapped Octavia in Lost. And I nearly did. And then the reveal came and I was furious for her. It wasn’t who I expected and I was so grateful for that lol. I really didn’t want to hate that person.
Favorite guy atm: Finley
Favorite relationship atm: V and Indi, of course. Ride or Die
I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for answers and then BAM, new info and I lost my damn mind. Then BAM, cliffhanger and I nearly cried.
If you need me, I’ll be sulking until March while I wait for a conclusion that I think is going to rock my world.
