Publisher's summary

I’ll lock her in a gilded cage and throw away the key. The night we met, she thought she was tasting freedom. I devoured her once and left before I even knew her name. Four months later, Bratva business leads me to the house of my enemy with one objective: Burn it down and kill everyone inside. That’s exactly what I plan to do....

Until I find her cowering before me. The innocent girl from the club. My beautiful caged bird. I’m not here to save her - I’m here to ruin her. But something stops me in my tracks. Something I never expected. Did she say that’s my baby in her womb?

Gilded Cage is the first book in the Kovalyov Bratva duet. Artem and Esme’s story will conclude in book two, Gilded Tears.

Wonderful

This is a really well written and exciting mafia romance! I found both of the main characters very likable and strong. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

I keep reading and hoping

I like Nicole Fox’s stories but I can NOT stand the FMC in any of them that I have read. They are all stupid acting and childish while making some of THE dumbest decisions. This one was no different.

Love!

Very good read! Had some ups and downs but kept me coming back so definitely going to listen to book 2 especially since this one ends on such a dramatic cliff hanger!

Strength

Wow great book! The narration was so well done!! I can’t wait for the next book! I highly recommend this series!!

Gilded Cage

This was a great book but Esme was so annoying and did some really dumb things. I could not stand her. Maybe she will be better in the next book. Love Artem. He was great, especially dealing with Esme. At times, she acted very immature. Artem's friend Cillian was great! On the downside, although very good, it felt like this book went on forever. I feel it could have been much shorter than 15+ hours. Alan Carlson and Allyson Voller did a great job with the narration.

guilted

great action, non stop, good story line. great romance. hope to see Killian story someday.

Loved it!

This is a great book
book. Characters are well written . Romance is great but also complicated. Well worth reading the next sequel! D.

First time reading from Author Nicole Fox

I absolutely love the journey I just went on with this one. It held my interest from start to finish and the ratio of suspense, romance, steam and character development was on point. The narrators hit it out of the park and brought everything together as well. I'll be looking for more books by them. Can't wait to start the ne t book!

So much to love about this book!

There was so much about this book that I loved! The darkness, the forced marriage, the mafia and secret baby tropes. And I really loved that she kept the pregnancy a secret for a lot of the book, even while they were together. I did this one by audio, and it was great hearing the new to me narrators. Though, the guy doing the narration was clearly Canadian, and it made me giggle to hear his accent come through when the male character was Russian-American and the female character was Mexican-living-in-America. Anyway, it didn't deter from the enjoyment of the book, and I am excited to jump into book 2. I'm not sure why it wasn't 5 stars, but I just never got that tingle in my belly telling me it was warranted.

inconvenience

why is this Esme soo annoying and quite stupid. from obedient daughter that can't even speak up even a tad to fire in the eyes!?! like really, she's fighting him let me go let me go..
her dad almost married her to someone old fart doubtful she would fight that but hot Russian mob... she doesn't want the life and running to streets but yet dreamed about them. Artem if he would be a tru don would put her on her place pretty quickly. to many inconsistency of she she random run away from him really... eye roll... however Alan Carlsson my new fave
