Filthy Wealthy Fae by Geneva Lee
What’s It About?
If Cate Holloway can’t break a sinister discount with a deadly fae prince earlier than her time is up, she’ll be certain to him and his lethal world… without end.
Geneva Lee’s dive into romantasy along with her first in collection, Filthy Wealthy Fae, was extra like a joyous hop. After writing guide boyfriend Julian Rousseaux within the Filthy Wealthy Vampire collection, readers gained’t should enterprise far or metal themselves for what some within the subgenre name “fairy smut”. Actually, it’s a enjoyable journey from the vampire world to the fairy land that Lee’s created.
Is it simply me? Once I consider fairies, the primary picture that involves thoughts is an infinitesimally small humanoid with wings, à la Tinker Bell. Lachlan Gage is certainly no little girl with wings. Actually, he could be a very scary dude at occasions. However principally he’s only a devious, supernaturally good-looking, huge dark-haired man. However then once more, as a fae prince, he can throw a glamour and mesmerize the heck out of somebody. Even when he’s a mob boss of kinds. He’s what writer Geneva Lee has termed a “cinnamon roll alpha” (one thing she explains on the newest episode of Nerdy Romantics Podcast).
However as luscious as Lachlan Gage is, that is the heroine Cate Holloway’s guide. She’s a nurse in a serious New Orleans hospital — one with the Gage identify on a wing. When she sees her brother are available one night time with a “pleasant fireplace” gunshot wound, she is aware of he’s fallen in with a gang. A gang headed by Lachlan Gage. She angrily stomps out of the hospital and heads to a resort that’s Gage’s supposed headquarters to one way or the other beg her brother out of this gang.
As an alternative, she’s tricked by Lachlan Gage himself into making a discount — her life for her brother’s. Now she’s certain to this tall good-looking, chief of New Orleans’ underworld. Effectively, she did eat fae meals. (By no means eat fae meals!) However to be truthful — scratch that — a discount with a fae, particularly a fae prince, is rarely truthful.
Sizzling and Heavy … and Harmful
If you happen to’ve learn a Geneva Lee guide, you already know will probably be sizzling and heavy. The fae (like Lee’s vamps) love their events, their fashions, their jewels, and their orgies. Whereas Lachlan is slow-burning over Cate, everybody else is doing every little thing else with one another. For readers who love steam, you’ll get an ample dose of it right here. And in the event you love a extremely HOT-burning slow-burn romance, Cate and Lachlan is not going to disappoint.
Together with the warmth are the set off and content material warnings. This isn’t a contented mild fairyland. These fae are violent, separating physique elements from our bodies and marking individuals for demise. Additionally, Cate is an orphan (her brother is a foster brother) who has suffered not solely household trauma however sexual abuse trauma. If you’re delicate to any of those points, be sure you evaluation the set off warnings the writer has included.
Drama in Enchanting Fantasy Setting
If you happen to thought that Julian and his vampire household had been a handful, wait till you meet Lachlan’s sisters, and the opposite ruling fae households. I got here for the romance between Cate and Lachlan, however what’s going to preserve me via this collection are the household dynamics, the betrayals between the courts, and like I stated earlier, the events. Not only for the decadence, however to see how fae work together with one another. Whereas there are alliances, there are additionally animosities between households. The hatred is not only between current members as we speak, however Ms. Lee hints that it’s one thing that’s been there for a protracted whereas. Like generations lengthy.
An added character to Filthy Wealthy Fae is the flowery Otherworld the place Lachlan and his crew reside. It’s filled with mazes, elaborate floral and fauna, and priceless embellishment. Even the resort that hides the doorway to the Otherworld realm feels prefer it’s dipped in gold and holds an countless labyrinth of rooms and corridors. It’s no shock that this fae palace and the doorway to the Otherworld that the palace hides are in New Orleans. Magic and intrigue are synonymous with the southern metropolis. Ms. Lee offers New Orleans character standing simply as Candace Bushnell did for New York in Intercourse and the Metropolis.
This primary entry into romantasy/city fantasy for Geneva Lee is an exhilarating, fiery one. Who knew fairy smut may very well be so entertaining?
