I LOVE this book! And I will definitely be rereading it!
It’s about a girl named cate who sells her soul to a very evil man to buy her brother’s freedom. Her brother is the only family she has. She becomes trapped in his world and meets some very interesting people along the way. There’s magic, romance, and a little spice. Definitely a slow burn.

I loved this book! I can wait for more to come out because that ending!!! I had some predictions about how the book would turn out and I’m not disappointed! I haven’t read the filthy rich vampires series yet but if this is any indication of the authors storytelling I’m ready to dive into those! Thank you NetGalley and the Entangled Insiders party for introducing me to this author and book!

Wow. Cate and Lach (okay, especially Lach) had me in their thralls from the very first page to the very last. It won't take any of Lach's "sexy magic" to keep readers engrossed in the fae lore, court politics, and intense chemistry that Geneva Lee brings to the first book in the Filthy Rich Fae series.

Having loved Lee's first paranormal series, I had high hopes for Filthy Rich Fae and it did not disappoint. There was drama, secrets, spice, and so many intriguing characters. I loved Cate as a main character. I found her to be relatable and easily understood; with every decision she made, especially in terms of her brother, it was easy to understand where she was coming from. Even when dealing with fantasy or paranormal creatures like fae, I still love to see a relatable human character and Cate had that in spades.

And Lachlan? He was basically written as a combination of so many of our book boyfriends. Gorgeous, powerful, protective, tattooed, rich... he was this perfect package of alpha bad boy, and I ate him up. His story arc gave me so much to love, and everything he did during the story for the people he loves just made him that much better.

Lee made her fae world so rich in characters. I loved having the story focus on Lach and Cate, but I could easily read spin-off stories written about any number of secondary characters. Lee didn't get relegate everyone to the background; she gave everyone personality and purpose, and it really fleshed out the reading experience.

If you've read Filthy Rich Vampires, then you know exactly what kind of ending Lee likes to give the first book in a series. Yes, you will devour Filthy Rich Fae, especially the last 20%, but you will also immediately need the next book because everything that happens at the end of this book is... a lot. I was left bereft knowing it will be a while before I can find out what happens next for Cate and Lach. If you love fae romances, or loved Lee's previous series, you won't want to miss Filthy Rich Fae.

A young women sacrifices her life for her brothers, subjecting herself to dark world of Filthy Rich Fae. Cate belongs to Lachlan Gage, a ruthless leader of New Orleans elite fae. This novel hooked me from the first page, building to an epic conclusion. Needless to say, I need the next installment after this novels cliffhanger.

This book was nearly perfect. The chemistry and banter was SO good. The world building was mediocre but that did not stop me from loving it! I can't wait for book 2!!

This is my first Geneva Lee title, and I can say she is now an auto-buy author for me.
While I had my suspicions of some foreshadowing I was not expecting what was brought! Cate is so firey and can take care of herself, Lach is a protector “No one touches you, human,fae,or any other creature without your permission.” “So enjoy yourself, because if you say no, it will be respected, or I will personally remove the offending part from the bastard’s body and choke him to death with it”


The cliff that I am literally hanging off of at the end of this book, ummm I am going to need book 2 PRONTO.

YALL!!!!!!!! This was my first book by Geneva Lee and when I say I'm going to read her ENTIRE catalogue 🤩🤩🤩

The book starts out on a strong note that catches your attention and then doesn't let it go. Cate is a likable FMC who mostly makes decisions that feel and are portrayed reasonably, even in unreasonable situations. There was never a point where I was like wtf no one would actually do that. Her banter and development alongside Lach was *chef's kiss* and Lach QUICKLY rose to my top tier of book boyfriends. I love him and can't wait to get more of his POV in future books (PLEASE). The story and world building have enough intrigue that you can make some educated guesses (I was always wrong) but still not predict the plot which I really appreciated.

Ugh, I have too many good things to say about this book. Please just buy it. It will make your life better.

Thank you Entangled & Netgalley for the eARC. Love you lots, mean it. ❤️

Thank you Entangled Publishing for this ARC

Modern Urban Fantasy with mafia vibes. The tension was real! The interruptions had me wanting to throw my kindle hahahah.

Lachlan was everything you want in a MMC. Consent is everything. The FMC was both strong and annoying at times but she was in the dark about a lot of what was going on. I had my suspicions about a particular item and I was correct. There were two things that took me by surprise in the end. No spoilers. Will definitely want to read next one.

I. HAD. SO. MUCH. FUN.

This book was FANTASTIC and I ate it up.
It really did give acotar but in different font and I’m NOT saying that I’m a negative way. Filthy Rich Fae still had its own story and own vibe!

The writing was fast paced but done well enough to not leave any gaps. So basically a fast paced slow burn LOL.

There was absolutely no time wasted jumping into the plot and it was so refreshing, the world building was perfect and it was so simple and easy to imagine where they were. OH DID I MENTION THEY LIVE IN NOLA?!?

I adored the FMC Cate and her stubbornness, her stiffness, her emotional wall. I resonated with her a lot actually and understood her from the first chapter. Now Lachlan? I KNEW the moment he was introduced that I was in love with him. He gave broody, mysterious, cocky and INFURIATING. All the things we all love in a dark haired fae daddy right?!?

I also very much enjoyed the found family aspect of the book. It’s one of my favorite tropes.
So it wasnt difficult for me to fall in love with Roark, Ciera and Shaw.

Overall I enjoyed every second of this book and read it very very fast. It was way too good to put it down. There was enough foreshadowing for me to be super excited for a second book announcement so I’ll be watching Genevas instagram like a hawk.

I can’t wait to see how Cate and Lachlans story continues.

Thank you to Geneva Lee and Entangled Publishing for my review copy of Filthy Rich Fae. This was so fun, you all are the best!

Thank you Entangled Publishing, Brittany Zimmerman and NetGalley for this E-Arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was an absolute pleasant surprise! This is not my first introduction to Geneva Lee, I had previously started her Filthy Rich Vampires series and am pleased to say this has run along the same lines with pacing, leaning in to a more slow burn for the couple. I am a big fan of a micro trope of the human being pulled into the Fae world and this hit it right on the dot. Geneva continues to marry excellent banter and sexual tension while bringing us into an urban fantasy world. The plot of this book I feel is an introduction to the series as a whole, it very much felt like the starting point to a much bigger world, where the pace really picks up in the last quarter of the book.

Cate is very much a survivor of a character. She's strong, resilient and has grown a lot from her backstory. Lach is a good compliment for her, they both have lived through hard times and come with some rough edges that were interesting to watch how they work through them. Even the supporting characters really were much more complex and had me wanting to know more of their stories.

Over all this was a really intriguing first book and I am excited to see where we go after that huge cliffhanger in the sequel! The plot will only thicken with all the groundwork Geneva laid out.

We start by meeting Cate. She’s an ER nurse in New Orleans and her shift takes a turn for the worst when the EMTs say they have a GSW(pew pew wound) and it happens to be her brother gets rolled in. After finding out her brother has been involved in some nefarious acts with the powerful crime family the Gage’s. Cate goes against everything she’s been taught about staying away from the Gage family to beg for her brother’s life.

Once she gets there she makes a bargain of a lifetime and quickly wonders if there is more than what meets the eye when it comes to Lachlan Gage.

Unsure of his motives Cate has to decide between her humanity; she is a nurse after all, or allowing herself to get swept away in the glamor that it the Otherworld of the Fae.

This. Book. Filthy Rich Fae(FRF) had me up at midnight asking my what did I just read? in a good way. But also I’m ready to fight some fae!!

I really enjoyed this book overall. Geneva Lee’s ability to make you fall in love with her characters is perfection. There is a little bit of a slow start and Cate did get on my nerves a little bit in the beginning but she finally gets it together. As a Filthy Rich Vampires(FRV) fan I do wish that there was the alternating POV between the two main characters HOWEVER! The crossover of characters between FRV and FRF has me curious if there will be any other cameos. And in true Geneva Lee fashion the cliffhanger?! This is why I’m ready to fight book characters. Can we say red herring?! I was NOT ready. Sign me up for book two.

This book was such a wild ride! The world building is the perfect amount, the pacing was just right, the MMC is “chef’s kiss”, and the BANTER. I need book two immediately.

Thank you to entangled insiders for the ARC for the read along!

This was Such a riveting journey. Very creative blended troupes/themes here = Fae, Mafia, Forced proximity, Takes place in the City of Sin of the South (New Orleans) so you just know there are going to be bad guys and the wierd, crazies ! Does not disappoint, HOT Fae guys of the Dark Court, alphahole who has a soft side. The tension of Cate / Lach who keep trying to deny the chemistry. Of course there are the other Fae bad guys. There is enough sass from Cate that keeps you laughing and boy can she get into trouble. This is a great journey on past trauma healing, finding your worth, fighting with the hottie, fae parties with endless bargaining ...... and its NOT over - it continues with a whopper of a cliffhanger .... so who is the bad fae group ??? I THINK THEY ARE ALL ROTTEN ! Tried to stay with the week long read-a-long but after 8 chapters it was full speed ahead and finished the whole book the NEXT day. Now I am off to read her other series. Perfect balance of new series world building, adventures/excitement, intimate conversation & relationship building, steamy angst and FINALLY the burning HOT scenes.

This was the first book I’ve read by Geneva Lee and I can guarantee you it won’t be the last! I loved this story! I love fae and this book did such a great job of bringing them into a “real world” setting! Cate is a very relatable down to earth character, she doesn’t have all of the answers and makes mistakes along the way. I love the back and forth between her and Lach. The ‘will they, won’t they’ kept me very invested. I also really liked the dynamics of the Gage family. Overall, loved it and can’t wait for the next one!

Cate is an overworked nurse at a local hospital in New Orleans. One night, her brother is wheeled in after affiliating with a notorious family run by Lachlan Gage, who owns the city's underworld crime scene. She knows her brother is caught up with the wrong people, and it can only end with his death, so she goes to Gage to beg for his life. He makes a bargain with her for her soul, and she is thrown into his Fae Otherworld that she never knew existed. Feeling tricked, she begins to devise a plan for escape and how to break the bargain, trying to navigate her place in the Nether Court, and stay away from danger while the other Fae courts are being hosted there for a celebration.

This is a slowburn, enemies-to-lovers, touch her and die fantasy romance. It is mostly told from Cate's point of view, but you get a little part at the end from Lach's point of view. Speaking of ending, the action leading up to the cliff-hanger has many twists, will keep you guessing, and while giving you some closure with lingering questions from the current plot, leaves it open for a book two in the series. The plot flowed very easily and had me doing the old "one more chapter" routine! I'm looking forward to continuing this story when the next book comes out!
