⭐ Filthy Rich Fae – Book Review

📚 Book Details


💭 The Quick Take

Dark, addictive fae romance with elite-level tension, dangerous power dynamics, and a slow burn that will have you pacing your room. Once it hooks you… you’re done for.


🌙 Story Snapshot (Spoiler-Free)

When Cate is pulled into a world she never should have touched, she finds herself tangled in the dangerous, intoxicating orbit of Lachlan — a powerful fae prince with secrets, control, and a presence that feels like both a threat and a promise.

What starts as survival quickly turns into something far more complicated… and far more consuming.

This is a world of wealth, danger, and fae politics where nothing is what it seems — and falling might cost everything.


💖 My Reading Experience

✨ LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

This book had me completely hooked once it found its rhythm — and when it did? Oh, it ran.

There’s a richness to the world-building that feels indulgent without being overwhelming. You’re not just told about the fae world — you’re dropped into it, surrounded by power plays, luxury, and underlying danger.

And the tension between Cate and Lach?
It doesn’t just simmer… it tightens. Scene by scene. Interaction by interaction.

You can feel it building.


🔥 The Slow Burn

The slow burn attraction?
Ugh. Perfection.

Geneva Lee knows exactly how to tease that tension — stretching it just enough to keep you desperate for more without ever losing momentum.

It’s the kind of slow burn where every glance feels loaded, every conversation feels like a chess match, and you’re basically screaming:
👉 JUST KISS ALREADY.


🖤 Cate & Lach

Cate is such a strong, grounded heroine — you feel her fear, her grief, but also her resilience. She doesn’t just exist in the story… she pushes against it.

And Lach…
Oh, Lachlan.

He’s intense, controlled, dangerous — the kind of character who says very little but means everything. Every scene he’s in feels heavier, sharper, more charged.


😭 Minor Disappointment

My only tiny complaint?

We only get one single chapter from Lach’s POV — right at the end.

And honestly… rude.

Because his inner voice? His perspective?
I needed more. A lot more.


😱 That Ending Though

That twist.
That cliffhanger.

Absolutely brutal.

In the best way possible, but still… emotionally offensive 😂

You will finish this book and immediately need the next one. There is no “I’ll take a break” option here.


📖 Final Verdict on the Story

Safe to say I will be immediately continuing this series.

This is the kind of addictive fae romance that sinks its claws in and refuses to let go.Just go in knowing you’ll need a bit of patience before the payoff.

🖤 Final Thoughts + Come Chat

This book felt like stepping into something dangerous, beautiful, and completely consuming.

It’s not just a romance — it’s a pull. A slow, tightening grip that doesn’t let go even after the final page.

And honestly?
I’m already emotionally preparing to be wrecked by book two.

Have you read Filthy Rich Fae yet?
Are you team “love the slow burn” or “please just kiss already”?

And most importantly…
how did you emotionally recover from that ending?! 😭
