An over-the-top psychological thriller that tells the story of the scorned wife of a billionaire and her delicious plot to get revenge and bring him to his knees—a "sexy, deliciously dark journey" (Los Angeles Times) from a global superstar.Faye has loved Jack since they were students at business school. Jack, the perpetual golden boy, grew up wealthy, unlike Faye, who has worked hard to bury a dark past. When Jack needed help launching a new company, Faye left school to support him, waitressing by day and working as his strategist by night. When the business took off, Faye stayed home and cared for their daughter. Now, she is wealthier than she ever imagined, but more and more removed from the excitement of the business world. And none of the perks of wealth make up for the fact that Jack has begun to treat her coldly. When Faye discovers that he's having an affair, the polished façade of their life cracks wide open. Faye is alone, emotionally shattered, and financially devastated—but hell hath no fury like a woman with a violent past bent on vengeance. Jack is about to get exactly what he deserves—and so much more. In this splashy, electrifying story of sex, betrayal, and secrets, a woman's revenge is a brutal but beautiful thing.

"A little racier than I usually like. The book itself was twisty and had a surprise ending."

"i feel like this def play into “women only get revenge on men who do them wrong by doing better to theirselves and not just for them” saying"

"Faye was a very difficult character, and while there is a good twist, the pace was very uneven and some plot points seemed to come from no where."

"My Review: What do I love in a book you ask? Secrets? Yes! Suspense? Yes! All the mystery? YEEES! The Golden Cage promises.. AND delivers all that a good Suspense Thriller is made of. <br/><br/>It may seem to the world that wealth equals happiness. It’s a much too common misconception, because time and time again we see not only in stories of fiction, but also in reality that money is NOT everything.<br/><br/>Faye meets Jack in college, they marry, and while she works full time she also helps Jack start up a business, which becomes.. well.. Successful, and by successful, I mean all the money, that life could never bring lol.<br/><br/>So what happens then? After they have a baby, Jack encourages Faye to be a stay at home mom, and focus on the baby. It seems like a good situation right? Well, not so fast.. What happens when Jack begins to spend a little more time at work every day? What is he hiding? Nothing good can come out of spending more time away from home than actually at home.. Right?<br/><br/>No spoilers here but this is when Faye catches him in the act of ultimate betrayal! Sorry friends, but it only gets worse, and the details are freaking juicy! This book is what reality shows wish they were made of. <br/><br/>My Verdict: I couldn’t get enough of the drama. Imagine going into full on revenge mode to protect you and what you most love. This title is a MUST for your Summer Beach Reads, Binge Reads, Worthy Suspense Reads, and all the readings lists related. I definitely, definitely recommend it! <br/>Happy Reading! ♡ Ellie<br/>Go to ElliesInfiniteBooks.com for more reviews!"
