The 3rd and final book in the Songbird Trilogy by Lisa Edward is now LIVE!!!
My name is Tara O’Connell, and I’ve always believed we control our own fate. That life is a journey with many roads, and the choices we make can shape our future.
Life has presented me with two paths and I’ve chosen one.
Was it right? Did I make the best decision?
After the uncertainty of the last twelve months, my destiny is now crystal-clear to me. I have a man I love more than words can express, a thriving business, and the best friends anyone could ask for. But just when I thought I could put the turmoil of my past behind me and move on, a life-changing phone call has rocked me to the core and turned my life upside-down once more.
To make matters worse, influences outside my control have taken hold and are shattering my perfect world.
But some things are worth fighting for.
Dreams can come true and I’ll do everything in my power to make them happen. But dreams can also be smashed into tiny pieces, and no matter how hard we fight or how hard we wish for something to be, sometimes with the hand we’ve been dealt, we can never win.

"If you love someone, set her free. If she comes back she is yours. If she doesn't, fight like hell for her"
This has been one of my most anticipated reads and it
completely fulfilled my expectations. I
went into this knowing that I was going to be battered about the head and heart
a bit, I was right!
When I finished reading Songbird Caged I could not stop
thinking about it, it stayed with me for so long and I was really worried about
what was going to happen after the way it ended, with everything up in the
air. I know what I wanted to happen to
the characters but it was up to the author to decide, not me :)
Tara is finally with Cole, in every way and I just freaking
love these two together. She brings out
the sweetness in him, it was there all along but he didn't know what being in
love felt like until he met her. There
is something about Tara that just draws people in. Her and Cole have so much in common and are
just so right for each other. If the
story stopped at 20% they would have rode off into the sunset together and lived
happily ever after. Life isn't a
fairytale though!
"I am completely and hopelessly in love with you. Whether you want me or not,
you have my heart, always" -
Cole
After receiving the news that Riley is alive, Tara knows she
needs to face him and their past if any of them have any hope of moving
forward. The scene where they first see
each other again is just so heartbreaking, Riley is a broken man and not the
Riley she remembers. His feelings for
Tara have never wavered in their time apart but will he be able to accept that
she has changed in his absence?
There is of course the matter of Cole's interfering mother
and that annoying woman Prue. Tara gets
so frustrated with Cole about how he lets his mother manipulate his life and
control his future and there is that moment where I was so bloody angry with
him, I wanted to crawl into the story and slap some sense into him. This is a real turning point in the story
where Tara really begins to question her decisions over the past year. What does she want? Is she happy with the choices she has
made?
Only way to find out is to take some time to explore what
she is feeling and it will bring a lot of tears and heartache (I'm talking about
my tears and heartache!) with some big changes for everyone.
There are so many things going on in this story, secrets
will be revealed, hearts will be broken, lots of tears flow but all under the
umbrella of a beautiful love story. Just
when you think you have been put through the wringer there is an amazing
epilogue that will leave you with a lovely warm feeling in your chest and a
sense of peace. I got all the feels
reading this and it completely consumed me - this to me is the measure of a
great book and a very talented author.
Loved this series!
I give this 5 stars.
I can't end this without some Cole Michael's (Hotbod)
naughtiness:
"I've decided," he said, now focusing on the other breast,
"that tomorrow is a no-clothes day.
From now on, every Sunday is Stripper Sunday. The only thing you can wear are stilettos."
