The distance between them is growing, and only one person can fill the void, Tara’s best friend Cole.

As Cole tries to support Tara, he is struggling with demons of his own, that threaten to tear him away from the life he has built for himself.

After devastating news is received, who will be there to pick up the pieces?

MY REVIEW:

Woah. Just when things were seeing some clarity, Lisa Edward manages to shake things up once again!

I mean, I for one am not a fan of love triangles but the Songbird Trilogy has managed to be one of the few exceptions I’ve managed to actually LOVE!

Songbird Caged starts off right where Songbird left off: with Riley leaving on tour and Tara promising to wait for him.

But… of course, with Cole, our sexy bad boy rocker carrying a torch for her and an undescribable magnetism always pulling them together, we all know what his ensues: DRAMA!

Man, there was so much drama and confusion all over this book!

I felt bad for Tara and yet I didn’t. She made a promise to marry Riley and yet she harbors feelings for Cole. What the hell, girl?!

At times I thought, “why did she agree to Riley’s proposal?”, or “Is she just clinging to Riley because he’s ‘safe’ whereas Cole was an ex-manwhore who could completely break her?”.

It was kind of frustrating to say the least.

I mean, while I do LOVE and ADORE Riley, and even though he’s not physically present throughout this read, I just don’t believe that he’s meant to be with Tara and I think he knows it too.

As for Cole, well, he has his moments and his not so great moments. Cole has never been in love before so when he falls for Tara everything is so raw and new for him that he doesn’t know how to handle his actions or emotions since the object of his affections is engaged to another man.

What will become of these three lovers? How will it end? Who will Tara choose in the end?!

Gah, I can't fricken' wait! Way to leave a cliffhanger Lisa!! It made my mouth drop!
