Then he put me in a cage.When I set out to show Eddie Vasco he’s not above the law, there was something I didn’t realize.He is above the law.That’s why I’m in a cage, wearing nothing but a tail, with the sting of his belt reminding me how disobedient pets are punished. That’s why he’s going to use me as roughly as he pleases.Publisher’s Note: Caged includes … pleases.

Whilst Caged was an enjoyable enough read, it just lacked something for me. If you like a hot and steamy read this book certainly fits. The storyline had a lot of promise, but there wasn’t enough depth of character. I was expecting more ruthless behaviour from the Don of the mafia and his soldiers. The book was rushed and needed more language development hence making it feel forced and unbelievable.
Love this story although it doesn’t have as much of action as you expect in a mafia book you still get the steamy and D/s moments.
Wow! This book is dark, gripping, hot, steamy & sweet – everything a reader wants from a mafia themed book.
Eddie Vasco is the head of his crime family. He’s an alpha through & through who always gets what he wants.
Nayla Bell is the assistant district attorney tasked with bringing Eddie down & putting him behind bars. Her friend & colleague Dylan is “investigating” a rival crime family, the Moretti’s.
From the very first page, this story is explosive. Every other page after, is just as explosive with all the twists & turns – so very intriguing!
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone – It’s a book NOT to be missed!
Well done Alta. I look forward to more from you in the future!
Delicious and oh so dark …
Going into this book you have to keep in mind that it’s a dark romance book. You may not agree with everything in it, and that’s cool. Not your thing. It does have some major dark elements in it. Things that might be triggers to some. But, if you stick around a bit, what you’ll find is a book so wickedly dark, but so decadent, that you’ll need a cold shower after.
Eddie is a surprise. He’s kind of not bad. Not a bad, bad guy. I mean he’d a bad guy, but he’s not a BAD, bad guy. He’s good for the right reasons. Also, his mom would give him a good smack if he wasn’t. Yes he did bad things, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. All in a days work right?
Nayla is a contradiction. She’s a very strong person, but she’s also soft and submissive in her way. She gives in to Eddie’s dominate ways, while keeping her inner strength. She puts up one he!! of a fight in the beginning. Wow was Eddie surprised, and was I laughing a bit. Especially with her mild stalker tendencies.
But really? An assistant DA, and a mob boss? Yeah, that’s going to work out. Right? Could it really. Maybe. Nayla is always in control in her every day life. With Eddie, she can let go of that control and just be. As for Eddie, he has the strength that can carry all of New York, and in fact he does as the head of the Vasco family. I loved these two together. Love the way this author writes dark, and mafia, but the way she writes them together is absolutely amazing.
It is really amazing what an Alpha male can do with a collar, cage, and a strong hand. A great story that shows you can study someone from a far, and become infatuated with each other. This short story was thrilling and enjoyable with my morning coffee
I wish I could give Caged more then 5 stars. It is beyond fantastic. If you have ever read an Alta Hensley book then you know the ways you can get just completely sucked into her books. I for one could not put this one down. You will love Eddie and Nayla together and where they take you. Nayla is a fiesty thing and I loved how she pushed Eddie’s buttons. They are just simply made fo each other. You feel all the passion and the heat. Caged is one sexy read that takes you on this walk to the dark side and you will not want to leave. Go pick Caged up and enjoy the ride that is Nayla and Eddie.
Quick, dirty, and a little flighty, in my opinion. An assistant DA days kidnapped by a mob boss, thrown into a cage, and seems to change into a docile snowflake almost instantly. The story was off to a great start for me, but once the assistant DA gets nabbed, it’s like she changes from the person she was, and I didn’t really care for the story after that. Of course, it’s a romance, so everything works out (no spoilers from me). I did like this because it was a quick read for me, but I didn’t like the main female character all that much.
Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
My new guilty pleasure. Dark, delicious, and decadent – more satisfying than chocolate cake with the same description. The sensuality will melt your heart and your Kindle and leave you panting for more. What is it about criminals that drags you into their orbit and make you willing to overlook the pesky details just to be under their control. This book is drool worthy and will be one I return to when I need my Alta fix.
First I want to say I just love the cover of Caged!
And I also loved the two main characters.
Nayla is a strong confident woman.
She’s smart and courageous.
She doesn’t just take things lying down.
But she’s strong enough and honest enough to know when to fight and when to placate.
She picks her wars and goes all in.
Eddie is the sexy head of the Vasco Mafia Family.
He rules with an iron fist.
He expects and demands respect.
These two together are explosive!
Not only is their sexual chemistry hot and intense.
But also their fights are just as combustible.
And Ms. Hensley threw in some omg I did not see that coming twists and turns.
I loved Nayla and Eddie’s story
Caged is an intense, forbidden, steamy, dark , twisted mafia romance that will take you on quite the ride. Eddie and Nayla’s story will have the readers hooked from the start. The book just flowed and right away I knew that Eddie was going to be just amazing- with his stalkerish ways and Obsession with Nayla. Nayla is the one who also is one to watch. The twists were just fantastic!! Caged had me seduced by the powerful story that took place.
My Rating : 4.5 stars *******
The queen of darkness has struck again. I absolutely loved this gritty, steamy, intense, beautifully written book by the amazing Alta. It kept my attention the entire time.
OMG! This is another Alta Hensley cannot put it down book! Nayla is an Assistant District Attorney and Eddie is the mafia boss she is investigating.
Nayla is kidnapped, claimed and trained by Eddie. WOW!!! This story is erotic and dirty and enticing and arousing. It is filled with power, dominance, and submission. It is bursting with pleasure and pain and an increasing acceptance of one’s own hidden desires.
I was not sure what to expect from the clash of these two strong and determined characters, but Alta’s story gave me even more than I could imagine. I LOVED it!
Oh my! This is hot, dark and full of action. Pulls you in right from the start with a bang! Literally. Oh I loved this so much. Alta knows how to give you dark and delicious that’s for sure!
WOW this was so good and very dark and so dirty, Nayla is a strong willed woman but when she meets Eddie who is tall dark and handsome and very scary with the intensity to bring her down and put her in her place all things change. This was intense filled with danger and exciting scenes I could not put it down these characters are very well written and you truly get lost in their story.
