Naylas knew she had a job to do but Eddie had become more than a case. She knew him. She knew the gunfire at the church wasn’t him. Then Eddie took her from her home. All the questions and all he did to her. Yet he touched her. But in truth who saved who?
Alta Hensley writes these incredible stories with strong men and women that find each other in the most bizarre ways.
I loved this story with its action, hot scenes, and wonderful endings!
Sexy & erotic
Mafia kingpin Eddie Vasco sets his mind to rescue his DA pursuer, Nayla Bell. She doesnt know it yet but Eddie just might be her savior. A dark erotic story about two people from vastly different worlds. Or are they really? Interesting storyline. Some really intense erotic scenes.
No one writes intense, forbidden,steamy,dark, and twisted quite like Alta Hensley. She’s my top go to author when I’m looking for these things because I know she’ll always deliver. And Caged was PERFECT for this!! Plus Mafia to boot. Count me in!!
Eddie and Nayla’s story is fast paced yet the author’s descriptions are so good you are so caught up in their world. Caged just flowed. I enjoyed the pet play, and he D/s that MS Hensley instills in most of her books. A quick fast paced read that will leave you satisfied for sure.
This is a shorter story so everything is rushed. The plot, character development, setting details, romance, sexy scenes – everything is rushed. If you go into this knowing that then you should still enjoy it. It’s the kind of story I would love to see extended and developed more. It reads like a novella and has the bones to be an incredible novel. The characters of Eddie, the Mafia Boss, and Nayla, the investigator, are interesting and have great chemistry. I love the whole humiliation/kinkiness thing between them. It’s a fun walk on the wild side that I loved.
Training his fiesty DA
—>>> District Attorney Nayla Bell is in the middle of gathering evidence for a case to put the mafia families ruling the city out of business for good, but ends up kidnapped and literally caged by the head of the Vasco family, Eddie. This man is a bad boy don, who indulges himself with his latest pet Nayla while he and his men try to figure out who was responsible for messing with the law (besides him, of course) and gunning for his organization. But he has strict rules, and when Nayla speaks, her feistiness and defiance soon pulls the protective side from him.
This dark mafia romance was well worth the read with the well written storyline, a plot that flowed smoothly from page to page and characters that were written with great detail and depth that kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
This is a delightfully dark steamy read and there are some possible triggers in this due to consent issues and kidnapping. Eddie is mafia and Nayla is an assistant DA, they are enemies, but they are also attracted to each other. This is a story that has some nice twists and turns in it and it’s difficult to say who the bad guys really are. I stayed up and read this book as once I had started it, I wasn’t able to put it down. I loved it; it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I enjoyed it.

Nayla and Eddie are from opposite sides of the law. Nayla thought she could take down mafia don Eddie Vasco but the trick was on her. Eddie captures Nayla and is determined to punish her with spankings, pet play, cages, non-consent and other elements of kink. This story may have triggers for some readers. I enjoyed this dark read.

I so enjoyed this story. Nayla is an AD investigating Eddie, the head of the mafia family. This is a forbidden romance that goes wrong and right in all the right ways.

I initially passed on this book when I first saw it come available but then I read an extract that intrigued me. Yes, it is a dark romance with humiliation, forcing & caging. There are also interesting characters along with an exciting premise. Overall I enjoyed the book but I did struggle with some inconsistencies in the ‘why’ of things. Also, I had trouble reconciling the Eddie at the end of the book to the Eddie at the beginning of the book.
Nayla is an assistant DA and Eddie is the head of one of the mafia families. An alpha male and a feisty DA are the main characters in this dark, gritty and twisted read and I loved every delicious page. If you have ever read an Alta Hensley book then you know what I mean when I say this book will take you on a twisted emotional journey with shocking moments that will pull you into the story. The story is well written and the characters are perfectly twisted. If you love dark, gritty reads while still being sexy and hot then this is for you. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.
I couldn’t put this book down for a second!
Ravishing
Erotic
Breathtaking
Everything you want in a dark, captivating mafia romance… This is a MUST READ for sure!
Caged by Alta Hensley was literally unexpecting and I truly didn’t see what would happen until I turned the page. The characters are entrancing and unyielding. You want to hate but then you fall in love.
“Come here kitten…”
Will Eddie be able to cage Nayla forever
This is my 6th book by Alta and I loved this dark romance between Nayla, an assistant district attorney and Eddie, a crime lord. Nayla’s is trying to gather evidence to convict Eddie, until Eddie kidnaps Nayla. Will Nayla fall under Eddie’s power and submit to his rules? You have to read to find out and won’t put it down until you turn the last page.
Caged was a quick, dirty and entertaining mafia read. Assistant district attorney Nayla was determined to hunt down mafia boss Eddie Vasco yet she soon learned that she wasn’t the only one who’d been studying their prey. When their paths crossed sparks flew hot and fast. Deliciously wicked and somewhat dark their story piqued my interest. I enjoyed Nayla’s feistiness as well as Eddie’s dominant personality. Caged was steamy and a rather unconventional love story that made for a thrilling and quite enjoyable read.
Another suspenseful, drama filled story with great characters and an intriguing storyline. The author has the ability to lay out the story in such a way to entice you to read it by writing a great hook for the blurb. Then she draws you into the story by using descriptive words and placing you in the action. Just when you get comfortable, a bit of a twist occurs leaving you surprised. By the time you read the last word, you realize you’ve read a great book. I only wish it hadn’t been such a short book because I wasn’t ready for it to end.
Intense and full of anticipation. Nayla tries to understand what’s happening but Eddie just wants to give her what she deserves. When the unthinkable happens which way will they go? Will it be the end? You will absolutely enjoy their chemistry that is indefinable and intense.

Okay, I seriously doubt I would have forgiven Eddie that quickly. It would have taken a lot more than a couple happy endings for me to roll over willingly and expose my soft underbelly. I admired Naylas original attempts at freedom. Kitten definitely had claws.
This was easy to follow with some interesting characters.
Dylan’s a horse’s backside, but that’s just my opinion.
I would have enjoyed being there for his big finale.
Eddie confused me. How do I put this without spoilers.. He claims the humiliation and degrading behavior is revenge. For? further along in the book, this changes, but not for the reasons one would normally lean towards. Was he lying to himself, his men or her about his motives? This was one of the areas that threw me off a bit and also a reason for a lower rating.
I’m not spilling what I know but darn if there wasn’t a couple of surprises I did not see coming!
Overall as I expect from Hensley the story was entertaining and easy to read. Plenty of colorful characters to keep your blood boiling and your heart swooning.
I did read this in one sitting but it was not one of my favorites. For me, something was missing.
I would have enjoyed a longer story, but as most of you know I’m greedy like that.
I love Alta Hensley. I love dark romance, but there is a fine line between dark and abusive. On occasion, this book crossed over. Having said that, Nayla was an intriguing character, torn between what was expected from an assistant DA and her surprising needs that Eddie uncovers. I though she was better developed than he was, but overall the book was a fast, mostly steamy read.
