Twenty-one years after a random call out, Judd is found chained and beaten in the basement of an old rundown farmhouse where he has lived the life of an animal for the last twenty-one years.
Kloe Grant is assigned as Judd’s personal therapist. It’s her job to rehabilitate him, to guide him back to normal life. But as Judd’s only emotion is rage, Kloe finds it both heart-breaking and challenging mending a soul that’s not only broken but caged inside him by the demons of his past.
However, when Kloe’s relationship with her patient raises some eyebrows, Kloe can’t fight against the powers that want to see her fail, and with an arm behind her back, she walks away, leaving behind a man who has come to live life again for her.
Not until a chance encounter brings him to her door. To the woman with the bluest eyes and the most stunning smile, the woman who took his hand in the darkness and led him through the door into the sun.
But Kloe Grant left him when he needed her the most. She took the only shred of hope and trust he had left and annihilated it. She starved his belief, and she fed his fury.
She owes him. And he’s going to make sure that this time, she pays. In blood. In lust. In pain. And with her soul.

Review by Bettina A.
Judd Asher disappeared when he was a little boy. Years later he is found and he has gone thru some terrible things. Kloe who has her own darkness works with those who has suffered something terrible. She is able to help those return society. Then Kloe meets Anderson and everything changes. She feels like he can see right into her, and she knows there’s more to him than than the frightened man. Boundaries are crossed when they should not have been and promises are broken. Will they survive their darkness or will it swallow them whole?
This is exactly what I needed in a dark and twisted book. The forbidden attraction between them. I did not know what to expect. When I thought I had them figured out something makes me question everything. Who is good and who’s not, who can be trusted and who can’t. There was a twist in there I did not see coming and I LOVED it!!! I think that’s when I fell in love with him. I would most definitely recommend this book to every dark and twisted book lover!
Lita T’s Review:
Caged by D.H. Sidebottom is a story that once I had read the synopsis I had to read this story. Judd was abducted at 4 years old and 21 years later he is found chained up in the basement of his abductor’s farmhouse. Kloe is the lady assigned to re-acclimate him back into the world. In trying to help him find his place in a world he doesn’t know she has to get through to him. I was not disappointed at all with this was a story. The author provided us with many twist and turns. The author put a lot of story into this book considering the length of the book. Not only do we learn about Judd but we also get to see that Kloe is fighting demons of her own. I do not want to give too much of the story away, all I will say is hold and enjoy. This story is a real rollercoaster ride. Even though the book ends in a cliffhanger and we have to wait for the next book, I can say the author left me wanting more as well wanting to call her up and ask her “WTF.” I was totally satisfied with this story and cannot wait till the next book comes out. I am looking forward to how the author wraps this story up and ties everything together. I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review and I can without a doubt give this book 5 stars.
