Review: Caged Sanctuary by Tempeste O’Riley

Blurb:
Kaden Thorn, a dental surgeon who lives a quiet life, has no hope of finding the love he craves. A vicious gay bashing cost him the use of his legs and confined him to a wheelchair. He has given up hope of finding a Dom or even a non-kink partner to love him. When his best friend practically forces him to attend a dinner party, the last thing he expects is a strong Dom who can see beyond his wheels.

Deacon James is an architect and a demanding Dom, but he has spent the last couple of years without a sub or partner. When an employee invites him to a dinner party to meet his girlfriend, Deacon smells a setup but agrees anyway. He prides himself on being an excellent judge of character, and when he meets the younger dentist, he sees past the chair and finds a sweet submissive man who more than piques his interest.

Kade’s fears and demons continue to haunt him, challenging Deacon to use everything he’s learned as a Dom to earn Kade’s trust and submission. Deacon’s determined, though, willing to battle all of it to have Kade by his side and at his feet.

Review:
This story was fabulous. I loved Deacon and Kade. There was so much emotion in this story. I felt everything with the characters. I enjoyed watching Deacon show Kade he was worthy of the attention and love he gave. Kade was so hurt from past experiences he didn’t know his own worth. My favorite scene is where Deacon went to the jewelry store with Kade. You could see how much Deacon felt for Kade and where he wanted the relationship to go. It was a defining moment for him. The scene where Deacon and Kade share with Sam and Jake was really hot. I liked how they had things both Doms wouldn’t do with the other’s boy. Plus it gave Kade an extra boost in confidence. They referenced doing it again in the future as a “sometimes” thing so it was nice to see the scene wasn’t just thrown in for hot factor sake. The collaring ceremony though. I got choked up during that scene. It was so amazing what they both said. Kade was so beautiful in his gift of submission that Deacon willingly accepted. I enjoyed some of the side characters as well and truly hope there will be more stories with them. Caged Sanctuary ends with a beautiful happily ever after, I just want more!
Stars:
Four and a half
