Caught on Camera Serial #1

Caught on Camera: Part One

Rate this book
When Reece Carter is caught on camera canoodling with hunky gardener Cade Davenport, a

new, super-sexy opportunity presents itself that he just can’t walk away from.

Reece Carter is sweating in the dirt and feeling the heat. It’s a scorching hot day and he’s slaving

away indoors. But at least he has a nice view from the window—sexy gardener Cade

Davenport—no job too big or too small—who is mowing the lawn minus his shirt.

Soon thirst overcomes Reece and he finds himself swimming, kissing and getting frisky in the hot

tub with the super-confident, seize-the-moment Cade, whose wit, humor and cocky smile is

irresistible.

What Reece doesn’t know is that the walls have ears and the trees have eyes. His every moan,

gasp and erotic move is being recorded in fine and shocking detail.

But what does that mean? And what about the intriguing offer Cade puts to him? Shouldn’t he

just punch his lights out for filming him without permission? And will Reece’s life ever be the same

again after being caught on camera?



Lily Harlem lives in the UK with a workaholic hunk and a crazy cat. With a desk overlooking rolling

hills her over active imagination has been allowed to run wild and free and she revels in using the

written word as an outlet for her creativity.

Lily's stories are made up of colourful characters exploring their sexuality and sensuality in a safe,

consensual way. With the bedroom door left wide open the reader can hang on for the ride and Lily

hopes by reading sensual romance people will be brave enough to try something new themselves?

A decorator and a gardener hookup while they should be working - gardener is secretly filming this encounter and it ends on a cliffy with the gardener sending the video to the decorator with an offer to film more for money.

Straight up erotica but interesting enough characters that I’m keen to continue the series! This is 1 out of 5 parts.

Very steamy fun, if you like it straight to the point, no holds barred. This ones for you.
It’s short, it’s intense and it seems that it’s very satisfying for all involved.
Plus there are more books to follow in this series.
What more could you ask.

Reese is a decorator painting the master bedroom of a wealthy client, but he's distracted by the sexy gardener. On an impulse, he brings the man a soda. They get to chatting, and Cade reveals how he spends a lot of time at this estate. How he owners aren't home much. And how he'd love a swim on this hot summer day.

What happens next rocks Reese's world. It's hot with a capital "H". Cade makes Reese think he's up for more--to Reese's delight, but...well, recall the title: Caught on Camera? Yep, there's a catch here for sure. Cade has a proposition that could make or break their tenuous relation--and Reese has a big decision to make.

Cannot wait to read on! So much sexy packed into this novella-sized morsel.

Reece is a decorator with pretty boy looks and gets distracted whilst painting the bedroom of a rich socialite by the buff gardener,Cade, that appears one day.

Within hours they are embarking on a rather hot adventure involving swimming pools, hotubs and pool loungers.

After exchanging numbers Reece receives a message from Cade - a video message and Reece realises that he has been played but Cade has an interesting proposition....

I don't normally enjoy reading serials as they always end on a stinker of a cliffhanger but this one just leaves you wanting more!!!

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Nice start to the Caught on Camera serialisation. Reece and Cade make one hot couple, the country house in Wiltshire (gorgeous) is a stunning backdrop to their hanky panky, and as Reece arrives home at his flat with the broken lift and the corridor stinking of piss, he receives a message and an unexpected video from Cade. 4 stars from me.

I went into this with the wrong assumption not noticing it is a short story. Really short. So let's just say if you have a sex-plot driven story it's difficult to make it still deep enough to draw good characters, have a plot that makes sense and yet have sizzling sex on top of all that. If you have less than 50 pages room to develop all this and you are not an exceptionally gifted author and something is bound to get lost. So no life-like characters. No plot that makes sense. But at least on the sex part we can grant some points. Which makes this basically a smutty short. If that is what you are looking for and you don't expect too much plot or character design than this could be for you. For me it was just not satisfying enough.

Unlike the other short M/M book I've read today, I didn't particularly enjoy this one. It started good but I lost interest once things started heating up between out decorator and gardener. It just didn't grab me, it was all sex with no feelings...maybe I'm being unfair by comparing it to the one I like better earlier, Bare-Knuckle Love, but that's the way I'm feeling right now.

I won't be continuing the series.

Spoiler Alert! What a complete jackass Cade was. I just knew he was up to something. I was also really pissed that Reece wasn't more upset about Cade filming them having sex, even if it was really hot.

Another sexy short read from this brilliant author. If you like red hot M/M action then you seriously need to read this. It's the first in a series and I for one cannot wait for the next steamy part.

Quick, hot short freebie. No real time to get to know the characters, hope the next one has a bit more character development. But if you are just looking for a quick, hot read, pick it up.

Original Blog Post: Totally Bound Blog Tour, eARC Review & Guest Post: Caught on Camera Serial by Lily Harlem

My Rating: 4 of 4 Stars
(Based on Short&Light Read Category)


Those of you who are looking for a short, HOT! read are sure to not only fan yourselves silly, but learn a few new things along the read.

This is the story of how one young man in financial difficulties suddenly finds himself a movie star. Well, a porn movie but still a movie and best of all, he gets to do the deed with a guy he really likes and he gets paid with lots of mullah. Not something he wants to write home to mama about but definitely it is something he finds himself liking to do. And the money is great.

So we have Reece, a decorator trying to make ends meet, looking out the window and seeing this hunky gardener he knows only as Cade. When Cade takes off his shirt, his paint slips over the window frame so he knew he was not focused. When he brings over a can of beer to cool down and rest a bit with the gardener, he does not know if he is dealing with a straight guy or a gay one. Either way, he had to satisfy his curiosity.

When Cade offers him an afternoon of delight, Reece takes it with a smile. And the erotic ride unfolds until he goes home and sees the message sent over by Cade.

In the second book, Reece finds himself getting a movie offer and Cade as his leading man. He can hardly resist, not after knowing he enjoyed himself to the max and is receiving enough compensation for his hard work. When the camera light goes on, Reece and Cade play out their roles. The only question is: are they playing themselves or are they acting.

This is not a romance, neither is this drama. This is just a plain, HOT! read I would consider an afternoon delight. The two books are short as can be but never once was I left hanging. Now the only warning I can give out is: if you are not open to the thought of two men acting out their fantasies in front of the camera and get paid for it, then this is not for you.

Otherwise, ladies, this is HOT! (I think I said HOT! more than enough but it's worth repeating :D ) HOT!

Everyday decorator, Reece Carter has his world turned upside down when he encounters handsome gardener Cade Davenport for the first time. Going about his daily decorating job, Reece can't help but notice the hunky gardener with his bulging muscles and it isn't long before he lets his imagination run wild.
He takes 5 mins to just stand and drink in the fine form of this man who is expertly tackling the lawn ....only to be caught! Reece plucks up enough confidence to go and offer Cade a drink and it isn't long before things turn a little naughty.
It's been a long time since Reece has had any male attention and is amazed by how much he craves the feel of another man. What follows is hard, fast, horny, rampant sex in various locations around the garden as Cade certainly seems to know what he's doing. The early arrival of the occupants of the house soon puts a stop to their antics, but Reece can't help but wonder if more is to come. Cade had really left his mark on him and he couldn't wait to hopefully meet up again.
It seems that Cade had similar ideas when he later sends Reece a text message, but all is not as it seems!

Lily writes with such passion and vigour making this a really hot little read. It's the first book M/M book I've read and although I did struggle a little, I still really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading part 2.

Caught on Camera Part 1 by Lily Harlem
WOW what a great start in the series. You know what is even better? It is free! I will share the link below. Reece is an interior decorator trying to get his work done till he sees a hot man outside mowing the lawn, He cannot concentrate and he has to talk to this man to see which team he bats for. Cade is slaving away in the heat mowing on the lawn when he looks up at a window and sees a man staring down at him. What Reece didn’t know is that Cade was drinking him in behind his sunglasses. Reese decides to go downstairs to talk to Cade. Who knew Cade would be so forward? Well things escalate quickly but I am not complaining at all. Sometimes when you want something so bad you just go for it! After everything is all said and done when the job was finished for the day Cade sends Reece a message that will change his life forever. What is it you might ask? Well I am not going to give that away. These two sure know how to steam up the pages together. If you would like to read it, here is the FREE link - Caught on Camera: Part One by Lily Harlem - Totally Bound - Home of Erotic Romance Fiction

Whew.. Designer meets Gardener and things get HOT.

Reece has been hired to repaint a room for Mrs. Henley-Smythe, but what he finds is an extremely hot man working on the yard out back. When Reece can no longer stand it, he heads down to see if the man takes his bait.

Not only does Cade, the gardener, take his bait, he takes things up another notch. Things get heated in the pool, hot tub and on the deck.

Reece can't believe what has happened especially when Cade comes to find him and exchange numbers. Maybe this is his chance at finding someone to help him get over the brutal breakup he went through.

Oh but, there is so much more in play than Cade let on.

I flew through this as I couldn't stop reading! I had to know what they were going next. Loved both the men and the situation felt genuine and was incredibly sexy. Can't wait for more!

This was a hot, fun short read. Reece the Decorator sees hot Gardener Cade mowing the lawn, one thing leads to another and Reece finds himself with an unusual proposition from Cade. I will have to read book 2 to find out what happens next.

This is a hot episode. It's only the start of a story. A painter (called a decorator here) encounters a gardener and they have sex in the pool of their client's house. The catch is that the gardener films it and offers the painter a chance to act in porno movies.

A fun, dirty, unabashedly explicit tale of an accidental porn star. M/m. Yes, really. I can't wait to read parts 4 & 5!

M/M erotica short stories (1/5)
It is fun, scorching hot and I didn’t mind the cliché setting/plot.

Reece is a house painter and on a hot day working at a mansion he can’t keep his eyes off the sexy gardener.
Cade is forward and uninhibited and just after sharing a Coke, convinces Reece to join him for a lot of hot steamy sex.

It is a very short vignette from Reece’s POV but the characters are well developed which is rare in erotica. There is good chemistry between Reece and Cade. And the erotica is very good despite all the cliché.

But it was a little hard to like Cade when as the title suggests, Reece discovers to his horror that there was more to the sexy exhibitionist sex as he was caught on camera. But Cade pleads and makes Reece a vague proposition that leads to the next vignette.

Cade & Reece

It is straight up smut, the blurb indicates a plot that develops through the series but there isn't much of one in this part. It's fine when rating it as a short smut story.

Hot & heavy! This short introductory volume does a bare minimum of background/setup. That’s ok, since it’s just a sexy intro to the series. Explicit sex is well done, and I’m going for the next book.

The writing was a little simplistic, but it was a fun playful romp.
