Caught on Camera Meg Maguire 9780373796120 Books

Meg Maguire knows how to write a steamy story and this is a good example. Ty is the creator and host of an adventure based reality show. Although definitely dreamy, he is rather self-effacing. There is much to love about this hero who is both sexy and funny. He is a well-rounded character with some personal history that has impacted how he lives his life.

In comparison, Kate comes across as less likable. Although capable, she owes her career to Ty giving her a chance in the beginning. Somewhere along the way, Kate forgets that Ty IS the show. As a reader, I just felt Kate wasn`t "Ty-worthy" at times.

All in all, though, a good read.

Caught on Camera Meg Maguire 9780373796120 Books Reviews

3.5 stars

This book is SO HOT. Meg Maguire is a fantastic erotic writer. She reminds me of Sylvia Day but with less angry sex. Her characters have good hearts and care deeply for each other, they just haven't allowed themselves to cross the line to lovers. When they do, trapped, alone and away in the wilderness, it's just enough angst- demanding, commanding, passionate and so good. Then it's desperate and role reversing- impatient and selfish. Then impulsive and base. Then finally honest, emotionally raw, dreamily affectionate and deeply vulnerable. (I am suffering from some serious post read Ty swooning.) A definite re-read.
I bought this book solely on the name of the author having read and loved other books by her (The Reluctant Nude, Willing Victim).

Like the structure of The Reluctant Nude, this story focuses primarily, almost exclusively just on the H/h. I honestly can't think of another character in this book.

Dominic Tyler, known as Ty is a one man reality show. His tv show is a cross between Survivor/Man vs. Wild with a little bit of MacGyver thrown in. It doesn't hurt that he is extremely handsome either. Kate, his one woman tv camera crew, pit boss, publicity machine....you name it... knows this and will often make sure there is at least once scene in each show where he needs to take off his shirt.

The two of them have worked very well together for three years, basically being a two person operation, traveling all over the world to some of the most exotic, weird, dangerous places so that Ty can be placed in a situation to show his viewers how to Survive This! (that is the name of the show). They are best friends and know each other very well. But they each are harboring a hopeless attraction for the other. Neither wants to admit it. Kate moreso because she knows that will mean the end of her job and her job is all she has. But they flirt heavily and suggestively with each other, going to the line but careful not to step over it.

During a trek in the wilds of Canada they become stranded and spend a lot of time together finally confronting their feelings for each other.

This being a Meg Maguire book the sex scenes (and they finally do have some, quite a lot actually) are incredibly hot. I really need to get over my shock that the Blaze line in Harlequin is not like your mother's Mills& Boons anymore. This is the second time I've picked up a Blaze book and clutched my pearls in horrified delight at the salty-sexy language! LOL.

Also, this being a MM book, I can't help but compare it to the most recent MM book I read which was The Reluctant Nude. As I mentioned above the structure of this book is very reminiscent of that one. It is solely a two character story where the characters spend a lot of time talking and connecting and getting to know each other. This book had a brisker pace and was more conventional in tone than TRN, but it still had some very similar markers.

The dialogue was strong, the language was natural. The points when they reminisce or remember past exploits were fun to read about. And the hero in this one (just as in the other) makes a grand gesture to get the girl in the end. I thought as grand gestures went, this one was much better, though. Actually quite cute, I wanted to spend more time on it actually.

Not 5-stars because there were times when I wanted them to communicate better. They seemed to be missing each other's points sometimes or were talking in circles sometimes. Even so, it is still a great book. I absolutely plan to continue my enjoyment of this author
There is only one reason I decided to read this book...Meg Maguire is the alter ego of Cara McKenna. Last year I discovered Ms. McKenna and her book Willing Victim and really, really really liked it. That's not to say I may not have picked this book up based on the cover/back blurb but since Meg Maguire = Cara McKenna, this book quickly went on the auto-buy list.

I love reality TV and Survivor is one of my favourite shows, so the premise behind Caught on Camera which is based on a reality show Survive This! similar to the Bear Grylls show Man vs. Wild with a hot Aussie host Dom don't-call-me-Dominic-because-I-hate-it Tyler, with his equally hot Aussie accent and quaint sayings I knew regardless of anything else I was going to like this book (love me some Aussies). In addition this book takes place mainly in the wilds of Saskatchewan and I'm Canadian - what's not to like about this book so far? Nothing that I could see.

Caught on Camera was a flirty, fun, surprisingly suspenseful, emotional read. Who knew that being stranded and isolated in the Saskatchewan wilderness would be so cathartic for examining and re-evaluating your life, your feelings and finally make you realize what's really important in life.

Ty and Kate have been working together for three years in some pretty extreme and bizarre situations all over the world. They both think of each other as their best friend and know each other inside and out. Yet being stranded together in some of the most extreme conditions they've ever faced yet quickly reveals just how little they really do know about one another. Up until this point they've never crossed the line between friends and co-workers (although they`ve both thought about it...a lot), but things are about to change in a big way.

Ty and Kate's time spent alone was almost like an intense three day long therapy session. There are no secondary characters, no sub-plots to carry the story. Just Ty and Kate and their unscripted struggle to survive in a real life version of their reality show Survive This! And Maguire sure does make them struggle...after all that which doesn`t kill you, makes you stronger. Take a little dog sled mishap, throw in a blizzard, a chimney fire, an unexpected meeting with an animal trap, mix in two emotionally scarred and stubborn people and Caught on Camera delivers an emotional wallop right up to the very end. Ty's grand gesture at the end was so romantic and sweet...seriously - the Aussie redeemed himself beautifully. I loved it!
This was a well done Blaze. I liked the way the story was told and I enjoyed both the main characters. There was one dumb move at the end of the book by Ty, which I think could have been told better but all and all it was a good friends to lovers story.
