Caught in the Lies

By: Kacey Shea

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Jason Clarke

Length: 9 hrs and 48 mins

Publisher's Summary

Fire captain Cameron McClain dropped into my life with as much subtlety as an unsolicited d*ck pic. I shouldn’t be attracted to him, but I am. He’s too old for me, too alpha for my tastes, and too bossy in the bedroom. Though, I have to admit he knows exactly how to use his...firehose.

I’m not interested in a forever kind of relationship, but he’s down for whatever I’m willing to give. Our arrangement is perfect. At least that's how it begins. I never wanted the happily ever after, but he’s just so tempting. 

The smart choice would be to end things before they combust, but for some reason I can’t push Cam away. The harder I try, the harder he - well, you get the picture. 

I wish things were different. I want to be someone worthy of his devotion. But the secrets I hold close, they don’t just eat me up inside, they destroy anyone who gets too close. 

So, I won’t fall in love. Simple, right? 

Wrong. So freaking wrong. I don’t just fall. I crash and burn for this man. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out I’m not the only one telling lies and keeping secrets, and his are enough to rip us apart forever. 

Caught in the Lies can be listened to as a stand-alone, or start with Callie's story in Caught in the Flames.

Wow! Love this performance!

Hi! I'm Kacey Shea, the author of Caught in the Lies.

OMG! I thought I couldn't love Savannah Peachwood anymore than I already do. I was wrong! She is fantastic at her craft. From sexy, to funny, to sweet, she brings an honesty to my characters in a way that made me want to do nothing but listen to this book straight through! Her performance for each character is unique and distinct, which is such a delight as a listener.

As for the male point of view, Jason Clarke, made me wish I had written this book in full dual POV, he's that good! I cannot wait to work with him again on future audios. His voice added so much to the listener experience of this story, and he nailed Cam's character. When you listen you'll understand the reason for keeping you out of Cameron's thoughts for most of the chapters!

If you love a story with layers, twists, and a few unforeseen turns about a smoldering fireman and a heroine who must face her past to move forward with a future she never imagined, then I think you'll love this one!

Love Cam & Jill

I loved this emotional and sexy age gap romance. We get a glimpse of Cam & Jill in their prequel, which is free in, One Hot Night! Their connection is fiery hot, their banter is fun & flirty, but their insecurities have them hiding secrets and unwilling to share. So even though they feel perfect for each other, it's these secrets that feel more like lies that threaten to shred them to pieces. Jill's best friends, Alicia & Callie, are incredible. I love the way they tease & support each other. But ultimately it's the emotional journey that Cam & Jill endure that is so beautiful. I loved everything about this book. The writing was exceptional. And Savannah Peachwood was exceptional with her narration. I loved Jason Clarke as Cam's entries it was perfect!

A Tension Filled Emotional Romance

I really enjoyed this emotional romance. This is a standalone read but there is a free prequel (One Hot Night) that is available for Jill and Cam's story. You could easily read this book without it but it was a very fun quick read with lots of steam and humor. Plus, it is free AND it provides a perfect set up for starting off this book with a bang. So grab it and read it. Now as for this book, I found myself very quickly pulled back into this couple's story and it does not take long to realize that things are going to be emotional, tense and drama filled. I liked both these characters so much and I felt that they were perfect together. These are very complex characters. They each have emotional baggage, flaws and secrets. You will feel a lot of tension as the storyline unfolds and their relationship evolves because you know the secrets they are holding back from each other (and the reader) are going to be huge and catastrophic. There is plenty of humor in this book as well as well as some sweet and swoony moments that help to balance out that whole "Waiting for the other shoe to drop" angsty feeling. When both of these characters secrets are revealed your emotions will really be sent spinning. I found my heart truly aching for Jill. I could seriously relate to her and her situation. There is almost nothing quite as painful as regret. I also felt for Cam and I could logically understand his reasoning but, I'd be lying if I said that whole situation did not leave me with an overall feeling of distaste and a epic desire that things had been different (and I know I will not be the only reader that feels this way). Even with that caveat, I really, really did enjoy this book. It was well written, engaging and and had a couple I easily fell for and wanted to be happy. I'm looking forward to reading Alicia's story next and you could also check out Callie's book Caught In flames which is out already. The dual narration was a delightful bonus to an already amazing book and I thought that both of these narrators did an excellent job of making it easy to connect with the characters themselves but also the entire story.

4.5 Captivating Stars!

Wow, this second book in the Caught series was captivating and sexy! This is a sweet, emotional age gap romance between an older Cam and a younger Jill. Cameron and Jill are both complicated characters. They both have pasts and secrets that keep them from giving themselves fully to each other. Jill wants to live life on her own terms, not wanting marriage or kids. Cam never expected more than a good time with Jill but this sexy woman blindsided him and he will do what he can to keep her in his life. Jill is conflicted between a stressful job and her growing desire for more with Cam. There were several plot twists I didn't see coming, but felt authentic. This was a beautiful story of life's ups and downs, overcoming past tragedies to find true friendship, and love. I also loved all the secondary characters who are quirky, supportive, and adversarial that add so much depth, intrigue and fun to this story. The narration by Savannah Peachwood, and Jason Clarke was superb! They nailed these characters perfectly, making me feel all the complex emotions they experienced. I was completely lost in their moving performance and in Shea's amazing and beautiful story!

Fantastic Narration

Great audiobook! I really enjoyed the story and LOVED the actual performance. Savannah & Jason both did excellent with the narration. They don't just read the story, they perform it. You can feel the emotions/humor/excitement etc of what happens in every moment as easily as you would if you were watching them as scenes in movies. Jason has been one of my favorites for awhile, but Savannah is quickly becoming another favorite! They make the perfect duo. The story itself was really good, I'm growing attached to this crazy group of friends and their sweet firefighters!

Steamy Captain Cam

Cam the older firefighter and Jill the younger fierce independent woman. She wants casual and he wants forever. They both have secrets that hold them back.
A emotional, laugh out loud read. Jill and her friends are very close and funny as can be. Cam the fire captain who has found the woman he wants to marry but will she forgive him for the secrets he keeps and the twist at the end that tugs on your heartstrings. Very much worth the wait.
Great Job by the narrators. Really made the book come to life.
A must read steamy firefighter series!!!
I received a advanced copy for a voluntary honest review by the Author.

AWESOME!

I really enjoyed it! The author did an amazing job with the character builds and plot. I have read other books by this author and really love her writing style! I look forward to reading more books from this author. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Fun, Sexy, Emotional, and Beautiful!

This is the second book in the connected standalone stories written by Kacey Shea. This is a great age gap story (older man). Jill and Cam's story is fun, sweet, emotional, twisted, and beautiful. I loved it! Cam is a handsome firefighter, fun, bossy with a filthy mouth. He is also caring, patient, and protective. Jill is a lovely woman, fun, and strong. I love how the audiobook version brings this story to life. Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke did a great job with the narration. You don't have to read the free prequel to this story, One Hot Night, but it's free and it's a fun and sexy read before reading/listening to Caught in the Lies.

So Good!!!🔥

I read the prequel for this book “One Hot Night” and immediately was hooked on Jill and Cam’s story! I enjoyed these characters and their chemistry together. Jill is one bad ass woman and Cam, you can’t help but love him! I love the banter between Jill and Cam and how much they support each other. I was hooked from beginning to end!

Heavy, But Great

So the story was very heavy on the angst and inner dialogue on the female and that was sometimes a bit hard to handle but once the couple broke their personal damns to open up about their past the story was smooth sailing.

I really enjoyed the flow of the story and there were some small interesting twists the female character dealt with along the way.

The end was lovely and very fitting for these two ❤️

Since this was mostly the heroines POV it was mostly narrated by Savannah Peachwood and I simply adore her. She is super talented and super adorable all rolled into one lol

And Jason Clarke popped in here and there to have some hero POV. Love his voice. Smooth and mellow

Emotional & HOT

Caught in the Lies is a scorching hot age-gap romance that had my emotions run the gamut. The storyline is captivating, loaded with drama, steam, love, heartbreak, and intense emotions. Cam and Jill's chemistry is off the charts, and their relationship is complicated, paved with obstacles. I love how both characters grow and learn from each other.

The narration by Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke is superb. Both narrators do a fantastic job with the characters' personalities and emotions, bringing them to life for the listeners. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, and recommend it.

What a wonderful book!!!

Kacey Shea has quickly become a favorite author for me. I will read every word she writes at this point. Everything I have read from her has such a rich story and such wonderful characters... I can never stop once I start!

Cam is a fireman, older, and in love with Jill... a tough, dirty mouthed woman , younger. Cam loves her, but they are keeping things light... Jill doesn’t want more.... she doesn’t feel like she deserves love. She’s never shared the why of this belief with anyone, nor even her best friends. Things spiral for her, at work, in her relationship.. and it brings her to some realizations that change her .

Cam has been hiding things... and since things hidden often come to light, it’s not surprising when that begins to happen... and when it does... he realizes he should have shared them himself rather than letting them come out by accident. But he may be too late.....

Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke were great choices for the narration of this book!!!

Hot n Steamy

Jill and Cam's story is an emotional one. Starting off with a picture in her dm. Things heat up from there.
FIREFIGHTERS and a bit of naughty..

Savanah Peachwood is amazing. Does great with both parts as the story is told from Jill's Pov. Jason Clarke.. hor sexy voice of Cam...

Age gap relationship

Even though Jill and Cam had an age difference, it did not seem to be a big part of the story at all. They each had secrets that would be revealed and finding out what those secrets were and how the other would respond was the catch to the story. I could not put it down. Cam and Jill fit together and even though they wanted to keep it casual, I was secretly hoping for more for them. Kacey Shea writes romances that tug at your heart, that make you smile and make you want love. Caught in the lies is that and so much more. I hung on every word and I cannot wait to read more in this series.

Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke are a great narrating team. They have complimentary voices that kept the story flowing. Savannah and Jason brought Jill and Cam to life. They narrated all the feels so that I felt everything the characters did. Overall, the narration was amazing and enhanced the story.

Get caught in a great story

What more can I say but wow . Kacey wrote a story that will hit you at your heart Kacey wrote a story with strong characters that have little cracks that need some love to fill them . I was happy to be along for the ride . Both Jill and Cameron’s has secrets that they are afraid to bring to lite . Both Jill and Cam think they are in for the short term but love and life throws them for a curve. Cam has a very dangerous work , but he loves it and good at it . Jill has her own worries about her job and where she is going to live . Cam decides to come clean with Jill after a while , Cam has the scene played out in his mind but Jill throws his plans for a loop

Both Savannah Peachwood, Jason Clarke performance was strong , steady and smooth. They did the tone for each character great you can tell who the characters are

A great story amazing narration

🎧 Audiobook Obsession Reviewer

This is a nice story of older man younger woman who want a caual relationship but will the feels get involved. Cam was such a sweetheart and I loved how he caed about everyone. I liked Jill but took me a while to understand her and some of the things she did seemed a little immature but she got better as the story went on.

the narration was very nice Jason Clarke is so good at the alpha man and he made Cam come to life so well . Savannah Peachwood has a nice rich voice and he and Jasons voices went well togethe and were perfect for the characters.

A nice love story that i have been wanting to listen to for a while and glad i finally go the chance.

When a casual relationship catches feelings

The story was just okay. It seemed to drag quite a bit!
I liked the connection that Jill and Cam had, but I didn’t really buy the love between them until much later in the story. It took things hitting the fan to really highlight their true feelings for one another. This book was full of guarded hearts and untold secrets. It kept the couple from reaching their true potential. But in the end, it all worked out and the story had a sweet and pleasant HEA.

I didn’t care much for some of the writing. I felt like there were so many unnecessary expletives that added nothing to the dialogue or story. The heroine had the mouth of a sailor, which I loved, but at times it was just so over the top.

The narration was great!

I received a complimentary audiobook for review from @audiobookobsession

Great narration

Caught in the Lies can be read as a stand alone novel, however I would recommend starting with the first book in the series because I really enjoyed it and it would be more enjoyable read them in order.

When I read Caught in the Flames, the first book in the Caught series, I was impressed with its storyline and wanted to continue the series. I switched to audiobook for Caught in the Lies. When I started playing the introduction and heard that it was performed by Savannah Peachwood AND Jason Clarke—two of my absolute favorite narrators—I was thrilled. (I may have jumped up and down just a little bit. And maybe cheered. Thank God I was home alone at the time.)

Cam was not one of my favorite characters from the first book, however, Jason Clarke as Cam's voice gave me a more positive impression of Cam. Great narration adds another dimension to the story and brings the characters to life. Both Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke convey the characters' feelings in their words.

Caught in the Lies was a little more predictable than Caught in the Flames, but it still had more complexity to the story than just a romantic relationship. I'm looking forward to the next in the series coming out later this year and I'll be reading other stories by Kasey Shea while I wait.
