Review for the 4 book series.
A Reverse Harem no swords ⚔️. 4 males and 1 female. All pure Smut with a subplot of stalking (not from the MMC).
Tropes:
DVP, DP, butt play, billionaire, boss, contract, insta love
Madison just finished her internship and is looking for a new job since her Boss’s son, Hunter continues to sexually harass her and makes her very uncomfortable. She goes to an interview where she meets her soon to be bosses: Blake, Seth, Noah and Cooper. There is instant attraction for all. Blake being the holdout because he was betrayed in the past. Their lives have been busy building up their top security company and women in the past tried to split them up or make them choose and the guys grew up together and have a bond that’s unbreakable. So they came of with a plan to hire an assistant and have her sign a sex contract and an NDA. Her attraction to them plus her wanting to explore her sexuality, after denying herself during college, makes her agree to the contract.
Noah is the first person she feels a deep rooted connection to. He the shy one (not in bed that man likes his knots and knows how to control the room). He enjoys books like she does and he was the first to say I love you and wanted to be public with her but Circumstances makes Coop the guy she has to be public with.
Cooper is the blue money guy that has been know as the player to never settle down. His rich family keeps trying to make him go into an arranged marriage. All the other rich families with daughters are after his namesake. He had a past arranged marriage go south because she tried to make him choose between her or his friends. It was his idea to have a contract to share one woman. He also loves his butt play. He’s the second one to fall in love with Madison.
Seth is the boss and he likes to control things around him and he is a voyeur of the group. He happy to make sure Madison wants for nothing and likes to pick out her clothes. He’s usually the group leader in the play room but they do switch it around. He had a failed relationship due to her using him to get to Coop.
Blake is the guy that is unsure and doesn’t trust his instincts since he had that fail him before. He begged the guys to hire a prior assistant but that said assistant only wanted Blake and made Noah feel like shit. Blake is Madison’s protector and likes light BDSM.
There are a lot of Smut scenes so buckle up because there’s very little plot so make sure you are in the right headspace.
Madison finds out she has a stalker and he/she has been stalking her for over 4 years so throughout the 4 books I was more interested in finding out who her stalker was and I found myself skipping some of the sex scenes to get these answers. Simultaneously, the guys find out they have a mole in their company that’s trying to lead their clients astray.
The additional drama is Elizabeth, Seth’s ex that used him to get with Coop has blackmailed him into dating her and this causes drama between him and Madison. Leighton, Coops ex also is trying to get him back and posting things on social media trying to cause a wedge with him and his family to split him and Madison up. He announces that Madison is his fiancé. Him and Madison also are caught hugging when he’s trying to comfort her after she got a package from her stalker with an old ripped up dress she threw out. They are tying to keep it hush hush about the group arrangement not only for their business but also to prevent the stalker from escalating. Noah is hurt because he wanted to be that guy.
They have an event to go to and to keep up the pretense that they aren’t all with the same woman they have to bring dates to it. Noah brings Sara who is only trying to make a guy she wants jealous and her and Madison become good friends. Blake refuses to bring anyone and ends up bringing his sister who also becomes Madison’s friend. Seth Brings Elizabeth. Madison is assaulted by her ex professor and she is saved by the guys lawyer, Patrick who drafted the sex contract.
Madison also makes a friend at work named Hope and she is shy and lives alone and has a brother that owns a bar. There are moments the women all hang out together.
Madison also gets assaulted by her roommate and roommates boyfriend they try to sexually assault her and Blake saves her and they have her move into the live in apartment at the company a week earlier that planned to keep her safe. Later we find out the stalker killed her roomate from the boyfriend. They have been taking pictures of her for the stalker who is paying them off but cut them off when she moves to the company. There were also cameras installed all over her apartment. They are told the stalker is rich.
Her old boss hires them to install security putting Madison back in sight of the bosses son, Hunter and after he’s caught trying to assault her by his dad she finally has to admit that Hunter has sexually harassed many women including her.
Because of all this stalker business she is basically in lockdown like a princess in a tower. I’m not going to write everything the stalker did but he eventually kidnapped her friend Hope and made the guys busy so Madison was by herself. He blackmails her, saying if she doesn’t do what he says he’ll kill her friend. She follows his instructions which is via a note in a box to go to her old apartment to shower for him. His next note tells her to go to garage parking to meet a limo driver there. Fortunately for her, her neighbor, Robert, who is obsessed with Madison (thought he was the stalker for a while) is always keeping an eye out for her and he’s able to get a pic of the phone instructions the stalker gave her to give a message to her guys since the stalker is tracking her messages. She is driven to a vacation home she finds out is from a lady she used to babysit for and also is the wife to Patrick the lawyer for the guys. Anna comes there thinking she’s going to catch her husband cheating because apparently he’s known for that. Madison tells her what’s going on and Anna doesn’t have signal in the house to call anyone so she has to step out. Before she does she says there’s a trapdoor in the basement where her friend could be. When Madison goes downstairs to find her friend someone slams the door and there’s a thump and a dragging sound of what could be a body and she doesn’t know if that’s Anna or not. She finds hope gets her untied. They verify the door is locked and then they hear Patrick come calling for Anna. Madison is worried it’s a trap but figured it’s best to be out of the basement and tells hope to run if things go south so the attacker doesn’t use her as leverage again. Poor Hope has been locked in there for 2 days with barely any food or water and only let to go to bathroom once a day.
When they get upstairs she feels something is fishy and tries to get everyone to leave before the stalker gets there. A guy in all
Black with a mask comes in and pulls his mask off. It’s Hunter but oh he isn’t working alone he teamed up with Patrick. Patrick is the mastermind behind all this and only got Hunter involved with a promise of getting Madison back for telling on him to his father but he would have to kill Patrick’s wife since she has a prenup and she’s the one with the money. Patrick wants her out of the way so he can be with Madison. Hunter wasn’t supposed to reveal himself but he didn’t want to kill anyone so Patrick drops the ruses and shoots Hunter killing him on the spot. Madison talks Patrick down before he tries to kill Anna as planned. He drugs Madison. While she is out, Hope already ran to safety the guys figured where Madison was based off the info Anna provided. Anna runs away and into the guys and tells them that Patrick is the stalker and has already killed Hunter and gives them the house layout. When they hear gunshots they run in. Blake gets grazed by a bullet and Coop gets shot on the side. They detain Patrick.
While Patrick is in prison he gets one more shot at them by telling the press about their arrangement and tried to play it off as if they forced Madison into it. So Madison meets with the press to give an interview about the truth of their relationship. 7 weeks later Patrick is killed by an unknown (it is assumed by Anna’s family) to make it look like a suicide. There is an extended epilogue where they live happily together and they have 6 kids and Madison takes over a company from a mentor.

WOW! This is the way to do why choose/reverse harem! All through all 4 of the Private Listing books there are a lot of hot and heavy steamy sexy scenes, but what CS Berry does so well, is she doesn't repeat the scenes and there are a lot of them, how Madison survived all of those amazing O's I don't know haha! These scenes weren't done for filler, they were done because she finds all of her men so dang hot and they all find Madison beautiful and no one could keep their hands off of each other which is how it should be when a relationship is starting out! Each scene is beautifully done and fits well within the story!
Now onto the story!! Wow, I thought I knew who the stalker was going into book 4 and I'm not going to give anything away, it will be a surprise for anyone who thought they knew, which is how it should be if an author does their job right and she did!! CS Berry left us breadcrumbs and also left us a few to throw us off track which any great author should! The ending was just perfect! From the reveal of the stalker to recovering from the trauma to moving on to life after free of the terror she had been living with for a month not knowing who the stalker was. Life after the stalker was written beautifully and not rushed in the least. The epilogues just made me want to cry, so awesome!!
Thank you to CS Berry to writing this awesome series. I never read it on Kindle Vella and I can't wait for her to release her other series into books!

Ooh I’m sorry this took a while for me to get through!! Life just happens!
Luckily however I don’t have to go through everything that Madison went through!
And let me tell you, this book was a rollercoaster. I will not talk too much about it, only that I might have shed a few tears at the end! I am proud of the woman Madison has become. She has endured so much and thanks to the guys, she has come out so much stronger.
This was an absolutely wonderful and spicy read (it’s crazy to think that there isn’t any repetition in the spicy scenes and they are always amazing).
Thank you very much to Wildfire Marketing Solutions and C.S. Berry for the free eArc in exchange for an honest review. I will definitely be reading more of this author in the future!🖤

The last time I felt this way was reading the last 50 shades book (my personal favorite) I love when the action and spice come together! Learning everything about the guys while madison is dealing with her stalker and then everything coming to the head. I know I said I loved seeing the guys with other women but at one point I was ready to punch them. Everything with the stalker was so fun, right up still right before it was revealed who it was I was still thinking it was the wrong person! I finally had an inkling probably the same time as Madison and then was like OMG the signs were there! But I was distracted. I loved the ending and seeing how they end up together. I don't know how people don't read epilogues, that's always my favorite part. When books just end I'm like... that's it? we've been together this whole time and that's all i get to know? This series really put CS Berry not only on my radar but also on my list "If they write it, I read it"

A perfect ending to a fabulous series. I’ve loved everything about these cliff hanging books and will definitely be looking for more from Author CS Berry.
The relationship that started between Madison and her men started as something mutually beneficial but it has matured into love. There’s still lots of steamy scenes and the answer to some of the remaining questions, like who is the stalker.
You need to read these books in order.

Private Listing: Tease Me absolutely delivers—this is how you do why choose / reverse harem romance right.
Across all four books in the Private Listing series, there is no shortage of hot, heavy, and undeniably steamy scenes, but what C.S. Berry does exceptionally well is avoid repetition. And that’s saying something, because there are a lot of intimate moments. Somehow, none of them feel recycled or lazy. Each scene feels intentional, unique, and tailored to the characters involved. Honestly, how Madison survived all of those mind-blowing O’s is beyond me—girl has stamina. 😅
What really works here is that the smut never feels like filler. These scenes exist because the attraction is intense and mutual—Madison finds all of her men irresistibly hot, and they clearly find her just as captivating. No one can keep their hands off each other, and that feels natural and believable, especially in the early stages of a relationship where desire is overwhelming and constantly simmering. Every scene is beautifully written and fits seamlessly into the story rather than interrupting it.
Plot-wise, this book also brings some long-awaited answers. The stalker is finally revealed—and trust me, you will not guess who it is. Just when you think everything is wrapped up, there’s another layer added with a second, more subtle stalkerish element. I won’t spoil anything, but once you read it, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.
The only thing that fell slightly short for me was the lack of focus on Madison’s pregnancies. I really would have loved to see more of that journey—her at different stages, the emotional moments of telling her men she was pregnant, and maybe even a few pregnancy-era spicy scenes. Given how strong the relationships are, those moments could have added even more depth and intimacy to an already powerful dynamic.

Overall, Tease Me is a fantastic conclusion to the series—steamy, emotionally satisfying, and well-paced. If you love why choose romance with lots of heat, strong chemistry, and characters who genuinely crave one another, this series—and this book in particular—is absolutely worth your time. 🔥

This book had more plot than the others. The plot was interesting and suspenseful. I wish the other three books had more of a story to them. The corporate espionage storyline could have been better & filled with more intrigue. The stalker storyline, I thought, was well done and left me guessing. That they didn't hire a team of security guards & investigators (since they could easily afford it) right from the beginning of the stalker problem was rather hard to believe.
The epilogue was lackluster. The way it was written left me unsatisfied and wanting to feel something more than it did. It lacked their personalities in the epilogue, they were more of a ghost of their former selves.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. I liked all the main characters, they had distinct personalities. Do I wish character development went deeper? - Yes
Do I wish there was more plot and less smut? - Yes
Would I recommend this series? - Yes (with the caveat that it is almost all pure smut with minimal plot)
This series did have a lot (by a lot I mean 80 %+ are sex scenes, are the MCs talking about sex related subjects) of steamy sex scenes with a ton of different kinks.

Another fabulous read by C.S. Berry in the fourth and final book in the Private Listing series "Tease Me." Sad but also a happy day. Sad it's complete, but also happy knowing what happened. Then there is such passion between all of them, and the love. What I like the most even though there keeping the relationship a secret for now these men are still possessive of Madison. She's there's. They will anything they have to to protect her, from being labeled a "whore" all the way to her stalker. They are willing to come out and tell the world she's there's but there thinking about Madison and her dreams. Then with each book the scenes are HOT. Such passion. Then there is the questions that I have been asking: The question being whose the stalker? Would all of them make it? I'm not going to tell you what happens, or really much information or even answer those questions because as a reader I believe you should find out yourself. For i believe you should find out what happens in the final book. I really enjoyed reading this book and series and highly recommend it. I'm telling everyone I can to read this series. I really enjoyed it.
I was given an advanced reader copy of this book for my honest review.

This book picks up exactly where book 3 left off, and we are immediately thrown into all of the drama and intrigue. The build up to get to this point has been intense, and we FINALLY get answers to ALL of the questions that have been left hanging. We find out about the stalker. We find out about the corporate spy. We see Madison developing friendships with her girlfriends. We get more insight as to the developing relationships between Madison and all of her men (and the groveling that some of them have to do after that one thing...IYKYK 🥵).
I thought there was significantly less spice-per-chapter in this one compared to the previous three, but the intensity remained the same (less spice was to be expected, given everything that needed to be wrapped up before the end of the book). I also loved getting a glimpse into Madison and the guys' lives after everything unfolded, and it was the perfect ending to a perfect story.
C.S. Berry really hit it out of the park with this series, and I am happy that it has been published into individual novels for everyone to enjoy. I cannot wait to dive into her other two (2) series (Obsession and Untouched on Kindle Vella) shortly! She has found a reader for life with me! Two thumbs way up!

Ended with a bang!
Literally. Whew what a wild ride that was. I never thought I’d say this, but dang I was more interested in the plot than the sex scenes! I mean after a few bangaladangs it all started to seem the same even though it wasn’t, but I just had to get to the I Love Yous, I out had to find out who the stalker was. There were moments where I was 100% sure who it was, but then the author would cast doubt in my mind and I’d think no…couldn’t be. They are trying to throw me off. I didn’t see it all going down quite the way it did, but an epic ending with the epilogues. Well done C.S. Berry. Bravo! And I can totally see where you are headed with side characters and their development. I hope Hope (weird to say) finds herself in a whole lot of trouble with a certain rich for hire investigator (because did he seem interested or what?!) and Sara obvi is getting down with her brother’s friends and maybe even a certain someone she met at a epic dinner party. I mean Dante ripping her away from that party….fanning the flames there! I look forward to reading more from this author. Oh and find yourself a Coop, RHs rock, as do multiple POVs so you know what’s going on in all their heads!
Literally. Whew what a wild ride that was. I never thought I’d say this, but dang I was more interested in the plot than the sex scenes! I mean after a few bangaladangs it all started to seem the same even though it wasn’t, but I just had to get to the I Love Yous, I out had to find out who the stalker was. There were moments where I was 100% sure who it was, but then the author would cast doubt in my mind and I’d think no…couldn’t be. They are trying to throw me off. I didn’t see it all going down quite the way it did, but an epic ending with the epilogues. Well done C.S. Berry. Bravo! And I can totally see where you are headed with side characters and their development.

5/5 ⭐️
5/5 🌶
*Tease Me is book 4 and the final book of the Private Listing series. This is not a standalone as books 1-3 all end in cliffhangers leading to the ending*
With Madison's stalker still on the loose and getting more aggressive each day, her and the guys are under stress to not only protect her but also protect their image and save their company. Will their pasts end up destroying them before they can get started?
This was such a good way to end the series! Not only was there all the signature spice both as a group and individually, but the plot kept me guessing until the very end. Every time I thought I had the stalker figured out, new details would tie more people together and keep me guessing. I was shocked at who all was involved but glad that things didn't tear the group apart too badly. The guys getting revenge on Elizabeth was the icing on the cake! If you like Billionaire, why choose with some semi dark suspense, this series is for you!
Tropes:
✔️ Billionaire Romance
✔️ MFMMM Romance
✔️ Boss/Employee
✔️ BDSM/Erotica
✔️ Found Family/Girl Gang
✔️ Down On Her Luck Heroine

Tease Me is the fourth and final book of the Private Listing series and can’t be read as a standalone but…series needs to be read in order. Book more starts where book three left off and we finally get all our questions answered! Madison is still being stalked and I was kept guessing until the very end! I will say, this whole series is 80% spice and personally it was a bit much for me. I found myself skimming quite a bit over the steamy scenes. They felt repetitive after a while. I did enjoy the relationships between Madison and all four guys. I liked that the guys all had their own personalities and were so different from each other. I also really enjoyed the suspense in this book/series. The guys were willing to do anything they could to protect Madison but she wasn’t helpless. She grew to be able to protect herself. Overall, I really enjoyed the series and the plot. If you enjoy a steamy romantic suspense with four protective men then this is the perfect book!

Exciting and HOT. Mysterious and a bit of terror.
This is the final book in the Private Listing Series. Tease Me did not disappoint in any way. The scenes with Madison and the guys are hot as fire and will scorch you if you are not careful. This is how a Reverse Harem should be.
This book brings how Seth, Blake, Noah, and Coop, along with Madison, are going to figure out how a future together will work out (if it will work out at all) and how they are going to keep.Madison safe. The stalker is stepping up his/her game, and the escalation is a doozy. Remember, too, they are dealing with the corporate spy. The question is, are the spy and the stalker the same person or separate entities? Who is the stalker? Who is the spy? READ AND FIND OUT. I think you will be surprised.
The ending for this book will make you cry and feel all the love that surrounds this beautiful woman and her men. Thank you, C.S. Berry, for a wonderful series. I have enjoyed it in all of its forms so far. I look forward to your next venture.

Another awesome book book by C. S. Berry. Madison and her men’s journey picks up right where book 3 left off. We of course get all the steamy scenes galore but we also get more of of their relationship falling into place for them. Their foundation gets a small crack into it but they do work through it together and it gets fixed as other things happen. As they get closer to finding out who the stalker is we get a plot twist that I was not expecting. Things are a little touch and go there but they make it through. I loved how Madison holds her guys accountable when they mess up and doesn’t just roll over letting things slide. As they get to their HEA, things fall into place for them and the epilogues of their future were everything. Everything thing tied up into its rightful bow and I loved every bit of it. I am honestly so glad this series was published and can’t wait to jump into her other series she has on Vella.

I was right with my guess (see #3 for the spoilers) and at least in this one, they had more of the plot and not as much sex cuz hello, there has been at least one person murdered, multiple attempts on more lives, break ins, the stalker is getting closer and closer, these five people need to keep it in their pants and quit f'ing around!

What a great way to end this series!
I'm so happy that we finally find out who Madison's stalker is. And while I had a feeling, there were definitely moments that I second guessed myself.
The steam was still off the charts hot, but even better was the dialogue between each of them. This final book had a lot more substance to it, probably because it was the last one, but I appreciated that.
I love the way CS wrapped everything up for us, and seeing the glimpse of these five in the future made me smile like the cheshire cat. As I've said before, this is a serial read, not a series, so you have to read these books in order or you will be lost. If you love reverse harem / why choose romances, this is the story for you!

******Very minor spoilers. Tried to keep it as vague as possible. I dont want to ruin the ending. Read it now you won't be dissapointed I promise!!!******
What an amazing ending to this series!!! Finally the stalker is revealed and every single insident came to light. Who knew the web of accomplices there was. Amazing spicy scenes where you can feel the love between the characters come to full bloom. There was some trust issues and sadly had to be worked through. But you can't blame them due to the history of relationships we know of. The ending OMG what a beautiful epilogue! Im so sad to see this series come to a close. But CS Berry did this series justice with the ending. Cant wait to see CS Berry's other novels become book form!!!

I'm giving this book, and the series as a whole, 5 stars. I enjoyed going on this journey with the characters and watching their bonds grow. It turns out that I was right on who the stalker was. I figured it out pretty early on, but will also admit that there were a few times my conviction about it wavered. I really love the characters of this series, Blake and Seth are tied for top slot with Coop and Noah coming in close behind, and the mystery of her stalker really added the extra umph that the story needed to make it amazing. I loved it, but I still think some of the steamy scenes could have been shortened or done away with all together and the story would have still been a hit. Either way, I loved it and look forward to reading more from this author!

*ARC review* C.S. Berry!!! What a way to end this rollercoaster of a story. Everything from the previous books comes to a head in this story, all while solidifying the relationships that Madison had with each of the guys. The drama leading up to the reveal of the stalker was a twist that I didn't see coming, even with my suspicions about who it was throughout the entire series. Amongst all of this, there was still steam, passion, love, and friendship, which played a part in me falling more in love with these characters and absolutely swooning throughout the epilogue and HEA at the end. I'm so glad to have had an opportunity to read this series, and I'm so excited to see what else C.S. Berry has in store for the future!

She really hit her stride in this one in terms of story, and character development…oh and the sex was still pretty off the charts.
I’m trying to stop judging all romance novels against some “great American novel” standard. Do I need the characters to constantly wax poetic about how “complete” they feel with this person or that person?
Not really.
But does the story have an interesting enough plot, a couple or group I can root for, romance, sex, and a satisfying ending? If it checks all of those boxes for me then I’m in. And overall this series as a whole definitely had enough going on for it that I basically devoured it in less than two weeks.
As always, do with this review what you will, it’s all just my opinion. Enjoy (or don’t, it’s up to you)!

I liked the suspense with the stalker and the answers you get in this book, but I hate the ending.
Madison had career goals and relationship goals with her guys and I think it is really nice that she succeeded. But then she suddenly has six kids. Why does every book always have to end in pregnancy/kids? That is not the ultimate life goal of every woman. I really wished it would have ended with her only succeeding her career and relationship goals and the rest of her future left open.
Also, I love smut but I skipped some in this because I also craved some of the plot instead only the smut hahaha

This was a pleasant surprise. The development of Madison into motherhood was a bit unexpected, but all of the men definitely gave off the air of wanting to be fathers. The growth in everyone's trust, as well as fears, of relationships was completely valid. Each of the MMCs found something in Madison that they hadn't found before because she had to work hard for the life she created. Madison was able to find pieces of herself in the others that she missed out on. Very good spice scenes and Patrick being the stalker was obvious, although throwing Andrea along with the others in was a good stepping stone.

This one was definitely better than the third one of the series as far as having an actual plot and storyline to it.
The series overall is good but it is heavy on the spice and light on the substance. I think that the entire series could have spent a bit more time on the non-sexual parts of the relationships between the main characters.
The whole stalker plot line finally makes some progress as does the corporate espionage issue. These were kind of skimmed over very briefly in the previous books but you do get all of your answers by the end.
The epilogues were super great to read and showed more of the relationships and their bonds well.

Perfect Ending!
Wow! This one was just as good as the first three, and it wrapped up their story perfectly. I know that this is a series that I will reread often when I start missing Madison, Blake, Seth, Coop, and Noah. I loved that it kept me second-guessing myself when it came to who I thought the stalker was until the big reveal. C. S. Berry is one of my favorite authors, and I've loved every book I've read so far. If you haven't tried one of her books yet, you should, especially if you enjoy reverse harem. You won't be disappointed! Make sure you read the first three of the series before starting this one.

We definitely saved the best for last, this book was sooo darn good! This was the intense, spicy and perfect ending to this amazing series! We picked up with Madison still in danger. Who is her stalker? How much danger is she truly in? Why are there so many people against this group…this group we love. Then we have her men Seth, Blake, Coop and Noah protecting her and loving her with all they have. These four men are madly in love with Madison and will literally do anything for her. Madison loves these men and has a different and unique relationship with each of them…but together these five are magic. The chemistry in this book was so spicy it almost melted my kindle. This was an intense fast paced page turner that I could not put down. This book answered all of our questions and so much more. This series has been soo good. I have truly enjoyed every character, every book and every word. The characters all had great depth and told an amazing story. A story about love, making your own family and everything in between. I’m sad to see this end but can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

What can I say about the 4th and final book from CS Berry's Private Listing? I am so happy to have gotten the read this entire series and yet so very sad it's over. I fell in love with Madison, Seth, Blake, Cooper and Noah. Became invented in the plot and delighted in amount of spice between them. I also love the supporting characters of Hope, Sara and Kayla - would love to see stories on them! I am eager to read more by CS Berry and hopefully her other series (especially Untoched), will soon make it to book form.

This book is pure smutt pure 🔥 with amazing FMC the MMC and the side characters
I loved the guys and the FMC. I love how she was not apologetic for any of her "needs" and they guys were so wonderful. This book or should I say this author writes the def of smut. It's basically all smutt with little plot. I absolutely loved both epilogs. I probably would of gave it 5 stars if it was more plot. More around their work and life. It kinda got boring of just reading smut non stop. But still loved it.

Aye-yai-yai! Is this ever hottt!
Stalker beware! Madison's four protectors are there for her!
A highly emotional ride with twists and turns! Buckle your seat belt, because this ending may have your heart in your throat!
C.S. Berry was introduced to me with this series and I know I'll be back for more of her stories! I'm checking out her backlist now.
How can I not when she writes strong male characters like Blake, Seth, Cooper, and Noah?! I'm totally swooning!

I can’t believe we’re finally at the end of this series! This series, which does need to be read in order, was my introduction to C.S. Berry, and I can’t believe she not only made me love Madison but also each one of the guys. Noah was and will always be my favorite, but Blake, Seth, and Cooper are all tied for second place.
Before I even started reading, I had to take a deep breath because I knew Madison was about to stress me out… and she did not disappoint. I will say I wasn’t expecting so many people to be “un-alived.”
We pick back up with Madison’s stalker still on the loose, and the guys are all still dealing with their feelings for her and what that looks like moving forward.
Even though this series stresses me out so much, I loved every minute of it! I loved how Madison developed individual relationships with each of the guys while still enjoying them as a group. Finding out who the stalker was actually surprised me; I won’t say who I thought it was, but I want y’all to read this book and find out. Also, I’m glad she got some friends because, lord, she needed a break from the guys.
I absolutely loved the epilogue set in the future—I literally smiled the whole time I read it!

I originally found this story through Vella and being about to reread it with the updates has been wonderful. I was worried knowing the stalker would take away from it but it actually let me see the little clues I missed from before.
I love how you see Madison and her relationship with the guy grow even under the strain of a stalker. It's not perfect but they all fight to keep it because that is how they love.
This was a beautiful HEA.
