Boss Me

Private Listing #3

by C.S. Berry

I might be falling deeper in love with my four protectors, but my stalker is getting closer.

Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper are mine–even if no one else can know.

I’ve never known jealousy until now.

I’ve never felt claimed until them.

They’ve done everything in their power to make me feel cherished and adored.

It was supposed to be one night of glamor surrounded by my men until it became so much more.

One wrong move. One distraction. And everything will come crashing down.

Boss Me is a Why Choose billionaire romance with heroes who will do anything to protect and pleasure their heroine, originally published as part of the #1 Private Listing series on Kindle Vella. Boss Me is the third book in the Private Listing series, an expanded edition.

I LOVE THIS BOOK !♡

[Candace P. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Boss Me is book 3 of the series and I really loved that this book focuses more on building the relationships between the main characters.

There were a few unexpected twists and turns, that made the book hard to put down!

The spice is pretty epic and I love that the author mixes up the scenes. There are plenty of group scenes, but there are also some one on one scenes that I loved seeing.

Now that I am reviewing after having read the whole series, this book was eye opening. i'm not going to spoil what happens but looking at this from a unhazy view point (im just rereading the nonspicy sections for my review) I can see even better how everything was set up for the future and the different things that I didn't realize until later, when it was all spread out in the book in you know the bad guy monologe/ the person realizing everything they had missed part. I loved seeing the guys interact with other women, obviously not fully cheating or anything, but I am one of those crazy people who loves the cheating/sharing books but anyway, seeing their indifference or disgust with another woman versus their devotion and infatuation/love with Madison really helped me and her see that they truly do care for her. It also was fun to see Cooper and Madison go public and the different ways the other guys took not being able to claim her publicly, made the private moments even better. Again the spice was out of this world. Truly took me such a long time to read cause... I am only one person and do not have the same body as madison clearly has

Boss Me is Book 3 in the Private Listing series, and I genuinely loved how this installment shifted its focus toward building and deepening the relationships between the main characters. Don’t get me wrong—there is still a lot of smut in this book (almost too much at times), but somehow it all feels earned and completely worth it.

What really stood out to me was the emotional growth. The connections between Madison and her men feel stronger, more intentional, and more layered than before. You can see how the bonds are evolving, not just physically but emotionally as well, which made this book more satisfying than the previous ones in a different way.

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE.
You must read the first two books before jumping into this one, or you’ll be completely lost.

Reading Order:

Private Listing: Watch Me

Private Listing: Bind Me

Private Listing: Boss Me (this review)

The darker elements of the story continue as well. Madison is dealing with her stalker, and that aspect of the plot becomes genuinely unsettling at times. It adds tension and weight to the story, and honestly, it made me feel for her even more. She’s been through a lot, and this book doesn’t shy away from showing how deeply it affects her.

And of course—her men? Still incredibly hot. Protective, dominant, and intense, they remain a major highlight of the series.

Overall, Boss Me delivers on spice and substance, offering a stronger emotional core while keeping the heat cranked all the way up. If you’ve enjoyed the series so far, this book is absolutely worth continuing for. 🔥

*Boss Me is book 3 in the Private Listing series and can not be read as a standalone. Watch Me (book 1) and Bind Me (book 2) must be read first as each ends in a cliffhanger leading to Boss Me, which will also end in a cliffhanger*

Madison and her 4 bosses are all falling for each other, they have to put their feelings at arms length to protect their image from the public for the sake of their business as well as protect Madison from her stalker. While Madison is between feeling claimed and jealous, the guys are struggling to admit their feelings as well.

While Bind Me (book 2) was mostly just spice, this book circled back to Madison's stalker with more plot. On top of worrying about the stalker, Madison and the guys are also battling through their feelings for each other but having to be seen on dates in public to not ruin their business. While I love that Madison finds true girl friends in this book, my heart breaks for her watching the guys 'date' in public. Not only that, every time I think I figure out the stalker, it goes in another direction of clues. I can't believe the cliffhanger we're left with again, but I'm looking forward to the answer since the next book is the last!

GET READY FOR ALL THE FEELS

The penultimate book in the series gives us the ultimate emotions as Madison and the Men of Morrigan Technology Group deal with the ghosts of their past and prepare for a future where they are no longer involved in each other’s lives.

THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE. The previous books Private Listing : Watch Me and Private Listing : Bind Me should be read before engaging with this book to follow along with the timeline of events.

I absolutely smiled and laughed the most so far with Boss Me. Most of it is in part to Cooper’s antics and mouth, but also with the introduction of Blake’s sister and Noah’s date.

This story also gave me all the happy tears and swoony vibes as epiphanies left and right arose. I appreciate that C.S. had each guy approach their feelings different ways based on their family dynamic and how they were raised.

And don’t even get me started on the SMUT. Oof… this definitely has to be one of the spiciest books I’ve ever read! 🥵 Holy holes… LOL I’m just going to leave it at that because anything more would definitely spoil one of the hottest scenes in reverse harem romance. Just like Madison, I cannot get enough of these horny men. 😂

I applied to receive an advanced reader’s copy from the author and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Cassandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Done with book 3, and it is getting better. There was more plot and action in this book. I am still enjoying the story so far, as well.

Don't get me wrong, it is still mostly sex all the time, but at least it has been toned down, ever so slightly. I liked some things actually happening, as well.

The emotion is finally starting to get there! The restaurant near the end really worked for me, I could feel everything from the two of them, and I felt the connection, finally.

One thing that has been bothering me throughout these 3 books, and will most likely be there in the last one, is there are times that the dialog comes across as a bad porn. It just doesn't feel natural or organic. It pulls me out of the story when it happens. I try to just gloss over it in order to get back into things.

With so much unnecessary sex going on, I find myself skimming through the sexy times, anymore. It just gets repetitive, and I want more story to happen. I like to have the sex WITH my story, not AS my story.

I will be continuing to the last book very soon (as soon as the library gets a free copy). I can't wait for this story to finish. I will put additional thoughts for the whole series in that final book review.

What do you when your stalker gets closer. In C.S. Berry third book in the Private Listing, "Boss Me" Madisons stalker sends a present for her at the office. A package with the dress she was wearing on a "playfully" HOT night when it was torn with many pictures of her wearing that dress from college to current with a notes. There was also a picture of Cooper kissing her in the lobby with a threatening note towards the guys. The men are pissed and wanting to protect Madison. Then there is the feelings each of them is trying to hide from each other. Madison feeling how there's a time limit, the others feeling scared that there developing feelings for her. But each wanting to be there for her. With how they are with her, wanting to take care of her, is so sweet and romantic. Besides being sweet and romantic there is also such passion. Hot scenes from tender and sweet ro rough and passionate. Absolutely amazing read. Each book just keeps getting better and better. I was drawn in from the beginning all the way to the end. I highly recommend this book and series.

I was given an advanced reader copy of this book for my honest review.

[Heather Blesener · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 3 immediately picks up where book 2 left off, and Blake, Noah, Coop, and Seth are just as overly protective of Madison as they have been throughout the series, even more so now that Madison's stalker has continually upped the stakes (can I just say that I cannot WAIT to see if my prediction of who her stalker is is correct??). In the midst of all of the craziness surrounding her life, Madison discovers that she has developed feelings for her men. But how do you tell your four bosses that you have developed feelings for them when your "relationships" with them are just supposed to be mutually beneficial while you are their assistant?

Y'all. I didn't think that the spice could be any spicier, but C.S. Berry said "hold my drink" and threw it ALL out there in this one. The scenes were pure perfection and left me wanting more every.single.time. (The scene with Noah and Coop...IYKYK 🥵).

This installment of the Private Listing series had the perfect mix of plot and spicy, and I cannot wait to see how the series concludes next month! Grab your snacks, settle in for the long haul, and start reading this series now so you're caught up before book 4 releases!

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just when you think things can't get any hotter with Seth, Blake, Cooper, Noah and Madison, CS proves us wrong!

Book 3 picks up where book 2 leaves off, so fair warning: if you haven't read books 1 and 2, you NEED to in order to understand what is going on. This isn't just a series, but an actual serial that must be read in order.

As feelings between the 5 grow deeper, so does the realization that Madison's stalker is getting bolder trying to get to her. Every time the guys think they have a lead, something throws them in the complete opposite direction.

What I love about this book is that it is a total continuation of the first two. There are no major time hops, so we arent missing anything. The steam is off the charts hot, and the feelings developing between Madison and each of her four guys is so sweet and endearing.
That being said, I do wish there was a little more of the plot without as much intimacy. Don't get me wrong, I love a great s*x scene, but it felt like there were chapters where that was all it was. That wont stop me from reading the rest though! I have to see how it all plays out. Will Madison get her guys in the end? Stay tuned!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author or review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the third book in the Private Listing series. You need to read Watch me and Blind Me before diving in to this book. Madison is still living live with her four bosses. They are all falling so hard for each other. However, they have an image to protect and can't afford to ruin their reputations over something that they fear people wouldn't understand. We can't forget that Madison also has a stalker. But things are not perfect and there is some jealously and struggles to admit their feelings. We get a lot more of Madison's stalker in this book than the last one. I love that we get more of the stalker and also on a good note Madison having a solid group of girlfriends. I don't know that I could deal with seeing someone I was falling for out on dates with other women for the sake of public image. I loved all the clues that we get and I can't wait to figure out who this stalker is once and for all.

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up

This is the third book in the private listing series, and let me tell you I’ve never had four people who have irritated me more!! however, I literally couldn’t put the book down once I started reading, the amount of times I scream at my kindle for Madison just close her legs and go to bed like girl I know you are wore out and tired!!

But I will say in this book, I actually did enjoy her one on one time with each of her men, of course Noah is my fave but Coop is a very close second! Like Madison I also love Blake and Seth aka Daddy! and I’m glad she finally got some friends, because those boys need to get up off of her for a minute and let her rest! I loved Kayla and her lack of filter and I’m very intrigued by Sara and whatever situation she has going on.

On another and the last note, I am a little frustrated that we still don’t have any answers. We don’t know who the stalker is or we who the business spy is… like come on give us something please!! the last book comes out in August waiting and hoping I get out answers I need!

[SizzlingSpoilers BookReviewer · Rating 3 out of 5]

4/5 🌶️

Ok I started fast forward/reading because I just wanted to know who the damn stalker was and there is a sex scene every other page (not exaggerating in many instances). In this book, we are introduced to many more characters including female characters that are fake girlfriends and past girlfriends which don't help keep things straight. And the guys keep saying they need to give her holes a break but they don't and she insists she isn't sore. Impossible, there are four penises of well endowed men she is by now, getting filled in every hole except the belly button. Again, I ask, how is she not sore? Take a damn break! Men, get a fleshlight or something and you are lucky there is only one stalker who is blackmailing or videoing you. Ridiculous but now I am only one book away from finding out who the stalker is. I say it is their long time lawyer who she used to babysit his kids for.

[Cen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoy the characters in this series. This one had slightly more plot to it than the last one, but still way too many sex scenes. I would have loved to see the characters get to know each other better and have conversations to that effect. There were some sweet awww... moments between the characters at least. The stalker plot is good and mysterious. I think I know who it might be, but I will have to wait and see in the next book to see if I am right. I had been waffling between a couple of characters, but I have zoned in on the one I think it is, though not entirely sure of this person's motive yet. I wish there were more intrigue with the mole who is trying to sabotage the company. The storyline with Seth & Elizabeth dating was just annoying af. I hope Sara gets her own book, I really liked her.

[Trish · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 3rd book of CS Berry's Private Listing is a wicked delight to read. The continuation of Private Listing's Watch Me (book 1), Bind Me (book 2), we get to follow Madison, Seth, Noah, Blake, and Cooper as they continue to develop their relationship. There is a great deal of intrigue as someone is stalking Madison and has been for some time as well as threats against the company developed by the men. Despite the chaos the five of them work to make a stronger relationship and rely on the love that is growing between Madison and each of them. I really enjoy the story and CS Berry does not disappoint as an author. I look forward to the 4th book Tease Me to finish the story. PS the spicy scenes should be rated on the the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) scale measure at the 100,000–500,000!

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm giving this book 5 stars. I enjoyed the characters, watching their bonds grow, and the overall journey. I'm 99% sure that I've figured out who the stalker is. As I said about the last book, there were a few possible suspects, but I'm fairly certain I've figured it out. Still have to wait for the last book of the series to discover if I'm right. I really love the characters of this series, and the mystery of her stalker really adds a bit of excitment and danger to the story. I love it, but I still think some of the steamy scenes could have been shortened and the story still would have been a smash hit. Either way, I look forward to reading the rest of this series and more from this author!

[Sharing My Book Boyfriends · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can this series get any hotter? Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper are so protective of Madison. They are all devoted to making her happy. Madison has a special bond with each of the guys and can't imagine her life without them in it, although she sometimes wonders if she is enough for them. As they explore fantasies with Madison, they test her boundaries and take her to new heights. Unfortunately, they can't lose focus on her safety because Madison's stalker still has not been found yet. They would do anything to keep her safe, while trying not to hurt her in the process. Madison has become extremely important to them, and they can't imagine a life without her. Can Cooper, Noah, Seth, and Blake continue to protect Madison from her stalker, and from others that threaten their business?

[Susan Pezza · Rating 5 out of 5]

Boss Me picks up right where Bind Me left off.

Madison is still dealing with her stalker and is also getting ready for the gala and her date with Coop and going out with the men and being seen with them dating other women. She's jealous and doesn't want to make waves and understands why they are doing this, not just to protect themselves and their business, but to protect herself and her future.

Problem is now there are feelings involved, feelings she can't voice to them because she knows these men will not want to keep her forever even though she's falling for them, but what kind of future can she have with them?

Things get complicated not just at the gala, but after as things heat up with Madison and her men. Emotions run high and her stalker gets closer and bolder.

The spice is just as high, but the story and plot is just as great as ever! I love a great why choose trope with lots of spice but I also want plot and story and CS Berry delivers with each book!

Boss Me is the third book of the Private Listing series and can’t be read as a standalone but (these need to be read in order). Boss Me picks up where Bind Me left off and we get more into the plot of the series. We get some more hints into who Madison’s stalker is…I have a suspicion and I can’t wait for the next book so I can see if I’m right. All of the guys are showing Madison more of who they are and what she means to them. Again, there is a lot of spice and I found myself skimming quite a few of the steamy scenes. I am enjoying the plot and characters and can’t wait until Tease Me comes out!

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 3rd book of the series and it does not disappoint. Yes we still have the spicy galore but we also get more into how everyone is really feeling. Even though the guys priority is keeping Madison safe, things with them and Madison are definitely getting more serious. Madison may not be the only one falling and I’m loving where things are going for them all. Things with the stalker are finally headed in a good direction and we get more information that could possibly lead towards finding out who the stalker could possibly be. The cliffy we are left on leaves you wanting to know more and with so many questions. I can’t wait to see what is in store for us readers in the next book.

[Denise Heatley · Rating 4 out of 5]

*ARC review* C.S. Berry does it again with this third installment of the private Listing series. Again picking up where the last book left off, this wasted no time getting back into the thick of things. This book was more focused on Madison's connection with each guy, and I loved how much each relationship was nurtured and became deeper than they originally set out at the start. Still mystery and drama surrounding the stalker storyline, and this story had even more twists to make you want more. I'm chomping at the bit to get to the conclusion of this story and hoping for my HEA that my heart is craving.

[Belinda S. Dodson]

Does not Disappoint

Private Listing Boss Me is the third of four books in this series. It brings the relationships of Madison and her men to the forefront of the story. The questions continue as to who her stalker could be and how the guys can best protect Madison. They are also dealing with who is the spy in their own company.
This book makes you want to cry and cheer all in the same chapter as well as find a cold drink and an air conditioner. It is hot hot hot!! C.S. Berry is an incredible storyteller, especially of Reverse Harems. If you like it hot this is definitely the series for you.

The guys and Madison are back in all their sharing glory! This is the 3rd book in the series, and I feel like finally, at the very end of the book, we're starting to get some more plot and not just spice. There's finally some movement on the stalker and some inkling of other characters making a move to progress the story. This is still 85% spice and 15% plot, but I still enjoyed it. This book introduces a few new side characters, and I'm really hoping we get more of in book 4, and if not, I'm hoping they get their own set of books! I'm invested at this point!

This is my first and favorite why choose book. I read this as a whole back on Kindle Vella and so when I seen that these went into books I couldn't jump fast enough. Although I wasn't involved until the last book was released it didn't matter. The heat in these books are top of the line. The hottest to date office why choose I've ever read. Those boys Blake my type 100 and Cooper that slimy sexy man. Madison was my first FMC to love ever and she will always be number 1 no matter what genre I read. So frigging good these books. Definitely read them as a whole cause u won't want to stop anyway.

[Reading In the Red Room · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot…this book is hot! This is an intense page turning series and book three did not disappoint. Madison still has a stalker and we don’t know who it is or why….but what we do know is that her men will keep her safe no matter what. They will stop at nothing to stop whoever this is from hurting her. Her men…Blake, Coop, Noah and Seth have become everything to Madison. She has quickly fallen in love with all four of them. She has her own bond with each man but they truly mean something to her. Boy oh boy all four men feel the same way about her. Talk about a complicated relationship…that just might work. This book is intense in more ways than one. Yes, the stalking is scary but the scenes between these five! Holy cow is it hot, talk about burning hot chemistry. Those scenes are literally burning up my kindle. I am loving the twist and turns, the new characters coming into the picture to make this story more interesting. But what I really need is the conclusion! Bring on book 4!

Oh my god these books keep getting better!!!
Seriously I am eating them up
They take you on a wild ride every time (oh yeah alllll the puns intended)
As previously stated, these books ARE NOT standalone and need to be read in order. Each book also ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger (be it smaller or super shocking)

I can not get enough of their relationship. Every page I flip I don’t want it to end.
It’s filthy, it’s smutty, it’s so so hot. But the plot line is amazing too.

I love the Private Listing Series!! Boss Me is the third book of the serial. I love how close of a bond that Madison, Noah, Seth, Blake, and Copper have ❤️

I read this story on Kindle Vella, and it has been a blast reading the books with added content!

I love the mystery/suspense in the story, I kept trying to figure out who the stalker is and the corporate spy.

I have come to love these characters. The relationships between the characters continue to grow each book and it reveals all these layers that pull you in wanting to know what will happen next. The steamy moments are fantastic but the storyline holds your attention. So many guesses on who's behind the mystery. This is a must read series. The impossible decisions they are making fir the future grab your heart!
