My new job is more than I bargain for.

Four demanding, billionaire bosses.

Four gorgeous men who make me feel more than I could ever imagine.

If I sign on the dotted line, they say I’ll be theirs.

Theirs to protect. Theirs to have. Theirs to dominate.

New apartment. New wardrobe. Everything I could possibly need they take care of.

Looking across the conference room table, my choice is already made for me.

The ink isn’t even dry before I let myself fall.

Watch 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. Watch Me is the first book in the Private Listing series, an expanded edition.

I received this book as a Goodreads giveaway winner. This is my honest opinion.

The book starts out promising. I love a strong, sexy female lead. The guys sound hot, I’m thinking it’s going to be a sexy, fun adventure.

I was wrong. The girl becomes doormat c*umdumpster for 4 men who rotate through her daily. She completely loses her back bone. I fear for her vaginal microbiome. It’s completely unrealistic but I suppose that may be the point. The sm*t became repetitive.

I would read the next one if I want some book p0rn but otherwise won’t be picking it up.

DNF @37%

This started out interesting, but then was kind of boring and I kept skipping paragraphs. No character growth or any real relationship building, just went straight to the spicy business. So I had to DNF. I might come back, I might not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Too long. Don't tell my mom I read this. Absolutely filthy. I ate up the beginning. I was looking for a pallet cleanser. There is not enough plot for the length of this book. First in a series. There is a cliffhanger. Not an engaging cliffhanger. I got this for free. Won't be continuing.

I was uncertain at the beginning, but by the end i started counting down the days until the next book is out.

It has a lot of spice, the start feeling more like a erotic novel than a romance, but then the plot picked up and their relationship developed beyond the physical, seeing how they care for each other and want want is best for her, protecting her from all the threats that suddenly show up around her, made it a great read

The spice is extra 🔥 🥵!

I was expecting the heat, but I was not expecting the amount of heat.

Madison goes to an interview and comes out with not one, not 2 but 4! You beard right, 4 incredibly available and willing men, who, well I can't really say 🫢

I dont even know which one of them I like the most yet. The cliffhanger was so high that it left me reeling. Ready to grab a parachute to dive into the next book when it's ready.

10/10

This is the second time reading Private Listing, but the first time was in Vella. Now it’s nice to have large chunks of the story and can read straight through.

I love Madison and her men, especially how protective they are of her. What happens when things escalate and she is in danger? Will the guys be able to protect her mind, body, and soul?

I can’t wait to get the next book.

The only thing I would have liked to seen done differently was this being in two books instead of four.

Smut: 6/5
Plot: 2/5
So I guess we make that a 3/5 overall?🤣
We are here for one reason and one reason only. Mission accomplished. Might I read the others? Only if/when I have some extra time in my busy reading schedule to squeeze it in.

I wanted to like this book so much more. I really really did. I have been looking forward to this one, as well, and yet I have been so disappointed. This was just... bland.

It started interesting, but then things just got boring. It turned into all sex, all the time. There was to character growth (heck, there wasn't really hardly any background given, either). The relations with the guys, for the most part, just seems clinical, without any emotions behind it. It just feels... cold between them.

I know nothing about these guys, and they don't really act like they have much affection for her, either. The agreement they offered to her felt very distant, as well, and the arrangement has nothing behind it, other than they just want sex, and that's it.

I'm hoping things warm up a bit, as I will go ahead and continue to the next book. I'm hoping there is a little more going on with that one other than sex all day every day.

Edit to add after finishing series:
Can someone explain to me why Private Listing was the name of the series? It wasn't mentioned, and it doesn't have anything to do with anything in these books. It sounds like the author had to come up with something, and just threw that in as a placeholder, and forgot about it.

Started reading PL Watch Me, at 9:42 this morning. Sitting here at 7:28 pm, wondering why I am completely surrounded by no book 2, PL Bind Me. This book was hot, Hot, HOT! I can not wait for the rest of the series. I need to go take a cool shower and lament I do not have 4 devastatingly smart, handsome, sexy bosses in my life. Thank you, C.S. Berry for bringing my RH fantasy to book.

It was somewhat disappointing. I've read other books with a similar setup—four male characters and one female—but in those, the male characters had distinct personalities. Here, aside from their appearances and preferences, they all felt the same. Additionally, there wasn't much of a plot beyond the sex scenes. I'm hoping the second book improves.

i’m all for smut but there was so much in this book that i started skimming. i really wish there was more plot in it because the small parts that we did get were actually pretty decent! i will continue the series because i’m curious to see if it gets any better.

This one was spicy! I loved it! This one is a perfect pallet cleanser! If you need something thats not super heavy, or dark, or emotional, but yet has plot and keeps you pulled in this will definitely be the one to choose. This was perfect! Honestly I will be coming back to this author over, and over again now that I know this is how she writes. She honestly gave me enough of everything for me to be happy, but not enough to break me. Honestly PERFECT for pallet cleansing, and god knows I need those OFTEN!

This steamy Contemporary Romance is book 1 in the Private Listing Series. The romance in this book is a why choose. The book is extremely spicy! The spice is deliciously descriptive as well. The book moves quickly following Madison as meets Seth, Blake, Cooper, and Noah. They give her an offer, one that her body is begging her not to refuse. She has two weeks. Two weeks to decide what she wants. She might already know what she wants, her body does, her heart might too. This book is romance filled, and filled with even more spice. The plot really picks up towards the end where the book is going to leave you on a cliff hanger, which will have you instantly reaching for book 2 because youve got to have more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a hot series

I read this series when it was a serial on Kindle Vella and it caught my full attention. This is a fast burn with a TON of heat, and just enough plot to keep it from becoming monotonous. This is a story about a woman really finding herself, figuring herself out and learning how to be powerful and vulnerable. She does this with the help of four best friends that believe they want nothing more than a casual relationship (Assistant with benefits situation) but quickly find themselves obsessing over the fmc.

☑ RH
☑ MFMMM (no MM)
☑ Stalker, BDSM exploration, basically all the kinks in this one

*ARC review* This was my 1st book by CS Berry and it will absolutely not be my last! This story hit the ground running and I was immediately sucked into wanting to know more about not only Maddison, but all 4 guys as well. Some parts were fast moving, and the drama build up had me so keyed up that I nearly exploded when I got to the end and hit the cliffhanger!! This why-choose, billionaire workplace romance hit all the tropes, and I'm positively salivating waiting for the next book!

I read this on Vella so *spoiler alert* I know this is smut.

S. M. U. T.

When people say reading romance is basically p0rn, they are unequivocally wrong. *Except* if they read this book.

I don’t know why I gravitate to it because I skip so many sex scenes. But the plot that is there, buried under floggers, handcuffs, and butt plugs, is a pretty good story. If it were more of a focus, I think more people would enjoy this/these books.

Maybe that’s why I came back to it and bought it. That and Noah.

*Ugh. I just finished and the storyline I was skipping the sex scenes for was, like, the chapter before a cliffhanger.

I don’t think I can do anymore. Maybe letter.

I mean 🤣 we all know why we’re here. Zero plot and all spice. And it was good spice.

The plot is questionable at best. The FMC continues to say how she hates missing work but misses like….A LOT of work 🤣 one of these is enough for me. Even the cliffhanger ending won’t rope me into reading another one.

I'm so hooked!

I loved how each of the main men was so different! They were perfectly matched with Madison. Oh man.. the spice in this book! So so so good! I totally loved how each of the MMCs had a different preference which kept the spice varied.

This story ends on a cliffhanger and I'm debating on if I want to keep reading on Kindle Vella or not. I don't want to wait for the next book to come out!

Spice level is definitely a 5!!

Madison needs a job because she's running out of money fast after graduation college with her MBA. She gets an interview with 4 very hot guys who own and run the company she'd be working for. When she's offered the job it comes with some extra perks like an apartment and sex with her very hot bosses!

I love Why Choose/Reverse Harem romances and most of time they are full of just sex and while this one is full of a lot of hot, steamy and spicy sex scenes, it also has a plot to it and I could not put the book down. This first book didn't get into a lot of the background of the four guys, hopefully that will happen in the coming books. We know a lot about Madison, the FMC, and we know some about the guys pasts but not nearly enough, but this book was just a teaser.

I cannot wait for book 2 to see how this story continues to unfold. It left us on a cliffhanger and now I cannot wait to see what happens next....

2.5⭐️5🌶️ I was really looking forward to a good why choose book. And when I read the description I thought “this has to be it”! So, naturally I started reading it and there seemed to be a little bit of a plot?!?!? A “little”. Until I got further into the book and all it really was was sex. Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. No real character building. No real relationship building between any of them. No real moments to make you relate in any way 😢 It was basically porn on pages with every scene ending with one or all of them “filling” her. The girl got “filled” 8 times a day… at least 😆 The ending leaves you with a little cliffhanger, but for me, I was unful-“filled” 🤪

This is just my perspective. I did pre-order the 2nd book. Maybe I will like it more? You never know.

The way I went into this thinking it was going to be a nice maybe somewhat spicy read... yeah absolutely not. This took me weeks to read because of the spice (iykyk) I know now that it originally was a serial and I felt like it didn't read.. clunkily? if that makes sense? I felt like it read like the spice was added in serially, like making sure if you got idk like two chapters you still got a spicy scene and it may sound like I am saying that as a bad thing but trust and believe I am not. This is now the spiciest book on my shelf and one of the cutest. The actual story line was interesting too, trying to figure out who is the bad guy and who is getting caught in the cross hairs was a good break in-between the spice

Watch Me by C.S. Berry definitely leans heavy on the spice and if that’s all you’re looking for, it delivers. But I found myself wishing it had stuck to being smut filled without trying to force a weak plot. Madison’s relationship with four men were hot and intense, and yet after every session somehow, she’s bouncing back like she’s made of rubber. Realistically, I expected at least one chapter dedicated to her just… recovering. This is book 1 out of 4 but I am tapping out here. If you’re in the mood for spicy smut scenes and aren’t too concerned with a believable storyline, this might still be worth the read.

The first half of this is written pretty well and it seems like the plot could have been really good. But then enter the sex, and that’s it. Very little plot and just sex. I get she has four men to satisfy, but I found myself noticing the plot seemed totally abandoned to focus on the spicy scenes so much so that even some of the way the FMC talked seemed different. Just not for me.

The beginning started out promising. Then it just became a full f*ck fest with no plot. These men must not have a refractory period because they end up c*ming 3 times in one scene. The drama with her roommates makes no sense. Sad to say I won't be continuing.

Private Listing: Watch Me by C.S. Berry is the first book in the new series. It's a Billionaire, Bosses/Employee, BDSM, Relationship Contract, Reverse Haram/Why Choose, with a dash of thriller/suspense. C.S. Berry will have every reader's imagination going wild, biting your lip, and in desperate need of a cold shower before it's over. She creates a story with a FMC whose put relationships and fun on hold for college and her MBA, but now she's ready to start her career and 4 MMC ready to not only give her the opportunity of lifetime at their company but meet every need she could ever have and destroy anyone that would dare to harm her. The dynamic pull, chemistry and emotional connection C.S. Berry creates between the characters makes this book so much more than just a spicy romance. The details and storyline created, draws readers into the world between the pages that feels real and not fiction. The book will have readers obsessed from chapter one and unable to put it down until the very last sentence. Now I know why readers often wait until a series is finished before starting, because book 1 will have you hook and in suspense and agony until the release of book 2!

Madison graduated college and is ready to find the right job to help her kick off her career. She's just scraping by, surviving on ramen and her roommate is less than dependable. She's all set for her interview at Morrigan Technology Group, her outfit isn't perfect, but with her budget she has limited option. When she exits the elevator, she is unprepared for the changes that are coming her way. The job isn't just to be the executive assistant to one person tall, broad and gorgeous man, but 4 equally gorgeous co-owners of the business. Madison isn't really seeing a downside outside of the overwhelming attraction she feels towards the men and trying to figure out how she's going to keep it professional. This job opportunity is just too important. Seth, Cooper, Blake and Noah have all known each other since high school. After college they all felt it just made sense to start up a company together and the rest is history. Each man has his own personality, identity and preferences. When Blake conducted the phone interview with Maddison, she was more than just good on paper. She was intelligent and could just be what they were looking for, but she'll need to come in for an in-person interview to know for sure. Seth, Copper, Blake and Noah were just as unprepared for Maddison as she was for them. Everyone can feel the spark, so now is as good a time as any to discuss the additional condition of the job. The offer is to be involved with all 4 men, to be shared not just at the office, but in the bedroom too. They will do a two-week trial focused her learning her new job and then decide if they want to try the additional conditions. At any point she can back out and say no, but they ask if she is willing to try. The first week starts and no one can seem to keep their hands to themselves. Things are going well until someone from Maddison's past that she thought she escaped is now a new client for the company she works for. He's treated Maddison like prey before and it's not a game she is willing to play. What Maddison doesn't know but soon finds out though is that Blake wasn't joking when he warned about being only theirs, but that the men are deadly protective of what's theirs. Will Maddison keep an open mind and be willing to explore all the possibilities these 4 men are offering her? Will the guys rush things too quickly and scare Maddison off? Read Private Listing: Watch Me to find out if Seth, Cooper, Blake and Noah have found their perfect match with Maddison or if something lurking in the shadows will get to her first.

Watch Me is the first book in the Private Listing series by C.S. Berry. This series was actually the first one I read on Kindle Vella (over a year ago) and I am so glad the author decided to release it as an eBook on Kindle.

Watch Me follows recent college grad Madison Harris who ends up taking a job at Morrigan Technology Group run by four hot as sin men, Cooper Graham – chief technical officer, Noah Burns – chief financial officer, Seth Hart – chief executive officer & Blake Wagner – Vice President. What I loved about this book is that the men fall first, and they fall hard. The chemistry between Madison and the four men is evident from chapter 1. I love that you can feel the chemistry bleeding from the page. I also really enjoyed the storyline and while it wasn’t necessarily the focal point of book 1 it was still really interesting. I actually liked that the spice was at the forefront of the book (which isn’t necessarily my cup of tea), but dang does it work well here. Sometimes I struggle with the spice in books that have multiple MMC’s, because it always feels like one character gets more time than another, but I definitely didn’t feel like it with this book. I enjoyed the group scenes a lot and felt like all the characters had the same number of interactions with the FMC, but also enjoyed the one-to-one interactions that they had. While we don’t get a ton of relationship building (because they fall so hard so fast) you can see the foundations being set. I was curious how the author would break this series up from the chapters on Vella and thought she did a fantastic job and book 1 ends on a perfect note.

I am really excited for book 2 and can’t wait to see how the storyline progresses and differs from the version I read on Vella. If you��re a huge fan of spice forward and MMC’s who fall first I highly recommend you give Watch Me a try.
