Little more than just spice

So here's the thing... I love spice and this book has an obscene amount of it. Like OBSCENE! And it's unrealistic. There's no way she's not sore or needing a single night or day break from being railed. And there's no way that any of these men have the recovery time that Berry writes out. Also our heroine doesn't do any butt stuff prep or talk about the absolute mess that comes with constantly being FILLED repeatedly. It's hot but honestly unrealistic for a real-life-ish book. If you're like me and need more than just written p0rn then you might be disappointed here. There isn't much substance other than the s€x. And it gets a little annoying when she's bouncing between the apartment being upstairs from the office or downstairs. (I know I'm petty about that little detail but it's the little details of the story you cling to when they're few and far between the insane amount of spice.) I'm hoping the next book has more substance. I mean I think it's hot. Don't get me wrong. But there is only so much a human body can take and they're only on week 4 of even knowing each other. Hinting about "love" when it's just lust. 🙄 K I'm done.

There’s so much sex in this book that the plot gets lost. I like spicy books but this is ridiculous.

2 ★ | 4.5 🌶️ | 4.5 💧

Okay book 2 in the series…. ummmmm.. yeah.

Book 1 started out good, and I drank it all in. Book 2??? Hmmmmm it was bit of an effort to finish it through. From my understanding this series started out as a Kindle Vella. So that means it was a serialized story before being published to a complete 4 book series. I understand that serialization aims to keep readers engaged so maybe that is the reason why book felt lacking in the plot department.

I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M SAYING THIS…. but there was an obscene amount of smut. Chapter (episode) after chapter. All smut. Back to back. No character building, no growth, no plot, it was just smut paragraph after paragraph. One chapter would end and the next chapter, three words in… the FMC is itching for more.

I know it’s fiction but… no. It was just a no for me.

Cliff hanger in book 2 was better than book 1. It was more intriguing and had me questioning what happen!!!? Which means I will be reading book 3… even though… Bind Me had me questioning should o continue with this series?

Book 2 starts out with a prologue giving us a peek at the guys - be sure and give it a listen!

This book picks up right where Watch Me ended with a bang (pun…intended? Maybe?) and Madison is in shock after finding out she has a stalker. She was finally recovering from…her encounter with her old roommate and now she is in even more danger…

Madison, Blake, Seth, Noah and Cooper have started to settle into her living with them - which means there are so many spicy scenes. I do like the communication aspect between our 5 characters and how important consent is.

Yes, this book is SUPER steamy but we also start to see some deeper feelings developing too and I think that is where the audio really shines.

The full cast captures that chemistry and sprinkle of deepening emotions as we see their individual relationships really start to develop. We also have this underlying mystery of who is after Madison that gives a great sense of tension.

Yes there is a cliffhanger, but the next book is already out!

Story - 3
Narration - 5
Overall - 4

Story: Why choose and found family are two of my top 5 fave tropes! So I was super excited to get this ALC. Here is what I appreciate about book 2 in private listing. The poly aspect of this story, with strong communication. The only way multiple partners will work is with this and I feel that has been represented very well! The aftercare, and checking in with Madison regularly. Not pushing her hard limits when it came to exploring her kinks. The respect and care all made me swoon. I am also loving the mystery with trying to piece together whp the stalker and person stealing clients is.
Now for what made this a 3 star instead of 4: Madison must have the pussy of steel cause damn!! I love me some smut, group play, all the holes filled sign me up. However, this was a bit much for me. Even with each spicy scene being different, I grew a bit bored with it.

Narration: All 4 of these performances were absolutely amazing!! J.F Harding is my all time fave male narrator, I will except no criticism..... ever! Michelle Sparks is absolutely phenomenal. She was the very first female narrator I listened to in a dark romance, and I was hooked! Grayson is an amazing narrator and person, I got to meet him last year and he is so talented. Sean Masters is a fairly new narrator for me and he brings this possessive MMC to life perfectly. Then we have Troy, I have so much respect for him in the industry. Not only is he beyond talented (and I love the way he says panties) the things he does to help baby narrators is amazing! All 4 narrators 10 outta 10, did amazing with this story!!

ALC Review:
Duet Multicast Narration by Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, and J.F. Harding
3.5⭐️

Tropes:
Why Choose
Billionaire Romance
Boss/employee
Forced Proximity
Stalker danger

This story picks up from Watch Me. After being hunted by a dangerous stalker, Madison places her trust in the hands of her four powerful and protective bosses: Seth, Cooper, Blake and Noah. As the threat against her grows, so does the intensity of their connection, forcing her to confront feelings she never expected.

This started off good, but I think this had way more smut than story, and that is saying something because I do love smut. They were doing these activities for the remainder of the book, and unfortunately the plot felt like it got lost along the way.

Even when the pacing of the story slowed for me, the narrators kept me invested. Their performances added emotion and energy that made the audiobook enjoyable.

Huge thanks to Dark Star Romance and the author for this ALC!!

Oh C.S. Berry definitely has me HOOKED on this series! The questions, the suspects, and the smut 🥵 🔥 Ma'am, I need a cold shower after this 😂

I am still trying to guess who the stalker is, but these men are perfection! Alone they are potent but together? LETHAL!

This story took a few more twists, but damn... I am so invested. Who could it be? I am on edge waiting because I need to know!!!

I think Noah is my favorite, but I shouldn't pick favorites because they all have something about them that draws me in...

And OMG what was in the box?????? That cliffhanger 😭😭😭

The narrators are still a phenomenal choice for these characters and are definitely keeping me on edge because 🥵 HOT DAMN... I needed to fan myself while listening! 😂

Here's me trying to be patient for the next audiobook!

DNF & 57% because there was absolutely no plot to this. It was all sex, literally. Chapter upon chapter. She wakes up? Sex immediately. Making breakfast? Sex. Take a shower? Sex. Go to work? Sex throughout the day. Make dinner? Sex. Bed time? Group sex. Literally nothing else happens.

I swear the MMCs must be on viagra because they’re getting off at least 10 times a day. And usually they’re getting off 2-3 times during each sex scene. And for the FMC to say she’s not sore with all that sex…I’m not buying it.

Character development - FMC likes to question (internally) if this relationship is just sex and if she’s just a toy or if it could be more. This irks me because her actions absolutely support the relationship being only about sex. She doesn’t want to have chill nights with no sex, she’s constantly pouncing on them to have sex, and at one or two points in the book the MMCs even ask/suggest having a movie night and she says no. So like…what is it? Do you want to be a sex toy or do you want to get to know the MMCs? This irritated me as it happened way too often.

What happen to the FMC wanting to climb the career ladder and make a name for herself?

Similar to my first book review, I think by the time I DNF it’s been about another week, maybe? These big emotions shouldn’t be happening when they’ve known each other for a little over two weeks. Cmon.

You know, I wondered if a book could ever have too many spicy scenes and now I know the answer - it is possible. This book is just one sex scene after another and a lot of them aren’t even good. They are all “falling in love” but how can that be the case when all they do is f*€k. RHs are always unrealistic, but this ratchets things up to something completely ridiculous though it managed to make me bored with spicy scenes, so I guess that’s something.

Thank the gods above that somebody provided a series spoiler on Reddit because I can’t even bring myself to skim the other two books at this point to find out who the stalker is. They are just so bad.

Dull and unengaging from beginning to end. The story only becomes interesting at the 99% mark, just before pushing you to read the next book. The characters lack any meaningful development throughout.

Y’all know me… I don’t throw flowers at just anybody. I keep it raw, honest, and maybe a little unhinged when needed.

For this audiobook? Let’s just say… make yourself comfortable, grab your favorite distraction, and press play. 😏

But let’s be real for a second, we’re not here for the plot. If you’re looking for deep storytelling… you might want to lower those expectations just a little. This one leans heavily into the spice, and not much else.

What we are here for? The performance. And let me tell you…

DELICIOUS.

This multicast narration absolutely carries the entire experience and turns it into something addictive.

✨ Michelle Sparks : She delivers emotion with such ease. There’s a softness and control in her voice that pulls you in, but she also knows exactly when to turn up the intensity. Every line feels intentional, never flat.

✨ Grayson Owens : Smooth, confident, with a velvety, seductive, and playful tone that wraps around you and doesn’t let go. There’s an effortless charm in his delivery that makes every moment feel intimate.

✨ Sean Masters : Deep and vibrant, with a presence that commands attention. The Dom energy? It suits him perfectly. He doesn’t just perform it, he owns it.

✨ Troy Duran : That voice? Yeah… it should honestly come with a warning label. Deep, commanding, and magnetic in a way that makes even the simplest lines feel charged.

✨ J.F. Harding : There’s a beautiful sensitivity and sweetness in his performance that balances everything out. His delivery feels genuine, almost tender, adding a diff
erent layer to the experience.

Together? They create an atmosphere that completely overshadows the lack of plot. The chemistry, the pacing, the way each voice blends into the next, it’s seamless and incredibly immersive.
So no… this isn’t the audiobook you pick up for a groundbreaking story.

This is the one you press play on when you want to feel something.
And trust me… you will.

Bind Me is the second book in the Private Listing series. Please read all content warnings before listening and beware of the stunning cliffhanger. Bind Me begins where Watch Me left off. At the beginning we learn more about the guys in college. They discussed why they all made the decision to share one woman. The stalker is still terrorizing Madison. They are all starting to care more for each other-maybe even falling in love.
The duet narration by this cast was phenomenal. Michelle Sparks was magnificent as sweet, kind, sassy, intelligent Madison. I could feel her pain, fear, terror, vulnerability, yearning, strength, passion and love through her voice. Troy Duran was perfect as alpha, commanding, DOM/voyeur, boss Seth. Sean Masters was divine as grumpy, growly, intense Blake. Grayson Owens was delightful as kinky, sweet, boyfriend Cooper. J. F. Harding was spectacular as obsessed/in love, caring Noah. These five talented voice actors brought this story to life beautifully. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.
Thanks to the author and Dark Star Romance for this ALC.

Private Listing book 2

Performed by: Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran & JF Harding

Well damn! If you want a scorching hot audio book with page turning smut, look no further!
Thank you to DARKSTAR Audio for the ALC and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Book 1 left us on a little bit of a cliffy. And I thought I’d get some answers in book 2. Nope Ms Berry is now Queen of slow burn!
Our FMC is living the life with her 4, yes 4 hot af bosses who love to take care of ALL her needs. If you like more smut than plot, then stay tuned.
Our narrator’s are top notch. Each one embodies the role they have so damn well, you will need a fan while reading. I’m huge on how after care is done and Ms Berry didn’t miss on that aspect. However the MMC’s all deserve awards.
Let’s not forget our stalker. Am I the only one who doesn’t think it’s the neighbor??? 😉

This book?? Straight possessive, high-stakes chaos and I ate it up 👏🏽 4.5 with high heat

Bind Me takes everything from book one Watch Me and turns the intensity ALL the way up. The danger is real, the tension is constant, and the emotional pull between the Madison and her four men ( Blake, Noah, Seth and Cooper) Addictive.

What really pulled me in was that balance between:
👉🏾protection vs control
👉🏾fear vs desire
👉🏾wanting something you KNOW you shouldn’t have

She’s being hunted… and instead of running, she’s surrounded by four powerful men who decide she’s theirs to protect — and yeah… that quickly turns into something much deeper, darker, and way more consuming.

Each man brings something different to the dynamic, and I loved how their personalities didn’t blur together. You feel the push, the pull, the jealousy, the need… all of it.

And that emotional conflict??

Wanting all of them… knowing she shouldn’t… but not being able to stop.

Yeah. That tension HITS.

🎙️ Audiobook Experience

This cast?? STACKED.

* Michelle Sparks absolutely delivers the vulnerability and strength of Madison
* Grayson Owens ( Cooper) Sean Masters ( Blake) Troy Duran( Seth) & JF Harding ( Noah) bring that deep, commanding, alpha energy that this story NEEDS

👉🏾The multiple male narrators really elevate the “why choose” dynamic — you can FEEL the difference between each man, which makes it even more immersive.

This was intense, addictive, and exactly what I want when I pick up a why choose with suspense!

The multi-cast duet narration of this book is absolutely top-tier. The voices of Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, Sean Masters, JF Harding, and Grayson Owens will absolutely make you melt into the floor.

To be honest, I didn't feel like this book brought the plot forward at all. This book was mostly about the group getting closer to each other and learning more about each other.

The spice is really good, but it did feel a little overwhelming and a little over the top.

Madison and the guys get closer as they get to know each other better. Her stalker is still out there and haunting her.

This was a very spicy audiobook even though the spice was very good, at times it felt like almost overdone and overshadowed the plot.
I loved the multi cast narration. Sean Masters, Grayson Owens, Troy Duran, J.F. Harding and Michelle Sparks voices just turn up the heat! They are so talented and I felt they were perfectly cast and their voices worked so well together and kept you engaged.


Thank you to Dark Star Romance of the ALC of this book.

This series, I swear is pure unadulterated sin! Nothing is left untouched in the most sensual ways. Bind me digs into the ecstasy of letting feeling take over and shutting off one’s wondering mind. Every kinky fantasy is portrayed in the most exquisite carnal way possible. These men are experts when it comes to pleasing a woman’s body. I myself felt edged and keyed up while reading/listening to this story! Sinful imagination has no bounds when it comes to Madison and her men! Narration was done in Duet Multicast style with Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, J.F. Harding, Sean Masters, and Grayson Owens. God Almighty these narrators are my favorite group of sinners and their talent for portraying these characters should be illegal! I’ve never been so hot and bothered after listening to this audio! A scorching panty soaking showdown! Thank you Dark Star Romance and C.S. Berry for this fantastic ALC experience!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars — because I’m confused, annoyed, and emotionally jerked around


Great writing, but emotional whiplash kills it for me

I really enjoyed the author’s style — the story is genuinely engaging, and time just flies while reading. 😍 The spicy scenes? Exquisite and super well-written. The author did a fantastic job there. 🔥

But… I just cannot handle the emotional whiplash. 😖

The writing and story are excellent, but those constant emotional rollercoasters keep me from loving it fully.


And let’s talk about the emotional whiplash. Because WOW. 😵‍💫
This book constantly swings between “you’re mine, I’m all in” and “eh, this is just an arrangement for now” — sometimes within the same few chapters.


One minute we get intense, possessive, pseudo-romantic declarations:

“You’re mine, kitten. Every inch of you belongs to me. And every inch of me belongs to you.”


That’s not casual. That’s not “just sex.” That’s commitment-coded language.


But then — immediate backpedaling.


Suddenly it’s:
“At some point, it may be hard not to develop certain feelings.”


May be hard?
Sir, you’re already there. Stop lying to yourself and to her.


And then this gem:
“It’s one thing to fuck all of us, but for a woman to love us all and to gain our trust completely, I just don’t think that will happen.”


So let me get this straight:
— Sex with all of you? Totally fine.
— Emotional connection and trust? Unrealistic fantasy.
Cool cool cool. 🙃


The FMC is treated like she’s simultaneously:
— “ours”
— temporary
— under contract
— expected to be chill about everything

One moment it’s “I want this life with these people”, the next it’s “we need a system for dating other women”.


And the final straw for me?

They openly plan to date other women for PR while she’s literally sleeping naked next to them:
“We each need to bring a date… The press will be there.”
“What about Madison?”
“She understands this has to happen. We aren’t hiding anything from her.”


Excuse me???
She “understands” — or she was never given a real choice?


What makes this worse is that no one calls this out.
No pushback. No discomfort. No consequences.


And THEN the book has the audacity to give us this soft, emotional inner monologue:
“This is everything to me. Having my brothers with me and having them all happy. And Madison.”


And that’s what killed the romance for me.
You can’t sell “love and devotion” while constantly framing the relationship as:
— a trial period
— a business agreement
— a convenience that fits into their already-complete family

It’s emotional mixed signals on steroids.

Hot words, cold actions.


By the end, I wasn’t swooning — I was exhausted. 😮‍💨

Even after book 1 nothing could have prepared me for this.

The chemistry builds as the characters emotionally become more attached. How each man comes to terms with their feelings for her is unique to each of them. This makes the relationships feel layered.

The vibe went from steamy to quickly become a full blown inferno with how their boundaries blur.

This is intense when it comes to the spice. The writing of each scene feels distinct-makes this addictive for the earholes.

And honestly made me blush more than maybe any other book this year…

Already wanting book 3. 💖

ALC copy for review :
I loved book two. The full cast narration makes this a wonderful experience. I will say and I cannot believe I am saying this but I do wish that there was
More focus on the storyline and a little less spice. I know I know.

But that being said it was still a very enjoyable experience. The dynamics between the men and Maddison is progressing. They feel more for her than they thought they would. They assumed their arrangement would be the same as their past, but it is anything but.

The focus on Noah this book was great. I love his character so much. He’s sweet and gentle but with a wicked side.

The stalker situation is continuing to escalate and the men still don’t know who is behind it

The cliffhanger at the end though. Well played. Perfectly timed to make sure you need to know what happen next.

The male narrators were
Selected perfectly for the charcters. Michelle Sparks plays Maddison well.

I need to know where their story is going. I cannot wait to listen to book 3

Four Men, One Woman, and a Cliffhanger: Bind Me is an Emotional Rollercoaster

Bind Me: Private Listing, Book 2 by C.S. Berry is a wild, steamy, and surprisingly emotional ride that kept me thoroughly entertained from start to finish. At its core, this is a reverse harem romance with explicit content — and it does not shy away from that — but what makes it stand out is how skillfully the author weaves genuine emotional depth and a gripping mystery into the heat.

The characters are the real heart of this story. Madison is a compelling heroine — layered, self-aware, and refreshingly honest about her own desires and fears. Watching her navigate her unconventional arrangement with four very different men, quietly falling for each of them, is both swoony and heartbreaking. Each of the guys — Blake, Seth, Coop, and Noah — has a distinct personality, and the author does a great job of giving each man his own emotional arc. They all have walls up, and it’s fascinating to watch those walls quietly crumble as Madison works her way into their lives without even trying. The tension between what they want and what they admit to themselves is one of the most compelling threads in the book.

The mystery subplot adds a welcome layer of intrigue. The stalker storyline keeps you on edge and nicely breaks up the more intimate scenes. I have my own theory about who it is, and I’ll be eagerly reading the next book to find out if I’m right. The suspense is well-paced and genuinely unsettling in places — the file room scene in particular was chilling and effective.

That said, the book isn’t without its flaws. Some of the intimate scenes run quite long — at one point spanning nearly three full chapters — and while they are well-written, they occasionally slow the story’s momentum. A little trimming would have made the pacing tighter without losing any of the heat. There were also a couple of moments when a character’s behavior felt off to me — using intimacy to process feelings about someone else, or walking someone into an emotionally charged situation without fair warning. These choices felt like missed opportunities to deepen character development and build trust.

But these are minor criticisms in what is otherwise a genuinely enjoyable read. The emotional payoffs are real, the chemistry between the characters is electric, and the story ends on a cliffhanger that had me immediately reaching for the next book. If you enjoy slow-burn (maybe not so slow) emotional tension wrapped in an explicit, unconventional romance with a mystery twist, this series is absolutely worth your time. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I discovered CS Berry reading her novella "Untouched" - which I CAN NOT WAIT to be turned into books, btw - I joined her FB group and was excited to see that one of her other novella's, "Private Listing" was being published as books. I was very lucky to be part of the ARC readers and got my hands on the first and second books to review and I keep re-reading them. Not only do I enjoy the plot but, Oh, my! the spice level is off the charts! If you like strong male characters, a young, but learning to become a strong female character and watching the relationship grow, this is an awesome second book of a four book series. To say I am waiting impatiently for book three and four would be a gross understatement.

A continuation of book one and nothing for me has changed. The drama got amped up in this and having Madison have a stalker was interesting. Me trying to guess who it was and being ultimately wrong was also fun. I love when its not as easy as it could be. Learning more and more about the guys in between the spicy scenes and seeing what their old lives were like helped me to see them differently. I will say, I wasn't mixing up the guys or wondering who it was if their name wasn't said multiple times. I felt like each person was/is distinct and depending on either the spicy session or what was going on I knew who was talking or who the chapter was about without having to go back and see who it was. Again the spice was out of this world. Sometimes I unlost (?) reality for a bit and was like "this is unrealistic. Is she not in pain? Dehydrated? lord" but then i remembered this is a book and happily kept on reading.

2. Bind Me:
Characters: FMC: Madison
MMCs: Cooper ,Blake ,Seth,Noah.
Narrators: Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, and J.F. Harding

Beginning of the book:

I love how Seth loves to buy clothing, dress her it makes him feel good.
What does Madison prefers to sleep with her lovers individually or separately. Seth needs to understand and accept Madison loves all of them and enjoys loving them in whatever form they need as long as she also feels she is wanted, loved and cared for.

Love the aftercare Noah gives her and the space for her to express her feelings and accept her feelings and empowers her.

Cat gets out of the box , Hope that's Madison only girlfriend finds Madison with the man all around her in a compromising way.
Love how Seth and Blake make her feel safe by taking control from her.
Love how Cooper is fun and unapologetically himself and help her to accept herself

How all of them are very protective of her.
How all of them take turns in giving her aftercare. The details are important.
How she is the woman the four of them have been looking for. A woman that loves and accepts all four them with no reservations, judgements or drama does not want to separate them but wants them together always.

Chapter 47-49 testing limits.
Oh my God the sex scene in the play room with Madison allowing Noah to tie her its life changing I think, like how do you come back from such experience, such a high, such pleasure, to reach a level you become noneverbal, just needed, just feeling, lost in the pleasure. This requires complete trust in the people involved not to hurt or abuse her.

Noah being the most reserved, quiet I think he is the strongest personality of the four. Its always the quiet ones .

Chapter 69
Noah and Madison acknowledge that they love each other, but need to tell each other.

Chapter 71 Blake shows how possessive he feels of Madison.
