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.

This is the third book in the series.
This audiobook is narrated by Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran and JF Harding. Holy shit! The amount of male voice hotness within this audio is enough to make anyone melt 🫠 I absolutely LOVED all the narrators especially the male narrators. This is the MFing dream cast! Sean Master is to die for! Throwing in JF Harding and Troy Duran YES PLEASE!
Blake (Sean Masters) Noah (JF Harding)
Seth (Troy Duran) Cooper (Grayson Owens)

The audiobook is pure fire 🔥! The narrators are phenomenal in this series! It was truly the best cast!
Madison is dealing with her stalker and that aspect of the plot becomes adds suspense.
We get to see Blakes sister, Kayla, and she’s truly amazing. I loved the banter! The inner monologue of their thoughts were kind of annoying. It was the same ole same ole. The smut is VERY smutty. I dont know how she can even walk 🙄 the fact that it goes back and forth with the whole claiming thing — gets so annoying. The storyline got old after a while. They seriously fought it so hard because they were more worried about image. The stalker plotline in the background was the only thing I’d consider because it added suspense. You can start putting clues together about who the possible stalker could be.
Narration: 5 ⭐️
Overall story: 2.75/3 ⭐️

“Four overprotective men, one obsessive stalker, and enough tension to make my headphones overheat.”

Boss Me had me absolutely locked in from the first chapter. Madison’s story felt like walking a tightrope in designer heels while four dangerously devoted men stood underneath ready to catch her… or burn the world down for her. 😮‍💨

Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper each brought something completely different to the table, and somehow none of them faded into the background. The chemistry between Madison and her men was addictive. The jealousy, possessiveness, secret relationships, and emotional attachment built into something that felt equal parts glamorous fantasy and ticking time bomb.

And the STALKER subplot? Pure anxiety fuel in the best way. Every chapter had this lurking tension underneath the romance that kept me listening way past bedtime like a sleep-deprived gremlin clutching earbuds. 🖤

Madison was such a strong FMC too. Even while overwhelmed by everything happening around her, she never felt weak or forgettable. You could feel how deeply she cared for her men while also carrying the fear of everything crashing down around them.

The audiobook narration absolutely elevated this experience. The duet-style multicast narration made every POV feel vivid and cinematic. Each narrator brought distinct personality and emotion, making the romance scenes hotter and the suspense scenes hit even harder. Honestly felt like binge-watching a spicy thriller in audio form.

If you love:
✨ Reverse harem romance
✨ Protective obsessed MMCs
✨ Stalker suspense
✨ Hidden relationships
✨ Jealousy & possessiveness
✨ High spice with emotional connection
✨ Audiobooks with incredible cast narration

…then this one deserves a spot at the top of your TBR immediately. 🎧🔥

Ah C.S. Berry has me all tripped up over this series once again! The plot is just thickening as we go along and the smut? 🫠 Panty Melting 🥵🔥

The stalker is still at it and Madison is trying to deal with that, and add into it that they have a Viper in their midst and the mole hasn't been found? This adds so much tension and suspense because who is the stalker? Who is the mole? Are they the same person? What does Elizabeth have on them?

The chemistry between Madison and her men? It just keeps cooking 🔥🔥🔥 it's sinful, addictive and so freaking DELICIOUS! Their feelings are growing and they are starting to realize how they feel and admit it out loud! The tender moments between Madison and Noah, and the emotional scene with Seth all add up to one hell of a good story.

While the plot feels slow since they haven't found the stalker or the mole yet, the dynamic and relationships are strengthening with these characters.

One side character I absolutely adored was Kayla! Her banter and sense of humor is hilarious and I'm excited to see how Madison's friendship will develop with her and Sarah as well.

Once again DarkStarRomance has done an amazing job with the audiobook production! The all star cast is a dream and the narrators did an amazing job portraying everything throughout the series thus far. The emotions of these characters, the dominance of these men, and even the vulnerability in their submission when Madison takes the lead is all excellent!

[Lil Bit Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Boss Me is the third book in the Private Listing series. The storyline picks up immediately following where book two left off. They all have the business event they need to attend and bring dates. This causes the characters to each face the growing feelings they have for one another. They also continue to search for Madison’s stalker as well as whomever is stealing from their company. There are a few plot twists, a death, and some other interesting bits of information that they find out. This story also ends on a cliffhanger.

I enjoyed hearing more of how they each feel for one another and how their feelings are growing. While this book still has lots of spice, there is definitely more plot and this helps. There is also one scene in the story involving Cooper and Madison and then later Blake. While reading, I was giggling, laughing out loud and then finally holding my breath in anticipation of what would happen next. What I did not like in the story is the character of Elizabeth. She is conniving, heartless, and an absolute villain. I’m really hoping that during the fourth book she gets what she deserves. Its too bad Madison is not an MMA fighter or secret assassin.

As for the narration, just like with the other two previous novels, I still feel that the casting is perfect. The audio is done in a multi-cast, duet-style. I was pleasantly surprised with what felt like genuine emotion coming through the words by Grayson Owens. We get to read more about his character, Cooper, and his inner thoughts. Towards the end of the story, there is a particular scene between Madison and Seth that is pretty emotional. Michelle Sparks and Troy Duran really portrayed the feelings of the characters to a believable and relatable level.

I recommend this novel for mature audiences only due to sexual content and other trigger warnings. I'm looking forward to reading the final story in this series and finding out who Madison’s stalker is.

I was giving an ALC from Dark Star Romance and this ride was well worth it!!

My brain has been wrecked with trying to figure out who’s been after Madison. I love a good smut book with a little true crime element.

Madison and the guys fall even deeper into each other and I love to see it. This book is meant to keep you edged in more ways than one but it’s such a good time!

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.

I have a sneaking suspicion. I know who the stalker is, but it's only a sneaking suspicion. i am half tempted to buy the last book in the series. Because it is audio before I would get it as an ALC simply because I don't wanna wait. I know where to get the information, and I'm half. Tempted, just go and buy it because holy mackerel. The twists and the turns and the intrigue. And oh my goodness that X girlfriend, oh I wanna put her head through a wall. I don't like her. She is a snake and she's gonna try and bite, and I know it. I have known women like her. They're the worst people in the world

[Natasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

[Elizabeth Roth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Daaayyuummm. I’m not sure I have the words to fully capture my thoughts on Boss Me by C.S. Berry. Is it an erotic, adult romance with very high heat? Yes. Is it why-choose/sharing? Also, yes. Is it mostly spicy time? Again, yes. And while the story leans heavily into the intimacy portions of the relationships, I still enjoyed it a lot.
My only real complaint is the ending: it’s a cliffhanger, and we still don’t know who the stalker is—or who the mole is—which left me wanting the next book immediately. On audio, the narration is fantastic: Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, and J.F. Harding are top notch.
The relationships continue to build between Madison and her guys. Even with all the intensity, they each feel distinct, and their individual personalities add something important to the group dynamic. Madison also keeps running into men with questionable motives, which raises the stakes and gives her guys plenty of reasons to go into protective mode.
One thing I really appreciated is how the story balances the group relationship with meaningful one-on-one moments. In some sharing/why-choose romances, the individual connections can feel thin, but that wasn’t the case here. I also loved the banter and chemistry—not just between Madison and each man, but among the guys themselves.
Madison is caught between jealousy when the men have to keep up appearances and date for optics, and the comfort of feeling chosen—while also wondering how long this situation can last and whether she’s “enough.” Meanwhile, the guys are clearly struggling to admit what they feel and to put a name to it. I was so happy to see Madison finding her footing and making friends with Hope and Sarah along the way. Blake’s sister cracked me up, as did Cooper’s theatrics.
If you’re not a fan of very high-heat romance or why-choose/sharing dynamics, this one probably won’t be for you. But if you do enjoy that style—especially in full-cast audio with deep voices and plenty of emotion—this is absolutely worth a listen.
Tropes:
• Why-choose / sharing romance (MFMMM)
• Billionaire / workplace romance
• BDSM elements (adult romance)
• Found family
• Down-on-her-luck heroine
• Submissive heroine gaining confidence

[Alexandra · Rating 2 out of 5]

Silly me thought this was a 3-book series… two too many, I thought. “Nothing happens,” I said.

I’m bored of the constant drippage, hard-ons, “I love them but they are not mine forever,” “we love her but we must protect her reputation,” so naturally the solution is: emotionally wreck her with exes, psycho women, and elaborate schemes designed purely to make therapy necessary.

I kid you not — besides the constant fucking (about 80% of the book, generously), they rotate through maybe three thoughts on loop. And honestly, I’ve realized why: that level of “extreme coitus” must be actively deleting brain cells on contact.

Three books in, and Maddison is basically running a subscription service for creeps: every installment comes with a new man who wants to either obsess over her, violate boundaries, or audition for jail time. This time? A professor gets added to the roster. And somewhere in the background, Parker the lawyer is behaving like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

And somehow — somehow — we still don’t know who the stalker is or who the mole is in the company. Three books. Zero answers. Impressive commitment to absolutely nothing.

So there I am, nearing the end of the audiobook, getting increasingly irritated that literally nothing is resolving… and then surprise: dumbass me didn’t even realize there’s a fourth book.

I genuinely considered crying out of frustration, because there is no reason for this level of narrative inflation. I am bored out of my damn mind with the dumbassery. At this point, my patience is clinically dehydrated — chapter after chapter — because there is no universe, not even a deeply unhinged fantasy one, where one woman is surviving that constant friction for hours at end.

Also, the fourth book isn’t even available on my app. And there is absolutely no way in hell I’m paying a dime for this.

Shame, really — because the audiobook narration is doing God’s work. The cast? Stellar. The voices? Immaculate. The plot? Legally questionable.

🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
5 ⭐️ 4 🌶️

I genuinely don’t even know where to begin. Firstly… 📌Sean Masters. That man could narrate the ingredients on a shampoo bottle and I’d still sit there blushing like an idiot.
Then they added 📌Grayson Owens, 📌J.F. Harding, 📌Troy Duran and 📌Michelle Sparks and suddenly this audiobook became less of a listening experience and more of a full-scale hormonal event 😮‍💨🫠

This production was absolutely phenomenal 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Every time I’m lucky enough to get an audiobook from DarkStarRomance I am in awe of how well it’s performed and executed. The 🎙️ DUET NARRATION 🎙️ works so incredibly well here because it pulls you straight into the tension, the chemistry, the emotions, and the absolute chaos brewing underneath the surface. And believe me, there’s a whole lot of chaos 🌶️🤯

Every narrator brought something unique to their character and together they created an experience that felt compelling, addictive, and dangerously easy to binge.

🎙️ Multicast narrated by:
• Michelle Sparks
• Grayson Owens
• Sean Masters
• Troy Duran
• J.F. Harding

📍 Synopsis:
Madison’s secret relationship with her four powerful protectors deepens as her stalker grows more dangerous. As love, jealousy, and tension rise, one mistake could expose everything—and put all of them at risk.

‼️THAT ENDING THOUGH‼️ The story is sitting right on the edge of complete detonation and now I’m expected to wait patiently for the next installment like some emotionally mature person. I need the next audiobook immediately. Like, right now!

📍 Tropes:
• Why Choose
• Billionaire
• Boss x Employee
• Forced Proximity
• Alpha Hero
• Workplace Romance

📣 Side note: You’ll want to read this series in order because the storyline carries directly from one book to the next.

‼️‼️ Thank you to DarkStarRomance for the opportunity to listen and review this fantastic audiobook.

Boss Me by C.S. Berry, the third book in the Private Listing series delivers exactly what fans of the series want: high heat, strong chemistry, and a relationship dynamic that keeps deepening in satisfying ways. This book especially shines in how it develops Madison’s connection with Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper, letting the emotional side of the story grow alongside the spice. The more time they spend together, the more natural their bond feels, and that progression gives the romance real payoff.

What I liked most was watching the interactions between the main characters evolve from intense attraction and possessiveness into something more layered and tender. The men don’t just orbit Madison as protectors and lovers; they each bring their own energy to the relationship, which makes the group dynamic feel fuller and more engaging. There’s jealousy, protectiveness, teasing, and private tenderness, and those shifting interactions keep the story moving even when the plot leans heavily into steam.

The book also does a good job balancing the romance with the underlying tension of Madison’s situation, which adds urgency to the relationships. At times the spice may be overwhelming for some readers, but it fits the tone of the series, and the emotional payoff makes it work. Overall, Boss Me is a fun, addictive installment that gives readers plenty of heat while continuing to build a more meaningful connection between Madison and her men.

I’m a huge fan of why-choose romance, and I’m in love with this story. Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, and J.F. Harding are top notch with the full cast narration.

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.

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 by C.S. Berry is a steamy and suspenseful reverse harem romance that mixes emotional intensity with mystery and I ate it up from start to finish. This for me, was the best book yet in The private listing series.

The story follows Madison and her four protective bosses Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper as their secret relationship deepens while danger from a stalker grows closer. Each male lead Character has such a distinct panty dropping personality: Blake is dominant and fiercely protective, Seth is intelligent and strategic, Noah is the soft, vulnerable and more caring one and Cooper brings confidence and playful charm. Madison the fox is sweet, loyal, and emotionally strong despite the pressure surrounding her.

The audiobook narration brings the story alive, making for such a deliciously fabulous experience. Michelle Sparks captures Madison’s vulnerability and strength perfectly, while Troy Duran, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, and J.F. Harding each give the male characters unique depth and personality. Making you fall a little deeper for each character. Their performances emotional, romantic, sexy and so immersive I certainly couldn’t listen in public 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Overall, Boss Me, book 3 in the private listing series, is addictive, dramatic and packed with chemistry, making it a great choice for listeners who enjoy protective alpha heroes, mystery, suspense and emotional but sexy as hell romance.

5/5 ⭐️
5/5 🌶

*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!

Tropes:
✔️ MFMMM Romance
✔️ Billionaire Romance
✔️ BDSM/Erotic
✔️ Workplace Romance (Bosses/Employee)
✔️ Sex Contract

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.

🎧 Boss Me by C.S. Berry was such an easy audiobook to binge, and the narration cast is a huge reason why.

Sean Masters, Troy Duran, J.F. Harding, Grayson Owens, and Michelle Sparks all brought something unique to their characters, and together the chemistry felt incredibly immersive. The duet/multicast narration worked so well for this story because it pulled you straight into the tension, the emotion, the banter, and all the chaos simmering underneath the surface.

Sean Masters could probably narrate the ingredients on a box of Cheerios at this rate and I would still be melting into a puddle 🫠….Mind you so could the rest of this cast … my hot flashes had hot flashes!!!!🥵🔥

The production quality from DarkStarRomance was honestly phenomenal too. Every audiobook I’ve listened to from them feels so polished and well executed, and this one was no different. The pacing flowed smoothly, the emotions landed perfectly, and the multiple narrators made everything feel even more addictive.

And THAT ending… absolutely not 😭 Now I’m supposed to patiently wait for the next audiobook like a reasonable person?

If you love spicy audiobooks with top-tier narration, great chemistry, and a cast that fully commits to the chaos, this series is definitely worth listening to.

[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.

Boss Me is the third installment in C.S. Berry's Private Listing series, and if you've made it this far, you already know what you're signing up for
— four possessive billionaires, a heroine in danger, and enough heat to melt your earbuds.
The real standout in this audiobook is the production. The multicast narration with Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, and J.F. Harding brings genuine energy to every scene. Each voice is distinct, and the chemistry between the narrators makes the ensemble cast feel alive in a way that's hard to pull off. It genuinely elevates the listening experience.
Story-wise, the tension around Madison's stalker continues to ratchet up, and Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper are as brooding and protective as ever. The emotional beats land - there's real longing and sweetness underneath all the heat.

That said, the intimate scenes start to feel repetitive by this point in the series. There's only so many times the story can go back to that well before it starts to slow the plot momentum. I found myself wanting more forward movement on the suspense thread.
Still a solid listen for why-choose fans, especially with a cast this good. Just make sure you start from book one - this is very much not a
standalone.

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.

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!

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!

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.
