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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For a book loaded with sex and steam, this actually has a good plot and smexy characters. The ending is a cliffy so if you are invested in the plot, you know what you have to do. ✅

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.

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.

[Kari Lake · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy hotness! Wow, the audio of this book will have you melting. You have Sean Masters, Troy Duran, JF Harding, and Grayson Owens as 4 billionaire hotties and Michelle Sparks as Madison, the assistant they hire and have a sex contract with.

[Cassandra · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.

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.

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.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.

[Bobbi-Ann Wight · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book over a year ago and loved it. I didn't think it could be beat, but listening to the audiobook. WOW!!!! Having this book come to life was truly amazing. C.S. Berry did an amazing job with this whole series, and I can't wait to listen to the rest.

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.

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.

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. 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)

Madison is looking for a new job and applies for an executive assistant position. This is where she meets our four hot as son MMCs. But did she apply for more than she bargained for? Whenever she shows up to sign contracts, they ask her to sign a sexual relationship contract as well since all the males are attracted to her. It was mostly in Madison’s POV but the men’s POV was thrown in here & there. This is an assistant/BDSM contract story from the first book I’ve listened to. The narration was perfect! 🤩
I absolutely love all four of these narrators working together. This is a VERY fast paced story on the physical front BUT not on the emotional front. There was some plot holes that should have been caught by the teams but they weren’t terrible or off putting to the story. I’m hoping there’s more emotional development as the story progresses.
Narration: 5 ⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Watch Me by C.S. Berry

This was such a fun, fast, and very spicy start to the Private Listing series.

We follow Madison, fresh out of college, who lands a job working for four powerful billionaire men Noah, Seth, Blake, and Coop and let’s just say… the tension is immediate and it does not take its time building.

This is a why choose, BDSM, workplace romance that leans heavily into the spice. There is a plot here, but make no mistake this book is driven by the chemistry, the dynamics, and the exploration of different kinks. Definitely check your trigger warnings going in.

The pacing was honestly one of my favorite parts. It’s fast, engaging, and super easy to binge, I listened to this in one sitting and stayed fully entertained the entire time. This is very much a fast burn situation (no slow burn here), and if you’re into instant attraction and high-heat dynamics, this delivers.

If you’re someone who prefers heavier plot over spice, this might not hit the same, but if you’re here for the tension, the power dynamics, and the spice… you’re going to have a good time.

And that ending it leaves off on a strong cliffhanger that definitely has me ready to jump into the next book.

I was lucky enough to receive the ALC from Dark Star Romance, and let me just say—the audiobook experience is phenomenal.

This is a full multicast narration, and honestly… the narration is what takes this story to the next level. Every single voice brings something different to the table, and the performances completely pull you into the dynamic between these characters.

We have an all-star cast: Michelle Sparks, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, and J.F. Harding—and each one absolutely delivers. The emotion, the tension, the intensity… it’s all there.

If you’re planning to read this series, I highly recommend picking up the audiobook. It elevates the entire experience and makes it even more immersive.

Spice vs Plot:
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (5/5 spice)
📖📖 (2/5 plot)

This one is very spice-forward. The plot is there and keeps things moving, but the main focus is definitely the dynamics, the tension, and the kink exploration.

Overall, a really entertaining and addictive start to a connected series that I’m excited to continue.

[Ali Alley EscapeThroughABook · Rating 4 out of 5]

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!

~This was my first read by C.S. Berry & I look forward to seeing if the story/plot picks up in book 2. This book is a why choose office romance that follows four men & one woman. This story had potential but in my opinion the spice outweighed the plot for most of the story which in my opinion just left plot holes and a choppy storyline.

The multi-cast duet narration for this audiobook was great and I highly recommend the audiobook version as that is what kept me engaged and helped me finish the book.~

~As Always Happy Reading~

I would've enjoyed this book if the relationships had developed more before it got all insta-lusty. Madison is your typical girl boss who managed to get a bachelor's degree and masters degree all in 4 years plus "lots" of internships. She has zero self-preservation and let's her sex crazed brain lead her into a high paid escort position tied to her first business job out of college. She willingly signed up without even really knowing the guys. It's kinda funny actually how she describes Hunter, as a predator when he displays similar behaviors to the MMCs. Speaking of which, the guys are such hypocrites, making it clear they would be judgement if she was just signing up for their little agreement just for the money.

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

[Peter Valor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Watch Me completely pulled me in from the first page. I loved returning to the world of Shatter Me with new characters and fresh dangers, and Rosabelle’s fierce determination and complex journey made this story feel exciting and emotional. The world building is vivid and intense, and the mix of action and romance kept me turning pages.

This book makes you think about who we are when no one is watching, and it delivers a powerful blend of tension and heart that stayed with me long after I finished. A thrilling and unforgettable read that easily earns five stars.

[Denise Heatley · Rating 4 out of 5]

*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!

[Sarah Loves Spice]

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.

[Judith Holley · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

[Amber · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was able to snag an audio copy!

Voiced by Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, and JF Harding, I had this done in two days at while at work!

I thought all the voices matched the personalities!

She was hesitant to enter but as she got to know the duties and, well, duties 😉; she does. She gets protection from her pervy ex-boss, even though he has made every intention known.
