Private Listing: Boss Me

Private Listing #3

by C.S. Berry, Michelle Sparks (Narrator), Sean Masters (Narrator)

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.



Audio is multi-cast, duet-style narration.

[Kari Lake]

Multi-cast duet narration with book 3 was everything. I swear Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, JF Harding, Grayson Owens, and Sean Masters are some of the best when it comes to group scenes.

This book definitely had more happening plot wise and definitely moved the story along. I still haven't figured out who the stalker is though.

Quite a few things going on in this book to make things exciting! I really enjoyed this one.

[Alexandra]

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.

Love this series!

I’ve read the books and now listening to the audiobooks. I loved Madison and her men to start with but hearing them to come life - that has brought a new level to these books! They are still struggling to find out who the stalker is and Madison has reached her breaking point with the guys and their dates.

I can’t wait to listen to the next book!! And more of Madison, Seth, Blake, Cooper, and NOAH 🔥❤️🔥❤️

If you loved these books - Then YOU MUST listen to the audiobooks.

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.

[InkedSirenXO]

“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. 🎧🔥

[Jacklyn B]

This book picks up right where book 2 ended with a peek into the box for Madison and well, it doesn’t go over well. The tension is rising as they try and figure out who her st@ller is…and they have a mole. I am really enjoying the suspense and mystery in the book too.

Yes, this book is SUPER steamy but we also are diving more into deeper feelings as a group and as individuals. Blake, Seth, Noah and Cooper are determined to protect Madison. Between the suspenseful moments we also have these really sweet moments too.

The full cast audio for this book is so good. I loved how each characters individual personalities really shine in the audio. The chemistry and emotions just get better and better. We are really seeing Madison grow and I love how we get to see more of her strength and confidence and vulnerability.

And no spoilers…but that ending 👀

[cynda house]

We're coming to an end you guys!!! I can't believe there is only one book left in this awesome series. It's so funny, when I first started reading/listening I thought this was just going to be about a girl getting railed by 4 dudes at a security firm and nothing really more... but it is sooo much more! I have fallen for all of these guys like Madison has. Every single guy has something to bring to the table and something to bring to Madison! and Madison has grown in every single book too. Also, the plot keeps thickening. We still don't know who her stalker is, but I feel like I have a feeling who it might be, and it's someone who we least expect.... but it was like so random... but he came up too many times in this book. But I'll just have to wait and see in the next book.

You guys, I cannot believe Coop, He and Madison, ENGAGED!! haha he really is something, but you know what, I love his relationship with Madison, I think she is so good for him, I think he has finally found a woman who doesn't want him for his money or status, a woman who only wants him for him, for his charm, and his whit, and his humor! That's exactly what he needs and I think that is why he can let his guard down with her and it was so beautiful to see!

Noah!!! I seriously didn't think I could fall more in love with him, but I happened, I love him so much, he might be my favorite guy, and I know we're not supposed to have favorites, but man, he is just like perfect for Madison.

Blake is the only one who didn't say he loved Madison in this book... well to her face at least... he said it in his POV, so I can't wait for him to tell her in the next book, I had a feeling if it was there night together, he might have said it to her. maybe... who knows, but man, I love him and fierce heart!!! Always the protector.

And wow, Seth like almost blew this whole relationship up with Elizabeth... like that girl needs to go away permanently.... and she has to have something to do with this whole thing with Madison... like she's a sneaking little troll and something is going on with her. I hate her, and she needs to get gone!! But I'm so glad that Seth was able to say his feelings to Madison out loud, I thought he was going to be the last one and I thought it was going to take a lot more than that for him to confess those feelings.

I can't wait for the end, this series has been so freaking good, and my dudes, the narrators are soooo freaking good, Gayson, JF, Sean, Michelle, and Troy!! They all just knock their characters out of the park every single time!!

Thank you Darkstar for the chance at this ALC. You guys are seriously the freaking best!!!

[Ariel Oliver]

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!

[Brennan]

This book is basically chapter 3 of a 4 part story, so it’s a little hard to review on its own.
The basics are that Madison, a brilliant 22 year old in New York has just landed her dream starter job as the executive assistant to the four gorgeous and powerful young men that run a top cyber security firm. She also has a side agreement to live with them and be their sexual partner. It was supposed to be an arrangement of convenience but of course everyone is catching feelings. This also means that the book is about 75% sex between the horniest 5 people I may have ever read about (and please hear me when I say that this is not a complaint on my part). We still don’t know who is stalking Madison, but the suspect list is growing.
I highly recommend the audiobook. The narrators are all so talented and bring such gravity to roles that are basically endless group sex with a side of protective after care and a little macho business posturing. I’m honestly not sure how I would have felt about these men if they weren’t voiced by Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Troy Duran and JF Harding. It is a real dream cast of actors with very different voices and performances styles. And then Michelle Sparks brings it all together as Madison, highlighting both her determination and her vulnerability. She somehow makes us believe that one woman could actually survive that many orgasms (I counted 18 in one day) in such a short time - I’m not sure if it is physically possible, even at 22.
If you like Why Choose, Billionaire, work place darkish romance with a ton of spice and a nice variety of different kinks, this book does that well and the audiobook makes it a damn good time. I can honestly say that while there isn’t a ton of plot I am still totally hooked and can’t wait to listen to the next book to see what happens.
Thank you to Dark Star Romance and author C.S. Berry for the chance to listen to and review a copy of this audiobook.

[Lil Bit Reads]

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.

ALC copy for review

Of course I loved book three. The cast continued to provide a phenomenal audio performance.

I did enjoy that in book 3 there was a bit more plot. Don't get me wrong I love the spice, but it is great when there's a wonderful plot to go along with it.

Just like the first two books sometimes it felt like the spicy scenes went on a little longer than they needed to which took away from the story.

It's not enough for me to stop the series because the plot line is good There is enough suspense that makes me want to continue the series to figure out what happens .

I love all the character's. Noah is the soft one with a kind heart. Cooper is the mischievous one. Blake is our grumpy protector and Seth is our leader who keeps the family running.

The relationships are continuing to develop and everyone is starting to feel more than they thought. The dynamic may cause the men to loose everything they have built

Madison's journey continues and the person who is still a danger to her is out there.

Will they be able to keep everything they've built and the woman they are falling for? Or will it all come crashing down ?

[Michelle Bailey]

Boss Me is the third book in this dark why choose romance. Please read all content warnings before listening. Madison’s stalker is becoming bolder. Everyone is concerned about what will happen next. Meanwhile, the five of them continue to grow closer. At the benefit they are all attending, Cooper announces to an ex-girlfriend that he and Madison are engaged. What? Can they stop the stalker before he harms Madison any more? Who is the stalker? Any guesses?
The duet multicast narration once again was beyond extraordinary. Michelle Sparks was magnificent as brilliant,,beautiful, sweet, kind, loving, caring, sassy Madison. She voices Madison’s emotions so well-I could feel her terror and panic during the incident at the benefit. Troy Duran was superb as alpha, commanding, boss Seth. Sean Masters was spectacular as grumpy, growly Blake who is starting to soften up a little. J. F. Harding was splendid as sweet, kind, caring, loving, obsessed Noah. Grayson Owens was brilliant as possessive boyfriend/fiancée Cooper. These voice actors brought this story to life masterfully. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.
Thanks to the author and Dark Star Romance for this ALC.

Multi-cast narration Michelle Sparks (👑)
Troy Duran
JF Harding
Grayson Owens
Sean Masters
I still stand 10 toes down that they couldn’t have picked a better cast to bring these characters to life!!!

Madison and the boys continue to navigate their arrangement and feelings for each other all the while trying to figure out who the stalker is.

Definitely a lot more happening plot wise. The stalker subplot is pure anxiety!!! You and feel the tension all through the book. You also learn of a mole in the company.

The spice is SPICY 🥵. So if you’re out in public I hope you have a good poker face. 😉

Received as a ALC from Darkstar Romance

[Jennifer Collie]

Boss Me by C.S. Berry is Book 3 in the series, and we're back with Madison as she continues working as a secretary for four gorgeous, wealthy, and powerful men while also navigating a much more personal relationship with them. But sex isn't the only thing on her plate. Someone is stalking her and actively trying to harm her, and we're still trying to unravel the mystery behind it all.
I'll tell you what, I have absolutely no idea who the culprit is! This installment gives us a lot more story and clues to sink our teeth into, but don't worry, it still brings plenty of spice. Madison handles four guys far more gracefully than I ever could, so major props to her because I could neva.
I'm incredibly curious to see how everything comes together in the end, and with this cast of narrators bringing the story to life, listening has been an absolute blast.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I cannot say this enough- I adore men written by women for women, and CS Berry has raised the bar to a new standard with truly beautifully written character development in this book 🖤

The narration, as in Book 1&2, was sublime and although the story and plot itself is great, I think the quality of narration really makes this a 5⭐️ listen.

The narrators perfectly convey the intensity felt by the characters in each scene, and allow the listener to become fully immersed; I was particularly impressed by the voice acting in parts where sensitive topics such as workplace harassment, coercion and malicious behaviour against women are involved. These issues are written so authentically and handled wonderfully by the narrators.

I am fully invested in this series, and impatiently awaiting Book 4- the anticipation of the stalker & mole reveal has me in a chokehold as I cannot figure out who they are.

I am not fully convinced I like and fully trust Cooper🙈 I am half-expecting a major plot twist & for him to be the villain in all of this, but I’m notoriously bad at predictions and am probably majorly off point here.

Thank you to @darkstarromance and @csberry for the ALC, and to @duran.troy @michellesparksvoice @graysonthemic @seanmastersaudio @j.f.harding for the sublime listen; I am loving every minute of this series 🫶

[Terri]

Madison’s stalker is still out there and there are more possible suspects introduced in this book. Madison and Cooper come out as an engaged couple to cover up rumors of her and all the guys but her relationship with them becomes more serious and stronger as they all declare their love for Madison after she confesses falling in love with each of them and becomes jealous seeing the guys with dates. The theory about Val as a suspect is out as she is found dead of a drug overdose but her boyfriend is still alive.

There is a lot of spice in this book as well and it’s so hot and very good!

I loved the multi cast narration by Sean Masters, Grayson Owens, Troy Duran, J.F. Harding and Michelle Sparks. Their voices just mesh so well together! They are so talented and I felt they were perfectly cast and kept you engaged through the entire story. This one also ends in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for the next book!

Thank you to author C.S. Berry and Darkstar Romance for the ALC.

[Ebony]

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

I need more!!!!

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

Overall : 5⭐️
Story : "The Smut is The Plot" That saying has never been more true. We get to see more emotion in this book which I love. Madison struggles with thinking that she isn't enough and these men are out of her league. She is finally starting to see how much they all cherish her, and not just for sex. Her and Seth's journey in this book was so heart warming. I am loving watching her friendships grow in this book, everyone needs someone like Blake's sister in their lives!!! The plot has definitely "thickened" in this book. This is definitely more intricate then I was originally thinking and I love that!!

Narration : This cast continues to do an absolutely stunning performance! Michelle does fabulous with the introduction of each new female character. 3 books in and these narrators are just a total vibe at this point!!

[Kammie Dickerson]

I cannot get enough of these men!!!!! They are every fantasy come to life and get better and better with each book! I don’t think I’ll ever be disappointed reading about my favorite guys! I love getting to see the soft sides of each one and their unique quirks. The spicy scenes were smoking hot and tasteful! I’m excited for the final book in the series to see if the lovely Madison gets to keep all of her men forever! Narration was done in Duet Multicast style with Michelle Sparks, Troy Duran, J.F. Harding, Sean Masters, and Grayson Owens. These narrators have done it again and have left me speechless! The performance was perfection, pleasurable, and satisfying in the most exquisite way possible! Thank you Dark Star Romance and C.S. Berry for this phenomenal ALC experience!!!!

✨AUDIOBOOK REVIEW✨

This is book 3 in the Private Listing series and we pick up right where we left off in book 2. I enjoyed this book more than book 2. The plot is thickening and it's finally more than just non stop smut. Although don't get me wrong, we still got like 85-90% smut!🔥

I loved the gala scenes plus the dates the guys had to go on with other women since it added to the story plus now I have even more suspects for the stalker. Although I still can't quite figure out who it is exactly. Every time I think I know who it could be, I learn something new that makes me uncertain.

The plot in book 3 is definitely moving forward with the stalker situation but we still don't know who it is. Everything will be revealed in the final book which is book 4. Another thing that I enjoyed in book 3 is the fact that each character is getting even more emotionally involved finally so it is not just a spicy contract situation anymore.

I am curious to see what will happen in book 4 and who is the stalker plus how Madison and all the MMCs will have their HEA!!

I still have no clue how Madison is surviving all that non stop sexy time with all the guys haha she definitely seems to never want a break and when they actually give her a bit of a break to recover, she then starts wondering what's wrong (that got on my nerves a few times lol). That girl is definitely addicted to the D of all the guys and always want more. All her holes are definitely getting well used in this book. 😂🌶️

🎙️The narrators Michelle Sparks (Madison), Sean Masters (Blake), Troy Duran (Seth), Grayson Owens (Cooper) and JF Harding (Noah) did an amazing job playing their characters in this whole series and really elevated the whole experience. We couldn't ask for a better cast for this series! They all brought their A game and really delivered with their performance. I am addicted to multi cast duet narration when it comes to why choose romance so we get a narrator for each main characters. Nothing beats that when it comes time to dialogue, banter and spicy scenes.

[Natasha]

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

[Cassandra]

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.

[Erica Coleman]

I went into this not listening to the first two, which I need to do. But man alive I am in absolute love with them! These men are the absolute perfect mix of everything she needs to feel complete and satisfied! And lord have mercy, they protect her with every ounce of their being. I definitely wish I was her haha

The audio to this book was absolute perfection, the narrator, the production, the timing, the plot (mainly the bedroom haha) the writing! Dark start romance, Troy Duran, Sean Masters, Grayson Owens, JF Harding, and Michelle Sparks were seriously perfection in this!!

[Rebecca]

Boss Me by C.S. Berry, the third installment in the Private Listing series, is an addictive, high-stakes blend of glamorous fantasy and suspense that will keep you locked in from the very first chapter. Madison’s journey feels like walking a tightrope in designer heels, constantly caught between the intoxicating comfort of being cherished by her four billionaire protectors—Blake, Seth, Noah, and Cooper—and the looming terror of an unknown stalker. As the stakes rise, Madison must navigate the complexities of her secret relationships, feeling the sting of jealousy when the men are forced to play the part of eligible bachelors for the public, all while wondering if she is truly "enough" for them.

What makes this volume stand out is how it balances that heavy, high-heat spice with genuine emotional progression. While the story is undeniably erotic and leans into the intensity of their physical connection, C.S. Berry manages to deepen the bonds between the group in meaningful ways. The men don't just orbit Madison as lovers; they each bring a distinct personality and energy to the group dynamic. Watching the characters move from intense attraction and possessiveness toward a more layered, tender connection provides a satisfying payoff that anchors the more fantastical elements of their world.

The subplot involving the mysterious stalker serves as the perfect "anxiety fuel," adding a layer of ticking-time-bomb tension that keeps the narrative momentum driving forward even during the most intimate scenes. Madison remains a compelling lead throughout; despite being overwhelmed by the threat to her safety and the complexity of her situation, she never feels weak. Instead, she finds her footing, builds new friendships, and holds her own amidst a group of men who are clearly struggling to admit the depth of their feelings for her.

The audiobook production is once again exceptional, with the duet-style multicast narration by Michelle Sparks, Sean Masters, Troy Duran, Grayson Owens, and J.F. Harding elevating the experience to a cinematic level. Each narrator brings a distinct, vivid personality to their character, making the romantic interactions feel hotter and the suspenseful moments hit even harder.

While the cliffhanger ending—which leaves the mystery of the stalker and a potential mole unresolved—will undoubtedly leave listeners desperate for the next book, Boss Me is a brilliant showcase of why this series has become a standout in the "why choose" genre. If you enjoy stories that combine high-heat romance with deep, character-driven group dynamics and a gripping thriller edge, this is an absolute must-listen.

This is my favourite of the series so far as Madison's arrangement with her bosses develops into something more with the threat of the stalker adding some great tension into the plot as everyone becomes a suspect with more names being added to the list. The chapters at the gala were my highlight; I liked seeing the guys doing something out with their usual activities with Madison and what their relationships were like with other people. Kayla did steal the show though; she was such a breath of fresh air and her banter with Blake had me cackling.

Noah is breaking my heart; I was devastated at Cooper's actions at the time (as he was still flip flopping about admitting he had feelings for Madison and he came across as pretty cavalier compared to the others when it comes to being in public spaces) but I appreciated how he himself realised what he had done to Noah in particular. I would have loved more scenes with just the guys though as I like their found family dynamic as well as them all realising they want more than just a physical relationship with Madison.

I'm not quite sure where we are on the timescale of them being together but it's still very much an instalove story and super spicy; if you want spice with a dash of plot then this is for you. There is a little more character development as we find out some of the dating history of the guys but as this is now book three I was looking for more of that in between all the spicy times which were all starting to merge together. Madison can't even walk into a room at this point without something happening; my focus was starting to drift as I wanted to know more about the other plotlines at this stage in the series. That being said the audio did keep me engaged as the narrators are all excellent and my headphones were melting as the chemistry is on fire; JF Harding's Noah was probably my favourite but I really enjoy Michelle Sparks too as she really brought out the vulnerability in Madison's heart vs head conflict.

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
