Big Catch

Dossier #4

by Cathryn Fox

Brilliant and uptight emergency room doctor Alyssa Davenport has absolutely no desire to travel to Antigua to go cockle fishing. What the hell is a cockle anyway? But it’s time for her to fulfill a ridiculous New Year’s Eve pact with her best friends. Heck, maybe she’ll meet a hot fisherman who isn’t intimidated by her and looks at her as a woman instead of a doctor. Lord knows her body is screaming for a little attention.

Former New York stockbroker Brayden Adams takes one look at Alyssa and sees that she needs to relax. He’s known the feeling himself, until he and his best friend, Tyler, left the fast life behind when they inherited a hotel and fishing business in Antigua. Now they live a relaxed island life and share everything.

Stepping out of her comfort zone, Alyssa boldly goes after what she wants. Except there’s a bit of a snag, and the discovery leads her on a sexual adventure she could have never imagined. But when vacation is over, what happens next?

Big Catch is book four in the Dossier series by Cathryn Fox. I have been enjoying this series since reading book two. But this book, I loved. This is most definitely my favorite of the series. These two men, Bray and Ty, melted my heart. And I loved Alyssa. The three together, well, they definitely have a hand in global warming.

Braydon Adams didn’t have much of a childhood due to an abusive alcoholic father. If it weren’t for his best friend Tyler and his family, he would not be the man he is today. Bray and Ty were successful businessmen on Wall Street. But the stress of their careers nearly killed them. At one point Braydon thought he was having a heart attack. That’s where he first met Dr. Alyssa Davenport as his ER Doctor. He was immediately smitten but she turned down his request for a date.



In the time since, Braydon inherited a Bed and Breakfast on the island of Antigua from an Uncle, so he and Tyler packed up their lives and relocated. The decision was the best thing that ever happened to them. Ty has been talking about being tired of random women, starting to feel like it was time to settle down. But Bray isn’t ready, probably never will be. When the new guests arrived, Bray had quite a surprise when there stood the woman that he hasn’t been able to get off his mind, the cute ER Doctor that treated him.

Alyssa loves being a Doctor. But her life is also full of pressure, both from her work and from her family. She never seems to be able to please them, always wanting more from her. Now, it’s Alyssa’s turn for her Dossier. Her friends are sending her to Antigua for two weeks. She definitely needs this time to de-stress. She can’t believe it when she sees Braydon, the patient that asked her out. She wanted to say yes but it wouldn’t have been ethical. But he’s not her patient any longer. This vacation is looking better and better.



Bray and Ty have shared women before. When a case of mistaken identity puts Alyson, Bray and Ty all in the room together, with the chemistry between them all zinging like crazy, they introduce Alyson to things she never thought she was capable of.

“The bond of trust between these two men is something I’ve never seen before, and for the first time in…ever…I feel like I belong to something very special.”



Alyson’s feelings quickly grow for these two men, her men, but the time to return home is fast approaching. She has no idea if they feel the same way she does. Both Bray and Ty would do anything for each other, even if it means backing off to let the other have their own happy ending. Isn’t that what Alyson would want? She could never want to stay with them both, could she?



This is a pretty quick read but wowed me from the start. These two men were bossy in the bedroom but oh my gosh, they were so sweet to Alyson. They were both so adorable the way they treated her. And Alyson was just wonderful. She loved being a Dr. She loved helping people. And her positive outlook and ability to adapt to any situation was perfect. These three together were hotter than hot. The screen on my e-reader may have steamed up. So as I said above, this is definitely my favorite of the series. I’m so glad I read it.

3.5 STARS
If you're craving a quick, hot and steamy menage fix, this book is for you!

Best friends make a pact to buy a dream vacation for each other without knowing who goes where with a clause to have the hottest sex of their life.

Big Catch brings the prim and proper doctor Alyssa Davenport to the beautiful Antigua and straight into the arms of a man she met in her ER but couldn't give into the desire between them at the time. There's nothing stopping her now. And the fact that Brayden likes to share everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING with his best friend? Bonus.

If you're looking for strong character development, this book is not for you. You won't find much here. And while I'm not typically a fan of the pure erotica genre, this series seems to do the trick for me. Not much plot, but plenty of sex. Not something I could read on a regular basis, but sure fit the bill for the mood of something easy, hot, and quick.

Scorching Hottt!!!! Super hot and sexy erotic romance story. Loved this one right from the beginning. 2 sexy ass men do their all to give Aly the vacation of a lifetime. And they did that well.

Optional....

I love Cathryn's stories, they're hot, steamy and also a twist no matter how long or short.
This was part of the Dossier series which has been a fun, sexy series to read. This book however did not do it for me.

I look forward to her future books.

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a short but steamy ménage romance. Although, at times, it was a bit predictable with the insta-love aspect, it was an enjoyable read. This was part of the Dossier series but can easily be read as a stand-alone novella.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this novella.

Alyssa goes on vacation as part of a pact she made with her best friends. Each girl draws another's name and sends them on an epic vacation for their twenty-fifth birthday. Her friend sends her to Antigua, in the Caribbean, to a quaint bed and breakfast. Being an emergency room doctor, Alyssa is always strung tight. She vows to try and relax and maybe just maybe, meet a man to enjoy some time with. She's taken aback when the owner of the B & B is a former patient of hers and sexy as hell! Did her girlfriend know he was down here??

Brayden took over the inherited B & B after seeing Alyssa in the emergency room for a possible heart attack. Being a stockbroker was extremely stressful and now it had nearly killed him. So he and his best friend Tyler left for Antigua. When he first sees Alyssa at the vacationer's meet and greet, he knows she need to relax! Living the island life showed him all the stress was weighing him down. He wants Aly to enjoy her vacation and just slow down. He's determined to help her do that.

Alyssa decides to do what her girlfriends want her to do, and that's have an epic vacation. She's determined to go after Brayden, only things don't exactly go as planned. She boldly decides to roll with it. Now she doesn't know if she can leave what she has so quickly grown to love.

I have loved Cathryn Fox's Dossier series from the start, but I think Big Catch is my favorite! I loved how all the woman are strong girls and are determined to not let life pass them by! Being away from the stresses of normal life, allows them to be the bold woman they all want to be. Aly is no exception! She feels vulnerable at times and I connected with her! Brayden and Tyler show Aly that island life is pretty awesome! Two gorgeous men adoring you....Yes please!! You could feel their connection and I just knew things were going to work out! Talk about some steamy, scorching scenes!! Woo hoo! I absolutely adored this book and the entire series!

[Valeen Robertson (Live Thru Books Blog) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aly's the fourth of her friends to take an "epic vacation-where "epic" and "sex" can be interchanged." So she's off to Antigua for some rest and relaxation. She doesn't suspect she'll not only see the gorgeous man who was wheeled into her ER awhile ago and she had to reject when he asked her out, but also his best friend, the man with whom Bray shares EVERYTHING.

When Bray sees the Dr. Davenport again, he can't believe his eyes, and this time he's determined to do as Ty had just suggested and get himself laid, with Aly! But when Aly sneaks into the wrong room and ends up having a hot romp with Ty rather than Bray, will it ruin any chances she has of having a second chance with the ER hottie? Luckily for her, they like to share, and share they do, at least for the duration of Aly's two-week vacation. When the time comes for Aly to go home, will she stay and see where the feelings they've all developed go, or will she head back to her parents' restrictive expectations and her stressful job?

I thought Big Catch was a sweet, super sexy tale. I loved seeing Aly let go of the stress her job and her conservative parents' expectations had wrought upon her. And seeing her find love with Ty and Bray was even better than I had been expecting. I've loved this Dossier series and can't wait for the next one, Brazilian Fantasy.

Cathryn Fox always presents a easy writing style that makes for a quick reader escape. This was a stand-alone because I have not read the first three Dossier and never felt lost or that I was missing out. Bed and Breakfast owners Ty and Braydon are friends that have shared their childhood, business investments, and women. Alyssa arrives for a much needed stress relief vacation from her medical career. When their time together grows intimate; smiles and happiness results. "A copy of this book was provided by Entangled Publishing, LLC via Netgalley with no requirements for a review.

[Steffi · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wasn't aware that this is only a short novella and usually I am not a big fan of this kind of books.

To be honest there isn't a lot of plot and it was way too much insta-love for my liking but still it was kind of enjoyable to read. The book is steamy as hell and has some great characters, especially the guys. Still I was missing some depth and character development. Everything was happening way too fast.

I have read books by Cathryn Fox before and she has a very enjoyable writing style. I still would have preferred this story to be a full-length novel.

The Story in 4 Sentences or Less: Alyssa Davenport doesn’t really want to fulfill the pact she made with her best friends to go to Antigua but she does and hopes that maybe she’ll find someone to help her relax. Former stockbroker Brayden Adams knows he can help her relax, and so can his best friend Tyler. But Alyssa is only there for a vacation, so what happens when more than just fun develops?






Like It? Hate it? Love it? Why? Big Catch is less a romance, more erotica. Actually it’s a bit of a sexual journey for Alyssa and along the way she happens to develop feelings for Brayden and Tyler.

There isn’t much in the way of character development, Big Catch is all erotica, which works like a small bite sized snack once in a while. I enjoyed all three characters and there was definitely no lack in the heat department.


Click It or Skip It? Like I said, if you’re want a sex fueled vacation romp, Big Catch is your ticket!

[Dar · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is never a shock when you get a scorching hot and sexy books from this authour, but I am always caught off-guard at how much emotion she weaves into the storyline. This is no exception, with chemistry already in the air before we meet our heroine. Our two lead men are on the beach discussing their life, where it is at, and where it is going, when Bray remembers the sexy doc he saw before they left New York. Fate puts her at the resort they run together, and a misunderstanding puts her in bed with Ty. Nothing bad about that though, because the boys like share, and she is letting lose on her epic vacation

A holiday fling starts to feel like a whole lot more, but communication isn't the strong point of these three, so it all comes to a head near the end of the book. Luckily, Aly isn't a stupid lady, and she knows what she wants, and is willing to take the chance for them all.

Some really hot scenes are throughout the book, almost from the start, and the chemistry is amazing with these three. The story in-between the sex isn't just there to bridge the sex scenes, but shows who the characters are, and how much the mean to each other. In other words, a really good read!

Big Catch is the fourth book in the Dossier series by Cathryn Fox.
One of Alyssa's friends sets her up on the birthday trip of a lifetime by sending her to somewhere she's never been to the man that she has been crushing on, but could never get close to because he was her patient. Finding Braydon in Antiqua is shocking but all bets are off now because she isn't his doctor and he isn't her patient. What happens in Antiqua stays in Antiqua. This is just for fun!
Braydon and Tyler left their high stress lives and moved to Antiqua to run a B&B after Braydon suffered some major physical symptoms from his high stress job. At twenty-nine years old he was too young to be dealing with that. The only good thing about the whole incident was being treated by Aly and now here she is where all bets are off. It is going to be two weeks of fun! Until it becomes more!

I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

Thank you Publisher and Author
I Give this book a 2 Star Rating

I Would define this book as an ‘OK - Mediocre’ palate cleanser between books, this is a fast read.
Honestly I Need a Palate Cleanser to Clean This One.
Sadly out of the ‘Ménage a Trois’ you only get 2 POVS out of 3 People, if I remember correctly ‘Trois’ means 3 so it should’ve been 3 POV. It was obvious the author had no FREAKING CLUE how a Ménage A Trois works, the sex was booooooring (heat level non existent)

Personally I find it funny that these 2 MEN have been SHARING-WOMEN-TOGETHER for SEVERAL YEARS, and seem to Not be GOOD AT IT.
BWAHAHAHA!!
(SUCH POTENTIAL WASTED!)

There was little to no Drama, this was a Completely Predictable HEA.

Would I read more from this author? Nah.

[Rae Latte · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Dossier series is one full of mystery, sexual fulfillment, and secret desires. Another trip, another friend on a trip of a lifetime. Will this trip to paradise find her fantasies fulfilled.

A wild night of sin will lead to a discovery like no other. Alyssa's trip to Antigua is relaxing, satisfying, and a trip she won't forget.

What will happen when she discovers that she can't live her life without the one thing she wants most? Will her family approve? What will her friends say?

A smokin' hot trip to paradise full of twists, surprises, and lots of chemistry. Another great read in a must read series!

Are you an adventurer willing to embrace your inner desires? After reading this book you might learn to leave a light on ;).

[Heather 123 · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a quick read and while I normally steer clear of novellas because they often lack, I'm glad I gave this one a chance. As with the usual fashion of novellas, it definitely lacked and could have been better if the story had been made into a full length novel instead. There was very little plot in this story, other than the three people falling in love at an incredibly fast pace. No one really objected to their non traditional lifestyle which I found unrealistic. I think the two guys would have had some concern about how their lifestyle might impact the business that they own given that they were so open with their relationship. Again, things I think that could have been elaborated on had the author chosen to expand this book beyond a novella.

Big Catch is Book #4 of the Dossier series, where a group of girl friends take a vow to secretly send the friend they have drawn to a special fantasy place where she will relax and hopefully have a hot steamy romance with Mr. Right on their 25th birthday. This time around it’s Alyssa’s turn for the fun. This is a true Cathryn Fox story, hot, steamy and playful between all the characters involved. I’m not much of a MFM reader anymore, but I liked the setting of the book in Antigua. Quick story, and if you like the MFM adventure, then this book is definitely for you.

Alyssa goes on vacation to get some much needed rest from her physician job. Her friend sets her up for a two week vacation in Antigua. She's shocked to see the hunky patient who asked her out in New York as the owner of the inn where she's staying. Not only does Brayden own the inn, but so does his childhood best friend Tyler. Alyssa is very attracted to Brayden, and makes a daring decision that can dramatically alter her well planned future. After a case of mistaken identity, she starts a sexy, erotic relationship. I love how caring, and loving their threesome becomes. Can all three of them follow their hearts, or must they do what society and their families think they should do?

[Cheryl Sanders · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 4 in the Dossier series and it features a Alyssa, Braydon and Tyler. This is a sexy, erotic romance and it deals with the stress of work, family and trying to make everyone happy at the same time. The relationship between the guys is closer than brothers, even though they share no blood. The way they share and care for Alyssa is beautiful and the way she cares for them both equally, even though she met Braydon first along time ago, shows how much they are meant to be together.

This fabulous short is full of great characters and amazingly steamy sex! I look forward to reading more from this fantastic author.

Every once in a while I like to read out side my comfort zone. This book is not my usual read, but it was something different. And sometimes, change is a good thing. I am not usually a fan of threesomes. But, Big Catch was a quick and fun read for me. A doctor, Alyssa, throws caution to the wind, heads on a vacation she didn't want to go on, to find something she never knew she wanted.

There she meets Brayden and Tyler. They chow her things she never knew she wanted or needed. Everything changes for all 3 of them after they meet each other.

Alyssa is sent on her dossier little does she know she is getting way more than she bargained for. She never imagined how much fun she would have cockle fishing in Antigua. She also would have never imagined what an experience she would have with the guys who runs the fishing business.

Bray and Ty are best friends and share everything. Both were successful businessmen on Wall Street until the stress was just too much. Bray inherited a bed and breakfast on Antigua, so they both move and are enjoying a stress-free life. When Alyssa, a Doctor from New York shows up looking pretty stressed out herself, they know just what they plan to do. Quick read with lots of steam. I liked it.

Braydon is such a generous man, "he presses his mouth to the sensitive spot on my neck. “You don’t need a reason to kiss me. Let’s make that a rule. Kissing whenever we want.” Ty and Bray are very serious men, “we never kid about orgasms,” Ty says, his face deadpan. “Never,” Bray agrees." I liked this book, Ty and Bray were really good men.

I love the idea of this series. It's like a secret santa for vacations that are tailor made for the recipient to help loosen them up or get them to realize what they really want out of life and romance. This was a hot menage story and a quick read. I will be trying to find time to read the other books in the series.

The dynamic between Bray Ty and Aly is a steamy one. I like how Cathryn set up a back story between blay and aly as they had met in New York before she went on vacation to their villa. It gives it a more realistic feeling of her falling into bed with him as there was chemistry before she headed on vacation. Cathryn is a great story teller.

[Maria Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 4th book in the 'dream vacation of a lifetime with the hope of hot sex!' series, set up by a group of girlfriends to treat each other to a new experience. In this story, ER doc Alyssa gets a chance to reconnect with a patient she'd met back in New York who'd wanted to date her, and whom she'd turned down for ethical reasons. Now in Antigua on her holiday, she not only runs into Braydon but his best friend Tyler who are running a resort together. They're not averse to sharing women, and though Alyssa is first attracted to Braydon, a case of mistaken identity in the dark of night lands her in bed with Tyler. From there its a sexy menage treat as the three of them find some fun and inventive ways to spend Alyssa's holiday and a way to a real happy ever after. It's a fun and sexy novella, and each story in the Dossier series has delivered the same!
