Olivia was the best thing that ever happened to me. But she’s a good girl, and I have a side that is far too dark for a minister’s daughter. When she started talking about plans after graduation, the only thing I could do was run back to Italy—to protect her from me. But she’s back in my life, and I need a wife before I can take full ownership of our failing vineyard and hotel. Only problem is, I want her again. No way can I put my hands on her. One kiss, one taste, could unleash the side of me that would only scare her.
If she discovers my dark side, I don’t know if she’ll flee back to the states, or surrender to me. What she doesn’t know is she already owns me, and if she leaves, I’ll never be the same.

My Review

If you are looking for a hot, steamy, sexy book that has m/m romance, m/f/m romance, menage, BDSM, and some very epic sex, you’ve come to the right book. Private Reserve is the first book I’ve read from Cathryn Fox and it definitely won’t be my last.

Cathryn Fox puts a little bit of everything in Private Reserve in such a short book. It was packed with heat immediately, when the female character, Olivia is off to experience her epic sex due to her sponsor who has sent her to Italy to find it. She never realized she was going to come across other lovers having epic sex near her villa she’s staying at. She is more than determined to find her own epic sex and it may come from someone she never thought she come across again. I don’t want to get into much of the story because I will end up giving too much away and I definitely don’t want to do that.

I enjoyed every bit of Private Reserve’s storyline, especially when second chance lovers get back together and more. I was actually aching for more at the end, especially how Cathryn left the characters. I will warn you, the scenes will beyond HOT. 🙂

I give this book 4.5 stars and look forward to reading much more from Cathryn Fox in the very near future. If you are fan of Cathryn Fox or even a new fan of Cathryn Fox, like me, I highly recommend reading this book.

If you are a fan of Cathryn Fox, please recommend the next book that I should read from her in the comments, while I wait for the next Dossier book. 🙂

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
