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.

I've read a couple of the previous books in the Dossier series and have enjoyed them both. However Big Catch, although good didn't really draw me in. Don't get me wrong I liked the characters, and the setting. Plus it was a very quick easy read. I just didn't feel the characters created much in the way of chemistry. And the whole ménage relationship just fell a little flat for me. But I'm sure anyone who is looking for a quick ménage insta love story will enjoy this.

Alyssa is going to get more than she bargained for in her dossier. With friends like these, I'm jealous.

A pact that leads to a thoroughly investigated and research epic vacation. Each woman gets her own birthday present presented to her in a dossier. Bags packed, trip planned, and only given the folder...

Alyssa's takes the good doctor to Antigua. For a relaxing vacation that takes on a new form of epic!

Just like the others, Big Catch is naughty fun with a twist.

Big Catch is book four in the Dossier series. I just devoured this book! A quick hot steamy read with all the trimmings. Be sure to grab your copy and steam up the Christmas spirit.

the latest entry in the dossier series, big catch, finds dr. alyssa davenport on holiday in antigua. when she encounters her hot er patient, brayden, she's quickly clued into the fact that it's no coincidence her dossier holder chose to send her of all things, cockle fishing. she didn't even know what cockles were until this trip.

in new york, she'd had to let brayden go because it would have been unethical to pursue something with him. but here and now she has no such restrictions. so she goes after what she wants. except she accidentally ends up in bed with tyler, brayden's business partner. the man he shares everything with.

everything. even his women. and it becomes clear that there is only one woman that either of them is interested in. and alyssa finds that away from all the pressures of new york, it's possible that she's found her truest self on antigua. not just her purpose, but then men who make her feel cherished, sexy and alive.

i do wish that we could have had some of tyler's actual perspective in the novella, but both brayden and alyssa give us a sense of his feelings. and their feelings for him. so it works.

**big catch will publish on december 11, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (scorched) in exchange for my honest review.

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.

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!

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.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

My first Catherine Fox book and it won't be my last. I went into Big Catch not knowing it was the 4th book in a series and that was OK. I love Fox's very easy to read style. Her pacing was great and I found the book really hard to put down. The romance was really good and I loved the twist. I need to read Dossier's 1-3! Looking forward to more from Fox.

Brayden Adams can’t get Dr Davenport out of his head, he asked her out in the emergency room when she was treating him for a suspected heart attack but she turned him down flat. He escaped from his rat race life to run a holiday business in Antigua with his best friend, Tyler and can’t believe his eyes when she walks into his hotel. I loved this story because there isn’t any anguish and unnecessary drama. You hope things will work out and enjoy the story along the way.

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.

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.

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.

My firsbook by Cathryn Fox. This was a fun, quick read. I enjoyed it.

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!

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.
