“A Cathryn Fox book is a must read great escape.” – Sylvia Day #1 New York Times bestselling author. 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, … 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.

Holy shit, Private Reserve is down and dirty and hot! Olivia is on a friend sponsored birthday vacation in Italy at a beautiful vineyard when she stumbles upon two hot men, one named Lucas and one wearing a hat hiding his face, having hot, dirty, dominating sex. Olivia is jealous because she wants to inspire that kind of heat in a man and for him to take her like that, she wants to be dominated and used and for him to set her dormant desires on fire. A short time later her ex, the one who broke her heart two years earlier when he broke up with her, sees her at the vineyard (his family’s vineyard) and proposes marriage on the spot, causing Olivia to choke on the grape she had just thrown into her mouth.
When Gio comes to her rescue and dislodges the grape stuck in her throat that’s cutting off her oxygen, dread spreads through her heart. She’s never gotten over the man who shredded her heart, and she regrets letting her friends convince her that this vacation where she’s not to come home until she’s had “legendary sex-delicious, salacious, rough and dirty, ‘bang me against the wall and leave me bruised’ sex.” was a good idea. But, as Gio explains why he needs her to marry him (so he can take control of the vineyard and modernize it), she thinks perhaps she can do it, after all, she’ll get something out of this fake marriage – her dream job, then she can be the one to leave Gio after he takes control of his vineyard.
Of course, that’s not what happens, as the feelings Olivia has always had for Gio are still there, and Gio’s own dark desires come out to play when he realizes just how naughty his new, fake, wife is, that she’s not the sweet, innocent pastor’s daughter he had thought she was while they were together two years earlier. When Gio realizes he can have both halves of his soul, Olivia and Luca, his best friend and lover, a hot scene plays out and Olivia gets more than she had ever bargained for when she set out on her 25th birthday vacation.
If you like MM, MMF, or even just dirty, dominating kind of sex, I highly suggest you check out Private Reserve. It may be short, and lacking a lot of backstory and things like deep feelings, but it’s seriously hot and all three characters are likable and interesting, especially Luca.
Olivia is on her way towards a vacation from her life. Her close friends made a pact for each one to send another on a trip of a lifetime and have epic sex, when they turn twenty-five. She ends up in Italy-Tuscany to be exact and staying in a vineyard. All she sees is older people. Some trip of a lifetime. Just then she spots Gio. Her college love of her life. who left her. Heartbroken. What’s the chance of this being his family’s vineyard?? Her best friends couldn’t know could they??
Gio left Olivia and moved back to Italy to protect her from himself. She was a minister’s daughter, and he had darker needs. He’s never gotten over her. When she shows up out of the blue in his vineyard, fate has dealt him a gift he will not squander. In order to take over the family business, he needs to marry. The vineyard is failing. How can he get Olivia to help him? Problem is, I can’t touch her. I couldn’t stop and she deserves nice. I can’t always be nice….
And then there is Luca, Gio’s best friend, and lover….. How can he fit into the mix?-if he even can….. Maybe the good girl is ready to be very naughty….
What an interesting scenario. I love the Dossier series! I first read book two, House Rules, and had to go back and read book one! Short, spicy reads that pack a lot of story on the pages! Gio and Olivia never stopped loving each other. It was lack of communication that drove them apart. Now that they are older, they have an idea what they want, and it’s each other. Their chemistry was spiking from the pages and I felt their connection. I love second chance love stories and this is one of the better ones I have read. The interesting twist is the best friend and how he fit. I liked the addition and it seemed right within the story! This turned into one sizzling MFM read!!
Good character building. Intriguing world building. Fast, easy to read. A great amount of heat almost right off the bat.
There’s a lot of …”frustration” in wanting the characters to just be honest with each other, to just communicate already! It’s what builds the tension in the story.
It does have M/M and F/M/M scenes. Responsible, informed, consenting adults safely engage in erotic playtime.
