This was a decent story and I somewhat enjoyed both of the heroes and the heroine. However, nothing really stood out making it a great book. It was an okay erotic romance.
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!
3.5⭐⭐⭐ This was an enjoyable sexy mfm read where 2 best friends who own a resort make the most of two weeks spent with one of there guests, a sexy doctor who has come to let down her hair. It was a short, sweet, hot read.

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 have himself some fun, 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.
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.
I don't normally read a lot of MFM stories, but decided to try this one since I had read the others in the series and it sounded good. But it was even better than I thought. Brayden was pretty good but add in a second alpha male who was a protector and nurtured, and hello, it was more than interesting. The scenes with Alyssa, Brayden, and Tyler were sweet, gentle, and so hot. I loved how their story played out. Beautifully written and great end to their story.
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.
3 1/2 STARS!
When the woman he's been fantasizing about walks back into his life, Braydon Adams knows he's just hit the jackpot of all opportunities! With a fun dip into menage, Cathryn Fox brings us the latest installment in her Dossier series. It wasn't my favorite in the series because the backstory felt lacking ... possibly if we had experienced their meeting back in New York it would have lent more substance ... but none-the-less, it was an enjoyable spicy read!
ER doc Alyssa Davenport didn't expect to find herself on an exotic vacation, but she finally can't get out of paying up on her New Year's bet with her besties, so here she is in Antigue! She just wants this craziness over and done with so she can get back home, but when she runs into a familiar face, she decides it might not be so bad here after all!
Braydon Adams hasn't forgotten the sexy doctor that he met shortly before quitting his job and moving to Antigue with his best friend Tyler to run a hotel and fishing business. When she shows up on one of his fishing charters, he knows it won't be long before he has her in his bed ... but when surprising circumstances have him thinking she prefers Tyler to him, a crazy mix up leads to a fun time to be had by all!
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!
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?
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.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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. I can’t wait to get my hands on some more books by Cathryn Fox. This was such a great quick and easy read.
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?
Thanks NetGalley and Scorched for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
My least favorite so far but it was still great. For such a short read, the characters were well developed and had great chemistry. I could feel the love between them. My only complaint was the repetitive love scenes. Some variation would have been nice and would have propelled this to five stars. Still a sexy 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!

Sizzling! Packed with loads of sizzle and sex-a-licious fun, Big Catch is a total page turning treat, that had my e-reader overheating. Hot, erotic and passionate. This is a story about three people coming together through a vacation fling and finding love together. Definitely an entertaining read. Off the charts steamy with sweetness on the side.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I received a copy via NetGalley; this is my honest review. #BigCatch #NetGalley
Erotica menage at its best. Contrary to many open door stories this one has a story line going on in the background and it's interesting. There's also all the little happenings in the village where they are that makes it all realistic. Great sex scenes with no pressure on anyone's part.
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!
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.
I love this series each girl gets her own exciting experience outside of her normal life. They can all be read as standalones
** I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**
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.
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.
