Daycare worker Piper Young is sent by her best friend to Brazil for a vacation and got her a place to stay with her cousin. When Piper arrives she finds out that her vacation also includes babysitting a little girl named Maddie. She comes to find out that Lucas is widowed and is having trouble finding help for his daughter, she also finds him to be very attractive. Piper being caught off guard goes along with the plan since she is dealing with her break up and she adores the little girl. When Lucas finds out what happens later he begins to spend more time with the two of them and begins to notice his daughter is coming out of her shell, he is also noticing how well Piper looks in a bikini and when the two of them share a kiss they realize the passion for each other. Now the only question is will Piper stay or go back to the U.S.? Read this good book to find out.
Piper was all set for a three week vacation in paradise. Life hasn’t exactly worked out like she planned. Failure to get promoted at her job and her boyfriend deciding he wants other things in life have her reevaluate life and embrace a trip of a lifetime. Sounds absolutely amazing right?! However their is a slight catch. It seems someone has failed to mention she will be a nanny to a little girl who is struggling with her mother’s death. Her father makes the breath halt in Piper’s throat and makes her life might have more in store for her than she originally thought. Will she find what she is looking for and change her mind about so many things she believed?
Another great read about a woman seeking out a fantasy when what she wanted was right in front of her. Friends really do know what we need. Sometimes in order to find love you need to step out of your comfort box and find it in the most unexpected place.
A very hot read!

Entangled Scorched titles are shorter and erotic. And, this one met both of those requirements. It wasn't excellent, and it was definitely instalove, but it was enjoyable overall.
Piper is a daycare teacher who thinks she is going on an exotic vacation. Lucas is a widower with a daughter who stopped speaking after her mother's death.
The sex with Lucas and Piper was hot, it was steamy, and the attraction between them was interesting, and it was intense. As this was a shorter story, and it is erotic, this was expected and the instant nature of their attraction needed to happen.
While I did enjoy this overall, I thought Lucas trusted Piper with his daughter a little quickly. Other than that, this book worked for me, and I enjoyed it overall.
This is the second title I've read in the Dossier series, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Piper's dossier sends her to Brazil. Recently passed over for a promotion and dumped for a woman who wants a family, Piper is ready to get away from her problems. Alyssa is responsible for the distraction and ensuring that Piper rings in her birthday with a bang. Piper's destination isn't what she expects. She finds a hot Brazilian dad, who happens to be Alyssa's cousin, and his adorable daughter. Unbeknownst to her, this mission is at least part babysitting. Will she be able to walk away when she sees how much Maddie needs her? Moreover, will she be able to resist the pull of Lucas drawing her closer? This wasn't what she wanted or what she signed up for, but has Piper found what she needed in Brazil?
This is another quick and highly enjoyable read from Ms Fox!

Okay, I read the first one is this series and wanted to read all of them, but either I forgot about them or didn't get approved for the ARC. I don't think its the latter. Anyway, great story with a sweet little girl, sexy Brazilian man, and a daycare teacher (who has amazing friends). Lots of sexy times with a little angst and lots of romance thrown in.
Naughty Naughty - hot well-written story. Kind of short but worth the time. Ms. Fox has done an excellent job with Piper and Lucas's story. The plot was engaging and packed with heat.
Fox wrote a novel that has a little of everything for the reader. Hot sexy location of Rio, super hot single father who is Brazilian, billionaire, and the nanny. It is not just hot guy who hooks up with the nanny at all.
Quick fast read that has a bit of a kick to it.
Piper Young needs to get out of her dating rut. Luckily, her friends have sent her to a beautiful place where she can hopefully let loose and have the adventure of a lifetime. However, once she gets to Brazil, she finds she'll be babysitting the daughter of Lucas, a gorgeous Billionaire. But the more she gets to know Lucas, the more she finds herself captivated and wanting things she never thought she wanted. Will Piper and Lucas get their happy ever after?
This was a super quick read for me and I loved it from the beginning. Piper is looking to have some fun and get away from her job as a Daycare Teacher, but it seems she can't escape that world. Will she leave or will she help the little girl finally recover from the trauma she's suffered of losing her mother the way she did? However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine come face-to-face for the first time that had me really enjoying this story, as there's instant chemistry between Lucas and Piper that just keeps getting stronger the more they interact. Will Lucas be able to win Piper over? Will Piper be able to help Lucas heal from the hurts of his past?
As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories, as both have been hurt by past relationships, but I liked how they helped each other move forward. Certainly, Lucas's daughter needs Piper as much as Piper needs her to realize that she should want more in life than being a Daycare Teacher and having great friends; things such as love and children. Moreover, I liked that once the heroine accepted her new adventure wasn't going to be as adventurous as what she thought, I liked how she did her best to seduce the hero. Will her plan work? I also liked the growing bond between the heroine and the hero's daughter, especially since the young girl doesn't communicate with anyone after all she's been through. Will Piper be able to help the little girl find her voice again?
While the hero, he's been through tough times with what happened to his ex and the guilt he's felt since her passing. However, the hardest he's suffered is not being able to help his daughter enough and I liked that he gave Piper a chance, even knowing that when they first meet she doesn't seem happy to be caring for a child. I also liked how confident the hero is and that he goes after what he wants and what he wants is Piper. Will he get a second chance at forever after?
Overall, Ms. Fox has penned another fantastic read for this series where the romance was fan-your-face hot and totally steamy; and the ending had me loving the choices the heroine makes when it comes to being with the hero. How could she not want her life to change for the better, especially when love, family and happiness are the reward? I would recommend Brazilian Fantasy by Cathryn Fox, if you enjoy a quick read with lots of heat between the characters or books by authors Naima Simone, Nina Croft, Samanthe Beck and Tessa Bailey.
Piper is arriving in Rio on her epic twenty-fifth birthday trip planned by one of her best friends. She's starting a three week much needed vacation! She's been through the ringer lately as her fiancé broke it off, she's been paying her bills by working at a day care, while trying to find a job utilizing her business degree, and she's just plain stressed! Sun and fun is on her agenda!
Only not is all that it seems! When she gets to her destination, its a picturesque home along the water and a rather handsome man, Lucas, greets her. She's very confused. Lucas talks of we and us, so Piper assumes she has a rental room in a couples house-like a B and B. But then she notices a small child. Lucas mentions her being the fill in nanny for his daughter, Maddie, and Piper is wondering why her friend would set her up to do this when she needed to get away from her job with kids! Lucas figures out pretty quick his cousin has set them both up. After a call to Alyssa, she explains about the dossier and Piper needing to have an epic vacation. Plus she knew it was time for Lucas to start living again. The death of his wife saddled Lucas with mounds and mounds of guilt, and Maddie hasn't spoken since that dreadful day. When Lucas tells Piper what Alyssa set up, she decides not to turn her back on them. He's pretty easy on the eyes after all!
I loved the story and I loved how Piper approached her position to help both of them. Piper and Lucas had an amazing chemistry which just kept heating up until it boiled over! They seemed like a very good fit for each other and just understood one another. I was miffed that Alyssa would send her best friend on a nanny job for a vacation, but it ended up being so much more. Not only was Piper helping them, they were helping Piper too. Everybody had a bit of baggage to sort through! It definitely was an original, intriguing, and inventive story!
All of the books in the Dossier series can be read as standalone books. Brazilian Fantasy is book five. I know once you read any one book in this series, you will be clamoring to read the rest! They are THAT GOOD!! I am a fan of Cathryn because she continues to give us interesting stories along with some pretty great characters! You want to be them, or know them, or go on their adventures with them! She has a knack of drawing you in and you really do not want to stop reading once you start!

Its' Pipers turn to receive her dossier. She is sent to Brazil to her friends cousins house. Little does she know she is the nanny. Eventually this little girl and her father will find their way into Pipers heart.
This is one of my favorite stories each story only gets better.

This story is smoking HOT! It is the fifth book in the Dossier series written by Cathryn Fox.
Piper is spending three weeks in Rio De Janeiro for her twenty-fifth birthday courtesy of her friend Alyssa, but when she gets there she is surprised that it involves a young single father who needs a nanny for his daughter. This isn't what she signed up for!
Lucas needs a nanny for his daughter and believes that is what he is getting when his cousin Alyssa says that she has the perfect person for the job, but Piper doesn't seem to know anything about it and his attraction to her is combustible.
Short read. Didn't enjoy it as much as others of Cathryn but it had a cute ending.

Holy tingling shirttails, Batman! Brazilian Fantasy is the definition of scorching hot and sexy.
Piper is finally due her very own secret dossier birthday extravaganza. And she is all ready to get her socks rocked off when she arrives at the impressive house in Rio. When hunky Lucas opens the door, she believes all her fantasies are actually coming true… that is until she meets Maddie, Lucas’ 4-year-old and the little girl she’s supposed to be nannying for the next three weeks.
Lucas is ready to kill his cousin when he realizes the friend she sent him to cover for the nanny has no clue why she is here… and he has a feeling his cousin was hoping the sweet and sexy non-nanny would take care of more than just little Maddy.
With extremely combustible chemistry, Lucas and Piper can’t hold off for too long and are soon entangled in an incredibly hot affair. She’ll only be there for three weeks, so they might as well make the best use of the time they have. Right? They just have to remember to keep their hearts out of the equation… Easy-peasy.
Lucas is one sexy geek. Of course, the only geeky part is his occupation. He has the muscles, the looks and the alphaness to make Piper’s panties melt, and he most definitely knew how to handle himself. The way he was with his little girl was what made him completely drool-worthy.
Piper was sweet, caring and sassy. I loved how playful she could be and how against her better judgment she decided to stay and help Maddie overcome her trauma.
I loved everything about this story. Their chemistry was absurdly hot, their sextivities off-the-charts scorching, their banter funny. How little Maddie opened up to Piper was super sweet and I enjoyed watching them become a family.
I felt the ending was a bit rushed. Everything worked out way too fast, and by worked out I mean the three of them magically overcame their deep-set issues. Other than this little hiccup, Brazilian Fantasy was a totally satisfying quick read you’ll want to read at home… unless you carry spare underwear wherever you go. Fun, hot and sexy, this is one quickie you won’t want to miss.
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.*
Another winner in the Dossier series. This one tugged at my heart strings. I would have actually enjoyed this as a full length novel. It was super sexy (that club scene, ahhh), but at the same time Maddie made it so endearing. Perfect, quick read!

The appeal of the Dossier series is "GIRL POWER". Amidst the naughty allure is a strong bond of friendship. Through the storm, these women laugh, cry and encourage other. Even if that means pushing each other to step outside of their comfort zones. Brazilian Fantasy is Piper's story. For Piper Rio De Janeiro is the beginning of escapade. She finds a couple of surprising developments at the end of her destination. (1.) The greatest temptation is one you never saw coming. (2.) Giving away your heart is the biggest risk of them all. Cathryn Fox doesn't hold back with Piper and Lucas. Her aim is tried and true.
