This was a new author for me. Although it was a short read I really enjoyed the story. It was a very hot and very steam read with nice romance in it. I will be looking at more of her books. Nicely done!
This was a fun book to read. The characters were entertaining. The setting was good. The supporting characters were excellent.
Harper feels at a lost. Her life is consumed by her work. Getting ahead was something that drove her to be successful and helping others was exactly who she was. A mixup led her to meeting Will and his wonderful family. Her secret was something she feared would get out when she finally felt at home. Will she be able to find love when all she has known was loneliness? Great short story.
Very good, very sexy, very intriguing from start to finish! Definitely enjoyed this book from the author!
I voluntarily read an advanced review copy of this book
Harper ends up at the wrong address and instead of saying sorry I think I am in the wrong place... she gets mesmerized by billionaire Will Thomas.
What should have been a trip filled with bedroom adventures quickly turns to something else when Harper can't seem to talk herself out of a bad case of mistaken identity.
Overall this book was ok. I thought this book was very well written I just thought that with the title there would have been a lot more heat.
Sad this is the last book for the series, but I've enjoyed each book, and this one was no exception! I couldn't wait to get to Harper's story and this didn't disappoint. Harper and Will have an unusual meeting (a case of mistaken identity on the part of Will's family). Plenty, and I mean PLENTY of heat and chemistry between Will and Harper.
Cathryn Fox writes such sizzling hot stories. I will pretty much read anything she writes and this one is no exception. The heat levels on this is off the charts. Be prepared to need a cool drink after this.
Not really my cup of tea. This starts out on the wrong foot. This is a lie from the start. You stay with some family you don’t know and mislead them because you think they are nice and you always wanted a family like that!? Okay, did you think once the lie was out they wouldn’t like you anymore because you lied? Makes no sense. Then under the ruse you set up you have sex with the cousin? Okay your moral compass is a tad off true north here.
There was a ton of sex, a ton. The plot goes fast and it is love at first sight instant soul mate i need you forever.
It Was not for me, others will love it. Writing not bad.
Received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
Cathryn Fox's Improper Proposal is a hot sexy read. It's a twisty turny book with lots of fun. Good overall.
I have read some books from this author and I love her writing style, this isn't an exception!It was sweet,fun and super hot!Fast paced and the story was enjoyable!Will had the sexiest, filthiest mouth and I loved it. I couldn't get enough of him!He is perfect for Harper and exactly what she needed!
I received an arc from Netgalley. Sent on a singles adventure Harper winds up at the wrong castle, or is it the wrong castle if she found her mister right? Good short read.
Well, I am on the fence here. I have loved the entire Dossier series, but this book didn't have the same vibe as the previous ones! All of them have been very intriguing and inventive with the storylines. This one fell a bit short there.
The whole story of being in the wrong house-and knowing you are not supposed to be there-and then staying, seemed to be a stretch. I understand this happening in the beginning since the premise is unknown adventure, but this continued for days!
Anyhow, Harper meets Will and there are instant sparks! It's because of this and Will's all-over hunky-ness that allows me to overlook the reason she stays there. I loved them as a couple and they were sizzling together!
For whatever reason, this didn't push my buttons! I was disappointed for sure, but I would not hesitate recommending the Dossier series as a whole! The ending with all the couples was very rewarding!
Improper Proposal is the final book in the Dossier series.
It was a bit shorter than I expected and, therefore, the characters not as well developed. I suppose I could have missed some character development in the prior novels though.
I wasn't crazy about the hero's instant assumption that the heroine, Harper, is a gold digger. It felt a little shaming to me.
Otherwise, I thought the attraction between Harper and Will is believable and hot, hot, hot! Overall, an enjoyable, quick read.
Many thanks to the Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.
the last of the dossier novellas, improper proposal, ends with the story of the girl who started it all. harper clark is thrilled to finally get her turn for a weekend of epic sex. she's not the type to believe in love and happily ever afters.
but she's not quite sure she's at the right address. but when the girl who grew up with no family is welcomed into the scottish castle and told by a family that they've been waiting for her. she's delighted, confused, and pretty sure that they have the wrong girl. they believe that she's a surprise from their cousin/son/nephew/grandson george.
given that harper hasn't met george she's certain that's not it. but then she meets their american cousin will thomas. and she can't stop thinking of him. and when he proposes that they have all the sex. she can't stop herself from giving in.
except things get turned on their head and everyone is up in arms before will can get a handle on the situation. how can he make things right with harper? she's the only woman who happens to be exactly what he was looking for.
**improper proposal will publish on june 18, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (scorched) in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion. I thought the cover was very smexy, and the title aptly named the book. My first by the author.
Harper Clark is getting close to her 25th birthday as her friends send her on an escapade to find a man. Soon she finds herself at a castle and quickly sees that she's in a situation over her head. Within a day she falls in love with the family and every time she tries to extract herself she is pulled in deeper.
Enter Will Thomas.... he gets close to Harper thinking she's just a gold digger and he tries to expose her but his attraction to her is serious.
This was a cute novelette sized story which could have been better had it been longer or fleshed out more, plus this is the first I've read of the series so it may have made my reading experience better had I read them all. Still I enjoyed the story and how she got herself in the situation. I mean come on? Castles with numbers? I gave it three stars for entertainment!
Mistaken identity makes this a fun, sexy read that gripped me from the beginning. Harper is lost and finds herself at a castle where she is informed that they were waiting for her. As it was her friend that sent her on an adventure and failing to reveal any details, she doesnt realise that she is in fact, in the wrong place, but that doesn't matter when she meets Will.
Couldn;t put this down.

Improper Proposal by Cathryn Fox is book Six in the Dossier Series. This is the story of Harper Clark and Will Thomas. I have read the previous book but feel this is easily a standalone book. This series is set up of friends who give the one choose on their special day to go off on an adventure. This is Harper's adventure that leads her to Will. Their attraction was instant and hot! This was a quick easy (hot) read that truly enjoyed.
This was a first for me from this author, and while the writing itself flowed well, I wasn't a fan of this story line. I know there are other stories in this series, but I didn't feel left out. Harper is on a "birthday mission" set up by another friend. She ends up at the wrong house, and instead of speaking up, goes along with it. Now, this story is only 87 pages long, so there isn't really time to go into a lot of story. However, it would have taken exactly one sentence to say "Sorry, I'm not the person you're looking for". I really didn't like Harper for that reason. I understand she didn't have a family, but you just can't go around pretending to get what you want.
I voluntarliy reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.
Harper is mistaken by George’s family as their surprise from him. She should tell them the truth that she’s on a trip to get laid, not fall in love with each of them and all their wonderfulness. After all, she gave up on being a part of a family a long time ago. She certainly shouldn’t be lusting after George’s cousin Will. But good intentions and all of that.
Will senses something isn’t all it appears to be when he meets Harper. He has to keep his distance from her because what he’s feeling is not how he should feel about his cousin’s fiancée. Then again, no need to make the mistake of welcoming a gold digger into their family. And he knows just how to go about testing her.
This was such a cute, fun read. While the characters each had their own struggle with relationships, it didn’t rule the story. Both Will and Harper eventually work through what separates them but there’s one little thing Harper needs to share and she just hasn’t found the time to do it yet. It was pretty typical but entertaining nonetheless.
This is a fast paced read with plenty of steam and I loved the secondary characters. The resolution was satisfying and we had a nice little ending to sum up the series.

Are you in the mood for a nicely-written novella that is chock full of sexual desire? Then pick up a copy of Improper Proposal by Cathryn Fox, and immerse yourself in an erotic yet poignant story. This is the final book from the sizzling Dossier series, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
Harper Clark is a hard-working lawyer from New York City. It is her turn to go on an adventure and experience epic sex. As a result, she ends up standing in front of a castle in Northern England. To Harper's amazement, the wealthy family that takes her in believes her to be their son's new girlfriend, the big surprise that he has told them to expect. Billionaire Will Thomas, a first cousin, is also from New York City. He is in town to be a part of his cousin's big news, which is not Harper.
Harper and Will share an instant chemistry which evolves into lust and love. They both know that Harper needs to come clean with his family, but the time never seems to be right. Once Harper's secret is discovered, she quickly returns to the States. Like a Hallmark movie, Harper and Will end up together.
Ms. Fox does an amazing job of combining a sexy story with a creative plot. Harper and Will are extremely likable, and so is Will's extended family. Their sexy times are steamy, and Will's dominance is hot. Lastly, this novella has a wonderful ending that will leave you with a huge smile on your face.
