In her last installment of the Dossier series, Cathryn Fox doesn't disappoint. It the perfect end to this fun and sensual series. I enjoy the way her stories flow, this one is a quick paced if you want to just escape for a few hours.

Naughty fun is always around when it involves a dossier. These epic sex adventures are worth the romp. In this sexy story, it's a case of mistaken address and an entirely different adventure. But as always, the Dossier adventures have the ending of your dreams- naughty, dirty talking dreams, but dreams none the less.

I will say though that of the Dossiers I've read, this one was kind of a let down. It's not as intense. They have chemistry, yes. However, the situation is off because of the perceived attachment.

It's still a fun read. I wish I had these kinds of friends or even adventures. Happy Ever After!

Sexy & Hot! Have loved this series of sexy, entertaining and hot stories about epic trips that have brought true love that I am sorry that this is the last in this series. I have been a big fan of Cathryn Fox stories, she definitely knows how to bring the sexy and the heat as well as love to all her stories.
Harper came up with the idea two years ago, at a New Years Eve party, for all her friends to put their names, in a hat and to draw one name and each girl would sponsor an epic twenty-fifth Birthday vacation for whichever friend they picked. She is the last one to get her epic journey. Harper Isn’t looking for love, she is only looking for some Epic, Hot, Sex. But when Harper ends up at possibly the wrong castle in the middle of the English countryside, will her epic journey lead to her epic sex or will her journey be a bust. But soon Harper finds that her mistake might just be fate, that leads her to everything, that she has ever wanted.
Loved Harper and Will’s sexy escapades, as well as their sizzling chemistry. You don’t want to miss this series.

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!

Hmm, case of mistaken identity or she's simply lost? And who just let's a complete stranger into their home with open arms? Sigh.
If you can get past the incredulity of the premise, the story is hot enough to light a bonfire. It starts off slow and then smolders a whole bunch!

I’m a little torn with this book. I have read several of the books in the series and they are fun and ingenious. Not to mention very spicy and hot.

I was so excited to be able to read and review this new release since it is the last of the series. So I had high hopes. But what really confused me was the fact that the main character went into someone’s home even though she knew she shouldn’t be there. Not to mention she stayed for days without telling the truth.

For me that kind of put a damper on the whole story. Will is amazingly hot - so flippin delicious that he easily offsets the annoyance factor of the plot. I love them together. Sizzling

But I just didn’t get the feels for this story. It seems like something is missing. Maybe it’s me, I’m not sure. But I think the whole lie scenario left a bad taste in my mouth.

I love Ms. Fox and this series but this one didn’t push all my buttons.

I have followed this series since the beginning and have loved every installation. While I am not a fan of instalust, Fox gives her characters such depth and couples chemistry in such a small amount of pages. Will and Harper are both likable and believable, coming off as people rather than characters. Will’s family is also an absolute delight. While I am sad to see it end, it has been an enjoyable journey.

3.25⭐
This was a quick, hot easy read. With likable characters that kept me engaged throughout. Yet it didn't grab me as much as some of the earlier books in this series have and there wasn't that combustible chemistry between the main characters either. But it was a good read and a nice ending to the series.

If you are looking for a sexy dirty romance than lookno further. This book did not disappoint! Harper and Will had chemistry from the moment they met in a very weird situation. Harper arrived at the castle looking for an epic sexcapade but soon realized she was at the wrong castle. Or was she? I think this book gives you everything you need. A sweet story, some background, and some dirty sexy scenes! If this is the type of book you enjoy than I highly recommend this one!!!

Part of series but can be read as a standalone, This is the story of mistaken identity and the hilarity that can ensue. It is Harper's time for her adventure and from page 1 it is a fun adventure. Both Harper and Will are delightful characters and the entire family are entertaining. The ending and epilogue were super sweet. .

“Definitely the right place and the right man”

I received an Advance Reader Copy for Improper Proposal (Dossier, Book #6) written by Cathryn Fox and voluntarily reviewed this book. I haven’t read any of the books in this Dossier Novella series yet, but I am loving this one! Junior partner Harper Clark from Pratt and Winfrey Law Firm is way across the pond in Northern England fresh off a flight from NY, carrying out vacation to enjoy some of the missing “best bits” in her life via this all-inclusive trip planned by one of her friends with a draw from a hat and kept secret until it is her turn. In fact, this whole twenty-fifth birthday experience was declared by Harper herself two years ago while at a New Year’s Eve party surrounded by her equally lonely friends.

The whole Winston family has returned to the castle fold in great anticipation of the “surprise news” that George Winston has planned for them. Except that they were all there and then a lovely stranger happens to make a timely appearance, but still no sign of George or an explanation. Of course, Harper simply becomes swept up and overtaken by all the excited family members, including Will, who is quite attracted to his cousin’s fiancé, but he questions her intentions and decides to get answers to protect his family from getting hurt.

What begins as a definite wrong adventure turns into the best and greatest thing that could have happened to Harper. They find out they have a lot in common and finally realize that Harper was meant to be in their lives. This was an entertaining & steamy story. Now I am looking forward to reading the earlier stories Books #1-5 as well!

These novellas have been so much fun to read, and I'm sorry to see them come to an end. Cathryn Fox always delivers steamy and sexy and that is no different with this final novella in the Dossier series. Will had the sexiest, filthiest mouth and I loved it. I couldn't get enough of him and I loved that Harper accidentally found her happily ever after. I thought the ending was a little bit rushed, but I did love the reunion of all the girls and their families at the end. I look forward to anything that Cathryn puts out and I can't wait to see what she has in store for her readers next!

Quick read with lots of sexy action. Includes fun surprises and laugh out loud scenes. Rambunctious relatives who seem to be always underfoot set this love story on its improper path to happily ever after.

I’ve read a lot of this authors books, a lot of which are shorter stories, which I’m not a huge fan of, but I will say I really liked this book. Character development is huge for me to keep my interest, not always easy with the shorter books, but Cathryn Fox mastered this book to be one that kept my interest all the way through the book. Harper is the last of the girlfriends to get her Dossier trip, which takes her to a castle in England, but she ends up at the wrong castle with an amazing family and lots of confusion on why they are welcoming her in when a family environment is the last thing she’s expecting out of her sex trip. Will is a cousin of the family that has welcomed Harper into their folds. He screams hot, steamy sex, it jumps right off the page at you, and the chemistry between the two is off the charts. Loved how this warm family falls in love with Harper, but they are unaware on why she is truly there, and once she has had a taste of what it truly feels like to have a loving family, the last thing she wants to do is tell them. Great storyline, loved all of the characters, especially Grandpa Charles and Claire, and George’s surprise at the end was kinda funny. Great book if you need a quick hot and steamy read, I really enjoyed it.

Yikes. This is hard for me, as I really don't like giving bad reviews. I've really enjoyed this entire series, and I LOVED book 2 a ton. But, this one was a total letdown for me. It's the final book in the series, and we finally get to meet Harper, who set up this whole 25th birthday dossier plan, and I was so looking forward to her story.

Harper Clark is a loner. She grew up with just her mom, and her mom's revolving door of men, who never stuck around long. So, she learned to only rely on herself. It's served her well for the most part, especially in her career as a lawyer. When she made this deal with her friends, for them to plan special trips for each other for their 25th, she had no idea what would be in store for her, besides epic sex, of course. That was the point of the agreement to begin with.

Will Thomas is an American living in NYC, but his parents are British ex-pats, and the rest of his extended family all still live in England. He's in town to visit, and hear a big announcement from his cousin, George. He had no idea to expect Harper to fall into his life.

This was set up to be a "While You Were Sleeping" type of plot, but it just didn't work for me. She knew from the first minute she was in the wrong place, and she just kept trying to convince herself she was wrong, and maybe she was in the right place? (The address was wrong! You're at the wrong house!) So, needless to say, I was frustrated already by the end of chapter one. I get that she felt happy being around this giant family, which she had never had. But still, come on. I kept wanting to scream "YOU'RE A GROWN WOMAN. USE YOUR WORDS!" She kept just going with it, and it made me not like her very much. Then, Will didn't make the situation any better, unfortunately. His way of dealing with things was not cool either, even if he changed his mind somewhat along the way.

While I could feel Harper and Will's physical chemistry, I just didn't find their emotional connection very believable. Granted, this was a very short novella, but that doesn't usually keep me from enjoying a story. I've read plenty of short novellas, and not felt this way before. As things kept getting deeper and deeper, I just found Harper more, and more TSTL. It really bothered me that she wasn't being honest, and how it all came out was a bit predictable too.

Again, I'm trying not to be too harsh, but this story just didn't really work for me on any level. And honestly, I'm really sad about it. I've really enjoyed the time I've spent reading this series, and for it to end this way for me is very disappointing. This won't keep me from reading this author in the future, as I've loved many of her books over the years. There are a lot of great reviews for this one, so maybe it was just me. I truly hope others can appreciate and enjoy this story in a way I just couldn't.

When you need a quick light hearted read Fox is a great go to author. If you like the instalove or instalust romance this is perfect. Some friends got together for NYE and agreed to draw a name, that person gets an epic sexy adventure for their 25th birthday planned by that friend. Ultimately a romance is the end result, sometimes marriage. For Harper it was a simple misunderstanding that lead to the perfect match. Each novella has a different couple, sexy times and an HEA. I received an early copy through Netgalley but wrote my review voluntarily.
