Jodi Tyler is not at all happy with her boss and boyfriend Mark. She's been hinting for weeks about how she wanted to spend her birthday evening - instead of celebrating she's sitting in a scorching hot van watching the estate that she's supposed to infiltrate. On closer introspection she's afraid that he's planning on dumping her without having to say anything. It wouldn't be the first time she was rejected in such a callous way.
Mark Rodriquez has treated his relationship with Jodi as a casual situation. They'd agreed that their relationship wouldn't be long term but breaking things off with her definitely isn't his intention. Mark has an ulterior motive behind his instance that Jodi infiltrate the estate today but once his plans come to light he realizes that he might have made a huge mistake. His feelings for Jodi are much stronger than he was willing to admit.
Jodi's not at all worried about infiltrating the estate and cracking the safe. She's very talented at what she does - and it's not like she's actually a criminal. The whole thing is a set up to test the estate's security - or at least that's what she's been lead to believe. Of course, Mark's complicated the whole thing a bit by introducing an adult toy into the equation. Everything goes according to plan and she breaks into the safe in less than two minutes - just like she bet Mark she could - and then she gets busted.
It seems Mark didn't forget her birthday after all. He arranged for his friend Sam to catch Jodi at a critical moment and she's flabbergasted that such a thing could happen. She makes the decision to level with her captor and give him the note that she was supposed to leave in the vault - only the note isn't what she believes it to be. It's the list of sexual fantasies that she'd written out for Mark and he's enlisted Sam's help to cross some of her fantasies off that list - and he'll definitely need help with number six, "I'd like to have a ménage with Mark and another man that we can trust."
Just when Jodi gets into the spirit of her birthday gift, Mark realizes that sharing HIS woman isn't something he really wants to do. That's when Sam steps up and changes the rules just a bit. Will Mark and Sam come out of this interlude on friendly terms and what about Mark and Jodi's romance? Will he still want her as his lover, or has that changed?
Leah Braemel's PRIVATE PROPERTY delves into all of one woman's naughty fantasies and promises to leave readers hot and sweaty. Mark and Jodi make a fantastic couple yet because they haven't shared their true feelings for each other there's a sense of insecurity which results in some very tense moments and an incredible sexual encounter. All of these characters will touch your heart in one way or another. Sam really captured my interest because he is so caring and insightful, yet there's something very lonely about him.

Jodi is not happy about spending her birthday on a stake out/break in for a future client. Her boyfriend Mark is the owner of the security agency they work for and he insists that she is the only one that can pull this job off. Little does she know that she will find more than she bargained for once she gets into the house?
Mark has been planning Jodi's birthday surprise for the past month. He has enlisted the help of Sam to give her the experience of a lifetime and to fulfill her fantasy list. When the time comes to put the plan in action, he is shocked by his own reaction to Sam pleasuring Jodi.
Jodi never expected to have her wildest fantasies played out before her eyes with two smoking hot guys. She wants to experience everything they are offering but at the same time she doesn't want to alienate Mark. She is excited about the opportunity before her but apprehensive at the same time.
She is in love with Mark but because of her bad history with guys she thinks Mark is getting ready to break up with her. He blew her off on her birthday and scheduled her to work, why else would he do this unless he was tired of her.
Sam is glad to join in on their fun but one look at Mark with Jodi and he knows he's a third wheel. He cares about his friend and is determined to make his friend admit what is in his heart, even if he hates him when he is done. Jodi is beautiful and responsive to his every touch and he just wants Mark to realize the treasure he has.
Mark isn't into long term relationships until Jodi. She is smart and beautiful and he doesn't want to share her, even if it's to fulfill her fantasies. He's angry at Sam because he has to sit and watch their play without participating. He is also extremely turned on watching Sam dominate her but he has an overwhelming urge to mark her as his.
This story was hot, sexy and a lot of fun. Mark was super sweet to arrange for Jodi's fantasies to be played out, even if he wasn't crazy about another man touching her. The dominate scene with Sam was powerful but I think the scene afterward with just the two of them was even more powerful.
The characters were kept to a minimum which worked for this story. There was also enough back story for the reader to understand what was going on, without over powering them with too much information. It was also fun learning a little about the security business.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to pick up the 2nd and 3rd book in this series. I want to learn more about Sam. I give Private Property 4 Flaming Hearts.
