The Naughty List by Jade West
This is the first book in the Naughtier and Naughtier series.
Ella, a desperate, newly single goth girl with a mountain of debt, would do anything to see her parents this Christmas… the problem is, her parents live on the other side of the world.
So, when she’s granted access to The Naughty List – a marketplace for dirty proposals from rich strangers – she opts to take everything and anything she can get.
She thinks she’s a good player, getting five-star reviews like a good girl and climbing the ranks – until she stumbles onto The Naughty List’s most daring group of all…
The Hardcorers.
Players who will fulfil any proposal clients ask them to, just so long as the price is right.
Can Ella be one? Can she really climb The Naughty List right the way to the top of the tree?
The idea gets even more thrilling when she meets Weston… the hottest Hardcorer of them all.
As it turns out, maybe it’s not just money that Ella’s truly desperate for this Christmas…
Jade West is a favourite of mine when I want a quick easy, smutty read, and this fit the bill perfectly.
The characters were brilliant and the plot was great. As always, the spice was top notch.
Ella was great. I loved seeing her character grow in confidence. Eb was great as well, a true friend. Even with the amount of spice, there was still a great good plot. Ella was successful in her mission, but then the Santa client added more questions. I’m looking forward to seeing where this leads in the next book. I’m also looking forward to seeing where things will head with Josh.
The list of kinks in this book is massive. Ella wanted to be a Hardcorer, and she definitely was. This isn’t a book for the innocent. It’s damn right sinful at times and I’m all for it.
Overall, it was an enjoyable, easy, sexy read with a good plot. I would definitely recommend it.
My rating: 5/5*
