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*

Sugar Daddies by Jade West

This is a standalone book.

A sugar daddy website doesn’t seem a sound basis for an A1 life plan, but I’m a small town girl with big dreams, and there’s this one advert, this one crazy advert I can’t stop thinking about…

Two hot guys seeking their Little Miss Right.
Someone who can entertain them, amuse them, fit in with their corporate schedule.
And sex. They want sex.
Lots of sex.
Bonus, right? One major dose of epic win.

Of course, guys like Carl and Rick have their conditions. One being that they come together, or not at all.
Hell, I can live with that.

And there are no skeletons in their designer closet, none that I can find.
Just two hot sugar daddies, with particular tastes, nothing to worry about.

Until Carl and Rick spill the big one, the one that sends the girls running. A whole string of them before me, running to the hills without so much as a backward glance.

Maybe I should run, too. Thanks but no thanks, see you around, guys, nice knowing you.
But I’m already in way too deep for that.

I really enjoyed this book. It had the usual Jade West vibes, but the character depth was far deeper than usual which took me by surprise. It made me love it more.

Katie was a great character. I loved how she was very independent and strong-willed. Carl and Rick were also brilliant characters. Each one of them had so much depth and development.

I loved how they met and it was great to watch their feelings grow towards each other. Rick and Carl were already in a stable relationship but they wanted more.

The scenes between them were brilliant and hot. MM scenes usually aren’t my thing, but they worked well here. I loved the connection between them and Katie slipped right in like she belonged. Everyone loved everyone.

The plot with her family was a good addition, especially with Carl and Rick. It was nice to see everything work out in the end, even after what happened. It was definitely a happy ending.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. The characters were brilliant and I enjoyed the story.

My rating: 5/5*

Give Me More (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate

This is the fourth book in the Salacious Players’ Club series which can be read as a standalone.

I’m a scoundrel

Playboy. Man whore.

Basically, I get around, and I’m not afraid to admit it.

So when my best friend opens up Salacious Players’ Club and asks me to head the construction, how could I say no?

Now we’re on a cross-country road trip touring other kink clubs, and I couldn’t be happier.

Life is good.

Then Hunter suddenly asks me to sleep with his wife…while he watches.

I’ll do anything for my best friend, but this is the one request I should say no to.

Isabel is the woman of my dreams, but she’s his.

And the exact reason I should say no is the one reason I say yes.

Because it’s not only Isabel I want.

These are the two most important people in my life, and if we go down this path, how will I ever be able to walk away?

I’m not sure my best friend understands just how much I’m willing to do for him—and why.

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are fantastic and the story and development was great.

Hunter, Drake and Isabel are all fantastic characters. I love the friendship between them all and watching it develop.

Hunter and Isabel have been happily married and together for ten years while Drake has always be around. He’s been a part of the relationship since the beginning really as their best friend.

Hunter suddenly realises that he wants to watch Drake have sex with his wife, and you can understand the hesitancy that Drake and Isabel have. They are both attracted to each other though. I loved the spark between them.

I loved seeing Drake realise that he loves her and then seeing him want Hunter too. Really, he has always loved Isabel and his best friend. I absolutely loved seeing Hunter slowly getting involved. The internal battle he has over his sexuality was brilliant to read. He needed time to come out and accept it.

The love between the three of them was brilliant to read, and the spice. Christ, it was on fire. I’ve never been the biggest fan of MM scenes, but these ones were done well. The connection between them is what made them great, and then with Isabel as well. I loved it.

I think the three of them went through a journey of discovery, finding their true self. It takes a while for them to realise that the three of them belong together and that really, Drake has always been a part of them. I loved the poly relationship they end up in.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book. The characters were fantastic with great character developments. I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*
