Too weak to resist young Kelly Benton's attempts at seduction, Rowdy Mackay left home eight years ago. Duty as a U.S. Marine put a safe distance between temptation and the nubile Kentucky vixen. Now he's back home and ready to engage in the kind of erotic games that have earned him and his two cousins a Nauti-boy reputation in three counties. Once it was Kelly's dream too-to feel the heat of the boy she desired. But an attack from a stalker still on the prowl has left Kelly terrified of a man's touch. Now as fear and desire converge, Rowdy fights to save her from the deadly threats of a stranger, to rid her of her demons, and to satisfy a hunger more powerful than either can imagine. [close]

I didn’t really like this book. It has too much of a sleazy/”porny” undertone to it even though it tries to come across as something else.

The hero, Rowdy (a totally stupid nickname as were the names of his two cousins Dawg and Natches –sounds like slang for an STD)—is a bit of a creepy Neanderthal. He’s way overboard with his “alphaness” for my taste. He’s too possessive and borderline psycho staking a claim on Kelly as “his” and his cousins even say “he’s CLAIM...more I didn’t really like this book. It has too much of a sleazy/”porny” undertone to it even though it tries to come across as something else.

The hero, Rowdy (a totally stupid nickname as were the names of his two cousins Dawg and Natches –sounds like slang for an STD)—is a bit of a creepy Neanderthal. He’s way overboard with his “alphaness” for my taste. He’s too possessive and borderline psycho staking a claim on Kelly as “his” and his cousins even say “he’s CLAIMED her” --and mind you, so does hot and cold Kelly! As a reader you’re thinking “What the???? Is she a pet or something???” He’s also screaming out “MINE” when they’re going at it. I think you can accept that in a paranormal but I can’t really see someone sane repeating that time and again in the “throes of rapture”. He’s always referring to her or complimenting her as if she was a little girl. She’s so “pretty” (in an almost lascivious way), has “pretty nipples”, a “pretty slit”—just made my skin crawl. His permanent erection, regardless of the situation (hey look you’re scared out of your tree—oh baby I’m hard! --Yuck.) just adds to the seediness of the story.

The two often fly off the handle for next to nothing. One minute they’re happy-go-lucky and the next all hell broke loose and you’re wondering where that came from.

The story drags once you hit the halfway mark and I was counting the pages and virtually skimming the end. It’s very repetitious with how he won’t share her, how’s she’s scared of the stalker and how his cousins want to share her. This theme is there from early on and it’s as if the author didn’t know what else to say so it was used as filler to finish up the book.

Kelly’s attack was well-written. You really felt the horror she felt and at the beginning of the story you see how scared and introverted she’s become—so the story starts out well but it’s downhill after.

It’s very sexually explicit which you know coming in but I didn’t like how the couple came together sexually –a very “trailer trash” feel to it all with a mediocre writing style in my opinion.

I really liked this book... did I love it? No. Let me explain...

I liked the plot in this book a lot! It alone could be worth 5 stars. Kelly is a 24 year old girl who has waited her whole life for Rowdy. He is 6 years older and joined the military when Kelly was 16 to get away from her. You see, Rowdy already had feelings for her, and she was just way too young!

Rowdy is finally back for good from the military, and when he comes home waiting for Kelly to leap into his arms, he's shocked ...more

This is the first novel in the “Nauti Trilogy” by Lora Leigh. It is my fav so far, and going on my Keeper Shelf for sure (grin). Rowdy has been in love with Kelly, since she was a kid and his dad married her mom. However when Kelly turned 16 the temptation was too great for Rowdy, who was now in his early 20s, so he joined the Marines with his cousins, Dawg and Natches. When Rowdy came back he felt Kelly was still too young for his unusual sexual appetites, so he did another tour. By th...more

This was a pretty good book. It was a common theme for Leigh with the man can’t stay away from the girl so he goes into the military until she gets older. Then he comes back for her. When Rowdy comes back this time he finds out that Kelly has been attacked and is being stalked. With the help of his 2 cousins, Rowdy sets out to find out who is doing it. The plot was very well done. In fact, I found this to be a little more plot filled than most of LL’s books.

I would have given the b...more

So far very HOT! Very sensual and very different. About a man who gets out of the Marines to claim his step-sister after all these years. And finds out that she has been brutally attacked. Now he is on a mission to hunt down the person who attacked her and to help her through the fright.

***Okay this book is longer then one can image and Hotter then hell but I loved it. I loved how Rowdy had to work through issues as well as Kelly. This was my guilty pleasure read so I tend to take longe...more
