This story started out great, with an exciting rescue of the heroine, Chaya Dane, a government agent, from terrorists in Iraq, by the hero Natches Mackey, a marine sniper. The story then shifts to five years later, and we learn what the H/H have been up to in those five years, and how they forged a deep connection all those years ago and never got over each other. Chaya now works as an agent for Homeland Security, and she's come to Natches's hometown of Somerset, Kentucky to tie up some loose en...more

Why are we women so fascinated with bad boys? Is it because they’re uber-Alpha, uncontrollable, and so sexy they make our back teeth ache? Ok, maybe that’s just me…but, OH my goodness. Lora Leigh fans will be so delighted to have her naughty boys back in “Nauti Dreams”, book three in her ‘Nauti’ trilogy. She doesn’t disappoint as she turns up the heat with a hero and heroine tormented by painful pasts and haunted by a shared tragedy.

Wow! This is a really good erotica novel and my fav of the series so far. First, let me warn you about two things. The novel begins with the heroine being physically and sexually tortured by terrorists after she is captured in Iraq. As you know, torture is not my thing, especially sexual torture (shivers!). But I’ve read enough novels from Leigh’s erotica and PNR series to know she has a tendency to throw a dash of meanness into many of her novels. Torture is a fav device of hers, so I wasn’t to...more

WOW!!! Of all the Nauti Biys Trilogy this is my favorite!!! Natches has been thru hell and back a couple of times first with his father and then in Iraq as a Marine sniper. In Iraq is where he meets Chaya a operative with the Department of Homeland Security. If I go into too much I will be giving away the whole story but it is worth the read. I just love happy endings

I almost passed over this book because of the silly title, but I'm glad I didn't let that deter me. "Nauti Dreams" is a double whammy of sexual and criminal suspense, with two very compelling lead characters. Chaya Dane and Natches MacKay have one dark history and enough baggage between them to impede any relationship. But they overcome that as they confront a terrorist presence in a small Kentucky town that takes them right back to the beginning, when Chaya was a special agent working in Iraq a...more

This was Lora Leigh at her best. I loved this series and this is either a 2nd or 3rd reread for me. After meeting Natches in Nauti Boy and Nauti Nights and Chaya in Nauti Nights you really had no idea where there story would go. I absolutely loved the first chapter of this book. It was not what I was expecting. The shear heartbreak these two shared was soo emotional. This was one of her best series that just flowed from one book to the next and just kept getting better and better. (on a side not...more

Okay for fear of being tarred and feathered I have to be honest and say I didn't like this book as well as the previous two. This is very unlike me. As ya'll know, like most of my friends here, I am a huge fan of Lora's, but well I really had a hard time getting into this book.
I carried it with me to read while I had breaks at work. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to either A: throw the book across the room or B: do paperwork (I HATE PAPERWORK) instead of continue to read it.

Well no menage a trois in this Lora Leigh book. Just two tortured souls who finally find their way to each other. Lots of suspense and danger and of course hot loving.

We finally get to the story of the mercurial Natches Mackay. He was a military sniper for years, mainly working alone, in a profession that brought him home a changed man. He never even told his cousins what occured over seas but in this book we find out. Chaya Dane was also on a mission over there and was lucky that Natches was in the area when she was abducted and being tortured, as he rescued her and helped her overcome some of the trauma. Only to then be hit with so many more tragic events t...more
So intense the words set the pages on fire!
There are only a few people Natches Mackay considers family and "Daddy" ain't one of them, but that's not keeping his sperm donor from making his life miserable in ways that are worse than anything in the past. Now Natches is being drawn into an intrigue that involves not only his family, but the woman he shares some rather brutal history with- the one woman who means more to him than his own life. Now he just has to make her understand that that is whe...more

The Nauti Boys were thick as thieves, it was said. Their loyalty was to each other and to family alone.
The very first thing that inexplicitly drew me to the Nauti series was that mystifying bond between those MacKay men that said: “I’ll have your back at all times.” Rowdy, Dawg and Natches shared a youth together, shared their first time and every woman after that. At first I was given an easy mix of sultry sex, alluring romance and a suspenseful note in Nauti Boy but with book two, Nauti...more

The issue I have with the title is that "Nauti Dreams" is Natches houseboat. Other than that, it didn't apply. I know this is a series (I haven't read any other books in it), but I did think the title was lame.
Onto the book...
The Prologue which took place in Iraq was fantastic. I wished the book had continued with this. I wanted to know all the details about how that played out. I re-read that part a few times -- excellently written.

The background premise of the story is quite laughable, such a typically cheesy Hollywood b-movie plot : home-grown renegades hoping to launch a revolution in America with the help of Arab terrorists. I didn't mind the psycho killers on the loose in the previous two L.L. books. This particular subplot is too incredulous to forgive.
What put me off more than anything was the white-trash characterisations; I wasn't sure if they were intentional (satirical) or not. Even Chaya knows the guys are "thi...more

Natches Mackay a mi parecer el mas peligroso y ardiente en la Familia Mackay que tan solo hace unos 5 años conoció a una mujer y callo rendidamente a sus pies en tan solo unas pocas horar pero tuvo que esperar un tiempo para poder reclamarla! "Chaya Greta Dane " una mujer capas de hacerle frente y no se asusta.. realmente el libro es bueno! tarde 4 días en leerlo y es porque casi no tenia tiempo .. por las tareas del cole! pero definitivamente un libro que me izo reír y llorar en algunas escenas...more

#3 Nauti Trilogy - now a series, with #4 Nauti Intentions due out in April 2009 (woot!)
Natches and Chaya's story is more intense with suspense than the first two, as LL expands her missle plot investigation story line. The romance between the two is intense, heartwrenching, romantic and ... big surprise -- sexy *g*. But isn't Lora Leigh always a sexy author!

I love so much of Lora Leigh, but I hated the first book in this series, and was lukewarm about the second. This book was the last chance for the lovable rednecks of Somerset County. Turns out that the third time is the charm, no question. This book has a strong, smart, independent female lead who knows who she is. She does not allow some big scary man to run roughshod over her. And both these characters are damaged, for real reasons, and they care about healing one another and want to learn how...more
Constant suspense!!! I must say this author has done a superb job tying all of the books together. I really feel like I am in a small county in KY and I know all of these people!
This particular book had more emotionally attached than the others.
Natches was our real "wild as the wind" bad boy. But we find the man that is beneath it all.
Nauti Dreams is written in a slightly different manner than the rest because the story line starts 5 years prior and occasionally goes into flashbacks. We alread...more
MUCH better than the previous 2 books, especially the last book. I guess it really was just the hero that irritated me so much in Nauti Nights. Natches was more down to earth but still had that aura of alpha male and dangerous male. But he pulled it off so much better. He didn't need to blackmail his woman into being with me, nor did he shout out "mine" every 5 seconds during sex scenes. He instead had a cold demeanor that was warmed up only by Chaya. I also really liked Chaya, and I loved how s...more
Several years ago Natches MacKay rescued an undercover agent from the hands of the enemy. The attraction between them was huge even though Chaya Dane was seriously wounded. But Chaya disappears without a trace before Natches could convince her to give him a chance. Now Chaya shows up in his town during an investigation and all the attraction he was feeling back then are flowing back to life. Natches is determined to find out why she’s back in his life and figure out a way to keep her in once and...more
Book three of the Nauti series is the story of Natches and Chaya. There is trouble again in Somerset, Kentucky and Chaya is the agent in charge of getting to the bottom of it. Natches and the Nauti boys helped homeland security in the past and don't want to be out of the loop this time.
Natches and Chaya have a past that started in Iraq years before. The past is about to meet in the present.
This is about two tortured souls. Can they put the past behind them and have a future together?

This third book in the series was definitely my favorite so far. The romance between Chaya and Natches is powerful, the love scenes are blistering, even by Lora Leigh's (high) standards. Both the hero and heroine have tortured pasts which complicate their relationship. The suspense-end of the plot fuels the conflict nicely without overwhelming it. This was by far the most satisfactory ending of the series (so far), maybe the most of any (of the many) of Lora Leigh's books I've read (yes, it's th...more
A part of me was disappointed with this book. Perhaps my expectations were just too high for it, because after getting my first taste of Lora Leigh's writing from her book Wicked Pleasure, which I ranked with 5 stars, I couldn't wait to read more from her, but in the end I didn't find Nauti Dreams as good.
I liked the location of the book being from Kentucky and living not too far from Somerset myself. It was fun to read about something so close to home...well except for the fact it was about ter...more

It wasn't BAD, per se, but it wasn't exactly can't-put-down material. The only reason I picked it up was because it was the third installment in the Nauti Boys series, and I wanted to finish them out.
I liked Natches' character, but more often than not I found his mate Chay to be a grind in my gears. Her internal conflict was understandable, since she lost a child, but her constant battle between being a hard-ass and victimizing herself was just annoying.

A good read. I am really enjoying the Nauti series. I definitely enjoy the writings of Lora Leigh. I have been jumping around with the Nauti, Elite Ops, and the Breed series. My imagination is running wild and I have several suggestions if she is ever interested in hearing from the fans about incorporating more diversity. I am from the South and I enjoy reading about heroes and heroines from the South and the East coast areas;however, it would be nice to have more ethnic characters (e.g. African...more
This is my favorite in the series so far because the sex and the hero are smoking. However, this series just does not excite me too much. The men are sort of jerks and although they have a soft spot and love for the woman they want, they sort of stay jerks! It doesn't make them lovable enough emotionally. The women in this series aren't sassy enough for my personal preference. They are tough, and Chaya is no different in this series. But they aren't fun-sassy-tough they are hardened tough. Betwe...more
I was really looking forward to reading Natches, but after reading some really good books lately this just didnt cut it for me.
I found myself skimming 98% of what was on the page and only reading the dialogue (in comparison to all the descriptive text there wasn't a huge deal of dialogue).
By the middle of the book I was over all the descriptive garbage. I don't read a book to get home decorative tips, so it really bores the crap out of me to read paragraph upon paragraph about what colour some...more

Ok. First of all Natches is on my "Alphas I love list", whose company includes: Tate, Luke, and Tack. So for Natches to make it on an all KA list is quite an accomplishment. I knew from the prologues that I was going to love him. I knew from the same prologues that I was going to love Chaya. This book did not disappoint me in one single way- even the epilogue was good. I was misty eyed reading it.

Wow Natches and Chaya's book was great! So much better than the previous book. I was so hooked on Natches from the other book and was really looking forward to reading it. I wasn't disappointed at all. This book was so full of emotions. I mean the beginning blew me away and I was completely shocked at what was going on. Chaya in the other book I didn't really like her. But reading her story and what happened to her , I changed my mind.Wow. Those two were so wonderful together and they were what...more
Well, despite me not liking Natches very much in the first story I really loved him in his own book. He turned out to be a much better character than what was first written in Nauti Boy. His love and devotion to Chaya was very sweet. His attitude in the first two books was explained (although it felt like a bit of a stretch since I felt his attitude was really crappy in the first book). However, there was so much more to his character and person and I grew to like him.

“She was still and silent against his chest, though he knew that indomitable will of hers was still firmly in place. She was the strongest person he had ever known in his life, and he wanted nothing more than to allow her to be weak.
And that was the redneck in him, he knew it was. The man who wanted to protect his woman against any and all threats. To be a partner until danger rolled around. But he had chosen a woman who refused to hide from danger.”
