We're going to spend the holidays getting me on Santa's Naughty List!I've always been on the 'Nice' list. Never been one to stray too far from the beaten path, and managed to make it to senior year without doing well... much of anything. Until I ended up stranded in Chicago during the worst snowstorm of the century, away from my family, and days before Christmas.And then I meet them.Two of the most insanely gorgeous guys I'd ever laid eyes on.Charismatic. Sexy. Daring.I've wanted to escape my life for Christmas for so long...and they offer me a chance I just can't pass up.What else is a girl going to do while stranded in a strange city on her own?They insist that they can get me into Santa's Naughty list in less than three days.So I accept the challenge.But that's if I can keep my heart... I mean head, in the game. Because losing my heart was never part of the rules...
I'm a wife, mother, and author! Writing has always been a passion for me, and publishing my first series is a dream come true. I drink too much caffeine, never sleep, and my imagination is always churning out ideas. Eva and her men have been in my head for awhile, and I'm so glad to finally take you with me on this journey!
This was ok for me, obviously it was super short and the instalust began at first sight. The characters spot each other in the airport and a blizzard causes delays giving them the perfect opportunity to get to know one another. It was definitely outrageous, I mean of course one of the guys had a wealthy father who just happens to have a hotel room in Chicago on standby where they are stranded. They also get it on in a Santa’s workshop house at the mall which while hot was a bit creepy lol I mean think of the children 😂 Anywho it was OK for me. Hot, sweet, a smidge creepy and a whole lotta coincidences thrown in!!!
I liked that Max and Danny were able to bring Belle out of her shell and be confident.
What I absolutely Hated was the lack of dual POV.
I am a stickler for multi POV. I want to know everyone thoughts and opinions. I’m just too nosy not to.
The main thing that kept me from putting the book down once I realized we’d only be getting Belle’s side of things was that the men weren’t playing hard to get. If this was an enemies to lovers type of thing I’d have been way out. I Need the balance of the ‘enemy’s’ war inside their head to get through a book like that otherwise I just get sad and resentful for all the shit they throw at the FMC.
This was tolerable. And the epilogue from Max’s POV helped a tiny bit.
Other than that I thought this book was pretty good. The teasing and the tension and the little playfulness was entertaining. I really enjoyed all the little dates and games they played together.
Then the sex. It was definitely steamy. But let me just get on my soap box for a minute and tell you about our lord and savior, lubrication.
There was DP in this book. In this case, one vaginally, one anally. And the only ‘prep’ we got from these guys was a little dampness from her natural lubrication and a little teasing the rim. Um. Sorry? Nope. Not cool man. That was her first time doing any butt stuff, plus she’s already got one inside her. How hard is it to try a tiny bit harder to ‘prep’ her so she’s not in pain?
This is one of my pet peeves, so you’ll have to excuse my ranting. But just the thought of that happening in real life makes me cringe in pain. It just immediately takes me out of the moment while reading.
I have to wonder if authors who write things like this have ever actually experienced any anal play or even looked into it. If they have my next conclusion would just be that they’re lazy when writing these types of sexual acts. It takes one sentence to make this type of scene even plausible.
“I heard the sound of clicking and cool wetness hit me, making me flinch, before fingers gently messaged the thick liquid around and inside, stretching me slowly….”
Or something along those lines. Even something simpler. Anything. Seriously. Anything.
*sigh* But I digress.
Even with those two things making me a bit crazy I still had a good time.
I’m glad I picked it up. I just wish it was multi POV and that more authors took the time to write things more safely.
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
I have to say that I had way to much fun reading this fantastic steamy holiday romance by not one but two authors that I totally love. Belle is traveling home for Christmas which she is dreading when she meets not one but two hot guys on her flight. They strike up a conversation after being stranded by the weather only to end up agreeing for her to stay with them due a lack of available lodging in the area. Stranded for a few days what follows in their attempts to get Belle on Santa's Naughty List as she has always been a good girl. What follows is lots of fun and several steamy scenes that will leave you needing a fan. A fantastically fun holiday menage romance. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
This is a sexy and fun read. Belle has always been a girl who does everything by the book, never takes any chances. Then she gets stranded in the airport and meets Max and Danny and her life takes a new and exciting twist. I love when these two authors get together to write a book, the characters are amazing, the stories are great and the puns? Priceless. If you want a fun and sexy read, this is just what your looking for.
Well this was good to a point. I liked the way that they got to know each other first it wasn't straight up bang in a relationship. There were funny parts in the story. I didn't understand the brother part that just seemed to come out of no where.
What a great naughty Christmas story, It was a quick and entertaining read. Belle has always done the right thing so she is always on Santa's good list. After being stranded at the airport due to storms Belle meets Max & Danny who took a liking to her straight away and want to get her on Santa's naughty list.
Max & Danny bring Belle out of her she'll and she ends up having so much fun and doing things she wouldn't usually do. It has some very steamy scenes and comes with a HEA. If you want a fun, sexy holiday read them this is for you.
Being naughty never felt so nice! This was such an entertaining read. It is the kind of book that you can grab some hot chocolate and snuggle in a warm blanket for a sexy fun read. Belle has always been a girl who does everything by the book, never takes any chances. Then she gets stranded in the airport and meets Max and Danny and her life takes a new and exciting twist. The characters are awesome, the Christmas puns are hilarious, and it has some very steamy scenes that are very panty melting. I love how Max and Danny get Belle to get out of her shell and have fun.
Sometimes the good girls need a push to the bad side. This book is completely amazing. It's very detailed, the characters are awesome, Christmas puns are hilarious, and it has some very steamy scenes that are so panty melting. I love how Max and Danny get Belle to get out of her shell and have fun. I highly recommend this book to everyone because everyone needs to be on the naughty list sometimes.
What a fun sweet story! I absolutely adored it. Belle is the shy girl, never daring to step out of her comfort zone. When she is suddenly stuck in Chicago from a snow storm her life begins to change. I love the guys. They are so full of life and bring it to Belle. There was some seriously steamy scenes, that left me needing a fan. Of course, there's family drama. What holiday would be complete with out it. You won't regret taking a chance on this story.
Belle has one more semester left at school. She's flying home for Christmas and sees two handsome men at the airport taking the same flights. But storm of the century is happening and they're stuck in Chicago. So they invite her to share their suite with them. This is the start of a good girl going even better. I read this through the KU program. Excellent book, fun read and has a storyline instead of sex scene after sex scene.
OMFG I'm definitely interested in reading more books by both C.R. Jane and Mila Young ! This was so good I'm still shaking WoW hot 🔥 . This is the way to spend a few days stuck in a big city during a snow storm 😉. Any woman would love to find two sexy men to ride out a storm with lol yeah right ? Ok now I need an update on Max , Danny and Belle's life after graduation please .
If you're looking for a good stand alone holiday book, this is the one you MUST read! It was fantastic! I loved all of the Christmas pubs and the shots they took at the airport bar have me fascinated. I totally want to try some. lol This book was a great mix of humor and hot guys. Let's be honest, who doesn't like a hot guy? Lol Seriously though you have to read this! What are you waiting for?
Damn I loved this book. The perfect amount of Christmas, sexy times and sweet story combined to make what has to be one I reread every year at Christmas time! Belle, Danny and Max are all so different but helping Belle get on Santa's naughty list after meeting in an airport bar, makes them all want the same thing.
Just what I needed to find my way back to my Kindle. I've been struggling to find something to get my groove back and here it is! Not too much and not too little. The perfect mix of everything. I love Max and Danny. The fact that these college students just needed a break from their realities and they had the perfect opportunity for it.
Oh this book was so steamy. The story was awesome, couldn't get enough of Danny's punns! I did cry at the end when we find out that Belle's Dad makes it to graduation and he his getting his life back together and being happy for Belle. Such a good book, it would be nice if a second book was made!! Just saying!😁
This is the kind of Insta-love I like in a book. Did they know each other only a few days before deciding they loved each other? Yeah, but it FELT like longer because of how much time they spent together. It felt like they got to know each other and see how compatible they were.
And I kind of like that she had time to connect with them separately as well as together. I like that she slept with them individually before doing it as a group. It just felt way more organic given the short timeframe.
Were there things I didn’t like? Yeah. How did her stepbrother even FIND her? Why bother going home for Christmas if you hated it so much? Why not block your stepbrother’s number? What did Max’s dad actually DO for living? Or Danny’s for that matter? Because I’M SORRY BUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW COSTLY A FIRST EDITION OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL WOULD COST?!?!?! Are you telling me they walked into a random rare bookstore in Chicago and dropped 20k-60k on a book for a girl they just met?!?! WHAT KIND OF COLLEGE STUDENT HAS THAT MONEY??????
Despite this, still 4⭐️ cuz I liked it and it made me happy.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Christmas corniness: 🎄🎄🎄🎄/5 (takes place over Christmas, they get snowed in, and Danny makes Christmas puns throughout the book.) Best line: "Evidently bad karaoke makes Max want to ‘rock around your Christmas tree.’" Worst line: "That made you want to eat her milk and cookies. Didn't it?”
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice: 🌶🌶🌶.5 This book was a fun Christmas read, and I absolutely loved it. It's a short novella if you're looking for a short, sweet, funny romance between the 3 main characters.
Belle was flying home from college to spend Christmas with her dad and stepmother, and stepbrother. Belle got a glimpse of 2 hot guys that were on the same flight heading for Chicago. This is where the fun begins when Belle lands in Chicago to get ready to jump on another flight to NYC. The airport ended up delaying flights out for a few hours, to then going to the sports bar and grabbing a drink and some food. Belle ended up having to sit at the table with the 2 hot guys from the plane as there weren't any spare tables for her to sit at. They start talking and waiting for their flights out to be told all flights have been cancelled until tomorrow, she starts checking hotels to stay at and came up empty so Danny and Max offered her to come back with them to their hotel that Max's dads company pays for.
This is where I'm going to stop with my review as I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who wants to read it. But I can say it was a lovely short book, which was a great Christmas cozy funny read with Belle, Danny, and Max, and damn the spicy parts were good.
(I reviewed this on Amazon after I read it and this is what I said) Feels like AI generated.... Well, I just got done reading this book. Honestly, I would have stopped reading a few times because of how it is written, but it was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away from. It honestly feels as if I was on Ao3 right now, reading a poorly written Twilight fanfic written by a 13-year-old. I really hate to say it and be so critical of this book, but seriously, it was only enjoyable because of how awful the poor writing was. I really hope, for the writer's sake, they just decided to use AI and went, "What the hell, that sounds pretty ok?" Maybe a first draft? I just cannot believe that this is the finished product and that everyone in their reviews liked it so much! I'm sorry, but what romance fiction are they reading? Hell, there are way better fanfics out there than this! I mean, it is bad when I'm taken out of the story to think about how I'd edit a sentence.
I believe Max is Edward, and Danny is Jacob. This HAD to have been a Twilight fanfic before it turned into something being published on amazon! *sorry* it was just NOT my thing. And not "panty-melting" at all.
✈️ 🎒 ❄️ 🌟 NOVELLA REVIEW 🌟 The Naughty List by C. R. Jane & Mila Young 🎶 Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande
This is a fun quick spicy Christmas time novella. While on her way home from college, Belle finds herself stranded in Chicago with not one, but two handsome men. Providing her safety, Max and Danny set out for one thing; get Belle off the nice list and onto the naughty list.
During the book we get a series of dares that increase on levels of “badness”. Starting small with snowballs and graduating to touching. There is never anything non-con but Danny and Max certainly aren’t innocent in their pushes.
Feelings build between the three and when their time comes to an end, Belle up and leaves without saying goodbye. Hopeful to not push anything and cause more heartbreak in the end. Thankfully, Danny and Max wouldn’t let that slide, and track Belle down to make things right.
This is a sweet read but spicy too! Definitely would recommend! There are some Christmas activities for sure as Belle, Max and Danny try to make the best of their situation.
A goody two shoes college senior, Belle encounters two hot guys in the airport on the way home for Christmas. They reach Chicago and due to a horrific snowstorm, they're all stranded there for days.

As a good girl, it's hard at first, but then she embraces the idea and goes for it. When the storm clears, she sneaks away, heading home to see her dad, with no way to contact the two men.
After a fight with her dad and step monster, she leaves early, going back to campus. Does she reunite with her men? Is she destined to be alone again?
Find out all the naughty answers. Read this sweet and naughty tale, it will make you want to be one of Santa's bad girls.
The Naughty List by C.R. Jane & Mila Young Isabelle, Max & Danny
My Rating: 4⭐️ Christmas Romance Novella - (148 Pages) MFM - (No MM) Fast Paced Stranded in Chicago FMC POV Only (Except Epilogue) Naughty Time Inside Santa's Workshop Ribbon Play
REVIEW: I've been ruined by dark romance and by C.R. Jane's dark books. This book is the opposite. It was cute, sweet, light and funny. There is alot of flirting, Christmas puns, jokes and cute banter. But it was too sweet, slow and too light for my liking. It was written in 2019. And I'm assuming back then, things weren't as kinky and as dark as they are today or people just didn't read such things. But for being written years ago, it was very well written. It was spicy when it got there and scenes were written very well. I enjoyed the plot. I enjoyed the two MMC's. The ending was good. Overall, I think this is a wonderful book to read if you're looking for something on the lighter side.
This is the kind of story you are like 'man I wish this would happen to me' I really enjoyed this story. I usually do not like short stories. They aren't as fulfilling as full stories are, but this short story did not disappoint. Short stories are usually way to fast pace - to the point of being stupid cheesy and unbelievable. But this was not like that at all. The story flowed really well and felt natural, like this could definitely happen. For a short novella type story, the writing and story line was really good. This wasn't super fast pace like you'd expect. The MC just wanted to get put on Santa's naughty list for once in her life and with the help of 2 perfectly fine and willing strangers, she succeeds! And oooooooooh - the spice in this was good. I really enjoyed the spicy scenes this story offered. He wrapped her up like a present!!! <3
I must admit that reading this amazing, sultry holiday romance by not one, but two of my favorite authors was way too much fun. Belle is dreading her Christmas vacation home because of her Stepmother and Stepbrother. She spots not one, but two attractive guys on her flight ( a lot of winking by one of the cutie). After becoming stranded because of the weather, they start talking and ultimately decide that she can remain with them because there isn't any other accommodation in the entire city.
After being stranded for several days, they try to ada Belle to Santa's Naughty List despite the fact that she has always been a good girl.
I love how Max and Danny get Belle to get out of her shell and have fun. I highly recommend this book to everyone because everyone needs to be on the naughty list sometimes.
Short little insta love Christmas story about a goody two shoes that gets tag teamed by two hot strangers that were on the same plane she was on.
That's basically it. There were a few things that bothered me. First, if the storms are so bad that flights are cancelled for 3 days, then restaurants and malls are probably not going to be open and you aren't going to spend all day walking around downtown. You'll be in your hotel ordering room service 3x a day. The other thing, yeah I get she's a good girl. But when you're getting DP you don't say "oh fudge". Come on.
I know it was a short story, and to that point, I think the conflicts with the step mom and step brother were handled well enough. The sex scenes were great. There just wasn't enough there for me to really get into it. And she was just so immature.
Winter storm and cancel fights lead to new friendships and breaking the rules to get Belle on the naughty list. So much fun, let go and enjoy.
Maxwell and Danny are sexy, sweet, and both attracted to Belle. They want to make her smile and help her have fun for once in her life.
I love how creative and mischievous the guys are. Just what Belle needed in her life. They bring her out of her shell. Each guy gives her a taste of their naughty side. She joins the fun and has them begging for more. Belle learns to stand up for herself and to enjoy her life.
The Naughty List is well written, filled with strong characters, humor, wonderful romance that will have you glued to your seat as you read this fantastic Christmas story. Let's all join the naughty list and have a wonderful holiday.
Belle has always been on the "Nice List". She's a good girl through and through. But when she's stranded in Chicago during a freak snowstorm and finds herself with two unbelievably gorgeous men daring her to see if she can get herself on the"Naughty List", it's an opportunity she just can't refuse.
Candy canes and white chocolate peppermint mocha. Snowballs and bad Christmas puns. Karaoke and stripteases. Santa's workshop, peppermint lotion, and red ribbons. If reading this doesn't make you want to get snowed in, I don't know what will. It's adorable and saucy and sexy. The characters are yummy, their antics even more so. It's proof that being a little naughty is so very nice.
