6/6 -Completed

1. Naughty: 12/2 (4*)
A quick, funny, sexy read, and is definitely naughty!
2. Nice : 12/2 (4*)
Danny (main male character) is the sweetest! I don't often see/read books that have male characters like this. They are usually bad boys turning good. Danny was refreshing and sexy too. This would have been 5* for me but the cliffhanger ending was terrible.
3. Naughty: 12/4 (3*)
The title alone tells me that it's naughty. This was a cute, fun read. Juliet's one night of skinny dipping turned into a story about..."be careful what you wish for."
4. Naughty: 12/11 (1*)
Domestic violence, adultery, lies, and a ridiculous soulmate (the universe is pulling us together) connection storyline. Unfortunately, I did not like this book.
5. Naughty: 12/13 (4*)
The main male character is a douchebag...pretty much a douche throughout the book. But, he is an adorable and sexy douche with a naughty mouth. This was a cute, funny book. The douche redeems himself in the end but still has a little douche left in him.
6. Nice: 12/15 (3*)
Sweet, funny, and sexy. Ash wants to change his party boy ways to get Fee "the geek" to go out with him. This was a slow build up to a happy ending. It was nice to read a low angst story about somebody wanting to be a better person for love.

Naughty or Nice: 5/6
1. NICE: The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back, by Sariah Wilson, 4 stars, read 12/8/17
Jake, named after his mother's fav character from Sixteen Candles, is dreamy, plain and simple. Mattie has been dreaming about Jake being her boyfriend for years and he turns out to be just as good as her fantasies.

2. NICE: Anything You Can Do, by R.S. Grey, 4 stars, read 12/17
Lucas has loved Daisy from the moment they were born, meer hours from each other, but she always thought he hated her. She took his "hate" to heart and that drove her to be the best doctor she could be, just to beat him at everything they do. When she finds out she's been crushing his feelings for years, she's the one that crushed.

3. NICE: The Fortunate Ones by R.S. Grey, 5 stars, read 12/18
Brooke's days working at the country club are horrible but she's waiting for her dream job. The only thing that makes the nonsense worth it is when THE hottest club member and millionaire bachelor shows up. James wants it all but Brooke needs to catch up to him.

4. NICE: Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid, 4 stars, read 12/20
Quinn totally stole my heart, the way he interacts with looney Janie. He's intelligent and never makes fun of her, but encourages her to express what she thinking, whatever the situation. Quinn had me from the first words he spoke to Janie "...tell me about this seamless intercourse..." Sigh. She was actually rambling about the history of the calendar.

5. NICE: Friends Without Benefits by Penny Reid, read 12/23/17, 4 stars
Nico is too sexy for his own good and he makes Dr. Elizabeth's responsible world topsy-turvy with his charming smile and charisma.

Naughty:

1. 12\4 5*
