Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Savannah Peachwood

Good things don’t happen to a woman like Evelyn Fisher. In a few short years, she’s experienced a lifetime of disappointment. But her latest setback has proven to be a bigger debacle than she ever imagined.

Malcolm Westwood wouldn’t know hardship if it smacked him in the face. The heir to his family’s business and massive fortune, he’s lived a good life. Maybe a little too good.

And that’s why it’s all on the line.

Fed up with Malcolm’s carefree—and careless—attitude, his parents have given him an ultimatum. Either he straightens up, or he doesn’t get a dime.With his future hanging in the balance, the upcoming holiday season is proving to be anything but festive. But when he meets Evelyn, learns about her situation, and is desperate to secure his legacy, he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

Malcolm just never expected his plan would lead him to love.

Pure Fate!

From the moment Evelyn fell into Malcolms lap you could feel the attraction between them. Fate definitely played a role in making this romance happen at the perfect time. The Westwoods were extremely welcoming of Evelyn despite knowing their son’s history with women not so long ago. The only thing I wish we had was more details of their life together instead of 2 jumps through time at the end. I would have loved to hear more about their children and the life they made together. Overall great read and I cannot wait for the next book!

Great Series Starter

When you're at rock bottom, there is only one way to go. Evelyn had nothing left to lose so landing a job as Malcolm Westcott's personal assistant was a complete surprise. Malcolm may not have had the best motives for hiring Evelyn, but somewhere along the way he came to rely on Evelyn to help him navigate work and life. This story was complete slow burn, but the lead up to that pivotal moment when Malcolm and Evelyn define their relationship was oh so electrifying. Savannah Peachwood and Aaron Shedlock were stellar narrators for this story. The angst, the tension, the camaraderie all came through with the narrators' talented voices. I can't wait for what comes next in this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Just so so

I have to start out with the fantastic narration. These two narrators are always great and this time it’s no exception. The writing is very good and the dialogue is believable. There really isn’t much sexual tension (imo) during the story, and the steamy bits take FOREVER to happen.

Just the Beginning of a New Series!!!

Naughty Heart is the first book of a new series by A.K. Evans, The Westwoods.

I never get tired of hearing Aaron Shedlock and Savannah Peachwood narrating together. Aaron can always give you the sense of any character that he portrays as does Savannah. These two are incredible on their own but so powerful when combined into one audio!

Naughty Heart gives us Malcolm and Evelyn and what a great first book these two are! Malcom is told by his parents that is he doesn’t straighten up and get away from his playing around and get his life together he will not get the family company. Evelyn finds herself without a job after the downsized. Looking for a job around the holiday season is always hard but she managed to find herself in the lap of Malcolm.
Malcolm sees potential here, for him to get what he wants and to help her as well. He didn’t realize just how much she was beginning to mean to him. When Evelyn learns about his plan she is hurt and heartbroken but can they move past this or has the damage already been done?

It is always nice to come in on the beginning of a series and you can never go wrong with any series by A.K. Evans!

Malcolm and Evelyn's Christmas Romance

In an adorable meet cute, Evelyn literally falls into Malcolm's lap while searching for a job just a few weeks before Christmas. Malcolm is trying to find a way to show his parents he is worthy enough to take over the family business and decides to hire Evelyn with the idea she could fake date him to show his parents he's not a playboy type. But Evelyn shows him from the first week she is far more than a pretty face and helps him secure his place, all without knowing about his parents' ultimatum. This story was a great start to a new series and, as I love about A.K. Evans' writing, as solid and well-crafted story with all the things to keep a hopeless romantic reader engaged. The narrators were well-chosen for this story and brought Malcolm and Evelyn to life.
