A Little Naughty

A Small-Town, Marriage of Convenience Romance (Be Still)

By: Tia Louise

Narrated by: Dane Anderson, Willa Jaymes

I wasn’t planning to propose to Raif Jones, the bad boy from the wrong side of town. The one with the tattooed muscles, naughty blue eyes, and dimpled, James-Dean grin.

You see, it all started with a series of bad decisions.

First was flirting with a dangerous criminal to rescue a little girl I didn’t even know. Second was throwing a massive, masked gala in my small-town hideout (complete with drag queens) and not expecting to draw attention…

Then Raif rode in on a motorcycle and melted my undies (and my heart), saying he wouldn’t let anybody hurt me.

Of course, I asked him to marry me.

Imagine my surprise when he said yes.

We’re a little naughty and a lot hot, and the perks of being married are very… perky.
They’re perky in the shower, on the kitchen table, against the front door…

Until Bad Decision #1 tracks me down (thanks to Bad Decision #2), and my outlaw husband turns Alpha Protector, risking everything to keep us safe.

It’s just a marriage of convenience. It’s supposed to have an end date. But when the dust settles, walking away from Raif Jones could be the worst decision I’ve ever made.

(A LITTLE NAUGHTY is a small-town, marriage of convenience romance with single-mom vibes, a protective hero, no third-act breakup, and light suspense. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Perfect story

These were the perfect narrators to bring this story to life.

Raif is from the "wrong part of town" but trying against all odds to get better than his circumstances. Jemima comes stumbling into his life and they have a great story line full of all the chemistry. This book was a great read with the criminal element and trying to stay away from it. And I loved how all the prior characters were interwoven in the story without you needing to have read the prior stories (although you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't).

Great listen

A Little Naughty A Small-Town, Marriage of Convenience Romance (Be Still) is a very entertaining listen with likeable characters. Narrators Dane Anderson, Willa Jaymes are both new narrators to me. I enjoyed listening to both narrators and how they bought the character's and story to reality. Willa's inflection is easy to listen to and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to listening more books by these narrators. The story kept me captivated from the beginning to the end. Smexy times well placed into the storyline. Heartbreaking moments and tears cascading down your cheeks. The epilogue is the sweet icing on the cake.

Full of emotion, heat, angst and humor

Narrators - Dane Anderson and Willa Jaymes

This is my first time listening to these narrators. I absolutely loved them! They did such a phenomenal job of bringing life to these incredible characters. This was a great book to read but listening to it took this story to a whole new level.

This was full of emotions, sizzling heat, angst and humor. Both Raif and Jemima have troubling pasts. While Jemima is clearly moving away from hers, Raif is caught in a current that could pull him into a dark place. I ached for him to make the right decisions and found myself talking out loud to him as though I could change whatever the outcome was.

I loved Nikki and her sweet innocence that enriched the story in so many ways. This author does an incredible job developing her storylines around children and bringing them to real, heartfelt life each and every time.

Jemima and Raif are meltingly delicious. They light up the pages with not only their smexy times, but with the relationship they're building with each other and the fun characters in the town. Which reminds me to point out that this series has been THE BEST small town trope I've read in forever. I hate that this is ending. I need more!!!

This was completely unstoppable and the type of story you want to listen to again as soon as you reach the last page.

Romantic, unique, and intense

I just completed all four books in the “be still” series. All four were exceptionally well written. I thought I was going to like “a little taste” the best, particularly because I love the delicious voices of both vocal actors.

However, I ended up liking the last one “a little naughty“ the best. I love a story that will surprise me without manipulating the plot with some crazy thing from the left field. I loved that the protagonists were not super humans. They had faults and shortcomings and yes, a little naughtiness, but still lovable. I loved that the father could be an alcoholic, apparently useless and still be a sympathetic character. I love that the male protagonist, even though a tough guy, still enjoyed the simple pleasure of planting flowers. I particularly love that the couple in this story could still be good people without living in a mansion, and in fact, still lived in their little house at the end of the story. I also love the use of suspense, without overdoing it, dragging it on too long. And I like the touch of having “Bill“ in a death mask at the end to give it a little bit of a spooky touch. I even like that they were able to hold the whole series together with the theme of the fortune touch. My only regret is that the series seems to be over, and I will no longer get to visit the town of Eureka, North Carolina.

The Bad Boy saves her and she saves him right back

This has been a great series with lots of mystery behind the scenes and now we have Jemima who has rolled back into Eureka in a big way and has brought trouble with her. It will be the so-called bad boy of town that winds up saving her and she saves him right back. This shows us that looks can be deceiving and there is more to a person than their name. There are lots of fun hot times going on for these two as well as becoming a family. I absolutely loved Raif and how he is a good guy at heart, that has been stuck in a bad situation. Jemima had a terrible childhood and is determined to survive and has lots of love to share along the way. It has great characters and a great story. I highly recommend this book. It is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. The previous characters are part of this book as well.

Dane Anderson, and Willa Jaymes bring Jemima and Raif to life and were perfect for their characters.
