Publisher's Summary

A cute teacher gets a spanking this Christmas. How hot can it get being on his former student’s Naughty List?

Is Aaron allowed to want a hot holiday fling with his young former student? Even more forbidden, is he allowed to want this student to spank him?

It’s another Christmas, and Aaron is still in the closet as a gay man and a natural submissive. With one youthful indiscretion blacking his ethics record, he can’t afford to indulge his desires no matter how pent up and needy that leaves him.

Until his former student comes home for the holidays.

Dominant and charming, RJ knows what Aaron needs - intense, steamy encounters and a firm hand. As Christmas nears, RJ helps Aaron unlock his true self. But family and fallout await, and all good things must end.

Or can their hot holiday affair turn them into lasting lovers?

Mr. Naughty List is a steamy Christmas MM romance set in the Home for the Holidays series that began with Mr. Frosty Pants, but can be listened to as a standalone. Featuring light D/s, spanking, an older sub with a younger Dom, former student/teacher dynamics, and, of course, warm, sweet holiday feels complete with a strong happy ending.

Does not disappoint

Mr. Naughty List by Leta Blake is the second in her Home for the Holidays series and can be read as a standalone. RJ had a cameo role in Mr. Frosty Pants as one of the secondary characters, thus tying Mr. Naughty List to the series. Here we learn about him and his kinks, which are both deliciously naughty and heartwarmingly romantic at the same time.

Are you on Santa’s naughty or nice list this holiday season? Let’s be naughty together this year!

As always, the narration by John Solo is riveting, as he unfolds the past and currently budding relationship between RJ Blitz and Aaron Danvers. His depiction of their kinky times conjures up a live porno in our mind, which dramatically ratchets up the heat. Conversely, he delivers the tender and intimate moments in such a way that fills our hearts with the romance we crave.

There isn’t an age gap to speak of, since only a few years separate RJ and Aaron. RJ was once Aaron’s student, an underachiever angry at the world. At the time, Aaron was a new teacher, trying to navigate his life as a grownup and really didn’t focus on the broody teenager; whereas RJ struggled to control his racing hormonal mind against the devious things he wanted to do to his sexy teacher.

The Dom/sub component is light BDSM play with an older sub and younger Dom that is behind closed doors and fulfills both RJ and Aaron – the “Mr. Danvers” role play is delectable. Their time together is supposed to be a holiday fling that will end when RJ returns to his career as a musician and Aaron to his teaching career. Uh Oh! Feelings develop and their hearts engage. Now what? Will the holidays work its magic on RJ and Aaron?

The contrast between Aaron, the meticulous control freak (unless he is in the bedroom,) and unsettled powerhouse, RJ, gives their story credibility and definition. It’s their insecurities that both bind them and could also be their demise. The family drama on both sides is a catalyst to grasp onto their undeniable attraction and the very thing standing in their way.

Aaron’s dad is a real hoot. His acceptance of Aaron and his unconditional love for his son warms my heart. On the other hand, Aaron’s mother is a piece of work. Her manipulations of her son, molding him into the image he “needs” to project, are downright disgusting. When Aaron finally takes control of his life out of her hands, it’s glorious.

I struggled with the concept of a romantic coupling of a former student and his teacher being considered “taboo,” while at the same time, I guess I get it. At this point in their lives, both RJ and Aaron are consenting adults and although there was attraction during those earlier years, it was never acted upon. In fact, the flashback to those times is merely humorous innocent fantasies.

Mr. Naughty List takes the joy of the holidays and works its magic on two restless souls, bringing them together. Just wait until you get to their epic happy ending; it does not disappoint.

Santa’s Naughty list

Those who know me, know that I’m not a huge Christmas fan. That being said, a good book centering around the holidays will bring me a bit of cheer and this was that book. I’m a fan of Leta Blake and so was looking forward to this book and I wasn’t disappointed.

Aaron is lonely. He does random hookups with guys passing through Knoxville, but he keeps those dalliances secret. He’s a teacher who was caught with his pants down with the wrong person. That man wasn’t censured, but Aaron was. The only job he could get after that is one that brings him a measure of satisfaction, but he’s always watching his back. He loves teaching, but he also yearns to be able to be honest about who he is. But he can’t, so in the closet he stays.

R.J. finished high school and lit out of town. He had a rough go of it and being part of rock bands and touring the world has brought him minor celebrity, a bit of cash, and a whole lot of loneliness. When he spots his former composition teacher, he seizes the opportunity for some fun. Mr. Aaron Danvers featured in some of his more intense fantasies as a young man and now he’s presented with the opportunity to act out some of those. He’s also home for Christmas and has the opportunity to reconnect with his mother and her new family. It hurts that she’s so much more present for his younger half-siblings, but he’s mature enough to understand she did the best she could when he was growing up.

So the two men hook up. And man is it hot. I always love a little BDSM with my romance and this book delivers. BDSM lite. I also love when the standard dynamics of older physically dominant man and younger submissive slighter man. This book tosses out the old tropes and gives me something different and I loved that.

There are plenty of family dynamics on both sides so there’s lots to keep the story going. The question was how could they continue their relationship after the holidays ended and RJ goes back on tour? Well, that’s an answer for that question as well.

I also enjoyed the humor including the inappropriate cat and the general fun. This was a light-hearted book that touched several dark topics including previous abuse and parental alienation.

So overall a great book. I’m going to have to go back and read the first book in the series, even if it is unrelated.

Quick note on the narration of John Solo. I think he suits the material and did a great job. A great pairing just in time for the holidays. Enjoy.

Enjoyable!

I really enjoyed Aaron and RJ's story. It was filled with so much warmth and caring and then sprinkled with dashes of very hot kink and steam, topped off with doses of some family drama and character developmentand evolution. It was a combination that really worked for me. I have always enjoyed Leta Blake's writing. She really writes her characters well and I always feel so connected to them. RJ had a strength and maturity I really liked and was just what Mr. Danvers (Aaron) needed to come out from behind his teacher's desk and really embrace life and how he wanted to live, love and be loved.

The story was really elevated for me by John Solo's narration. He is just so talented and brings such emotion and feeling to the story. He was fabulous here, bringing Aaron and RJ to life...the whispers, the sighs, the chuckles, the drama, the feelings...he just brings it all and it just takes the story up a level.

Surprisingly good!

This one I put off cause I am not into rom-novels for the sexy scenes as much as I am for the fluffy falling in love and dramatic backstories. The over all kinky nature of the plot didn't appeal to me, but eventually I caved after listening to the other books in the Home for the Holidays series. I loved both of those.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up actually liking it. This book grew beyond the general ideas I had of the plot and it proved that it has as much heart as the other two books in the series.

Superb read!

I loved this book...but not Aaron's s mom. I felt that this book shows what acceptance is and isn't. RJ and Aaron touched all the feels in my heart!

Domination for Christmas

I’m not usually a fan of Ds stories but this was really good. A good follow up to Mr Frosty Pants. Great narration.

A Great Holiday Steamy Read

It starts out on the light side of kink and builds up to a more heavy BDSM relationship.

John Solo delivers another wonderful performance, he was fantastic, Absolutely enjoyed listening to him.

Mr. Naughty List

Excellent narration by John Solo. He was so expressive and the voices he did were awesome. I got chills when he did the Principal’s voice and instantly hated her, for more than one reason...

John’s excitement in the narration shone through and reminded me of watching A Christmas Story.

Overall the story was very good aside from, what felt like, the overuse of full character names. Although sometimes it did serve a purpose.

I very highly recommend this book, especially the audiobook.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Gay Romance Reviews and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Naughty Christmas

I enjoy Christmas stories and kinky stories, so I was in audiobook heaven! I loved that the sub is older and the Dom is younger. The characters were brought to life by the narrator. John Solo did an amazing job.

Beautiful Christmas Romance ❤️

I absolutely loved this and I have no hesitation in recommending it!
Perfect, naughty,hot, Christmas romance ❤️
John Solo's narration is simply sublime, brilliantly taking this gorgeous story, and effortlessly, raising it to another level .
Aaron and RJ are perfect together,but, I'm not going to give spoilers for their story. You'll just have to dive in, and immerse yourselves in this delightful story.

Festive

I really loved this story and was sad when it ended. I preferred this book to Mr. Frosty Pants even.

Mr Danvers hasn't had an easy life. with an overbearing control freak of a mother, who could?

RJ is back in town for the holidays to spend time with his Mom and Step Dad and his adorable siblings.

Neither of these men could have foreseen meeting again and connecting. What ensues is a whirlwind of emotions and give and take.

They promise to each other it won't just be a holiday fling and that they will see where it goes. Where do they end up? Listen and find out!

A different kind of love

I'm sure there are men who love this kind of love but it's not for me. It's well weitten and the love they find is good for them but pain well its personal choice. I love the storys by Leta Blake but not sure about this one.

OMG, so so good!

the perfect follow on from Mr Frosty Pants! an exceptional hot 🔥 and steamy journey to finding and discovery a new or untapped part of themselves. I loved Aaron and RJ. while unconventional and maybe a little hinky, I couldn't love their journey more!! There's so much raw emotion in this book, so much passion and growth. I loved taking this journey with Aaron and RJ and I think they'll stay with me for a long while!!!

A kinky Christmas but so sweet

I adored this. Ultimately its a sweet tale of a man who doesn't believe in love falling for a man who doesn't believe he's loveable. It's kinky, with spanking and some domination, and that's a nice contrast to the sweetness of the developing relationship.
Excellently narrated by John Solo.

Aaron and RJ

Aaron is a School teacher who is in the closet thanks to his Mother demanding he not embarass her, RJ a former student is home for Christmas and fantasized about this teacher and cant believe his luck, when they hook up for a one nighter, which lasts alot longer. Beautiful story and perfect narration

The perfect Christmas story!

I enjoyed a lot this kinky Christmas story, full of heartwarming moments, a few angst that added a little spice to everything and many hot scenes. Aaron and RJ love story is a nice treat special for this season. And guess what is even better? That the book is narrated by one of my favorite voice actors. Mr Solo's performance caught completely the essence of the story and characters. A perfect Christmas story!

Such a great holiday romance with some edge...

I read this book almost a year ago, and listening to John Solo narrating it only made it even better.

I really liked RJ, who despite having some issues, jumped with both feet at the chance of being with Aaron. Much like the first time, it took me a while to warm up to Aaron because of his relationship with his mother, who was horrible. Still, Aaron and RJ were amazing together and while there's D/s in this book, it wasn't over the top and fit their dynamics perfectly.

John Solo did a fantastic job bringing RJ and Aaron (and the rest of the cast) to life. His voice is just so pleasant and engaging and it enhanced the experience for me.

Very recommendable!

So Romantic, John Solo is Fabulous!

Leta Blake brings her own brand of kink to this hurt/comfort romance. Blake always does a fantastic job with D/s and writes such romantic power exchanges!

Aaron pretty much broke my heart. Between his mom and the way he changed his life to try and please her, and how he settled for hook-ups instead of even trying to find love. RJ comes into his life at exactly the right time, and the romance between them really works.

The audiobook is performed by John Solo who does a wonderful job. It's been way too long since I've listened to one of my favorite narrators, so if you're looking for a feel good, super kinky, sweet romance, Mr. Naughty Book should be at the top of your holiday to-listen-to list!

New narrator

I first heard this narrator on Davidson king audio book and automatically became my go to narrator he didn’t disappoint I enjoyed this story.
