Mr. Naughty List

Home for the Holidays, Book 2

By: Leta Blake

Narrated by: John Solo

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.

Great listen

Loved the Reader of the story- book was good and engaging - fun listen and wasn’t repetitive

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.

A festive, kinky story that will keep you warm

Thoroughly enjoyed this kinky BDSM Christmas romance from Leta! Narrated by the talented John Solo, with emotion and plenty of heat, it's a great holiday steamy read and a wonderful edition to the series.
Aaron and RJ explode on the pages and have fantastic chemistry between them. I usually don't read BDSM books, I like kink but a little less hardcore then this. Yet I feel like Leta built the relationship between both men really well, and gradually enough for me to get into it even if it's not my usual reading preference. And, of course, Leta describes their nights together with plenty of HEAT and well researched detailing. She did justice to the lifestyle, and I really liked that they started out lighter and built it up to a more BDSM relationship.
It was both, funny and emotional, I loved RJ's mother and stepdad, Aaron's father too. They had so much love to give and balance Aaron's cold-hearted mother.

It's a wonderful addition to the series (with Mr. Frosty Pants now out in audio) and I liked to see Casey and Joel again too.

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.

Wonderful!

This is my second listen to this one so obviously I love this audiobook! The characters are well developed and so interesting! Now it is a Christmas tradition!
