Naughty or Nice by Rachael Stewart
5.0
A Christmassy Rachael Stewart novel?… Yes, please!
Eve Beaumont is a feisty, strong woman but even she struggles to break away from the financial control her family have over her. It's even more frustrating when the only man she's ever wanted is despised by them, Specifically, her brother, Nate. So when Lucas Waring walks back into her life and wants to invest in her company, she's the only one please to see him.
Lucas Waring is rich beyond his dreams but he still hasn't got what he wants and she's called Eve Beaumont. He plans to invest in her company, but he also wants her in his bed. With the past destined to catch up with him, he's determined to stake his claim, until secrets threaten to destroy his chance to finally have what his heart desires.
I love a man in a sharp suit and Lucas is the epitome of class and sophistication. Oozing charisma, he's a ladies man. He's also rich, a billionaire but money doesn't always buy what you want and Eve is his idea of a perfect woman. After ten years, Eve still wants the only man she's ever loved but so many questions need answers.
The title says it all! It's sexy (phew, it's hot) packed with sharp dialogue and sexual tension. Eva and Lucas are well matched. Electrically charged chemistry sizzles between them, trying to assert influence over the other. However, events in the past promise to spoil what they both desire as outside influence tests their will power to the maximum. Thankfully, a happy and satisfying ending is the result for two people made for each other.
The narrative flows effortlessly and I was instantly drawn to the Eve and Lucas. Their romance is intense and this balances out well with a fascinating back story full of lies and deceit. Ms Stewart is one of my go-to authors and if you haven't discovered her novels, I suggest you should.
