When Nauti is NICE!

Janey Mackay, daughter of a traitor and sister to a patriot, has returned to her small hometown where she has been ostracized and condemned for her family connections by the community, while at the same time struggles with the feeling of being an outsider and tries to establish a relationship with her family and gain acceptance from those she loves. By managing the restaurant her father owned she hopes to gain the freedom and independence previously denied her, when a stalker threatens her very existence. When the danger to her is discovered Janey chooses Alex as her protector. Alex has secretly been lusting after Janey for years, but out of respect for her brother Natches, and his apprehension about their age difference, he has resisted these urges. Emotional conflicts, unknown danger, and steamy passion ensue. Lora Leigh does not disappoint in this newest installment of the Nauti Boys series. It has all of the elements of a great romantic suspense novel, though it is categorized as an erotic romance. The reader gets updates into the lives of the characters introduced in previous titles, while telling Janey and Alex's story.The book contains many emotional, steamy, sexy and scorching hot love scenes, with the perfect blend of intrigue, and suspencefully dangerous moments that makes this a late into the night, bleary-eyed for work the next day, sad to see it end, can't wait for the next one page turner. If you can't tell, I LOVED it! The only downfall is that we the readers have to wait until 2010 for the next book, Nauti Deceptions :( Read more of my reviews [...]

Who's next?

Please tell me there are more relatives hidden somewhere! These guy's scorch the pages of Lora Leighs books. Alex, while technically not a Mackay, ends up the love interest of a Mackay. Luckily he is cut from the same cloth as the other guys in this series. Highly recommend this story!

love the nauti boys!!

As usual, Lora Leigh does it again. Gotta love those Nauti men. I absolutely love how the males in her stories are so incredibly in love and devoted to their women. As if they can't breathe with out them. Love it! Their arrogance cracks me up sometimes. Its comical how they try and control their mates sometimes and just fail. Although the plot was not all that complicated in this particular book, it still had some suspense and TONS of passion. I like having the characters from previous and future stories involved in each book. Keeps us updated and also anticipating the upcoming stories. Looking forward to Zeke and Rogue's story. There's a fiery pair if I ever saw one! Great story. Enjoy!!

Even Mackay in-laws are fun!

A few months ago we left the Mackay brothers of Somerset finalizing the capture of the local terrorist Dayle Mackay, father to Natches, uncle to Rowdy and Dawg, and brother to Ray Mackay. Aside from Dayle's incestuous sister Nadine who falls to a sniper shot, the only casualty was 23-year-old Janey Mackay, Natches' baby sister, who had been drugged by her father and assaulted by her nasty Aunt Nadine and held hostage to prevent Natches from delivering the capture of Dayle, whom no one ever calls father, uncle or brother. Now, Janey is healed, physically, and is running the local restaurant that Dayle, a surprisingly good cook for a really, really bad guy, ran as a money-laundering ploy for his now-defunct terrorist group. A target for mysterious poison pen attacks, Janey finds Alex Jansen her personal guard dog and wanna-be lover. Jansen, an older man, the sniper who did for nasty aunty, has craved the young woman since she was an off-limits tease at 17. Alex must to protect her from both the hidden attacks and the plot-required frequently unpleasant attitude of some of the townsfolk. If you have read the previous Nauti books, the usual male heroes are all back, all testosterone-laden, and the previously-encountered peripheral folks also make, sometimes surprising, appearances. The three younger Mackay men are all married now and expectant fathers, which ups their control issues, natch. The romance starts early, continues along predictable, yet enjoyable, paths, and the denouement, while not totally unexpected, does have some element of surprise. The book is another winner for Lora Leigh, an author who has several very different book concepts running concurrently, producing very well-plotted and hot novels, all of which are on my 'must buy immediately' lists.

Alex Jansen and Janey Mackay definitely have something naughty going on in NAUTI INTENTIONS, Lora Leigh's fourth NAUTI BOYS installment. If Janey's brother Natches finds out what they are doing: there will be major heck to pay. Amazingly, that threat doesn't even slow these lovers down. Alex Jansen is too old and jaded for the likes of Janey Mackay, the younger sister of one of his best friends. Alex knows he is too old, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming and lusting after one tiny little vixen named Janey Mackay. When Janey was drugged by her father and then subsequently threatened by her aunt, Alex thought his heart would stop before he would be able to rescue her. And rescue her he did, and when the smoked cleared, one thing was certain - Janey Mackay was going to be his - no matter what Natches, his family, or even Janey herself had to say about it. Alex has waited long enough, and the intentions he has towards Janey are anything but honorable, and to be honest, they are quite naughty. Because of her abusive father and the control he had over her, Janey Mackay has had no choice but to sit back and watch Alex Jansen almost her entire life. She has loved him for so long she can't even remember when she didn't. However, just because she loves him doesn't mean she is willing to take what he gives her without him loving her back. She isn't willing to settle for handouts - she's earned the right to be independent. But when threats starting coming in, she loses some of that hard won independence when Alex decides he is sticking to her like glue until the danger passes. Janey can only hope that when he is done with her, she will be able to survive with her memories. Lora Leigh's writing skills and innate ability to weave a love story leave me speechless every single time I finish reading and close one of her books. NAUTI INTENTIONS is such a book. I met Alex Jansen in NAUTI NIGHTS, he is Dawg's brother in law, and since then I have been fixated on this alpha male character. Alex is in the armed services and tough as nails. He is not willing to put up with fools, nor is he willing to allow his woman to be in harm's way. "His way or the high way" came to mind more than once reading this enticing book, but it worked for me. He was fiercely protective without smothering and dangerous when threatened. Alex and his sinfully wicked sensuality made me blush more than once but kept me enthralled. Janey Mackay brought out the mothering instinct in me. She had to fight her entire life to suppress her feelings in order to protect her loved ones. Watching Janey blossom from a shy, innately quiet woman to the vixen in love with, and willing to take a chance on, Alex Jansen just made me happy and swooning in anticipation of their love scenes. NAUTI INTENTIONS is my favorite NAUTI BOYS book to date. Readers will be sighing at the love and often times comedic antics of Janey as she tries to bend Alex to her will. I am not sure if
