Nauti Nights (The Nauti Trilogy, Book 2)

The passion grips you all the way through. Dawg is so Alpha with a capital A, that you can imagine that what he has within his pants he could uproot trees with. This is a great book, even my husband liked it. The characters are so real and meaty, I can't praise it enough. I also liked the first book of the series and also Lora's Forbidden Pleasure. I need a shower now to cool off. I have to admit that I am a relative newcomer to Lora's work, but I can see that her output is prolific and will keep me entertained for some time to come. On another tack, if you like steamy sex and passion in a short story format, check out Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica what it lacks in literary gloss, it more than makes up for raw eroticism.

I have to say Ms. Leigh hit the story right on. I was captivated by Crista and Dawg from the first page. The fact that Crista was strong enough to walk away from him had me on the edge of my seat. I thought this was better than the first story Nauti Boy. I just liked Dawg better. I hope that Natches story will be as captivating as Dawg's. If you like Lora Leigh, Nauti Nights is a must read. This book is a keeper and I will read it again. B. Catanese

What a great read!! I just finished, and loved this book just as much as the first. As always the writing was good and the characters well developed. I think each book brings them to a higher level, and we understand them more. I like that all these characters have such a long history between them. It really adds another element to all of them and the story. The only thing that I hope changes in the next book is for Kelly, Rowdy, Dawg, and Crista to be a little more involved in Natches story. Since Natches, Rowdy, and Dawg grew up like brothers, it would be great for them to have a little more interaction. Just a very minor criticism. I can hardly wait until the next book comes out in the summer. A must have and a keeper!

Crista Jenson is in the wrong place at definitely the wrong time. Trying to locate a box of items she had shipped to town when she moved back home, she is stunned to discover a warehouse full of bad guys and even meaner enforcement officers. Men are screaming, bullets are flying, and the biggest surprise of all comes in the very virile and devastatingly handsome visage of Dawg Mackay, town bad boy and secret DEA agent. Dawg gets Crista out of harm's way and in doing so gives her an ultimatum she can't very well refuse. Dawg Mackay doesn't know why Crista Jenson is in the warehouse during a DEA sting but he is going to find out if he has to kidnap her to get answers. And kidnap her he does. He takes her to his boat, the one place he calls home. There Dawg demands answers; answers Crista is unable to give. Since she isn't talking there is just one thing for Dawg to do. He is going to make sure she sticks to him like glue and if he has to keep her on his boat, then so be it. Passions flare and sparks fly. Crista and Dawg circle each other warily until the chemistry between them builds to an excruciating need. Giving in to their desires, the two come together in blazing heat. Feelings long denied are uncovered and these two lovers have no choice but to surrender to what their hearts demand - love each other as completely and as naughty as they can. NAUTI NIGHTS is the second book of Lora Leigh's Nauti series and proves to be exactly as the title alludes. Nauti to the core, Dawg Mackay is hardcore and refuses to apologize for his ways. Investigating missing weapons and possible illegal links to Crista, Dawg does what he thinks best. And his best is hot enough to scorch the pages of this book. Virile, sexy and downright lusty, Dawg tops my list of "bitable" men. The man can ratchet up the heat in this book with one searing look. Crista with her sassy attitude and witty banter is no slouch when it comes to standing up to Dawg. She baits and taunts the forceful hero, and the reader is left holding her breath waiting to see who wins the next round. In my opinion, they both do. Grab the ice before picking up this book! And give yourself plenty of time for an engrossing read, because once you start, you won't set it down before the final word. Lora Leigh, being the prolific author that I have come to love and adore, has just whetted my appetite for more. The third book of this Nauti series, Natches' story, is due to be released next year. NAUTI NIGHTS releases from Berkley in November. If book one, Nauti Boy, has not been read, I would recommend reading prior to NAUTI NIGHTS. It is not required but you won't want to miss a single scene in the lives of these extremely naughty men.

When Dawg Mackay has his mind set on something, nothing can stand in his way. Right now, his mind is dead set on having Crista Jansen any way he wants her. Lucky Crista. Dawg has wanted his friend's younger sister for years - years during which she has done nothing but run from him, much to his frustration. Now he has her right where he wants her and he isn't above blackmailing her into his life. Crista has loved Dawg for years, but one mistake years ago stands between them. It was a night he doesn't remember, but one she can never forget... Lora Leigh describes her hero in the second book of the Nauti Trilogy as `hard core' and Dawg Mackay has absolutely no trouble at all living up to that description - much to my utter delight! I have hungered for his story since I read the previous book in the series, Nauti Boy, and will say without reservation that Nauti Nights surpassed my expectations, which were pretty darn high to begin with. Crista is the epitome of the Lora Leigh heroine - strong, soft, intrepid, caring, and with a bit of tragedy in her past that simultaneously makes her stronger and also serves as an obstacle to her relationship with the man she loves. Dawg is just IT. So Alpha-male he will make your knees wobbly, he is not without a degree of sensitivity - well, in his own dominant way, of course! LOL There are times he does things that make you want to just throttle him, and you keep watching for Crista to do just that, but the omniscient view the reader enjoys makes his domineering manner a little easier to take, since we know all along that the man's heart is definitely in the right place. As Nauti Nights ends, the author leaves us with a teaser guaranteed to leave fans panting for the next book in the Nauti Trilogy, but more than satisfied with the happy ending she crafts for Crista and Dawg. Carrying readers through a roller coaster of emotions - love, lust, sadness, happiness, and more, Nauti Nights is a perfect example of everything I love about Lora Leigh's work.
