Years of sexual tension finally come to a head when she seeks, and finds, temporary satisfaction in Justin’s arms.

Or will this sexy Christmas gift exchange turn into something more?

Scales is a national best-selling author of vibrant and passionate romance whose unique style of writing highlights real stories about real people falling in real love, and can be attributed to her humble upbringing in a small town in Southeast Texas, where happy endings were usually the result of hard work.
I loved this book! It was hot, sexy, and Naughty! But, it was too short! This is why I'm not a fan of shorts and novellas. You get invested in the characters and the book ends too soon. I need more of Nedra and Justin!
This was surprisingly good. Though a little naughty, I didn't expect the emotions and feelings that came with this book. It wasn't just a physical thing for Nedra and Justin. They actually had feelings. And don’t get me started on the family dynamic. I loved it. Seth and Nedra reminds me of me and my brother. A thorn in my side, but I LOVE HIM to pieces. Her relationship with her older brother with the special needs was absolutely beautiful ♡♡ I loved loved loved it. Though Nedra and Justin loooved to get it in, this story was not as "naughty" as I thought it was gonna be. There were a bit of spelling errors and missing words in this book, but not too distracting. Definitely, recommend 🙂🙃 This story was WAY TOO SHORT. I WANTED MORE!!
This was sexy! I really clutched my pearls at the first few pages, I was not expecting that intro to this story. It had a good amount of laughs and just enough spice for me.
Short and hot...whew! This short story is about two people who unexpectedly fall for each other. Oh, and they have lots and lots of sex. What I loved most about this novella was that although it is definitely erotica, there was more to the story than just sex. There was actually a storyline that kept my attention. I laughed out loud and dropped my jaw at a few "wtf" moments. The story also included a second couple that is included in the spinoff to this novella, Nasty: An Erotic Spin-Off.
Hot and steamy!!! This audible will set you on fire!!! Jakobi and Wesleigh did and awesome job narrating this book!!!! Nedra and Justin developed into a cute couple. This novella did not disappoint!
This was a super cute and short read. I liked the descriptions that allowed for you to visualize where the homes were that were mentioned and what they looked like. I liked the back and forth between Nedra and Justin and how you got a glimpse into their families and essentially how their families play a role in who they are. The sex scenes were smoking hot and left little to be misunderstood. Really good read.
No chestnuts were needed honey cuz whew!!! Nedra and Justin has enough fire between them because that first scene was one of the sexiest and nastiest sex scenes I have ever read. I really loved this book it was funny and sweet and I hope to read more about them in the future! Loved it.
I just loved me some Dwight! He was so sweet and hilarious. I loved the relationship he had with his siblings but Nedra especially. I loved everything about Justin and Nedra together. I feel a full novel here, especially with Phalin and Seth doing whatever.
First time reading this author and looking forward to more. Loved the story line and the characters. The relationship between the siblings were priceless. Bedraggled and Justin were perfect for each other. Seth and Phalin???
Nasty was strongly recommended, but then I found the first book in Amazon (but really you can read each as a standalone if you'd like). Loved the opener. Loved the family closeness. But yes I strongly recommend Nasty and Plus.
Enjoyed this holiday short as Nedra found a great gift Justin to act naughty. Light humor and great scenes. Seth and Phalin seems like they should have a story of own....
I listened to the audio. This was a perfect mix of erotica, romance, and real life. The characters were entertaining. The narrators did an excellent job. This is what erotica is supposed to be. It's about the lust, the passion, the sex and that's what she gave those of us who are familiar with this genre. Now let me go listen to this again. Yeah, I loved it that much. My full review will be on kaybeeafterdark.
I wasn't so sure what I was getting myself into when I downloaded this book. Boy am I happy that I made the choice to buy this book! I really liked this story and fell in love with Justin and Nedra. They were vulnerable, funny and had great chemistry. The jokes in this story were really funny too! Surprisingly I also loved Justin and Nedra's siblings (Seth, Phalin & Dwight). Sabrina did an excellent job writing a cohesive novella that really felt complete!
This was a great short read... I loved the style and flow of Sabrina B. Scales writing. It left me wanting to read more about Justin and Nedra. Their story ended abrubptly; hopefully the author will do a full length story exploring there journey... maybe bring Big Nose Darryl back :) and then explore what's happening with Seth and Phalin, I feel that there is a story there.
I was recommended this author, and I'm glad that I decided to read this. It has a lot of good elements like laughter, family, and knowing your worth. I love the relationship between each siblings and how honest they were with each other. I will be reading more books from this author.
First, let me say that Sabrina B Scales is quickly becoming one of my favorites in a short amount of time. From the first paragraph I was sucked in and within the first chapter I already understood where my loyalties would lie. Nedra and Justin were great together and the sex scenes *fanning myself* were explosive, to just be a fly on the wall. Sabrina’s details within every scene made me feel as if I was there, from the bedroom to the family gatherings I felt involved. The supporting characters added multiple elements to the story, even “big nose” Darryl gave what was needed. All in all for this to be a novella I feel that the character development and plot were spot on although I would love to hear more from this couple as well and Phal and Seth I wasn’t left missing anything only wanting more from this author
I loved this steamy Christmas story. Nedra and Justin’s chemistry is explosive! The supporting characters provided some comic relief, in between the steamy scenes.
A hot and steamy read that will keep you warm on a chilly night. A super sexy romance novella about two people at the beginning of their relationship. Nedra is at the end of a terrible situationship, while Justin is the perfect tall dark and handsome neighbour to help her move on from her situationship...
Great short story just in time for the holidays! Nedra and Justin were so cute together...and then when they got TOGETHER, the chemistry was off the charts! My first time reading this author, and I'll be back for more!
Nedra and Justin were hot! Their chemistry was off the chain. What really made me love this one was Nedra and her brother Dwight's interactions. Their closeness, along with Seth and their relatives, was hilariously sweet. Seth and Phalin got some thangs brewing too. That big nosed Darryl took me out!! Lol
She just gained a fan. I have to add her to my reading catalog so mad it ended I want more of Neesie and Just. Heck and Seth and Phal too! A great read!
Wow.... Let's just say I thoroughly enjoyed this very, very sexy short. Nedra and Justin did not come to play... Definitely one of the best Christmas shorts of 2018!!!!
