I came across The Naughty List by Jade West while randomly looking through a romance thread on Reddit. I figured I’d give it a shot since it seemed short and folks liked it. It was wildly hot. This isn’t a romance. It is straight erotica with barely a plot holding everything together. And honestly? I was absolutely okay with that!
I wish I had found this book back in December because it absolutely is holiday themed. We start off meeting Ella, our main character. She is in a funk, depressed over her boyfriend leaving her for another woman and in complete debt. Completely alone and working at a supermarket making minimum wage, Ella knows she needs a change. This is when she reaches out to the one online friend she has that is a s*x worker and asks about breaking into the business. Boyo, does she break into the business alright! Ella grows addicted to taking on new clients and new experiences. The author strings experiences/clients together, making it very clear what we’d be getting in each section. We start off vanilla with a nice, but boring guy, but quickly work our way to rough play, BDSM, CNC, and more. I really loved how each encounter was different and the clients did not seem to be blurred repeats of the same person.
I really enjoyed The Naughty List by Jade West. It was a great erotic read with characters that all seemed quiet lovely. The ending was happy and I wouldn’t say no to reading more. Absolutely look at the content warnings before going into this, however, so you which kinks to expect. I’d hate for you to pick this up and hate it simply because you didn’t appreciate a kink but ignored the CW list.
