The Naughty List by Jade West
This is the first book in the Naughtier and Naughtier series.
Ella, a desperate, newly single goth girl with a mountain of debt, would do anything to see her parents this Christmas… the problem is, her parents live on the other side of the world.
So, when she’s granted access to The Naughty List – a marketplace for dirty proposals from rich strangers – she opts to take everything and anything she can get.
She thinks she’s a good player, getting five-star reviews like a good girl and climbing the ranks – until she stumbles onto The Naughty List’s most daring group of all…
The Hardcorers.
Players who will fulfil any proposal clients ask them to, just so long as the price is right.
Can Ella be one? Can she really climb The Naughty List right the way to the top of the tree?
The idea gets even more thrilling when she meets Weston… the hottest Hardcorer of them all.
As it turns out, maybe it’s not just money that Ella’s truly desperate for this Christmas…
Jade West is a favourite of mine when I want a quick easy, smutty read, and this fit the bill perfectly.
The characters were brilliant and the plot was great. As always, the spice was top notch.
Ella was great. I loved seeing her character grow in confidence. Eb was great as well, a true friend. Even with the amount of spice, there was still a great good plot. Ella was successful in her mission, but then the Santa client added more questions. I’m looking forward to seeing where this leads in the next book. I’m also looking forward to seeing where things will head with Josh.
The list of kinks in this book is massive. Ella wanted to be a Hardcorer, and she definitely was. This isn’t a book for the innocent. It’s damn right sinful at times and I’m all for it.
Overall, it was an enjoyable, easy, sexy read with a good plot. I would definitely recommend it.
My rating: 5/5*

Louis the Adventure Cat Takes on Mountain Challenge
Hello everyone,
I’m Jess Peters, and while many of you know me as the author behind *Alchemy Academy*, I’m currently embarking on an adventure that goes beyond the pages of my book. I’m not just bringing my story to the big screen with StormLight UK—I’m also making history with a very special companion, Louis the cat.
Our Mission: The Three British Peaks
On May 26th, Louis and I achieved something truly extraordinary: we successfully summited Mount Snowdon together. Louis isn’t just any cat—he’s a trailblazer, and with Snowdon under our belts, we’re now preparing to tackle the next two peaks: Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, on the 24th and 26th of August.
If we succeed, Louis will become the first cat to conquer all three of the UK’s highest peaks—a feat that’s not only record-setting but also a testament to the incredible bond between humans and their feline friends.
Why Are We Doing This?
This adventure isn’t just about the thrill of setting records. It’s also about giving back to a cause that’s close to my heart. As a proud cat parent of six, I’ve always admired the work of Cats Protection, a charity that dedicates itself to ensuring that every cat has a safe, loving home.
That’s why 20% of all the funds we raise through this challenge will be donated directly to Cats Protection. And here’s the exciting part: if we exceed our fundraising goal, we’ll increase that percentage even more! This is our way of making a tangible difference in the lives of our beloved feline companions.
Join Us on This Incredible Journey
As we prepare for the final two peaks, I’m inviting all of you to join us on this incredible journey. You can follow our progress, donate to the cause, and cheer us on as we aim to make history.
Every penny helps, or if you can’t, please share our adventure!
This challenge is more than just a physical test—it’s a story of determination, adventure, and the unwavering bond between me and Louis. Together, we’re showing the world that with a little feline charm and a lot of heart, anything is possible.
So, how many cats can say they’ve conquered the three peaks? With your support, Louis and I will proudly join that elite group.
Let’s make history together. Follow our journey, support our cause, and be a part of something truly special.
Thank you for being with us every step of the way.
