Perpetual good girl Lacey McGuire has two Christmas wish lists. One suitable for public consumption…and a private one that’s too hot to handle. Right at the wild, wicked fantasies about her best buddies and business partners Ryan Hollister and Bram Colton.
Besides the fact they’re both poster boys for Hunks ’R’ Us, they’ve been there for her through thick, thin and the heartbreak of a cheating fiancé. So what if her boys will never know they star in her sexiest daydreams? In her fantasy world, her heart will never get trampled again.
Ry and Bram are pretty sure Lacey never meant to email a list of some of her raunchiest wants. Particularly the one that tightens their shorts—she wants a threesome. With them. Although they’ve loved her for years, they made a pact to keep Lacey off limits in order to protect their friendship. Now all bets are off. And the quest to give her all she wants—and more—is on. Product Warnings This book contains a wickedly hot M/F/M ménage that will heat up the holidays. Friends steaming things up in a hot tub. Bondage and blindfolds. Sexy shenanigans at a Christmas tree lot. And maybe even a glimpse of Santa…in a Speedo.
At the ripe age of seven, I penned my first epic, complete with stick figure illustrations. Sadly, my drawing skills haven't improved much, but my love of creating fantasy worlds is still going strong. Yep, I still love writing about fairies, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures, only my stories pack a little more heat these days.
I currently reside in Michigan with my husband and overgrown lapdog. I'm a member of Romance Writers of America and Greater Detroit Romance Writers of America.
When I'm not writing or working the day job, I'm usually tinkering in the garden (weather permitting) or drooling over those smokin' hot Winchester Brothers from Supernatural. Strictly for research purposes, of course.
One year ago Lacey McGuire thought she was in love. She was engaged but broke it off after she discovered her fiancé was cheating. The whole situation really shook Lacey’s confidence in her own ability to hang on to a man, to make him happy. Why else would her fiancé have cheated? A year later, she is co-owner of a restaurant with her two best friends, Bram Colton and Ryan Hollister. Bram and Ryan are hotter than hot and not only have helped Lacey emotionally through the past year but unknown to them, they have been the star attractions of her most intimate fantasies. After she is accused by an ex of Bram’s of being boring, she has a couple glasses of wine and decides what better way to prove she isn’t boring at all. She writes a naughty list of all the things she wants to do, including some very specific things with both Bram and Ryan. She emails the list to her work email but unbeknownst to her, she emailed it to Bram and Ryan.
Bram and Ryan have been best friends with Lacey for fifteen years and have loved her for just as long. But they could never make her choose between them so to save their own friendship, they long ago made a pact to never let her know how they feel. That is, until they read her naughty list. Now, they want to make sure everything on the list does come true.
Lacey is having the time of her life with Bram and Ry, but this is just a fling, just fun, right? She can’t let emotions get involved. If she falls in love, she could end up getting hurt. Emotions would ruin everything. But why is her heart doing that strange flip flop thing and why do Bram and Ry look at her like that? She is going to have to end this now before it goes too far. Before her heart gets broken again.
“They both needed to face the facts. Lacey might love them, but she was too afraid to ever allow them access to her heart.”
This book is crazy hot as Lacey, Bram and Ry experiment with the three of them being together. But not only is it a sexual awakening for them, it’s an emotional one as well. Bram and Ry finally have the opportunity for all their dreams to come true, to openly love the woman of their dreams. But Lacey is so afraid. Can they convince her that they will never hurt her like her ex did? That true love is worth taking the risk for?
I loved this book so much. The sex was off the charts but I also fell in love with these three. Jodi also wrote Checking It Twice which takes place one year later but I read them out of order. If this is a genre you enjoy, I highly recommend both of these books.
3 Stars! Lots-O-Naughty! Good, but not great...and I'm going to say it...here I go...is it possible...yes it is...too much sex, and not enough emotion to accompany it!! I wanted to be a little more invested in the characters and by the time the feelings came into play, after Ry, Bram and Lacey played ALOT, the story just ended...just ended, so annoying! Had the author taken all the internal thoughts from the characters and turned it into actual dialogue it would have been a much better story. What I did like, was this was not just a fling, but something they all wanted as a committed long-term relationship. Still in all, it was fun, and I'm thinking of making my own naughty list. I can think of plenty of dirty to do, I just need to find 'a few good men', and therein lies my dilemma! Oh, who am I kidding?!?! It sure is fun to dream though!!
Ohmigawd, this book is H.O.T! I picked it up on a whim and I'm so happy I did.
*Dancing happy dance*
Bram and Ry:
"We want to give you that threesome, Lace. Along with everything else on your list."
This was my first polyamorous romance and I didn't know how I would feel about it. Bram, Ry and Lacey have been best friends for 15 years. Bram and Ry both love Lacey but have a pact that neither of them can have her because they don't want to destroy their friendship. But when Lacey sends her Naughty Wishlist including a threesome with them all bets are off.
It turned out to be such a sweet best friends-to-lovers story. It's also about Lacey rediscovering her sexuality and trying all the things she dreams of with her two (very hot) best friends. In lalala-land I found it believable. It's not very deep but just what I needed today. It's a delicious pick-me-up and a quick raunchy read and as such it's as good as they get.
And Bram and Ry *fanning myself*. They both invaded my book-boyfriend hall of fame. Lacey is one very lucky girl.
Short, hot, menage holiday story. I loved Jodi's Three Ways to Wicked and was a great steamy story that I was able to read early this morning in less than an hour. I only rated it 3 stars since it didn't delve to much into the characters and was a little too short for the $3.44 I paid for it on amazon for my kindle, but it wasn't too bad. Though for others I would recommend they wait until it is either free or on sale for $.99.
Well this is one naughty list friends and business partners Ryan Hollister and Bram Colton are more than happy to be on, especially when the author of the list is Lacey McGuire – a woman both have loved and desired for a long time. After a break that has left her sore, and some bitchy comments from a woman who’s an ex of one of the heroes she creates a naught list containing the desires she never dares voice – and when she sends the list accidentally to Ryan and Bram, well that’s when the fun starts.
...want more wang for their fuck. ...like menages. ...like Jodi. (And her threesomes. RAWR.) ...enjoy being overwhelmed by large cocks that belong to very attractive men. ...can't get enough of the best friends to lovers trope. ...aren't quite sure about menages. Don't worry, so was Lacey. (Boy, is she sure now.) ...need a little kink in their erotica. ...love sexy shenanigans. (Seriously. I'm still giggling over the remote controlled vibrator.)
Some of it was horrible some of it was excellent. This is the most ambivalent I felt about a book in a long time. The good parts were thought provoking, the bad parts were puke inducing cliches...
I believe it was Amanda @ On a Book Bender who came up with the "If you're going to have a threesome, have it with Jodi" idea. Guys, she's not wrong. Jodi's threesomes have been known to save the world. THE WORLD! Who ever knew that being double teamed by a couple of hunky guys was so beneficial to our well-being as a species!
Now, there's no world-saving in this book. Sad, I know. But we still get a smoking hot threesome with three people who do the friends to lovers thing very, very well. Lacey, Ry and Bram have been best friends for 15 years. FIFTEEN YEARS. That's a lot of unrequited longing. Not to mention the backlog of dirty fantasies they've built up. I figure that between the three of them they're going to be rolling in the dirty for quite some time. Rawr to that, I say. RAWR!
As usual, Jodi Redford has given us a wonderfully fun, fantastically hot read. You know what they say: If you're going to have a threesome, have it with Jodi!
This one definitely lived up to it's name, because it is one naughty menage read... and delightfully so! The only thing I can think of that was wrong, was it ended far too soon! I thought that my tablet was going to spontaneously combust with all the heat this guys had going on. The chemistry between the characters was intense, but I also loved that it was a friends to lovers story as well. The three of them have been friends since high school. Both guys were in love with her, so they refrained from making her choose not knowing that she was in love with both of them too. After a misdirected email gets sent out, things definitely started to heat up between these three. :) I just really wish this had been longer, because I was loving these characters.
I really like the angle of these 3 friends becoming lovers. It made the possibility of a ménage relationship seem more real.
When Ry, Bram, and Lacey came together it was supper hot, and the author did a good job showcasing Lacey being reluctant due to her being hurt in the past.
It was a short, hot read.
Definitely interested in reading Jana's story, because I absolutely think that it is going to be a crazy ride.
“Life’s too short to regret the things we let slip us by because it hurts too much to let go of the past.” A very detailed read. I had to skip some pages because I just couldn’t play that in my head. I couldn’t find the plot, nor the character development BUT it was a short okay read. Basically, there are three amigos. Two boy and a girl. The girl is mercilesely in love with both male besties, and both male besties are mercilessly in love with the female besties unknown to each other. Girl gets drunk one night and writes a Naughty list with the help of her fantasy lover? Then sends it accidentally to both male besties??? So what happens next, and if anything happens is the ending going to promising or just another great friendship ruined? What? You read it yourself and find out, i’m only rant/review account…. But however if you go into this looking for like a defined plot….you’re wrong. Developed character….I feel like you’re also wrong! It’s erotica! And only abut a 100-125 page ish. Very descriptive, and sometimes cringy conversation that I really refuse to believe people talk like that… (but again who am I to judge knowing fully well how cringy I can sound at times). But, I don’t think I can read a book like this again…I mean smut is good but I need a purpose and not the entire book being based on s** but again it was a short read and the title and cover should have warned me.
Finally I found a story that was hella smutty, not repetitive with the smut, and had just enough story to not lose my interest. MMF pairing and ohhhhh yeeeeesssss 🥵 Nothing dark, but hella dirty. Fun read! My only hang up was the overuse of “nubbin” 🫣 IYKYK
This was a lot of fun! I really liked our main characters and their close relationships with one another. A good romance-friendship balance is always fun.
Good girl Lacey McGuire may think that her business partners (and BFFs) Ryan and Bram are super sexy, but she'd never tell them to their face. Then, she drunkenly e-mails them a racy "wish list" of all the hot sexual things she'd like to do (to them, mostly) for the holidays. A kind of horny bucket list created by a drunken woman desperate for great sex. Turns out they find her attractive, too, and are willing to do anything to make her holiday dreams come true.
A hot, sexy, menage romance for the holidays? Yes, please. The relationship between Lacey, Ryan, and Bram is wonderful. They go out of their way to maintain their long-term friendship and business relationship as they're getting it on and falling in love. A great holiday romance, if you like yours spicy.

Bram has the looks of a surfer and is more carefree and fun-loving. Ryan is darker in coloration and more serious and intense. Lacey's the smart, beautiful and "boring" girl. The boys are in love with her and she with them, but only Bram and Ry know how the other feels. Lacey, Bram and Ryan have been best friends since high school and now they run a bar and restaurant together. The personalities of the three are lively, intense and passionate. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments between the mental meanderings and the verbal sparring. After drunk-emailing a Christmas Wish List by accident, every kinky desire is known and the guys are more than happy to fulfill her -and their own- fantasies. Once the list is "out", the story line kind of re-prioritizes, keeping the sexual tension and encounters in the foreground and pushing any real elemental depth back. There was some conflicting drama available to add a bit of dimension that lingered throughout the story, but was resolved quite suddenly in the end. A solid ending was provided with minimal predictability.
This was a pretty good story. I liked Lacey, Ry and Bram and enjoyed their story. This is the first story I've read by this author and based on this I'd try more in the future.
Lacey is a nice woman with some major self image problems. This hasn't been helped by past boyfriends, including a now ex-fiancee that cheated on her, causing her to break up with him. Regardless of how the breakup occurred it took her a long time to recover. Her 2 best friends, Ry and Bram (who she's been friends with since childhood and also co-owns a bar with) have been there for her when she needs them. She's secretly in love with them (although she tells herself it's just lust) but they're mega hot and she's sure she'd never have a chance with them.
Ry and Bram are both good guys. They have both been in love with Lacey since they first saw her 15 years before. Unfortunately, they both loved her equally and neither was willing to step away so for the sake of their friendship, Ry and Bram made a pack that neither of them would go after her. They both have their fair share of women but none of them come anywhere close to what they feel for Lacey, who they believe only sees them as friends.
As the story begins, Lacey gets some snide comments thrown at her by one of Bram's exes about being boring and a goodie toe shoes so she goes home, has a little (read: lot) of wine and decides she's going to write out a "Naughty" wish list. She does but when she's trying to email it to herself...Oops!...she accidentally sends it to Ry and Bram. When Ry and Bram get the email, they're floored by the contents, especially one item on the list saying she wants a threesome with them. Knowing she's attracted to both of them opens doors for Ry and Bram that they hadn't expected so they decide to give her what she wants. Lacey realizes about the mistake in sending the list right before a confrontation with Ry and Bram and tries to play it off as a joke but they don't believe her. They get her to agree to let them give her one item on the list and if she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to go further. Lacey, who is in total denial about being in love with them, decides to agree, thinking it'll just be a kinky fling with no emotions in the mix.
As you might expect, there is a lot of hot sex in the story and even a visit to a BDSM club (mostly it's just bondage, a blindfold and anal in the mix). Through this all, there are building emotions in the three of them...Ry and Bram thinking how perfect the situation is and wanting to make it permanent and Lacey thinking it can only be a fling because she's no where near exciting enough to hold their attention long term. There's some stress and drama before things all get worked out but in the end Lacey stops being stupid and accepts their love so they have their HEA.
I enjoyed this story and I liked the main characters That being said, there were times when I wanted to smack Lacey but considering there wasn't any additional plot past the romance/sex aspect, I guess the drama had to come in somewhere. LOL. Overall, I thought it was pretty good and a hot read. A good way to spend a few hours. :D
When Lacey accidentally emails her The Naughty List, created one drunken night, to her two business partners/long-time friends things heat up quick. (I'm sure if she knew that all it would take to turn their fifteen year friendship and lustfest into a threesome she would've created her list sooner!) Of course, her two besties are super hot and have been in love with her for many years. The thought of being able to share her instead of her choosing only one of them is a dream come true for these two. Not only that, but these two hunks of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate are the best of buds and have already experienced a threesome with a no-name in the past; this makes it even easier for them to imagine Lacey in their bed. So, when they get Lacey's "oopsy, you weren't supposed to get that" email, they desperately want to believe that this isn't another of her forwarded joke emails, but rather a green light to take the relationship further.
This story was a quick, hot (not scorching, but hot enough to quickly melt away the winter chill at Christmastime) read. I will try to remember this one when I need a pick-me-up each Christmas. This was also my first read by Jodi Redford. I will have to hunt down some of her other books to see if they are just as much fun. I really liked her characters. She did a great job of creating a hot story with characters who struggle with their desire to keep their friendship strong, their new relationship more than just a fling, and their dream a constant reality.
