Six high-heat stories with something for everyone.
Jace and Quinn risk getting caught while in a web meeting. Brielle and Kirstin try more than new clothes in a dressing room. Cody and Brayden play spin the bottle and learn more about themselves than they bargained for. John and Jane Doe take an elevator to ecstasy. Roommates Zach and Hayden call each other's bluff. And Alec is in for one hell of a birthday gift when Val invites their friend Nikki to join them.
Roux Emory is an erotic author based in Northern California. They write across pairings for queer content as well as heterosexual work. Roux specializes in short form fiction and poetry.
Naughty is short smut with diversity that often isn't included in short story collections, such as a deaf gay man or a poly amorous relationship at the end. About the only things that could have made it more varied would've been a cross culture union, a huge age gap, or a senior citizen romance. There's nothing too morbid or violent; everyone is consenting to everything; no trauma soaked in these stories.
It's heat-filled sex stories that doesn't challenge you to bend your mind or heart too much to accept it. Sometimes, that's enough.
Emory's prose is erotica without too much frills, full of oral sex and blow jobs. I didn't have a close emotional connection with any of the six protagonists, so I'm wondering who will be revisited again for the second collection. If a short burst of smut is what you're looking for, then give this a try.

This was truly interesting and exciting for several reasons, partly because I didn’t know what level of spice to expect, and partly because I had never read short stories before.🌶️
I received this book as an ARC and was really looking forward to giving it a try. It was such a full experience and so entertaining, especially with stories that move so quickly from beginning to end.❤️🔥
There was plenty of spice, but without any dark elements, which is great for readers who don’t want to read dark books with spice. The characters were very enjoyable, some I liked more than others, which is of course personal preference. Overall, it was a lovely read that is also very fast-paced for those who enjoy that, and I would absolutely recommend it to readers who appreciate these aspects.🤍
Overall, I would give this book 4 out of 5 🌶️ and rate it 3.75 ⭐️
Erotic yet sensual content, alluring characters, fun and surprising plot lines all leave the reader excited for more! Fitting for all in the lgbtq+ community and more! Hoping for a volume 2 and many more! The author does an amazing job setting the scenes and describes characters and their feelings in ways that make the reader feel present in the moment. Overall, a very good read.
Six incredibly steamy, short, unique stories. Each story is so different, not just because they're their own stories, but it's not just the same sex, same situations. You have a few exhibition styles stories, a few first time stories, even one in third person POV. Nothing is repetitive and it keeps your interest the entire time.
I will say this book has a little bit of everything, some so descriptive it had me blushing. It was an easy read though if you’re looking for a quick interesting romance with some spice. It’s six steamy short stories in one. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
This was a short and spicy read. I did enjoy the diverse in couplings and a few of the stories were really well written. I think I enjoyed 4 out of the 6 stories. The two I didn’t prefer just lacked some context and just didn’t hold my interest.
I really enjoyed this book. Was the first book of short stories like this I’ve read. Perfect amount of spice. Lover all the characters and the stories. Can’t wait for more! Happy I got to ARC read for this author!!
This has something for everyone! I love the fact they are short stories. They really pull you in and you almost hate that some of them end but this was really a great book and I can't wait for more!
I enjoyed the short stories in Naughty. Each being different age/gender/ sexes. It gave a diverse dynamic to the world smut & spice. And I was here to read it.
