3.75star-THE SILVER FOX’S NAUGHTY LIST by Ella Jade is a contemporary, adult, age-gap, erotic, holiday romance focusing on forty-seven year old, billionaire real estate developer Huxley James, and twenty-three year old Ivy Mason.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Huxley and Ivy) THE SILVER FOX’S NAUGHTY LIST follows in the wake of a one-night stand between our story line couple. Ivy Mason was struggling to make ends meet when an invitation from her best friend to a Christmas Party was the perfect event to raise her spirits but Ivy never expected to meet her future in the guise of a man she only knows as ‘Silver’ but several days later Ivy will discover that the man she knows as ‘Silver’ is the billionaire real-estate developer with eyes on her grandmother’s property, a property Ivy Mason inherited. Huxley James had no idea the woman that calls to his heart is his next target. Hoping to develop the land, Huxley battles between head and heart knowing that to take her grandmother’s home would mean any chance with Ivy will be destroyed with one signature on the line.
The world building follows a naïve young woman who wants to keep her grandmother’s memories alive but not only is Huxley offering more than she could have ever imagined, several people are working behind the scenes to destroy any happiness for our story line heroine.
The relationship between Huxley and Ivy begins as a one night stand but Huxley is unable to forget the woman who has stoked his curiosity and need to settle down. Discovering Ivy is the owner of the lone property remaining on his track to a new build, Huxley must comes to terms with what he wants, now and in the future. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters are desperate and questionable, all of whom have a hidden agenda whether it be greed, jealousy or rivalry.
THE SILVER FOX’S NAUGHTY LIST is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and money, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is entertaining, engaging and edgy; the romance is seductive and a little bit kinky; the characters are determined, dynamic and charismatic.
ROLL OVER HALLOWEEN… THE NOVELLAWORM CHRISTMAS ERA HAS ARRIVED!
And Ella Jade, darling… YOU HAD ME AT DADDY IN A DESIGNER SANTA SUIT.
🎄 The Silver Fox’s Naughty List by Ella Jade 🔥 Age Gap | Silver Fox | He Falls First | Daddy Vibes 🎅🏻 Hallmark vibes with Ella Jade HEAT!
A grumpy billionaire real estate tycoon? ✔️ A sunshine innkeeper with a family business to save? ✔️ An inexperienced FMC and a silver fox who could make Santa blush? OH, ABSOLUTELY!
Ivy thinks she’s having a little festive one-night stand to forget her troubles. Huxley thinks he’s got a business deal to close.
Neither of them planned on catching feelings… and certainly not for the person standing on the OTHER side of that property negotiation!
Honestly, the festive CHEEK of it all!
This was quick, easy, ridiculously entertaining and SO BLOODY UP MY STREET! I devoured it in an afternoon, and yes, Ella Jade, you can tick those boxes because apparently my Christmas wish list now includes a grumpy billionaire with Daddy vibes.
I loved Huxley and Ivy together. Their chemistry was instant, the spice was SPICING, and beneath all the sexy shenanigans was a genuinely lovely story about two people discovering something they didn’t even realise was missing from their lives.
Add in the scheming supporting characters, the drama, the tension and the delicious battle between business ambitions and matters of the heart, and you’ve got yourself a festive romance that’s as entertaining as it is steamy.
It’s giving Hallmark Christmas movie… if Hallmark suddenly discovered age gaps, dirty thoughts and a VERY naughty silver fox.
And Huxley? Sir, you’re absolutely making the nice list… although I have several questions about your Santa suit. 👀
The verdict? A quick, spicy, feel-good Christmas romance with a swoony silver fox, a sunshine heroine and enough heat to melt the North Pole.
🎄 Christmas romance season? OPEN. 🔥 My festive reading era? ACTIVATED. 🫠 My standards for Santa? Unreasonably high.
Ella Jade, I hope you’re proud of yourself. My Kindle is about to become VERY festive indeed!
"She was probably in middle school when I started worrying about my cholesterol." (I LOVED this quote)
This love story between a self-sufficient girl who needed to keep her business afloat and a really hot silver fox in a red suit was just what I needed to kick off the Christmas season.
Ivy decided to give herself a break and have a one-night stand with the hot silver fox she met at a holiday gala. Silver would be a great distraction. Besides, she wouldn't see him again after that night, right?
Huxley didn't need to attend his sister's gala, but he couldn't say no to her. Thankfully, because that's where he met a beautiful girl in a green dress. After talking to her, he proposed they spend a great night together.
I LOVED this book! Also, the fact that Wander is on the cover made this book even hotter.
Love the main characters, Huxley and Ivy. Their spark is immediate and their attraction is special. They give each qualities of life that they didn't have or didn't know they needed. The way their relationship develops is realistic in spite of the speed in which their desires in the bedroom extend well beyond.
The supporting characters add quite a bit of drama and tension for Huxley and Ivy. As the reader, I could see the manipulations and disingenuous nature of these characters that give the story a more complex dynamic that is anxiously entertaining.
The writing is incredible and the book is a very sexy Christmas romance that I devoured in one day.

I read this book in one day. I could not put it down. It had elements of a sexy male character, an independent but inexperienced woman, and an age gap romance. I would highly recommend it if looking for a quick, steamy holiday book.
