Review: Naughty Girls Do – Jodi Redford

Lexie Winters is on a mission—to lose her good girl image and tempt resident bad boy, Ash Bodry, into her bed. Tired of being treated like his kid sister, it’s past time for her to play dirty. She has her work cut out for her though when it comes to the sinfully sexy yet incredibly frustrating man.

As far as Ash is concerned, Lexie is strictly off limits. Not only are they friends, her dad just happens to be the sheriff, and years ago the man steered Ash away from a life of crime. No way is he repaying that favor by giving into his wicked fantasies of Lexie. But when the little vixen strolls into his tattoo parlor and requests a very naughty piercing, Ash’s honorable intentions are tested to their limits.

Now that Lexie’s hammered the first chink in Ash’s defenses, and he’s sweating bullets, there’s no chance in hell she’s settling for his hands off policy. Even if it means some flirty strip tease action and late night skinny dipping to convince him that this newfound naughty girl will do whatever it takes to get her man.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

What’s a good girl to do when the man she loves sees her only as a friend? Why hatch a half-baked, slightly immature plan that actually works, of course. Lexi has been in love with Ash since she first set eyes on him when she was 15 years old and 12 years have not made a difference in her feelings for him. Unfortunately for her, Ash has always been kind and friendly towards her… emphasis on friendly. He’s never looked at her as anything other than a friend. However, that’s about to change if Lexi has anything to do with it.

I found this to be an incredibly sweet story and great if you are looking for a quick, non-complicated novella. My only issue of contention is Lexi’s behavior. She seems very manipulative. He won’t approach her at the bar, so she dances with his friend… he won’t go with her to a secluded beach alone with her, so she threatens to go hunting for bears by herself. Her behavior was more reminiscent of a 17 year old, not a 27 year old. That being said, their romance was actually tugs at the heartstrings. Who doesn’t remember falling in love at such a tender age and still remember those feelings fondly decades later?

I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quick, sweet read with just a bit of naughtiness tossed in for good measure
