Naughty But Nice is the third book in author Donna Kauffman’s Hamilton Christmas series. This story is set in the small town of Hamilton, Virginia. We first meet heroine Melody Duncastle catching a stranger behind the counter of her Cups and Cupcakes Bakery store helping himself to a cup of coffee while she is in the back room. The stranger turns out to be our hero, Griffin Gallagher, heir to Hamilton Industries.. He is in town to “revitalize” it. Melody wants no parts of this. She likes her town just the way it is, thank you. She takes Griffin’s cup of coffee away from him and boots him out of her shop. Man, he really needed that infusion of caffeine.
I mentioned that Melody is the heroione in this story and Griffin the hero. Obviously Melody’s animosity towards Griffin doesn’t last. Can’t beat that overwhelming chemistry.
As the relationship between Melody and Griffin progresses we learn why Griffin is in town to transform it. We also learn important background in Griffin’s life that explains how he became the man he is. He really is a good guy. Melody reveals much of herself to Griffin too and together they become a strong loving couple.
