Mr. Naughty List is a steamy Christmas MM romance set in the Home for the Holidays series that began with Mr. Frosty Pants, but can be read as a standalone.

Ohhhhh, so steamy and sweet. There’s the hint of being forbidden since RJ was Aaron’s student about five years before they meet again, and I dig the role reversal in that RJ is the dominant partner. Along with delicious spanking and mild D/s, there’s meaty family drama and holiday feels. I loved how RJ and Aaron’s sexual connection blossomed into romance. It’s great to see Casey and Joel from Mr. Frosty Pants again, but this book definitely stands alone. The unique Knoxville setting is vividly brought to life, and I look forward to more books in this series! I edited this book and am biased, but I genuinely did love it. 🙂
When Leta posted about this book, I knew it would be one of my favorite book this holiday season. She did not disappoint!!! Seriously this book was WOW, it was deliciously hot, sexy rocker and nerdy teacher, crazy family, fun, and we can’t go without some angst. My heart broke for Aaron, to have such a cruel mother, but just a hint Aaron grows some brass balls, I was so proud of him!!!! RJ grew up thinking love didn’t last, his dad left them twice, leaving his mom to work all the time, life was a struggle. Now being home with his mom, her new husband and kids has changed him in a good way, sometimes you just need to trust!
These guys have so much against them making it happen! Love hasn’t been kind to either one, family struggles, life struggles but sometimes miracles of the season change everything and one person can give you the love you never thought you would find!!
This book deserves stars, stars and more stars!!! It’s a perfect second book in the Home for the Holidays series, stand-alone but definitely get the first one too!! Leta Blake can write some of the best stories!!!
Santa’s Naughty list (an audio review)
Those who know me, know that I’m not a huge Christmas fan. That being said, a good book centering around the holidays will bring me a bit of cheer and this was that book. I’m a fan of Leta Blake and so was looking forward to this book and I wasn’t disappointed.
Aaron is lonely. He does random hookups with guys passing through Knoxville, but he keeps those dalliances secret. He’s a teacher who was caught with his pants down with the wrong person. That man wasn’t censured, but Aaron was. The only job he could get after that is one that brings him a measure of satisfaction, but he’s always watching his back. He loves teaching, but he also yearns to be able to be honest about who he is. But he can’t, so in the closet he stays.
R.J. finished high school and lit out of town. He had a rough go of it and being part of rock bands and touring the world has brought him minor celebrity, a bit of cash, and a whole lot of loneliness. When he spots his former composition teacher, he seizes the opportunity for some fun. Mr. Aaron Danvers featured in some of his more intense fantasies as a young man and now he’s presented with the opportunity to act out some of those. He’s also home for Christmas and has the opportunity to reconnect with his mother and her new family. It hurts that she’s so much more present for his younger half-siblings, but he’s mature enough to understand she did the best she could when he was growing up.
So the two men hook up. And man is it hot. I always love a little BDSM with my romance and this book delivers. BDSM lite. I also love when the standard dynamics of older physically dominant man and younger submissive slighter man. This book tosses out the old tropes and gives me something different and I loved that.
There are plenty of family dynamics on both sides so there’s lots to keep the story going. The question was how could they continue their relationship after the holidays ended and RJ goes back on tour? Well, that’s an answer for that question as well.
I also enjoyed the humor including the inappropriate cat and the general fun. This was a light-hearted book that touched several dark topics including previous abuse and parental alienation.
So overall a great book. I’m going to have to go back and read the first book in the series, even if it is unrelated.
Quick note on the narration of John Solo. I think he suits the material and did a great job. A great pairing just in time for the holidays. Enjoy.
Former teacher/student, with light D/s dynamics featuring a younger Dom/older sub. OMG this one is smoking hot.
I love me some holiday-themed MM romances, and this one hit all the marks. It’s hot as hell with some kink thrown in, sweet when it has to be, and has an awesome happy end. All the Christmas feels!
I really loved everything about this book: the well written characters, their story, the steamy and oh-so-hot-as-hell sex between the MCs. Leta has a unique way with words, and in this story is no different. Aaron and RJ are perfect together; they fill each others needs , and that goes beyond the sex. I really enjoyed the way the author conducted their battles, and how they handled all that came from it. This book has it all: tender and loving moments, followed by a good spanking – like all bad boys deserve. I highly recommend this book if you are in a mood for a good story, great characters and a a sexy Santa and his bad Elf. And just in case I haven’t mentioned. The sex. OMG the sex is THAT hot. My kindle almost melted with this book…..
4.5 Stars!
This is book 2 in the Home for the Holidays series, although it can be perfectly read as a standalone. There are some cameos from the MCs in book 1, and I’m intrigued, so I’ll go and read that one soon, too.
I liked Aaron, although he was so difficult sometimes, especially in regards to his mother that I wanted to shake some sense into him. He had so many mommy issues, and so much misplaced guilt, that I was really glad he finally found the courage to stand up to her. RJ was definitely my favorite, yes, he had some issues, too, but it was cute to see him with Aaron. He could dole up some serious punishments and give Aaron everything he craved for and yet, there was this core of vulnerability in him, this awe at being able to be with Aaron like this and reenact his teenage fantasies and make them into a reality. He pushed Aaron just enough to make him realize what he was missing and kept pushing him until Aaron had to acknowledge them and just give them a chance into being more.
I hated Aaron’s mom with the fire of a thousand suns and I was glad this particular issue was dealt like it did, it was more believable for me. And I really liked both RJ’s family, his band and the rest of Aaron’s and his BFF.
The D/s was well done and not over the top, with hotter than hot sex scenes, fun, sweet, angsty, with amazing writing and a great storyline with an awesome, heartwarming ending, which just made for a fantastic Christmas read all-around. Definitely recommendable!

Are you on Santa’s naughty list? Aaron certainly hopes so!!!
Mr Naughty List is a steamy teacher/former student, older sub/younger Dom sexy read. It’s perfect if you like a bit of kink and in the mood for some Christmas reading.
It is a well written, low angst story with characters that pull you in from the very first chapter. The chemistry between the MCs was off the charts. Both characters had their own personal issues to overcome and this made their fight towards their HEA even more satisfying.
It is set in the same town as Mr Frosty Pants with cameo appearances from Casey and Joel.
Although Mr Naughty List is book 2 in Leta Blake’s Home for the Holiday series, it can be read as a standalone!
I don’t think I’ve ever read a story so sweet and yet so kinky all at once, this is a perfect holiday romance for readers who are feeling a bit naughty themselves. Oh, the delicious fun we have living vicariously through fictional characters! The angst and the excitement that builds between Aaron and RJ when they meet (again) was an absolute pleasure to read!
I loved the role reversal and power exchange between Aaron and RJ, the slight hint of the forbidden and the playful yet sizzling roleplaying with “Santa’s” Naughty List. The sexual chemistry between Aaron and RJ was off the charts hot!
This story also brilliantly illustrates the strong bond between children and their parents, both from a positive and detrimental perspective, depending on the parent in this case. I loved the storyline revolving around RJ’s family and Aaron’s family on his father’s side, those scenes were incredibly heartwarming. Aaron’s mom on the other hand was absolutely horrid.
An amazing opposites-attract story that’ll give you all the feels!
Hot, steamy and yummy! There is so much to love about Mr. Naughty List. There is the slight forbidden element of former student/teacher, the kink play and some delicious sexy moments.
The chemistry between RJ and Aaron sparks right from the start. Their connection is immediate. The dynamics between these two is captivating.
I love that the slightly younger RJ is the more experienced and dominant partner. Aaron has been slighted, neglected and alone for so long that he is unsure if he deserves this happiness. Watching these two evolve from a one night stand to that heartwarming epilogue was perfection.
Though the characters from Mr. Frosty Pants make a brief appearance, you can totally read Mr. Naughty List as a standalone. Sweet, sexy, and captivating, this story of self-discovery doesn’t take itself too seriously. Still, there are a couple of tense moments, and I’ve rarely wanted to punch a character the way I’d like to punch Aaron’s mom, but overall this is a fun holiday read. *I received an arc of this book.*
This kinky Christmas short story delivered! I’m not much of a “Christmas” person but this book had me believing in the power of it and that anything is possible.
Aaron needs a let loose fling even if it’s just for one night!
Cue … former student RJ ready and willing to blow Aaron’s mind!
The more time they spent together the more feelings grow.
I could have done with a bit less of Aaron’s mother (there’s a special place in hell for people like her) but even so, I really enjoyed this story!

Although I don’t usually read BDSM, this book took me by surprise. The roles were reversed, where Aaron, the teacher is the submissive and RJ, the student is dominant. It’s a bit of an angsty story, especially because of Aaron’s previous experience and his hesitation about getting involved with a former student. But you can’t help but like both Aaron and RJ and you can see why they belong together. A great read!!
This is an AMAZING naughty Christmas romance. Aaron is looking for a hook up. The uptight teacher needs to get his spank on. RJ is a touring guitarist who hasn’t been home in years. Seeing his spank banks biggest star in the audience is a dream come true. I loved this couple and this Book!! This is a Hot, Fun, Naughty Christmas fling that makes their naughty dreams come true. Lots of furniture was involved. I thought this was a wonderful Book to get me in the holiday feelings. These characters are ones you can’t help but fall in love with. It also has a great EPILOGUE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOLIDAY ROMANCE!!!!!!!!
Me: *expecting a sweet and lightly kinky read*
This book: oh, just you wait.
This was such a surprise! But in the best way possible.
RJ had Aaron as a teacher during his senior year of high school, and he always had a crush on him. Fast forward 5 years, he’s finds himself performing at a bar and running into his former teacher. RJ is ecstatic to finally have the chance to seduce his former teacher.
I thought the way RJ and Aaron ‘s relationship beveloped was really natural. Their fears and insecurties were so authentic. And there was so much more than just the romantic relationship between Aaron and RJ. I really liked RJ’s family drama and I hated that Aaron was suffering so much when it came to his relationship with his mom.
I haven’t read the first book in the series, and that in no way affected my enjoyment of this one!
Aaron has been so afraid for so long. RJ is bold. I love how the older one is the sub and the one that needs help and comfort. But even more is how good RJ is for Aaron and helps Aaron be a better version of himself.
Wow
This was rough but so sweet, I loved it
JR and Aaron’s story has a bit of taboo feelings but it’s not in reality, it’s just the author’s writing that’s making it feel hotly taboo.
I felt that the author managed to describe Aaron and his need to give over control to JR and how JR is capable of seeing this need in him.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Lots of good dialogues
Well described characters that’s developed in to realistic personalities
Secondary characters made this even better
This is the second book from this author and I enjoy them very much. If you like some BDMS and a sweet mm love story I recommend you read
5 stars
We meet RJ in Mr. Frosty Pants and the idea of Aaron (Mr. Danvers) arises as a fond memory for RJ however the actual story of RJ and Aaron is super hot. This was an incredibly steamy romance between a submissive and sweet Aaron and a take control but go with the flow RJ. This holiday fling turned into an everlasting love that was sweet, hot and heartwarming.
Can a teacher find love in the arms of his former student?
What a great Christmas magic story! A Naughty elf, a dominant Santa, mini age-gap, former student- teacher trope, a feisty cat, family angst, an epiphany, BDSM, submission, trust, love, and HEA . What’s not to love!
Although this is a longer book, it reads quickly. I did not want to put it down. The characters drew me in to their lives. I really cared about them. You will too.
This is RJ and Aaron’s story. Aaron Danvers is a teacher. Not hiding his gayness in his personal life. His professional life is another story. He is a natural submissive in need of a Dom to give him the pain/ pleasure he needs. He never expects to be attracted to the lead singer/ guitarist in the band. And when he realizes he’s his former student… wow! RJ had had a crush on Mr. Danvers since senior year of high school. Seeing him in the audience rekindles his crush. But RJ doesn’t believe love can last. Can he be the dom Aaron needs? You will cheer for them as they overcome long held stigmas about student- teacher relations, even former ones only for years younger. Luckily for them both, they have understanding, loving families. With one exception.
Watch as a Christmas fling becomes forever. See Santa handle an elf on his Naughty List. You will laugh, cry, ache for them, hope with them. You will love this book!
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex, and is intended for mature readers only.
Mr. Naughty List by author Leta Black is the second book in the Home for the Holidays series. Though the second book in the series I did not read the previous book and was not lost at all reading this book. I loved the pacing of this book. Has an intensity that makes me want to read more. I love the character connection.
Aaron is out and proud. He is at a little pub type place and he sees a band. The lead singer is turning him on. Then he figures out that he is a former student of his. He is scared to have a relationship with someone so much younger and a former student. But he feels the pull of attraction.
RJ is brave and he is willing to take a chance. He unlocks something in Aaron. He knows Aaron is worth taking a chance on.
I loved these two together. They have what the other needs in life and a relationship. This is the perfect blend of soft and rough I loved the d/s part brought the right spice to this book. I would love to read more in this series in the future and see who falls in love next.
