I am in awe of Sarah Castille’s talent. I don’t think I have ever picked up one of her books and been disappointed. This little piece of heaven right here is on a whole other level of greatness. This story had power to it. Actually, I can’t really say it’s a story, it’s a moment in time in a relationship. A pivotal moment in time. A moment in time that I am sure many people have found themselves in. Chris and Lily are having a moment in their marriage. A moment that if not dealt with properly could break them. Not only are they having a moment as a couple, but they’re also struggling individually. Naughty Desires is about how they got their grove back 🙂 You guys …. I really think this might be her best work yet. That is all I’m going to tell you because you need to experience this little story. My heart was so full throughout the story …
“I should have listened to your heart a year ago,” he murmurs, almost to himself. “But I couldn’t hear it.”

Also … seriously … #win #SOLD
Warning: This book contains naughty costumes with ruby-red stilettos, a meddling dentist with a penchant for toys, and brown paper packages tied up with string. So basically a romance reader’s favorite things.
I wish that there was more to this book.
I loved this book! I had it read in one sitting. Once I started I couldn’t stop, I needed to know what was gonna happen between Lily and Chris. Chris and Lily have been married for years and very much in love, but when stuff gets difficult they start to drift apart. Lily works at the post office, when the local dentist gives Lily a package she damaged. Wanna know what is in the package? Wanna know about the role play? Wanna know how they save their marriage? Go get your copy of this book! This is a must read. I recommend to anyone that loves a good short story.
The first book in a new series, but each novella book can be read as a standalone.
I love it when an author is able to make a novella feel like you are reading a full length novel.
Chris and Lily have been drifting apart after Chris got laid off work. they share a house, but Lily feels more alone than ever. Will they make it?
It is a story filled with, loneliness, feelings of not being good enough, but also love and hope. I loved what they did with the items in the packages and everything after that.
It a beautiful well written emotional story

***4 Stars***
This is definitely a naughty short story and I loved it!
I mean it had it all ~ smexyness (LOTS of smexyness) a good dose of humor and heart. This may be a short, but this baby definitely packed a punch.
I really liked Lily and my heart hurt for her with all that she dealing with. She is at the end of her emotional rope and despite the chaos inside her, still loves her husband and doesn’t want to leave him. Chris…well, it was hard to like him, empathize? Yes. Like…it took a while to get there, but once he pulled his head out of his butt, the man was all kinds of goodness. Watching as they found their way back to each other definitely brought out all the feels because despite it all, they loved each other and I have to say where they are at the end is all kinds of satisfying (and HAWT!).
Naughty Desires was a very well written short story. No muss, no fuss, no extra drama going on, because it didn’t need it at all, but at the same time I felt like I had a really good handle on Lily and Chris thanks to well done flashbacks and the dual 1st person POV’s. I liked, and am definitely intrigued by the secondary characters we got to meet, though Aiden is the one I want to know A LOT better, but that tease of the next short at the end? Um…YES. PLEASE!

What a great start to a new series of short stories by Sarah Castille. This was a very hot read that you can finish in just a couple of hours. I don’t want to give anything away so this will be a short review.
Lily and Chris have been married for a few years but this year has been very hard on them. So hard that they haven’t been more than roommates that barely spoke to one another. Sad but true….luckily that’s all about to change. With the help of a kinky Dentist Chris and Lily are shown a way to spice up their life and get things back on track.
I cannot wait for the next book to come out, I am very curious as to what the kinky dentist has in store for the next couple.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
So my review for this one is going to be very short. Mostly because the book itself isn’t very long (it took me less than an hour to read). That said, it turned out to be an excellent little novella. There was a little bit of angst. There was a little bit of humor. There was a whole lot of sex (roleplaying). The characters were likable. There wasn’t any OW or OM drama, and I can’t wait to see what our resident kinky little Dentist is up to next (lol). All in all, it was a very quick, very hot, and delightful short read.
I was given a free copy of this book from the author.
If you’re looking for a quick dirty book this one is for you! Sarah Castille has written a story that some will consider naughty. It’s about a husband and wife trying to find their way back to each other after a year of distance in their marriage. There’s never anything wrong with a married couple spicing up their marriage to rebuild their intimacy.
I think you’ll enjoy this erotic short. It’ll definitely give you some food for thought where your bedroom activities are conserved with your spouse!
Chris and Lily have been married for years. But Chris grew distant when he was layed off. Lily works at a post office and her dentist comes in to pick up some packages, he gives one to Lily and tells her to open with Chris. It’s sex toys and when they start to role play, Chris stops. The next night Lily decides to surprise him with them and the sex is hot. Chris is a dominant but kept it hidden. Now he’s ready to face his insecurities and embrace his dominant side but will it be too late to save his marriage?
Great story. I am not really into stories told in first person but it was short and a page turner. Tells both Chris and Lilly’s side with bondage and role playing.
