Wow, please let me give this book more then 5 stars. I honestly think this is my favorite book so far. I was hooked from the very beginning. I had this book read in one sitting! My heart hurt so bad for these two. I Found myself in more then one part with tears in my eyes. I honestly loved Natalie and Sam. I loved that Sam was so protective of Natalie. The part at the bar had me cheering on Sam even more. I learned some new things about Dr. Aiden Steadman, that made me love and hurt for him also. One night makes Sam realize how much he has to loose. This is a short sweet and sexy read. Sarah Castille has climbed way up there on my list of favorite authors. This is a must read, all these books are.
THIS WAS DELICIOUS! Every single thing that always put me on #TeamSarah is on these pages!
From the moment I read the first few paragraphs, I knew this story was going to make me feel. Once again, the author has taken a crossroads moment in a couple and turned it into a deliciously sexy interlude that will have your heart soaring! There’s no doubt about it, you will want more for sure. At least I did. But you won’t need more 🙂
Sam and Natalie stole my heart! GAH, I can’t even tell you how much. There are some deep-rooted issues behind the crossroads that Natalie and Sam find themselves in and one would think it would take a full-length novel to truly appreciate the hurdle these two managed to get over but this author is very good at what she does and she managed to do it perfectly in this short!

Love these shorts. I especially love them because they are understandable and relate-able. It’s nice to read a book where the character’s are in their late 30’s and not right out of high school or college. It’s also nice to read about those little struggles that marriages have and that they ARE fixable, no matter how difficult or far away the fix seems. Looking forward to more shorts, possibly a short for Aiden.
Natalie is having a difficult day. Not only does she have a dental problem, she’s remembering the son she lost years ago. Not only did she lose her son, but she lost her husband in the process. Sam has let himself get consumed with work and they’ve both let the spark die out in their marriage.
Of course, Natalie sees Dr. Steadman, the gorgeous, sexy and kinky dentist in town. When he reveals to Natalie that they share something in common, she agrees to a drink at the local pub. Sam isn’t all that happy to find out where his wife is, but it shocks him into doing something and he’s going to get his wife back.
Things are tense at first, with Natalie unsure of what Sam is doing. But Sam is determined to let Natalie know that he still loves her.
I really enjoy these sexy little stories of couples putting the spark back in to their married life. With a little push from the dear dentist, Sam realizes just what he has to lose. I did like that they talked (a little) before they rekindled their physical attraction. Natalie was really great about that. I liked this story and I think it is one that many couples can relate to. It’s steamy too!
Looking forward to more of these shorts. Dare I hope that Dr. Steadman gets an HEA!

This one was by far my favorite of this series to date. I actually would have loved to have seen this story be even more fleshed out and longer. It had all the bones for being an excellent full-length book in my opinion. My heart broke for Sam and Natalie and all they have been through. I can’t imagine losing a child at such a young age. The author did a fantastic job of capturing all the pain and regret these two had. I spent a good portion of this book with tears in my eyes. Another thing I liked about this one was that the kinky dentist doesn’t play a sexual role regarding this couple. He is just the catalyst that gets this couple back on track. In fact, the entire bar scene had me chuckling. The writing was also a little more cohesive in this one than the prior book, but the sex in this one was milder than the previous two. Still, that fit with the story, so I wasn’t bothered by it. I thought this was going to be the final book in the NAUGHTY SHORTS series, but there seems to be another one coming featuring a biker and a second chance, and I am looking forward to reading it.
The third novella in this series, but it can be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the previous books and didn’t miss a thing. This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last. i really enjoy her style of writing and I love it when an author is able to make a novella feel like a big book.
A lot happens in the space of a few hours. Sam and Natalie have been drifting apart after the death of their son. Then one day everything changes, will they make it?
It is a story filled with heartbreak, sadness, loneliness, but also love and hope. It a beautiful well written emotional story
Natalie and Sam have been slowly drifting apart after the death of the young son, loosing a child is a painful experience and when one parent puts up a wall and doesn’t want to talk about it or think about it, well you can guess the wedge it would cause in a marriage. Please don’t think that they don’t love one another because they do and this story is about them finding their way back to the couple they once were and becoming a stronger and more loving couple.
The small town Dentist, Dr. Aiden Steadman, has his hands in the reconnection of this couple as well as the past two in the series. Aiden is a man of many talents, being a dentist is just one of them, I think he should get major props for bringing back the passion that was lost in some marriages and giving them a second chance worth fighting for.
This series of naughty short can each be read as a standalone but I would suggest you reading them in order that way you can get to know each of the couples and see the way the town dentist helps them get things back on track. I would recommend this series to anyone that enjoys a quick read with lots of steam and an established couple finding their way back to one another. Happy Reading!
I am enjoying the Naughty Shorts series by Sarah Castille. The shorts have been sexy stories, but the stories are also about couples looking to rediscover or rekindle something they have lost. So even if they are sexy and steamy, they are also sweet and engaging. In Naughty Secrets a husband fights to win his wife back.
Sam and Natalie are my favorite couple so far. They have been together a long time, but a tragedy has driven them apart and their marriage is crumbling. The love is still there, they just lost their way. When Sam finds out Natalie is spending time at a local bar with our favorite dentist and he is determined to get her back.
This one was more emotional than the others, but just as captivating. I loved how strong they felt for each other, even when they were hurting and lost. Naughty Secrets is by far my favorite in this series so far and I cannot wait to read more!
4.5 stars. Read and reviewed Sultry Siren Book Blog.
Happy reading.
The more I read Sarah Castille’s Naughty Short stories, the more I fall for her characters. Naughty Secrets gives you what you need in a Novel, but in 14 chapters. You get the drama where a failing relationship seems it is at the end. You get the tears for the loss Sam and Natalie go through physically and mentally. You still get the Hot Dentist – Dr. Aiden that adds a little bit of spice and heat to jump any relationship.
The sexiness factor will WOW you! I am hooked on these stories. Nat and Sam have so much baggage that they put their passion on the back burner. Can they become the fiery couple that they once were? Will Dr. Aiden find true love for himself? Only time will tell!
***4 Stars***
When I read the tease of this book in Naughty Wishes I couldn’t wait to find out more about Natalie and Sam and what it would take for them to find their way back to each other and it was all kinds of gut wrenching and frustrating ~ and smexy as all get out ~ but so worth it in the end,
This one was all kinds of heartbreaking, as well as frustrating, because Natalie and Sam were so entrenched in their own inner conversations with themselves that it caused a huge rift in their relationship and I wanted to reach out and smack some much needed sense into them. Thankfully that was taken cared of in a most interesting, yet simple, way and I liked how they finally connected again.
In this one we get to know the good dentist, Aiden, a little more and I’m still on the fence on if he should get his own book/HEA or if he should remain the single hottie Dom until the bitter end, but I shall trust in the author to do what she feels is best. As for the tease of the next story in the series? I’m definitely looking forward to that one!
