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.

This is a short story by Sarah Castille. Chris and Lily have been married for years. Suddenly Chris has become distant and sort of cold when he was laid off from his job. Lily was at work one day at the post office when her dentist came in to pick up some packages. He turned to her, gave her one of the packages and told her to open the package in front of and with Chris. With Chris and Lily not being on the same page of late, their dentist decides to help this couple find their way back to each other by encouraging them to find their deepest desires and to unleash them. This is a short yet sexy story. I enjoyed this delicious, naughty dentist who loves to stir up trouble of the best kind. I cant wait to see what will happen next in this new series.

Let me just say that this blurb had catch my attention because I love a second chance story so much and this book looked like that. But there's only one way to find out, and that's reading so I wasted no time in doing so.
Sarah Castille is a new author to me and I really loved what I've read. Her writing is hot and sassy, fill of love and desire and so much more in between.
Naughty Desires is her latest release and tells the stories of Lily and Chis.
They have been married for 15 years but the last year was difficult. Chris was getting detached and Lily was hurting because she wanted her hubby back. But how can you have someone when he's lost? How can he keep loving her when he can't love himself?
Fantastic book. The plot is amazing, very well written, super engaging and powerful. The story progressed smoothly and quickly and I loved every minute of it.
This book focus on the love of two people that want a second chance. A second chance to fight for each other and win.
It was a short story but very powerful.
Oh Sarah... This book is amazing and I can't get enough of it. I can't wait for what's about to come.

Naughty Desires by Sarah Castille was a quick and sexy story full of heart and part of her new Naughty Shorts series. In this story, we get a second chance romance for a married couple who lost their way.

Lily and Chris have been together for fifteen years and have been happy. For them it was love from the start. But when Chris is laid off, he begins to feel like a failure in many ways and it affects his marriage. Lily wants nothing more than to reconnect with her husband but has not been able to reach him in the same way. When a friend surprises them with an unexpected package, can it be just what they needed?

This was a quick story with a lot of naughty times, a bit of angst and an ending that will give you all the right feels! I am excited to read more these naughty shorts and more from this author!

Delicious! That's how I would describe this novella! Certainly dirty and fun, with an emotional connection and a purpose in Chris and Lily's marriage that is not as it should be at this time.
I truly enjoyed it..getting lost in the fantasy and in their love.
Can't wait for more!

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.”

**happy sigh**

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.

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!

If you are looking for a smokin hot story about rediscovering your marriage in the naughtiest way possible, then this is the book for you. This is a short, quick read full of kink, love and second chances.
I loved the writing style that made it easy to read and I would love to know more about Aiden...
Chris and Lily have had a difficult year in their marriage and have left each other feeling more lonely by the day. They get help from the most unexpected place and nothing is the same from then. But will they be able to find more than their sexual connection??
If you are looking for a quick read to pass time and leave you wanting, then this is the book for you!

Short story that I was able to finish in about an hour. It was a good story and entertaining, featuring a couple who’ve been married for 15 years and have grown apart in the past year when Chris gets laid off from his corporate finance job and Lily has to get a second job waitressing (in addition to working at the post office). The gist of the conflict is that Chris feels like less of a man b/c he can’t provide financially for his wife and despite getting a job in the construction industry (which, by the way, he loves) he still feels like he’s not man enough for her anymore. This conflict of course couldn’t be talked about logically between a couple who have been together for many years, no, it had to get to the point where they were practically ready to divorce to start trying to solve this. The story had some hot role play and a quick HEA. Overall, good for a short story.

Battle for love lost

Will their love prevail? Lily and Chris have lots of things going on in their marriage. Rejection and failure. But with a little push from a unsuspecting person, you need to read it to see who that is. It puts them on the right track. This is a short good read, but worth reading.

I'm new to Sarah Castille's work, but I must say that I really enjoyed Naughty Desires. Sometimes you just need a dirty, little story and that's exactly what this one is. The writing flowed easily was well-written.

Lily and Chris were normal characters that were dealing with life situations that had taken its toll on their relationship in the bedroom. While Lily still had her focus on Chris, he needed a little something to shake him up, to make him realize the good thing that he had with his wife. What they were experiencing was relate-able and certainly something that many couples go through. I have to say that the dentist really did crack me up. Without giving any spoilers, there's no way in real life he could've pulled off what he did, but it added a cute twist to the story. Unless of course he was a real risk-taker but I don't see that from someone in that sort of professional position. Still, it added humor and made this story fun.

Though a fairly quick read, it's just enough to put a smile on your face and put you in the mood. It's, without a doubt, smexy, and I think the author did a great job keeping me interested.

This was a super hot short story with everything you need to make you take a cold shower or find your significant other to see where it takes you.

Chris and Lily are trying to keep their marriage going but he has pulled away , but when she gets a package from her dentist and he tells her to open it with Chris  she is in for a very fun time.
They decide to use what is gifted to them and finds just how dominant Chris can be but is it enough to save their marriage.

Descriptive but wordy to be a short story.

Rekindling of hubby and wifey who have lost their marriage sizzle for a year when hubby was laid off from work and took it unmanly. Thus, marriage went at stake.

A dom dentist tried to help them by gifting kinky stuff that led the hubby and wifey into series of role plays.

Alas, HEA for the couple again.

REVIEW: 3.75 stars--NAUGHTY DESIRES is the first instalment in Sarah Castille’s contemporary, adult Naughty Shorts erotic romance series of novellas and short stories.


Told from dual first person perspectives (Chris and Lily) NAUGHTY DESIRES focuses on married couple Lily and Chris Taylor,and the gradual breakdown of their marriage. One year earlier Chris Taylor lost his job, and in the ensuing time the emotional fall-out has affected his relationship with the woman he loves. When the sexy Dr. Aiden Steadman, DDS offers Lily a surprise gift, our heroine hopes to revive her marriage with the contents within. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Lily and Chris, and the potential fall-out as past demons continue to haunt our story line hero.

NAUGHTY DESIRES is a quick, erotic read; a short story of one man’s failure to see beyond the past, and one woman’s struggle to save the marriage and the man she continues to love. The premise is steamy, naughty and hot; the romance is a rekindling relationship; the characters struggle in the face of past demons and the fragile male ego.

I truly enjoyed reading this short story by Sarah Castille. She takes a new direction and bringing more of the real in some relationships. Naughty Desires started and I was not sure in which direction our heroine would take. Will she stay home or decided to take on a new adventure in life. She has been a prisoner to loneliness for over a year and there is so much a woman, a wife can do. Is it too late to restore her marriage with Chris?

As we meet Chris, off the bat, I was calling him all sorts of names and cursing like a sailor. My heart felt for Lily and was not sure what we stepped into. Was this a marriage of love and trust? Or is it too broken to heal. When a sexy dentist comes into the story, I knew he was deliciously trouble! What we found in the end was scorching hot and a lot of sexy. My head was screaming dayum! Where did this side of Chris come from.

Naughty Desires will bring the sexy and the very naughty. Your room will feel a little too hot while go through each page. I love that Sarah is bringing us more of these stories. I have a feeling they will be getting hotter!!!

Can their marriage be saved with kink? Their dentist lets their small town know what he is into and Chris and Aiden are great friends and Aiden gave Chris suggestions to get Chris back with his wife after a year long ‘in house’ separation, their married and living together but they don talk, touch opens Chris bearly looks at his wife anymore. He lost his job in accounting and got her brother to get him a job in construction, Chris sees himself as a failure and don’t love himself to love his wife. Lilly works two jobs and still try’s to make time to be with her husband but his nose is either on the tv or his phone and she’s feeling her abusive childhood becoming her present, her dad was mean and never loved her and she feels Chris is being the same. Until a run in with the sexy dentist and a package of things that she and Chris should figure out how to use. But will it break their year long no felling streak for will it bring unwanted memories come to the surface and pull them away from the other for good?

There comes a point in every marriage where the spark maybe isn't burning as bright as it once was. In Naughty Desires, Chris and Lily are facing this situation and they are at a critical make-it-or-brake-it point. With the help of a local Dominant, they may be able to rekindle the passion, the question is whether they are too far gone.

I really liked this. It's short, hot and sweet and just perfect for reading after work or on work breaks. The driving tensions are well-written and believable and as is the aftermath. Don't want to spoil it for you.

If you are looking for a novella sized erotic romance with likable characters searching for a second chance at romance in their marriage, this might be just the story for you! I'm looking forward to more in this series!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Lily Meyers and Chris Taylor. Lily and Chris have a world-wind romance. That leads to a marriage. However their are secrets in their marriage that threaten to tear them apart. Both of them wonder what they can do to save what is left of their marriage and get back to what drew them to each other in the first place. Will the secrets that are waiting to come out be the final breaking point or will it be a new beginning for their marriage?

This is an amazing short story. There are ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say that it will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

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.

This was a good short story. I felt bad for both Chris and Lilly throughout the book. Chris lost his job, which led him to losing his self-worth. He truly believed, even after fifteen years of marriage, that he didn't deserve her, that he shut her out. Lily couldn't believe that her marriage was ending, and she believed that she had given him enough time to open up to her and she can't wait any longer.
When the doctor in town gives Lily a box to take home, and once she sees what's inside, she hopes things will get better. Unfortunately, things don't go well and she leaves. Will Lily leaving be the wake up call Chris needs? Will Chris ever open up to Lily? Can the mysterious contents of the box help Chris and Lilly find their way back to each other?

5 Star Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review

I loved this story so very much! I'm new to Sarah Castille, but this is probably one of my favorite stories this year. I think it's because I feel like I love this story. Chris and Lilly are everything you could want in a couple that has lost their way. I understand that feeling. Trying to get back to a better place, Chris reaches out for help.

I'm not saying much more about this story! It's super short, but worth the time to read. I loved this story because again I can relate. It's hard to get back to basics once you are lost. But there is always hope. Amazing job Sarah Castille!
