Nauti Dreams (The Nauti Trilogy, Book 3)

A definite great read, from start to finish. (This is the third book.) While parts are definitely steamy, and that's a great reason to read this book, the story is so facinating, it kept me turning the pages, wanting to know more. I can't wait for more of these books!! A high recommend, along with Husband Swap and Roughing It: Two Dirty Stories.

Estranged would be a kind word for Natches Mackay's relationship with his father. Having recognized the evil in Dayle Mackay years ago, he has distanced himself from him wherever possible.

Dayle's suspected involvement with the theft of government missiles makes that a little difficult, especially when Chayla, the one woman who Natches has never forgotten, is the agent assigned to investigate Dayle and his cronies.

Now Natches and Chaya must work together to bring the would-be terrorists to justice while dealing with their own past together and a passion that proves harder to defuse than those missing missiles.

Those of us who are fans of Lora Leigh's NAUTI BOYS books have been waiting for Natches' story with great anticipation. Natches is that irresistible bad boy who broods more than either of his two cousins, and has secrets he shares with no one. He's the kind of hero that makes you want to be the woman he can turn to when the going gets rough.

Readers will be glad to know that those secrets are all revealed in NAUTI DREAMS. Both his familial relationships and his history with true love Chaya play a big part in the drama surrounding his hometown and loved ones. He must deal with all of his unresolved issues before he can bring the villains down.

As much as Natches prefers to keep his pain close to the vest, this noble man sacrifices all in order to do what is right. He'll give up anything in order to protect the people he loves, even from his own father.

Chaya is absolutely perfect for Natches. She goes toe to toe with him on more than one occasion, challenging him in ways that push him to his limits - often with some pretty tempestuous results. In a good way, of course. *grin*

But she is dealing with her own issues as well. The traumas Chaya has suffered would break most people, but have given her a backbone of steel, and an unwavering purpose in her mission to take down the terrorists who once destroyed her life and now her country.

NAUTI DREAMS has everything - action-adventure, suspense, drama, romance and some wickedly hot love scenes. Lora Leigh once again outdoes herself with a story that is bound to fly off the bookshelves as soon as it releases!

Third times the charm -- gripping and suspenseful, NAUTI DREAMS will make even the most jaded of readers sigh at this compelling love story! Don't miss Lora Leigh's third installment of her Nauti series featuring Natches Mackay and Chaya Dane, the woman who captivates him.

Years ago, bad boy Natches Mackay lost his heart in the Iraqi desert. On a rescue and retrieve mission, Natches came face to face with Chaya Dane, a woman who held secrets that her captors wanted. Secrets she refused to reveal. After instantly losing his heart to the courageous woman, Natches was dismayed to discover that with the light of dawn she had slipped right through his fingers and out of his life. Now, years later, Chaya is back. While her presence in the ex-marine's hometown investigating a prior mission seems innocent enough, Natches knows better. In his mind, it is only a matter of time before Chaya is once again in his life - where he plans to keep her forever.

In that stolen moment of time, Chaya Dane lost her heart in the Iraqi desert. Flooded with the type of pain almost impossible for the human soul to bear, Chaya turned to the man that rescued her from certain death. For one brief moment Natches was the comfort she so desperately needed. Though time has passed, Chaya is certain that her day of reckoning has come when she returns to Natches' hometown to investigate illegal activities. Scared of her enduring feelings for the naughty Natches, Chaya fights him every step of the way. Or at least she tries to, but Natches is determined to hold onto her this time - or die trying.

Natches and Chaya agree to work together to unearth the criminal element that has taken a foothold in his town. All inquiries lead to one person - and that person hates Natches Mackay and is willing to do anything to make Natches' life not worth living.

I have been anticipating Natches' story, NAUTI DREAMS, ever since he made his presence known in NAUTI BOY, Rowdy's story. I fell in love with his quick smile and his wicked personality and I found myself mesmerized by his veiled vulnerability. Deep down Natches ached. He ached for Chaya, the one woman that made him whole. Refusing to let her build walls between them, Natches single handedly turned the tables on every defense mechanism Chaya had and turned her reluctance and fears into the love of a lifetime. From his naughty good looks to his sensuous ability to make even a lady of the evening blush, Natches Mackay lives up to his name. He is quite simply a naughty dream of a man and Chaya is one lucky woman.

Lora Leigh lived up to her reputation as the `Mistress of Seduction' because NAUTI DREAMS was so hot that one match would have been enough to make me erupt into flames. Romance played a huge part in NAUTI DREAMS and I found myself in awe at how romantic, yet forceful, Natches was. Nothing was going to deter this Mackay from his mission and when the smoke cleared Chaya was well and truly caught - Natches Mackay style.

My favorite Nauti installment to date, NAUTI DREAMS is powerful and compelling. I have yet to fall out of love with Natches; however, the next installment of this great series, NAUTI INTENTIONS, just might give Natches a run for his money. It is the story of Alex Jansen and Janey Mackay and promises to be just as naughty as the rest! ***Natasha Smith for Romance Junkies***
