✍🏻 Professor Romance’s Review: L.B. Dunbar’s Naughty-ish ✍🏻

Overall Grade: B

Tropes: next door neighbor; single mom; divorcee; small-town romance; Christmas romance

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of Christmas romances. I will only read the Christmas romances of my favorite authors, L.B. Dunbar being one of them. And her Naughty-ish did not disappoint. Given her background as an English teacher, Dunbar’s intentionality in providing a meaningful structure to her stories impresses me. For this story, she organizes her FMC’s story around statements: “be youthful,” “be present,” and “be the future you want,” all admonishments illustrated through the growth of Holliday, the FMC. As she takes steps to live that out in her life, we, the reader, can ponder how we can do the same in our own. While it might feel prescriptive, I think we could consider it inspiring.

As she usually does, Dunbar gifts us with an older FMC and MMC (Holliday and Nick). Next door neighbors, these two fall fast and hard for each other, even though it takes each of them a bit to accept it. There is a nice blend of spicy romance with the sweetness of a holiday one, and Dunbar’s finished product is one that will put a smile on your face. L.B. Dunbar’s Naughy-ish is a romance meant not only to entertain but to also encourage. At this time of year, it’s everything you need in a Christmas romance.

In love and romance,

Professor A

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

Enter Nick, my next-door neighbor. My very hot, single, fireman neighbor. He’s full of the seasonal spirit from hanging my outdoor Christmas lights to playing Santa for the local church breakfast.

Funny thing about Nick, he kind of resembles the man in red, in a younger, sexier, silver fox way, complete with snow in his beard but rather tight abs suggesting cookies are not part of his diet when they are a staple of mine.

Anywho, he’s sweet in a rugged sense, and if he were the man making a list and checking it twice, I’d like to be in his naughty column. Because something tells me being a little naughty-ish with Nick from next door might bring me tidings of comfort and restore my joy in this season.

When he discovers I have a seasonal list myself, he’s determined to help me accomplish all the to-dos, only falling in love with my next-door neighbor wasn’t one of them.
