The Naughty or Nice Deal

By: Callie Rose

Narrated by: Marie Hawkins, C.J. Grey

My billionaire boss needs a fake fiancée for Christmas. His two best friends want to unwrap me like a present…

When I try to quit my job working for three demanding CEOs, Ford Kingsley—my cheating ex’s hotter older brother—offers me a deal instead.

He needs a fake fiancée to convince a potential investor that he’s settled down, and I need money to pay off my crushing debt. Two weeks of pretending to be madly in love at his family’s estate, and we’ll both get what we want.

But being stuck in a mansion with Ford and his unfairly sexy business partners, Gabriel and Hayden, is more complicated than I bargained for. Especially since my asshole ex is there too, suddenly acting like he wants me back now that I’m “taken.”

Even worse, it’s hard to remember it’s all pretend when Ford kisses me like he means it. When Hayden finds me alone at night and tells me exactly what kind of man I deserve. When Gabriel walks in on me in a very compromising position… and decides to stay.

It might be cold outside, but the tension between me and my three ex-bosses could melt every snowflake for miles—and when they suggest sharing me for the holidays, I’m shocked by how much I want to say yes.

I’ve spent my whole life trying to be nice…

But what if this Christmas, being naughty gets me everything I’ve ever wanted?

This is a spicy holiday romance featuring three gorgeous bosses, one fake engagement, lots of sharing… and a very inappropriate use of a candy cane. It is a complete standalone!

Overall a great story

The female narrator was great! She had voices for everyone. The male narrator left a lot to be desired. He has a great rumble low voice, but he didn't try and make his 3 main characters sound different. There were a few times in the story where all 3 men were texting and it wasn't easy to tell who's texts were being read.

First My Lunch… Then My Soul MINE 💫

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5 spice – full plot-driven goodness!)

🎧 The Naughty or Nice Deal is everything I want in a standalone holiday why-choose romance — funny, flirty, and full of heat! The fake fiancée setup between Ford and the FMC hooked me fast, but being snowed in with three gorgeous CEOs? Yeah, that’s where the magic (and the spice) really starts 😏

It’s plot-driven but still deliciously steamy — the kind of tension that builds with every stolen glance and every not-so-accidental touch. The chemistry between Ford, Gabriel, and Hayden keeps you blushing and grinning like a fool the whole way through. And the narration? Absolute perfection.

If you love fake-dating, forced proximity, and a holiday setting with heart and heat — this one’s for you. The ending tied everything up beautifully, giving the cozy Christmas HEA I was hoping for. 🎄💋

✨ Standalone

Unexpected Christmas Surprise

The Naughty or Nice Deal by Callie Rose. This is my first book by this author. I was hooked on this book. Maeve had dated Ford's brother Liam. Liam was the worst boyfriend and when Maeve broke it off, Ford offered her the job of executive assistant for him, Hayden and Gabriel. These workaholic CEOs all have different grumpy personalities but Maeve handles them all like a champ. Maeve has a take nothing attitude and stands up to them like a boss. The banter between these characters is hilarious. She knows these men well after working for them for the last 2 years--or so she thinks. Maeve is a bit insecure and kind of freaks out on herself and decides that she needs to make a drastic change in her life. Being stuck in the same position for 2 years, she decides she needs to quit and impulsively acts on that decision. At the same time/day, the men have a deal that will be good for their company's growth but in order to secure the deal with the "old-fashion, conservative" CEO of the company, one of them needs to get engaged/married and Ford is it. So, when Maeve bursts into Fords office and gives her notice, Ford is shocked and even scared so he lays out his proposal for a fake engagement to keep Maeve around and fulfill the plan to secure the company's deal. But this will also entail 2 weeks or so at his family's mansion with her ex, Liam and of course Hayden and Gabriel.

Story!

Excellent! You can never go wrong with 3 hot, smart and passionate business man and one sassy, driven assistant. I really liked the story and thought it was well written. Narrators were great except when the male Narrator did not do a French accent for one of the MMC's where the female Narrator did. That would be the only thing I could gripe about.

Cute

This was a cute love story for the holidays! The narrorators did an excellent job!
