  When Dawg Mackay has his mind set on something, nothing can stand in his way. Right now, his mind is dead set on having Crista Jansen any way he wants her. Lucky Crista.
  
  Dawg has wanted his friend's younger sister for years - years during which she has done nothing but run from him, much to his frustration. Now he has her right where he wants her and he isn't above blackmailing her into his life.
  
  Crista has loved Dawg for years, but one mistake years ago stands between them. It was a night he doesn't remember, but one she can never forget...
  
  Lora Leigh describes her hero in the second book of the Nauti Trilogy as `hard core' and Dawg Mackay has absolutely no trouble at all living up to that description - much to my utter delight! I have hungered for his story since I read the previous book in the series, Nauti Boy, and will say without reservation that Nauti Nights surpassed my expectations, which were pretty darn high to begin with.
  
  Crista is the epitome of the Lora Leigh heroine - strong, soft, intrepid, caring, and with a bit of tragedy in her past that simultaneously makes her stronger and also serves as an obstacle to her relationship with the man she loves.
  
  Dawg is just IT. So Alpha-male he will make your knees wobbly, he is not without a degree of sensitivity - well, in his own dominant way, of course! LOL There are times he does things that make you want to just throttle him, and you keep watching for Crista to do just that, but the omniscient view the reader enjoys makes his domineering manner a little easier to take, since we know all along that the man's heart is definitely in the right place.
  
  As Nauti Nights ends, the author leaves us with a teaser guaranteed to leave fans panting for the next book in the Nauti Trilogy, but more than satisfied with the happy ending she crafts for Crista and Dawg. Carrying readers through a roller coaster of emotions - love, lust, sadness, happiness, and more, Nauti Nights is a perfect example of everything I love about Lora Leigh's work.

• HOT!! HOT!! HOT!!

  
  By A1OGPR0AKZ4K7D on 2007-11-09
  What a great read!! I just finished, and loved this book just as much as the first.
  
  As always the writing was good and the characters well developed. I think each book brings them to a higher level, and we understand them more. I like that all these characters have such a long history between them. It really adds another element to all of them and the story.
  
  The only thing that I hope changes in the next book is for Kelly, Rowdy, Dawg, and Crista to be a little more involved in Natches story. Since Natches, Rowdy, and Dawg grew up like brothers, it would be great for them to have a little more interaction. Just a very minor criticism.
  
  I can hardly wait until the next book comes out in the summer. A must have and a keeper!

  Crista Jenson is in the wrong place at definitely the wrong time. Trying to locate a box of items she had shipped to town when she moved back home, she is stunned to discover a warehouse full of bad guys and even meaner enforcement officers. Men are screaming, bullets are flying, and the biggest surprise of all comes in the very virile and devastatingly handsome visage of Dawg Mackay, town bad boy and secret DEA agent. Dawg gets Crista out of harm's way and in doing so gives her an ultimatum she can't very well refuse.
  
  Dawg Mackay doesn't know why Crista Jenson is in the warehouse during a DEA sting but he is going to find out if he has to kidnap her to get answers. And kidnap her he does. He takes her to his boat, the one place he calls home. There Dawg demands answers; answers Crista is unable to give. Since she isn't talking there is just one thing for Dawg to do. He is going to make sure she sticks to him like glue and if he has to keep her on his boat, then so be it.
  
  Passions flare and sparks fly. Crista and Dawg circle each other warily until the chemistry between them builds to an excruciating need. Giving in to their desires, the two come together in blazing heat. Feelings long denied are uncovered and these two lovers have no choice but to surrender to what their hearts demand - love each other as completely and as naughty as they can.
  
  NAUTI NIGHTS is the second book of Lora Leigh's Nauti series and proves to be exactly as the title alludes. Nauti to the core, Dawg Mackay is hardcore and refuses to apologize for his ways. Investigating missing weapons and possible illegal links to Crista, Dawg does what he thinks best. And his best is hot enough to scorch the pages of this book. Virile, sexy and downright lusty, Dawg tops my list of "bitable" men. The man can ratchet up the heat in this book with one searing look. Crista with her sassy attitude and witty banter is no slouch when it comes to standing up to Dawg. She baits and taunts the forceful hero, and the reader is left holding her breath waiting to see who wins the next round. In my opinion, they both do.
  
  Grab the ice before picking up this book! And give yourself plenty of time for an engrossing read, because once you start, you won't set it down before the final word. Lora Leigh, being the prolific author that I have come to love and adore, has just whetted my appetite for more. The third book of this Nauti series, Natches' story, is due to be released next year.
  
  NAUTI NIGHTS releases from Berkley in November. If book one, Nauti Boy, has not been read, I would recommend reading prior to NAUTI NIGHTS. It is not required but you won't want to miss a single scene in the lives of these extremely naughty men.

• Thought it would have been better as a novella

  
  By A3I28LN7AK8G5R on 2007-11-10
  I LOVE Lora's books and have almost every book and ebook she has put out. But I just couldn't get into this story. The middle really dragged for me and if it had been cut to a smaller story it would have really rocked. I did get the sizzling relationship that I have come to expect from Lora and I can't wait to read more about Natches. Hopefully the next one will be better. Out of the many books by Lora I have read this is the only one I was not pleased with so I have high hopes for her coming back with a great story for the next in this series and for the Breeds as well as the Bound series.

  After a night of drunken passion that Crista can't forget and Dawg only remembers in bits and pieces (assuming it's a fantasy), Crista flees his bed when he mentions that she'll be great in the foursome with his cousins. After discovering that she's pregnant, then miscarries, she decides to leave town for 8 years with a friend. But when Crista returns home and manages to get mixed up in an ATF sting operation, Dawg gives her a choice; be his sex slave or go to jail. Knowing she's innocent doesn't seem to matter since Dawg has been infatuated with her for years. As he and his cousins investigate why she's been targeted, she complies with his every whim (of course putting up a little fight). When a bomb makes mincemeat out of her car, she decides that maybe fighting Dawg is foolish, considering she's also infatuated with him. But will that be enough to keep them together, and keep the rest of his family out of their bedroom?
  
  Hay carumba! I got a lot of grief for reading this from my friends just from the title and cover art. After reading such fantastic reviews, I was sure that it would be a stellar read. It wasn't really - at least not if you are looking for a plot to go with the numerous sexual passages which gets very redundant after awhile. It's hot, but where's the plot? Crista's doormat personality and Dawg's caveman possessiveness gets pretty annoying also, and the mystery is pretty non-existent - I guessed the baddie from the start since the author didn't really provide any other possible suspects or red herrings. The only characters that stood out for me were Alex, who barely made an appearance yet still was an interesting character, and Natches, the unattached cousin who'll no doubt star in the next novel. He added a lot of humor to a story that elicited many other laughs that probably weren't intentional. I'll probably check Natches story out just to give Leigh the benefit of doubt, but this book will be featured in my next garage sale.

• Fabulous Read!
  By AWQHC9HMW2JJK on 2007-11-07
  Lora Leigh has done it again. The second installment of this trilogy is fantastic. If you are ready for hot, steamy, and suspense all rolled into one, then you need to read this book.
  
  I love Lora Leigh's contemporary books. She really can put the steam in steamy. Lora Leigh really knows how to write a good book. Praise for Lora!
  
  
• Ms. Leigh
  By A2IPYJ6DG6JXOH on 2007-11-12
  I have to say Ms. Leigh hit the story right on. I was captivated by Crista and Dawg from the first page. The fact that Crista was strong enough to walk away from him had me on the edge of my seat. I thought this was better than the first story Nauti Boy. I just liked Dawg better.
  I hope that Natches story will be as captivating as Dawg's.
  If you like Lora Leigh, Nauti Nights is a must read.
  This book is a keeper and I will read it again.

• Another Brilliant Book From Lora
  By AIHLBLOLNMLIR on 2007-11-14
  The passion grips you all the way through. Dawg is so Alpha with a capital A, that you can imagine that what he has within his pants he could uproot trees with. This is a great book, even my husband liked it. The characters are so real and meaty, I can't praise it enough. I also liked the first book of the series and also Lora's Forbidden Pleasure. I need a shower now to cool off. I have to admit that I am a relative newcomer to Lora's work, but I can see that her output is prolific and will keep me entertained for some time to come. On another tack, if you like steamy sex and passion in a short story format, check out Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica what it lacks in literary gloss, it more than makes up for raw eroticism.

  I am a big fan of Lora Leigh books and this book is the second book in the Nauti trilogy. Dawg lives up to his name and the sex is smoking hot between him and Crista. Crista has always loved Dawg and he has always been fascinated with her, but when he can't remember making love to her after a night of drinking she runs away from him. When she returns, the fireworks begin and Crista and Dawg are drawn into a situation that involves Homeland
  Security, and betrayal. Lora Leigh is the best at combining the sexiest love scenes with interesting plot content.
  
  
• Lots of heat...
  By A18FUHNBP90IB4 on 2007-12-30
  I bought this book because of the author and I was not disappointed. This books does have alot of heat but it has a very good story. Crista and Dawg ( I hate his name) have known each other all their lives. After a fatefull night when Crista was 18 years old she leaves down - and now 8 years later she is back. Crista finds herself in the middle of shoot out and Dawg puts her in a very special 'protective custody'. Very good and very adult.

• Awesome!
  By A19JE4I8Q89O1X on 2008-01-14
  I selected this book after reading the "Breed" books from this author. This book did not disapoint! I can't wait for the next book to see whwat she comes up with for the last "Nauti Boy"!
  
  
• MMmmm!

  I eagerly anticipate the third and final book.
  
  
• Book Two of the fantastic Nauti trilogy
  By A3NLKYCCR4MJIT on 2008-02-16
  Dawg gets everything that he wants and he absolutely wants Crista, but for years she ran away from him. Dawg can't remember that years ago they spent a night together. They are thrown together again when Crista lands in the middle of Dawg's investigation and her life is endangered by what she saw and she's suddenly a suspect. Will this second chance from destiny bring them back together and lead them to a happy end?
  
  No one can create better and hotter alpha males than Ms. Leigh and Dawg MacKay is no exception. He is a to-die-for alpha male, but sometimes you want to shake him when he is too dense to see what is in front of him. Fortunately Crista will make him see reason and stands up against him. One never knows who will win the battle of wills between them. That really makes the book very interesting.
  
  NAUTI NIGHTS is everything that the title promises and even more. The book is so steaming hot that you will need oven mitts to read it and don't forget a bucket of ice cubes.
  
  NAUTI NIGHTS is the second book in Ms. Leigh's Nauti trilogy and also can be read as a stand-alone, this reviewer recommends reading Nauti Boy, so that you get the whole background of this three very naughty men.
  
  If you are looking for a book will keep you up all night, you really should pick up a copy of NAUTI NIGHTS. Keep your eyes open for Nauti Dreams, which will be released in August.

• HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!
  By A13CVH6GL5XWUO on 2008-05-05
  This book is one of Lora Leighs best ever. Dawg is tough, rugged and will do anything to protect what is his. The cover alone makes you want to lick the sweat off his chest but then you open the book and damn I am in love. I am use to reading books with a warning label and even though this does not have one it is still a steamy book.
  
  
• Excellent

  Crista Jansen is having a really bad day. She goes to pickup her stuff and ends up in gun battle. James "Drawg" McKay has been in love with Crista for the last eight years and now see the perfect chance to have Crista for himself. But there is danger around the couple and time is running out.
  "Nauti Nights" the second book in The Nauti Trilogy by Lora Leigh and this book is a sexy read from a really great writer. Ms. Leigh as always gives the reader great characters and storylines. Can't wait for Natches story.

  I am a big Lora Leigh fan. I read the reviews on this book but none really told me what the book was about. I thought a romance was in order, but I got a bit of a mystery. I admit I figured it out pretty quickly because it was thinly veiled.
  However, I found the book enjoyable enough. I put it in the category with her better works. The romance was a little too thin, not enough hearts and flowers to go with the need ice to keep me cool sex.
