Being Naughty Has Never Been So Nice! 


When Lyla's father retired as CEO of the toy company which has been in their family for generations, she was meant to receive his shares. Instead, she discovers the company is bankrupt and her father has given her shares to Mason Klaus, an investor known in the corporate world for his cold and callous nature. Much to Lyla's frustration, her only option is to run the company with him, despite their evident loathing for one another. 


When Mason cancels the annual Christmas party, Lyla throws it anyway - only for the event of the season to result in a terrible fire. With the offices and Lyla's credibility ruined, Mason offers her a deal: he'll forget her part in the disaster, but she must join his family for the twelve days of their Christmas holidays. 


Taken to a fantastical winter wonderland, Lyla hopes that she might discover some of the secrets Mr Klaus is hiding, and maybe even a way to get her company back. However, when Mason introduces her to the secret village as his fiancée, she is horrified to realise she has no choice but to go along with the pretence - because the cost of bringing an outsider to their magical land is far too high. 


Can Lyla resist the devilishly handsome Mr Klaus and the enchanting village to win back her company, or will she give into temptation?

The Naughty Or Nice Clause Reviews

3.5
“I had high hopes for this one and the premise was really good. The world and magic system were unique. Everything else fell flat. I was not a fan of either the FMC Lyla or the MMC Klaus. They had a working relationship rivalry but all we really saw was Klaus being a jerk and Lyla being mad at him. But he had a thing for her since the moment he saw her. I’m, no thanks. They weren’t exactly enemies (of course) and they barely became lovers. The pacing felt clunky. I didn’t feel invested in the plot or the characters. There were a couple ok moments in their relationship but overall I don’t get why we would have been rooting for them to be together. The last maybe 30 pages were so rushed and it just didn’t make sense. There was all this time to build on the story but it just didn’t happen and then all of a sudden happily ever after. I don’t think this was executed well enough for me to recommend.”
