**I received a free, advanced copy of this book for reviewing purposes. Thank you to the author, Tia Louise, and to Grey’s Promotions for including me in this release!**

The Story

Raif Jones has been in the previous books in the series, but it was only until the third book that he became more prominent. Raif is a teddy bear at heart. But his circumstances have led him to follow his brother down a bad road. Which has then only further cemented his ‘troublemaker’ label the townspeople have given him.

Jemima is finally back where she wants to be- in Eureka, with her sister close by. The small town is the perfect sanctuary for her and for Nikki, a girl she rescues before arriving back in town. But when someone arrives in town to take Nikki away, she finds herself proposing to the town’s bad boy and getting married at city hall.

My Verdict on Book Title Here

Overall, I rate A Little Naughty a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The found family vibes in this story are the perfect way to wrap up the series, and I’ve loved seeing all the characters expanding their families, and how the Stone brothers wasted no time in immediately welcoming Raif into their circle. This book especially is a found family story, but the entire series is a perfect example of the trope. I’ve really enjoyed the Be Still series, and I’m sad to see it end. But, I also can’t wait for Tia Louise’s upcoming sports romance, The Way We Touch, which releases in June!

spoilers ahead!

It’s hard not to want Jemima and Raif to adopt Nikki and become her ‘parents.’ They are so good with Nikki, and while they are no where near ready to be parents, they both are kind and only want to help this little girl who has suffered through so much. But when her mother appears, Nikki’s excitement is too pure. She summed up the situation perfectly when she says that she is happy to have her mom back, but sad to leave her new home.

I admit, until she said that, I was expecting the mother to change her mind and agree to be a regular visitor, but leave her daughter with the newlyweds. I’m glad things resolved the way they did. It didn’t take the ‘easy’ way out, which I appreciated so much.
