ABOUT THE BOOK; Release Date March 26, 2019

The conclusion to Dylan and Audrey’s story begun in Sweet Liar.

Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.

But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.

He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: SWEET FATE is the second instalment and conclusion to Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY SWEET erotic, romance duology focusing on forty-four year old, billionaire businessman Dylan Locke, and twenty-four year old, art graduate Audrey Lind. The DIRTY SWEET series is a spin-off from the author’s Dirty Games Duet. Audrey is Sabrina Lind’s younger sister, and Dylan is partners in Reach Inc.

NOTE: SWEET FATE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up one year after the events of book one Sweet Liar.

Told from first person point of view (Dylan Locke) with an epilogue from Audrey, SWEET FATE picks up one year after the events of book one in which forty-three year old, billionaire businessman Dylan Locke, and twenty-three year old, art graduate Audrey Lind had a torrid one week affair that ended with Dylan Locke returning to his home and business in England, and Audrey returning to college to finisher her degree. Fast forward one year wherein Dylan will come face to face with the woman he loves when she accepts an intern position at the National Gallery of London. Continuing to struggle with their age difference, and his attraction and need for Audrey Lind, Dylan refuses to acknowledge the elephant in the room, as he stands by the side lines when Audrey attempts to locate the ‘one’. Agreeing to a friends with benefits relationship, Dylan continues to fall for the woman he will eventually push out of his life. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Dylan and Audrey, and the potential fall-out as Dylan is unable to admit his love for our story line heroine.

Dylan Locke doesn’t do relationships, in fact, he hasn’t been with anyone else since he walked away for Audrey Lind. Audrey Lind has a bubbly and vivacious personality but has never stopped loving our story line hero-she slowly breaking down the barriers around his frozen heart.

The relationship between Audrey and Dylan is one of instant chemistry but a highly sexual relationship wherein their mutual attraction is tempered by Dylan’s inability to trust or move on. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense but I struggle with the use of a certain four-letter word in a romance story line.

The secondary and supporting characters include several of the Dirty Games Duet characters :Audrey’s sister Sabrina Lindt and Donovan Kincaid; Weston and Elizabeth King; Nate and Trish; sales division manager Amy; Dylan’s son Aaron, and his ex-wife Ellen Wallace; and Audrey’s boss Jana Spruce.

SWEET FATE is a story of family, friendship, perseverance and love. The premise is playful, emotional and engaging; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are sassy, colorful and captivating.

It was a completely different experience kissing Audrey, after I’d accepted the gravity of the feelings I had for her.
I knew the kiss meant nothing, that it would lead nowhere, but it felt like being bathed in radiant light.
Like I was an imprisoned man in a dark prison cell who, for one brief moment, was allowed to step outside into the sunlight. I was completely present for it. Each brush of her lips, each touch of her tongue—I memorized it all, imprinted every second into my brain so that I’d have it forever. I might still have worn shackles with no hope of freedom, but this moment mattered. It was real and divine, and I would cherish every last second of the stolen sunshine until my dying day.
I would’ve been content with only kissing, with just the shallow lifts and falls of her chest and frantic hands trying to caress and cling.
But Audrey had other ideas in mind, demonstrated by the quick work of her hands at my waist, unbuckling my belt, undoing my trousers, the slip of her hand inside the opening to stroke the outline of my very prominent erection.
“This,” she said between kisses. She pulled at the elastic waistband of my boxers and dipped her hand in to touch me directly.
I hissed at the feel of her soft hand against my hot skin.
“I want this,” she begged. “Can I have this?”

ABOUT THE BOOK : Release Date February 26, 2019

British ad exec Dylan Locke isn’t looking for love. He isn’t looking for fate. He’s definitely not looking for Audrey Lind. She’s pretty, far too young, and overly romantic–in short, exhausting.

But when the girl, young enough to be his daughter, literally lands in his lap and asks for his expertise, he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t interested. In her body, in her innocence, in her philosophy.

In the kind of kismet that starts with kisses.

But Audrey isn’t looking for love either–she’s looking for lessons, and she’s certain Dylan knows everything she needs to learn.

If he agrees to play the teacher can he keep his heart?

Of course he can.

Then again, he might be lying.

••••••••

REVIEW: SWEET LIAR is the first instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary adult DIRTY SWEET erotic, romance series focusing on forty-two year old, businessman Dylan Locke, and twenty-three year old, college student Audrey Lind. The DIRTY SWEET series is a spin-off from the author’s Dirty Games Duet, and some of the events in Sweet Liar run parallel to, and cross over with some of the events in the Dirty Games Duet. Audrey is Sabrina Lind’s younger sister.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Audrey and Dylan) SWEET LIAR follows the May-December, relationship between forty-two year old, businessman Dylan Locke, and twenty-three year old, college student Audrey Lind. Dylan’s time in the USA comes with an expiry date but time spent with Audrey Lind gives him pause for the future. Audrey’s attraction to Dylan Locke is immediate and intense but what our heroine lacks in experience she makes up for with seduction and fun. Hoping to gain the sexual experience she so desperately wants, Audrey makes Dylan an offer he cannot refuse. What ensues is the building sexual relationship between Audrey and Dylan as Dylan shows Audrey the art of ‘sex’, and the fall-out as their time together comes to a close.

SWEET LIAR is a quick read; an erotic story between an older, experienced man and a younger woman whose enthusiasm is matched by her need to learn. Several of the Dirty Games Duet characters cross over for cohesion and familiarity including Audrey’s sister Sabrina Lindt, as well as Donovan Kincaid and Weston King. The premise is inviting; the characters are fun and flirty; the romance is erotic, seductive and intense but saying that I didn’t feel the palpable sexual attraction between our leading couple-there was limited time to build a romantic relationship and therefore it felt more carnal and businesslike than anything else.

Too bad she was that kind of girl. The kind of girl who wanted a man to love her before she lifted her skirt.

God, she was young. Younger than whatever ridiculous young age she actually was.

I’d sworn off love years ago, but not sex. Never sex. And Audrey Lind was all sorts of temptation, the kind I knew better to stay away from. She was too romantic. She was too American. She was too young. Much too young. I was definitely old enough to be her father. Probably.
Definitely.
I didn’t want to think about that.

“I’m pretty sure I can convince you kismet exists too, if you’ll just do one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“Kiss me.”

I was alone. I would always be alone.

I was a girl who felt things.

Dylan was polite, but he wasn’t nice.

I thought she’d be less dangerous in the sunlight.
I was wrong.

She was sex on heels, and I was a goner.

Audrey Lind: Part wildling, part devil, part innocent, all contradiction.

I wanted to kiss her again. Because she had perfect plump lips. Because she tasted like honey. Because she was warm and the night was cold, and I’d been in the dark for so long.

Colliding into her had been like crashing into sunshine. She made me feel warm in places that had been cold for oh, so long.

“I can’t decide if I need to shelter you, or if I should show you off.”

I stretched her and filled her and punished her pussy for being so perfect, so tight, so inexperienced

I fucked her like I’d paid for the hour.
“I’ve never watched anyone watch me like you’re watching me now.”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 6, 2018

A sham marriage to an infamous playboy – what could possibly go wrong? Don’t miss the breathtaking, high-stakes conclusion to the Dirty Games duet by New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige!

Their union started with a simple plan: to fake a marriage that would allow Elizabeth to take over her father’s company and merge it with Weston’s holdings, creating a vast media empire. But what began as a pretend marriage has become all too real….

Now a bombshell about Weston’s past is keeping him rooted at home while Elizabeth must travel across the globe to take up the company reigns. But their intense connection could bring the entire game crashing down as they’re forced to choose power and family…or the love of a lifetime.

•••••••••

REVIEW: DIRTY SEXY GAMES is the second and final instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY GAMES erotic, romance duet. DIRTY SEXY GAMES is the continuing story of businessman and Reach Inc. partner Weston King, and twenty-five year old Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. DIRTY SEXY GAMES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book one DIRTY SEXY PLAYER

NOTE: Weston King and his business partner were first introduced to the reader in the author’s Dirty Duet Series. I am not quite sure where in the time line of this particular series the Dirty Duet series takes place but considering the premise of both, there is a possible cross-over and parallel story. You do not have to have read the Dirty Duet to understand or follow Dirty Sexy Player.

SOME BACKGROUND: Upon the death of Elizabeth’s father Dell Dyson, founder, CEO and majority shareholder of Dyson Media, Elizabeth became the sole heir to the bulk of his fortune but circumstances prevent Elizabeth from taking over as her father added a misogynistic provision that Elizabeth must be twenty-nine or married before she is able to gain control. With her father’s cousin slowly dismantling the Dyson Empire, Elizabeth was desperate to secure her share of the family business. Enter Weston King, who, with the not so subtle push from his business partner Donovan Kincaid, reluctantly offers his hand in marriage in an effort to help Elizabeth gain control of Dyson Media, that in return merges Dyson advertising subsidiary with Reach Inc.

If you have not read book one DIRTY SEXY PLAYER there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person points of view (Weston and Elizabeth) DIRTY SEXY GAMES follows in the aftermath of two surprising revelations that are about to come crashing down onto our storyline couple. With her marriage to Weston King, Elizabeth will all but secure her place within Dyson Media but Dyson’s head office is in Paris, France, and shocking news just minutes before saying ‘I do’ force Weston to choose between the love of his wife, and responsibilities back home. Never having expected to fall in love with Weston King, Elizabeth will make a heartbreaking decision that pushes Weston out of her life, as she struggles to move forward with what was and what will never be.

DIRTY SEXY GAMES follows Weston and Elizabeth as they embark of their honeymoon, playing a sexy game with one another. Weston battles between head and heart as he struggles to reveal the truth to the woman with whom he has fallen in love, as Elizabeth must prepare to prove that her relationship with Weston is based on love, not secrets and lies. Surprising our hero, Elizabeth accepts everything Weston reveals but Weston continues to struggle with which path to follow.

The relationship between Weston and Elizabeth begins as a marriage of convenience; an acrimonious arrangement wherein Weston struggles to see beyond the spoiled, little rich girl whose only sin is to be born a girl. Throughout the series Weston and Elizabeth slowly develop feelings for one another, feelings that neither believe are reciprocal or true. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are re-introduced to Weston’s business partner Donovan Kincaid, an alpha male who controls Weston like a puppet on a string; Weston’s former friends with benefits Sabrina Lind; fellow business partner Nate Sinclair; Elizabeth’s mother Angela Dyson and her partner Marie; our heroine’s ex lover Clarence Sheridan ; as well as newcomers Dana, Callie and Sebastian; and Weston’s parents Nash and Maggie, and his sister Noelle.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Weston and Elizabeth, and the fallout of past sins on both sides of the family. Elizabeth follows the questionable advice of a mother whose own life spiralled out of control, as Weston must face the man who all be destroyed a young boy’s life.

DIRTY SEXY GAMES is an emotional and heart breaking story line; a sexy, spicy and inviting tale about two people who were thrown together by betrayal and revenge; secrets and lies. The premise is spirited and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are energetic, charismatic and real. DIRTY SEXY GAMES is a fascinating and sensitive story of love, sacrifice and happily ever after.

As soon as we were in our suite, the bomb exploded, the bomb being Elizabeth. “We’re alone now, so just tell me straight. You knew I was always going to France. If you wanted to be with me, you had to know it would involve living there. Is that not something you’ll even consider? Is it Sabrina? Is it Reach? Is it Donovan? Because if it’s fucking Donovan who’s keeping you from—”

I grabbed her hands, which were flying in midair as she yelled, and pulled them behind her back at her waist as I cut her off with a searing kiss, my tongue plunging into her open mouth, robbing her of oxygen.

When she was thoroughly kissed, her lips pliable, her body sagging in my arms, I let her go.

“I’m tired, Elizabeth. I’m not discussing fucking anything tonight.” I took off my tuxedo jacket and threw it on the desk. Then I began working on my cufflinks. “What I think we both need now is to release some tension.”

Her spine straightened, her neck growing longer as she stared at me in shock. “You think we’re going to have sex now?”

I loved how she made it sound disgusting, like she wasn’t interested, even when I’d just been kissing her and had felt the lean in her body, had tasted the desire in her mouth.

Two could play the indifference game.
I shrugged. “I’m fucking someone tonight. If you want it to be you, you better take off your dress.”

Her mouth slammed shut, and she only seemed to consider it for two seconds before she was fumbling with the zipper at her back. She struggled with it, but I didn’t help her. It made me stiff to watch her frantically trying to strip down, just because I told her to. Just because she thought I might find a better offer if she didn’t.

Like there was a better offer than her.
Like there was anyone but her.

I didn’t take my eyes off her as I unbuttoned my vest and tossed it to the side with my jacket. I’d loosened my tie by the time she got her dress undone. It fell to the floor and she was left wearing a strapless corseted bra, one that had a low back so it couldn’t be seen with her dress on, and matching lace panties—both in a white ivory so virginal and bridal it seemed dirty.

Jesus, she was a fucking wet dream.
And she was my wife.

Weston King knows how to play. But wild nights and owning an extensive collection of women’s panties don’t carry the thrill they once did, so when his business partner Donovan suggests an outrageous plan to allow them to take over their competition, Wes takes him up on the offer. The crazy idea? Marry the competitor.

Elizabeth Dyson, the bride-to-be in question, is on board with the plan. She wants access to her trust fund and can only get it once she marries. Each has something the other wants – all they have to do is pretend to like each other well enough to tie the knot.

Only trouble is, playing fiancé to Elizabeth isn’t quite that simple. Wes finds her sexy and brilliant…and soon wishes their engagement wasn’t fake at all. Not that he’d ever tell her that.

But a lover boy like Wes can only stand an empty bed for so long…and even the best of players has to put down his cards eventually

REVIEW: DIRTY SEXY PLAYER is the first instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY GAMES erotic, romance duet focusing on businessman and Reach Inc. partner Weston King, and twenty-five year old Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. Weston King and his business partner were first introduced to the reader in the author’s Dirty Duet Series. I am not quite sure where in the time line of this particular series the Dirty Duet series takes place but considering the premise of both, there is a possible cross-over and parallel story.You do not have to have read the Dirty Duet to understand or follow Dirty Sexy Player.

Told from dual first person points of view (Elizabeth and Weston) DIRTY SEXY PLAYER (first released in audio April 2018) follows the enemies to lovers/ fake romance-marriage trope between businessman Weston King, and Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. Upon the death of Elizabeth’s father Dell Dyson, founder, CEO and majority shareholder of Dyson Media, Elizabeth became the sole heir to the bulk of his fortune but circumstances prevent Elizabeth from taking over as her father added a misogynistic provision that Elizabeth must be twenty-nine or married before she is able to gain control. With her father’s cousin slowly dismantling the Dyson Empire, Elizabeth was desperate to secure her share of the family business. Enter Weston King, who, with the not so subtle push from his business partner Donovan Kincaid, reluctantly offers his hand in marriage in an effort to help Elizabeth gain control of Dyson Media, that in return merges Dyson advertising subsidiary with Reach Inc. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Elizabeth and Weston that is continuously impacted by jealousy, subversion, betrayal, secrets, lies and presumed expectations.

Weston King is a player who wants nothing to do with marrying Elizabeth Dyson, a woman he deems unworthy of his attention and time but desperate times call for desperate measures when Donovan makes Weston an offer he cannot refuse. Elizabeth isn’t happy about a marriage of (in)convenience but if it means saving her father’s company from a complete dismantling then a feisty Elizabeth is ready to do anything including marrying a man whose dislike for our heroine is palpable and heart breaking. Immaturity, misunderstanding and a distinct lack of communication are only some of the obstacles for our leading couple.

The relationship between Weston and Elizabeth is caustic, antagonistic and acidic. Weston’s belligerent attitude is off-putting, and his on-going need to throw his past sexual conquests into his fake-fiance’s face are petulant and immature. From the outset, their palpable sexual attraction is disguised by the bitter and testy back and forth. Elizabeth wants a no-sex relationship but all good ideas are overcome by want and need. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

We are re-introduced to Weston’s business partner Donovan Kincaid, an alpha male who controls Weston like a puppet on a string; Weston’s friends with benefits Sabrina Lind; fellow business partner Nate Sinclair; and Elizabeth’s mother Angela Dyson.

DIRTY SEXY PLAYER focuses on the hate-love relationship between a woman desperate enough to embark on a long-term business and marriage arrangement with a man who despises the ground upon which she walks. Faking her love for Weston is complicated by Weston’s need to hurt the woman with whom he is falling in love. The premise is spirited, clever and edgy: the characters are combative and colorful; the romance is provocative but struggles in the face of preconceived notions and the inconvenient truth. DIRTY SEXY PLAYER ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.

I looked at the windows past him, trying to distract myself. Lights flashed and swirled around the dance floor in time to the beat, the only part of the music which made it into the sanctuary of the bubble room. I could tell it was crowded, but I couldn’t make out faces the way they could probably make out ours. “I don’t know if anyone’s looking,” I said.

“Don’t worry about them. Just focus on what you’re doing.”

Easy for him to say. He wasn’t facing them. He was only looking at me.

Nope. I couldn’t think about that either. Just had to focus on the task at hand.

I closed my eyes. “So just pretend that I… That we are… That under my dress…” I couldn’t even say it.

Weston leaned forward and murmured near my ear. “Yes, pretend that under your dress you are not wearing any panties. I have my dick out. I’m working you, and you are showing me exactly how you like it. Now go.”

Just like that, my panties were damp.

I didn’t know if he was saying those things to loosen me up or to get a rise out of me, either was possible.

Whatever his intent, it did the trick. He set the scene. I felt my face flush like the women in the videos as I imagined him rubbing his crown against my slit before nudging his tip inside and then burying himself to the hilt.

I opened my mouth in a silent gasp, acting out how I was sure it would feel. Good. It would feel so good.

This was so…weird. So hot and sexy and arousing and weird.

I wondered if he was feeling it too, feeling turned on, or if it was just me. It wasn’t like I could ask though, and knowing probably wouldn’t help my performance anyway.

So I concentrated on me. Focused on the task.

“Do I move or something?” I bucked my hips forward and felt the friction against my crotch as it rubbed the fly of his pants.

Mmm.

“Yeah,” he said breathlessly. “That’s good. That motion. Just like that.”

“Okay. Okay.” I rocked against him again, and again, my hips tilting back and forth, my clit brushing against his fly. Every time, stroking and kindling a fire in a fireplace I hadn’t had cleaned for some time. I spread my thighs a little wider and braced my knees against the bench so I could swing my pelvis all the way forward, in and out, in and…

Oh.

I froze. “Is that—?” But I didn’t have to ask. There was most definitely a fat, thick ridge pressed against the crotch panel of my panties. I guess that answered the question of whether he was feeling it too.

My eyes flew open. “Oh my God!”

“Look,” he said, ready to defend himself. “There’s an extremely attractive woman sitting on my lap. I cannot help what happens to my cock. It has a mind of its own.”

A really big mind of its own.

-An Old Friend.

••••••

REVIEW: FIXED FOREVER is the sixth instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary adult FIXED erotic, romance series focusing on billionaire businessman Hudson Pierce, and his wife Alayna Withers-Pierce. FIXED FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as many of the events in Fixed Forever are as of a direct result of events in the previous instalments. I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion especially as it pertains to Hudson and Alayna’s earlier relationship.

Told from dual first person points of view (Hudson and Alayna) FIXED FOREVER fast forwards the series several years, and focuses on the threats against billionaire businessman Hudson Pierce, and the woman he loves, his wife Alayna Withers-Pierce. Several months into her second pregnancy, threatening letters, of a personal nature, began to arrive from an unknown source. Trying to keep the letters a secret from his wife, Hudson hires more security in an attempt to alleviate the threats to his family but all does not go according to plan when, months later, Alayna discovers the truth and begins an investigation of her own. With Hudson’s colorful and deceitful past, any number of suspects are possible including the woman, Celia Werner, who helped mastermind the games Hudson played with so many lives.

FIXED FOREVER reveals the some of the questionable enterprises upon which Hudson (and Celia) embarked in an attempt to play their dangerous games of lies and deceit. Vengeance and retribution are but the tip of the iceberg, as Hudson and Alayna must delve deeper into the dark secrets of Hudson’s past, revealing the truth depth of depravity our hero had once journeyed, not only with Celia, but in his earlier years, as well. Issues of trust slowly eat away at the shaky foundation upon which their relationship is built but Hudson’s need to protect his family is first and foremost the most important issue on his mind.

Most of the previous story line couples (and characters) play secondary and supporting roles including Hudson’s brother Chandler and his fiancé Genevieve, as well as their sister Mirabelle; and Hudson’s PA Trish Bisceglia. We are reintroduced to Alayna’s nemesis, and Hudson’s former ‘partner’ Celia Werner, and her husband Edward Fasbender. Celia and Edward’s story is next with the release of SLAY book one, in the author’s spin off series the Slay Trilogy slated for June 2019. I will add that there is some confusion as it pertains to the similarity in names especially as it concerned Mira (Mirabelle), and Mina (Hudson and Alayna’s daughter), as well as Hudson, and his son Holden. The resemblance made for some confusing moments.

FIXED FOREVER is a story of betrayal, secret and lies; vengeance, jealousy, and retribution; romance, love, and a happily ever after. The premise is intriguing, suspenseful and captivating; the characters are familiar, colorful and charismatic; the romance is erotic, passionate and intense. Laurelin Paige writes an impassioned story about two people whose love for one another is tested, one betrayal at a time.

If she’d needed a day or two in bed, upset and processing and obsessively looking through pictures of the event on social media, what would that have mattered?

I trusted her to come back to me when she was through her anxiety.

Maybe that was the key. Maybe she wasn’t punishing me —but rather, was testing me. Seeing if I was capable of actually letting her go to work and not interfering. Not showing up, cold and demanding, when she lost track of time.

Because in truth, I was the one who wasn’t strong enough.

For all that I blamed her for giving in to her overactive mind, I was the one who worried too much. Who was overprotective. Who couldn’t handle the thought of her suffering, even only slightly. She was the one who alerted me to possibilities, her mind skittering from one thing to the next even as she stayed my rock.

The truth was, without me, Alayna was still brilliant and clever and lovely and big-hearted and enough.

But without her, I was nothing.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 21, 2017

I like sex. Kinky sex. The kinkier the better.

Every day, it’s all I think about as I serve coffee and hand out business agendas to men who have no idea I’m not the prim proper girl they think I am.

With a day job as the secretary to one of New York’s most powerful men, Hudson Pierce, I have to keep my double life quiet. As long as I do, it’s not a problem.

Enter: Nathan Sinclair. Tall, dark and handsome doesn’t come close to describing how hot he is. And that’s with his clothes on. But after a dirty, filthy rendezvous, I accept that if we ever see each other again, he’ll walk right by my desk on his way to see my boss without recognizing me.

Only, that’s not what happens. Not the first time I see him after the party. Or the next time. Or the time after that. And as much as I try to stop it, my two worlds are crashing into each other, putting my job and my reputation at risk.

And all I can think about is Nathan Sinclair.

All I can think about is getting just one more dirty, filthy fix.

••••••••••

REVIEW: DIRTY FILTHY FIX by Laurelin Paige is instalment 5.5 in the author’s contemporary adult FIXED erotic, romance series, and the latest installment in the multi-authored 1001 Dark Nights novella series. This is Hudson Pierce’s (Fixed Trilogy) thirty five year old professional assistant Patricia ‘Trish’ Bisceglia, and forty five year old Nathan Sinclair’s –millionaire advertising executive, Creative Director for Reach, INC – story line. DIRTY FILTHY FIX can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of Dirty Filthy Fix cross-over with Dirty Filthy Rich Love (Dirty Duet #2).

Told from first person point of view (Trish Bisceglia) DIRTY FILTHY FIX follows the sexual escapades of our heroine Patricia Bisceglia, PA to billionaire businessman Hudson Pierce, and a woman who isn’t afraid to explore the kinky side of her sexual proclivities. As an unauthorized member of the Open Door ‘rotating’ sex club our fiercely independent heroine owns her sexuality, adhering to a specific set of rules including no penetration, never go home with anyone, never give out personal information, and never remove her mask until the night Nathan Sinclair catches our heroine’s eye, and all bets are off. What ensues is Nathan Sinclair’s slow seduction of a woman who steadfastly remains committed to controlling every aspect of her life, and the eventual fall-out as Trish begins to ease up on the rules that kept her sexual life out of the public eye-Patricia Bisceglia-professional assistant by day; T by night.

DIRTY FILTHY FIX is a quick, erotic and sexy story line. Trish Bisceglia does not do relationships or commitment but enjoys the sexual freedom of the kinkier aspects of sex and everything it has to offer. Nathan Sinclair is a man who likes to watch, a voyeur, who likes what he sees in our story line heroine, and intends to seduce said heroine into something more. The premise is sexy and hot. The characters are colorful and dynamic but the character building is limited- we know very little about their backgrounds or history prior to their fateful and unexpected meeting. The romance is spicy and edgy; the club sex scenes are dirty minded and erotic.

Sensual couple touching at each other

excerpt

I wore satin that Saturday night, a long blue slip dress with slits up both sides. I never wore underwear to the parties. They were too much of an inconvenience, and the few times I had worn them, I’d just ended up giving them away as souvenirs. I liked nice lingerie. I preferred to keep most of it.
The shoes I wore—simple heels, easy to slip off—were also standard for an evening at the Open Door. But somehow I felt simultaneously more dressed up and more naked than I had in a long time. I left my hair down, and it fell long past my shoulders in dark, nearly black waves. It felt less like I was going to a weekly party and more like I was going on a date. A glamorous date.
It was a signal that I should not go.
But I went. Nothing could have kept me away.
I spent the beginning of the night as a voyeur, camped out on the settee watching as the Doms paraded their submissives around the room, entertaining everyone with their tricks and commands.
I had a few invitations to play from the regulars—Andrew, who’d shown up with a girl I’d never met before. Of course, Chuck Richard was there, wanting to fondle and stroke my skin. But I shooed them all away, feigning an introverted mood, when really I was just looking and waiting for one person in particular.
An hour went by. Then an hour and a half. After two hours, I kicked myself internally a bunch of times before realizing that I was in a place where people would gladly do that for me. So when Andrew suggested a game, an adult version of Spin-the-Bottle, I decided to join in.
An oddly shaped circle was created, some people choosing to sit on the floor, some on the furniture. I curled up with my knees to one side on the floor, and when I finished straightening my gown around me, I looked up to find that the man sitting on the ottoman across from me was Nathan.
And suddenly the room felt so much brighter than it had a few minutes before. Like there’d been too many plugs shoved into one outlet and finally someone had tugged one free, the power had surged, and the lights glowed.
Everyone disappeared around me and the only face I could see was his, handsome and rugged, his grin directed at me. His eyes lit up like they were the source of the glow, and they were the only things I could see.
Somehow I was sure I’d just broken one of my rules. I didn’t know which one, and I didn’t even care.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 11, 2017

I’ve discovered Donovan Kincaid’s secret.

It’s dirty and filthy and rich – as dirty and filthy and rich as he is – and it haunts me as much as he ever did.

Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there’s an ocean between us, and I’m not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

Yet I’m willing to try.

He doesn’t know this yet, but this time I’m the one with the power. And maybe – just maybe – if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.

And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

•••••••••

REVIEW: DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE is the second installment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY erotic, romance duet focusing on billionaire businessman Donovan Kincaid, and PA Sabrina Lind. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately upon the events of book one Dirty Filthy Rich Men.

NOTE: DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN contains scenes of sexual assault, fantasy rape and aggressive sex, and may not be suitable for all readers.

Told from first person point of view (Sabrina Lind) DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE looks at the dysfunctional relationship between PA Sabrina Lind, and billionaire businessman Donovan Kincaid- a relationship built upon ten years of lies, obsession and a mutual kink between consenting adults that may not be everyone’s sexual fantasy.

Donovan’s obsession with Sabrina Lind borders on the psychotic- love is a term that cannot be applied to Donovan’s need for control, as his preoccupation with our heroine was disturbing and wrong. Sabrina’s entire adult life had been a lie, and with this revelation our heroine struggles with her attraction to the man who had controlled every aspect of her life- both personally and professionally –for close to ten years. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE focuses on the back and forth, push and pull of a relationship distorted by one man’s need for power and control.

DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE is a well written and engaging story line but I struggle with labeling Donovan’s actions. I am probably in the minority but what others saw as passion, protective, love and seductive, I saw something disturbing, obsessive, over the top, and dangerous. In the real world, there are laws to protect victims from the what, why and how of Donovan Kincaid; DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE redefines and changes the boundaries of obsession, romanticizing that which would otherwise be dangerous and out of control. The premise is startling; the romance is controversial and intense; the characters are damaged, bold and alive. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE’s rush to the finish was a little disconcerting; Sabrina’s need for Donovan Kincaid is the perfect complement to our hero’s questionable nature and the justification of his actions as protection and love.

excerpt

WARNING: Excerpt intended for mature readers 18+ due to strong language and text.

 

He took another step toward me, and I started to step back, but there was a counter behind me, so I had to stay put. And maybe I wanted to stay put. He was only a foot and a half away from me now.
“But I haven’t lied to you, Sabrina.” His gaze never left mine. “And I’m not lying when I say I don’t give a fuck about anybody else’s cunt but yours.”We stood there, not touching, not speaking, each of us standing our ground. But I had no basis to keep my position, and it felt like he’d won so much already.

I couldn’t back down.

“Prove it,” I said.

His expression flared, his eyes growing dark and mean, and I realized what I’d done. Donovan wasn’t one to be provoked.

I’d just invited the devil out to play.

“Unzip your skirt and put your hands on the counter behind you.”

My heart hammered and my belly twisted. My panties were embarrassingly drenched all of a sudden, and I wanted him. But I stood completely still. “I didn’t—”

He cut me off. “No talking and unzip your skirt.”

My mouth slammed shut, but I still didn’t move. If I moved, I’d be asking for this. But if I talked, I’d be telling him to stop.

And I didn’t want this to stop.

I just didn’t want to ask for it because I was stubborn and stupid for wanting him in the first place.

But he would give it to me without the words, without my obedience. Because he knew me. He knew what I needed.

With his eyes never leaving mine, he found the zipper at the side of my waist and pulled it down. After that, the skirt was loose enough that all he had to do was tug it once and it fell easily to my feet. He nudged his knee against my inner leg, and automatically I stepped that foot out of the pool of material on the floor, widening my stance.

He gave a nod of praise, sending a jolt of warmth through my entire body.

Then he bent down in front of me.

Suddenly, breathing was harder than it should have been. My chest moved up and down, air passed through my mouth, but I couldn’t get enough of it to my lungs.

And he hadn’t even touched me yet.

The sight of him alone—Donovan Kincaid, one of the most powerful men in the world, down on his knees in his black Ermenegildo Zegna suit—it was overwhelming and erotic, and by the time he put his hand at the back of my knee, I was already trembling.
