Dirty Filthy Rich Men (Dirty Duet, #1)

by Laurelin Paige

One unexpected and wild weekend with Weston King, and I’m a new woman. He, on the other hand, is the same rich, notorious playboy he’s always been. In other words, not the commitment type.





So even though we had fun those two days and nights, I moved on quickly from our horizontal time together.





Or I thought I did until he offered me a job a month later at his firm in NYC.





Can you blame a girl for thinking we might have a chance together?





What I didn’t anticipate was Donovan Kincaid, Weston's best friend and business partner. He’s dangerous and dominant and gets under my skin in ways that no other man has.





The worst part? I like it.

This cover is totally lickable! It's a good representation of the story. Has good compostion and nice typography.

UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT

I think I am going to be that person that stands over in the corner that no one wants to talk to over this one. It was just OK for me. Honestly, these supposed "adults" acted more like children with the constant back and forth. Mean jabs and attempts at making each other jealous.



Donovan was an asshole through the whole book. I don't mind a good asshole hero, but you need to give me at least some glimpses of a human with feelings so I can connect with him. I never got that in this book. He was just a constant ass which just ended up making Sabrina look like a doormat for putting up with it. The whole book went something liked this...Donovan being an asshole...Sabrina being a doormat...SEX...Donovan being an asshole...Sabrina being a doormat...SEX...rinse and repeat.

Those issues aside I will say the writing was fantastic. It was nicely paced, and the sex scenes were smokin'. So as of right now, I am on the fence on whether I want to bother with the second book or not. The last chapter made me kind of curious to see where this goes but I am not sure I am up to a whole other book of Sabrina chasing Donovan and him pushing her away. We will see how I feel when it comes out.

[Cocktails and Books]

I’m putting DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN in the “WTF did I just read” category. Not since Tiffany Reisz have I been so uncomfortable reading a book while at the same time unable to put the thing down.

Let’s start by saying you do need to read DIRTY FILTY RICH BOYS, the prequel novella, to get a true understanding of this duet. Sabrina met Donovan and Weston at Harvard. She had two very different experiences with Donovan and Weston, yet she was unable to further explore what they may have when she forced to drop out of school.

This book picks up ten years later when Sabrina starts working for Donovan and Weston. We know Sabrina still has unresolved feelings for Donovan and what happened at Harvard. She may have taken the job thinking Donovan was going to be a world away, she suddenly discovers Donovan is very much going to be involved in her life.

I figured with Sabrina’s mixed feelings between the two guys that maybe we’d be getting into a menage storyline. WRONG! Instead, some very f’d up encounters happen with Sabrina and Donovan. He’d be horrible to her, she’d get turned on and they’d go from there. These two could probably fill up a Costco with the amount of issues they had with each other. Then we can sprinkle in Weston. He and Sabrina had their own short-lived “thing”, which should have been the normal relationship for Sabrina, but he had his own issue to deal with while she pined for the guy that was a complete d-bag to her.

Then there is the scene that will be a trigger for some readers. I’m don’t want to give it away, but I’m still at a loss as to how someone who suffered a trauma could actually get turned on by something that was identical to the trauma. That was kinky f*ckery at it’s best and had me wanting to throw my kindle across the room cursing Donovan, Sabrina and even Laurelin Paige.

Yet, as I got past that scene and onto the end of the story I was desperate for it not to end. Despite being uncomfortable for most of the book, I was sucked in. It was like being told not to look at something and being compelled to do what you were told not too. I wanted to know what the story was behind Donovan and if there was some way for him and Sabrina to get their shite together and figure it all out. So with as much distress as this book caused me, I will anxiously be awaiting the next book’s release on September 11, 2017.re.
