In this book we have Jake Quick, the eldest of 3 boys. The men still live at home on the ranch with their father. They are drowning in laundry and dishes. No one knows how to cook, and they can’t survive much longer on Frozen meals, and cereal. Their father, tells Jake to hire a housekeeper, to manage the house and meals. The last thing any of the men want to do after working a hard day on the ranch is to come in and do laundry and cook. Jake calls the pastor who performed their grandmother’s burial. Of course the pastor knows who needs a job right away.
The pastor contacts a young woman, Ande who is new in town. Yes, she is interested in the job, and having a new place to live. Her tiny shack she’s in now isn’t going to be big enough when the baby starts crawling and walking. Ande goes out to the Quick Ranch. She meets Jake and likes the house and the duties. The small house, where their grandmother lived is just across from the main house. This will be perfect for her and her small kids.
Jake is instantly taken with Ande. He knows this will be hard working around her. Jake’s father makes a decree to Jake and the other brothers that Ande isn’t to be touched. She is to work, clean, and cook.
Ande isn’t sure at first about all the gruff men and her little one’s being around. She hopes they won’t get mad at them like her husband she ran from.
Will Ande and Jake be able to have a relationship and get to know one another? Or will Jake’s father put an end to it before it begins?

This author is a one-click author for me, I just love all of his books! Jake, his 2 brothers and father are a mess since their grandmother died a year ago. They handle the ranch work and she handed all of the household chores, but they are failing at keeping the house in shape without their grandmother. Finally the patriarch has had enough and tasks Jake with hiring someone to tend to the household chores. In comes Ande with her 2 kids. All of the Quick men are smitten especially Jake. Ande comes with her own set of problems and Jake wants to solve all of her issues and does without Ande’s knowing. This a sweet story and I can’t wait for the series to continue!
I have come to love Aden Lowe’s books and writing style. He knows how to tell a story that makes you smile, laugh, swoon and best of all feel a part of the story. He gives you characters to love and storylines that grab you and keep you in their grips to the very end.
Quick and Dirty is the start of a new series. A series, that if this book is a judge, is going to be a hit, at least in my book. It’s fun, flirty, sassy and romantic. The story is about the Quick brothers and their father. The boys mother took off when they were small living granny and dad to raise them. Granny gave them love and good ole country values while dad taught them to work hard and live off the land. When granny dies they are lost, as she’s taken care of them all for so long. Dad decides they need a cook/housekeeper and tells Jake to find them one. Not having a clue where to start, Jake calls the local preacher for help. In walks Ande and her kids into the Quick’s lives. Ande is on the run and hiding from an abusive husband. From here the story takes off and will take you on a funny yet daunting journey.
This is a great start to the series and this reader is looking forward to book 2 in the series. 2 Thumbs up for a great 5 star read.
Since their grandmother died his father and brothers have not been coping. His father orders him to hire someone. He hears about her and hires her so her two children will be safe as well. All he needs to do now is keep his hands off her. Will be be able to? See if he can

Loved this story. Aden has himself another hit of a series. A fantastic mom looking for a break and a place to disappear falling into a hoe with a group of bachelor brothers that need help. Definitely a country romance with a bit of steam.

This is my kind of book. I consider it a must read. A new author for me. I have plans to read a lot more of his books. The boys and their father have a mess of a house and can’t cook. With all that going on they need to make a sucess of the ranch. The preacher brings them a woman with two children and other baggage. This is so much fun to read. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
4 1/2 Stars
Huh! I really enjoyed this sweet and simple story of how Ande, a desperate single mom of two small children end up saving the Quick family from self districting.
She was just what was needed to help those five struggling men heal and become a family again.
Nice writing style, easy to follow storyline with good pacing.
An enjoyable read from start to finish!

5-Stars, and recommended if you enjoy a sweet, possessive love story
My first ever read by this author, and I’m so glad I picked up this book. The description didn’t prepare me for the emotional connections between the characters, or how I’d be rooting for them by the end. I literally cannot wait for the next. Please sir, may I have more?
Quick and Dirty is a fast paced country romance. Filled with heart, romance and a wonderful storyline. Jake will own your heart and Ande will show you how strong a mum can be when put to the ultimate test to protect her children. This book might be a quick read but it takes you on a country ride that packs a punch.
