Welcome to Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rules. Get ready to get Down & Dirty because this is Linc’s story…For Linc, life was easy. But life’s about to change.The Dirty Angels MC is Linc’s life. The club his family. His lifesaver when he’d been drowning. Being a part of the club makes life easy for him. He wakes up, rolls out of bed, heads downstairs for grub, booze, women, … downstairs for grub, booze, women, whatever, before hitting the bar at night for work.
But then there’s Jayde. A dark-haired, blue-eyed beauty, a college graduate and an aspiring attorney. The first time he’d seen her hips swaying through church, he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Since then, they’ve circled each other for years. But Jayde deserves better than him, so he’s kept her at arm’s length. Linc has nothing to offer her, while she’s poised to take on the world.
Not only that, she’s dangerous. Her father’s a cop. Her brother, too. Even worse, her oldest brother is the club president. And that’s the most dangerous of all. No matter how much he wants to touch her, smell her, taste her, make her his, he knows he’ll take his life into his own hands by doing so.
Jayde’s torn between her family and the forbidden pull of both Linc and the DAMC. Will a mistake they make finish destroying the Jamisons? Or will it heal the long-time rift between the club and her family?
Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, some violence and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who like to take charge, this book is for you.

Jayde has wanted Linc from the moment she laid eyes on him. Linc definitely wanted Jayde but the complications that came with her kept him from going there. Four years later, she takes a chance at a wedding and it was everything she ever wanted. Then he ghosted her, not returning her calls or texts. When she comes to him at the Iron Horse bar, she turns his whole world upside down. Will Linc take this as the opportunity to have Jayde in his life or will things fall apart?
I gotta say that with every book, Jeanne St James takes us on a journey with the characters and the club. They both evolve and grow, learning from their mistakes and taking pride in their triumphs. Linc is a strong character that keeps a lot of himself closed off. He wants Jayde but doesn’t allow himself to go after her. Jayde knows Linc is it for her but he isn’t on board. They both change for the better. There is hilarious scene that had me howling. I love that Ms. James balances out the serious with these funny bits. I adore this series so much and knowing that it is almost over is hard. But I know Ms. James will make sure the club is in a good place before it ends. Thank goodness she is doing an off shoot series about Diesel’s Shadows.
I’m going to do a public service announcement before you start this book make sure you have completed the checklist. 1. A box of tissues 2. The biggest bottle of your favorite liquor because soda and juice want do you and good and forget the glass and drink straight from the bottle. 3. Make sure you set aside the whole day without any distractions because this book calls for all your attention. Once you have done that sit back and enjoy the beautiful emotions roller coaster ride. My emotions are wrecked I was so freaking happy for Zak and Linc took me by surprise. Linc is so much more than a biker he loves Jayde and as much as he tries to hide he has a big heart. Jayde is the one person who he wants to do right and be more for but he knows it comes with a huge problem one he is not willing to put Jayde through. Jayde took one look at Linc and knew she would do whatever it takes to have the love she sees her parents and brothers have. She just doesn’t know how to make Linc see that without losing her father. The one person I found myself liking was Mitch. In this book Mitch was different and it kills me to say this but he needs his own story now. My heart broken into a thousand pieces at one point. I’m not going to say anything else because it will ruin the story for you and this book is definitely worth reading I highly recommend this book you want be disappointed.
Amazing Story!
This book was amazing!
The Dirty Angels MC series keeps getting better with each book! It was a very well written emotional read! I loved Link and Jayde! They go through a lot to be together. From the first page until the end this book kept me reading! I couldn’t put it down!
Link was filled with drama, emotions, family drama, twists and turns that you won’t see coming!
Once again Jeanne has written a fantastic book other Dirty Angels MC series!
This book is so much more than a MC typical book. I mean yes, you have the alpha male, the motorcycle, the horrendous vocabulary, but this book had so much more. From the opening words that a man never wants to hear after a one night stand, to the very last sentence on the last page this book was a masterpiece. Emotional and beautifully written this is by far the best book in the series. Linc and Jayde have to go through hell and back but it is what they mean to each other and what they have to overcome that makes them one of the strongest duos in the entire MC. Bravo Jeanne St. James!! Bravo!!
I finished Linc and Jayde’s book over a week ago and it has taken me this long to put my review in order. I have been hooked on this series since the beginning but Linc’s book just took it to a whole other level of series addiction. I read it in less than a day and was an emotional mess throughout the whole book. It grabbed me with the very first sentence and I couldn’t put it down until the end. Jayde and Linc were perfect together, their chemistry is amazing. Another fan-freaking-tastic book from an absolutely awesome author.
Well, this is the first DAMC book to make me cry.
That scene in Crow’s tattoo shop was especially emotional.
I liked reading about the Jamison family, they do have a *complicated* relationship, which may be an understatement.
I won’t write about the plot, as it is spoilerish, just pick up the book if you are ready for an emotional ride.
Jeanne, please, pleeeease, continue torturing Diesel, that is my favorite part of your books. I just feel like he deserves it, and poor Jewel deserves it as well. 😀
As always, loved reading what the other characters have been up to and cannot wait to read more of Jeanne’s books.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is a 10 star read for me!! I loved everything about this difficult story. It was amazing, sad, funny, steamy and great. This MC series is one of my favorites. Linc and Jayde overcame leaps and bounds to end up where they did. I don’t want to spoil anything but do not pass this book up. Plus we get some major updates in past couples. D still makes me laugh out loud all the time. I’m also glad this story got into Z, Axel and Jaydes family. It was bound to come to a head and I’m glad we finally got to see what unfolded!! Now we wait patiently for Crow and D’s shadows!!!
This one has all the feels! 9 books in and this is by far still my favorites series. Each book just gets better and better in the series. They are all amazing go begin with. I have been waiting for Linc and Jayde’s story since the first book and even though it was hard waiting, it was definitely worth it! I am so excited for Crow’s story but at the same time I am not ready for the series to end. Thank you Jeanne St. James for continuing to share your gift of writing with us!
I’m sad. I’m pissed. 4.5 stars worth of both!
I’m sad because reading this phenomenal, surprisingly funny, heart pulling book in the DAMC series means I’m completely caught up and have to wait for more!
I’m pissed because Jeanne St. James always gets me!!! From the unexpected beginning to the twists, turns and wtf moments. She always keeps me guessing!
I don’t know why my brain hasn’t captured that she’s a master at her craft. But that she is.
Can’t wait for more!!
Down & Dirty: Linc by Jeanne St. James was an awesome read. This is the 9th book in the Down & Dirty series. This is the story of Linc and Jayde. Jayde’s great grandfather was one of the founding members of the DAMC (Dirty Angels MC), her father took the family away from the MC when his grandfather was killed and his father went to jail. Her oldest brother is now the MC President. Linc was a prospect when he first met Jayde. Now he is a full-patched member. Linc has been trying to avoid Jayde but one night at a DAMC wedding they got together. Will the MC’s problems with another MC prevent them from staying together? Will they get their HEA? You will need to read the book to get the answers. This book has suspense, action, emotional high and lows, and is a rollercoaster ride. I definitely recommend this book. I can’t wait to read the next book by the amazing Ms. St. James.
As always amazing. I love the down and dirty boys. Linc is amazing just something about him. I loved this storyline. Someone that he has wanted forever comes to him after one night with a huge surprise. He does not take it well at all. But soon realizes it is exactly what he needs in his life. But then something sad and tragic happens.I was on the edge of my seat. In tears and ready to throw my kindle. Heart wrenching moments you don’t see coming. Loved every page of this page turner. This series only keeps getting better and better. Hoping for more.
WOW Linc is awesome!! Like all of the brothers he his a rough bossy alpha male but underneath that gruff exterior he has a heart of gold and hes all about family and commitment!!!!
Both he and Jayde have a tough time in this book, its heart wrenching and heart warming and dont forget steaming hot!!! Make me laugh and cry!!
As always Jeanne St James has you hooked with her wonderful characters and action packed plot.
LOVE THIS SERIES
This book had me tearing up and hooked me from the very first line. It takes some skills to be able to pull that off. Jayde and Linc have you rooting for them from the very first book in the DAMC series. You will sit on pins and needles while reading this story. It makes you feel as you are actually part of their world.
