This wonderful first story by JA Low is hot, sexy, passionate, fun but also real!
This author knows how to develop each character so you feel like you really know them. Emotions explode throughout the book making the reader a part of the story. All of the band members are so lovable and the girls involved so different but intrinsic to the story. Evan and Sienna are a fabulous match.
I look forward to book 2.
Rockstar romances are among my favorites, but sometimes they hold so much pain that it is hard to recover emotionally from the read. Suddenly Dirty is just the right amount of pain, angst, desire, passion and plot to keep the pages turning without pause. Even and Si have both been burned hard in love. The pull to each other is fierce, but the push from the past just might be stronger. HEA is end game, getting there isn’t easy.

Nope. No, no, no. I will NOT finish reading this one.
Plot overview: Sienna gets dumped by her husband, so she accepts a job touring with Evan Wylde, slutty rockstar extraordinaire. Lots of sex ensues.
Had to DNF at 6%, y’all. I know there are tons of folks out there who would say, “But Jennifer, if you didn’t finish reading it, you have no business reviewing it.” To those folks I say, a) No one is the boss of me and I’ll review whatever I darn well please, b) If a book pisses me off so much that I feel a need to rant about it after reading 6%, well, there’s not much that’s going to stop me. #SueMe #SorryNotSorry and c) If this review saves even one reader from suffering through this unholy dumpster fire, then my effort will be worth it. You’re welcome.
So, here’s what made me DNF with EXTREME prejudice at 6%:
1. The prologue is completely redundant. I have no idea why it’s there at all. Prologues are generally annoying to me, but this one was especially bad since it was all repeated info later on in the story. (“Later on” being at 6% of the story. 6%!!)
2. In the 6% of the story I read, Evan got 2 blowjobs from random groupies. He pretty much treated them like crap, too, and didn’t really feel all that bad about it.
3. Sienna wakes up to a naked man strolling into what she thinks is her bedroom, and rather than avert her eyes and get out of there, she can’t tear her gaze away from his apparently hypnotic penis, and starts jerking off this complete stranger. She’s apparently an idiot with no self-preservation skills, because if Evan had been an ugly naked guy who’d wandered into her room at night, it’d be an episode of Criminal Minds instead of a hot fantasy. But because he’s hot, I’m guessing she just knew he wasn’t a rapist, huh? Ugh.
4. Sienna witnesses Evan getting a blowjob from a random groupie, then has sex with him a few minutes later. Gross!! At this point I can’t even see Evan as a hot, tattooed rocker. All I can think of him as is a walking, talking, strain of antibiotic-resistant syphilis.
5. In only 6% of the story, Evan has destroyed Sienna’s leggings and an expensive pair of panties. Guys, you can take things off of women. You don’t have to destroy them.
6. Sienna might be the least mature 30 year old heroine I’ve ever read about. And don’t even get me started on Evan “syphilis-ridden manwhore” Wylde. I have no tolerance for that crap.
So, long-story-short, I don’t really care what happened after the 6% mark of the book. The part I read was enough to make me immediately add this book and the series to my “burn it and send it to hell” pile. But hey, if you’re into shallow, narcissists who don’t know the difference between sexy and slutty, then this might be for you.
*4 Stars*
This was my first JA Low book, and it certainly won’t be my last. I really liked being in the Dirty Texas world, and getting to know these characters.
Evan and Sienna are great together, and at first its just the chemistry, but once they start getting to know each other and spending more time together its fab. It was kind of funny at times watching Evan get all jealous even though he wasn’t supposed to be, given the agreement they had come to.
The secondary characters in this book, and there are many wonderful ones, really help make the story a great one as well. I loved all the other band members and staff members and I can’t wait to read their stories as well. There is some great setup in this for future couples, so to say I’m curious is an understatement.
I really enjoyed this one and I look forward to more!
I just found out this was J.A. Low’s first book. Well, you wouldn’t be able to prove that by me nor by what I read. This rock star romance literally hit it out of the park. We have Sienna who’s had more than her fair share of troubles but she’s still the good girl. Then you have Evan Wyld, the ultimate gorgeous guitarist in a band bad boy. The characters are well developed, the sub-characters are even up to par. The plot runs through seamlessly. The love/sex scenes are well placed and believable. Everything is so relatable you’ll feel like you were there. I like the way this author writes and will definitely continue with the remainder of this series.
4.5 stars
Great storyline, lots of angst, laughter, characters with some depth and one of those books that keeps you turning pages.
So much can happen in the space of a day. Diamonds for her birthday, a party that night and a surprise like no other. It seemed Sienna had the surprise thing down to a fine art. Imagine laying in bed after a few drinks only to be joined by a large male. Soon to be identified as Evan Wyld her crush, client and rockstar from the band Dirty Texas. This is rather awkward and what happens to the no fraternising between staff? Think we’ll throw that rule out for a night, or maybe two. With the promise of no more when the tour starts.
The European Tour begins in London, Sienna seems to of left all of her troubles behind and is ready for a new chapter. She is single and ready to mingle, yep she can ignore the groupies pawing Evan. The real question is can he ignore the attention this sexy little blond has gained from the opposite sex? They both have a lot to say but you know that old saying all talk no action. Evan goes with the lets make Sienna jealous route or just keep cock-blocking her. Just as they are finding their way the past comes back and causes friction. Will Evan and Sienna get their happy ending, depends on the paparazzi.
I so love the element of surprise, when the couple ends up in a compromising position right from the start!
Sienna Hayes day has just gotten very interesting! Could you imagine waking up and finding a handsome man in your bed? Oh and did I happen to mention that he is the lead guitarist and writer for one of the hottest bands on the circuit!
Evan is no stranger to finding beautiful women warming his bed when he wakes in the morning. He has no idea what a ride he is in for with Sienna and what she brings to the table. She is sweet, lovely, sassy and toting a boat load of baggage from her past.
Their attraction in immediate but Sienna is so off limits but we will get to that! It is soon apparent that they can not resist ….so lets puts rules and set boundaries for this “relationship” or non-relationship !
Sienna is a stylist and her connections soon hit home to Evan ! The dirty talking Evan is going to turn on the charm to see if Sienna cracks and she certainly puts up a good fight but please ladies he is a handsome, irresistible rock star! Even Sienna is only human!
Grab a copy and enjoy the ride!!

First time reading this author, someone shared that it was free for a week so I thought why not! Love trying out new authors books. Happy to say I was glad I did. Fun sassy sexy meet cute book and I read it in one sitting. Kept me interested, threw me for a couple loops. Wouldn’t mind looking into more books by her. According to good reads it was a two hour read not the 5.5 amazon suggested lol
So one of my fav genres is rock stars and to say that this book was good would be an understatement.
I frigging loved this book it had everything, rock band full of rock gods, it was dirty sexy, there was angst, drama. It was the full package for me.
The story line as fantastic and I loved the writing it was easy to read and drew you in from the start.
I loved Sienna’s sexiness, she was sassy and I loved her character. Evan sounded so sexy and I just loved the personality of his come through the writing.
Again I loved everything about ‘this book from start to finish and I didn’t want it to end, so glad I can go straight into the novella.
I’m the sort of person who likes to have a break between books that are in a series, I’m not sure why but it’s what I do.
For some reason I went straight into the novella for this Dirty Texas series I didn’t get enough of Sienna and Evan so I just went straight in. I needed more I loved these characters.
I love it when you finish the first book but you don’t get enough of the couple being together you always want more and I was more than ecstatic that we got more of this couple.
I loved reading there complete happy ending and seeing there future. The writing was fantastic, this novella had, romance, hot sex, made you laugh and cry it was perfect
Loved this novella and if you haven’t read Suddenly Dirty do yourself a favour and go grab it now
For a debut novel this was pretty good. The beginning was a little hard to keep up with, the timeline got confusing. The hypocritical jealously got a bit old. Evan wanted everything, the groupies and her it seemed. The story line is good, they both had past relationships that scarred them. The bonds they had with their friends and family was really good. J.A. Low has something good starting here 🙂 I can’t wait to dive into Suddenly More.
Evan is a typical rock star with a crazy lifestyle. Sienna is an all around good girl that ends up in bed with him. A wild ride ensues for this couple. The only thing I didn’t care for was the flash between the past and present. Overall a good read if you can overlook a few editing issues.
This book truly starts off with a bang. Sienna Hayes, newly divorced and looking to make a new start in life, wakes up to find rock star and new boss Evan Wyld in her bed. It doesn’t hurt that he is her celebrity crush either.
Even though the sexy Sienna is supposed to be off limits, Evan can’t seem to play by the rules where she is concerned. While both agree to a secret and temporary fling, their off the charts chemistry and burgeoning friendship keep them both coming back and wanting more. Both Sienna and Evan have serious baggage from past relationships that make trust and commitment difficult to come by. Is it possible for their fling to become more?
Suddenly Dirty was a lot of fun to read. The characters are sexy and witty and have great rapport with one another. It’s a wild read hanging out with the band and living the rock star life through JA Low’s story telling. However, even though they are partiers, I really enjoyed that there was something more to each member of Dirty Texas. JA Low did a great job of making the stuff of fantasies have a real life feel to it . . . allowing the reader to remember that they are normal people once you get past their bad boy façade. The side characters are just as amazing as Evan and Sienna and I can’t wait to keep reading more of this series to get to know the rest of the band.
Suddenly Dirty was a super hot and steamy read. I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from the author. Thanks for the Wyld ride JA Low!
5 stars!
Sienna is a beautiful woman who’s been happily married for 10 years then on the night of her birthday her perfect-ish world is blown apart!! After that the hits keep coming for her & when her bff since childhood offers her & her male bff and business partner a styling job on a music tour of Europe, the chance to escape Australia & all the awfulness is too good to be true!!
Evan is lead guitarist for the world’s biggest band ‘Dirty Texas’. He’s known as a sex god & has a different groupie every night of the tour, he’s lived like this for a decade & though it gets old he refuses to risk his emotions getting involved ever again!!
The scene is set for fireworks
This is a really enjoyable Rockstar read!! I’d definitely recommend it but with a side note:
**It may get your hackles rising at times as his behaviour in front of Sienna, after their agreed month long exclusive hookup is over, is utterly selfish & hypocritical!! He does NOT actually cheat but it’s a bit teeth gnashing. Lol**
It is definitely worth reading though. It’s a hot n fun read with great side characters that I intend to go & read about next!!

Decent but predictable story line. Terrible editing – seems they only used spell check but didn’t actually read it. Lots of incorrect words – example – the word in the book was mopping when it should have been moping…
