These guys have got to be the most obnoxious group of people I have ever read about I wanted to punch this one in the face so badly, I could feel it!!! But I did end up loving the story overall, and I loved that she stood up to him too. One thing I’d say, and this applies to book 1 as well, the stories are fairly short, and while the characters are great, there isn’t much development in the relationship department. So if you’re looking for more of that, you may get disappointed here.
A FILTHY ENGAGEMENT (Filthy Line Book 2) by Jaxson Kidman
Dex is a guitarist member of Filthy Line. He is over the top and trouble with a capital T. After his second arrest in one evening, his reps have a meeting with him in a coffee cafe to explain he needs to clean up his act or at least look like he is. If it looks like he is engaged, it could settle his reputation down. He grabs Candice the barista, who is having none of his “star stuff” and he decides she is who he wants to be fake engaged to. He is totally intrigued with this down to earth girl and she is perplexed, attracted and maddened with him. Dex is sensitive, but thinks he needs to live the rock and roll life, has to have the women, the drinking, and everything else that goes with the life. I love these two and this story. It has drama, lots of great banter, lots of interaction with the other Line members, and some blazing hot chemistry. Grab this and read it as it is a very enjoyable 5 star read!
Filthy Line #2 this one is about Dex and Candice. Dex is a member of the Band Filthy Line and can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Meeting the bands agent and lawyers to clean up his image. They meet In a coffee shop and he meets Candice the barista. The chemistry and sparks fly immediately. Can’t wait for the next one.
These characters had me laughing, and it was good to be reacquainted with them once again. I enjoyed the storyline, but was hoping for more of the raw heartfelt words that give me all the feels. I guess Jaxson’s earlier books were so damn good and I wanted more of that.
In a last ditch effort to keep Dex from facing some jail time, his manager comes up with the idea of a fake engagement. They could set up interviews and pick the perfect candidate, but Dex already met her. Candy, his sweetie at the cafe, the one who doesn’t fall at his feet because he’s a rockstar. Getting her on board is not going to be easy and because he’s an a$$hole he tests her limits.
Candice is a barista and is living in her sister’s basement. It’s not exactly how she planned her life to go, but it is what it is and who says it’s permanent. Her sister is little miss perfect and expects Candice to take a hold of her life and return to her ex. He still texts her, although she isn’t biting, as far as she is concerned it’s done. Hoping if she takes the offer as a fake fiancé it will make him realise it’s over.
After taking it a little too far, Dex decides it’s not far enough. Aah, the life of a rock star, and not just any rock star, but a member of FILTHY LINE. Dex is just getting started. Once again he’s proved to himself that love and relationships are nothing but headaches and problems. Good thing he’s a rock star because with endless Line Whore’s vying for his attention, love never has to enter the equation. Or so he thought.
BAD BOY ROCKER IN TROUBLE AGAIN. Dex messed up big time, this time, and Toby needs to do damage control. Control was something Dex did, not have done to him. Unless…Candice’s first run in with Dex was a disaster. After what apparently had been a long night for him, Candice meets the rock star face to face and decides, almost immediately, that he’s trouble with a capital T. She is definitely right and she would soon find out why. What began as damage control would become more than he could handle, but exactly what Dex needed.
