Dirty Beginnings

DIRTY BEGINNINGS by Laurelin Paige is a box set of three books. The books are the First book in a Duet Series. So you have the first book in Three Duet Series : Dirty Games Duet, Dirty Duet and Dirty Sweet Series. They each end with their own cliffhanger so you will need to find the next installment books by this author. I am a big fan of Ms. Paige’s writing. So this was a must have for me. These story starters are hot alpha males with the strong heroine, which are my reading candy. This is also a great way to get a taste of Ms. Paige’s writing if you have never read her books before.
Love that she is giving us the box set of starter reads for her Duet Series.

This series: . Can’t wait to read Cade’s story next year.

The main Characters-Sabrina and Donovan- were great together with out too many distractions. Their past history was believable! I didn’t want the story to end!

Dirty Filthy Rich Men
This book had one of the most intense scenes that I’ve ever read. Chapter 12. And they weren’t even in the same building. Day-um. When you finish a chapter and realize you’re breathing heavy and it’s a little awkward and you are soooo glad (and yet soooo disappointed) to be alone. Whoa. I’m also a little bummed that 5 Stars is the highest I can give.

So, in summary Sabrina has history with Weston, and with Donovan, but feels like she can handle it when she’s offered a job in their company. Sabrina is the type of take-charge heroine that I love to read about. She knows what she wants, and she goes after it, but she’s also real with a dash of self-doubt and the ability to communicate what she wants. Donovan is trying to be controlling, and Weston seems like the easy going guy that tries to go with the flow.

I died a little inside when I realized that there will be a second book, and this ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. September better hurry up…

Dirty Sexy Player
The entire time I read Dirty Filthy Rich Men, I was wondering what was going through Weston’s mind, and now I know! I felt like Weston was trying to figure out his place and when to stand up for himself and when to give in. He struggles with when to be an alpha with with and personal life. I loved Elizabeth but she set my teeth on edge a few times with the attitude, but I understand why she reacts the way she does. The ending in killer.

Sweet Liar
I loved Dylan and Audrey’s introduction. Audrey is a girl who goes after what she wants and Dylan isn’t able to say no. I’m going to need that second book ASAP to see how they come together again!

Wow, what can I say!! These books are stupendously good that you NEED to READ! All 5 stars!!!!!

DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN
This book is an absolute gem! It is dirty, provocative, scintillating, thrilling, and brilliant! From the very first page, I was spellbound by these fantastically described characters that you will find yourself falling in love with—or not. Oh, Donovan Kincaid you are so freaking sexy! And adorable in the hottest way, but very temperamental!! Being an alpha, he is not one to ask for anything—he tells you what he wants—very dominating. In ten years, Sabrina Lind has grown up from her days at Harvard, and after meeting Weston King again, she still thinks about Donovan. The chemistry between Sabrina and Donovan is off-the-charts hot!! The scenes are well written, fast-paced and flow smoothly from one scene to the next with lots of romance while the strong charismatic characters draw readers in and refuse to let go. So, if you like your romance with a dose of sweetness, a dab of the erotic and a pinch of fun, you will love this book. The book will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end.

DIRTY SEXY PLAYER
Wow, what can I say!! This book is stupendously good! It is dirty, provocative, entertaining, awe-inspiring, and brilliant that you NEED to READ! Weston King is so freaking sexy! And adorable with his dimple in the hottest way, but he is used to getting what he wants!! Weston comes from a wealthy family—he is tall, handsome, forthright, impudent, capricious, and also seductive. Weston is also known as a playboy. Weston has no quarrel with such faint praise as he has forever eschewed marriage, women, and anything remotely akin to love. Donavan made a proposition to Weston for a ‘fake’ marriage with Elizabeth Dyson in order to merge with her company to take over the European market. Elizabeth is considered arrogant at times, prudish, and she tries to be callous. Elizabeth cannot get access to her trust fund or take over her father’s company from her uncle until she is 29—with the exception that she marries. Both have their own reasons—it should be easy and simple, right—fake marriage with benefits of fun sex, friendship, and no strings attached—just business—right up Weston’s alley! Like the saying goes—what’s in it for me! Find out what happens next—will Weston and Elizabeth agree to the façade of a ‘fake’ marriage? Will this be too much for Weston to give up his playboy lifestyle? There are several twists and turns within the storyline that will pique your interest—you will not be disappointed.

SWEET LIAR
Loved it, loved it, loved it… this was an utterly fascinating masterwork of sweet, sexy, sophisticated and swoon-worthy romance. This taboo of a much older man/younger woman forbidden love story seems sordid, but once you become a part of their lives, the unpleasantness falls away. The story of Dylan Locke, who is hot and a sexy British, and Audrey Lind is scintillating. Audrey is feisty, sassy, and spirited heroine who has no qualms of making her presence known, but believes in love and fairytale endings. When Audrey approaches Dylan with a proposition, he is taken aback because of her candor. Dylan has sworn off relationships because of previous relationships. Because of Dylan’s age, he tries to distance himself from Audrey, but there is something so hypnotic and magnetic about her that he can’t stay away from her. Dylan is well aware that he is all wrong for her, but when he is with Audrey, he crosses that forbidden line each time he interacts with her. Everything about this couple screamed Hot! The chemistry between the characters was swift, hot, and palpable.

Laurelin Paige you did it with addictive, intriguing, and fascinating love stories that completely engross the reader. The storylines are quite unique, and the charismatic characters portray combustible chemistry, together and individually, that makes them feel genuine, natural and heartfelt. You won’t regret reading Dirty Beginnings!

Dirty Filthy Rich Men Original Review:

Damn! I loved to hate (and love) Donovan Kincaid! Wow! This book! All consuming! Could not put it down! I loved every word! I was addicted from the start!

We pick up right where we left off from the prequel novella which is included in the first book! Sabrina is about to see Weston for the first time since she left Harvard. And from there, things move quickly. Sabrina is back in the world she always wanted to be. But who does she want? Weston or Donovan? But at the end of the day, which one wants her?

Weston is everything she should want. But Donovan is what her dreams are made off. Though there is something there between Sabrina and Weston, what she feels with Donovan is unexplained and more than she ever thought. But Donovan has secrets. Can she have him? All of him?

This was a great book. I cannot wait for book 2! 5-stars!

Dirty Sexy Player Original Review:< Dirty Sexy Player by Laurelin Paige was originally released as an Audible Exclusive and I absolutely loved it. Not that it is getting ready to be released in eBook format, I am excited more people will get a chance to read Elizabeth and Weston’s story! We first met them in the Dirty duet and I could not wait to get their story because you just knew there was so much more going on there! Though this is a standalone based in the same world, I would highly recommend reading the duet, as it is an amazing read, but does not need to be read to enjoy Dirty Sexy Player. In Dirty Sexy Player, we find Weston and Elizabeth entering a marriage convenience orchestrated by Weston’s best friend. This marriage will allow Elizabeth to inherit and run the empire that should be hers by right and would allow Weston and his business partners to purchase the company they want. This was a business transaction where everyone wins. But being in this “relationship” would require Weston to behave. Which he is not used too. I could not wait to get Weston and Elizabeth’s story. You could see the sparks between them in the Dirty Duet. Though Weston and Elizabeth knew it was only a business deal, they find themselves in a push and pull relationship with sparks flying in every direction whey they are together. I loved their banter and how much they fought what they both really wanted. They were so good together and the unexpected feelings threw them for a loop. Weston was a player and never wanted to settle down. As a man who comes from wealth and privilege, he is used to getting whatever he wants when he wants. He could be a bit immature at times, but he was also a man with determination and full of sex appeal. Elizabeth is a woman from the same world as Weston but was a bit shy and not as experienced with men. But she was determined to succeed, though she needed Weston’s help to do so. I have to say I was surprised by the ending and it left me wanting book two now! OMG! I love Laurelin Paige. She is a great writer that brings us stories we love and that makes us feel. Which is why she is a must-read (and listen) author for me. Loved Dirty Sexy Player! It was sexy, slow burning and a great listen! Highly recommend it and book two is almost here! 5-stars! Sweet Lair Original Review: I first read Sweet Liar by Laurelin Paige when it appeared in her newsletter. In this story we meet Dylan Locke from the Dirty world and a business partner of Donovan, Nate and Weston. You do not have to read any of the other duets, however, they are all great stories as well and ones I highly recommend. This is a quick introduction to Dylan and Audrey and their steamy chemistry. Dylan Locke lives abroad and is very jaded after his divorce. He does not mind getting lost in a female, but relationships are not for him. He is determined to bond with his son and running his business. Then he meets Audrey Lind, Sabrina’s sister from the Dirty Duet. She is much younger than him and still idealistic and romantic. Someone he should definitely stay away from. But from their first meeting, their chemistry was explosive and undeniable. Audrey tests his resistance over and over. She is beautiful, honest and open. Dylan is older, wiser, and determined to sty away. Audrey finds him sexy and believes she could learn so much from him. But could one night be enough? Sweet Liar is an introduction to Dylan and Audrey’s story. It was a quick read that was sexy and steamy. Audrey and Dylan shared a strong connection, but both knew it was a fleeting thing. Can they walk away from each other? So excited to continue their story in Sweet Fate! 4-stars! Happy reading!

Dirty Filthy Rich Men
4.5 Stars
Laurelin Paige has done it again, I need more. I loved this story and these characters. This picks up right where the first one ended. There were many times I was ready to throw my kindle, get ready for a rollercoaster ride.

Sabrina hasn’t been able to stop thinking about Donovan even though they had a brief encounter ten years ago. She never really knew where she stood with him only that there was this pull to him she couldn’t understand. After a chance encounter with an old college crush leads her back to him.

Donovan loves to play games and doesn’t do relationships. He is constantly playing mind games with Sabrina and she is drawn right to them. Donovan is constantly going back and forth with Sabrina, one minute he wants her the next he pushes he away.

The chemistry between these two is off the charts, and talk about angst. The constant push and pull of the two will give you whiplash in the best way. I need more and can’t wait for the next book.

I love all of these books by Laurelin Paige, especially Sweet Liar and Dirty Sexy Player.

Laurelin Paige is a brilliant writer who mesmerizes us with her sensual stories of desire and passion that we can’t get enough of. The anticipation of each new book release is almost too much too bear.

“Sweet Liar” is an intriguing, spellbinding, intricately woven montage of pure desire between Dylan and Audrey. She believes in true love, soulmates, happy endings, instant attraction and complete devotion. Dylan knows that he shouldn’t want her, but he cannot stop the feelings from bubbling up inside of him. Avery is taboo: too young, too innocent, too starry eyed for a hardened man such as himself. She sees the world through rose colored glasses and he has a cold heart and does not believe in love. What could they possibly offer each other?

As I turned each page of “Sweet Liar” I became caught up in the cat and mouse sparring between Dylan and Audrey. They are like fire and ice; she is sunlight and pure, and he is dark and brooding. Their connection is volatile and akin to a match lighting a candle; it only intensifies as it gets hotter. Dylan and Audrey’s romance continues in “ Sweet Fate”, part two of the Dirty Sweet Duet. Will their dalliance withstand any obstacles they may encounter?
____________________________________________________________
“Dirty Sexy Player” may be about Weston and Elizabeth, but his mentor Donovan is an important player in this tale of business, lust and love. He convinced Weston that it was necessary for him to marry the heir to the Dyson empire so they could take control of the European advertising market. In fact, Donovan even manipulated Elizabeth into thinking that this was the only way she would ever gain control of her late father’s company. Donovan had them in the palm of his hand and after much discussion, they agreed to the fake marriage.

Weston is a powerful and successful businessman who always has a different woman on his arm because he knows what they like and how to please them.. He looks good in a suit, has sexy dimples and intoxicating blue eyes. He never thought about settling down but sometimes your life needs to change in order to add meaning to your existence. He was immediately attracted to Elizabeth’s beauty and brains, but did she have the business knowledge necessary to run an international company?

Elizabeth is in way over her head when it comes to business, love and who to trust. She had planned to study for her MBA so she would be qualified to take over the company but when her father died, everything changed. At first she thought Donovan was her intended groom, but of course it was the sexy, skirt chasing Weston who was her husband to be. She believed that inner strength and positivity can get a person through any situation and she was determined to save the company at all costs.

Laurelin Paige has blessed us with another page turning story of love, sex and power, which I read all in one night and couldn’t put down. We have followed Weston from his days at Harvard to his partnership with his best friend Donovan. He met his match when it came to Elizabeth and was unprepared for the changes in his life Where will their relationship go? We will soon find out in “Dirty Sexy Games”, part two in this tantalizing new duet.
