Abigail Haddock is stunning, sensible, and some would say…stuffy. But it’s not really her fault. She was raised in one of Wessco’s oldest, most affluent, aristocratic families—“stuffy” is their middle name. So is successful. Abby’s working overtime to distinguish herself as a top-notch physician, just as her family legacy demands.
She doesn’t have time for nonsense.
Tommy Sullivan’s all about … Sullivan’s all about nonsense.
Sure, he’s an elite bodyguard with lethal skills and co-owner of the renowned, S&S Securities Firm—protector of the wealthy and titled. But he’s also rowdy, fun and thoroughly irresistible.
Tommy knows how to have a good time, and he’s never seen someone more in need of a good time than Abby. The lass needs long, wet, filthy kisses—STAT—and he’s just the man for the job.
It doesn’t take long for a wildly sexy, sinfully satisfying, no-strings attached arrangement to turn into something more. Something sweet and addictive and real. But Tommy and Abby are too royally stubborn to admit it.
Opposites attract, everyone knows that. But can their red-hot relationship last—can they love…for forever?

***I was generously provided with an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for my fair and honest review***
I am a huge fan of Emma Chase! I love her characters, their banter, their complex emotions and backgrounds. I have read her entire backlist and she is an immediate one click author for me. I have wanted Tommy’s story since Royally Screwed and I am so happy that my favorite snarky bad boy finally met his match! Abby is from a stuffy family and is extremely organized and rigid. She is singleminded in her focus on her career, which those around her can see hurts more than it helps. She reminded me a bit of Sarah Von Titebottom from Royally Matched, but where Sarah was quiet and shy, Abby is confident and determined. When Tommy and Abby are together the page sizzles. They are a truly combustible couple with all the ups and downs that comes with that kind of passion. I loved the little visits we got with our old friends in Wesco, this book gave me all the feels! Reading it felt like coming home.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.
I found DIRTY CHARMER to be an enertaining read. It’s ideal for when you want lighter entertainment between heavier reads.
When smooth-talking, easy going Tommy Sullivan first claps eyes on Abby Haddock, the attraction is instantaneous. He’s ready to explore this attraction, but cautious, over-achieving Abby needs some time to consider his offer. Well, thankfully, she’s all in, because those two are hot stuff!
Abby and Tommy certainly have their differences; their personalities, their backgrounds and their attitudes, but once together, I appreciated how well they fit in all manner of ways. Conflict typically came from external sources and I liked how the author dealt with their story. Nothing was swept under the carpet or conveniently forgotten. It felt real.
This book is set in a fictitious country and I do wish a clearer explanation had been given about the setting. Apart from this minor niggle, the book reads well as a stand alone within a series of interconnected books.
„Perhaps I wasn’t precisely happy, but I was satisfied. Then Tommy Sullivan came along… and he changed all my plans.”
Not gonna lie, as soon as I met Tommy in Royally series I was very hopeful that Emma would write his story. This funny and entertaining guy immediately caught my attention and I was wondering what kind of woman would be able to tame him. My wish was granted and I couldn’t be more happy about the outcome! Dirty Charmer is simply phenomenal. Opposites attract, filled to the brim with off-the-charts chemistry, combined with Emma’s signature humor and flawless writing style is the recipe for an amazing read that’s impossible to put down!
Tommy Sullivan is the type of guy you fall in love instantly. He’s cocky, easy-going, fun to be around. Flirting comes to him as easily as telling dirty jokes, but don’t be fooled. He’s also a walking weapon that will destroy you with a snap of his finger if you’ll ever cross him. He’s caring, loving and very protective of his close ones. He leads an uncomplicated life, free of commitments and drama, but he’s also able to see when something more meaningful enters his life. And he’s determined to keep and cherish it.
Abby is a character I needed time to warm up to. At first, she seems to be a stuffed and uptight woman whose life is a well-structured schedule. In her everyday life there’s no time for spontaneity and fun. Her goals and aspirations require a lot of time and dedication and because of the family she was born into she has also a certain image to uphold.
Their first interaction was completely swoon-worthy. It’s no wonder that none of them could forget about it. However, it took a long time and pondering for things between them to gather momentum. But when they finally gave in to the sizzling chemistry and passion, sparks were flying from all directions!
Dirty Charmer is a beautiful story that shows that love can’t be scheduled. It shows up suddenly and in the least expected moment. And even though the person for whom your heart beats seems to be your complete opposite, that person can bring the perfect balance to your life. Abby and Tommy’s story is an excellent combination of feels, steam and fun. The perfect Emma Chase’s mix!
Dirty Charmer is a new spin-off novel from Emma Chase’s Royally series! If you love opposites attract romance with awesome banter, this one’s for you. Plus it has cameos by your favorite Royally Series characters. Available now.
I’ve looked forward to Tommy Sullivan’s story since his first flirty wink in book one of Emma Chase’s Royally Series. Dirty Charmer couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Just when finding a book to hold my interest for more than a few chapters seemed hopeless, in swaggered Tommy focusing the full force of his considerable charms on Abby Haddock, who challenged him like no other woman ever had.
As all Emma Chase books have done, Dirty Charmer immediately sucked me in and held me enthralled from beginning to end. It was a wonderful, long overdue feeling, and I relished every moment.
I adored Tommy and Abby as a couple. An elite bodyguard from a middle class, boisterous clan and a strait-laced physician with a stuffy, affluent family seemed an unlikely pair. Tommy was fun and playful and Abby serious and totally career focused. As different as night and day, yet they were perfect together in every way. Each completed the missing parts of the other.
As expected, characters from the previous books were featured throughout. It was wonderful catching up with them, as well as getting to know the new characters introduced. Abby’s best friend was hilarious and a delightful scene stealer.
Dirty Charmer ran the spectrum. It was gripping, emotional, heartwarming, fun, and extra-steamy. It was well worth the wait. I loved it.
I love opposites attract romances! Emma Chase knows how to write the most endearing stories with amazing banter and hot chemistry – I just love it!
This is the sort of read that’s perfect to lose yourself in. Emma Chase has paired up a blue-blooded lass determined to prove herself to her high-achieving family and the medical field and a red-blooded security specialist who’s equally determined to dirty up the aforementioned lass and has come up with a highly likable twosome. The story itself carries with it the familiar vein of opposites attracting–two people from different parts of society with very different personalities–and delving into lust and finding love in the process, but that added touch of wit and Chase’s own engaging writing made this a winner of a read. I seriously hope that we haven’t seen the last of S&S Securities because the author has more than piqued my curiosity, so fingers crossed. Five stars for Dirty Charmer.
Why do I have a thing for bodyguards? There’s probably a support group I should join. If you love them too, and some of the most clever, witty banter around, this one’s for you. LOVE!
Super sexy and wicked hot chemistry… Opposites attract romance. This is a fun romp filled with tons of steam!
Dirty Charmer is an opposites attract romance with 2 really great characters. Tommy is a rough around the edges bodyguard and Abby is a well bred lady doctor. Seriously, they have nothing in common! But, they both need each other in different ways.
Tommy is a relentless flirt and Abby is very unaccustomed to that. It’s sweet how easily Tommy talks about his feelings for Abby (even when most of the feels are dirty ones). Everything with him is ‘right there’. He doesn’t filter himself. He doesn’t hide who or what he is or where he came from. It was really great to see a hero who isn’t closed off and secretive.
Abby is a planner. She is a high achiever. Her family is titled, and that comes with a lot of expectations. Abby has always felt she wasn’t as successful as her family wanted her to be or expected from her. She pushes herself to be better than perfect and yet, they never seem proud of her. This has made Abby very self conscious and closed off. Tommy is never put off by this though, and just keeps continuing to make dirty suggestions!
There was a bit of a communication struggle at times. This annoyed me. I wanted Abby to just tell Tommy. They had been together for months and she had shared secrets with him, but one event happens and she is shutting him out. I wanted to SHAKE HER!
Dirty Charmer will delight fans of the opposites attract trope and those who like lots of sexy times. Tommy will having you swooning hard and you will love every dirty minute of this Dirty Charmer!
I absolutely LOVED Emma Chase’s Royally series, and am still holding out hope for some second generation books to happen in Wesco ~ or would it actually be third generation at this point??? Love me so,e Queen Lenora! Dirty Charmer is a new spin off of this series. Tommy & Abby introduce us to a new Bodyguard series that I wasn’t expecting, but adored none the less!

Dirty Charmer was a sweet, sassy & super sexy read. A sinfully hot, super alpha falls in love with a beautiful, career driven doctor. They both have family baggage in different ways that complicates life along the way. There was a smile on my face throughout this book. We got to visit with some of my favorite royals and were introduced to some new characters that I can’t wait to read more about. Dirty Charmer was a definite page turner.

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
Another instalment in the Royally series, about another one of the bodyguards/security members. This time we get Tommy, and if you’ve read the other books you will be familiar with him.
Tommy is a pretty cool character, and is definitely a rough around the edges kind of guy. When he cares about someone though, he’s all in, and he loves hard. Abby comes from an aristocratic family and so she has been raised in a completely different atmosphere to Tommy, and they are basically complete opposites. One thing they do have in common is their determination.
An interesting ride between these two, with a fair bit of push and pull. some great secondary characters, but some villainous ones as well.
Another great addition to this series.
This was quite a lighthearted humorous 5 star read. It took me a couple of chapters to get set in the story but after I was hooked.
Tommy works security for the rich and famous. He’s not suppose to be attracted to the ones he guards. Abby is focused on being the best heart surgeon there is so she doesn’t have time for love.
This was a funny and romantic story that was VERY entertaining and lighthearted. Tommy was quite the character that was laid back to the serious Abby. They balanced each other out. A solid page turner. Bottomline this is a must read.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.
My goodness. It is so easy to love an Emma Chase book! Dirty Charmer is a fun, sexy, wildly entertaining read that will make you laugh and melt your heart.
The fifth book in the Royally series follows the story between Dr. Abby Haddock and Tommy Sullivan – whom we met previously. Living in the shadows of her extraordinary family, Abby’s sole focus and determination was to be the best surgeon in Wessco. However, when the hospital’s chief administrator tells her she’s too high-strung, Abby must find a way to let out some steam. Enter Tommy Sullivan. Her former bodyguard who made it very clear that he wants her. They enter a no commitment arrangement and it’s straight up delicious.
I loved Tommy and Abby. They’re so great together. Complete opposites but they compliment each other perfectly. Their banter was magnificent and their chemistry was red hot.
Tommy often rides the line between flirty and inappropriate. But he gets away with it because of his charm, humor and his looks. If you’ve read Emma Chase’s Tangled series, than you’re very familiar with Drew Evans and his cocky, unapologetic, unafraid ways. I see a lot of Drew in Tommy. Let me tell you, that’s not a bad thing.
So yes. I really enjoyed this one. If you want a fun and steamy read that will make you laugh, swoon and have you reaching for a glass of ice water, Dirty Charmer is for you.
I totally didn’t know that it connects with the Royally Series. You guys don’t know how happy I got. Lol u2063

Tommy is a keeper! He’s a bodyguard so definitely a keeper. Lol He got me swooning so much. He’s so sweet, hot, definitely a dirty talker, and he knows what he wants. Abby’s character is totally the opposite of Tommy. Her goals is to become the top surgeon. She knows her priorities, but when Tommy came into her world, everything changes. The chemistry between them was EVERYTHING. There were some parts that I laughed so hard. Want I wanted to see more was him being a bodyguard. But other than that, totally recommend it. Another awesome read by Emma. u2063
Emma Chase is one of my all time favorite authors and I am always extremely excited when she releases a new book. I was so fortunate to have received an ARC of Dirty Charmer. I LOVE the Royally Series so of course, Dirty Charmer has been a long time going. I freaking fell in complete love (and lust) with Tommy Sullivan. I absolutely loved his character in the Royally Series and man, my love for him increased tremendously. Tommy didn’t change – what you see is what you get and it is one of the best traits he possesses. He is so damn straight forward. He has no filter and isn’t afraid to say exactly what is on his mind (That’s a damn turn on). I loved that he was exactly this way for Abby because he is the man she needed. Abby had that fire inside her the entire time and she needed this Dirty Charmer to bring it out of her (oh and he did).
I can’t wait for the other books in this series. I’m always excited to catch up with previous characters who become such a big part of your own life with their stories. Emma always delivers such fantastic story with characters we hold close to our hearts. Dirty Charmer will have you laughing (out loud) and feeling all hot and bothered the next. Thank you Emma for this amazing book.
This book came across my stack at the perfect time. It was quick, fun, and was a fun return to this royal world. This has appearances by several of the characters from the Royally series, and as such was a fun return to Wessco.
Abby Haddock has her schedule planned with no time for frills. Trying to live up to the family expectations and her own desires, she is working her way to being a surgeon. But her focus leaves little time for anything else.
Tommy Sullivan is all about fun, except when it comes to building the security business he runs with his best mate, Logan. He can see that she needs to let loose, and would love to be the one to convince her to have some fun.
Their paths crossed once briefly, just long enough to form a single memory. When their paths cross a second time, it seems the perfect opportunity to find some no strings attached fun. But the no-strings aspect of their relationship is tested when they start to catch feelings. Family is important to both of them, for different reasons, so what happens to the no-strings fun if both families are not sold on the match?
I loved watching these two form their friendship and then build a relationship. They are a great balance, pushing and pulling their opposite personalities. I loved Tommy from the start. He’s always up for fun, but also knows what he wants and goes for it. Abby took me a little longer to warm up to, but only because I already loved Tommy so much that I wanted her to give him a chance.
It wasn’t overly angsty or dramatic, relying on the building relationship between them for most of the plot movement. But they do have pressure from their families to sort through, which made for some interesting back and forth as they figured out how to bridge the differences.
YES YES YES!!!! had me swooning like crazy!!!
I loved this book so much! Tommy was everything!!!! Tommy was someone who went after what he wanted, and when he first met Abby he knew he wanted her no matter what. Abby was someone I loved so much as well, she closed herself up and made her job her #1 priority.
She never expected to meet Tommy and have him turn her life upside down. Tommy makes Abby want things she never thought she wanted, he makes her live, and makes her want to be more than just her career. What I loved most about this book was how Tommy never once judged Abby, he just showed her other things her life was missing. The chemistry between these two was off the charts, these two just had me on the edge of my seat wanting more!!
This book is a must read, Emma seriously wrote a book that will have readers swooning and loving the hero so much!!
Dr. Abigail Haddock has 2 more years of her surgical residency, nothing is going to stand in her way of reaching her dream !! Not even a sexy, handsome body guard name Tommy Sullivan .. hmmmmm boy does he look familiar ?? I know those lips ?? Yes that is the one man I could never get out of my mind after one, yes just after one KISS .. 2 YEARS AGO !! With all of the studying and long hard hours at the hospital to achieve her dream job, Abby doesn’t get to get out much but after that kiss nothing would or could compare.
Tommy is contracted to guard Abby while her dad is in a case for two weeks and he has stricked laws that he follows .. NO funny business with the clients. But .. after the two weeks are up let the games begin !!
Abby knows she can’t get involved with anyone that is has to be all work and no play but when her superiors tell her she needs to get a stress relieve Tommy is just the one to be her helper. No strings, friends with benefits .. just the way Tommy likes it.
Can they stick to the rules or will family get involved and break them apart OR will LOVE stand out over everything .. Schooling, Work and FAMILY ??
This installment of Royalty is just that a ROYAL treat !! Loved it !! I5 was great seeing everyone .. Henry oh that Henry !!
