Crystal Kaswell is a new author for me, but based on her Dirty Deal, I’m promising myself that we will become well acquainted. This is really the perfect “steamy Cinderella story with a demanding alpha hero and an inexperienced yet strong heroine” promised by its publisher’s blurb. The novel truly is, quite simply, wonderful. It had just what I wanted and was well written and with a great plot and great cast of characters. Kay and Blake are perfectly crafted and their supporting cast is also superb. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend.

Great read
Dirty Deal
By: Crystal Kaswell
Narrated by: Virginia Rose
Once again, Crystal Kaswell pulls me in and steals my heart. Her stories are always heartfelt and entertaining but have depth, and relevant issues being dealt with. Blake Sterling literally runs into Kat, and ends up offering her a job she just can’t refuse. With bills to pay and an education starting for her sister, the offer is just too good to pass up. This modern day Cinderella story delves deeper than the prince finding his princess though. Most people think just because there is money, there is happiness and peace. We find out just how damaged and dysfunctional life really is for the Sterlings and how the average, everyday Kat has the magic to heal him. It’s steamy from the beginning, and their chemistry off the charts. Parts will make you smile, cry, and frustrate you, but the journey through is so worth it! I love Blake and Kat and the deal is well worth the price.
Virginia Rose is a consummate storyteller. I love her narration and every time I listen to her, she is absolutely amazing. She brings in the perfect amount of emotion and angst, nails the steamy scenes and just makes us feel. I love her!

Dirty Deal (Dirty Rich Series Book One) is a contemporary fairytale romance with a torrent of sensual elements. This romance is told in first person pov. This is a lengthy audiobook with fortitude, turmoil and family. The characters are engaging
and unalloyed.
Narrator Virginia Rose’s performance was smooth and effusive, I loved it. Her inflection hit all the right sentiments in the right places. A entertaining portrayal bringing out the characters and their romance in a realistic way.
I enjoyed the storyline and the audio made it even better.
Fantastic Story & Narration Steamy & Heartfelt!
Dirty Deal
By: Crystal Kaswell
Narrated by: Virginia Rose
Wow, I thoroughly enjoy this book, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive straight to the end. Crystal Kaswell is a gifted author, I love her writing style and the stories she creates. Her characters are realistic and easy to relate to and connect with. Kat Wilder lost her parents in a car accident, she almost lost her younger sister too but thankfully she survived. Kat took her care of her since, always looking out for her best interest even if it was at the expense of her own. Struggling to make ends meet she is looking for another waitressing job, trying for the higher end restaurants for the better paying positions. Not having any luck she is hurrying to her current job when she collides with a hard body and gets knocked off of her feet. Blake Sterling, tech billionaire, helps Cat back up and walks her to her job. The next time she see him he is sitting in her section where she works and he has a proposition for her, he wants her to be his wife for six months to a year in exchange he’ll pay her mortgage, offer her sister a scholarship and then million dollar payout when the marriage dissolves. The one catch is there will not be any love, sex yes, but only when she wants it and he is sure she will want to. Blake is one arrogant alpha male but Kat seriously considers the offer and thinking of how the money will make everything so much easier for her and her sister, basically she would do anything to make sure her sister got not only what she needed but wanted too. But can she do this without developing feelings for Blake, she thinks she can and goes for it. I loved the chemistry between Blake and Kat, she has a heart of gold and you knew she was not going to be able to keep her feelings out of the relationship. Blake really did not know how to love, he worked, never had an emotional relationship with a woman, either he was incapable of having one or he just thought he was not worth of love. While he could not see it he did know how to love, the reason why he was doing the whole fake marriage was proof of that. But he just could not see it, but when he suffers a great loss he realizes what Kat was to him, she was his light. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and there is never a dull moment. There is plenty of drama, angst, emotional and heartfelt moments, some hot kink and a slow burn real romance. Crystal Kaswell, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the Audible edition, Virginia Rose is a fantastic narrator and versatile voice artist. She did an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality as well as heart and attitude. She captured the characters true persona as well as their emotions which is heard in her performance. She is a natural talent and an entertaining storyteller. Thank you for another awesome listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your work.
Can love heal a hardened Alpha heart?
Alpha Male is one of my favorite reads. Crystal writes them well. Kat needs money and Blake not only it, but has an offer she almost cannot refuse. Lots of HEAT in this book! Still fanning myself.
“I tried to deny it. That possibility of never seeing you again cut me some place I’ve never hurt before. That would have been the worst mistake of my life.” He slides his hand around my waist. “I love you.” I hook my arms around his shoulders. Something to help me stay upright. Blake loves me. Blake loves me. Blake loves me. I’m the luckiest girl in the whole fucking world. “I love you, too,” I say. His lips find mine. It’s as hot as any of our other kisses, but there’s more to it than heat. All his love is pouring into me. All my love is pouring into him. He’s mine. And I’m his. And it’s perfect.
This is the story that got me hooked on Crystal Kaswell’s books and I have never looked back. I loved it when it first came out and I love it even more the 2nd time around. Blake had such an awful childhood and needs Kat to be his fake wife before his mother dies. He claims he will never fall in love, but realizes that he cannot lose Kat. And dear Kat, she loves him with all her heart and is such a good person to help him deal with his demons and move past them. A must read story.
I really enjoyed this story and the characters were great. I read this story in one day as I couldn’t put it down.
She lost her parents three years ago and now she is struggling to make ends meet how can she pay the mortgage and her sister fees at NYU when she is only earning waitress wages and let alone the fact that she has had to give up her own studies So when a chance meeting with Blake a tech billionaire leads to an offer of a fake marriage for 6 months to a year why does she even hesitate. Blake tells her that he is incapable of love so she knows no emotionally involvement will occur or will it. Will these two damaged souls realise what they have before they destroy
This was one of those books that once you started it you didn’t want to put it down I would highly recommend to anyone

Kat and Blake had amazing chemistry together! I loved how the story flowed and carried me with it. Kat had me rooting for her and Blake made me want to strangle him a few times. The sexy scenes had me fanning myself from the heat! I am a lover of Crystal Kaswell’s writing and this book was no exception!!! I can’t wait for more!
Being the person that all others rely on and you are at the end of all your luck, in walks a man that can solve all your problems, all you have to do is marry him. Blake’s deal has Kat wearing designer dresses and looking the part of a billionaire wife, as long as she follows through she will have secured her families future. How hard can it be to get her picture taken and act like the world revolves around Blake. Kat thinks it’s a great deal, she will have no problem pulling this off, even if she can never get a read on Blake. Kat can’t seem to figure out how he can make her so hot when he is so cold. When she’s with him she wants to obey everything that he says he wants her to do, but can she fall into his bed without falling in love with Blake, you will have to read and see. This book is a real page turner, it kept me on the edge of my sit, never knew what would happen next.
I gotta say, this book was everything and nothing like I expected. I could not put it down once I started it and did not want it to end when I got there. Stand-alone, romance with a HEA. A captivating very well written read! An intense emotionally heartfelt story-line that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout this beautifully written story!

Cinderella does not need to be rescued. Prince Charming does not believe in love. Dirty Deal is a modernization anti fairytale. Kaswell breathes new life into my favorite love story. Fantasy gets a facelift and feels almost as good as the first time.
