Battle lines were erased as enemies became lovers. But now we’re in the fight of our lives – we’re battling a smear campaign as he runs for governor. And again, we find ourselves drawn to do what we do best. I won’t … drawn to do what we do best. I won’t be controlled, even by the man who owns my heart. But as tensions escalate to a boiling point, I discover there is one place I like checking my defiance – the bedroom.

Great book, great series. Chelle Bliss is a wonderful writer, have read all of her books.
Reagan and Jude and their hot sexy banter and chemistry are at it again. I cant say enough good about this book.
I absolutely fell in love with Jude and Reagan’s story from Dirty Work. It is a definite must read before you pick up this book. The story contains two very strong personalities that when they finally meet up in the bedroom – not sparks – but raging inferno. Dirty Defiance carries this story forward without giving up the characters personalities from book 1.
How do you ‘make it work’ once you’ve decided to jump into the martial pool? Can love and politics mix? Or do they separate like oil and water? This is a look into their lives five years later where political and career ambitions often interfere with life happily ever after. I loved that the authors stayed true to the characters personalities that kept the reader turning the pages. Like any marriage concessions need to be made. Read on to see how they make it work.
As always Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss deliver a entertaining story with steam and heart.
Jude and Reagan are back in action as Jude runs for Governor. Inbetween his campaign and working ful time, Reagan and Jude barely see each other. As a scandal causes a tailspin for these two can their relationship survive? I loved these two since the beginning and I was absolutely excited to read about these two again. This is a political romance that I think everyone will love.
Dirty Defiance is the 3rd book in the Filthy Politics series. These books have been co-written by Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert and they make a great team. They write seamlessly and I know that I will read more by these authors. Dirty Defiance can be read as a standalone and though it isn’t necessary to read the other books, your experience will be enhanced if you do.”
We get to read more on Reagan Preston Titan & Jude Titan. They have now been married for a while and are now showing signs of trouble in their marriage. They have to deal with all the bad things dredged up. Will their marriage survive? They have always had hot and steamy sex and they continue to even with things trying to pull them apart.
I love that throughout this book Jude seems to really love Reagan. Reagan seems to have the doubts.
I loved reading Dirty Defiance and look forward to reading more books by both of these authors. I give this book 4.5 Stars.
Jude and Reagan are still going strong five years later and having the same struggles as most married couples. But now Jude is running for governor and living life on the campaign trail is putting a strain on their marriage neither are ready for.
Reagan isn’t jealous that Jude is on the campaign trail but she thinks he may think her job isn’t as important as his. Although she wants to be with her, she also wants to make her job the best she can.
When they are away from the campaign trail, they are perfect together, still just as hot as they were when they met. When they are away from the house, they fight about what happens on the campaign trial mostly because Jude doesn’t talk to her about it. She feels left out at times.
When a scandal against Jude comes up, Reagan begins to doubt him but knows he didn’t do it. Then she begins to doubt their marriage in politics. When Reagan’s mother calls with a health issue, Reagan leaves to be with her. Of course, the press automatically thinks she has left Jude because of the scandal, which isn’t true.
Can Jude and Reagan get back on track and rekindle their relationship? Will Jude give up the run for governor just days before the election to save his marriage? Can Reagan see that she and Jude are meant to always be together forever?
When I saw that Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert were writing more about Jude and Reagan I knew it was going to be HOT and great. This couple knows how to steam up the pages and almost set a kindle on fire. So if you are looking for a steaming hot series then this one is for you, so sit back and enjoy the stem, I loved everything about it.

5 star Review Dirty Defiance (Filthy Politics #3) by Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert
This was a fantastic and intriguing read although I do admit that politics is not my favourite topic to read about. I loved it from the first to the last page and was disappointed when it ended. This was an intriguing read from the first to the last page and I was disappointed when it ended. Dirty Defiance was well written and I have no idea where one author ended and the other took over. Ms. Bliss and Ms. Rothert blended their writing together in such a way that the continuity was flawless.
Where do I start? This is the third collaboration between these two authors and I loved this story. Dirty Defiance has it all, intrigue, mystery, danger, smoking hot scenes and romance. When I read the first book I had hopes that there might be a follow up book and now here it is.
Jude and Reagan have been married for 4 years and Jude is running for Governor. As is to be expected when running for political office, unseen forces try to drive them apart and cause trouble. Can their marriage survive or will it buckle to the pressure? They love each other and he is just as dominant in the bedroom as he has always been but outside influences are putting a strain on their marriage.
Jude and Reagan are two characters that are a joy to read about; their love for one another is intense and passionate. I love how strong and feisty Reagan is and yet she is still vulnerable and Jude is totally dreamy. Dirty Defiance can easily be read as a stand alone, but I would do yourselves a favour if you haven’t read the previous books and once click them too as I do believe it will add to your enjoyment of reading Dirty Defiance.
I was so excited to get more of Jude and Reagan’s story! They are such a strong, smart and incredibly sexy couple and I just love them! They’ve been married for around 5 years now and they are still just as hot and steamy as ever. Except now that Jude is running for governor, their time together is minimal at best and this is putting a strain on their relationship but as they always have, they strive to work through their differences because they are so crazy about each other. They will be tested a bit in this story by some unnerving forces but it really makes the story soar. Difficult decisions will have to be made but again, it really makes it work.
The worst part about this book is that it’s slated to be the last one in this smart sexy political romance. I am hoping with the way things were left that these two wonderful ladies might give us a Reagan and Jude fix down the road.
This is the third and final book in the Filthy Politics trilogy. I loved catching up with Reagan and Jude, seeing where there life has gone. Jude is running for Governor and it’s been a long hard race. There were times I got really fed up with both of them, the way they didn’t seem to listen to each other. But in the end, their love for each other was stronger than everything else.
OMG! I’ve volunteered to review this book for the authors. I love reading books from both Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert. This is the third book in Filthy Politics series. It’s another story of Jude and Reagan. They are both very headstrong. I love their banter and interaction. This book is super hot, sexy and so naughty. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this thrilling sexy story. Can’t wait to read more from this dynamic duo. I CAN NOT wait to see what else these two amazing authors will come up with. I HIGHLY recommend this series!
I love reading the 1st book in this series ( Dirty Works ) and this book has more about Jude and Regan and what is happening in their lives. I recommend this book!
I thoroughly enjoyed getting back to Jude and Reagan. They’re both still the same. He’s an alpha male and she’s a strong, independent woman. I loved how in love they still are and seeing them trying to balance their marriage and careers. Dirty Defiance had a lot of sexy times, a little angst, and lots of entertainment. I highly recommend this book and series to everyone who enjoys a well written, sexy, love story.
I’m going to be honest, I’m fully ashamed to admit that I have not read the first two books in the series. I’ll be remedying that ASAP, but it’s really not absolutely necessary to have read them prior to delving into Dirty Defiance as these duo of fantastic authors do an amazing job of making this a standalone title.
Jude and Reagan are so erotically combustible, it’s insane to read them together. They’re ridiculously sexy as a married couple. But as a married couple that connects as one on physical and emotional levels, they butt heads on a logical level due to their opposing political careers. It’s something that most likely wouldn’t work out so well in out current political atmosphere, but Jude and Reagan are the epitome of showing the necessity of making sacrifices and meeting in the middle. I think they both have a stubborn side that made them want to refuse to see the other’s point of view, but in the end, they were willing to submit both in and out of the bedroom.
I have to say, I was not ready for how engaging and scorching this book was. Jude and Reagan’s story will absolutely be one that I’ll need to go back and read from the beginning, because if I love their ending this much, I can’t wait to experience the push and pull prior to them agreeing to spend the rest of their lives together. A truly wonderful book, that I think any reader would love very much!
Happy Reading!

Love revisiting Jude and Reagan. They were hot before and even hotter now. Their future is at steak when their lives are rocked by multiple incomings. Through all that, Chelle and Brenda show us a glimpse of being a couple in politics and all that entails, all while giving us an unstoppable love story. Good job, Ladies!
Regan Titan loves to tease her husband and she gets to reap the rewards. Jude Titan loves to tease his wife and maybe watch her suffer just a little bit. All that teasing doesn’t make a marriage though. I felt this more of a political intrigue than a romance but that was fine by me. I got to see their romance in book one of the series. There’s a conflict that our authors have created that eventually you see that Reagan’s thoughts put the nail on the head.
With everything going on in DC right now you need to put that aside so it doesn’t spoil what you’re reading here. It does add a little bit of realism to the story though. Our couple shows that being in politics can be hard on both the husband and the wife. As you read their conversations they just seem so real plus we get an inside look on how they try and process their personal lives as Jude is on the campaign trail. A sad point for me was that they still seemed so independent. I’m not saying that they should lose their identity but expected some mutual respect for what they do.
I like both these authors separately and as a team. They compliment each other very well. I can’t tell which author wrote what and that’s the way it should be. It’s also what makes for an enjoyable read. You don’t want to sit there and pick through a book and say so and so wrote this part and so and so wrote that part. If I did that I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed what they wrote. And I might not finish because of all the energy needed to pick everything apart – where’s the enjoyment in that.
This book is listed as a standalone but if you want to know how Regan and Jude met, you should read Dirty Work and then go ahead and read this. The first book came out in 2016 so some time has passed and what a great incentive to revisit them and then find out how their story plays out. I will say that I liked the ending but it just didn’t seem like an ending. It left me hoping that even though the trilogy is over, that maybe we will see them or some of the secondary characters again. But if not that’s ok because I can revisit them at any time.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
In Dirty Defiance we continue with the story of Jude and Reagan. It’s 5 years later and they are back on the campaign trail. Like any married couple they are having many ups and downs. Can their love survive or will this campaign tear them apart? This story is an emotional rollercoaster and an excellent read!
This was quick read that was easily read in one sitting. Jude is an aspiring politician who also likes to dominate in the bedroom. His wife Reagan is a very independent woman who loves her career. Together they must maintain a balanced middle ground in order to make their marriage work. Things are about to get ugly.
It was an entertaining story that never had a dull moment. Full of drama and angst. If the readers are looking for a steamy read, this is the story to get.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA.
I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all my opinions are my own.
I was beyond excited when I found out that Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert were bringing back their filthy political couple Jude and Reagan from Dirty Work. I couldn’t wait for them to give us another hot and steamy glimpse into what makes this couple, whose views may be on the opposite ends of the spectrum but their hearts and bodies could not be more intertwined,not only the most explosive but the best combination. Dirty Defiance shows us that the desire between Jude and Reagan has not dwindled even among the problems of married life and campaigning. They are full of passion for their country and for each other and you can’t help but want to be a part of their world.
Jude Titan is just as sexy as he was when he was campaigning for Senator. Now that he is on the road to Governor with a sexy wife who challenges him both in and out of the bedroom, life is going to get more complicated. I fell hard for this tattooed Republican and I just kept falling harder for him with every venture into the bedroom, every moment of mudslinging that he endures, and with his honor that he wears proudly like a badge. He is the ultimate hot and domineering alpha that ties up his woman and worships her in every way.
Reagan Titan proves time and time again, that she is still a force to be reckoned with that is sexy, head strong, and not afraid to fight with her man…and make up too! Reagan’s sassiness has not dwindled or been diluted in the least. Sometimes she thinks to much with her head and not her heart but eventually she learns from her mistakes and makes the right choices. She is a heroine who shows her flaws and her strengths in equal measures and leaves you more in love with her character than you were at the beginning.
Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss deliver another romance full of dirty political shenanigans and lots of filthy sex to go with it. I highly recommend Dirty Defiance for another intriguing look into the life and politics of one of Brenda and Chelle’s hottest couples yet! I cannot wait to experience more of the deceit and heat that swirl in this Filthy Politics series. Political platforms have never looked so sexy!
I loved book 3 in this series! Jude and Reagan still heat up the pages, even after 5 years of marriage! Jude is now running for Governor and the little time they get together is getting smaller each day. I love how they work through their political differences, demanding jobs, slanderous innuendos, her sleazy father the realization of what matters most…their relationship. This is a drama filled, hot and steamy end to a fabulous series, an ending that satisfies (in more ways than one)everyone!!! Just get it now!!!
Talk about my hot and heavy dreams coming true in a book!
Dirty Defiance is every bit the sexy caper you desire, that you fantasize over and that oh so need!!
Holy heck yes!!! Bring on the fans and the fire extinguisher! Yes, you’re going to need it with Jude and Reagan!! Smart, funny and omg swoony perfection!
