He’ll do anything to have her…
Eve Miller is out of options. Between rent, and her sister’s medical debts, she’s drowning. She needs money, now, and she only has one card left to play.
Her virginity.
Ian Hunt has specific tastes. The feisty student is perfect. He has to have her.
His offer is simple. Six figures. Thirty days. Him introducing her to every kind of pleasure.
It’s ridiculous. … days. Him introducing her to every kind of pleasure.
It’s ridiculous. The British businessman is richer than sin and hotter than hell. He can have any woman he wants. Why her?
And why is she desperate to fulfill his every desire? There’s something about his dark eyes, his deep voice, his firm touch… her body knows something she doesn’t. It responds for her.
Yes. One month as his. Then they part.
But what happens when he decides he hasn’t had enough?

Oh boy – I wasn’t sure about this but Crystal wrote a beautiful story that I loved. Eve has the world on her shoulders. She’s the mother, father, protector for her and her sister. She works hard to support them but it’s not enough. One night she writes about a proposition to sell her virginity on her blog and one of her readers Ian is not happy. He tracks her down and soon he has another proposition for her that is for 30 days only mostly to protect his heart and help her out. This contract will help with so much but how does it all end? These two are great together between the banter and sexy times you can’t help but love them.
Learning To Trust Again:
By Korkoi –
Ian has been leading a life filled with unemotional entanglements, following a divorce from his cheating spouse. Eva had lived a hard life, burdened with fear, disappointment and having to grow up too fast and care for her sister. These two meet in an unconventional way, but spending time together without dealing with their trust and insecurities issues, was bound to lead to misunderstandings and chaos. This is a very thought-provoking book, that will leave you emotionally raw, but also allow you to truly appreciate the author’s way of telling a a great story.

Deliciously Dirty
Eve and Ian are fire. What better way to spend the time at home than to read. And Crystal Kasswell gives us one heck of a good book.
While it’s book 4 of a series, it holds its own as a complete standalone, and you’re not left with ”huhs” for not having read the other books though I do recommend reading the other books (just because they’re super good as well.)
This book is crazy hot, but it doesn’t lack emotions or character growth. It’s well rounded and everything you want for escaping the quarantine blues.
This book is smokin’ hot, passionate, and intense! Eve has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her priority in life is to look after her sister, and if that means working as a bartender in a strip club, then that’s what it is. But Eve is so, so much more than what people see-her teal hair, her combat boots, her bad attitude. Ian needs to know Eve-he is intrigued by her astute observations of the world, seen through her youthful, jaded eyes. Thirty days, and he will have both saved her and had his fill of her. I loved their dance of love and denial, trust, vulnerability, and fear. All the emotions in this one.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
Eve will do anything to provide for her sister even if it means selling her v-card to the highest bidder just to get out of debt. Ian Hunt is a powerful man and will do whatever it takes to claim Eve has his own. Ian offers Eve a contracts along with a six figure amount for one month to be at his beck and call for whatever he might need. The chemistry between Ian and Eve is intense, hot and some of the scenes in this book are just WOW!! Ian is hiding something that will change there relationship. What happens when the 30 days are up and they have to go there separate ways. Will they be able to move forward after Eve discovers what Ian is hiding from her.

A sexy, gorgeous older alpha male with an 18 year old virgin. I never would have believed these characters could work out as a couple but leave it to Crystal Kaswell to weave an incredible, sexy romance that brings them together.
As a young woman, Eve is mature beyond her years. She is strong and sassy. She has teal hair, ripe berry lipstick and always wears combat boots. Her look serves as a mask to the outside world. Yet, she shares herself with the world thru an online blog. That’s how Ian finds her.
Ian is a 36 year old businessman. Ian reads Eve’s blog and becomes obsessed with her. Her words fascinate him, move him. When Eve reveals her financial troubles and plans to sell her virginity, Ian decides he has to find her.
The characters are well developed. The story takes time to build and develop each personality and their relationship to each other. At first, I didn’t believe these characters could have a true loving relationship but as you read Ms. Kaswell works her magic and you truly believe in their happiness together.
An entertaining story. I struggled at the beginning but was rewarded with a great ending. I received an advanced copy of this manuscript and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Want a naughty, thrilling experience? That’s exactly what Dirty Desires by Crystal Kaswell offers you. Mmm…mmm…mmm This book is deliciously sexy, with a respectful Alpha; deviously dirty, with a slight twist of taboo; and it will have you enamored with Ian and Eve’s story!!!
.
Ian is altruistic and determined to save a girl he’s never met, yet he feels like he really knows her. He’s mesmerized by her blog. Her intelligence grabs him and her vulnerability wraps him up inside. It takes all his self-control not to hunt her down. Because that’s what he does for a living, finds information and leverages it. But his restraint breaks when she mentions on her blog that she’s toying with the idea of selling her virginity to a questionable “doctor.”
.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. When Eve finds herself up to her eyeballs in debt, one simple act, selling the one thing she has that’s worth anything, could bring some relief from the stress of finances but could also crumble her soul. Is it really worth it?
.
This story teeters right on the edge of taboo. It keeps you reeled in with interest and just before it becomes too much there’s a redemption of sorts that spurs you to continue reading…
.
A contract for thirty days of her life and more money than she needs. One signature could change her life forever.
.
Deception is one of those things that often, you just can’t come back from. You can try to justify it to the one who you deceived, but they won’t be able to hear you. You will have created a wall that hopefully will be able to be broken down. But sometimes, it just can’t. Dirty Desires has layers of deception. Some relationships will mend, while others will be broken forever.
.
Read this hot, hot, hot story about a” prince” that use to be a spy that saves a “princess” who’s actually more like a pauper.
I am a huge fan of Crystal Kaswell’s books. This book is about an age-gap romance. Age-gap tropes are just not my cup of tea. So, personally, I did not care for this book. However, it was still well written with a deeper meaning about trust and love. Eve is an 18-year-old girl who works at a bar serving drinks while taking care of her twin sister. For an 18-year-old, she has lived many lifetimes. Eve is very mature for her age. She has experienced a life that would leave most weak. She pours her soul out in a blog she calls “Original Sin.” Ian is a very successful businessman that has been burned by love. He is attracted to Eve’s articles. Then one night, he meets her. He is a dominant alpha-male that knows what he wants. Eve is quick to fall for his charms. There is a lot of tug and pull in their relationship. They encounter many obstacles through-out their agreement. They have to look past the lust to determine if they can trust, love, and respect for each other.
I received a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
I absolutely adored Eve!
Eve is one of the most self-aware characters I’ve read in a long time. She’s young, but she’s been through so much she has more life experience than most people her age. When Ian offers to solve all her financial problems in exchange for one month of her time (plus benefits), it’s not a quick nor easy decision for her, despite her attraction to him. This story was written in alternating first-person POVs, and that really helps us to get inside the characters’ thought processes so we can understand their hearts.
The basic plot is familiar and holds few surprises, but the gem here is in the depth and insight the author gives to the characters. The writing is perfectly sublime, hooking the reader right from the start and making us feel for, and care for Eve and Ian from the first page.
If you like stories with a jaded older man and a cynical yet innocent younger woman, this book was written for you. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Dirty Desires by Crystal Kaswell is a contemporary romance with a dirty secret. A virgin and a man who craves to save her,to have her – but only for a month ….until a month isnt long enough. Eve and Ian are interesting characters who are hot and sexy in their exploration of each other and their desires. The story is entertaining with drama, angst, hurt/comfort/healing, steam and love. This is another fantastic read from Crystal Kaswell. Loved it!
Eve was an 18 year old who had a hard life and supported herself and her twin sister by working as a bartender at a strip club. Her sister had hospital bills to be paid off as well as college tuition and living expenses so money was very tight. Eve had teal hair, dressed in dark clothes had an online journal/diary where she put all her thoughts. A customer at the bar offered her a lot of money for her virginity and she wrote about this in her online journal. Ian was a 36 year old very successful businessman from England originally who had been following her online journal. He was bitter after a divorce and only dated someone less than 30 days. He offered her $500,000 to be with him for 30 days. They signed a contract that did not specify required sex and agreed that the “relationship” would terminate after 30 days. She agreed so she could pay off bills and have tuition money for herself & her sister. Would they be able to have an intimate relationship and not develop feelings? Would 30 days be enough for both of them?
I enjoyed most of the book but it got a little too long for me. I liked Aria but I never was as sure about Ian. I understand his past shaped his life but I didn’t fully understand how he treated women.
I loved this book so much. Ian and Eve have the usual banter you can expect between any of Crystal Kaswell’s characters that I’ve come to love. Lighthearted, funny, dark, sexy, delicious. Ian is afraid to start again after the love of his life broke his heart. Eve is an outsider that is young, but bright for her age. In theory these two don’t make sense, but when they’re together it’s as if they’ve known each other all their lives. They’re good for each other. What happens when Ian’s secrets get out? Will Eve be able to forgive him? A must read.
3 1/2 STARS! Book four in the Dirty Rich series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. Told in dual POV with HEA. I liked the last ¼ of the story the best because it seemed like a lot of repetition in the first ¾. Felt like we are told in every chapter Eve’s hair & eye color, style, & age. Ian still has some hang-ups from his first wife and now only does short term contracts with women. The drama / conflict was realistic and was not dragged out.
Dirty Desires is an entertaining, standalone romance in this author’s Dirty Rich world. If you have enjoyed the pervious books in this series, then you are in for a treat as this is Ian’s story! New to this author, no worries because you will fall in love with the sinfully delicious Ian and the spirited Eve.
Eve is an intelligent, mature 18 year-old virgin with full plate of worries and responsibilities. I admired her spunky personality as well as her hardworking nature and love for her sister. As a heroine, I found her both likable and relatable. Ian is a very successful billionaire in the tech industry, but is wary of relationships. He is enthralling with his confidence, dirty mouth, and commanding ways. These two have amazing chemistry and some hot, kindle melting moments between them. Even though the author touched upon this throughout the book, I did struggle a bit with the extent of the age gap. I actually gravitate towards the older man-younger woman trope, but Eve was only 18 years-old and just starting college while Ian was twice her age at 36 years-old, which was a little difficult for me to wrap my mind around.
Overall, Dirty Desires is a well written novel with a good storyline and likable, well-developed characters. I definitely recommend this standalone book and found it to be an excellent installment in this author’s Dirty Rich series.
“Maybe fairy tales do come true. Or maybe I’m about to find out Prince Charming is a very wicked man.” ~ Eve
A dirty hot read that will have you falling in love with Eve and Ian. Love the entries in Original Sin. Love how Ian falls hard for Eve and their chemistry together is hot.
I read an advanced copy for an honest review. Eve is a young woman who is doing all that she can to make ends meets for her and her sister. Ian is an older, handsome, successful man who cannot stay away from Eve. He is asking her for 30 days and maybe even her virginity and he can help her in ways no one else can. Kaswell has done it again in this great age-gap romance. I could not put it down and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend this hot, sometimes intense, and page-turner.
