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.

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?

I have read many books by this author and always love them. I like her writing style, the fact that she often writes about characters that are people you would know and love, especially the Inked Hearts series. This book is a bit of a departure from that. Ian is a wealthy man, a former spy, who becomes obsessed with the author of an online blog he finds. Eve is that author, just 18 and struggling to support herself and her twin sister when their dad abandons them. She is working as a bartender at a Times Square strip club when a customer offers to pay her to take her virginity. Ian finds her before she can agree and offers her a better arrangement for enough money to make a big difference in their lives.
I will be honest – this is not the type of story I normally like, which is why I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. But I really like this author so I gave it a try. Although the trope is not appealing, I loved the characters and their journey together.

Dirty Desires by Crystal Kaswell is a wonderful read. Captivating, intriguing,interesting hot and steamy OM/YW romance story of Ian the hunk Brit Billionaire and Eve the virgin who’s going to sell her virtue to pay her family debts. A story that you couldn’t put it down, I’m hooked from start to finish. Loved it! Well done!

Crystal has written a Master piece! Eve, she freaking rocks, she’s awesome, I love, love, love her! She’s 18 but is so mature for her age. Life has dealt her some ugly cards in life and she’s handled it like a boss! Now, we’ve met Ian in Dirty Husband and gah! I was ready for his story, let me tell y’all Crystal did NOT disappoint.. Ian is everything I expected him to be and much more. He’s a little damage with trust issues, he’s a dirty Britt. My gah! I almost read his lines in a British accent in my head. He is obsessed with Eve and thinks that by putting a time limit to their arrangement he’ll be save from heartache, little does he know he’s into deep. The age gap only gives it more edge, I love how steamy these two are!

3.5 stars
Ian, a wealthy attractive alpha male who has had his heart ripped out & is still learning to trust again after his ex wife cheated on him.
Eve, and 18 year old working as a bartender to support herself & her younger sister. Bills piling up, college to pay for, just trying to get by. She has a blog that she writes her feelings for all to see.
Ian somehow stumbles across this blog & spends months reading Eve pouring her heart out online. Even though he is trained to, he chooses not to search & find out everything he can about Eve until he reads her latest post about some sleazy guy trying to buy her virginity.
He in turn shows up & offers her the same. However his amount is much more generous & his stipulations are, she must quit her job & spend a full 30 days with him to receive the full amount.
For the first 2 weeks there’s a lot of oral stimulation & plenty of built up tension.
It isn’t until they travel to London & Ian meets up with his ex wife, that Eve finally gets her cherry popped. Once the first times out of the way they’re constantly going at it like rabbits, lol.
Of course a story wouldn’t be complete without the bump in the road. This is when Eve finally discovers Ian has been reading her blog.
This doesn’t seem like a big issue to me since the first time they met he told her he knew about the guy offering to buy her virginity, which she posted on her blog for the world to see.
I usually love Crystal Kaswell books & hate that I’m writing this but this book seemed to drag a bit & kept bringing up the same things.
I just wasn’t convinced that Eve’s life was so terrible. Yes she had a junkie mother who overdosed when she was thirteen & her dad lasted a few more years after that & walked out but he was sending money.
She has a paying job & gets tips. If things were so bad they could’ve downsized to a one bedroom, they are sisters that get along.
I did enjoy the story’s direction & the chemistry between Ian & Eve.
I’m happy that the extended epilogue was released, it makes the ending much better.

Depth. Width. Breadth. Excellent Reading Material!
This novel had a very unique feel to it that I cannot totally put into words but let’s try. I think of Crystal Kaswell as a backhoe, digging through until she gets down to hard pan level. Then she determines that there is more, so she gets out her jackhammer and starts chipping away at the hard pan. This story, besides being a romantic tale, tells of the unique depths that the main male and main female characters had to them. We all do as well but she delved where no man has been before and brought us to the very essence of the characters. This was done in a straightforward manner, almost like a factual listing. The characters in this story were the sum of the whole.
As with all Ms. Kaswell’s works I take away a tale that long beyond finishing the story, I still ruminate upon pieces of the story that resonate with me.
Excellent Reading Material! Highly Recommended reading!!
I love Crystal’s books and this one is no exception
Eve is struggling she works hard as a bar tender at a strip club trying to make ends meet so she can support herself and her twin sister Then one day a client propositions her he wants to buy her virginity. Unsure what to do Eve writes about it on her anonymous blog that she writes. Ian is a wealthy older man who stumbled on her blog quite a while ago and has been following it ever since when he sees the post about losing her virginity he has to step in He offers her a thirty day contract the only problem is the attraction between them is off the charts. Can this black British man who is a retired vet and wealthy actually find something that is missing in his life with this 18 year old goth princess You will have to read to see
This is Ian’s and Eve’s story and I’ve been dying to read it and Crystal Kaswell didn’t disappoint! This was a sexy steamy fun read ! Definite must read and if your a fan of this author or this series you have to read this book ! I LOVED these two characters, the plot was well written overall a fantastic read and definite 5 stars from me !
Eve Miller is in trouble. With rent due and her family’s medical debts, she is desperate for money, right now, or she risks losing her sister. Help comes in the form of Ian Hunt, a wealthy tech billionaire, who offers her “six figures” for every one of her “firsts” written in her online journal that he can claim. Not able to pass it up with her current financial dilemma, no matter how uncomfortable it may make her, she signs the contract. But what are their intentions for when the contract has ended?
This is a clever premise for the story line that could have gone in many directions. I liked the characters and felt bad for Eve who was trying so hard for others and had to make such sacrifices through no fault of her own. Grab your copy and see for yourself whether she made the right choice!
Simple and yet original
I found the story original from the position of the characters. They go beyond the cliché of the older man / virgin girl relationship, as the hero Ian’s attraction is the texts that Eve, the heroine, writes on her site. What binds them is more than sex, even if she doesn’t know it. Of course, the main part of the story is about how Ian gets Eve to want him as much as he wants her, and one of the means chosen is a contract because she is poor, but that leads them to look beyond their suffering past and these parts are very well written.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
What an intense romance read! Ian and Eve journey was wonderful to follow, theirs was a sweet and naughty story from start to finish. I loved the build up of their relationship somewhat taboo, but definitely a whole lot of delicious heat level that will leave you wanting more. I enjoyed how their story ended and can’t wait to read Ty’s story.
Crystal Kaswell’s book Dirty Desires is stunning… it will take your breath away. An age gap romance and so much more, the writing, plot and dialogue is superb. I LOVED the Star Wars references and the references to classic literature. I loved that Ian and Eve “jumped off the ledge …no ground in sight” together. I especially appreciated the diversity of both characters (a little bit James Bond and a goth princess with teal hair) that is most often absent in romance.
The chemistry between Ian and Eve is HOT!! I loved the angst…the happily ever after was Ian and Eve finding each other to weather the good and bad things with. Brillant!! CK, your “energy” was spot on!! Bravo!!! ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review.
Falling in love with someone’s mind
Ian was fascinated by Eve’s mind when he came upon her very public albeit anonymous journal on the web. It may have remained a fascination from afar, if Eve did not journal about the offer she had from a “gentleman” who wanted to pay for her virginity. Ian was forced into finding Eve and doing what he can to change the dynamic. We may all know the trope, but this book is well written with enough character development that the trope does not feel old or just another in a long line.
The underlying theme of the book was trust; trust freely given, trust taken, trust betrayed and trust earned and the shields we put in place when there is a lack of trust. Although the plot conflict could be seen a mile away by the reader, the build-up and emotional connection was well written. I enjoyed the writing style – Ms Kaswell writes motivations and emotional responses really well. Hers is also the only stories I have come across where a laugh, a look, a head nod, a shrug and other mannerisms are written to convey the feeling behind it. It supports the story without adding to dialogue but also makes you visualise the scene with so much more clarity – this is three dimensional writing of a very different kind.
I strongly recommend you read this.

Okay, where do I start? I was a little back and forth with Ian and Eve from the start. Eve is 18, a virgin, working as a bartender in a strip club that works hard to care for her twin sister. I loved her determination and grit to keep the two of them afloat. Ian is a rich man, twice her age that stumbled across her online diary months ago and has been following the story ever since. Their story is a bit unconventional. An exchange of money for a month of her time and… well. They do have a very heat filled connection. There are secrets, there is an amazing amount of fire adding to that he’s very Dom like and loves that power exchange between them. Their journey is worth the read, all the characters are interesting and kept me pulled in.
ARC was given to me by author through booksprout. My review is given voluntarily.
I gave this book 5 stars.
Dirty Desires is the 4th book in the Dirty series by Crystal Kaswell.
So this story is about an older man and younger woman. It’s an interracial relationship that starts as a contract to take her v-card, but becomes so much more in the end.
Ian is a dominant rich billionaire man that knows what he wants and he likes Hot AF dirty sex with a little kink. He becomes obsessively determined to be the first man to touch Eve, and introduce her into his world of submissive pleasures!!! Eve is a strong young woman that has suffered a lot in her life. She needs the money desperately! She is smart, punk, stubborn, hard working young lady that is protective of her sister, and unapologetically herself. I loved Eve’s character so much!!!
There’s definitely emotional, heartbreak pain that
both have suffered, but Ian has really gotten his heart broken, and it left him with a locked heart, and trust issues.
Them together have crazy chemistry, hot sex….wowzza. This book is on fire I was hooked on this book from the very first page. I’ve read many of this author’s work, but this was the first book in her Dirty series I’ve read. I’m definitely digging this Business Billionaire Men’s world she has created for us. The other characters are really good too, we have Eve’s sister (who is the complete opposite in everything from Eve) and Ian’s brother Ty (who is very handsome but also different from his brother). I can’t wait for Ty’s story, and I’m definitely going back to read Shepard’s story which is book 3 “Dirty Husband”.
This book has no cliffhangers, and in the end love conquerors all obstacles!
This ended up another 4 am read and I couldn’t be happier. The characters were so believable and the story line really well written that I just had to keep going as I just had to find out if they got their deserved HAE. Definitely recommend.

There’s always something about watching a man who isn’t interested in long-term trying so hard not to fall for a woman, but Ian walked the line between tender but in control. I loved the connection between Ian and Eve. I loved that he fell for her mind before he knew her and then her unique style pulled him in. I wondered if he wanted someone different and challenging? Still, the care he had providing for her, but still keeping some sense of control was fascinating. I appreciated how they both had to go through their baggage before deciding to move forward, either alone or together.
Dirty Desires is the fourth book in the Dirt Rich series. This is Ian and Eve’s story. I really like this their story it’s full emotional twist and turns and keeps your attention. Must Read Series!
First I want to say that I loved this book because it had a huge age gap, a virgin and a freaking hot as heck billionaire.
This book had me hooked, line and sinker with all the little tropes that I love to read so much all bundled up together in one novel.
All I can tell you is that if you like these tropes, then you will enjoy this book so much with having them all together.
Dirty Desires was definitely a delicious read!
Ian and Eve s story. Ian is a sexy damaged, with trust issues brit who reads an online journal about a young woman who wants to auction off her virginity.. He then becomes obsessed with Eve and he wants to claim her, but he is immune to love and this arrangement is perfect for him. Eve on the other hand has struggled all her life for her sister and herself and she is willing to take this step to make their life a little better, This is another addition to the Dirty world that I find captivating from the start.
