Dirty Desires

I liked this story. There was a lot going on with both of the main characters, but the story was entertaining. The characters were interesting.

****Blurb –
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. 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 went back and forth on this story a bit. Sometimes I was really creeped out with how Ian found Eve and then decided to go after her and other times I thought it was kind of sweet. I also wanted to smack Eve for being upset about Ian reading her blog – you posted it online – LOTS of people read it! There were other things that didn’t sit well with me, but I’m going to go with that’s just me.

I did like the story overall. I liked how Ian and Eve connected so quickly and easily (attraction wise anyway!). The dates that Ian and Eve went on as well as their conversations getting to know each other were awesome. I liked the way the story ended, but I do wish there was another epilogue further out than the one we got for 2 years later. Probably because I’m greedy. I recommend reading this book.

A business contract, one month, her virginity, a pleasurable companionship and financial freedom. Easy, peasy, right? At first this seemed like a good idea, now, Eva is not so sure. But she keeps thinking of the money and what it could do for her. She’s got this. Ian is a very successful businessman who is also very attractive. He vows that she will have a very good time. Thirty days is not a long time but it can be long enough when two people are very attracted to one another for things to get complicated. A great story that hits a few twists along the way that our characters have to work through. Will those bumps in the road break them apart or make things stronger? Enjoy!

This is an older man, younger woman standalone and the fourth book in the Dirty Rich series. The storyline was interesting, well written and the characters were wonderful. Eve is a bartender trying to support her sister and pay her medical bills. Ian is a business man who has not had luck with relationships in the past. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is the fourth book in Dirty Rich but is read as a standalone. This is Eve and Ian’s story. She is broke and drowning in her sister’s medical debt. She is desperate and the only option she has is to sell her V card. Thirty days , six figures and unlimited pleasure. Ian is still broken from his messy divorce and has lost all trust in women and love. An online diary and a glimpse into a women’s soul captures his attention and eventually his heart. This was a beautiful love story that has a lot of drama and plenty of twists. A good read that I read as an arc and voluntarily chose to review.

Eve has had to carry the burden of responsibility for so long, her one outlet is a site where she pours her thoughts onto the page, but she isnt as anonymous as she thought and when faced with an offer from tall, dark and mysterious her every thought is laid bare. Ian has closed himself off from feeling but the mysterious writer intrigues him and he has to present her with an offer before he loses her to someone else. The story although it felt written like journal entries really is enticing, the attraction between older man and younger woman who’s souls are so intune. I very much enjoyed this book.

Ian And Eve Break The Rules, Hoping For A Chance At Love, But Tyler’s Visit Threatens To Derail Their HEA. Fans Of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale May Enjoy The Many References To The Book. Don’t Forget To Grab The Bonus Scene!

This book is the fourth in the Dirty Rich series. It stands alone, but fans of Dirty Husband, book three in the series, will be happy to see newlyweds Shepard Marlowe and Jasmine Lee, former high school sweethearts torn apart by alcoholism and brought together again six years later in a twisted game. This is Ian’s story, Shepard’s good friend and business partner. It takes place mostly in June, about three months after Jasmine entered Shep’s life again. Ian is introduced in Dirty Husband as an adrenaline junkie having an affinity for teaching virgins about the world of pleasure. He becomes fixated on one in particular that he follows online, but she has no idea who he is.

Eve Miller isn’t your typical eighteen year old girl. Focused, driven, and articulate, she is mature beyond her years. The recently graduated punk rock princess does plan to attend college in the fall like so many of her peers. But unlike most, she has been making her way in the world for years without much parental support. Her trademark teal hair, heavy eyeliner, dark lips, and combat boots are her armor against the outside world, helping her to shield her feelings and remain focused.

Eve doesn’t believe in fairie tales. She lost her mother many years ago, and her alcoholic dad tried but failed to stick around. Eve and her twin sister Addie work to support themselves with only occasional help from their absent father. Then last year Eve had the scare of her life with Addie, and the medical bills on top of everything else now make college tuition seem out of reach. She worries constantly about Addie and takes on the lion’s share of responsibility herself.

Eve hopes to study creative writing, though her head is too focused on her job and bills to give it much thought now. In high school she loved literature and became very excited about Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. She began a blog, Original Sin, to talk about literature and to journal. She was surprised when she got some followers, but it felt good to publish and it soon became her happy escape.

Ian Hunt, thirty-six, exudes power and control. The gorgeous black businessman started out flying helicopters in the Royal Air Force before being recruited into British intelligence and later setting up shop on his own, digging up dirt on others for a living. He left his brother Tyler in charge of the London office four years ago and moved to New York – it was a necessary change. One year ago he partnered with Shepard Marlowe, and the two have since become good friends.

Shep’s wife Jasmine has recently taken quite an interest in Ian’s love life. He has an unusual kink, having had about a dozen virgins cycle in and out of his life since coming to New York. His taste is notorious and he plays by a very specific set of rules. There is always an end date, no exceptions. The young women beg for him before it is over, and more than one was convinced she could win his empty heart.

For months now Ian has been obsessed with a woman online that writes about her love of literature and her personal struggles. He knows nothing of her personal details. Her open and honest blogs reach him in a way he doesn’t want to acknowledge, yet he can’t stop talking about her. Jasmine is convinced it is true love, but Ian no longer believes in happily ever after. He tried that once and was burned. He is much happier living a simpler life with his power suits, his work, and his one to two month relationships that end before any real damage is done.

When Ian reads Eve’s latest post on Original Sin, things get real. Eve has been offered an opportunity by a strange man that Ian won’t stand for. No longer content to obsess anonymously, he finally takes the next step. He digs up Eve’s personal information and shows up at her work with an alternate opportunity – one she would be a fool to turn down.

Ian and Eve’s beautiful love story is about a broken man and a resilient young woman who is mature beyond her years. It is serious in tone and the kink puts it a little on the dark side. In total honesty, it was a little slow to get into in the beginning. Perhaps that is due to the huge age gap; I am not certain. But having already read Dirty Husband, the appeal of reading more about Ian, Shep, and Jasmine kept me going. Very soon, questions about Ian’s past pull you into the story and it becomes very easy to root for his and Eve’s future together. Probably due to Eve’s age, there aren’t too many details provided about their happy ending. Note: by following the instructions provided in the book, a bonus scene is provided that takes place a few years into the future.

Tyler Hunt’s story follows next in the series. Ian’s thirty year old brother is a more casual, playful, and dangerous version of Ian. Hopefully Ian and Eve’s HEA gets expanded in Tyler’s book.

Ian and Eve break the rules, hoping for a chance at love, but Tyler’s visit threatens to derail their HEA. Their story is nicely written, though some of the conversations are difficult to follow. The plot is complex. The characters carefully constructed and multidimensional. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Ian and Eve. I rate this book four stars.

Amazing!

This is Ian and Eve’s story and it is simply put, amazing!! Ian and Eve have such terrific chemistry and the emotional quotient is so high on this it brought tears to my eyes.

I read a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.

This book is really more 3.5 stars for me mostly because age gaps dont really work for me but characters are so beautifully created that you cant help but feel for them. The perfect amount of heart but lots of heat too! Another good read!

Crystal Kaswell books are sinfully heartwarming and intensely engaging! So get ready to fall head over heels! Another page turner! The characters are so well written and interact with each other so wonderfully that it makes the story come alive and jump out of the pages. Loved it and can’t wait to read the next book by this amazing author. Happy reading everyone!

Decadently dirty and delicious read
Dirty Desires (Dirty Rich Series Book 4) by Crystal Kaswell is a very well written billionaire romance with all the feels, plenty of tension, building of anticipation and sexual chemistry galore! Ian is a broken bad boy billionaire with a dominant streak a mile wide, but that just makes him all the more appealing and absolutely swoon-worthy. Eve, in her own ways is also broken. Even though she’s very young, she has an old soul and maturity beyond her years. Despite the differences in their ages, Ian and Eve are a perfect match.
I loved this book and it’s plot and characters. Definitely a book I didn’t want to put down until the end. Full of contrasts, complexity, connections, emotional discoveries and revelations of the heart, this book is as heartfelt and sweet as it is raw and gritty with just the right amount of angst to add to the contrasts and complexity of Ian and Eve’s relationship.
Overall, a really wonderful book with heat, heart and best of all a HEA filled with promise and staying power for Ian and Eve.
I read and ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
