The conclusion to the story begun in the USA Today Bestselling Dirty Filthy Rich Men.I’ve discovered Donovan Kincaid’s secret.It’s dirty and filthy and rich – as dirty and filthy and rich as he is – and it haunts me as much as he ever did.Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there’s an ocean between us, and I’m not sure it can be crossed with … be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve been dying to get my hands on Dirty Filthy Rich Love. I just needed to know how Sabrina and Donovan’s story ended and I can tell you that it was everything that I didn’t know I needed.
First and foremost, this cannot be read as a standalone. With that out of the way, I’m going to keep my review a bit vague on purpose. I said in my review of book one that you need to experience this all on you own and I still believe it. So I’m just going to tell you how it made me feel without really telling you what happened. For the most part.
Both Sabrina and Donovan are a bit broken yet one of the strongest people at the same time. Their love is unique and could be considered a bit dark and unconventional but who’s to say what is right and wrong when it comes to love? All that matters is at the end the day, they are perfect for each other.
I have been so emotionally attached to these two from the start. We’ve always been able to know where Sabrina stands but in Dirty Filthy Rich Love, we get to figure out who Donovan really is and how he ticks. That ticking isn’t a constant rhythm but it his him and I fell harder and harder for him the more I learned about him. Loving him will hurt but it will sooth your soul. He will melt you heart and make you swoon, forgetting any of the pain that he might cause because the love is so intense.
Overall, I loved this book and I couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion. Their love is certainly not easy and it comes with a lot of ups and downs but it’s beautiful and powerful and sends a message that everyone deserves to be loved the way they need to be. Do not miss out on this series, you’ll regret it if you do. I can’t express how much I love it and it will go down in my top books this year, for sure.
Loved it! Will read more by this author
“I’m asking you who you need me to be in order to get you”
There really aren’t enough great things I can say about this book. Sabrina and Donovan did not disappoint me. Sabrina was still all in her own head. I will admit that her back and forth was quite maddening at times. In this part of their story, you find out what exactly what was in the file Donovan had on Sabrina. All the things that he did for her for the last 10 years! Sabrina has the power to break him. I was a bit surprised at how much Donovan was willing to put himself on the line to make it work with Sabrina. After reading a whole book where he was doing just about everything to push her away, it was a very happy surprise.
We have now been introduced to the Dirty Filthy universe. I am quite excited to get more of the story on Weston and Elizabeth. I really got my interest piqued with Cade finding some one from his past that he was looking for. I am also quite eager to find out how Audrey gets Dylan to believe in love again.
Laurelin Paige is absolutely one of my favorite authors. I have not ever been disappointed with a story she writes, and I don’t think that I ever will. So keep them coming!!!
Dirty Filthy Rich Love is the continuation of the story of Donovan and Sabrina and picks up flawlessly right where Dirty Filthy Rich Men left off.
Sabrina is a strong and successful woman who is intelligent and knows what she wants out of life. She thought that she wanted Donovan and he wanted her…until he disappeared out of her life.
Donovan is dark, compelling and undeniably sexy. He lives by his own rules and protects the ones he loves by any means necessary. The things he has done in the past, he will now need to be held accountable for. And he may lose the love of his life in the process because of it.
All throughout this story, Donovan and Sabrina’s love story is complicated. They are not the perfect couple and what works for them probably would not work for most. What Donovan needs, Sabrina gives him without question. In Dirty Filthy Rich Love, we finally get to understand exactly what Donovan has been up to and what makes him tick.
This book, to me, was about finding acceptance with that one person no matter what you have in your past. I was completely captivated by Donovan and Sabrina, although I was expecting some sort of life altering twist that would throw everything I thought I knew out the window. That never came and I was a tad bit disappointed. However, the book was still tremendously enjoyable.
I devoured this book in one evening, much to the chagrin of my family, after receiving a preview of the first seven chapters from the author. I was pleasantly surprised (and loved) how Ms. Paige ended it, with the couple truly being themselves. Most stories tell the tale of how the couple changed, for the better, once they fell in love. Donovan and Sabrina were themselves, from start to finish.
Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love were exactly that…DIRTY. And I enjoyed every single minute of them!
Great Conclusion of this amazing Duet!!!
I love Donovan Kincaid .. is hard to find book boyfriends but Donovan is the man!! .. he was a freaking big A… sometimes but at the end, he showed how much he wanted and cared and love Sabrina..
I wrote a more extensive review for Dirty Filthy Rich Men but i didn’t want to leave this book without my review.. it is a great Duet and the characters are amazing..
Donovan has a lot of secrets to unveil and Sabrina is up for the challenge.. they knew each other since they were young .. he has been in love with her for such a long time but his character and behavior toward Sabrina showed another version of him .. she thought he didn’t want her, she thought she was another play thing.. but she was wrong..
I really like Sabrina because she was a very strong character/heroine who doesn’t let life or circumstances intimidate her.. she fought for what she wanted and didn’t have fear when she needed to confront Donovan.. she was perfect ..
I can’t wait for Weston story!!!!!!
LOVED IT!!!!
Amazing read! Loved the characters and the story twists!
“Gentle swain at thy request I am here” – “Sabrina Fair” – John Miton
There is beauty, mastery, complex feelings and ideas explored in this the second book of the “Dirty Duet”. More than a love story, and it is indeed a love story; this is presentment of the most beautiful emotionally anchored construction of the dark fairy-tale prince. Even with his failings, shortcomings, personality flaws and mistakes, he makes the absolutely most desirable dark prince of any emotionally flawed and insecure woman’s dreams. The brilliance of Ms. Page’s insight and construct of these two characters, Sabrina and Donovan will live in my heart a lifetime. This is not the usual fare we are served up in romance of any shade. When you read this you are blissfully living in your mind while feeling the ebb and tide of emotions wash over you. Of course, the sex is pitch perfect. hot and delicious and once again scenes that will last a lifetime all painted with mere words by a master in your mind’s eye.
When we last knew Donovan in previous writings, he presented as a frustrating enigma, perhaps without feelings, driven by base desires and inexplicably attracted to Sabrina. He introduced Sabrina to dark love play and she knew that this was her true north. Despite her desire to stand on her own two feet and make her way into the world, there was something so compelling about a Dominant and controlling man…some inexplicable pull toward this dark demon of a man, Donovan. Some readers rushed to judgement as to the authenticity of her character e.g. Does she really wish to be admired for her competency at her job? or Is she exhibiting the traits of a stereotypical weak female not standing up for herself?
In this book, “Dirty Filthy Rich Love” the focus is precisely on the love between Sabrina and Donovan where previous the focus was on the “boys” in the prequel, and then the “men” in the first book. Now it is about the love. Donovan returns from whence he first fled from Sabrina and calls her his girlfriend and admits he loves her at the very beginning. You may think, dear reader, that the game is up but in that thinking you underestimate our Sabrina. She wants answers. She wants to know why? She wants a real love. She wants more than the earth-shaking, soul-purifying love making of Donovan. She wants to know him and everything about him.
This book becomes a delicate dance exploring reasons, ideas, falsehoods, truths, assumptions with some plot movement that enhances the tensions that lead to the final puzzle piece. When the reader is finally shown this puzzle piece it is so beautiful in its simplicity, its hunger, its need and the mistakes made, that the reader is reminded as Sabrina expressed:
“‘…We’ve both lived long enough to know that sometimes the good is anchored to the bad, and if we changed a single detail, who knows if we’d be here now? I want to be here. Now.'” – Sabrina
I have always said that there is so much light to be found in the dark. It is in the darkness, that light shines the brightest, love burns the hottest and there is no way out but with truth. Some pain needs to be suffered in the dark. Darkness gives us rest. Frees us from expectations. In darkness, we realize the only true thing, light, beauty, power is love. Even if that love is dirty and filthy and rich love.
“He was making me feel everything he felt, and it was raw and jagged and dirty and hard. But it was love, and it was rich, and he lavished me with it.” – Sabrina
There is a small clue to Donovan in my review title. I am sure you will enjoy the title a whole lot more after you read this book. And read it, you must. It is light in the darkness and this beautiful light is not to be missed.
This duet is definitely a different story line.
Extremely Alpha H, stalking the h for over 10 years. It’s different but works for them. Passionate & steamy. Nice epilogue with HEA.
: 3.75 stars–DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE is the second installment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY erotic, romance duet focusing on billionaire businessman Donovan Kincaid, and PA Sabrina Lind. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately upon the events of book one Dirty Filthy Rich Men.
NOTE: DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN contains scenes of sexual assault, fantasy rape and aggressive sex, and may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from first person point of view (Sabrina Lind) DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE looks at the dysfunctional relationship between PA Sabrina Lind, and billionaire businessman Donovan Kincaid- a relationship built upon ten years of lies, obsession and a mutual kink between consenting adults that may not be everyone’s sexual fantasy.
Donovan’s obsession with Sabrina Lind borders on the psychotic- love is a term that cannot be applied to Donovan’s need for control, as his preoccupation with our heroine was disturbing and wrong. Sabrina’s entire adult life had been a lie, and with this revelation our heroine struggles with her attraction to the man who had controlled every aspect of her life- both personally and professionally –for close to ten years. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE focuses on the back and forth, push and pull of a relationship distorted by one man’s need for power and control.
DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE is a well written and engaging story line but I struggle with labeling Donovan’s action. I am probably in the minority but what others saw as passion, protective, love and seductive, I saw something disturbing, obsessive, over the top, and dangerous. In the real world, there are laws to protect victims from the what, why and how of Donovan Kincaid; DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE redefines and changes the boundaries of obsession, romanticizing that which would otherwise be dangerous and out of control. The premise is startling; the romance is controversial and intense; the characters are damaged, bold and alive. DIRTY FILTHY RICH LOVE’s rush to the finish was a little disconcerting; Sabrina’s need for Donovan Kincaid is the perfect complement to our hero’s questionable nature and the justification of his actions as protection and love.
