A sexy new standalone novel from New York Times Bestselling Author Jo Raven.
DIRTY PRINCES is a laugh-out loud tale about a funny girl, her cat, and her two super-hot boys.
Author note: This book is funny, but also dark and angsty. It is NOT a love triangle. It is a relationship between three people (and a cat) with a happy ending.

As with any Jo Raven book, I am very impatient for the releases. Especially when I know it’s coming soon. Also, I have been known (often) to stop what I am currently reading and start her book. Jo Raven is a one-click author for me. I do not need to know what the book is about before reading them. I have been a fan of her writing all the way back to Asher, which was the first book I read.
With this series, Hot Candy, not only do we get her imperfect, often times emotionally broken characters, but there is humor to balance out those moments you want to cry.
Dirty Princes feature three main characters. This is a menage romance. Brylee, Riddick and Ryan. I loved all three of these soulful characters. Each has their own personality, and their own emotional issues, past and present. Brylee, Riddick and Ryan didn’t start off as a trio and there was some angst and even a bit of animosity but they were perfect for each other. I loved how, despite their need for each other, they always considered feelings. And their intimate moments were smoking hot!
There was some angst. Riddick was dealing with an addicted mother and a younger brother with his own issues. Ryan was dealing with his own issues that were fearful and emotional and not revealed immediately. Brylee is just fighting for her planned-out happily ever after. And it’s not going as ‘planned.” But Brylee is a fighter; she perserveres no matter the amount of set-backs.
As this sweet, sexy, passionate and oftentimes humorous story unfolds, I stayed engaged and engrossed in every moment. Jo Raven is a very talented writer. She leaves nothing out of her story; you’ll smile, laugh, cry, get frustrated and then be so damn relieved when the HEA comes. So worth the angsty wait. All of the ‘feels’ are there.
Dirty Princes was book three in this series. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Brylee in the first two books. She was very opinionated and flighty. However, after reading Dirty Princes, she more than redeemed herself for me. In fact, this book was my favorite of the three books so far. I say so far because I am hoping it is not the end. There is still Riddick’s brother Xavier and Brylee’s friend Simone who I hope will get their own book, whether it is with each other or or not. And if I know Jo, she won’t leave us hanging. She is a master at tying up lose ends and always wanting more.
*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this novel. My opinions are honest and unbiased.
Happy that we were getting Brylee’s story and very intrigued in how her story would be like. I really enjoyed it after Candy Boys 🙂 Definitely a 4-4,5 star for me!
Brylee has only one thing on her mind and that is to make Ryan Prince hers! She’s convinced that she’s perfect for him and won’t stop at nothing to make him see that. But Ryan won’t let anyone get close to him for his own reasons.
Even though she has set her eyes on Ryan, after meeting Riddick, there’s a spark between them she is desperate to deny and she won’t act on.
All three have that undeniable chemistry between them but nothing is easy in life and when Ryan starts to slip away from them, both Brylee and Riddick will discover all that’s hidden inside…
