A New Duet in the Dirty Filthy Universe from NYT Bestselling Author, Laurelin Paige.
It was Donovan’s idea. I don’t even know how he got me on board. Sure, I could use a break from the one-night stands and merry-go-round lovers in my bed, but I hadn’t thought that putting a ring on a woman’s finger was the answer. Especially not that woman. Elizabeth Dyson needs to marry to get access to her …
Especially not that woman.
Elizabeth Dyson needs to marry to get access to her father’s company and take over as president. If I take on the role of groom, she’ll hand over her advertising subsidiary to Reach Inc. the firm I own with Donovan, my supposed best friend.
Problem is that, even though the girl is confident and sexy and brilliant as fuck, she doesn’t know the first thing about running an empire. And she’s awfully particular about the wedding plans, even though it’s a FAKE wedding, for all intents and purposes. And we can’t seem to spend more than five minutes together without wanting to tear each other’s hair out.
Worst of all, I can’t stop imagining what it would be like to kiss her.
And soon I’m unsure how much of this business arrangement is just play and how much of it is real.
Book one of two.
“Paige has done it again with another scorching, obsessive read.” — New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent

Laurelin has amazed me yet again! In Dirty Sexy Player we get a story that fun and flirty, while also mixing in elements of angst and drama. She has done a fabulous job blending together everything you want in a romance. What we end up with is a surprising and a very entertaining journey of the unexpected pairing of Weston and Elizabeth and their arranged love story.
Elizabeth is the soon to be heir of her father’s company. Only one caveat, she must be married to inherit her company sooner than what her father dictated. She is desperate to step into the role and inherit her trust fund before the company falls apart at the hands of its current standing CEO, her conniving relative.
Weston agrees to marry into her family as a means to help his company gain ground in the takeover of their largest competitor. He’s an arrogant and cocky playboy that you just don’t see falling into this story as deep as he does. He’s supposed to be playing a part, but soon finds himself consumed with his fake fiancé.
Their journey is such a fantastic one to behold, I am dying to know what comes next. This is set to be part 1 of a duet, and now I am itching for part two. I want the other half of Elizabeth and Weston. I want to know what obstacles they overcome and what hindrances might be too much for them. The cliffhanger on this one, WEW!
This is an offshoot of the Dirty, Filthy, Rich Men world. Weston is offered the chance at a sham wedding to secure an heiress’s inheritance. Elizabeth wants to run her father’s company but his will specified she had to be a certain age or married. She opts for marriage.
Weston and Elizabeth have a great enemies to lovers vibe. Lots of tension and sexiness. Super sexy and hot. Weston is an irresistible playboy. Plenty of humor balanced with delightful tension. Part of a series but this wraps in a great place. I like seeing this universe from a new perspective. I liked the alternating perspectives. I am looking forward to the next installment. Laurelin Page always delivers a well thought out and plotted book with spice!!
Weston King is the king of players. He works hard and he players harder but all of that is about to end when his business partner and friend comes up with probably the craziest idea he has ever heard. Marry the privileged princess of Dyson Media, Elizabeth Dyson.
Elizabeth may not have a job or know anything about running business but she is smart. A fake marriage isn’t what she had in mind for how her life should go, but it truly was the answer to her current problem. There was an instant attraction between Weston and Elizabeth from the very first time they met, they just needed to keep reminding themselves that this was a fake relationship, a business arrangement that would benefit both of them. Some things may be easier said than done.
I absolutely love the fire and the passion between Weston and Elizabeth. They fought the attraction, the pushed each other away, the bickered about everything. Nothing like a little fighting to ramp up the sexual tension. You can only fight the inevitable for so long. Their relationship may have started out as fake, but it doesn’t feel so fake anymore.
This is book 1 of the Dirty Games Duet and let’s just say it is going to be a long wait for book 2 to be released (thankfully the audio will be released soon!). I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for Weston and Elizabeth, especially after that drama and cliffhanger!
If you love enemy to friends romance stories with a twist of marriage of convenience then this is definitely as series that you should check out. Laurelin knows how to take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
****ARC provided in exchange for an honest review****
This book had me all hot and bothered! This Dirty Sexy world has some of the hottest, alpha men ever! I loved meeting Weston in Donovan’s book and now we get his and Elizabeth’s story!
These two clash so much and their sexual tension is off the charts! I loved the heated banter that turns into so much more. Weston is so sexy in how the last thing in the world he wants to do is get married, but when he starts to get to know Elizabeth, the last thing he wants to do is lose her. Elizabeth tries to fight her attraction to Weston knowing it’s just a business deal, but their chemistry is just too hot.
This is only part 1 of a duet and I’m anxiously waiting part 2!!!
This book is written in typical Ms. Paige style with well thought out characters. The men will have you swooning and Elizabeth is a strong leading lady with a lot of sass and is able to hold her own in Weston’s world. Great read!!!
Another hot and steamy story in the King-Kincaid saga. Warning: This does end with a cliffhanger. This book features Weston King and Elizabeth Dyson. (Both have roles in the Filthy Rich Boys series… his more predominate than hers.) The timeline overlaps that series as well, so if you are familiar with those books, you’ll see some of the same scenes, just from a different person’s perspective. Though you do not need to read those to follow this book.
This is a fake fiance’ story. She needs to be married to claim ownership of her deceased father’s company. So she is offered a husband in exchange for a portion of the company once she gains ownership. Everything is fake, for show only, until it isn’t. There are a couple unexpected twists, at the end, of course, leaving us with the cliffhanger.
The story is very sexy and passion filled. Plenty of sexual tension between the characters. It is a more serious read. Not dark, but heavier. The characters are smart and strong, though emotionally vulnerable. Definitely meant for mature readers.
*I volunteered to review an ARC of this book.
Dirty Sexy Player is book 1 in the Dirty Games Duet and follows Weston and Elizabeth’s story.
Weston is your typical wealthy, successful playboy. He doesn’t do commitment, he doesn’t even really do more than one night. He never promises a woman anything more than a trail of explosive orgasms.
Elizabeth always wanted to run her late fathers company, but he never saw her as anything more than a pretty face. She’s had to sit back and watch her cousin break apart her beloved company unable to do anything about it. Until she can………… with Weston’s help.
It should be simple right? 7 months, a fake marriage, ownership of the company, what could go wrong?
WOW!!!!! What a story!!!! And that ending, I wasn’t expecting that at all!!!! I loved the love/hate push/pull of Weston and Elizabeth’s relationship. The passion, angst, the arguing, the making up, all of it was written brilliantly I truly felt like I was there witnessing it all first hand! It was emotional and nerve wracking reading he build up to the big day, the will they / won’t they keeping me glued to those last few pages.
And then the bomb dropped, and I shouted at the kindle and threw it across the room! Just when I thought everything was good, BAM , and then it ended!!!! GAH!!!!!
Laurelin never fails to draw us in with these sexy, powerful men, with their hidden agendas and twisted minds, she really knows how leave us begging for more!!! I don’t want to wait til the end of the year to find out what happens!!!!
Another fantastic book from Laurelin Paige, I can’t wait to get the answers to all the crazy questions whirring round my head!!!
5 huge stars x
This scorching, sexy, enemies to lovers romance was infuriatingly captivating! Weston and Elizabeth become partners in an attempt to save Elizabeth’s rightful inheritance. They pretend to be in love and have a whirlwind romance, engagement and marriage. As they spend more time together, their initial attraction grows into fiery chemistry. Weston is unapologetic about his playboy ways. But when this smart sexy woman challenges him at every turn, he starts to give in to their attraction. Elizabeth wants to believe they can be more but is reminded by others that it could never be real. Weston and Elizabeth were so infuriating at times as they fought their attraction, but I found myself cheering for their HEA. The twists and turns this story took had me on the edge, and I never saw what happened at the end, coming. I need to find out more about these two and where they go from here!

Story Review:
If you read Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love, you would think you already got Weston and Elizabeth’s story but you would be so wrong. You get some repeated scenes except this time you get them in Weston and Elizabeth’s POV.
I was so wrong with my assumptions of what was happening when I read the same scenes in Donovan’s books. There were only a few repeated scenes, so no worries that you are just getting a repeated story. You’re not.
Also, You don’t have to read Donovan and Sabrina’s books first to enjoy this book. You would not be lost. If you did read their book first, you do get a bit more revealed for Donovan. Manly just my assumptions being wrong again. Donovan was so secretive in his book and I think you get to see more of his manipulations in this one and you’ll understand him a bit more.
I found it pretty funny the way these two fumbled their way into love. Man is Weston clueless. I also liked Elizabeth more. I just wasn’t sure about her in Donovan’s books and she wasn’t as bratty as I thought she was.
This does end on a cliffhanger but the author has made it known that she plans on writing duets for all the guys, so it was expected. I’m really looking forward to the next book! I believe the next book will be all new material, no more repeated scenes. I’m pretty sure we will be past the time line from Donovans books.
Dirty Sexy Player is Weston and Elizabeth’s story and can be read as a standalone. If you are looking for a smoking hot romance with high sexual tension and an engaging plot, then this is definitely the book for you. This book is so thigh clenchingly good and a fantastic enemies to lovers story.
For reasons that are mutually beneficial to them, Weston and Elizabeth are pretending to be engaged which will lead to a fake marriage. Initially they hate each other and they are constantly at each other’s throat. Dirty Sexy Player is filled with desire, lust and passion. And when Weston and Elizabeth finally give in to their sexual desires, it is explosive. There is definitely more to their book than just sex and Ms. Paige does a great job of creating a well written storyline combined with angst and drama. I was not expecting the ending as it was a really good plot twist!! I’m on pins and needles waiting for Dirty Sexy Games.
Dirty Sexy Player is Weston King and Elizabeth Dyson’s story. If you read the Dirty Duet then you know about some of Weston and Elizabeth’s relationship. Weston and Elizabeth both annoyed me at times but I did like them. They had hot sexual tension and chemistry! I wasn’t sure how their relationship plan would all play out and that ending is torture! I am dying for the next book!
This book was absolutely amazing. I loved reading this book and I totally recommend it.
You get to learn more about Weston and Elizabeth. Weston is this dreamy sexy man that loves to be a player until he meets Elizabeth. The way he carries himself and the way he is around woman shows you that he is the man in charge. I love Weston. The way he got dragged into this arrangement makes him a good, helpful man. At first him and Elizabeth definitely didn’t get along. It was funny to watch them bicker and go back in forth with one another. Elizabeth is a smart beautiful woman. She puts on a front showing people that she knows what she is doing but deep down she doesn’t have a clue. She wants her share of her father’s business and finds a way to get it. And marrying Weston is the only way to get it.
I absolutely love them together. They are made for one another. I hope they can work out their issues and be able to be with one another. It does end with a cliffhanger.. I can’t wait until November. ARC provided by the author
OMG that ending was….. “holy crap I didn’t see that coming”. Laurelin Paige you are a naughty talented author.
Laurelin Paige just lets her magic flow through her words. The story so tantalising and enjoyable you will be smiling from start to finish. Weston and Elizabeth’s characters are so well put together and suited to each other that you have no choice but to get right in to their characters and fall in love with their story.
There’s nothing like hot and sexy with some good humour on the side. Laurelin has covered all the bases with this book.
This scorching read in the Dirty Universe is outstanding and I’m just going to rock in the corner waiting for more of the Sexy Player Weston and the Beautifully Sassy Elizabeth.
I love Laurelin Paiges books and some of my very favorite ones, are those from the Dirty Series. The moment I met Donovan and Sabrina, I was also intrigued by Weston. By the time I finished the Dirty Filthy books, I knew that I wanted to know Weston’s story and what really happens between him and Elizabeth. Well, I got my wish and I definitely enjoyed this story. It was intriguing to get to know the characters and read how their relationship develops.
Though initially the relationship between Weston and Elizabeth is all fake, the feelings that start to develop between them with the time they have to spend together, are very real. But secrets and past mistakes are threatening to destroy the fragile relationship that has developed between them.
If I have to be honest, I was at times a little bit disappointed by Weston’s character. There were times when he was more a beta than an alpha male. Especially in his interactions with Donovan. I guess, I expected him to be a little bit dominant than that. Though in his interactions with Elizabeth, things were slightly different. I think that’s the main reason I rated the book with 4 stars and not 5. On the other side, the audio was superb 😀
I am not saying a word more, as I don’t want to spill the beans 😀 But keep in mind that there is a cliffie that might affect the health of your kindle or listening device 😀 So, be careful 😀 As for me, I can’t wait until the second book comes out 🙂
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Hot Damn Weston King is just that. The king of his domain. He’s sexy, Cocky and full blown alpha
Donovan Kincaid has come across a business opportunity but needs Weston to play along.
Elizabeth Dyson is the sole inheritor of the Dyson Empire, but her father’s condition was that the only way she can take over the company is for Elizabeth be married.
Donovan being the business opportunist sets up Elizabeth and Weston to play fake happy couple until the merger goes through. But what happens when true feeling start coming into play.
Can these two who end up living and hating eachother make it work?
That twist at the end left me thing What The!! Cant wait to see how things pan out in the next book.
It was great to hear Weston & Elizabeth’s story; I fell in love with Weston in Dirty, Filthy Rich Men. He was the ultimate in fcuk ’em and leave ’em wide boy! That is until he agreed to take part in Donovan and Elizabeth’s scheme for her to take control of her company Dyson Media, currently being run and sold off in parts by her cousin thanks to her Dad’s will. The story of fake fiance has been covered many times, so it wasn’t original enough to warrant 5 stars.
Told from a dual POV; the book takes a steady pace as Weston and Elizabeth both start to have true feelings for each other. However, due the usual farce seen in these types of story things get said and taken out of context and both the hero and the heroine won’t confess that their feelings are actually turning into true feelings! A good couple of sucker punches towards the end leaving the reader on the edge of their seat. You just know that happily ever after doesn’t come easy. The day of the wedding everything goes to hell in a hand cart! Just when you think everything will be OK, the author snatches that away… Hello cliffhanger!
“It was just a kiss and I felt like he was undressing me. Just a kiss, and I felt like he was discovering things about me that I didn’t even know about myself . Just a kiss, and I never wanted him to stop kissing me.”
OMG. I. WANT. MORE. WESTON. KING! Ever since Dirty Filthy Rich Men I’ve been craving Elizabeth and Weston’s story and I am not disappointed. It is filling in so many blanks, and answering so many questions I was curious about. Dirty Sexy Player was a explosive, chemistry fueled, unconventional love story. I could NOT devour the pages quick enough. I read this book in one sitting. I have never seen so much drama in one book. It definitely took enemies to lovers to a whole nother level. Weston and Elizabeth are like gasoline to the others fire, constantly fueling changing emotions in the other person. The chemistry between these two characters was SMOKING HOT. Their sexual tension sizzled from your kindle pages. While their easy banter and vulnerability warmed your heart. I was rooting them on from the very first page. THAT ENDING THOUGH, HOLY CLIFFHANGER!! It seriously destroyed me! Just when you think one thing the author pulls the rug out from under you. I never saw any of that coming. I was not ready for the story to end! I WANT MORE! I am definitely on pins and needles for November.
“It wasn’t an orgasm that I wanted . It wasn’t a business arrangement I wanted. I just wanted her.”
Elizabeth won me over from the start. She was one of those heroines you simply couldn’t help but like. She was ambitious, strong willed, and a absolute spit fire. I loved her drive, and willingness to do anything possible make a difference, and get the legacy she desperately deserved. It was Elizabeth’s vulnerability that made her the most relatable. I loved she wasn’t afraid to admit When she was scared. I also found her willingness to admit she didn’t know everything she should and constantly strive to learn admirable.
“I had expected that Weston would be drop dead sexy when he walked out of the dressing room— I just didn’t expect to actually drop dead from his sexiness.”
Weston King was so much more than I ever expected. He was one contradiction after another and I couldn’t get enough of every facet. Weston had me swooning over his charm, while melting with his dirty mouth. He is not considered a dirty filthy rich man for nothing. His vulnerability and emotions was all over the place. I almost felt bad for the guy, almost. I would be lying if I said I didn’t love every minute of watching the playboy fall.
“It was the same game we always played— the push and pull. The I hate you/ I want you. The poke and prod.”
*5 STARS*
Well earned for one of the most explosive reads of 2018. Weston and Elizabeth are one power couple you do NOT want to miss.
A great read. This is Elizabeth and Weston’s story. It’s sexy and captivating. It will have you feeling all sorts of emotions. It has characters you will love. I enjoyed the banter and the chemistry between the characters was sizzling and steamy! I’m enjoying reading about their journey as their relationship grows. It’s entertaining and look forward to reading(listening) to more.
The audio narrators Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan did an incredible job! Their performances were captivating and entertaining and brought the characters heat level to life. Jacob Morgan’s voice is sexy!
Be warned, Weston King is a Dirty Sexy Player and I love him and this new Duet! The writing is phenomenal and the back and forth between the main characters is a thing of beauty! There’s a very thin line between love and hate and these two play a game of jump across it; one minute they’re fighting and arguing, tearing each other apart, and the next they’re they’re fighting and arguing. tearing their clothes off. Lots of steam and dirty talk involved trust me!
If you’re familiar with the Dirty Filthy Rich Series then you know who Weston is; one of the shareholders of Reach Inc., a very successful ad agency and an unapologetic dirty and sexy player who has no intentions of ever settling down. Or that was until his business partner and friend, Donovan Kincaid, makes him an offer he can’t refuse. So Weston decides to go along, how bad can it be?
“Imagine how she would have reacted if I’d treated her to a night at the Weston Inn. Dirt and filth were the house specialty—money back guaranteed.”
Elizabeth Dyson, the sole heir of the Dyson Media, can’t get her hands on the business she just inherited until she’s twenty-nine, or married. She can’t wait four years; Elizabeth’s concerned her cousin, the current CEO, will either try to permanently take over the business or sell it off before she can take over. So she makes a deal with Donovan, who offers Weston as a sacrificial lamb. A fake marriage that they’ll have to convince everyone is real. They’re going to have to get to know each other very well if they don’t want anyone to discover the truth. It’s going to take a lot to convince Elizabeth, or so Weston thinks.
“It was just a kiss and I felt like he was undressing me. Just a kiss, and I felt like he was discovering things about me that I didn’t even know about myself. Just a kiss, and I never wanted him to stop kissing me.”
There are a few bombshells that left me shocked and wondering how this story will be resolved and I have to confess I wanted to throw my Kindle at the wall at the end, when I found out it ended in a HUGE cliffhanger! I didn’t, because I love it so much and it’s not Kindle’s fault, but I did curse and maybe bang my head against my desk a few times…ouch, it still hurts! November seems a very LONG way off, dagmabbit **banging my head on my keyboard**
I have waited for Weston King’s story and excited that it was so much more than I could ever dream of!!! Dirty Secy Player is as dirty as it can get…or can it? Since this is book one in the Dirty Games duet, I am sure that there will be plenty more yummy scenes coming our way. I was on the fence with Elizabeth for awhile. Though at the end, I am still at a toss up. My heart beats wild for Weston while I read through each page. Dirty Sexy Player will keep your heart beating and temperature rising all the way through the end. I love the characters and I love the story line. I am hanging on a thin piece of thread until book two is here! This story was perfectly written by one of my favorite authors. This book will have you begging for more!
Weston and Elizabeth are going to the chapel and it’s one streamy trip to the aisle. Her father was the definition of absent all her life but he just had to get in one last parting shot even from the grave. If she wants to over Dyson Media she needs to find herself a husband and be in line with daddy’s last will and testament. When she’s approached with a deal that gives her the husband she needs she isn’t sure exactly what the catch is until she meets her perspective groom… Weston King. He’s a player that knows just how handsome and smart he is and those two things are making him the most dangerous choice for this little charade. Weston likes his life just how it is thank you very much. He has no shame with his reputation and thrives off this prowess. When Donovan comes to him with his little Faustian deal with terms he frankly cannot pass up he figures he will just have to grin and bear it. He wasn’t counting on Elizabeth Dyson though. She is smart and beautiful, which is muddling with his head. He cannot stop thinking about the woman that shall be his even if it’s in name only. Book 1 of 2 will have you absolutely clamoring for the conclusion but watching these two fight and fall is so worth the wait.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book
