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

When Weston and Elizabeth’s lives are brought together over a business transaction that benefits them both, the rules are simple. 7 months, a fake wedding, ownership of the company, a real divorce. Easy right?
But when the lines begin to blur and they find themselves questioning what’s real and what’s not, can they make it to the altar, the future neither of them knew they wanted within their grasp? Or will it all be for nothing?
I love the dynamic between Weston and Elizabeth, the constant second guessing, the arguing, the incessant need to get one up on each other that turns into explosive making up sessions, it’s all so hot!
And then Laurelin leaves us hanging with a brilliant cliffhanger!
An amazing first half to the Dirty Games Duet, I can’t wait for the conclusion x
“I wanted to bite her lip for her. I wanted to tug her into my lap and gnaw on her like a puppy. She was a witch, I tell you. A witch.”
The ultimate enemies to lovers story!! If you’ve read Dirty Filthy Boys and Dirty Filthy Men, then you’ve met Weston King. Not only has he met his match , he may just have found his Queen.
Weston King is the ultimate ladies’ man. A one-and-done, girl in every port kind of man. Now, his business partner and best friend Donovan needs him to do the unthinkable for the sake of bettering the company. The only consolation is that the whole thing will be fake. She’s a witch. They don’t agree on anything. Every day is a battle between wanting to strangle her – and wanting to devour every inch of her. At the end of this arrangement, he’ll lose her. That can’t happen. Should he tell her, or finish this deal as promised, both getting something they want, and let her go?
Elizabeth Dyson is set to inherit her late father’s company – but only under certain conditions. Either she waits until she turns twenty-nine – and there may not be any company left at the hands of her cousin – or she has to marry. Striking a business deal with Donovan Kincaid, she’s now betrothed to the arrogant, irritating, and extremely hot Weston King. He pushes every one of her buttons – the ones that infuriate her, and the ones that leave her in a puddle of need. How long can she keep reminding herself that this is all make-believe while all the while she wants it to be real? Every day is a constant battle between her head and her heart – which one should she listen to? How is she going to survive walking away when this is all over?
I absolutely adored Weston and Elizabeth’s story! I want more and the next one can’t come soon enough!! Never saw that ending coming! If you haven’t read this series, what are you waiting for!!
Dirty Sexy Player by Laurelin Paige is the First book in the Dirty Games Duet. This is the story of Weston ‘Wes’ King and Elizabeth Dyson.
Wes is someone who enjoys women and his lo0ks along with his money get him plenty of them. When his friend and business partner suggested that maybe he should try to marry Elizabeth to help take over the competition. Elizabeth too is in need of marrying to get access to her trust fund…so a deal is worked out. But the pretend starts to get harder with each day their feelings grow.
This does end to set us up for the next installment in their story.
Really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one!
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
I’m sure there are still times in the free world where it behooves persons to marry to solidify their businesses. It just doesn’t seem appealing to me. Dirty Sexy Player features two such persons – Elizabeth and Weston. She can’t inherit her father’s company unless she’s married and Weston is volunteered to be the husband.
What neither of these two counted on was the emotions that immersing themselves into a “fake” relationship would become. Jealous is a green eyed monster though sometimes it can really show another the feelings you have for the other.
I thought this story didn’t give closure to some of the issues this couple has but there’s another book coming so hopefully they’ll be answered in there. There’s times I want to strangle Elizabeth and then shake Weston. Communication is key people! I don’t know any mind readers. Very few even in fiction! LOL
Weston King is one of the most eligible bachelors in New York. He owns a successful advertising agency called Reach Inc. with his best friend and business partner Donovan Kincaid. At almost 29, he’s well known as a player, and enjoys the single life. He plays hard, but works even harder. So when Donovan suggests an unconventional plan to grow their business, he see’s it as his chance to really contribute and make a difference. Reach is their future, and the benefits from this arrangement would last a lifetime.
Elizabeth Dyson is a 25 yr. old only child, and the sole heir of the Dyson empire. He father passed away about eight months ago, and to access her fortune and claim what’s rightfully hers, she must be 29 or married. She didn’t want to wait four years to take over Dyson Media, and was determined to find a way around the terms. Her father was traditional and controlling, and her uncle was running the business into the ground. If she didn’t act fast, there may be nothing left. She wanted a platform to shape her own legacy, and was prepared to do something drastic. That something drastic comes when she’s approached by Reach Inc. to merge their companies in the form of a fake marriage with an expiration date. Elizabeth would gain access to her family company, and this union would take Reach to the next level, and make them the biggest advertising company in Europe.
Weston steps up, and takes one for the team by agreeing to marry Elizabeth. He couldn’t believe he was even considering this, much less agreeing to this farce. They had to sell themselves as a couple through an engagement, and convince everyone their in love. It was to be a whirlwind romance and the relationship has to appear legitimate. They are just two people tied to each other through a temporary arrangement playing house.
Suddenly the part their playing begins to feel real. She makes him crazy, as they constantly clash, but the sexual tension is off the charts. She’s an outspoken, confident, sexy, intelligent woman, and a temptation he can no longer resist. He wants to get her out of his system, and explore these new feelings. It’s becoming harder and harder to play this game as their connection grows, and things turn physical.
Elizabeth is torn. Weston infuriates her, yet she craves his touch. He riles her up and confuses her. She desires him, and wants him to really be hers. They’ve become each others weakness, and both want more. Is their relationship still just a sham, or could they have a future together?
I really enjoyed this book! I’ve been dying for Weston’s story since we first met him in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys. I can’t wait for the conclusion to Weston & Elizabeth’s hot, explosive relationship in book 2 of the Dirty Games Duet.
Donovan’s cockeyed idea had Weston upset. Being a player used to having plenty of girlfriends the idea of spending seven months or more celibate with his “fake” fiancee was more than he could stand. Only the idea that their company would grow exponentially and his debt would be free and clear would convince him to sacrifice.
For Elizabeth, the thought of finally inheriting her father’s company was a dream, even if she had to put up with Weston’s messiness and his grumpiness. Her aspiration to run her father’s company and prove her worth was the driving force.
The two improbable individuals are the least likely to get along. The constant bickering was hard to take for both of them until they finally realized this was their version of foreplay. As the wedding gets closer, both of them cannot stand the “body heat”!
A magnificent story… this is only Part 1. Cannot wait to read the conclusion on November 12th when the conclusion is published.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing this book with me.
We first meet Weston and Elizabeth in Dirty Filthy Rich Men and Dirty Filthy Rich Love but if you thought you knew them and their story from thise books you were wrong this couples story goes way deeper than you could ever imagine and if you haven’t read the previous book you will still love this first book in the Dirty Games Duet. I really don’t want to write a review that’s full of spoilers you need to read this book to get into the dirty sexy world that Laurelin Paige is so good at giving us.
This is a story about a couple who spend most of their time arguing and bickering but that doesn’t mean they aren’t insanely attracted to each other he seems to constantly have a case of blue balls when ever he is around her and she is determined not to fall for the player she believes he is. Their relationship is fake it’s meant to be a business arrangement but this couple who can’t agree on anything start to realise feelings may be coming into play …..and just when we think it’s all going to be ok this author throws us another curveball and that leaves us waiting for book 2. Another brilliant read from the very talented Laurelin Paige, looking forward to seeing where the next book takes us.
This is Weston and Elizabeth’s story and it is awesome. The chemistry between these two are off the charts. We first meet Weston in Dirty Duet, a rich playboy. Dirty Sexy Player is a fake marriage story. Unfortunately, it does end in a cliffhanger.
Review copy was received for an honest opinion.
Dirty Sexy Player by Laurelin Paige was originally released as an Audible Exclusive and I absolutely loved it. Not that it is getting ready to be released in eBook format, I am excited more people will get a chance to read Elizabeth and Weston’s story! We first met them in the Dirty duet and I could not wait to get their story because you just knew there was so much more going on there! Though this is a standalone based in the same world, I would highly recommend reading the duet, as it is an amazing read, but does not need to be read to enjoy Dirty Sexy Player.
In Dirty Sexy Player, we find Weston and Elizabeth entering a marriage convenience orchestrated by Weston’s best friend. This marriage will allow Elizabeth to inherit and run the empire that should be hers by right and would allow Weston and his business partners to purchase the company they want. This was a business transaction where everyone wins. But being in this “relationship” would require Weston to behave. Which he is not used too.
I could not wait to get Weston and Elizabeth’s story. You could see the sparks between them in the Dirty Duet. Though Weston and Elizabeth knew it was only a business deal, they find themselves in a push and pull relationship with sparks flying in every direction whey they are together. I loved their banter and how much they fought what they both really wanted. They were so good together and the unexpected feelings threw them for a loop.
Weston was a player and never wanted to settle down. As a man who comes from wealth and privilege, he is used to getting whatever he wants when he wants. He could be a bit immature at times, but he was also a man with determination and full of sex appeal. Elizabeth is a woman from the same world as Weston but was a bit shy and not as experienced with men. But she was determined to succeed, though she needed Weston’s help to do so.
I have to say I was surprised by the ending and it left me wanting book two now! OMG! I love Laurelin Paige. She is a great writer that brings us stories we love and that makes us feel. Which is why she is a must-read (and listen) author for me. Loved Dirty Sexy Player! It was sexy, slow burning and a great listen! Highly recommend it and book two is almost here!

Happy reading!
4.25 stars–DIRTY SEXY PLAYER is the first instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY GAMES erotic, romance duet focusing on businessman and Reach Inc. partner Weston King, and twenty-five year old Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. Weston King and his business partner were first introduced to the reader in the author’s Dirty Duet Series. I am not quite sure where in the time line of this particular series the Dirty Duet series takes place but considering the premise of both, there is a possible cross-over and parallel story.
Told from dual first person points of view (Elizabeth and Weston) DIRTY SEXY PLAYER (first released in audio April 2018) follows the enemies to lovers/ fake romance-marriage trope between businessman Weston King, and Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. Upon the death of Elizabeth’s father Dell Dyson, founder, CEO and majority shareholder of Dyson Media, Elizabeth became the sole heir to the bulk of his fortune but circumstances prevent Elizabeth from taking over as her father added a misogynistic provision that Elizabeth must be twenty-nine or married before she is able to gain control. With her father’s cousin slowly dismantling the Dyson Empire, Elizabeth was desperate to secure her share of the family business. Enter Weston King, who, with the not so subtle push from his business partner Donovan Kincaid, reluctantly offers his hand in marriage in an effort to help Elizabeth gain control of Dyson Media, that in return merges Dyson advertising subsidiary with Reach Inc. What ensues is the acrimonious relationship between Elizabeth and Weston that is continuously impacted by jealousy, subversion, betrayal, secrets, lies and presumed expectations.
Weston King is a player who wants nothing to do with marrying Elizabeth Dyson, a woman he deems unworthy of his attention and time but desperate times call for desperate measures when Donovan makes Weston an offer he cannot refuse. Elizabeth isn’t happy about a marriage of (in)convenience but if it means saving her father’s company from a complete dismantling then a feisty Elizabeth is ready to do anything including marrying a man whose dislike for our heroine is palpable and heart breaking. Immaturity, misunderstanding and a distinct lack of communication are only some of the obstacles for our leading couple.
The relationship between Weston and Elizabeth is caustic, antagonistic and acidic. Weston’s belligerent attitude is off-putting, and his on-going need to throw his past sexual conquests into his fake-fiance’s face are petulant and immature. From the outset, their palpable sexual attraction is disguised by the bitter and testy back and forth. Elizabeth wants a no-sex relationship but all good ideas are overcome by want and need. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
We are re-introduced to Weston’s business partner Donovan Kincaid, an alpha male who controls Weston like a puppet on a string; Weston’s friends with benefits Sabrina Lind; fellow business partner Nate Sinclair; and Elizabeth’s mother Angela Dyson.
DIRTY SEXY PLAYER focuses on the hate-love relationship between a woman desperate enough to embark on a long-term business and marriage arrangement with a man who despises the ground upon which she walks. Faking her love for Weston is complicated by Weston’s need to hurt the woman with whom he is falling in love. The premise is spirited, clever and edgy: the characters are combative and colorful; the romance is provocative but struggles in the face of preconceived notions and the inconvenient truth. DIRTY SEXY PLAYER ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.
Loved this book!
Weston King is a player (a dirty and sexy one) who gets convinced by his business partner to marry a socialite in order to get business advantage. Elizabeth Dyson is a socialite caught in a loophole who needs to marry Weston to obtain control of her inheritance.
That’s where the fun begins. Weston and Elizabeth battle attraction, sometimes hatred, admiration, reputation, and love. And I got so caught up on this story I ended up exhausted because I read it in one day all the way to the middle of the night.
The writing is wonderful. The interpretation (by Elena Wolf and the one and only Jacob Morgan—have you experienced him yet?) is superb. Dirty Sexy Player was a good read. It was sexy, intriguing, and at times maddening. You know when you’re screaming at two characters just get it on already, you’ll feel much better? This was that book.
The ending will leave you shaking but lucky for us, the second part comes out in November.
I give this book five stars.
“Dirty Sexy Player” may be about Weston and Elizabeth, but his mentor Donovan is an important player in this tale of business, lust and love. He convinced Weston that it was necessary for him to marry the heir to the Dyson empire so they could take control of the European advertising market. In fact, Donovan even manipulated Elizabeth into thinking that this was the only way she would ever gain control of her late father’s company. Donovan had them in the palm of his hand and after much discussion, they agreed to the fake marriage.
Weston is a powerful and successful businessman who always has a different woman on his arm because he knows what they like and how to please them.. He looks good in a suit, has sexy dimples and intoxicating blue eyes. He never thought about settling down but sometimes your life needs to change in order to add meaning to your existence. He was immediately attracted to Elizabeth’s beauty and brains, but did she have the business knowledge necessary to run an international company?
Elizabeth is in way over her head when it comes to business, love and who to trust. She had planned to study for her MBA so she would be qualified to take over the company but when her father died, everything changed. At first she thought Donovan was her intended groom, but of course it was the sexy, skirt chasing Weston who was her husband to be. She believed that inner strength and positivity can get a person through any situation and she was determined to save the company at all costs.
Laurelin Paige has blessed us with another page turning story of love, sex and power, which I read all in one night and couldn’t put down. We have followed Weston from his days at Harvard to his partnership with his best friend Donovan. He met his match when it came to Elizabeth and was unprepared for the changes in his life Where will their relationship go? We will soon find out in “Dirty Sexy Games”, part two in this tantalizing new duet.
If you are looking for a slow burn then read this book. This is a first time read by this author, I would read more. I want more, to find out what happens next. The book is well written and the characters are fun. The hate love relationship between Weston and Elizabeth is great.
Gah…I’m still hot and bothered from reading Dirty Sexy Player! The sexual tension between Weston and Elizabeth is through the roof, but boy was this a slow burn. The way this couple came to be was unconventional, but it was a business proposition neither one could resist. What started off as a business transaction filled with disdain quickly turns into a lust/hate/love relationship. So many times during this book, I wanted to slap these two. They were both attracted to one another, but communication and kindness was definitely not a strength.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Elizabeth when I was introduced to her in Donovan and Sabrina’s books, but after reading her back story, she really grew on me. Weston is definitely dirty AF! I can’t wait for book 2, not only because of how flipping sexy Weston is, but because that ending!
Laurelin Paige definitely knows how to write in a way that leaves you wanting more!
Gahhh!!No, no, no, no!!
My head just exploded. Ka-boom!! Cracked. Busted, and making a mess all over the floor. Well, so it feels. Why? You ask? This book, that’s why. Let me tell you something. This book is fabulous, it’s brilliant, sexy, hot and has two snarly, snarky main characters that like to fight and argue and then make up. Who are these two? Weston King and Elizabeth Dyson, that’s who. You remember them, don’t you.
We first met Weston in the ‘Dirty Duet’ and it’s starter novella Dirty, Sexy Rich Boys, which is available free. We heard all about their meeting and fake engagement / wedding, and if you were like me, you wanted to know more. And that’s what we got. The truth behind the plans, the ploys Donovan inveigled to get Weston to do his bidding. Then we got the ‘feels’. First the attraction, then the hatred, then the falling, and boy do they fall. Deep and hard and truly. But, as with all duets, there has to be a cut off point and Ms. Paige sure picked a doozey. I’m not sure I’ll recover from this in time for the next part.
All I know is, I want it, and I for one, WANT IT NOW! November is just tooo faaar away!
THAT ENDING!!! Wha….*unruly sobbing*….WHAT?!?
If you’ve read the Dirty Duet, then you’ll know what’s coming from this new Dirty Games Duet, both good (actually, fantastic) and heartachingly sad.
Dirty Sexy Player is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to! Granted, I don’t have a ton I’ve listened to under my belt. But personally, it’s right at the top! We know from the previous books what the premise of the storyline is. But this time, we’re given a backstage look into the desperate circumstances and complicated relationship between Weston and Elizabeth. The heat, the chemistry, the conflicting emotions…all of it blends into a beautiful, and shocking, love story.
And to top off the incredible story, the narrators did an absolutely amazing job at portraying the ambience and nature of the characters. I felt, on numerous occasions, like a voyeur – like I was lurking in the shadows with binoculars, eating popcorn, just waiting and anticipating what was going to happen next.
I cannot wait for Dirty Sexy Games! I’ve never said this before, but November cannot come soon enough! And on a side note: when I die, I’m going to haunt Jacob Morgan…just so I can listen to him speak. All day, every day.
5 Stars!
Dirty Sexy Player will hook you from the first page! Weston and Elizabeth’s story is chalked full of delicious sexual tension,angst and heartfelt emotions. What starts out as a business arrangement quickly becomes so much more and boy do the sparks fly! That ending I didn’t see coming! Laurelin Paige has written another fantastic story with all the feels!
I could not wait for Weston and Elizabeth’s story and Laurelin Paige does not disappoint her readers. The chemistry between these two characters is off the charts. The arguing, the snide remarks between these two only to then result in hot passionate sex WOW. The words burn the pages. Deep down they are developing feelings for each other but not sure how the other feels and too afraid to let the other know. Their interactions will have you laughing one minute and breathing heavy the next. But it is not only their chemistry that makes them an awesome couple but how they are with each other. How comfortable they are if only they allow themselves to give into these feelings. Instead of thinking of the fakeness of this relationship and give into the real feelings that are developing. The only thing I regret is that I have to wait for November for the conclusion. All I can say is Holy Cliffhanger!!!!!
Another enticing, engaging and entertaining read from this wonderful author. Her characters come to life and leap off the pages into your head and heart. I can’t get enough of them. If you like sexy, powerful Alpha males with hidden vulnerabilities, grab this book and say hello to Weston King. I hope he steals your heart like he stole mine. This book will definitely be at the top of my 2018 list of favorite reads. Do NOT miss it!
ARC received for an honest review
4.5 steamy stars
If you have read the Dirty Duet, you think you know all about Weston and Elizabeth. This new duet will have you thinking about it all again.
Their story is hot and sexy, fighting really is foreplay with this pair – and they do like the foreplay!
I love the bite and snark between them. You can feel the sexual tension jump right off the page, and boy, I am still fanning myself a day after reading!
And don’t… jus’t don’t get me started on that ending – and the wait till November to find out what happens next.
Seriously, is it November yet?
