A new sexy sports story from Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series! Down and Dirty is entertaining, funny, and sexy!
This might be my favourite so far,an Older woman younger man romance.
Landon is the Rookie within the Hockey team and his future is uncertain,so while in Vegas celebrating the up and coming wedding of his team mate Owen and his Fiance Becca.He is drowning in his sorrows at the bar and admiring the gorgeous woman on the dance floor.
Aubree is one of Becca’s friends who is Older than Landon,and joins him at the bar were they leave the party together and get blind drunk waking up a married couple.
This is then were the story gets interesting,as these two try to navigate being a married couple,getting to know eachother and unexpectedly catching feelings.
OMG I adored Landon he is the sweetest,he may have been only 23 to Aubree’s 30 years but he was more mature than others give him credit for and treated Aubree with respect.He wanted the commitment of marriage to Aubree when she was kind of unsure about the whole thing…and she was keeping a secret from him that could break them apart.
I really LOVED the whole process of Landon trying to woo Aubree and how he let himself be vunerable with her, breaking down her walls brick by brick.
Down and Dirty was a Joy to read and it was also very Sexy, I loved every single minute of reading this book.
Kendall Ryan has done it again,I am falling in Love with these Hot Jocks.
I highly recommend it.
5 Incredible Stars.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
While this is the 5th book of the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the prior books myself and they really weren’t needed to fully understand and enjoy this one. I will say that I do intend to go back and read them though.
I adored this book. It was one that kept me turning the e-pages! Then my heart broke when it ended. Why can’t the stories go on forever?!
Landon is such a wonderful hockey-playing 23 year old rookie on the team. Aubree is a 30 charity organizational worker. They go to Las Vegas with a bunch of team-mates of Landon’s to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of one of the team-mates. The day after they all go clubbing, Aubree wakes up to discover a “big rock” on her ring finger of the left hand. Plus there is some rustling of the sheets next to her! Apparently Aubree and Landon tied the knot Vegas style!
There were some really great scenes here that just had me laughing so hard, I had to temporarily put the e-reader down and wipe my eyes! There were some really tender and heart-wrenching ones as well.
I adored the dual POV format. This was especially helpful to reading Aubree’s character. She could get a little too snarky for me but then hey, she is a fictional character (even though it made me realize that Landon was fictional as well. Crying here!)
This is a sexy read that I would definitely recommend to anyone over the age of 18.
I absolutely love everything that Kendall Ryan writes. Down and Dirty is book #5 in her Hot Jocks series. This book focuses on Landon and Aubrey.
Aubrey is a career driven woman that has no time for a relationship. Landon is a young rookie hockey player that would love to find a woman to settle down with. Things take quite a turn for these two when they are in Vegas celebrating their friends upcoming wedding. Will they be able to work things out or will their little mishap tear their friendship apart?
I loved the connection between the Landon and Aubrey. The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline. It was fun catching up with the entire gang from this series. I can’t wait for the next book!!
I am loving Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks series so much! She has been creatively blending the friends-to-lovers trope with another to form distinct and personal romantic foundations for each couple in this hockey-themed series. Every single one of these stories has been unique, thoroughly entertaining and smoking hot. There are definitely feels to be felt in each of these romances, but nothing overwhelmingly angsty. Ryan layers in just enough conflict to keep readers engaged, but these stories are lighter-hearted, feel-good, pleasures to read. I simply can’t get enough of these completely swoon-worthy hockey players and their feisty, fiery women, and I am officially addicted.
Landon has just completed his rookie year, and even though he’s the new guy, his teammates have welcomed him into their crew. During a joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Vegas for his teammate, Owen, and his bride-to-be, Becca, Landon and Aubree, one of the bride’s best friends, learn that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there when they wake up after a night of drunken shenanigans with more than just a hangover.
Cautious and career-focused, Aubree’s main concern is their seven-year age difference. The thing about that, though, was that more often than not, it was Landon, the younger one of the two of them, who was the calm, cool voice of reason. He was mature beyond his years, decisive and determined. He knew what he wanted—an honest chance with Aubree to build something real. He was patient and thoughtful, and I loved how his introspections allowed him to be really open and vulnerable with her. He may have lacked some practical experience, but there was no mistaking his desire for her. His reverent explorations of her coupled with his natural alpha personality was so incredibly hot. The fact that they didn’t rush to consummate their relationship, focusing their intimate activities instead on discovering, learning and experimenting with each other, was even hotter. I’ll admit that there were times I was screaming in my head at Aubree to open her eyes and her heart to this sexy, kind and sweet man before her. It took her a while to get there, but once she did, she was all in.
Down and Dirty was another awesome story in a series full of them. Landon and Aubree’s chemistry was off the charts, and I loved their sexy, slow burn romance. This was one seriously swoony and steamy part friends-to-lovers, part fake marriage romance, and I devoured it in a day. Down and Dirty by Kendall Ryan gets 4.5 smooches from me!

How could you possibly go wrong with a beautiful older woman a sexy as sin younger man and an “Oops” marriage? Oh my…..the chemistry, the sweetness and the steaminess will have you sucked in from page one! I have loved each story in this series but I think this one has just become my favorite because Landon is just so swoony he melted my heart. Are you ready to get “Down and Dirty”?
Ooooh! Landon’s story is finally here!! I have been waiting, not so patiently, for his story and what a story it is!
Aubree and Landon get along like a house on fire! Their chemistry is white-hot and when they find themselves in Vegas, well what happens in Vegas doesn’t necessarily stays in Vegas!
First off, I love the older woman, younger man dynamic! Love knows no boundaries! I admired how Landon made Aubree feel confident in the fact that she was older than him and why it didn’t matter.
I also loved Landon’s innocence, I liked that he was saving himself for just the right woman.
This was a story I could not put down till the end. There is a bit of angst that kept me turning pages until the happy end!
I can’t wait to read what comes next from this world and team that Ms. Ryan has created!
This book was fantastic!!!!
Landon Convington seriously is the type of man that women dream of. He’s a true gentlemen. I love that about him. ** spoiler free review**
Aubree Derrick is awesome as well. The only problem she has is as attracted to Landon as she is she’s hung up on the 7 yr age difference. But Landon and their friends. dont see the problem.
This book was everything mixed together to make a great story. Drama ( lots of drama) Lot’s of laughs and a whole lot of sweetness
I didn’t care for this younger man / older woman trope due to the fact that 23 year old Landon was far more mature than 30 year old Bree. Landon would bend over backwards to do anything for Bree yet when she got frustrated or confused she would childishly run away.
Arc review For honest Review. This story has audree Derrick director of the teams charity organization and rookie hockey player Landon Covington of the ice hawks getting married in Los Vegas. These two both have some issues but this is a awesome story to read what these two do.
I loved this entire series. Each story is a stand alone, however all of the stories involve teammates on a pro sports team. Each couple has their journey, their obstacles to overcome and their chance at a HEA. I LOVED all of these books. I read them each in less than 24hrs and purchased each one as soon as it came out.
Great read.
Landon was such a sweetheart…OMG. And a virgin!! Too good to be true at 23…but he wanted her and to give it all he had. Great word building and story
Can’t wait to read the other in this series.
Wow, a virgin hockey hero?
There isn’t many hockey books with a virgin hero with the heroine is older that the hero. Landon Covington and Aubree Derrick marry after a drunken night in Las Vegas at mutual friends’ bachelor party. Landon and Aubree decide to date and see if they want to stay married but Kendall Ryan has written a pretty darn good story with just that premise so enjoy the story!
I did not enjoy it
Has it all, I loved it from the very beginning, because it sucks you into the story, and it proved that men can have feelings and emotions the same as women, even when they can’t always voice them. AND they can also have a very forgiving heart. I didn’t want to put it down, you just have to ignore the “F” bombs that pop up quite frequently!
I absolutely loved Landon and Aubree’s story! It was equal parts funny and heartfelt, and we get to see all of the Hot Jocks couples in it.
The whole gang is in Vegas for Owen and Becca’s bachelor/bachelorette parties and everyone seems to be having a good time except for Landon, whose feeling somewhat lost with his career future and love life. Then enters Aubree, who he’s had a semi-crush on for a while. They drink, dance, talk, kiss, and… get married that night. While Aubree is mortified about it the next morning, Landon actually wants to give their marriage an actual shot.
I liked that their romance was a little unconventional, as Aubree was the older one in the relationship (she’s 30 and he’s is 23) and Landon is still a virgin. It was watching the extremely career-driven, independent Aubree start to gain faith in Landon and their marriage at the same time Landon was learning how to communicate with Aubree so she didn’t get overwhelmed with the situation. There were definitely some super steamy scenes as the couple’s marriage started to heat up and their feelings for each other started to grow. There were also a lot of laughs too as the group of hockey players and their significant others weighed in on Aubree and Landon’s impromptu marriage.
The glimpses of Grant and Ana we got were great and I can’t wait to read their story next!
Making your wife become your real wife
Down and Dirty is the fifth book in the Hot Jocks series by Kendall Ryan. This is the story of Landan Covington and Aubree Derrick. This is a charming and amusing story where Landan and Aubree have known each other and liked each other but never pursued anything. That all changes when after a night of wild bachelor and bachelorette partying in Vegas they wake up to discover they got married. Yep they are physically attracted to each other but are they really meant to be together. While Aubree is ready for a quickee annulment Landan is not too sure and is thinking of a future with her. Now he just have to go about getting his wife to become his wife.
I loved this couple as they have a good amount of witty play between them and the predicament they find themselves in makes for some delightful and intriguing situations. This book is well written with a great story-line and a wonderful couple who you would totally love to have as friends. I would recommend Down and Dirty and the other books in this series to other readers.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
