Welcome to Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rules. Get ready to get Down & Dirty because this is Linc’s story…For Linc, life was easy. But life’s about to change.The Dirty Angels MC is Linc’s life. The club his family. His lifesaver when he’d been drowning. Being a part of the club makes life easy for him. He wakes up, rolls out of bed, heads downstairs for grub, booze, women, … downstairs for grub, booze, women, whatever, before hitting the bar at night for work.
But then there’s Jayde. A dark-haired, blue-eyed beauty, a college graduate and an aspiring attorney. The first time he’d seen her hips swaying through church, he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. Since then, they’ve circled each other for years. But Jayde deserves better than him, so he’s kept her at arm’s length. Linc has nothing to offer her, while she’s poised to take on the world.
Not only that, she’s dangerous. Her father’s a cop. Her brother, too. Even worse, her oldest brother is the club president. And that’s the most dangerous of all. No matter how much he wants to touch her, smell her, taste her, make her his, he knows he’ll take his life into his own hands by doing so.
Jayde’s torn between her family and the forbidden pull of both Linc and the DAMC. Will a mistake they make finish destroying the Jamisons? Or will it heal the long-time rift between the club and her family?
Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, some violence and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who like to take charge, this book is for you.

I absolutely loved this book. Such a great story and I love revisiting the Down and Dirty MC. Linc and Jayde were such a great addition to this series and I loved their story. I can’t wait for more!
This book was heartbreakingly beautiful, you don’t know how much you want something until you have lost it. This story grabbed me with the very first sentence and I couldn’t put it down until the end. Jayde and Linc have been dancing around each other for a while, he is MC, she isn’t, she is a cop’s daughter! They were perfect together, their chemistry is amazing. I was on a rollercoaster throughout the entire book…one minute I’m laughing, then crying. I love the way Ms. St. James writes! She writes about deeply flawed characters whose actions and choices may have you shuddering or frustrated with them, but she takes you deeper into those actions and decisions: the reasoning, the heart, the brokenness, the flaws. So even if you want to whack someone upside the head, (cough Mitch cough), you still feel for them.
5 Emotionly wreck Stars
Linc is the 9th book in the Dirty Angels MC Series by Jeanne St. James. From the first page of this book I knew I was in an emotional read throughout. I loved Linc and Jayde, their story was not an easy read but it was so worth the book hangover i had the next day from reading this in one sitting.
This book takes us through Families that love each other but that are broken we no hope of repair. Linc was definitely a love/hate character within this story. One minute I wanted to slap hi the next I was loving him again. It guts you from the very first page and gets you right until the very end.
The secondary characters are all there in force and really make this a must read book within this series. I highly recommend Linc and Jayde’s story.
I’ve been following this series from the beginning and I’m so in love with these characters. Down & Dirty Linc is the 9th book in the Dirty Angels MC series and is one of the most emotional books in the series. This is Linc and Jade’s story, one that will evoke a range of emotions from you but a story that you will absolutely love. The other characters from the previous novel also play a major part in this story and provided great support and balance to the main characters. With romance, steamy scenes, action, heartbreak and a wonderful ending this novel kept you glued to the pages and was a phenomenal read. I would highly recommend it to all lovers of MC romance.
The audible version of this novel was narrated by Ava Lucas and J.F. Harding. OMG…these two were phenomenal in their portrayal of these characters. They were able to created differing voices for all the characters and bring out the varying emotions in this story. They both brought the story to life. It was a pleasure listening to them narrate this novel.
4.5 Stars ….Full of emotional writing about a young couple faced with an unwanted pregnancy only to find out they wanted the baby more than they knew. A tale of two people as they age and mature and find deep love through the struggles they face. It’s all about families loving one another, not just this one couple, but others also related by blood or brotherhood. I love this author’s writing style because her writing and the characters make me really feel. Highly recommend this one even if you don’t like biker books.
5 star review of Down & Dirty: Linc Dirty Angels MC #9 by Jeanne St James
Audio Review
Just when I think that Jeanne St James cannot give me another favourite bad boy biker, she does. I have been waiting for what seems forever for Linc and Jayde’s story in audio but boy was it worth the wait. From start to finish Jeanne St James and the narrators J F Harding & Ava Lucas drew me in and kept captivated with their narration which was spot on.
I have loved both of these characters since they were introduced earlier in the series and I knew that this pairing would be explosive on several levels, least of all for Jayde’s uptight policeman father and brother. Add in that her other brother is the President of the DAMC and trouble is sure to land on their doorstep.
This one was more emotional and I was captivated from the first to the last chapter. Linc knows that Jayde can do so much better than him and yet there is something between them that he struggles to ignore.
Both Linc and Jayde can no longer fight the intense chemistry that sizzles between them but giving in are they prepared for the costs that will be incurred? Will Jayde’s attraction to Linc and the DAMC finally destroy the Jamison family or could it heal the rift between the family and the club?
I love Ms. St James’s style of writing, she packs such a punch into her characters and her stories. Raw and gritty there is something about this series that truly captivates me and has now become my favourite MC series.
Down & Dirty: Linc
Dirty Angels MC, Book 9
By: Jeanne St. James
Narrated by: J. F. Harding, Ava Lucas
I don’t know how Jeanne St James does it, but every time I listen to one of her DAMC books, I think this is my favorite. Well, this one IS my favorite. Maybe because it includes so many of the characters from the series. Maybe because I have a soft spot for babies. Maybe because Jayde is such a strong, smart woman. Maybe because Linc is a tough yet passionate man. I just can’t put my finger on it, but as I listened to this book, and became involved in the story, I fell for every part. There is a flow to this one that really enraptured me, held me hostage as I listened, made me feel longing, hurt, pain, grief and love. St James gives it her all every time, but this one, yes, this one is the best!
Now with this book, the narration had to be perfect, and the choice of JF Harding and Ava Lucas could not have been more spot on. JF Harding has a way of narrating can give his character that edge, the one that makes him seem aloof, yet you can feel his passion underneath his exterior. Ava Lucas encompasses her characters and I feel her meld with the person as she reads from her heart. And together, they bring Linc and Jayde to life. I loved it!

I loved Linc and Jayde’s book! It’s probably one of my favorites from the series. Don’t get frustrated with the emotions at the beginning. I could not put this book down and finished it in 2 days.
Just when you think it does not get any better….WRONG! Ms. St. James has written one emotive and heart wrenching tale of two people from opposite sides of the tracks. Jayde is the daughter of a cop and the sister of the president of the DAMC so for her to get involved with Linc, a newly patched member of the MC, is not exactly in either one’s best interest. From the first page, the reader is left with eyes agog and mouth hanging in shock and the drama just keeps rising from there. These two are live wires that crack and hiss all the while simmering to connect together. This is one book that you MUST pick up and read! It can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the previous books in the series as they will all rev your engine.
I volunteered to read a copy of this book.
Once again Jeanne St St James has knocked another book out of the ball park with Linc . Really loved this story it was heartbreaking and tragic and brought me to tears on more then one occasion.
Love and loyalty was strong through out this book and it was good to see the interaction with all of the brother’s and other family members comes together to help Linc and Jayde out . Linc and Jayde had been dancing around each other for four year’s or more both wanting each other but Jayde being his presidents sister and also the daughter of a cop Linc couldn’t give in to what he wanted with Jayde but Jayde had other ideas. But soon both of their worlds would be torn apart and the remifications would bring themselves and everyone else around them to their knees.
I can’t wait for Crows book i loved the conversation he had with Linc at his tattoo shop how he was able to help put things into perspective for Linc just showed how deep that man can be .
The first sentence.
That’s what it took to know Linc’s book would be a highly emotional read for me.
I was book hung-over for days after finishing. I experinced the full spectrum of emotions while reading. I choked up, cried and laughed my hair off in equal measures.
I loved Jayde and Linc. I loved their heartbreaking and at the same time hopefully uplifting story.
A message to anyone who followed this series this far or is just about to start it.
You. Have. To. Read. This. Book.
This is another great book by Jeanne St. James. Linc and Jayde will pull right in and take you for a ride. They have to deal with her family of course and things don’t work out like you think. I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I was given this ARC book for a honest review.
MC romance has a new name, and its Jeanne St. James. She is easily one of my favorite authors. Jayde and Linc are hotter than fish grease. This book is sensually sexy yet emotionally gripping. It will have you on the edge of your seat. Be prepared for twist and turns, and you won’t want to put it down. Read it for yourself. It’s told in different Pov’s no cheating, no cliffhangers, and Jayde and Linc gets their hea. I highly recommend this book.
I’ve been waiting for these two characters to get their story and it was so worth the wait! Linc and Jayde’s story is quite an emotional ride and after everything they go through they deserve an HEA. This book has it all drama, danger, twists, misunderstandings, romance and so much more. Fair warning make sure once you start this book you have enough time to read it without interruptions, like sleep, because trust me you will not want to put it down until the last page. Great series and I look forward to reading the next book.
Linc and Jayde has quite a story. She’s his Pres’s little sister not to mention the daughter and sister of cops. He’s just a brother in the Dirty Angels MC. They have danced around their attraction for years but now unexpected circumstances bring them closer then they’ve been. Unexpected twist and turns, danger and family, another great story unfolds. Love the storytelling ability of this Talented Author. Highly recommend this book, series and Author. Looking forward to reading what’s next from her.
This MC romance quickly pulls you into Jayde and Linc’s story. With deep, powerful emotions, edge of your seat action and a surprising hint of sweetness, this book easily earns the five star rating I gave it. The characters are complex and so very likable. Jayde is everything a heroine should be. She is sassy and determined and is more than able to go toe-to-toe with Linc. Linc is a tormented hero torn between his desires and what he thinks Jayde deserves. A wonderful book and an excellent addition to this entertaining and enjoyable series.
Wow! Right from the first page you are sucked into a story that pulls and pushes you in every direction. So many questions asked and a ton of them answered as well!! I loved Jayde and how she was determined and refused to give up. Linc had his past that clouded everything he did but sometimes all it takes is a real wake up call to realize what you could really lose. I couldn’t put this down and I can’t wait for more.
Well it’s finally here Linc and Jayde story, and what I loved about this book was all the emotion you feel with the characters, not just those two but the family as a general. This book brings out a lot of real for me and I love that most. It was truly a beautiful read.
Everytime that I think I have a favorite male character from this series, another one comes along and Linc definitely did not disappoint me! The plot was well written and flowed flawlessly from page to page and the characters were so strongly written that as I turned each page I felt like Jayde and Linc jumped from the pages and pulled me right into their story as it effortlessly unfolded!
I love the DAMC, just love them! I didn’t think Linc would give me a story to top the others, but once again, I’m completely blown away! Linc was just coasting along as a brother, doing his job and living the life until he was tempted by the beauty that is all of Jayde. Jayde has an amazing family, but they’re divided by their loyalties, and she’s caught between a rock and a hard place. Can old wounds be healed? Will they survive this latest challenge? I’m telling you, be prepared to cry (bawl, really), yell, and scream. Don’t question it, just trust me on this. The entire series has been one amazing adventure after another, and it just keeps getting better! Love ’em, hate ’em, then love them all once more! That’s what they do, time and time again. I wish they would adopt me!
