Welcome to Shadow Valley where the Dirty Angels MC rules. Get ready to get Down & Dirty because this is Slade’s story… answers. He had no plans to patch into another club, even one like the DAMC, and he certainly wasn’t looking for an ol’ lady. Especially a ball-buster like Diamond, who could singe the hair off a brother’s nuts with just a look.
DAMC born and bred, Diamond was ready to give up on becoming an ol’ lady until the heavily tattooed biker rolled into town on his Harley. Problem is, months later Slade’s still a mystery. He never talks about himself or his past, and Diamond wants answers. But she’s not quite ready for what’s uncovered: secrets that could very well implode the club. It doesn’t just bring Slade’s loyalty into question, but forces Diamond to make a choice she doesn’t want to make. A choice that affects not only Slade, but the whole MC.
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 was waiting for Slade, and oh holy h#ll was I ever blown over! Slade is the ultimate Alpha Biker, sexy, grouchy, and overbearing. He likes things easy, doesn’t want anything to hold him down, definitely not an Old Lady. He’s still searching for some truths from his past.
Diamond has grown up in the DAMC, and has always known she would be an old lady. She just never thought it would happen since she basically see all the guys as family of some sort. That was until Slade walked in. Yeah, she’s got a stubborn side and a B!tch switch like no other, but it’s all for good reason.
Watching Slade and Diamond circle around each other was a pure pleasure. They had untouchable heat and passion, as well as sexual tension off the charts. The journey they take was incredible and I can’t wait to read the next book!
Love the series, love love loved this one!
Slade has been searching all his life for a place to fit in, looking for a home. Finally, after becoming a patched member (even though that didn’t go as planned) of the DAMC, he feels he has found the family he has always been searching for. However the secrets of his past could cost him everything including his life! Diamond and Slade’s story will keep you on your toes. Diamond has always wanted to be an ol’ lady and Slade is on a mission to find information. Together they are a powerhouse of sparks that create an inferno. I love these stories, and the drama keeps getting better and deeper.
4 Slade and Diamond Stars
Slade is the 6th book in the Dirty Angel MC Series by Jeanne St. James. Slade is searching for something and he’s just not sure what that is. He wants Diamond but he’s never going to settle down and therefore wants nothing to do with her. But he can’t help but go back for more after he gets a taste of her.
Diamond is turning 30 and wants to find an ol’man of her own. She wants the house, the home and the gamily but she is losing hope that she will find the right man to do this with. Being the hard headed woman who takes no nonsense from anyone including a man, she may never find what she is looking for!
I love the banter and the flow of this book and don’t get me started on the Birthday scene! I really didn’t think I would like this book or Diamond but I was pleasantly surprised! As always with St. James’ books the secondary characters are great and what make her books so entertaining to me.
Slade and Diamond, what a pair. Di sure knows how to push his buttons but he finally relented, “Just a strong woman not taking xx## from anyone. Got a flame inside you that burns bright, see it now”. Absolutely love this series and I’m going to continue this this series and the spinoffs. Highly recommend Ms. St. James. Never saw the twist coming in this book, awesome.
4.5 Stars
Diamond and Slade made a great couple. She’s strong, independent and takes no crap off any of the men. Slade has never had a real home. Abandoned as a child, he’s on a quest to find his father and wonders if there will ever be anyone who wants to love and keep him. He’s hot, alpha and starts off thinking he doesn’t ever want to be tied down to one person. I loved the way the author plotted the action making me keep wondering what was Slade’s real purpose in Shadow Valley. Was he loyal or not to the MC? A really good love story with two characters who have to work to make their relationship be what he should. No cheating and a HEA. I really like this series. Each book gets better .
Down and Dirty: Slade is the 6th book in the Dirty Angels MC series and another fabulous addition to the series. With action, steamy scenes, suspense and romance this novel had me hooked from beginning to end. There were twists and turns I was not expecting and I could not put it down.
I’ve been following this series from the start and I will admit each book gets better and better.
I loved Slade and Diamond together. They were hott and explosive when they finally got together, yet they were a perfect fit. We got a bit of back story with these two characters which took this story to another level and will totally blow your mind.
I listened to the audible version of this novel which was narrated by Ava Lucas and Aaron Shedlock. These two did an exceptional job with the portrayal of these characters. Their timing and delivery were spot on and they brought the story to life.
Down and Dirty Slade was an engrossing page-turner and I loved every moment of it. I would highly recommend this book to all lovers of MC romance.
Diamond and Slade have been sniffing around each other for a while now. Love how these two are with each other. More and more of the back story about the conflict between the Dirty Angels and the Warriors is told in this book. We also get the first glance at Rocky, Jewell, Jag & Diamond’s dad who is in prison. A good book in the series.
Jealous much Slade, is my first thought as this story unfolds and you sit and watch Diamond with the male strippers, I listen to your intermonologue, at her birthday party, then you act on your attraction. Way to go.
It’s a shame that history has to get in the way and of course the Shadow warriors have to cause trouble and evoke more old wounds, plus memories better off forgotten are brought to the surface. When you think there would be animosity between the two the bond only gets stronger.
Love the way Jeanne St. James brings these two together, love even with all the revelations there is only love. Brings this couple to the top of my list. Also I have to give a big shoutout to the narrators Ava Lucas and Aaron Sherlock way to go, you brought Diamond and Slade into living color if only in my minds eye. Thank you.
I loved Slade and Diamond’s story! Slade is an MC member with no family connections to the club so he is a bit mysterious, but oh, so hot! You won’t be disappointed.
Let me start off by saying I am a fan of Jeanne St. James books and the DAMC series is the first MC series I have listened to. I absolutely loved this listen. It was gritty, raw and woah that twist!!! Ohhh and HOT!!!! I am a huge Ava Lucas fan and love all her work. She is fantastic. Aaron Shedlock is a new to me narrator and OMG!! Where has he been my whole life! He is my new fave. Love him, love Ava, love the story! More please.
5 star review Down & Dirty: Slade (Dirty Angels MC # 6)
Audio Review
I really love Ms. St James’s style of writing, she packs such a punch into her characters. Raw and gritty there is something about this series that truly captivates me.
From start to finish Jeanne St James and the narrators Aaron Shedlock & Ava Lucas drew me in and kept my attention.
Slade and Diamond are meant to be together. That is the if the secrets Slade has kept from her and the other DAMC members come to the surface. When their complicated pasts collide, will the truth shatter their relationship or can they build a future?
I loved how all in Slade and Diamond were in their relationship. Diamond is not afraid to stand up to Slade and the men of the DAMC . Her feisty attitude and the obvious love she has for the DAMC and their woman was awesome. I absolutely adore Diamond but it is Slade who captured my heart, he was totally swoon worthy.
Loved Slade. Every book in this series just keeps getting better and better. I love how all the characters are in every book and get along so well with each other. Love Slade and the mystery behind him. There is just something definitely not about him. So happy that a girl could take him down. Well written enjoyable from beginning to end. Highly recommend reading this one.
Loved this book. I have been looking forward to this one since Axel and Bella’s book. It was worth the wait. I loved that Slade and Diamond changed for each other and showed who they really were. They were able to overcome a major hurtle to be together. I also love that we get glimpses into past relationships. The story line line was easy to follow and the drama kept me entertained. There was quite the twist in there that I didn’t see coming. Also as always, the book was hot!!! The epilogue was amazing also. I will always love Diesel for some reason. Lastly, the first chapter of Dawg…..why did you have to do that to us 🙂 now we have to wait for it
Simply fantastic!
Wow, Slade. Where to begin?
Slade and Diamond’s story is now the sixth addition to the Dirty Angels MC series by Jeanne St. James.
I think it takes a very good author and exceptionally good plots and characters for a series to be so entertaining and thrilling even after the sixth book. These books are getting better and better with every new character and plot-twist Ms. St. James conjures up.
Diamond wasn’t a favorite character of mine in previous books but this time I got to know her character a bit more and she wasn’t all that bad actually.
I liked Slade’s quiet broody personality. It was a good counterpoint to Diamond’s infamous bitchiness.
Slade’s denial regarding his feelings was so fun to read. Once again how the mighty have fallen!
I loved the twists and turns in the story too.
What is to be said about this sixth book of the Dirty Angels MC series? It is one emotional, raw, explosive, page-turning read! It can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the prior books. Slade and Diamond are perfect for each other although they have a few hurdles to get through. Slade is not looking for an old lady and the last person he would ever consider is Diamond because of her no holds barred personality that sometimes has her acting like a shrew. By comparison, all Diamond wants is to be a biker’s old lady. However, she would never consider any of the existing brothers and has hopes that something could happen with Slade. These two act like two animals stalking one another and it is only a matter of time before one launches first. Yet when they finally do get together, on Diamond’s thirtieth birthday, all bets are off and the game has changed. Things are going well until Diesel throws a wrench in the mix as he has encountered some news with regards to Slade’s past that affects not just the MC but Diamond personally as well. How will Slade deal with learning the truth of his past? Will Diamond get to be an old lady or will she lose her chance? I love Ms. St. James’ authentic and real writing style depicting the true to life experiences of a MC. This book is full of drama, steamy and explicit scenes, and twists and turns that will have you gasping for breath. I cannot wait for what this author will be writing next in this series.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.
Slade has always been searching for something, searching for a home. He stumbled upon Shadow Valley and the Dirty Angels MC and stepped in when a situation went sideways. Because of that he got patched into the club immediately, no prospecting for him. He hung out with the MC princess Diamond a bit but then gave her the cold shoulder. When he sees she is about to celebrate her birthday in a spectacular way with two strippers, he can’t stand it anymore. He convinces her to come to his room and he will give her a present she has been hoping to get; him. Diamond was hurt when Slade just stopped hanging with her a while back with no explanation. Faced with getting into bed with him, she can’t pass it up. But when the night is over, Slade kicks her out. Diamond has a rep in the club for being, lets say difficult to deal with. But Slade’s attitude really hurt. Slade soon regrets how he left things and realizes he wants more. But will the past come calling and yank the possibilities out from under them?
Slade was everything that I thought he was going to be. I was excited to read his story and was completely satisfied. I have been reading the Dirty Angels MC from the very beginning and was always curious about Slade. The way that he was introduced to me as a reader and then become a part of the club always had my mind going. Was he as great as he seemed? Did he have something he was hiding? All my questions were answered and more in this story. I still don’t know how I feel about the ending, but I know that I have more respect and heart for Slade then I did before. He stole this story for me and I could not put it down because I needed to know everything about him and his past.
On the on the other hand (and I am being completely honest here), I never liked Diamond. She was so harsh and angry and I could never connect with her. In this story (her story) I still did not care for her until the very end. She just didn’t work for me and as I read the story I was a bit disappointed in Slade for picking her. Once the answers to my questions and concerns started to reveal themselves I started to respect her more and in the end I did like her. She is still not my favorite, but I think that she is perfect for Slade and if he loves her then I can accept her, LOL.
With all of that being said, it is a wonderful story and while it is complete, it leaves A LOT of questions that still needed to be answered, just for a different MC brother. I know I am going to have to wait for his story, and I will re-read this one before that one when it is released. I highly recommend this story to those readers who are following these men and their MC. I loved every word. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
This series keeps getting better and better. Although the rivalry between the Warriors and the DAMC is still ongoing, the readers get more info on what might have started the war. Unfortunately the information may just be the one thing that could tear Slade and Diamond apart. Slade is not sure where his position in the MC is and Diamond just wants to belong to someone, but can the two overcome the obstacles the past has put in place? Or will true love conquer all? With an emotional storyline and characters that the reader cannot help but fall in love with this book is amazing. I could not put it down and I cannot wait to read more in the series.
