This was my first book by Julie Kriss, but it will not be my last. The story was light, fun and sexy!
Aiden, the man in black that exudes mystery, and sex appeal. He’s a no-bullshit kinda guy with a hardcore business attitude! He started from the bottom and now he’s here!
Samantha is great at what she does! She excels in that aspect of her life, but she deals with the trauma of her past. We’ve all got a burden to bear.
These two decide they want to have some fun . . . until that fun delves into an emotional, topsy turvy journey. Pretending to be who they aren’t and trying to discover who they are, makes this an amazing read. It’s not a typical office romance and I love that. I love when authors step outside the box, give us the abnormal and lock us in. That is what Julie Kriss did.
I can’t wait to read more from this amazing author. I know she will become one of my faves!
TOTAL 5 STARS FOR A TOTALLY WORTHY STORY!
This might be my favorite book by Julie Kriss. Even though her books usually all have a good level of steam and heat in them, this one was a bit more and I enjoyed that aspect of the story a lot.
Samantha works for Aidan and even though she is not one to be messed with she can’t deny her attraction to cold Aidan. Even though they both feel the pull the risk is to much for them to really do anything about it that is until they start there game of cat and mouse and the stakes get raised even higher. Looking forward to more!!
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
This book blew me away! I can’t wait to see where this series goes!
Filthy Rich by Julie Kriss is the first book in her new series also named Filthy Rich. This is my first book by this author and I think I have fallen in love! This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Intriguing, sexy, hot boss, competent and capable executive assistant. Both of them just as unwilling to bend the rules but with an attraction they cannot fight! EVERYTHING I LOVE in an office/boss romance!
Samantha is capable and competent and truly not to be trifled with. Her interactions with and observations of Aidan were intelligent making what can always be a sleazy take on office romance become an incredible tale! Aidan is intriguing and private and fiercely protective of Samantha before he even realizes why. It’s a perfect combination. Add in the brooding partners in their company and I’m eagerly anticipating the next book in this series. Enjoy!
Filthy Rich is a very sexy sensual read. I enjoyed every moment of Aidan and Samantha’s build up, as well as the explosion that just couldn’t be contained.
Samantha is very cool and collected. She has an amazing head on her shoulders and she’s throughly professional. She keeps her attraction to her new boss locked up tight. Aidan seems cold and aloof, but he’s really not. He’s cold in business, absolutely, but personally he is a seductive man who cares. These two start a slow and sensual game that could lead to happiness or heartbreak.
Floved Filthy Rich. The entire story had me reading quickly so I could know what happened next. Aidan and Samantha are two people I want to know in real life. Not only did they discover love, they discovered a bit more of themselves as well.
Julie Kriss has taken the age old office romance taboo story and turned it on it’s head
Typically in an office romance the couple first try to fight their feelings and then try to hide their romance. Not Samantha and Aiden, no because they know that it would be too much risk, a jeopardy they are not willing to take. So the game is born. A game where two ‘stranger’ hook up for a few hours of hot passion, no strings, no ties. Well written and entertaining, this is a wonderful love story that feels fresh and exciting.
The book is surprisingly slow burn, taking quite a while to reach the ‘game’. I think in part this was due to world building for the series as a whole, as well as just allowing us to get to know these two as people. One of the thing I most enjoy about this author’s work is how real her characters feel. They aren’t prepared to throw a good working relationship into the wind because of their attraction.
Even though Aiden is now richer than Croesus he came from a poor and unloving home. He is a wonderful mix of intensely private and open book. A pretty simple man who struggles to trust and doesn’t know how to let go. Life has left Samantha with a ‘piece of her jigsaw puzzle’ missing, her quest for security and safety means romance and love are too dangerous. Two believable, likeable and humanly flawed main characters who you can’t help but adore.
There are so many ‘gimmicky’ genre’s out there at the moment, so many trends and fashions. Filthy Rich doesn’t need any of them because it’s a great story, with good writing and engaging characters.
Filthy Rich is book one in the brand new series, Filthy Rich, by Julie Kriss. This is my very first book by Julie. I’ve been seeing her books everywhere and I thought this new series would be a great place to jump in.
Aidan Winters, the man in black as he was known around New York, is a somewhat mysterious, very rich bachelor that is CEO of Tower Venture Capital’s New York Office. Aidan is mysterious because he always is seen in public wearing black, and he is always alone. No one really knows what he does in his private time. But in the business world, he is both feared and respected.
Samantha Riley is perhaps the best executive assistant in New York. She does everything to perfection. She’s had some unpleasant bosses in the past but she loves working for Aidan. She’s been with him for three months and it’s the best job she’s had. He’s also the best looking boss she’s ever had. She’s attracted to him. He makes her jittery in a way no one ever has. But she can keep her fantasies for the times she’s alone at home, right? At work, she can be all business.
Aidan loves having Samantha as his assistant. She’s probably the best one he’s ever had. But he can’t get her off his mind. He can’t jeopardize their working relationship by letting her know that he’s been thinking of her in some very inappropriate ways.
Samantha and Aidan’s attraction grows until they have to either walk away from each other, or find a way to deal with it. They do find a way to cross the line, a game, a way to divide their work selves from their private selves. Only after awhile, that line too becomes blurred. Until games aren’t enough.
This was a super sexy story that I really enjoyed. Samantha and Aidan’s chemistry was HOT! The reason for the four star rating is that I just feel like I missed the emotional connection a little bit. Their times together were focused on their game, on their chemistry. I never really felt the emotional connection as much as I wanted to. Or it could just be me. It probably is! None the less, it was a sexy, fun book that I completely enjoyed and look forward to more by this author. The future books in the series will feature Aidan’s three partners in their company. The next book will be Dane’s story.
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
What happens when the lines between employee and employer are blurred? Will you’ll take the bite because you want to taste the sweetness?
Aiden is the face of the company he and four friends started that made them billionaires. Samantha is his corporate assistant who’s the best at what she does. There’s never come a time Samantha has wanted to cross the line between right and wrong when it comes to her bosses – until now.
Aiden doesn’t know exactly what to do with his reaction towards his assistant. He just knows he has to have her and that’s that. What a hard decision right?
I enjoyed reading this story. I’m a sucker for Billionaire Romances. This one was a quick read for me. I would definitely add it to your list.
5 Stars
This is not your typical Billionaire/assistant love story. Aidan is anything but your stereotypical CEO, he and his “brothers” worked hard and have a true rag to riches story. Samantha is one of the best Administrative Assistants in NY, she is good at what she does and is always professional about it. Aidan and Samantha respect one another and genuinely like each other, but once the acknowledgement of attraction happens, everything changes. What follows is an extremely intense, sexy and intimate game. When feelings start and can’t be ignored Samantha and Aidan must decide how well they really know one another, and can they be what they want to be without ruining what is a fantastic relationship professionally. You will love every minute spent reading this book! I cannot wait for Dane’s story next!

Samantha Riley is one of the top executive assistants in the city. She knows everything there is to know about her boss, except what type of woman would bring him to his knees. While she may fantasize that it was her she’s too much of a professional to ever cross that line.

No strings attached, new adventures with each “chance” meeting . . . but what happens when pretending to be strangers is no longer enough?
Filthy Rich was one of the spiciest office romances I have ever read! So. Freaking. Hot.
The real beauty of this story is the fantasy world created because Aiden and Samantha are true professionals who really are not willing to upset a fantastic working relationship no matter how attracted they are to one another. The game . . . seriously . . .OMG! Sexy, flirty, erotic and just plain fun. It let’s both Aiden and Samantha explores aspects of themselves and their desires in a safe environment, really giving readers a glimpse at some very hot fantasies!
When Aiden realizes he is in this relationship for more than the game, he changes the rules on Samantha. He has his eye on the prize and wants forever. When Samantha is spooked he’ll have his work cut out for him to prove they can be both lovers and professionals giving them both what they want.
The ending of Filthy Rich was superb! Loved the fantastic little twist tossed in by Julie Kriss! This book was everything that an office romance should be and I can’t wait for more books in this series. 5 stars!
Sexual fantasies can come true when you least expect them!
Allow me to say that I LOVED Julie’s writing. This was my first book from her and it wont be the last, because she got me completely enthralled with her words and this story!
Filthy Rich it’s exactly that! Filthy and rich with a combination of class and hotness = AIDAN!
Samantha never thought that her sexy boss could be the answer she was waiting for. They both find in a very exquisite way, that the game they started playing is the key to happiness.
I am very curious to read about the other men in the series. Each one of them have something intriguing that makes me want to get to know them all right now!
Samantha executive assistant to Aidan, but not ordinary romance, they pretend to be strangers and changing making sparks fly higher. It was intense, role-playing and the steamy of it all was off the charts. I am looking forward for more in the next book.
Woah, mama!
This book is more than your average; let’s get it on with the boss scenario!
My fellow readers let me tell you. Adian and Samantha are an intense, no holds barred role-playing, feel the heat and then some corporate pair ready to take on the world. Or maybe just each other.
Watching their relationship grow from professional to something much more sensual – I swear I felt the sparks coming off the pages of my Kindle!
Emotions aplenty, weaved into a smooth sailing, humorous storyline with a cast of characters I cannot wait to know more about. The first book in what looks to be a stellar series has my attention!
I was so excited to read this book. I loved the concept. Not even the idea of sleeping with your boss but meeting up outside of work and role playing. Pretending that when you meet that your strangers and changing it up every time. To be someone else, sounds exciting! I did think it was a little rushed in the end. I wish there was a little more of their secret relationship. I was also a little thrown off when Samantha reacted to that picture of Aiden. Her reaction seemed a little over the top. Overall, I really did enjoy it and am excited to read book 2.
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
