Three billionaire brothers: Cesare, Enzo, and Dante Sabatini have everything except the one thing money can’t buy. Three big beautiful women Alicia, Bethany, and Chloe will teach them the ABCs of love. Follow these couples as they negotiate the riskiest deal of all, falling in love.
It’s hard to believe when I get the call: an offer to work for one of the Sabatini brothers. Cesare and Dante head … call: an offer to work for one of the Sabatini brothers. Cesare and Dante head a real estate firm that buys, sells, and owns some of the most spectacular real estate in Chicago. Dante Sabatini is the youngest of the brothers, and even though he’s an arrogant manwhore he doesn’t come close to the a$$hole level of the oldest Sabatini, Cesare. While I work for Dante, Cesare is in the office across the hall—and too close for comfort.. Even if I weren’t a virgin, I’m very aware getting involved with Cesare Sabatini would be a complete disaster.
Until the moment I find out Cesare is having the same problem. The insanely gorgeous billionaire wants me? I’m a plus-size woman who has become numb to insults I have heard about my weight. I’m far from numb at the idea of throwing caution to the wind and giving in to the dirty demands Cesare whispered in my ear.
Then I do something I never thought I would do. I steal twenty-five thousand dollars. I’m borrowing it, I’ll put it right back.
When Cesare finds out, he demands twenty-five days and nights of my body in return for the money. Only all too quickly twenty-five days isn’t enough—I want forever. But what does Cesare want?
This is the first in a standalone series. No cliffhanger ending.

Good story with a great overall moral about being comfortable with yourself
I generally am not too overly fond of books where the heroine is a BBW. Though I have been fat and have been thin in my life, I have always felt sexy when I was thin and uncomfortable when fat so I just happen to like reading about smaller women or when weight isn’t mentioned. I have seen some of the previous reviews of this book and they mentioned not liking how much it mentioned that the heroine was fat, and at first I felt the same. However the author dealt with that in a nice way, when Alicia’s friend got on her about talking negatively about herself that way. She realized if she didn’t want other people referring to her like that, then she needed to stop thinking of herself that way.
When Alicia begins to find out how much her boss Dante’s wickedly hot billionaire brother Cesare truly wants her, she starts to see herself differently than she has in the past. Cesare and Alicia go through a sort of battle of wills since they want each other but she is an employee of the firm and technically off limits. She loses a bit of weight during that time, not enough to make her thin, but she is more comfortable with herself as a person. I liked the story and the attraction between the two main characters and the way the romance grew was totally hot.
There were some spelling and grammatical errors like a few missing words here and there so the book definitely could use better editing. Though overall it was a good read and a good storyline. I could see that Alicia’s sister Bethany was being set up for Dante since they said he was too old for her, then it kept being mentioned that she hadn’t met him yet since he didn’t come home for Christmas or a few other events when he was dating that gold digger from Texas. So I want to read that book also.
I truly enjoyed this book.
The battle of the sexes was against them from day one. Drawn to each other but too afraid to let go of the past. In which their parents damaged them both into thinking giving into love isn’t the way to go. I loved Cesare’s alpha-ness, its a push and pull love affair. together they make it work. great read.
Alicia has had a tough upbringing and works hard to support herself and her sister. She takes a job to work for the Sabatini brothers in their real estate office. Cesare is the oldest and the one Alicia is most attracted to of all the brothers. Alicia makes a decision to steal twenty-five thousand dollars from them to save her sister’s future and cover her mistake. Cesare demands twenty-five nights and days of Alicia’s body to compensate for the theft. These two were smoking hot together. Will the two have more than sex in common and continue a relationship? I enjoyed reading about a plus sized heroine.
Sexy hot billionaires!! Loved it!
When Alicia was offered a job to work for one of the Sabatini brothers she knew she had to take it. Meeting the sexy Cesare in the elevator was not what she expected.
Cesare is drawn to her and all her curves. He’s not a long term guy but will she make him change his mind?
Out of desperation Alicia makes a decision that changes everything on her life. Will this sexy billionaire overlook her decision?
This is a wonderfully written story that will keep you wanting more. You will not be disappointed.
Cesare Sabatini is HOT!
Just getting that out of the way first.
When BBW Alicia takes a new job working for Cesare’s brother Dante, she’s thrilled about the big salary increase and the opportunity to better provide for herself and her younger sister. But meeting Cesare in the elevator changes everything.
He’s drawn to her, too, but he knows Alicia is way more than a short-term fling, and that terrifies him.
Desperation makes Alicia do something she’d never normally dream of doing, and that sets the course for the rest of her life.
Love a billionaire romance with plenty of heat and a dash of heart? HIS DIRTY DEMANDS is the book for you.
5 STARS!!
This author is a new to me author. But having read the blurb I knew I had to read it. I normally don’t go for billionaire romances but my interest was peaked and wow did this book blow my book loving brain.
It’s a wonderful story about two very ‘different on the surface people’ who actually have more similarities than they expect. Both are caring, nurturing and supportive people who have made sacrifices to ensure the future and safety of their younger siblings. Forgoing and hiding their own wants and wishes on the premise of ‘looking after their siblings’ however… as the book is revealed it’s clear that both have a number of insecurities that without the love and encouragement of the other they would never have the courage to even attempt to get over… never mind conquer.
Their differences made their story a fantastic read, their similarities and chemistry made for an explosive steamy read that did not hold back or pull any punches. If your a fan of jealous and/or possessive heroes then this book is a MUST read for you!!
This book has a fantastic ‘old school’ romance flavour that ticked and double ticked all my romance favourites.
A gruff and possessive ( in a good way ) alpha Male. A shy yet strong leading lady who kicked ass when she needed to be strong….resulting in a wonderful build up and an explosive collision of chemistry between the two! That is literally on fire
There are two younger brothers in this series and I for one sincerely hope that they will each get their own books because I would defiantly read those!! And more from this author
I LOVED this book!!! I’ve already reread it a few times. I even purchased the set so I could read about all the brothers!
I highly recommend this book!
Good but the pacing needs work
While I enjoyed this book and both the primary and secondary characters, I really felt the story could have been told in about half the time. There was a lot of “story” that didn’t seem to have a point or move the plot forward. Not that it was bad, or uninteresting… just not really important to the plot. While I loved Cesare’s brother Dante at the start of the book, around 80% he kind of became a a jerk and not someone I wanted to read a story about in book 2. There was no climax really, and only a small misunderstanding at around 90% to help wrap the book up, but it was so expected it wasn’t even a little interesting. For all the drawn out story, the ending seemed a bit rushed and more of a way to set up book 2 than it was to give our couple the HEA they were after.
Great book!!
Couldn’t put it down, great read thanks
I loved Cesare and Alicia’s story. He fought so hard his feelings for her but once he fell, he fell hard. It was a sweet romance. I loved how Alicia was the sweetest but she was also strong enough to endure to ensure her happy ending. After reading this one, I had the read the rest of the brothers stories. I have to say – Loved Dante/Bethany story but I HATED Chloe with Enzo. I did NOT like her and had a hard time finishing that book.
Fiona made me wait! I don’t know how Alicia ficticiously lived through the wanting. Good thing Fiona paid up with 2/3rds of the rest of the book being hot, loving sexual gratification that leaped off the page!
Just one negative criticism: editing. I read the book in Bookfunnel, so I don’t know if that was different. In my copy, words were left out of the text or transposed, causing difficult comprehension. It did not detract from the effectiveness of the story.
Steamy romance between Alicia and Cesare, both afraid of commitment but facing an attraction too strong to deny. Cesare’s past has made him both a wealthy man and a cynical man. Alicia is a plus size beautiful girl with self esteem issues and also a troubled past. When her sister makes a bad choice, Alicia compounds the problem which puts her directly under the ire of Cesare. Can they get past their troubles and admit their love? Interesting plot and a quick read.
Deliciously passionate, explosive chemistry begins the saga of these two fighting their attraction because of bad history…can they figure it out or lose it all..
This story was a lot sweeter than I expected.
His Dirty Demands by Fiona Murphy is the story of Cesare Sabatini and Alicia Jeffries.
Alicia is on her own taking care of her younger sister. Alicia doesn’t have a good self opinion about her looks I thought due to some weight issues. But for me she was a strong beautiful heroine who was trying to do the best she could. When a job comes up to work for Dante Sabatini she takes it. Then she meets Cesare who is the older brother. Cesare has taken to helping and raising his brother’s since their parents aren’t in the picture anymore. Cesare has no want or room for a relationship even now that he is a successful businessman. But when he spots Alicia he is immediately aware of her and she to him. But they try to ignore their feelings until they no longer can do so. Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from this author.
4.5 stars
I really enjoyed this story and the lead up of gives for the other 2 brothers! I loved their relationships as a central part of the story.
I think what really stood out to me was that despite the darker ‘feel’ that the title and maybe even the cover may give this book, the story itself was actually quite sweet and not dark at all. Cesare was a great character with relatable fears and issues. As the story evolves it becomes much more than a boss/employee relationship between him and Alicia.
Recommend for a great read and looking forward to the next 2 books.
Le sigh. I have mixed feelings about this book. I was honestly tempted to DNF it – something about the writing style didn’t vibe with me. Both Cesare and Alicia have compelling backstories that made them a compatible couple and the chemistry between them was palpable. But they were also very hot and cold with each other in the beginning and the transition from pseudo-enemies to lovers happened very quickly and while there was definitely some instalust involved, Cesare went from being VERY anti-relationship and commitment to diving head first in with Alicia with little explanation as to what caused his attitude adjustment. Don’t get me wrong, I finished the book and it wasn’t bad. There was just something about it that didn’t click for me personally. 2.5 out of 5 wine glasses.
