WRITING DIRTY is an interconnected stand-alone of the BTU Alumni squad with scenes steamy enough to inspire this romance writing Covenette. This laugh out loud rom-com features a cast of characters who don’t know how to stay in their lane, a heroine who refuses to be a damsel, and a hero determined to prove he can deliver one hell of a happily ever after.
Alley Ciz never fails to amaze me with her BTU series. Every book is topped by the next and she totally outdoes herself! Maddy’s love story will have you laughing, swooning, fanning yourself and on the edge of your seat. The returning cast is always one of my favorite things about each book. The banter is a staple for their series and isn’t lacking in Maddy’s story. Maddy couldn’t have written herself a better love story than her own. This is a must read and I guarantee you’ll love her hero! This is a must read!!!
THIS THIS THIS
Was EVERYTHING!
Don’t get me wrong all the BTU books are amazing but this one takes the cake it is more and beyond.
Everything about the hero screams alpha( and no I am not spilling the beans on WHO he is)
He is charming, sweet, hot AF and so damn delcious I am pretty sure I had a perminant blush on my cheeks.
This story had me laughing and giggling at the gangs antics and of course the covens lack of staying on topic.
The gang made for another laugh out loud read and had me holding back cackles of laughter.
The constant disney references had my heart giddy and my disney loving heart exploding.
The chemistry between Maddey and her hero was off the charts HAWT. I mean I needed new panties it was that hot.
The way he was posssive yet gentle, cocky yet sweet and all round had hearts in your eyes with the way that mouth let out the most sexiest of things that had me fan myself a few times.
Alley brings the heat in this quirky but sexy romance where a girl talks to her dog likes its a human, the characters in her head make you giggle and the man she loves is so damn sexy it should be illegal.
The twist has you gasping because every good romance has a great twist and of course a brooding hero who makes you fall in love.
Just like Disney this has a fairytale ending worthy of an oscar.
My heart exploded reading this magical fairytale of a princess and her prince charming.
I can’t wait for another BTU master piece.
Like many BTU fans, I’ve been waiting for awhile for this particular storyline – and now that it’s here, I know that it was absolutely worth the wait.
The swoon factor, the alpha males, the puns – all of it had me running through a whole range of emotions while I was reading. There’s so much going on in this book that it held my attention from beginning to end, becoming one of the few books this year that I’ve read in one sitting.
I. Love. Maddey. She is fierce, she is mighty, she is hilarious, and getting a glimpse into her world was so fun. I love everyone in the Coven, but she may be my favorite now. While she’s facing a very real danger with a persistent stalker, she handles her own quite well and doesn’t shy away easily in the face of danger. Coming from the background that she comes from, and having all of these hockey/military/police/MMA/music/coffee shop men ready to come to her rescue, it would be easy for her to play the damsel in distress and rely on them for everything – but she doesn’t, and I love her for it. She plays by her rules, always.
But then someone comes back in her life that she can’t let go, and he adds a whole new dynamic to her world that she wasn’t ready for – but once she finally realizes that she deserves an HEA like her characters, it changes everything. Then you can start your swooning, because man. This book definitely has all of that, and more.
I won’t spoil it, but download this book and read it. It was so good to be back in the Coven’s world again, and this book was everything I wanted. And more.
Holy Moly. How do you write a review for this book without spoilers? If you have been following the BTU Alumni books then you have been greatly anticipating this book.
Maddey has a stalker. She thinks it’s not a big deal. Those around her beg to differ. But she counters all their suggestions that she needs protection. Needs to have this looked into. Investigated. One by one they all fall to her charms. All but one.
There is one that she can’t charm. Can’t tell no. Can he protect her and find who is doing this? Of course. Can he do it without falling in love with her? That might be harder than keeping her safe.
And if you have ever wanted to know what goes on in the head of a romance writer, you are going to want to jump on this ride. It’s a wild one.
4.5 stars
God! There is so much I want to say about this book but I made a promise. A promise that I will keep all the secrets, so you can all enjoy this story like I did. I am so happy, shocked but delighted by the outcome of this story. I never saw it coming at all.
I have so many emotions whilst reading this book. I was completely dragged through the ringer and I loved every second of it. Maddie totally gets the story she deserves and God do I want to live in her head. It’s a crazy place and I know I would totally be at home there.
This book lives up to its place in this series and every one of the cast of characters. All offers so much to each and every book. They keep the fun and happy in this emotionally charged, yet scary and somewhat suspenseful story.
This book is a huge recommendation from me. I wish I could scream all the secrets but I won’t. Spoilers are never fun. Go enjoy this book, series, and characters. They are a joy to read.
Reviewer: Donna
This story is so much better than I imagined. It was so hard to put down and I couldn’t wait to finish it. We get so much unexpected information and blanks filled in. And who doesn’t love a tough Tinkerbell? #girlpower The best sentence that sums this book up is, “Some day my Prince will come”…
I think this is my favorite book in the series!! I seriously love Maddey/Madz/Tink. I’ve always wondered about the conversations between characters in a writers head and you get a glimpse of that in this book….the characters in Maddey’s head crack me up! Her hero, who shall not be named, is my new book boyfriend…..holy smokes he is every girls dream!! Seriously a fantastic book!
5 STARS
I’m giving you ALL the stars and then some for this book Alley! I love Madz! She is the Queen of Smut…a total Trope Slut and I LOVE IT!!!
There are no words to describe how A-*beepin*-MAZING this book is…***obviously because Maddey and you have already written and thought of a plethora of them while writing this one*** Trust me on this and make sure to read this book, drop your anchorbecause it’ll have you HOOKED!
I was so excited to read Maddey’s book because she has been one of my favorite Coven members for a while now and to get her story was awesome. Massey is a romance writer who believes its impossible to get her crap together and find love for her self, but now she has a stalker. All the boys from their group the fighters, rockstars, overbearing brothers, and hockey guys over to help her but she is in denial. I don’t want to give too much away because the plot twists are fun the main Hero is alpha delicious and he gets Maddey for who she is and all her eccentric ways. Maddey is hilarious especially when she goes into her head and has conversations with her book characters. At times I could find myself getting a tad annoyed at how she played things off and would get so wrapped up into herself that she would forget she’s actually having conversations with real people but, that made her who she is and her Disney references were funny. I loved the Hero as he was loyal, fierce, and willing to anything to keep Maddey safe. This will be a fun reread for me to always fall back on and I can’t wait for more from all the characters because their group dynamic is perfection and makes me want to be a part of it.
This book was highly anticipated and it was definitely worth the wait. Maddey is the queen of writting happily ever afters and now it’s her turn. Maddey is a princess but she refuses to play the damsel in distress in her own life. The number of Disney references in this book are off the charts and the gifs are amazing. The members of the Coven are back in full force with there off the topic conversations that will have you laughing out loud as you read this book. The hero in this book is something that I can’t share with you! This man is perfect for Maddey and the attraction/chemistry between these two if hot the charts hot and intense. This book is loaded with a bomb or two that will leave you shocked and guessing as to what will come next.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.
When you wish upon a star…you get a book as hot, steamy, and suspenseful as this latest visit with the BTU Alumni and their extended family and friends.
Maddey, lover of all things Disney and writer of “lady porn”, has her perfect life interrupted when the innocent fan mail she receives escalates into full-on stalker mode. The group bands together to not only protect Madz but try to figure out who is threatening one of their own.
It doesn’t much better than a book that includes hot Navy SEALS, equally hot Hockey players, MMA fighters, and references to both Disney movies and Die Hard movies. The texts between The Covenettes (the female bffs), The Lost Boys (the male bffs), and The Due Hard Trilogy (Maddey’s SEAL team brothers and their best friend) are fun and completely relatable. The GIfs and emojis kept me laughing.
The tension and suspense is real. The love felt by this ever-growing group of friends and family is palpable. And the sex…sweet baby Jesus…is off the charts hot!!!
Should you read this book? YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
OMG… I cannot begin to describe how amazing this book was.
Nor how long I have been waiting for Maddey’s HEA.
This is the 5th book in the BTU Alumni series and they just keep getting better.
Alley has once again thrown us a curveball and had us at the edge of our seats.
With every Disney reference it made my heart swell.
Maddey, although a princess, will never be a damsel in distress.
Once again the coven and associates are back in full force.
The text chains are to live for… like reconnecting with old friends.
The highlight for me though as the internal monologues inside of Maddey’s head… and the ever present Jiminy cricket… pointing out the blatantly obvious.
The hero (because no spoilers here)… is as you would expect. Swoony and rock hard. Melting panties with just his mouth and setting fire to your kindle as you read that scene in the spa followup in the shower… anyone wanna get wet
This one has it all… and then throw on our stalker to spice things up.
Will Maddey get her HEA… her calm in the storm
Or will the stalker prove to be too cunning for them all.
I was given an ARC… but voluntarily chose to review
OMG! I’m so happy Writing Dirty is finally here! Maddie is a romance writer and uses her crew for cover photos for all her books. She also uses them for inspiration in her writing. The mystery behind who the H is has been driving me crazy! Let me tell you, he is sexy as sin! And we have a stalker! Yes! Madz has a psycho stalker! He is just as much of a mystery as who Madz hump Buddy is! For all of you BTU crew junkies out there you will not be disappointed! Anyone who hasn’t started the BTU series read Power Play first and work your way through. If not you’ll be confused on who all the couples are in this large, amazing, hilarious, fun, sexy crew. This book was everything I hoped it would be! And don’t get me started on the many many Disney references that were hilarious. What romance lover doesn’t love Disney? That’s where our little girl hearts first fall in love with Happily Ever Afters! I highly recommend all of Alley’s books! They are fun and silly, hilarious and sexy and all the men and women are just all around a great group of people. Alley really outdid herself with this crew right here. Keep them coming sister!
Writing Dirty is utterly spellbinding, I have no recollection of what happened in real life today but I can tell you that this Maddey and Dex’s story is a top read of 2021 and a new all time favorite.
I’ve been looking forward to reading Maddey’s story, especially since I started this series with Scoring Beauty and then went back to where it all began, reading my way through this addictive series.
Maddey was the Queen of Smut and the creator of happily ever afters, except when it came to her own, she had a swoony hero and yet she walked away.
Isn’t that insane? Well, all the answers are supplied within this story because the pulsating chemistry between her and Dex is as strong as a high voltage taser when they are in the same room.
There was no doubt in my mind that these two were made for one another.
I can’t get enough of this world that Ciz has created. She has a way of making each character have such an enliving personality that each and every one feels undeniably real.
Maddey and Dex’s story had an added element of suspense that amplified the level of all-consuming, bringing the level of all-consuming up a few notches. I wasn’t simply a “book worm” I was a “book dragon”, as I couldn’t devour the words fast enough.
Writing Dirty has an array of tropes each one done in epic fashion, and with an author as a heroine Maddey is basically a bookworm’s dream heroine.
Maddey and Dex have a soul-searing chemistry, and their banter is equally fiery. Maddey was strong-willed and incredibly witty. She’d been adamant that she could take care of herself, and she’d proven it time and again, but when Dex shows up, she knows she’s up against a brick wall, and not in a good way.
Dex was alpha through and through, protective and possessive, but er-mah-gawd the level of swoon was off the book boyfriend charts. He was basically all my favorite book boyfriend qualities wrapped up in a growly alpha dirty talking bow.
If you haven’t read this AMAZINGLY ADDICTIVE series, you should stop what you’re doing and dive in.
The dialogue between characters is fantastic, with laugh out loud and extra witty moments, as well as sarcasm and puns, all of which add so much to the series. The dynamics of this group are as engrossing as the romance. They’ve become one of my favorites because of how much they love and support one another.

Good story about Dex and Maddie finally finding one another but they are drawn together by a stalker. It turns out they know him
I absolutely loved this story! Brother’s best friend is one of my all time favorite tropes and dang was this one completely different story than anything I have ever read! The tension between these two was down right drool worthy. Hook offering to be Tinks shelter in the storm was the cherry on top of this writing dirty cake. This series is amazing but this is hands down my favorite of the series.
Another one of the OG Covenetts gets her story told. The resident romance writer of the group Maddy finally has her chance at happily ever after, after writing so many in her books. Maddy’s childhood crush & best friend to her older brothers is called in to help discover who her stalker is. Dex & Maddy pushed into an extended close proximity has sparks flying between these long time friends.
I love this story & it is just as good as all the other BTU Alumni books. Maddy is a Disney obsessed individual & all the references in this book are seriously amazing! The chemistry between these two characters is something for the story books.
The audiobook for this is so good, the voice actors do a wonderful job of brining these characters to life! You definitely need to read this book!
5 stars for Writing by Alley Ciz. This is book five in the BTU Alumni series. What a group these characters are. I could not put this book down. Maddy aka Tink is fantastic and I love her so much. Dax , yummy Dax. Maddy has a stalker who better to come protect her than her Hook / Dax. They have known each other and had a secret crush on each other forever. I loved how Maddy seemed like a Disney princess on the outside but was extremely dangerous on the outside especially with a taser (just wait it’s hilarious) . The Coven is fabulous and has me laughing at every corner. This book is filled with suspense, steam, and so much more. I can’t believe I have to wait for the next one.
Alley Ciz has had us on the edge of our seat ever since the end of Sweet Victory as to who snagged our resident author’s heart. Well the wait is over… well once you read it, of course. You won’t find me spilling the beans in this review. #sorrynotsorry
Writing Dirty, while it brings all of our favorite characters back together, is different than any of the other BTU stories. Writing Dirty is as steamy as the books Maddey writes as Belle Willis and the hero is hot AF. Be prepared to laugh at the witty banter and hold your breath at moments that have you going *holy crap*. Be prepared for Maddey’s man to sweep you off your feet because he will.
Maddey is my favorite female BTU character, and this book proved that point. Not to mention, Maddey has great taste in audiobooks 😉
I’m still on an emotional adrenaline rush after finishing my ARC of Writing Dirty. Alley Ciz has outdone herself with this fantastic next installment of the BTU world.
I’ve adored Tink/Maddey from the first book. Finding out she broke up with Ryan a few books back was an emotional hit because they seemed so perfect together. I’m glad I trusted Alley to write the Queen of Smut an epic HEA. Our hero who shall go unnamed, is panty melting hot and such an amazing guy. He fits in with this wild and growing group of friends. He gets Maddey, supports her, pushes her buttons, loves her like she needs to be loved and speaks Disney like a Disney hero!
This
Do not hesitate to jump right into this new BTU story and experience the emotional journey of Maddey and her man discovering their HEA, the angst of a stalker harassing and scary Maddey and epic conversations/interactions with all our favorite Covennettes and the guys they love and everyone they claim as friends.
5 sizzling stars!
