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.
The whole world has been waiting for this book. And thought that got it right. Who’s the hero? That’s the main dilemma. Now is time to find out. And see if your gut was right or not, but in both of the cases, the story will reward you. It’s incredible how Alley can mix the suspense with the humor. And make it enjoyable. At some point of the story you will want to yell at Alley. I did it too. But keep going, I promise the story has a hot surprise for you. And you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.
But there’s a star in this book. Not Maddie , not her man, but her fur! He is her real hero!
Overall, is hard to give you more details without spoiling, but the story is how the cover is( and the title), so for this time feel free to judge the book by its cover. It will get you in the right direction.
Enjoy it!
*Honored to beta read in exchange for an honest review*
Every time Alley Ciz publishes a new BTU book, I say it’s my favorite. Well, they just keep getting better and better because Writing Dirty has now taken the top spot in my opinion. I LOVED this book. I’m so happy Maddey finally got her HEA. I think she’s my favorite BTU heroine. She’s strong but hilarious (especially in her head). I won’t give away the surprise hero, but I will say he’s HAWT and a perfect match for her. This story has just the right amount of suspense and angst to balance out the funny and sexy. Highly recommended!
*I am grateful to have received an advanced copy of this book.
Maddey and her beau give me life! I think this might be my favorite book in the entire series. The location may have changed to the Jersey Shore, but we still have all our old favorites, Coven conversations abound, trash talk between friends is never ending, and Mario Kart competitions erupt on more than one occasion. We FINALLY get an inside peek into Madison Belle McClain and I loved it, her inner monologue is riddled with characters almost as crazy as her Covenettes! This story is told from her POV as well as the POV of her love interest (I’m not saying who since this is an even bigger mystery than who her stalker is!!). I don’t know how Ciz writes these books, she has a huge cast of characters and the Disney references are plentiful and incredibly clever. A lot of thought goes into this series in terms of characters and plot and I really appreciate that. It isn’t every day that you have pages upon pages of family trees, text handles and more explained to you before you even get to Chapter One! I definitely recommend reading this book!
Oh my lanta! Alley has gone and done it again!! Flipping sladddeeee it with this one. By far the best of the best of the series…..I know I say that for everyone one of hers that comes out, but this one definitely takes the cake!!
This is gonna be a short review as I am not spoiling ANYTHING, not even who the hero is.
But this bad boy was full of sweet, loving, funny, suspense and all around just amazingness, yeah made that word up that’s how good this book is. Just call me Maddey bahaha.
I couldn’t put this down and loved that bonus bonus epilogue, well really all the epilogues Alley added in. I am all for a good epilogue or 2 or 4 hehe.
5⃣
recommendation!!
I adore the voices in Madison’s head! I had so many laugh-out-moments despite the seriousness of Maddy’s situation. Every once in a while even a kick-ass girl could use a little help from her friends. Maddy is lucky to have an amazing (ly HOT) group of friends and family for support and a stunner for her own Prince Charming. If only her “Prince” can get her to see things his way he might be able to keep her safe. Lets not forget the smokin hot sexy times….this book is full of sexual tension, friends to lovers, brothers best friend, crazy friends, imaginary friends and did i mention hot friends? And some lovable, almost human dogs!
Wow!! I love it when i find a new-to-me author and i feel like i just struck GOLD!!
Alley’s books get better and better!!
Gah!! The hero in the book is the most amazing alpha hero EVER!!!! This book left me with a massive book hangover!! I love Maddey and all her crazy author quirks. Her love for all things Disney!! I love her and her man together and how her gets all her crazy and accepts her for who she is. The suspense and angst are high with this one!!! I am blown away and in complete awe of this book!!! Such a funny, heartwarming story. I can’t wait for more from the BTU crew!
I love the coven! I have been waiting on this book in what feels like forever and was so happy when I finally got it!
The heroine is a romance writer and I always love reading about those because I feel like who is better to write about it than an actual romance author! I loved the heroine. With all the voices in her head (as all authors have) and how she was one badass, stubborn woman.
The hero in this book was what really did it for me. He was so sweet but still total alpha male and he understood the heroine like no other. The mouth on that man! I can’t remember the last book I read with so much hot dirty talk He was so hot and brought a whole new hot factor to the series.
The book in total was good but I had a few moments where it was hard to keep up with all the coven conversations, the voices in the heroines head, and all the things that happened around them. I felt like maybe there happened a little too much at the same time and got a little crazy.
I loved the suspense part of this book! It wasn’t the biggest part. But the build-up was amazing! I never figured out who her stalker was at any point and I was kept in the dark! That is rare and a huge plus for me. Talk about me being shocked when it finally got revealed who her stalker was. I never saw it coming and that is really an amazing part of this book.
As always I am in love with the entire set up in this book. The family, the friends, the coven, and how all these awesome sportsmen, rockstars, authors, teachers and so many more people can mix and just be one big crazy family.
So are you looking for a series you can fangirl over and really commit to. A series that will suck you in and make you a part of the craziness then this is your series.
This book can be read as a standalone but I will recommend that you read the entire series so you don’t get confused with all the people
I looooooooove alley cisz’s books so much….. really I love them and this book is no other.
Maddey and Dex are my favorite couple so far i think, the heat, the doubt, the love and the excitement , just loved it!!!! Gives me the need to read them all again.
I love the voices inside Maddey’s head…. they stop the voices in my head and what about the disney references, they brought me back to my childhood, I recognized all of them. I love the BTU allumni and want a coven of my own whit the whatsapp to prove it.
Wonderfull job writing this dirty book….. 5 stars for this one and would’ve given more if possible.
Writing Dirty is the 5th book in the BTU Alumni Series and follows Maddey’s story. The resident romance author finally gets her Hero & HEA. This story is a fun rom com with some added feels, light & flirty moments as well as suspense & intrigue. It includes one of my FAV tropes/plotlines which is ‘Close Proximity’ as after Maddey’s situation with her Stalker starts getting out of hand in comes a ‘Hero’ to help save her but like the blurb says Maddey is no damsel in distress.
Maddey is a funny, witty, disney loving, strong, stubborn but incredible heroine who is determined to not let her Stalker affect the way she lives her life but slowly as things start to escalate we watch her realise how bad this situation can actually get and affect the people she loves the most.
My heart broke for her a few times but I also loved how her story played out. Getting in the mind of Maddey was an interesting one as she is an author she had quite the assortment of characters constantly speaking in her ear, which is something I’ve always heard authors talk about but I’ve never truly known what that would feel like and Alley did a great job letting us see how crazy their minds can get.
Maddey’s Hero was protective, selfless, sweet, kind and cared so deeply while still being the Alpha he is. I loved him for Maddey. They were the perfect match and I was hoping that he would be the one to star in her story from the moment I heard about him.
This story kept me guessing what would happen next and even though I did guess some of it along the way a lot surprised me and I loved how it all played out & I loved seeing all the previous characters as their appearances always make these books so special.
Though this is an interconnected standalone, to truly get the best experience I highly suggest reading all the books in this series in order
This book was so much fun to read. I loved all of the Disney references. There were also so many laugh out loud moments that I got many funny looks from my family.
Maddey is a sassy, and loving character. She is also a bada** because of all the training her brothers and father have given her. Maddey is a romance author, that tends to live in her head. These characters are a lively bunch!! She is also always using her friends and those around her as inspiration for her characters.
The Hero in this book was over the top HOT. He was very protective and would do anything in his power to make sure Maddey is safe. Sorry other than that I wont say anything because I will not give it away!
This book did have a couple of twists that had me gasping because I did not see them coming. The chemistry between Maddey and her Alpha is off the charts hot and the activities between them are hot, and sexy. There are also many times that there is angst in this book but it just makes it that much better.
I can’t wait for the next book that Alley Ciz writes.
Book 5 in the BTU Alumni series and I loved it. Great addition to the series. Loved that Maddey was able to get her story and it was one for the ages. This story will grab you from page one and won’t let you go. You will be sitting on the edge of your seats with all the twists and turns this story will take you on and let me say it was worth it. Slow burn romance but once the fire takes, it will be explosive. Loved it and will be re-reading this and the other books in this series very soon. Highly recommend.
I read an early review copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Calling all BTU Crew lovers! Maddey’s story is here, and it is perfection! Writing Dirty checks off all the boxes! Mystery, suspense, the best crew ever, with tension and chemistry for days. Once you pick up this book settle in, because you will NOT be able to put it down! Author Alley Ciz will have you laughing out loud, making all the theories, and swooning hard.
Can be read as a standalone, but why deprive yourself of the BTU experience! Join the best crew, with all the love and all the laughs, and binge all the BTU Alumni books today!
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
BTU is back for a 5th installment with Maddie taking on the leading role and man, she is one that is unmatched by far! This book is definitely my favorite out of the entire series, and that is saying a lot because I have a small obsession with every single book in this series so far.
I can’t give away anything because this is still a new release, but if you think you know who Maddie ends up with… you really have no idea! And it is worth the wait and so much more. These two are matched in ways that can’t even be put into words.
Alley puts together a world that keeps you coming back for more. I know I will be going back and reading them all over again because these books were just that good and I love the world that Alley created.
If you loved the other books in this series, I know you will definitely LOVE this one!
Five stars for this fun read that will keep you guessing until the very end, all while swooning and falling in love with Maddie and her hero.
OMG The Coven is BACK!!!!!! This series is always a good time. Maddie is being stalked and thinks the problem will just go away. The story is crazy, twisted and with so many swoon worthy moments. Not to mention when you throw in the coven group and the hilarity of their messages this story kept me on my toes and I couldn’t get enough of them. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Y’all, I can’t even with this. Alley just continues to top herself. This book was phenomenal. I keep falling deeper in fictional character love with all the crew. I’ll anxiously be waiting for her next book.
BTU #5…they keep getting better and better
This is the fifth book in the BTU series by Alley Ciz and they just keep getting better and better! The relationships between all the characters in the books just keep getting stronger and stronger. I want to be a member of the Coven!
This is Maddey’s story and it did not disappoint! Our resident Queen of Smut and writer of happily ever after’s is about to get her own. It seems Maddey has a stalker and that secret is coming out. Maddey has been trying to deal with this on her own, but of course, the OPB (Over Protective Big Brothers) can’t have that. Enter the hero of the story. I will not say much about him because you need to discover who it is for yourself But boy is it worth it! The steam between the two and the chemistry is off the charts! I thought my Kindle would burn up! Add in the conversations with her characters and the dog, all things Disney, and the Lost Boys and this story is one you don’t want to miss out on. It is a fast-paced read that has heat but is not overly angsty. It will have you laughing out loud and swooning at the same time. This story has enough mystery to keep you flipping the pages and enough feelings they leap off the page at you. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series
Hi BTU world!
Alley does it again delivering laughs with a quirky heroine and an alpha hero. Out of all her heroes I think he’s my favorite. he’s a bit different than her other heroes, I loved him.
As always there’s the text convos, and the meets with all the members, and the aching feeling of sadness when its all over.
Can’t wait to see who’s next!
Writing Dirty is the 5th book in the BTU Alumni series by Alley Ciz. Alley Ciz is a fantastic author and the BTU Alumni series is fantastic but this book to it to a whole new level. This book is 100% Literary Gold! I do recommend that you read the other books but it can also be read as a standalone though you won’t get as much out of the group chats.
This book is one I will read over and over again and never get tired of it.
What an amazing story. This book is exactly what I needed with everything going on in the world. I could not wait to get my hands on this book. And once I did, I could not put it down. I tried so hard to read it slowly, to take in every amazing word. However, I needed to find out what happened as the suspense was killing me. This book was my absolute favorite in the series. I might have said that about all of the other four books, but I really mean it, this one was my absolute favorite. The witty banter between all the characters was hilarious and made this book. Maddey, our Queen of writing happily every after, deserves her very own happily ever after. But something is holding her back and she can’t figure out what that is. To me nothing is better than a happy ending, however, will the heroine of this book allow herself just that, happily ever after, or will something prevent her from her very own fairy tale???
The Coven is back full swing in this book. If you are a fan of Alley Ciz’s you will love every word she has written. If you are new to her writing, have no fear, read this book and then go read books 1 through four, you will be so happy you did.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book. The views are my own.
OOOOOOOOH keeping my mouth shut on all the goods in this book is HARD! I want to gush away with how freaking perfect the hero is but I’ve zipped my lips. Let’s just say if you like your men sexy, sweet, alpha and with a dash of good humor you’re about to be in heaven.
Maddey’s book might be one of my favorites from BTU Alumni. There was so much goodness going on here. Excellently timed Disney puns, loads of giggle inducing humor, as much steam and you’re hoping for with Maddey being The Queen of Smut, suspense, and OMG THE SWOON IN THIS BOOK! Alley Ciz managed to make a story that not only keeps you on your toes but also steals your heart.
