M.Robinson is back to her to her dark mafia vibes! Always an author, I immediately one click to read everything! (Well, nearly everything)

I loved it! Luke Jameson, the son of infamous Creed Jameson, a successful businessman and feared crime lord with a notorious reputation. Dutchess is a new DJ at one of his clubs, and from the moment their eyes meet across the room, well, as the saying goes...the rest is history!

The chemistry between them is absolutely explosive!!!

However, Duchess, her name is Sloan (revealed much later) isn’t who she appears to be. My heart broke for her when the truth was revealed.

This was a jam-packed story filled with secrets, lies, betrayal, and trust, as well as power and control, forgiveness, and above all else love! M. Robinson is back to her dark mafia vibes, and I am here for it!

I look forward to reading what’s in-store next, always at the end of her books, she says its the end for the MMC AND FMC of that book and only the beginning for another character...looking forward to reading about Sloan's brother...Navarro Del Toro, releasing later this year from our favourite Queen of Angst!!!!

‘Suddenly feeling pissed, I snapped, “Why can’t you understand what I just said to you? Why is it so hard for you to have a man respect you for more than what’s between your legs? You thowin’ it at me isn’t goin’ to make me fuck you. If I want pussy, all I have to do is walk outside that door. Ya feel me?”

It has been a moment since The Queen of Angst brought us one of her gritty reads. If you are an avid reader of Monica’s - she has gone way back and given us Creed Jameson’s son Luke. If you are newer to Monica be prepared because this book will grab you by the throat, just the way Luke would enjoy.


Luke Jameson is no stranger to the gritty life. His family has run the Devil Rejects Motorcycle club for years and although his father was now a law-abiding citizen didn’t mean Luke was following suit. He has chosen to live in a dark and seedy world. His world was all about the business and living his best bachelor life. Until the hot, sought after DJ, Duchess began working in his clubs.
Duchess lives for her time behind her equipment bringing life to a club. She swore off love a long time ago. She owns her Latina heritage living the American Dream. Losing herself in the music is how she has survived. Luke threatens all her pieces of mind.

Someone was coming for Luke wreaking havoc in his business life.

Despite his resolve to not lose himself to someone else, Duchess has him hooked.

Luke makes her feel in ways she has never. Doing and sharing with him things long forgotten.

At forty-three Luke finally feels like he has found his person.

Only a revelation of her identity will complicate things beyond what either could of imagined.

I absolutely loved this book by M. Robinson. She is back to her body boy, dark mafia vibes with the story line and I am here for it!
Luke is one hell of a MMC, brooding, intense and, above all, loyal. His intensity kept me glued to every page and his obsession and love made me turn page after page.
Sloan, well what can I say, she is perfectly imperfect and the best MFC to balance Luke. Her pain and suffering can be felt as if it's your own with every worth she says and every confession she makes. I shed so many years for her is not even funny, and I loved every minute of all the feels she made me feel .
The cameos were amazing as always but I feel there was one missing that would have been icing on the cake, at least for me. This doesn't take away from the amazingness of this book and I sincerely recommend that everyone reads it

[Rhiannon Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I seriously loved everything about this book!! I could not put it down! There was love, action, and suspense, it truly made for an amazing book!
And of course the MMC was AMAZING, everything about Luke Jameson was great. He was protective, loyal, sooo intense, and obsessed with Sloan. Their connection was perfect and I was rooting for them throughout the whole book.

I cannot wait to see what is in store next!

Muy picante 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

M. Robinson does it again! Luke & Duchess are a rollercoaster ride of emotions. He’s the quintessential bad guy & she’s a wild child. The angst, the steam, the suspense…Chef’s kiss.
This book does touch on darker themes; be sure to check the trigger warnings.

I received an ARC of this book (but purchased a copy anyway)

[Amour.Rebelle.Reads (Bran.d) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This third book revs up with Luke, a Jameson from THE notorious Jameson family who’s taken the reins of the MC. He’s got his hands in the legit club scene but isn’t shy about rolling in some shady ventures🫣, either.

Enter DJ Duchess, the new Latina spitfire laying sick tracks at his Miami club, who totally piques his interest. She’s a true FAAFO girl, keeping him guessing and on his toes with her wild side.

Their chemistry? Hot as a Havana night! The banter is sharp, and the steamy moments had me fanning myself🤭. With all the twists and turns in this wild ride, I couldn’t put it down.

Can’t wait to see what The Queen of Angst has in store for us next🖤

*Wow!!! Luke and Duchess are an explosion! They start off icy as all get out and that sass coming off our DJ babe is incredible! My fave heroines are always sassy ones!! I have actually not read Creed’s book so starting with his son’s was interesting for me! But as always, M. Robinson delivers amazing work!!! The steam and the plot is incredible! Can’t wait for more!!

i was pleasantly surprised by this book, it’s a dark romance and it is DARK so check your trigger warnings but i absolutely devoured this. the drama, spice, twists and action was incredible. i was entertained the entire time.

[Susan (susayq ~) · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's been a while since I've read an M. Robinson book. I'm glad I picked this one up. I enjoyed Luke and Duchess. Luke is a bit brash with him thinking he's the epitome of organized crime when others have done it before him and more will do it after him. I liked Duchess A LOT! She was smart and had tried to do things on her own. She made me like Luke more LOL

Luke is one of THOSE Jamesons. And he's inherited all their traits - the ruthlessness, the distrust of everyone, the ice running through his veins...you get the picture. Then a beautiful, kickass woman finds her way into his life, burrows beneath his skin and into his heart. But trusting her could be the biggest mistake of his life and it will take everything in him to keep loving her after her secrets come to light.



Duchess has many, many secrets, and one of them is the big one, the one that can upend her life, the life she's making for herself with the man she can't resist. But if Luke can't trust her because of all her secrets, what hope does she have at making a relationship work with him? And more importantly, what hope do they have at making it out of this mess ALIVE if they don't have trust between them?



Wow, so freaking intense! Luke and Duchess make one hell of a couple with all the twists and turns and secrets that make up their relationship. I can't say that Luke is all that likable, anti-hero, ruthless Mafia criminal that he is. But along came this amazing, sassy DJ who had the right combination to unlock his heart, they just had to hurdle a few obstacles, learn to trust each other, learn to love each other, and they were finally able to have something neither ever could have imagined when they first met. If you're a fan of Luke's family (Road to Nowhere series), you'll definitely want to read Luke's story. I personally loved his story because of Duchess, though. She's amazing - a survivor with a strong backbone, a feisty mouth, and a big, tender heart.

🚨𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗟𝗘!🚨


If you’ve been craving a book that’s going to wreck your soul, break your heart, and then stitch it back together with pure, unfiltered smutty goodness—look no further! 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘭 is here, and it’s serving EVERYTHING.


🌶️ 𝙇𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣, 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙚?

- 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒊-𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒕! He’s a brooding, scarred Mafia billionaire with a permanent "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦" face, but somehow… 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙬... he 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 hate her. 😏 Oh, and he's got a “𝘯𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴, 𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘙” policy. Yeah, sure, big guy, we’ll see how long that lasts.

- 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙚? Oh, she’s not taking any of his sh*t. She's a fierce Latina DJ with a backbone of steel, spinning tracks and throwing shade like nobody’s business. She’s the sass to his smolder, and let me tell you, watching them clash is *𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘧’𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴* perfection. 💅

- Oh, did I mention the age gap? 15 YEARS, baby! That forbidden, “𝘐-𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵-𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵-𝘺𝘰𝘶-𝘣𝘶𝘵-𝘐-𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺-𝘥𝘰” tension is THICKER than a $500 steak at a five-star restaurant. And it’s just the right amount of slow-burn until it sizzles.


💥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁:

You want mafia action? 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞.
You want a billionaire who’s too damaged to love? 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞.
You want hate-to-love vibes so strong you’ll need a cold shower after every chapter? 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞, 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞, 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞!

Then you throw in the forced proximity (yes, there’s only ONE BED, don’t you love that?), and the smoldering stares that could melt ice... I promise, this book will leave you sweating bullets and begging for more. 🔥


🤯 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲!

There are battered scars (yup, we’re going deep into the feels here). Our hero has a past (because, duh, mafia life), and his soul is darker than his billion-dollar empire. But she sees right through his cold exterior, and boy, is he screwed! 😈

🔮 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀:
You’ll be screaming, “𝑱𝑼𝑺𝑻 𝑮𝑬𝑻 𝑻𝑶𝑮𝑬𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹 𝑨𝑳𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫𝒀!” from page one, because fate loves to mess with these two. It’s like they’re destined for each other, but every possible obstacle is thrown their way. The anticipation is agonizing in the BEST way.



✨ 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕:

𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘭 is the dark romance equivalent of a roller coaster—one minute you’re up in the clouds, riding the sexual tension high, the next you’re plummeting into emotional chaos. M. Robinson throws everything into this book: passion, power plays, danger, and a love story so twisted and deep that you won’t know whether to scream or swoon.

So grab your snacks, dim the lights, and clear your schedule. Once you pick this up, you’re going to be in Mogul mode until the last scorching page. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. 💋

Ready to swoon, squirm, and scream? Dive in, darling. But be warned: this mogul doesn’t play nice. 😈

[Sandy S · Rating 4 out of 5]

FILTHY MOGUL is the instalment in M. Robinson’s contemporary, adult BILLION-DOLLAR MEN erotic, romance series. This is businessman and crime lord Luke Jameson, and DJ Sloane aka Duchess’s story line. FILTHY MOGUL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luke and Duchess) FILTHY MOGUL follows the building but acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Luke Jameson is businessman who straddles the line between his legal and illegal operations but Luke never expected to come face to face with a woman he knows only as Duchess, a young woman who is willing to stand up to our story line hero. Someone is taking aim at Luke Jameson’s operations, and Duchess is about to be caught in the cross-fire but all is not as is appears to be, and Luke is about to discover that betrayal comes in many forms. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Luke and Duchess, and the fall-out as the past takes aim at our story line couple.

The world building follows the building relationship between Luke and Duchess, as well as Luke’s attempts to uncover to truth. A rival crime lord is determined to take down our story line hero but Luke never expected the betrayal to come from someone he knows.

The relationship between Luke and Duchess begins acrimoniously as Luke wants to get up close and personal with our story line heroine, a woman who continues to push away Luke at every opportunity. As Luke begins to fall and lose his heart, terror takes hold when our heroine goes missing. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Cartel leader Vicente Del Toro, his sons Xavier and Navarro, as well as Luke’s parents Creed and Mia, and his sister Harley and husband Jackson. The requisite evil has many faces.

FILTHY MOGUL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and trust, power and control, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, dark and raw; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, broken and dynamic. FILTHY MOGUL ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

[Maddie (Bookaholic_Dreamer) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Filthy Mogul is the third book in author M. Robinson The Billion-Dollar Men series.
In this Forced Proximity, Love/Hate, Age Gap, Mafia Romance, we follow the story of Anti-Hero Luke Jameson and FMC DJ Duchess aka Sloan Duchess Del Toro through their dual perspective.

Unlike the previous books in the series, this story falls on the darker side with being a Dark Mafia Romance. Especially considering who Luke is, the work he does and the world he lives in.
Through his character development we follow his story in the present, whilst still learning about his past from all that author Monica presented to us along the way.
Particularly for those who may have not read the story of Creed Jameson, father of Luke, since he appears in Filthy Mogul as a secondary character amongst Luke's other family members.

As for Duchess, the same was done for her character development. However in the beginning she was more of an enigma, keeping her cards to herself and never truly opening up. Making her a mystery to not only the readers but to Luke as well.
But as time goes on, we start to see the unravelling of her layers, with walls coming down and having her character being opened up to us. With all that we see and learn as the story continues to unfold.

The exploration within their relationship had its ups and downs, taking you on quite a ride. Seeing the two pushing, pulling and going back and forth. Pouring out intense emotions from the feelings made known.
And despite their relationship being complicated, due to the dangers of the world they lived in. Even with that said, it couldn’t be denied their chemistry was very much real.
The flying sparks and the spicy steam they shared proving as much.

When it came to the overall narrative, the story development flowed through easily, causing every page turn to lure you in further, given the somewhat fast pace of progression.
Then again a storyline that contained mystery, secrets, lies and deceit, alongside drama, suspense given the intensity of dark, gritty, raw, deep emotions unleashed surrounding the tension caused throughout.
Whilst still having some lighter moments from the banter shared, paving the way for the story being entertaining at times too.

M. Robinson came through with the storytelling of Luke and Duchess in this emotional, Dark Mafia Romance read. Ultimately making Filthy Mogul my favourite book from The Billion-Dollar Men series thus far.

[PP's Bookshelf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Filthy Mogul by M. Robinson was absolutely electric! The action and suspense will keep you glued to the pages. Duchess and Luke set the pages on fire with their filthy explosive chemistry. Luke Jameson is giving his father a run for his money. He is unapologetically dark and destructive. If you love your antiheores, Luke will rank pretty high in your list. He owns his monsters. He rules his dark kingdom ruthlessly. And he loved with equal intensity.

Luke Jameson is one of the most feared and successful organised crime lord out there. He doesn't care for mercy or weakness and most importantly...love beyond what he has for his family. He runs a group of exclusive night clubs as front of his illegal business. Duchess joins his club as a celebrity DJ. She is sassy and sexy and instantly grabs Luke's attention. But she is immune to his charms and sex appeal. Luke isn't the one to back down though. On the other hand, his empire is under threat from the enemies. Duchess thinks they can keep it sex only but slowly their souls get meshed together. And then? Everything breaks down. Secrets come out. Betrayal. Danger. Death. Loss. Will they be able to find their HEA.

I don't think I have read a book where the heroine is a DJ! Duchess is no wallflower for sure. She has endless attitude. She is one of the toughest FMC I have read. She has dark secrets and when those will be exposed, your heart will crack. She tried to keep Luke away because she knew he will blow through her defenses. She has her reasons too. Luke never wanted someone as much as he wanted her. His life is full of chaos and danger. He loves this life on the edge. But Duchess brought a level of stability and calm in his life. With her, he felt differently. He started to think about a future. He was crazy for her. It didn't soften him though. He was still a deadly mafia king. But for Duchess, he turned the world upside down. You wouldn't see the twists coming. The last few chapters will be so bad for your sanity because it will be absolutely terrifying and explosive and heartbreaking. Ultimately love will win.

𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 😲

This book is about Luke Jameson, Son of Creed Jameson and Creed's books were absolutely amazing.

But now we are talking about his son and of course he'll also be having that cocky attitude just like his father.

Luke Jameson, I felt, was so cold and emotionless and even though his father had made efforts to get their work legal, yet the son is unapologetic about his work and the empire he's built on his own.

Luke Jameson doesn't bow down to anyone and he's simply cutthroat and ruthless and the reason why he's sustained in his chosen life of darkness and rough lifestyle.

We really get to see how Luke is a Grade A 𝖠𝗌𝗌𝗁𝗈𝗅𝖾 and doesn't give a 𝗌𝗁𝗂𝗍 about anyone, except his family and as he's so complex and ruthless in his business endeavours, pulling the trigger before asking questions, he's also bound to have enemies.

In a quest to find out the culprit behind what's happening, Luke has his work cut out for him in order to find the person behind it all.

Until, this mysterious woman he finds working in his club makes this ruthless man feel things that he's never ever felt before.

Also, intriguing is the fact that unlike other women who throw themselves on him, she's not interested in him and doesn't come onto him strong in spite of the obvious sparks flying between them.

She teases him with every encounter and for the first time Luke wants to spend time with a woman just to be with her and not for her 𝖻𝗈𝖽𝗒.
She also refuses to tell her his name, which leaves Luke baffled and wanting to find out all her secrets.

But he was definitely not ready, for what waited for him when he would find out about those secrets.
Seriously the revelations and the twists, had me so shocked as I so didn't see that at all. 😱

The depth of what lies behind it all and how it would change everything, I didn't at all expect would happen.

We have lots of action packed scenes going hand in hand with lots of spicy times as well as filthy hotness.

Luke and Sloan will surely keep you guessing till the very end of this rollercoaster ride full of emotions and crazy secrets.

[V Elgin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a return to M. Robinson’s intense bad boy angst, it is full of action, crime, suspense and deep seeded secrets that will keep you pulled in throughout the story. Her main character’s Luke Jameson,(yes,Creed’s son) and Sloan ‘Duchess’ Del Toro aren’t stranger’s to this criminal lifestyle, but both have had involvement for entirely different reasons. Luke is definitely an alpha, who totally dominates his world with his take no prisoner persona, but who has real trust issues. When it comes to Sloan, he is protective, possessive and even shows a softer side. Sloan is a strong willed, feisty, tough independent woman, who tries to take care of herself as best she can, all while keeping secrets.

Filthy Mogul is the third and final book in the Billion-Dollar Men Series. It’s an age-gap, anti-hero, boss/employee, dark romance. When these two come together their chemistry explodes. I loved the instant attraction, plus the push and pull of their banter.The tragic part of this story is the secrets Sloan holds, which she isn’t able to fully reveal to Luke or anyone for that matter without destroying herself or another.

One of my favorite things about this series of books was the inclusion of first generation characters. M. Robinson really incorporated each character seamlessly. Though, I’d have loved a little more of them, but what we were given was still great.

I really enjoyed reading this intense, steamy romance which M. Robinson gets back to her dark romance roots. It was a quick easy read that you can totally read as a standalone. M. Robinson is an expert with the bait and hook, which she has successfully achieved by leaving us still wanting more with her teaser ending. I am really looking forward to whatever she is writing next.

[Melinda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pardon my languge but Holy Crackers M. Robinson has definitely gone down the rabbit hole so deep it's a wonder how Duchess and Luke will ever make it alive. Right from the start we have a woman, who not only blows Luke Jameson away, but actually makes him wonder about a life away from the clubs, drugs and the mafia.Now for a woman to be like this she has to be one bad ass woman to bring Luke down to his knees. Right away you can tell this is not your usual M. Robinson romance even though they are dark lately this is beyond dark there is well no word to explain it. We have women, drugs, secrets and a betrayal that will blow you away. I loved that we see two sides of Luke Jameson and Duchess is front and center for all the devious, sexy and demanding side of him.The thing is that she may all be about the music and tough as balls attitude Duchess is still a young woman who just wants what well want, real love. Mysterious as ever she is one person you think you know but bam M. Robinson throws a curveball you never saw coming. Now Luke is definitely a man who has seen it all but the connection these two have is off the charts even it shocks him to the core. One thing for sure Duchess is definitely not someone Luke imagined being attracted to but have to applaud her for how she stays in character till the end. There is a part where M. Robinson will have you on the edge of your seat and be prepared for some crazy and Oscar worthy Carrie psycho mess that will knock you but so worth having in the book. Awesome with these two and this is just book 3 in the series M. Robinson definitely has us deeply into this series.

My oh my, Luke Jameson takes what he wants and when he wants it! Luke watches his new DJ whip the crowd into a dancing frenzy at his club, and he's impressed with how she handles herself. When he goes to introduce himself after the club closes, a sassy Duchess surprises him with her sass even after she finds out he's the owner. Though he's attracted, she remains a mysterious enigma to him when she refuses to reveal her real name. Aside from owning various clubs, Luke also delves in the shady side of things, self-proclaiming himself the "epitome of organized crime". Duchess is constantly on his mind, and she seems to keep popping up where he least expects her. They end up spending a lot of time together where her quick wit continues to bring smiles to his normally scowling face. However, he refuses to give in to her advances until he learns her real name. I loved the push and pull dynamic between them even when a cloud always seems to shade her eyes whenever he asks for her name. Knowing he could have had her followed to uncover some of her secrets, Luke didn't push Duchess, something he comes to regret when she suddenly disappears after she finally relents and shares her first name.
When Luke finally learns her secrets, he struggles with whether to believe her with his heart warring with his brain. Sloan has fought to survive all her life, and she's also torn with her feelings for Luke and what she must do to try and stay alive.
I enjoyed this edgier story from this author though I would have liked more of Luke's backstory with his family, but I'm guessing all of that is contained in his father, Creed's Road to Nowhere duet.

Luke & Duchess = intensity & heat

OMG! OMG!! OH. MY. GOD!!!

M. Robinson is back to her badassery best with FILTHY MOGUL. As age-gap, anti-hero, boss/employee, Latina heroine, dark romance which had non-stop action, scintillating heat, violence, betrayal, and two characters with incredible chemistry. FILTHY MOGUL had me transfixed, on the edge of my seat, and constantly fanning myself. It was so good I couldn't put it down, finishing it in one sitting.

Luke Jameson, yes he's one of those Jameson's, is definitely his father's son, the apple didn't fall far from the tree with him. He's intense, broody, demanding, controlling, ruthless, cold, and doesn't trust others easily. Enter Duchess, a new DJ at one of his clubs, he's instantly drawn to her, wants her, but can he trust her? Duchess is one bada$$ woman!! She's feisty, confident, lethal, and the perfect match for Luke. Their chemistry is insane, their banter intense and honest, and their heat is unbelievably hot. Duchess isn't who she appears to be, and her secrets could destroy the fragile relationship that was building between her and Luke. Duchess's backstory broke my heart, yet it explained everything about her.

FILTHY MOGUL was an incredible read, intense from beginning to end. The twists and turns were jaw dropping, leaving me speechless. Monica has outdone herself. I can't wait for more from her.

If you know me, you know the Jameson brothers are the bread and butter of my love for romance books. So, of course I’ve been ecstatic to read about Luke and the world he’s been living in (especially the way vicious tycoon left off 😉).

However, I wasn’t expecting the fireball that is Duchess…she was his perfect match even though she started off being guarded and feisty with the looks to follow. 🥵

The unexpected twists and turns got me every time and I enjoyed watching these two fall for each other throughout the entire book.

Luke comes from a loving family who cares deeply about him, but Duchess has a jaded history and insists on keeping people at a distance because her dad only uses her when it benefits him.

They fight hard against each other, but love ultimately wins and they find their happiness in fighting for it.

Luke Jameson, his father is Creed Jameson, and his grandfather was president of the Devil's Rejects motorcycle club. Creed was a war hero, a soldier, he turned his life around, and became a law-abiding citizen. Luke was into everything, drugs, organized crime, gun running, to clubs. Luke had his hands in politicians, police, FBI Agents, they were all corrupt and in his pocket. Luke is all about power and control. His life is more private, his family doesn't know about his 'businesses' but his father isn't blind to what is going on either.

Dutches (Sloan) Del Torro, is a DJ traveling around the world to do different gigs. She gets hired on at one of Luke’s clubs. Luke doesn’t know who she is other than she has a huge online following. His club is packed once word gets out that she is the new DJ.

Luke and Dutches have an icy start to their business relationship. Once they start warming up to each other Luke realizes she is the female version of him. Dutches is slow to warm up to Luke. She doesn’t let people in, & hardly has any friends.
But, once Dutches lets Luke in there is no going back. They fit each other to a T. Luke has never fallen for anyone. Dutches block everyone out. She loves the nightly texting and video chats they start to develop. But what does Luke really know about her if she won’t open up to him?

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

This is the story of Luke and Dutchess. Luke is ruthless. He doesn't trust very much at all. I don't know that I can say he doesn't trust at all. He is cold as ice and not a man you ever want to cross. He also is taken totally by surprise by Dutchess. She is someone that he really wants to trust for the first time in his life. But that doesn't come easy to him and what if it is the biggest mistake he has ever made. He certainly can't let that happen. But she brings out a side of him that I'm not even sure he realized existed. Dutchess is the light to his darkness and carrying around some huge secrets that could blow the life she has built right out of the water. When she meets Luke there is absolutely nothing in her that wants to avoid him at all cost. Not even her secrets. But, she know if they were to come out live that would be the end of her. These are secrets that could cost her and anyone she loves their lives. She just doesn't know that if the secret comes out if Luke would still be standing by her side. I swear this is on of those reads that is so intense that it sucks you really hard into the story line and your hanging on by a thread the entire time that you are reading. This is a book that I really loved reading and one that you really shouldn't miss.

Filthy Mogul by M. Robinson was a suspenseful and heartbreaking book. I loved the drama, twists and turns, betrayal, and the spice!!! I couldn't put this book down until the ending, and that ending made my heart soar; I might have done a fist pump for both characters. This book is a dark contemporary romance and touches on dark themes and topics. This storyline was gritty, raw, emotional, and original. I loved the writing it was vivid in detail and page-turning. The characters were complex and had an intense and undeniable chemistry.

Luke was intense, a total alpha, and a little dark and broody. He was loyal to his friends and family. He definitely fit the filthy mogul life he lived. He was a dirty-talking, take-what-I-want kind of man. Dutchess/Sloan was trying to live her best life, had many secrets, and was a BA in her way. She was guarded for a good reason and was stubborn and I loved her attitude towards Luke. Their chemistry was like a powder keg ready to go off and when it did it was epically beautiful and heartbreaking. I loved their push and pull and angst throughout this book. It kept me on my toes and turning the pages to see what would happen next. I loved this book it took me on a wild ride of ups and downs and twists and turns. Expect the unexpected with these two characters. 4.5 stars-By Brooke

Filthy Mogul was dark, dangerous and so intense my mind couldn’t keep up with my heart! I am a “team Creed for life” girl so I couldn’t wait to see if Monica could get me to feel the same way about his son Luke, now that’s he’s all grown up and so much like his dad! Luke was ruthless and unforgiving in his business life but he was still so loving and protective in his personal life with his family. A forever type of love wasn’t on his radar until her met Sloan - aka Duchess! She is a survivor and has been through more than most would even survive. The demons these two lived with daily for completely different reasons made them magnets to each other. When Luke said, “I thought you were my savior. Turns out you could possibly be my demise,” I knew these two would blow apart each other’s lives! They shared each other’s torments and pain like a bullet to the heart. The music, tattoos, safe word and the family bbq made me even more emotional in a healing way! Luke is Sloan’s light in a world filled with so much darkness. She changed his mind and prospective on what’s truly important. Filthy Mogul was intense and the secrets and twists and turns kept me turning the pages until the very end!

*4 stars*
The author is well known for her darker stories that definitely has something about it that terrifies you but also draws you in with a need to follow through to find the answers to all your questions. This book is Luke Jameson's story and definitely not for the faint hearted. I cringed at times and had some difficulties even though I pushed through but there were also moments that I had tears in my eyes where I truly felt the pain Duchess was going through as some of the things she had gone through resonated with me. Another enthralling read!

Luke's one of the most feared men in the world and it's not only 'cuz of his last name but he's done quite a few things that made him into the man he is today. He's ruthless and doesn't feel like anything can touch him. When he meets Duchess, there's an instant attraction between them but she's definitely not someone that will let someone walk all over her. Their relationship slowly starts to change but there's a lot of danger surrounding him. But there's a lot he doesn't know and maybe he's not that invincible he thinks he is. As the world is crashing down around them, they'll have to fight to not only survive but also to fight for love...

Filthy Mogul is the third installment in M. Robinson's The Billion-Dollar Men series, and it did not disappoint me. This dark and gritty read has a strong mafia vibe that kept me hooked from the very first page.

The story follows Luke Jameson, the son of a powerful mogul, who owns a club and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty when necessary. He becomes interested in Sloan "Dutchess," a talented DJ who catches his eye. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, but their relationship is complicated by the dangerous world they inhabit.

As a fan of the series, I appreciated the continuity and the chance to catch up with familiar characters. Robinson's writing is top-notch, with well-developed characters and a fast-paced plot that kept me turning the pages. The story is well-written and entertaining, with just the right amount of darkness and intensity to keep me engaged.

While Filthy Mogul can be read as a standalone, I believe fans of the series will enjoy it even more. Overall, this book is a must-read for fans of dark, gritty romance with a mafia twist. M. Robinson has delivered another fantastic addition to The Billion-Dollar Men series, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

WOW! Are you ready for a book full of secrets & lies, betrayal & trust, forgiveness & love all fueled by power & control. It's like watching the accident happen but you just can't pull your eyes from it.

Luke Jameson teeters on the tightrope between legitimate business man and crime lord. It's a well balanced walk for him. But it is also a lonely existance. Knowing he doesn't want to ever put a woman in the danger that comes along with being with him. But from one look at the tiny latina woman up in the DJ booth it's like she crawled under his skin.

Dutchess (Sloan) has one escape in her horrible life and that is her music. DJing and letting the music flow through her body is her only solitude. Her secrets have secrets and she has been sent to do a job. Problem is she has gotten to know Luke and he is the first person to ever treat her like a person with respect. Being her fathers pawn is her most hated thing of life.

Will Luke and Sloan survive the betrayal and vengance that is to come upon them? Or will the life Luke has lived for too long finally be the end of an era for the Jameson family? Dive in and find out.

I am stoked for the next book in the series, thanks to the cliff hanger ending.

When I first met Luke in Vicious Tycoon, I was eagerly waiting for his book, because if he turned out anything like his Daddy Creed, then we were to have one hell of a story in our hands. And I as was reading the story, I sensed that Luke wasn’t going to be like his daddy, which was a bit disappointing...but I enjoyed him nonetheless.

But who truly shone for me was Duchess. She was a joy to read with her combination of wit, sass, and feminine charm. You could see her past and current situation building her into the pillar of strength that she was. And she needed that to go head-on with Luke. I loved their banter and it was a joy to see Luke become a different person when he was with her. Although the angst wasn't as high as I might have expected, I am glad that I read their story as they are two characters I can see gracing my bookshelf.
