pi-Zap-7 '𝐅O𝐑E𝐕E𝐑 𝐅I𝐋T𝐇Y' Is the second full length reverse harem romance book in the (Dirty Temptation) series by new to me author 'Samantha Barrett' spoken in dual perspectives. This centers around Vivian and her boys (Ezekiel, Hayze & Archer)..

This series so far has the best covers!!

After the way the previous book left off with friends divided and twins (Vox & Viv) estranged I needed to know which direction they were all headed and if they were all out of the society’s grips for good.

But instead of picking up where the previous book left off this one goes a step further and starts one year later showcasing Vivian infiltrating The Saints from the inside with the help of her trusted right hand man David, he's also determined to see her succeed.

Whilst Vivian's sitting on her throne fighting to take down the corrupt men within the company her boys are done stewing away in the background, they put on their masks and go after the girl they love.

Why Choose
Murder & Mayhem
Masked men
Secret society
Forced proximity
Touch her and d🔪e

Have no fear we still see my favourite boy Vox (Vivian's twin) make an appearance in this book he's still as alpha as ever, still a bag of dicks, but still my favourite out of these boys but a runner up is close behind him and that's 'The Butcher' who makes an appearance, and I have everything crossed in the hopes that he gets his own book and the vengeance he seeks.

The author ramped this story up, from the heat, to the nerve wracking twists and turns, to the emotional turmoil this put me through, this had me sitting on the edge of my seat.

I loved the fact that everyone underestimated Vivian, what the boys set out to do in the previous book, she accomplished it, though it came at a high price, Nova lost someone she loved and Viv lost a man whom became a father figure.

This one put me through the paces, from the highest of highs as these boys claim their girl, to the lowest of lows as tears glistened in my eyes over the losses.

I’m excited for the next book in this series.. 65451226-2019570151487824-6157464638251335680-n

"Not only did I kiss him, I did it in front of the boy who took my virginity and my f*cking
husband"

This book starts a year after the first book finishes but with a different set of main characters. Vivian just wants to take down the Saints from the inside and do it with the people she loves far from her to keep them safe. Her brother Vox and his best friends have different ideas.
I love Vivian and how strong and ruthless she is. She is kinda an evil genius with how she sets everything up. Her men in this book are more prominent but we still get Vox from time to time.
"Archer is my protector, Hayze is the one that soothes my soul, and Ez, well, he's the one that
keeps me grounded." I like them all but there were times when I thought Archer was a d*ckhead. Vox is still my favorite although we get a glimpse of the butcher who might give him a run for his money. I enjoyed the plot. It was entertaining and easy to follow along. The only thing I hated was how and why David had to die. I was unsure of his loyalty in the beginning but he turns out to be awesome. Great read and I can't wait for book 3.

Vivian is now the head of The Saints (secret society) she banishes her brother Vox , bf Nova and her brothers friends (which she is in love with) or else they’d be killed. Now she has to navigate her way through it all on her own with only one trusted ally. What happens next is beyond excite. So please read this one it was so damn good.

This being book 2 of the series we jump straight in, it’s been 12 months since the previous book ended and lots has occurred for Vivian.
Even though the boys were banished, they seek their way around this to get face to face with Vivj, she has changed since taking on her new role in the secret society.
I love the new venture, the way she has been able to manipulate the men.
I adore the persona - well it’s almost like a mask she wears around the society men, it’s brilliant and written with such detail and emotion.
The guys are not the same due to their absence, but it’s great to see they can move forward with a common goal.
As the saying goes, let the chaos begins - I want to give more detail but it’s too hard not to spoil it for you all.
All I can say is that I was utterly mesmerised by the storyline, I couldn’t put it down. The action, the manipulation, the secrets, the masked men and the hot AF steamy scenes all make for a deliciously dark read.

Book 1 was amazing, and book 2 was even better. I absolutely love the twists and turns this story puts you through. Vivian is such a B.A.. Love that it ends up being a why choose romance (because who doesn't enjoy a good reverse harem once in a while?). It wasn't hard to see that coming based on events in the first book, but I loved that it happened for sure. Samantha Barrett is an amazing author who is writing some addicting dark romances, highly recommend this series.

The plot in this book was fast paced and awesome. The smut was so smutty. Archer Hayze and ez love Vivian so deeply and love to worship her like the queen she is. Mhmmm chefs kiss.

Things I want to remeber…

Those old fucks may not want me here but I also won’t allow them to push me out. I originally wanted to shut the Saints down and say fuck you to The Brotherhood that cost me my father but when I looked deeper into their records and actually listened to the stories some of the members told me about my father, I learned he wasn’t the man we thought he was. “Welcome to Lividica where the seven deadly sins are welcomed and all kinks are praised and embraced by different women and men.”“I never fucked Vivian, Hayze.” He reels back clearly surprised by my answer and I dart my gaze to Archer who is looking everywhere but at us. “But, clearly Archer did,” I snarl. “She still has to graduate college before she can fully lead the Saints. Vivian is going to be touring CHU,” I tell them. Mathew Dawson “My father and four uncles own half the school and sit on the board of CHU.”I take a deep breath and try to reason with myself that I’m just envisioning this feeling of being watched because of the letters, but then I see a shadow emerge from the trees. Left Horn—Hayze Draven, Right Horn—-Ezekiel Tempest, No Horns—Archer Malik. leaving me and Archer facing off against each other. “You son of a bitch, you shit on me long before that asshole and you know it.” “How?” he bites back. “You took my fucking virginity and then acted like it never fucking happened just so you wouldn’t have to face my brother's wrath!”“Lordess, a package was delivered to your home address.”“Lordess, a package was delivered to your home address.” He’s stalling. “David, tell me what the fuck was in the package now and stop putting it off. I’m tired and⁠—” “The DA’s head was in the box, Lordess. We believe the person behind these letters is Alexander Denver.”“Why the fuck is The Butcher coming after me?”David sighs. “You would be surprised how most of them have changed their tune since you opened Lividica. A lot of them are singing your praise, Lordess, they have even noted that their wives are happier.”I refuse to acknowledge the fact that this shirt is one I stole from Ezekiel last year. I used to steal all of their shirts. I love sleeping in them, just to have their scent wrapped around me as I drifted off, as it always made me feel safe. “And if we win?” “What do you want?” “You spend the night with the three of us.” “I’m not fucking any of you.”I just kissed Hayze Draven! Not only did I kiss him, I did it in front of the boy who took my virginity and my fucking husband! The three of them ignore me and continue to stare so I choose to be a real bitch and yank the small triangles to the side exposing my tits to them. “Take a good look, boys, they’re tits and every girl has em!” The three idiots groan and don’t even attempt to look away. “What is your hope out of this little pow wow?” I snark. “For you to realize that the three of us clearly have feelings for you, Vivian, and none of us are willing to let you walk away.”“They want you like I do. Now do me a favor and take what we are about to give you,” he mutters against her neck. Her mouth parts on a silent gasp and both Hayze and I groan knowing Archer has just stroked her pussy. “For someone who hates us, you seem to be soaked for the monsters that ruined your life, baby.” Ez pierced. The fucker just smirks and tells me to get a cloth. I do as he says only because our Vivi baby just took a triple cream pie. The fact they even offered me a scholarship in computer science under the guidance of Saint and Crue’s wife Katie has blown my mind. “It was another head,” he blurts out. I gasp and try to remain conscious as I breathe through the nausea. “W-who was it?” I stutter. “I think it would be better to discuss this when you get back⁠—” “Who the fuck was it, David!” I scream. “Kelly Valerian.”“Remove the banishment, Vivian. She is going to want blood and I won’t deny her.” “A favor asked is a debt owed,” I volley back. “Grant me this favor sister and the Filthy Few will be in your debt.”“I can’t lift the banishment, if you return to Hollow Hills you have to return as your alter ego.” I cringe when I hear Nova gut wrenching screams in the background. “Okay. We’ll be there tomorrow, I have to go.”“You may think I'm an animal but even I have a code, and hurting women and children isn’t something I do. I punish the guilty, not the innocent.”“For starters, you are the lordess of a brotherhood that is planning to kill you.” I gasp. Archer is my protector, Hayze is the one that soothes my soul, and Ez, well, he’s the one that keeps me grounded. I didn’t realize I loved them all until last year when I thought Ezekiel died and Hayze and Archer left me to help you. I thought I was being dramatic until I realized watching Ezekiel die broke my heart. I needed Archer and Hayze to hold me together but then they left and took what remained of my fragmented heart with them. I’m sorry, Vox, I never meant to love them, I swear, but I’m not sorry because I won’t give them up, not again.”“I have to wash and then get changed, I’m so fucking late!” she growls. “No washing, you’re going to that meeting with them inside you as a reminder of who you belong to. When you get home I’ll help you wash them out of that pussy then lick it clean before filling you up with my cum so you don’t forget there is three of us who own you now, little mouse.” Ezekiel’s words have her eyes popping wide and jaw hitting the floor. You have a brain and heart, they have neither. They can have all the experience in the world and we would still want you. It’s not about the looks or the sex, it's about who you are. Your heart and who you are inside is the reason we are all falling over our feet to get you to love us and accept what this thing is between us. I know it's not conventional but none of us are willing to back down unless you want us too. If you only want one, then we will accept that choice.” She swallows audibly and stares up at me with a nervous look in her eyes. “But, what if I do want all three of you?”I love you. Archer loves you and so does Hayze. All you have to do is love us back and I promise you, baby, we will do whatever we have to do to make you happy. “In order to accommodate the dormitories we would need to purchase the surrounding land. I did some digging and found that the land was recently purchased by the company Ezy A.”“Do you think they are going to come after me?” The uncertainty in his eyes answers my question before he does. “Yes. I believe you are the grand prize and until The Night Of Saints we need to make sure you are protected and kept safe.”“The girl I called you about, Kim. I think it's her in that box.” Alex out of prison and at the masquerade ball. They’re here. Security. Hayze was right, if Archer didn’t break my heart I would never have seen him or Ezekiel as anything other than my brother’s friends but as the months went by, I started seeing him and Ez as… more. I just had no idea they both felt the same way about me and fuck, I’m so glad they do because after having the three of them I could never choose. “The only way to truly kill the snake and make sure it never comes back is to take away every resource it has and that’s what I’ve been doing. Ezy A is a company I opened before I took over the Saints.” Her eyes widen in surprise. “That company has been funneling the income from the Saints and investing in other companies, legitimate companies. Like Lividica, they think with how busy it has been since the grand opening that they are making huge amounts of money. They have even put money into The Brotherhood's accounts to go toward building more hotels just like Lividica.”“Welcome to your new home, Lordess,” David says as he steps aside and lets us pass by. The house isn’t anything overly huge, four bedrooms, two baths, two entertainment areas, heated pool and gym. “Believe it or not, Vox,” Alex says, drawing Vox’s attention to him and this time I do see a flicker of emotion on the fuckers face. “I wouldn’t want anyone to suffer the loss of a sibling. Your sister will make it out of this alive, I will make sure of that. You have my word.”“You scream. We die.” I swallow audibly and nod. “Do you know what this is?” he asks as he waves his hand. I nod as terror envelopes me. “Say it,” he demands. “I-it’s a suicide s-switch,” I stutter out. The devil just smiles. He’s wearing a vest wired with explosives and has a suicide trigger in his hand, his thumb is on the button. If he releases that thing, we’re all dead. Tate and David attacked. “I just… Vivian, I lied,” she blurts the last part. “About what?” “I’m not twenty-three.” My brows raise. “How old are you?” “Seventeen,” she whispers. “What the fuck!” I shout. “Because I need you to break my arm or something so they are forced to move us so Alex can track them on the cameras.” “What fucking cameras?” she hisses. “The Brotherhood has the entire town wired with cameras so we can keep an eye on everything. Alex can’t hack them all but I know the ones on the way to the hospital he has access to. I need you to hurt me enough they take me there, it’s the only way we are going to get the fuck out of here.”“Tatum, dear?” Thomas calls out, drawing her attention back to him. “I’m so glad we could finally meet. It’s a shame your mother was a lying cunt and that you don’t have a cock or I would have raised you myself.” My face scrunches in confusion, Tate on the other hand turns pale like she has seen a ghost. ‘No!” David shouts. “You will not trade your life for mine. I have lived and had my time, your life is just beginning. It has been an honor to stand by your side, Lordess. Don’t judge me for the secret that was kept from you, judge me by the person you know me to be.”“Shut the hell up, it’s me.” I freeze at the sound of his voice. “Let go now, I need to get you out of here, he’ll kill you after he finishes with her,” Nexus whisper shouts loud enough for only us to hear. “I can’t leave her,” Tate argues. If I survive the night I know I will probably regret my decision but for right now, I won’t because I can’t have her death on my hands. Giving into this means letting this rapist go free for a second time. “I can’t carry her, I can only get one of you out,” Nexus argues. “He’s right,” I hiss. “Go, Tate.” I push. “Vivian, I won’t leave you to die,” she claps back. Lying to the head of the CIA is probably not a good idea, but I'll be damned if I lose everything I worked my ass off to give my guys. I’ve been here for ten weeks. Christmas is in four days and it fucking hurts to know that I won’t be there to spend it with my guys or my family. Fiona is a fucking bitch and refuses to allow me to leave even though I have told her everything. Thomas squealed weeks ago, the second they started interrogating him he folded so he wouldn’t get the death penalty. “Thomas was transported to Panama last night.”“Drew, Paul, Smith, Enders, Toby and Wayde will keep him company.” My brows hit my hairline in surprise. “I admire you.” “Why?” “You did what you had to in order to save the ones you love. You became the first lordess in the history of the Haven Saints. You did what no other woman has ever done, you led a brotherhood and took them down from the inside. I may not be able to prove that you were the one to bankrupt them and clearly Tracer knew the truth and still wouldn’t give you up. It’s because of the respect I had for Tracer Adams that I am going to trust his judgment of you and close this case.” Ezy A billion dollar company. I slammed the bathroom and locked it or else we would be late. “Just unlock the door, baby. We’ll be fast, I swear,” Archer pleads. “You’re a liar, you three wouldn’t know what a quickie is if it kicked you in the dick.” “Vivian, do you want to spend the entire drive sucking our dicks as punishment?” Ezekiel claps back. “They offered me my job back and I took it under a few conditions.” I peer over my shoulder at my guys, the three of them smile encouragingly and nod. “What conditions?” I ask Tate. “I can never stay in one place for more than two weeks. They can never ask me questions about my brother and if The Butcher ever asks about me, you tell him you don’t know where I am.” I gasp. “Alex is hunting you?” Her eyes darken and her fists clench at her sides. “Something like that. Now you know their secret and not that it wasn’t good to see you and all but I have a lot of work to do before I fly out in the morning, so can you all get out of my office?”

This book had me in a choke hold and captivated me the whole time from beginning to end, from plot to twist. And the twists were so good. Samantha stepped out of the mafia world and wrote about masked men, and she did not disappoint.
You read about Vox and Nova's story, but now it's time to read about Vivi and her men, Ez, Hayze, and Archer. Yes, all three men are hers, and she has the power to bring them to their knees.
Vivian is the leader of the society and wants to take them all down and make them pay for their sins and crimes. Can she do it, or will she fail? You will never know until you read her story. Samantha, my queen, you have once again proven why you are the number one author in my life.

Samantha Barrett delivered a nail-biting, heart-wrenching thriller in the second installment on the Dirty Temptation series!

Forever Filthy jumps off with a bang since Vivian banished our lovely duo of Vox and Nova from Filthy Few along with his brothers. But how about we give them a new title in this book?? Ez, Hayze and Archer all come to terms with their feelings after being banished and away from Vivi and realize they want her and to be her guy!

But it’s still not that simple we all know there’s a bit of a falling out of the brothers when the rug was pulled out from under them with their banishment. Ez has a plan and a little plot twist he put in place to get them all on the same page and same house so they could all work out their feelings and wants. And guess what?! Ez, Hayze and Archer claim the new title of Vivi’s guys!!

One of my favorite moments is when the guys visit Vivian and it turns into a screaming match but a lot of truth bombs are dropped from everyone. Especially when Vox turns on Vivi and asks her some hard truths about his best friends. I love that Vivi explains her relationship with each guy and how they fit in her mind and what connection they have that helped her fall in love with each one!

I also loved the relationship that Vivi has with David and how she has had someone always in her corner even with everyone being banished. We pickup after a year and learn he’s been by her side the whole time and helping her with the end goal of destroying the Saints. He’s always looking after her and has her best interests in mind. It fully breaks your hurt and leaves you weeping to see what becomes of him and Vivi. But the twists and turns at the end about who he really was and what Vivi meant to him stitch you back together and make you sigh!

I absolutely love getting to see Vox and Nova getting to live in their own little world of happiness! But again tragedy strikes and we get to see them battle this one out together and supporting each other through the turmoil. I’m hoping in the final book it’s a little more sappy and positive for these two because they have gone through more than their fair share!

Also - can we say hello Alexander Denver?! The butcher is back and apparently he’s a hottie! He plays a vital role in this book and you get a little bit closer look at who he is. Can’t wait to see him more in the last book! And I hope maybe one day we can meet his crew and see what those loving dangerous and dark men are like up close and personal.

After finishing Filthy Few, I immediately grabbed the second book in the series, Dirty Temptation.
Forever Filthy is Vivian Vox’s story — a girl we met in the previous book — and three of Vox’s closest friends. This is Samantha Barrett’s first official “why choose” romance.

Vivian has always been around the boys, but Vox is easily the most overprotective brother on this planet and he wouldn't let her help him. She’ll do anything to help them break free from the society’s rules. But, just like the saying “still waters run deep”, Vivian has been acting behind Vox’s back. And everything she did in Filthy Few comes back to her in Forever Filthy.
I suspected this would turn into a “why choose” romance when I read the first book —
and I’m genuinely happy Vivian gets all three guys.
She deserves happiness more than anyone else in this world.

In Filthy Few, Vivian is basically Vox’s shadow. She keeps trying to prove she can protect herself, but Vox insists he knows better.
Here, in the second book?
Vivian is a Queen.
This is her moment, her book, her power.
She leads everyone. She plans. She executes. Vivi aka the B.A. Queen.
I love how Samantha Barrett transformed her between these two books.

Hayze, Archer and Ez do their job, but they’re basically just pawns on her board.
Vox and Nova appear again, but only Nova is more involved in Vivian’s plans — and even she doesn’t know everything.

Of course, we get spicy scenes, but not too many.
Forever Filthy focuses mostly on the plot — and the plot is so twisted and complicated that you’ll be doing “WHAT?!” every few chapters.

Forever Filthy is a great continuation of the Dirty Temptation trilogy. I can’t wait to finish the last book, and before you ask (I know you didn’t, but still), The Filthiest of Them All is already waiting on my Kindle.
If you like reverse harem, dark romance, forced proximity, secret societies and strong heroines, Forever Filthy is the perfect read for you.

The twists had turns and the turns had even more twists

Vivi is an absolute Queen. She has been plotting all of her moves for way longer than anyone ever knew. She isn't afraid to reach out to anyone who could help her in her mission to take down the Saints and ensure her families safety.

This book starts almost a year after the last one. We find that the Filthy Few are not even on speaking terms but have all ended up at the same college. The anger and misery is so tense. No one is happy about what happened and they are unable to deal with it because they do not have Vivi and she won't answer when they do reach out.

Vivi may only be 19 but she knows exactly what needs to be done and will stop at nothing to ensure the Saints are finished, the town is thriving and her family is safe. That doesn't mean it is easy sailing by any means. However, when she ends up at the college to meet with the board about some stuff she needs help with she is forced to come face to face with the people she banished. Thus begins the final push because her brothers best friends are all in for her and they don't even care that they have to share.

This book is dark and twisty. I never expected some of Vivi's choices. I understand how they worked out but I am impressed by her getting them done. We find out about all of the things she has done and still does. We get her admitting to being in love and the boys loving her in return - though not without a bunch of snags. 

I love all of the men from the Filthy Few and the relationships they have with each other as well as with Vivi and Nova. I loved seeing how Nova and Nox's relationship grew and changed. I also love that Nova and Ez were building their relationship as well. These guys are all family blood related or not. 

This book did have some very shocking moments as well. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Well to say I am speechless is an understatement! Book 2 in The Dirty Temptation series is a knockout! Samantha Barrett has outdone herself with Olivia's story.
Continuing on from book 1, Olivia is now the Lordess of the brotherhood. She has a plan and decides that nothing is going to fail her taking the corrupt members of the brotherhood down. She has 1 ally in David and he tries to keep her safe from the many corrupt members that still follow Thomas Valerian.
The problem with her plan is she has to banish her twin, Vox, (and of course Nova, her best friend leaves with her lover, Vox) and his filthy few friends Archer, Ezekiel and Hayze from Hollow Hills so she can begin her destruction of the Brotherhood. This leaves her all alone without friends there to support her.
Having married Ezekiel, in secret, to obtain his last name to win her place within the society, she yearns for them all and knows they feel betrayed due to her banishment.
This story has so many unexpected curve balls that you don't see them coming and it has you reeling.
I always start a book and decide...Ahhh yes I know what is going to happen....LOL....Not so with Forever filthy.
Does she win the hearts of "her boys", as this why choose reverse harem book takes you for a ride on the dark side. Plenty of heat and steam coming off the pages as Hayze, Ezekiel and Archer try to find ways to get Olivia back in their lives.
You will love everything about this book and like me, have you wanting more!
A Delighted 5 stars from me and now I wait with much anticipation for book 3, Filthiest of them all, Alexanders story!

Book 2/3 great series

Well I have to say Vivian surprised even me with how smart she was and what her plan was all along. Again I’m going to ask why that had to happen her (you know that wasn’t needed really, and just made me sad you took her from her). Them for him to be taken too was just wrong, I would have liked for him to stay and be a father figure to her and maybe even date her Mom lol 😂 that would have sent Vox over the edge 🤣
I loved Ezekiel, Hayze & Archer in book one and they didn’t disappoint in this book, I knew they all felt something for her and I have to say I do like a good RH.
There were some smexy scenes with her boys but not too many as I think some authors fill a book out with smexy scene but this author didn’t do that.
This book is mostly about her plans and what she wants to do to the Saints alongside her club and the expansions she was making and really focused on her emotional relationship with her men.
They adore her and would die for her but she has to push them away a few times in order for her plan to work.
Vox is still his normal moody self and Nova still the BFF of Vivian and also the controller of Vox, she brings him back from losing his mind over Vivi.
Great storyline with all the plot intrigue and if it was who they thought it was murdering those people. I wanted to see more of those men suffer painfully for that part in the crematorium as that was so sad.
I definitely recommend this series and it’s after 4am here in the UK so book 3 will have to wait until I have had some sleep.

Blurb:

Secrets and lies set lives on fire…

Mine was burnt to a crisp all because I allowed myself to fall for my brother's best friends.
They turned against me and chose their friendship over me… again.
The Filthy Few got what they wanted, their favor was granted and they collected the debt in the form of my freedom and heart.
I vowed to them all that night that I would end them after I claimed my rightful place as the Lordess of the Haven Saints, making myself Forever Filthy.
They may have been the kings of this town once, but I was born to lead and it’s about damn time I took control of what is rightfully mine.
After a year of them being banished and no masked men sighting since the Night Of The Saints, three masked men return to Hollow Hills, and this time they refuse to leave until I ask a favor.

A favor asked is a debt owed…

They are the Filthy Few but I am Vivivan Tempest, and I will be Forever Filthy.

Thoughts:

Excuse me maam, that dedication was scrumdiddlyumcious !
Lordess Vivian!
I ate this book up just like book 1.
It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. What I thought I had figured out, I was totally wrong! Honestly I didn’t see it coming. “It has been an honor to stand by your side, Lordess.” Absolutely Broke me. 😩 I’m still teary eyed!

I cannot wait for book 3! 🤌🏽💋

My emotions are everywhere with this book. With how the second book ended with the filthy few torn apart you know this book was going to be good. I swear these men are something and what I would give to be in Vivian's shoes I would have so much fun putting them in their place.

Vivian has surprised everyone and become the Lordess of the Saints and banished her brother (Vox), her men (Ezekiel, Hayze, and Archer), and her best friend (Nova) to save their lives but in the process create a rift between them all. I mean with these 4 hot headed men how does anything ever get back to where it was? Well that would be when Vivian realizes that she needs Ezekiel, Hayze, and Archer in her life and that her brother needs to understand that she is stronger and smarter than he is.

Can time and understanding bring these long time friends/brothers back together? Will they understand why Vivian did what she had to do? With each turn of the page a new revelation comes to the surface and you realize just how smart Vivian is. Oh and man the chemistry between her, Ezekiel, Hayze, and Archer are off the charts. A girls dream has defiantly come true.

Samantha Barrett has outdone her self again and has created characters you need in your life. Book 3 couldn't come fast enough and I needed it yesterday.

Forever Filthy was an exciting, suspenseful, and spicy romance. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I couldn't put it down and devoured it in one night. I loved the backstory that continued from the first book, Filthy Few. This book is the second in the series, and the first book needs to be read to understand the continuing storyline. I thought this book had an original storyline and kept me on the edge of my seat needing to know what would happen next. This book is a dark Family/syndicate romance and touches on dark themes and topics. I thought the characters were complex and had an intense and undeniable chemistry. I am so obsessed with Samantha Barrett's writing; she has created a deliciously dark and exciting world. Her writing style is gritty and vivid in detail. She brings her characters to life and gives them depth.

Vivian was independent, loyal, and stubborn. She was dealing with a lot and determined to get what she wanted at any cost. Ez, Hayze, and Archer were dark and broody. I loved their dedication and loyalty to Vivian. They had amazing chemistry and loved their devotion to her. They had an epic romance and the best spicy spice I have read this year it was face-fanningly hot!!! I can't wait to get my hand on the next book in this series Filthiest of Them All!!!

I love Samantha Barrett books and that she’s written a why choose one with some of my favourite characters makes me want to scream in excitement. Let me just just say, you need to have read Filthy Few before this, cos this is Vivian’s story, but Vox and Nova are both in this all the way through.
I need to shout from the rooftops how great this is. It’s emotional, dark, dirty and the sexy times are volcanic! The love between the characters both sibling and romantic was off the charts and they all at the end had each others backs.
I laughed so much at the back and forth between Ez, Asher and Hayze’s romantic antics with Vivi versus those of Vox and Nova. Vox’s total disgust and outrage about Viv’s sex life when he was doing the exact same thing with Ez’s sister was hilarious. But I cried near the end, at the loss of the one person Vivi trusted to have her back and my heart broke for them all at the end, especially when the lawyer visited.
This book is fantastic, just as tbh, any book Samantha writes is. So if you want well developed characters, emotional impact, villain’s that are cruel, dangerous and scary af, plus hot guys and an fmc that is strong and clever, who can hopefully outsmart those working against her, then you NEED to read this.

I just devoured "Forever Filthy" by Samantha Barrett, and I'm still reeling! This book is a masterclass in crafting a dark, twisted, and utterly addictive romance that will leave you breathless.

The secret society setting is expertly woven throughout the story, adding an extra layer of intrigue and tension. The why choose aspect is perfectly executed, with a strong female protagonist who refuses to be tied down.

But what really sets "Forever Filthy" apart is its sheer complexity. The plot twists are endless, with betrayals and surprises lurking around every corner. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish, desperate to uncover the truth.

The romance is, of course, scorching hot. But it's not just the steamy scenes that'll keep you hooked - it's the emotional depth and complexity of the characters. The protagonist is a true queen, with a strength and resilience that's inspiring.

Overall, I'm obsessed with "Forever Filthy"! If you're a fan of dark romance, secret societies, and complex characters, you need to read this book ASAP. Just be prepared for a wild ride and some sleepless nights!

Now for Q&A

Secret Society, Why Choose, Baddie FMC, Epic Spicy Moments, and Twists that will rock you to the core! Be ready for some unexpected moments and even some cameos. This one is definitely a must read!!

Well, Samantha Barrett knocked book 2 out of the park but I'm not surprised because she always manages to bring nothing but the best in all her books. I will say the twists in this one had me on the edge of my seat while the pain of some heartbreaking moments was worth it to finally see how Vivian and her guys get a HEA.

If you want something that grabs you from the start this is it. You get action, spice, suspense, angst, dark themes, twists, and so much more in this book. You finally get to see Vivian show her family and her guys she's not a damsel in distress but a leader who will sacrifice herself for the ones she loves when it's needed. Be ready to feel an array of emotions with this book. I highly recommend this one to any reader looking for a book that brings you into this chaotic world that will have you in a chokehold. This is an absolute must read here!! I can't wait for more to come after this insanely addictive read!!

Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆

Oh Vivi baby, you are in trouble girlie.

Archer, Ezekiel, and Hayze are come for you and when they get you, they have no plans to let you go.

Vivian is still hurt by their betrayal, she doesn’t know if she can forgive them for choosing her brother, Vox. But these three men have every intention of proving to her it’s only her they want and they don’t give a damn about what Vox has to say.

Woohfreakingweee, Samantha Barrett, you are an absolute mastermind. Your writing is incredible.

These characters, this plot, the world you’ve created with the Saints and the Filthy Few, is just perfection.

Vivi has a plan to blow it all up from the inside, with the help from someone unexpected, will she achieve what needs to be done? Will her brother and these 3 men who are now confessing their love refusing to leave her again, get in the way? Will they trust her enough to see she knows what she’s doing? Can they find out who is behind the deaths and letters, can they find out who murdered Kelly? The Filthy Few are back, Nova calling in a favor, what will happen when they are all back in Hollow Hills?

This book was amazing! 10/10, read it, but read Filthy Few first!

Let’s get this straight: Forever Filthy by Samantha Barrett didn’t just steal my heart—it threw it in a blender, added some spice, and served it back to me on fire. 🔥💔 And I LOVED every second.

Vivian is a certified QUEEN, and watching her make those men shiver in her secret society had me screaming, "YAS, girl, slay!" 💃👑

But can we talk about Ezekiel, Hayze, and Archer? They’re competitive AF, but honestly, I’d happily sit on their laps and ruffle their hair while they fight over me. 😏🔥

And Vox, my broody Alpha-hole, continues to ruin my life (in the best way). And Nunu? She’s got that man WHIPPED. 🖤💋

Samantha Barrett has created a reverse harem masterpiece—because WHY CHOOSE? Forever Filthy isn’t just spicy. It’s emotional AF. Yes, I cried. I F*CKING CRIED. 💧 This book gets 5 stars (and I’d give more if Goodreads allowed it).

Forever Filthy is book 2 in Samantha Barrett's Dirty Temptation series. It will suck you in until the end where it will leave you on edge, waiting for book 3!
Vivian did the only thing she knew that would save those she loved. Banishing them after marrying Ezekiel & taking over as Lordess of The Saints. Splitting apart her twin brother & his best friends' for the betrayal while watching her best friends leave, knowing Nova would follow Vox always. Too bad her husband doesn't take to being banished & is ready to claim her so he concocts a plan with Nova, his sister, to get all 6 of them in the same place at the same time. Would he have still made the same choice if he'd have known that 2 of his other best friends planned to stake their claim on her as well? Would Vivi have made all the same choices over a year ago if she'd known that Ezekiel, Hayze & Archer were all in love with her? What Vivi could've never known is that in the months to follow she'll make friends with an unexpected ali, find out secrets even she couldn't imagine, lose people she loves & find true love in 3 men.

Vivian is not to be underestimated. Her twin brother and his three best friends have always done what they felt was best to keep Vivian in the dark about all the seedy business surrounding the secret society their families have been involved with. They wanted to protect her even when that meant lying to her, hiding things, and even leaving her behind. It was just assumed that she didn't know about any of it and was this delicate thing to be treated gently. Oh how wrong they were.

By the end of book one Vivian proved just how little they knew about her. In this second book, she is a year into her role as Lordess of the Haven Saints. She's working some devious boss babe magic to set things right, protect her family from a distance, and take down those who have wronged her and those who try to get in her way.

Ezekiel, Archer, and Hayze are tired of sitting back and waiting. And they are tired of being without Vivi. Some friendly schemes, angry words, and sultry looks later and there might just be some hope. But Vi is determined not to let anything stand in the way of her goals. Convincing her they all belong together will not be an easy mission.

So much happens in this journey from friends to enemies to lovers. Secrets, lies, betrayals, death, mayhem, surprises, twists, unexpected allies, and so much more. Great dark and twisted read. Some stuff I hoped for while other events I never saw coming. I can't wait to see how things go in the next book.

Vivian’s story had me hooked from the first chapter. I loved how unapologetically bold she is—hurt, betrayed, and still determined to rise. Her fire and grit made it impossible not to root for her, even when the choices she makes are messy.

The masked men bring that perfect mix of danger, temptation, and unfinished business. Every scene between them crackles with tension, the kind that makes you want to turn the page just to see if they’ll fight or fall. The history and betrayal between them adds so much depth, and you can really feel the weight of her revenge burning through the story.

This book isn’t soft—it’s dark, vengeful, and raw—but that’s exactly what made it so addictive for me. Watching Vivian step into her power and claim her place as Lordess was everything.

If you’re into dark, twisty romance with a heroine who refuses to stay down, Forever Filthy is absolutely worth diving into.

Forever Filthy is the second book in the 'Dirty Temptation' series and must be read in order after 'Filthy Few' in order to fully understand what has been happening in this universe. This story continues where the first book finished and now Viv is in charge of the Haven Saints and is one tough, sassy woman. The dynamics have shifted between the characters in this book with each of them finding their own voice and the strength to stand up for what they want and protect the ones they love. Even though Viv, Nova and their boys were amazing main characters, I absolutely loved David and the new ones that were introduced in this story. The twists and turns will have you glued to this page turner so if you are brave and decide to read this series after looking at the warnings, you are in for one wild ride. Looking forward to reading 'Filthiest of them all' when it is released!!!

Alright so this book took me almost A MONTH to finish 😑 when I finished the first book in 2 DAYS.

The ONLY reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because this was her first why-choose story and some of the sex scenes were….interesting? Fun? Idk.

My biggest issue with this book is how unrealistic it is! And I get 1000% that this is a fiction book and authors have all the liberties but at a certain point the flow of the story is so bad. Not to mention Vivian’s relationship with the guys didn’t mesh well at all. Plus the cringe worthy feminism tropes stuffed in didn’t flow with the story either.

The author made the guys all out to be cavemen that couldn’t control their tempers 🙄 like just so many things. Like I said I rated it 3 because I loved the first book, this is her first reverse harem and it was mildly entertaining from time to time.

Vivian is a badass!

You knew after Filthy Few things were going to change- with all that happened at the end, everything blowing up. The boys are banished, Vi is in control. And man, is she ever in control. She knew it was going to be easy leading the Brotherhood, but she is a boss like they’ve never seen! And not just because she the only female to ever lead them.
But when she starts receiving…gifts…. Things start to get scary. Then you throw in some meddling boys who like to organize meetings, and her world turns upside down.
She knew what she always wanted, but was she woman enough to handle it? The Brotherhood, the boys.

I’ll definitely be reading this again because man, is it spicy in all the best ways!
