i think i have a softer side for tommy because of his longing feelings for andi. everyone knows tommy likes andi ever since they were kids. everyone except for andi knew that the feeling persisted over the years. it took her a while to realise that the person she wants to be with has always been there for her. tommy treats andi well and with all the respect. i was so happy when they finally got together because that had been slow burning.

Even more boring then the first. A kind of unrequited love story. I think this author and me aren't a good fit unfortunately

Gracias por un final mas decente, gracias.. A veces esta autora te hace el corte de la vida y es la última linea y tu como: "¿What?". Tommy me parecio super dulce, si parece que se desmayaba con Dawson el hermano de Andi, pero es que la quiere tanto que AWWWW... Son lindos y me encanto que Andi fuese decida.. Asi que liked it!

SINOPSIS:

"A veces pasas la vida buscando algo y descubres que ha estado justo en frente de ti todo el maldito tiempo."

La muerte prematura de su padre y una infancia tumultuosa han dejado al minero, Tommy “Huck” Sawyer, endurecido a las emociones y relaciones. Andi Sullivan es la única mujer que puede romper ese duro exterior. Pero Andi, la hermana gemela del mejor amigo de Tommy, está destinada para mejores cosas, lejos del control severo de su padre y de la ciudad minera llena de hollín. Parece que todo está en contra de Tommy, incluso tener la única cosa que su corazón más desea.
Andi Sullivan ha alcanzado la meta de su vida de una exitosa carrera de enfermería en la ciudad, lejos de su ciudad natal. Incluso comenzó a salir con un médico. Todo es perfecto y de ensueño… casi. Algo o alguien está tirando en su fibra sensible, llevándola de regreso a Bluefield, el lugar del que estaba tan ansiosa de salir. Cuando un accidente presiona a Tommy Sawyer, su problemático amigo de la infancia, de volver a su vida, Andi pronto se encuentra dividida entre dos mundos y dos finales felices.

Lovely!!!

[Monse · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 Este me gustó más que el primero pero tengo un horrible problema con los finales de Tess. Al inicio todo va bien, pero es la segunda vez que al final se apresura en las partes en las que bien podrían ser un poco más desarrolladas, y esos finales súper abiertos son lo peor, más porque en los siguientes libros no se habla tanto de los personajes principales de libros anteriores.

Tommy and Andi

Really good, loved the hobo train aspect

New to me Author. Would definitely try this Author again.

[Amber .:★Wild Heart Reviews★:. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm so on the fence with this book. I wanted to like it far more than I did. This one is Tommy and Andi's story. You find out about these two in the first book of the Bluefield Bad Boys series. They are wonderfully build up and it leaves you wanting to read Dirty Talk.

My problem with this? I loved the raw, gritty feel of the first book. You don't often see books about a coal mining town, or even coal miners in general. Tess Oliver did an amazing job in the first book, but with Dirty Talk, you take a corner away from that. This one is more relationship focused, which isn't a bad thing because the story is still really good. I think, for me, I just went into it wanting to see more of that coal miner atmosphere that you got with the first book.

It's a pretty straight forward friends to lovers, in love with the best friends sister, tale. It has a perfect amount of angst, and a steady pace. That is, until the very end. The ending feels rushed to me. Aside from those things, it's great! Still one I would recommend and I'm highly anticipating Dawson's story.

[Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 - 3 stars.

It wasn't bad. Could have done with less of her being with the Doctor. There was nothing there between them. As soon as he was out of the picture I felt like the book started. Which was 1/2 way in. Would have liked more couple time since it took so long for them to get together.

Since the book was titled Dirty Talk, I expected more of it. There really wasn't much in the sexiness department. Wasn't anything I haven't read before.

Needed an epilogue for people who aren't going to read the next book in the series. Like me. I usually don't read series or spin offs unless I absolutely fall in love with the surrounding characters which is rare. Would have liked to know how their future is going to play out. I guess it's a HFN type of HEA.

Andi's brother Dawson is protective and you add Andi's man to that mix it's just lethal for people who wronged Andi:
Dawson nailed his fist against his opposite palm. “Who was he? Where the eff is he? Huck and I are going to send him to an early effing grave.”
“Yeah, Sulli, who the hell did this to you?” Tommy asked with a jaw clenched like a steel trap.
I love this series it's my new favorite from Tess these men have a strong bro-mance going on and I love them.

4 Andi & Tommy Stars
Really sweet story with a gorgeous hero who I adored. Andi was a lovely heroine. So why not 5 stars? It felt like Tommy loved Andi more deeply for longer although by the end I was convinced. Quite a quick read. This was a real heart wrencher in places in respect of Tommy's past. He is a beautifully written character. Andi grew on me through the book. The whole novel had a real 'still waters run deep' vibe..

[crashqueen73 · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am giving this one a two star rating because it read like a Mills and Boon.

Easy to read. Predictable and ..... boring.

Absolutely not what I was looking for.

[Annmarie · Rating 4 out of 5]

No cheating, there is brother drama; he's the brother's best friend, friends to lovers, but they always loved each other. She had a crappy Dr. Boyfriend but that ended, HEA.

[Carol · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tommy has been in love with Andi since he was 12 yrs old. The only problem is she is his best friends twin sister.
For me this just took to long for anything to happen. It took Tommy so long so finally share how he felt, but he was drugged to actually admit it. Andi always knew he had a crush on her but she didn't realize how much he really felt.
To top it off Dawson was against them hooking up. Which I didn't understand because in the previous book he came across as urging Tommy to finally admit how he felt. Then in this book he was made and actually hit him for seeing her.
What was up with Andi's dad? Throughout the series it was how their dad was such a hard ass and cold. He never had anything positive to say to them and then out of the blue the end has him a total changed man.
All in all an okay read.

[Tara · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a joke from start to finish. They all have magical healing abilities apparently because they can withstand burns, concussions, stabbing, and be perfectly fine the next day.

I wanted to love it because I’m a sucker for forbidden romance but no no no. It was possibly the worst book I’ve ever read and the author should be ashamed of herself for using “cream” during all the sex scenes because WTF is that

[Pao Palma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me gustó mucho el libro. Muchísimo más que es primero. Los personajes son muy tiernos. Creo que para ser un libro espectacular le hubieran faltado unas 100 hojas. La autora para del desarrollo al final en un capítulo y no le pone epílogo a los libros, algo que lamento terriblemente porque siento que algo le falta que no me termina de llenar. Me gustó y lo recomiendo.

[Penny Sherek · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Tess Oliver Books. This series wasn't the best of hers, but they were still good. I liked them especially as they took place near where I grew up; however, I did see lots of fiction in the way the folks back there were portrayed or should I say the city. I loved the characters. The narrators were great.

[Kristina Curtis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good second book in a series. I picked it up and sat it down once or twice. But am glad to continue the books. I will eventually get to book 3. This one I found to be more pleasant than the first one.

[Debbie Thomson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Now this was the opposite to the first book, there was a great connection between characters but I just wasn't feeling the story at all just seemed to plod along with nothing really going on. Don't think I will bother with the next one

Aburrido y cuando se pone bueno se acaba.

Es la historia de Sulli y Tommy, ella es la,hermana gemela de su mejor amigo Dawson,
Están enamorados desde pequeños pero no hacen nada hasta que se da un viaje con ellos solos. Dawson se pone furioso, lo acepta. Fin

Dirty Talk

A good read!

Part of a series but can be read as a standalone.


Andi and Tommy's story is a best friends sister, forbidden-ish romance. It takes a wee while to get going but worth it when you get there!

Will be adding g Bluefield Bad Boys Book 3 to my to-read list.

[Nina K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love love loved this one Huck so far is my favorite.

[Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this series so far, but I do feel like it needs a little bit more angst or something.

The characters didn't really suck me in like most of the characters in this author's other books. I didn't really get invested in them, even though I liked the premise.

Really good ‘friends to lovers’ story.

again no spoilers, just read & enjoy

[Donna Sweeney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kindly provided with an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review......

Again, I am repeating my poetic's about Tess......she is a brilliant author !!!.
This was Huck and Andi's book and it was quite the emotional journey for these two. God Tess know's how to pull on your heart strings and she lead me on a roller coaster of will they, wont they ?.

But in true Tess fashion she ensures all ends well for her readers !!!. A Must READ for a emotive and gorgeous love story.

Well done Tess and many thanks for the opportunity xxx

Later peeps xx

This is Tommy and Andi's story and book 2 in the series about a coal mining small town. I think you would be fine starting with this book. You'd miss a little backstory of the guys, but it's added to this book in enough places to get you caught up.

Andi is Dawson's twin sister and has grown up very close to Kellan and Tommy. Tommy has a major case of unrequited love for Andi. She noticed him when they were younger, but never really let herself go there because he was her brother's best friend. In this story, Andi still has a thing (not really dating?) with the doctor she works with at the ER. For the first half of the book she is still with him, but knows in the back of her mind it's not working out (although there were a few scenes where she seemed to try). It's an understatement to say the doctor thinks more of himself than her and is pompous. Meanwhile, she's beginning to look at Tommy in a different way and it takes some time (most of the book) for her to get there. It's incremental and a slow build that takes its time. Once she becomes fully aware of Tommy, as a man and not the boy she patched up along with her brother and Kellan, she's 100% with him. And that's knowing Dawson is not going to handle it well. Again, it was a slow build as we followed along with Andi and her awareness of Tommy, but once it happens the story really flew by for me.

I felt like I was missing a little something about Tommy's character for me to really understand him and instead I was left wanting to really connect to him. We're told what happened to him as a child to make him become the man he is today, but there aren't any present day interactions (with family or someone in the past) to better understand him as this darker version. We know from the opening scene and what Dawson says that he's a manwhore, but it wasn't as obvious and in my face as it had been with Kellan (which is actually a relief). Again, I think it's because I was "told" these details as facts rather than scenes where something happens to leave that impact (beyond the opening of him hightailing it out the window of the weirdo girl's home - seriously, she's nuts).

Obviously, Dawson is next but an obvious heroine is still a mystery. I was a little sad we didn't see more of Kellan and Rylan. Interestingly, I'm very interested in a story about Becky (Rylan's friend from book 1) and especially Scott, the owner of the bar/Hole, who we saw in book 1 had changed a lot over the years.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review. (3.5)

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dirty Talk is the second book in Tess Oliver’s Bluefield Bad Boys series. Dirty Talk is about Tommy (Huck) Sawyer and Andi Sullivan. This book could be read as a standalone novel, but I recommend reading Dirty Shame (Bluefield Bad Boys) book #1 to get the backstory on Tommy and Andi’s characters. There are some things that happen in Dirty Shame, book #1 between Tommy and Andi that are mentioned at the beginning of this book, and if you have not read Dirty Shame, you will be wondering if you missed something. You cannot go wrong reading Dirty Shame book #1, as it is such a fabulous story.

First off, let me start by thanking Tess Oliver for another drool-worthy cover. This story is about Tommy who is a coal miner and has been in love with Andi since childhood. Tommy’s best friends are Kellan (main character in Dirty Shame) and Dawson. Dawson is Andi’s very protective twin brother, who believes that no one is good enough for Andi, especially Tommy. Andi has grown up around Dawson and his two friends; always there to patch them up after whatever trouble they have gotten into. Andi has dreamt of getting away from Bluefield. However, several events happen that has Andi opening her eyes and seeing Tommy for the man he has become, which has her questioning everything. Now throw in controlling, over-protective parents, and now you have a story that has you feeling every imaginable emotion there is, and you are left wanting more. I loved Dirty Talk. Once again Tess Oliver delivers a book with suspense, fun group of friends; happy, but sad times, and a whole lot of sexual angst and steamy sex. I mean look at the cover…do I need to say more. I could say more if you want me to, but the way Ms. Oliver deliciously describes the sex scenes, I would not do it justice. I am such a huge fan of Tess Oliver. This is yet another series I am excited to read. I love every single one of her books. She has such a way with developing characters in a new series, which result in a smooth transition from one character to the next. I highly recommend reading Dirty Talk, and don’t make any plans for that day because once you get started reading it you will not be able to put it down. This book is once again another hit for Tess Oliver.
