Filthy
When Echo Kelly is invited on a backpacking trip throughout the UK, she jumps at the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, refusing to let one fleeting past exchange stop her.
At least, that’s what she’s convinced herself of, until the moment she sees him again. It’s not the one-time “run-in” she was expecting, and therefore prepared to handle.
Instead, it’s an announcement she never saw coming…he’s the tour guide.
She’s got no backup plan for that.
******
Kingston knew what it meant the moment Echo accepted the offer. And when he lays eyes on her, standing in his childhood home, her fate is sealed forever. There’s not a damn thing that will stop him from finally claiming what’s always been his.
Her.
Not everyone gets a second chance—and Kingston Hawthorne sure as hell isn’t going to let his slip away.

Have you been dying for this book? I know it hasn't been long but...I hate cliffhangers. I don't like being left out in the wind, waiting for authors to give me scraps of information on my favorite characters and their actions. I often think of Kingston and Echo.
I didn't like how they left things in book one-with Echo having fallen down the stairs and broken her arm after Kingston "held" a party at her house. BUT! Echo is going to take a trip all over Europe! (and you know Kingston has his hands in that).
So, let's start off by saying that you NEED to have read book 1. There isn't a summary at the beginning, or not enough of one to get you caught up. The story starts when Echo is leaving for her grand adventure in Europe-backpacking over a lot of countries. She is very excited and has been assured that Kingston is not involved. He has not contacted her at all since the "incident" and this has left her heartbroken. However, when she arrives at their first stop on the journey, who does she see? Well, it wouldn't be much of a story if the mighty Kingston wasn't in there! HE just happens to be her tour guide...for the WHOLE tour.
Not to be detoured on her fun, she befriends others and sets out to stay away from him. And his plans are quite the opposite. Free of the constraints of first book (moral dilemma of sharing a house and her being underage), Kingston is free to put the moves on Echo. And wow, does he ever! And he doesn't just want her for a few weeks-he wants the commitment package.
The venue plays host to a barrage of gorgeous imagery. Kisses at the top of the Eiffel Tower? I'll take one, please. Abbey Road? Um, yes.
And throughout this all, we get the sweet relationship building of Kingston and Echo. What I did miss was their hilarious banter. Echo did get that with Natalie, but I missed Kingston's wit. I felt it was lacking in his character. Maybe his balls got chopped off in love...or something like that.
In the end, I would give it 4.25 stars. Good, solid, fast read. Great ending to these characters. And I wouldn't mind waking up in Scotland with Kingston. #justsayin'

Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 by SE Hall and Angela Graham
4 stars!!
So once again I was reunited with my charming Brit, Kingston Hawthorne. Oh how I have waited for this moment. After Filthy Foreign Exchange I was left anxiously waiting for the conclusion to Echo and Kingston’s story. While Echo was certain that their story was over I knew my Brit had that typical British stiff upper lip and tenacity that would mean that he would fight for who he loved…and love he did.
Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 continues on from Filthy Foreign Exchange and Echo has been chosen to go on a back tripping trip around Europe that was run by Kingston’s father. I did wonder why Echo had been chosen, but I feel that the Hawthorne family had put their match making hats firmly on and after meeting Kingston’s grandmother in this book, I am now certain. The icing on the cake is the fact that the tour guide is none other than Kingston himself. It seems these two are destined to talk.
Kingston had been incessantly talking about Echo since his return to the UK and when a Hawthorne falls in love, they fall in love for life. I have to say that I didn’t think I could love Kingston any more than I already did, but boy does he release all that British charm in abundance in this book and I fell hard. Kingston was courteous as ever but resilient and extremely patient. He played the long game, he studied his prey and played her brilliantly, not in a nasty way, but in the way she needed to be handled so that it appeared to Echo at least, she had made the decisions. It had to be her choice, she was in charge whether she knew it or not.
From when Echo and Kingston first meet once again that undeniable chemistry sparks back to life, so much so that not even Echo can deny it, much to her chagrin. She plays hard ball, but every little action by Kingston, which would seem insignificant to others, means the world to Echo. Our Kingston brings his ‘A’ game.
I loved Echo’s exuberance and excitement at finally seeing the big world on her own, she finally felt that she was growing up and she was literally like a kid in a candy store. Her thirst for knowledge and history was infectious and while most others on the tour were more interested in the night life you could feel Echo’s excitement at just seeing the country itself and the landmarks. I loved that these two authors took the time to describe and relay to the readers the sights themselves so you actually felt that you were on this trip with them and the rest was an added bonus.
The other back packers all had their parts to play and Echo does find a new BBF that had no filter whatsoever. This results in some fantastic dialogue once again and a few situations that will have you crying with tears of laughter.
SE Hall and Andrea Graham really wrapped up this duet nicely and I had many a laugh while reading as well as a few throat clogging moments too. I have loved these two books made all the more enjoyable by two fantastic characters that you could not help but fall in love with. I am now hoping that Echo’s brother, Chris, gets his story told. Reading between the lines I think he has an extremely interesting road ahead of him.

I am so glad that the conclusion to Filthy Foreign Exchange came out pretty soon after the first one because we are left so many questions. SO MANY! As I am sure you can tell this is a two part series so please do not read this one if you haven't read Filthy Foreign Exchange Book 1!
Kingston and Echo are reunited in Europe and this time Kingston gets to be Echo's tour guide. She has a lot of questions about how things were left with them when Kingston left the states but she is bound and determined to not let him fool or hurt her again. I really enjoyed watching Kingston try to earn her trust back and explain why he left so quickly in the first place. This is a "win your girl back" story and I loved it! I also really liked experiencing Europe through Echo's eyes. I felt like a little tourist myself.
Book 1 in this duet was loaded and loaded with sexual tension and book 2 was no exception because I was literally dying for something to FINALLY happen between these two. And something finally did and it was definitely worth the wait.
Great conclusion to this duet!

The PERFECT ending to the PERFECT fairytale...I loved these characters so much! Echo and Kingston find their way back to each other in this sweet, romantic, and HELLA SEXY love story. Oh, all the swooning, all the butterflies, all the blushing and smiling and tears...this story was EXACTLY what I needed right now! We all remember when our hearts took a nosedive at the end of FILTHY FOREIGN EXCHANGE. Now Echo and Kingston are back in Book Two and one is determined to get their happily ever after, and the other is determined that pursuing something will only end in more heartbreak...which begins the whole cat and mouse game that is FILTHY FOREIGN EXCHANGE 2.
"I want you, Echo - every single beautiful, stubborn part of you. I'm never going to give up again, because I know what it feels like to walk away. And now that I have you here - have you back - I'm too selfish to ever let you go again."
I had butterflies in my stomach through the entire book. On one hand, some of the jabs that Echo took on Kingston had me yelling, "You GO girl!" I was being stubborn right along with her. Good for her for demanding that they operate on HER timeline now! But then I was like, "STOP being so damn stubborn and GO to him girl!" I was back and forth and it makes me smile just thinking of all of the emotions that this story brought out of me. You will be on pins and needles awaiting the moment they finally come together again. It's explosive, it's beautiful, it's an all-consuming passion that you won't want to miss.
"I'd start practicing my patience now, Love, for I have no plans of rushing past any part of you."
OH! All the feels! I ENJOYED and LOVED every second of this! It was an angsty, sexy, swoon-worthy good time! OMG! And I'm not sure that there are any plans for this, but there was some HOT chemistry between two secondary characters that had me intrigued and I want SO MUCH MORE! We'll see if that ever comes to fruition, but a girl can dream right?

Devoured this story
Part One to be read first
A continuation of Echos story as she now embarks on an adventure around Europe with a tour group headed by Kingstons family who runs the charity.
Great characters with Echo and Kingston and great new characters, Natalie was fun and I'm looking forward to her own story.
Kingston is a great guy, swoon worthy and very much has his sights set on Echo since he left her in the states.
Told in Echo's pov, brilliantly written which flows with ease right up to the hea. No angst or drama just a beautiful contemporary romance read.
A first love and a forever love story, a great read for relaxing with on a weekend without interuption just the kind I enjoy.
Not filthy as the title portrays at all, slightly disappointed but it did fit the story the way it went, the plot mainly leads up to Kingston finally getting his forever girl.
Looking forward to more in this series.

If you hated how wishy washy Kingston was being in the first book, then worry no more.... Because he went for a complete 360 in this one, it's marvelous! LOL. He really stepped it up and I loved how aggressive he was in getting Echo's forgiveness and attention.
And Echo heard him, alright! It's a great ending to this series. My only complain is how short this book is.... I really wanted more. It's not enough for me.

I should preface this review by saying that I read Filthy Foreign Exchange not realising that it ended on a cliff hanger. There may have been some swearing when I read the last word! So I have been eagerly waiting for this follow up to see how Echo & Kingston's story would end.
I really enjoyed this continuation, there was the witty banter we came to expect from the first book (although in this one it occurs predominantly between Echo and her new friend Nat) and the chemistry between her and Kingston was as strong as ever.
It was a strong conclusion and I think anyone who enjoyed Book 1 will be satisfied with how it ends.

When I started reading the first book, I wasn't aware that there would be a second one. Now after finishing this one, I realized how much I needed this book in order to feel that Echo and Kingston's story is completed.
What the authors give us with this book is their second chance in being together while backpacking all-around Europe. It was exciting to see Echo experience all these new places for the first time, and even better seeing Kingston experience them again with her! There's a lot back and forth between them because of Echo's uncertainty to open up to Kingston again.
I loved the secondary characters in the book. Echo's new best friend, Natalie, is a breath of fresh air in the book and her friendship with Echo is truly beautiful. She's witty and a smart-ass, and her interactions with everyone made me laugh so hard!!! I was so happy to see Kingston's family. His father, is different from what I pictured him to be in the first book; that was a pleasant surprise. His grandmother I loved so much and I was sad for her..
The ending was truly beautiful!! I really loved the book and I'm so glad I've read it at last!!!

The conclusion of Echo and Kingston’s story does NOT disappoint! After finishing Filthy Foreign Exchange, I have been eagerly awaiting this book to see how things played out for Echo and Kingston and if they’d ever find a way to truly be together without everything else getting involved.
Book 2 starts after Echo has graduated college and is embarking on a backpacking tour of Europe. She knew that the foundation she was with was Kingston’s family, but she was hoping upon hope that she wouldn’t see him, and have to deal with the heartbreak all over again. Her wishes definitely did not come true, and what should have been a backpacking tour across Europe ends up being that and a chase of Kingston going after what he wants.
We get to meet a lot of new characters in this book, and some of them I absolutely adored (Nat, Poppy) and some I really, really despised (Jackie, Patton), but each of these characters brought more to the story, and helped Echo see what she really wanted. Nat was the perfect friend for Echo. She pushed her to do things she wouldn’t normally do, and was outspoken when Echo was quiet, but also a good friend an a shoulder to cry on when she needed. I wasn’t 100% sure of Nat in the beginning, but she proved herself over and over again to be a great friend to Echo and even to Kingston.
Kingston is a man on a mission in this book. His pursuit of Echo is relentless. He refused to allow her to push him away and for him to not be allowed to explain everything that happened when he was there with her. I must admit, I wasn’t sure what his excuse would be, but I’m so glad that when the truth came out, the air was cleared and Echo was finally able to start to let go of the past and focus on a future with him. He proved himself over and over again in this book, and I wanted to be like, “Echo, if you don’t take him back, I’ll find a way to get into this book and take him myself!”. He’s definitely an alpha at times, but has a sweetness to him, and many times in this book I swooned over the things he did for Echo.
Echo grew so much in this book from where we first met her in book 1. She’s stronger, and she knows what she wants in life. She has let the past teach her and even though some things were horrible that she went through, it helped her know she could make it through anything. Her banter with Nat cracked me up at times, and her and Kingston’s text messages were H-O-T as well as quite hilarious.
Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 is the absolute perfect ending for Echo and Kingston. I loved how it ended, I just wish we would have gotten a bit more of how things went for them. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these amazing charters and am hoping upon hope that Angela Graham and S.E. Hall will give us more of them in hopefully a book for Seb?!
If you haven’t read these books, you are missing out. Run, don’t walk, to pick up your copies of Filthy Foreign Exchange and Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 and fall in love with Kingston and Echo!

Team Hall & Graham have fucking done it again! I loved Filthy Foreign Exchange and the cliffhanger about killed me but it was so worth it! It's time for Echo to fly...
Echo has graduated High School and ready for a backpacking trip across the UK. She won't let her experience last fall get in her way. Kingston obviously has gotten over it since she has not heard from him since her birthday many month ago. So, now this is the perfect time for her to move on. To start fresh. To have fun. To experience Europe with a group of new people. Maybe she will even form some new friendships. She was ready for it all until she sees him. Kingston. Her tour guide on her adventure. And he is determined to stay close. And not only because of her safety. To prove that he hasn't forgotten about her...
Echo can't do this. She wants to hate him but her heart is betraying her. And her body is being a wicked bitch too. She feels him when he is near. He still makes her weak in the knees when he whispers but she is fighting so hard against it. She doesn't want to get hurt again. But Kingston's mind-reading skills is at an all-time high. He knows she feels the pull but he tries so hard not to push but when he wants her to believe in him, there is no stopping him. Who will win the battle? Can Echo get Kingston to let her go? Or will Kingston break down the walls around her heart?
I devoured this book in one sitting! I loved Kingston in the first book but I fell in love with him in this one. Hard. My god...he is so fucking swoon-worthy! Echo is strong, I know this because I would have no fight in me. My little white flag would have been lifted the minute he looked at me with his sexy smirk. And that accent...damn. But really, it was such a fun, flirty, and swoon-worthy read. The added bonus for me was Natalie, Echo's new friend and roommate. She is unfiltered, witty, and she was the perfect match for Echo. I will admit...I hope she gets a book!
Overall...I am in love with this book. It has everything. I laughed hard. Totally swooned. Gasped. Teared up. And like I said...I devoured it. I had to know what was going to happen next. And, I felt like I was traveling alongside them.
Quotes:
“She’s a bit excited. First day out of the psych ward.”
“You know exactly what—and we both know the answer is yes.”
“Ah, Love, I’ve told you many times, I have my ways.”
Echo has graduated High School and ready for a backpacking trip across the UK. She won't let her experience last fall get in her way. Kingston obviously has gotten over it since she has not heard from him since her birthday many month ago. So, now this is the perfect time for her to move on. To start fresh. To have fun. To experience Europe with a group of new people. Maybe she will even form some new friendships. She was ready for it all until she sees him. Kingston. Her tour guide on her adventure. And he is determined to stay close. And not only because of her safety. To prove that he hasn't forgotten about her...

I cannot tell you how much I loved this sequel to Filthy Foreign Exchange #1, I loved these books with a passion, I guess because I love the writers and the stories they produce.
Before you think about reading this book, you MUST read book 1 first otherwise you will not know what is going on.
Book 2 follows on with Echo finally traveling with her parents’ permission to the UK, what you don’t know at that time is will she meet Kingston again and to be honest I was dying to find this out. I loved how excited Echo was to be leaving her home town on her adventure, it was sweet and also very brave of her to do especially leaving her family and I loved how everyone was with her when she left, the emotion of the family. It just felt so real to me.
I was hoping like I think most would have been hoping that Echo would have heard from Kingston since her accident but nothing, nada, zilch that is why I was anxious to find out if she would see him, or meet up with him when she got to London. I wanted to know if the connection was still as strong as in the first book, would they reconnect, how Echo would be with him if she did meet him again.
When Echo finally lands in London she is like a big kid in a toy store, it is so lovely to read how excited she is, I loved that.
Things take a different turn when on the backpacking trip her host turns out to be Kingston. Well you should have seen the huge smile on my face at that development, I was ecstatic, now these two had to talk and get things sorted. I was so happy.
The secondary characters you meet in this book are just as interesting, the way these authors write the story is great as you are not just concentrating on 1 person, and you have a whole bunch of people to fall in love with or hate.
As the tour goes on and they explore different cities you can see that Echo and Kingston need to get things sorted and it is not until later on in the story that they actually get to talk about things and clear the air. You are still not sure here if they will re connect or get back together.
What I will say as I leave you without giving away spoilers is that these two are destined for each other and when two people are like that well, heaven help those who try to get in between them.

I fell in love with Echo and Kingston in the first book and I have been dying to get more to their story. Needless to say I was excited and looking forward to reading this book and I can honestly say it not only lived up to my expectations but surpassed it. I didn't think that I could love these characters anymore than I already did but after finding out what really happened and how Kingston is determined to show Echo the truth and to show her his love it made me love him impossibly more. He has jumped to the top of my favorite book boyfriend list.
Echo is in the UK on a backpacking trip. When she arrives as if it wasn't bad enough to be staying at Kingston's family home she finds out that he is going to be the tour guide. Still hurt and not trusting herself she tries to keep her distance which would be next to impossible if she hadn't made a friend. Natalie ends up being her confidant and they become close friends. You will love Nat, she is hilarious. (I really hope we get her story along with a certain somebody possibly in the near future). Meanwhile Kingston is trying to get Echo to let him talk to her and explain what really happened. He has been without her and can't go on without her and is set to show her the love he has for her and only her. Unfortunately this may not be such an easy task. Not only is Echo carrying a lot of hurt, mistrust and an unclear understanding on what happened his last night in the US but there are things occurring that have her questioning him yet again.
S.E. Hall and Angela Graham did an amazing job with this series. I could tell by the blurb that I would enjoy this series but these books have made it to my all time favorites list and I will definitely be buying the paperbacks to have on my shelves with my select favorites. These two make an awesome writing team and I look forward to hopefully more by these two in the future.

***** 5 cranky stars *****
You must read Filthy Foreign Exchange 1 first!!!
I met Echo and Kingston in book one which really left us hanging. Echo is a naive teenager just finding herself in the chaos that's become her life. Kingston is the rich foreign exchange student who's playboy attitude and mysterious ways keep Echo and the town guessing.
Now the tables are turned and Echo is in London, in Kingston's home. She doesn't want to be attracted to him but the chemistry is off the charts.
Truths will be told and steam will rise from your ereader as we follow these two on their journey of a lifetime.
I love the characters and all of the antics they get up to. I have to say this book is pretty tame on the heat level for these two authors but the story kept me intrigued. With the descriptions of each place they went I felt like I was there. Ive never seen two authors collaborate as well as Angela Graham and SE Hall.
I highly recommend this series to all my book friends.

Echo Kelly's just starting to get over her broken heart when she's invited on a once in a lifetime chance to backpack through the UK. After being assured she won't see him more than a time or two, she decides to live her life and take it. Unfortunately that's all shot to hell when she finds out he's going to be the tour guide, and she's not prepared at all to spend that much time with him. When Kingston Hawthorne sees Echo in his home, he's determined not to ever let her go again, but she hasn't forgiven him, so she's doing her best to ignore him. That doesn't deter Kingston from his goal, so he ups his game. Will he be able to get her to forgive him, and give them a real chance at something amazing?!
Let me start out by saying, you must read the first book before reading this one. OMG I seriously LOVED this story! The character development is fantastic, with an entertaining cast of secondaries added in. The authors mesh extremely well together, and there isn't a break in the story where it shows there is more than one author writing it. They reeled me in from the beginning, and had me sitting in one position until I finished it cover to cover. Well placed humor had me laughing hard, and finally the simmering chemistry throughout book 1, ignited into HOT sexy scene goodness! My only complaint is the length, as I wanted MORE! BUT, to be honest, not sure if any length would be long enough to satisfy the love I have for Echo and Kingston's story! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a cute YA Fairytale. The characters are coming of age and discover that it takes two to progress a relationship.
The story returns six months after the first book. Echo has graduated high school and has been invited on a European backpacking trip. After arriving she quickly discovers Kingston will be the tour guide.
Echo has no interest in rehashing the past or pursuing a further relationship with Kingston. She was hurt once and doesn't want to suffer from the same fate a second time. Kingston wants to rekindle their relationship. He looking for just a little spark of interest from Echo to move forward with his plan on wooing her back into his life.
Echo and Kingston have undeniable chemistry. They are drawn to each other. It's Echo who has to be willing to open up her heart and listen to the truth. I was shocked when the truth was revealed about the fateful night Kingston was sent back home. I found myself seriously asking myself WTF. The story needed more details regarding Charlotte and her relationship with both Echo and Sebastian. I still have lingering questions regarding the whole Charlotte fiasco. The story have a YA/Fairytale feel. Kingston refers to Echo as innocent which is very accurate. Echo is coming of age, she's just beginning adulthood and relationship challenges. She's experiencing life and finding her way. The story is sweet, romantic and delivers a HEA thankfully in the epilogue. 4 Stars!

Review of Filthy Foreign Exchange Book 2 by S.E. Hall and Angela Graham
Review done for Hooked on Books & CherryOBlossoms Promotions
4 out of 5 stars
We finally have the ending we have been waiting for. We were left with quite the cliffhanger in book 1: poor Echo injured and her heart crushed and Kingston sent back to England for his bad boy ways.
In book 2, Echo has been given the chance to travel Europe. She is extremely excited to finally be given freedom to be on her own. That excitement is short lived when she finds out that the tour guide happens to be Kingston.
Echo is not ready to let Kingston back into her life; he hurt her very badly. She also wants to be free to finally experience new things on her own.
Everything is not how it seems and eventually truths are revealed. Kingston is going to do everything he can to prove to Echo that they are meant to be together.
Book 2 was very sweet and romantic. I loved that we got to learn a lot more about Kingston and I was also happy that Echo didn’t just fall at his feet. He had to work for her trust.
I also enjoyed the virtual tour of Europe we got. Having not been there myself, I was able to picture things through the characters.
I really enjoyed this sweet love story. I definitely recommend this series to read!

The second part of FFE was another book I've been eagerly waiting for. I really enjoyed the first one and couldn't wait to see what happened next with Echo and Kingston.
The story of this one is good. I loved the frienships, the settings, the romance and the generally how this book was wrote. What I didn't like was the ending (A little bit too much for me in the OTT sense) and the english dialogue. Seriously, we do not speak like that! I like about 40 minutes from London by train. I am not rich, nor poor but I was bought up well. Seriously, we do not all speak like a bunch of toffee nosed idiots! At times it grated on me how Kingston spoke. I couldn't make up my mind whether he was an 80 year old Baron or a teenager like he was wrote in the book. It just felt wrong. You can be bought up around money and with good breeding without talking like a Victorian! Sorry, I really needed to get that off my chest.
So this book could have been a 4 star book, but Kingston drove me insane just by the things he said. Echo was great although at times I felt like she acted out of character too.
would I recommend this book? Actually I would recommend them both, I did enjoy the story like I said but just wish the voice of Kingston had been... Well, different. 3.5 stars.

Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 picks up where book one left us.
A few months have passed and Echo has accepted the invitation to go backpacking through the UK. When she arrives in England she is taken to the Hawthorn residence and meets Mr Hawthorn.
When Mr Hawthorn brakes the news that it will be Kingston who will be guiding the tours Echo is less then thrilled.
Seeing Kingston again had Echo confused, she knows what they had shared was in the past and they way he left but she still can't help but have feelings for him. Kingston wants Echo, he will stop at nothing to prove that she is his, but Echo was burned once by Kingston and doesn't want to get hurt again.
Kingston be able to prove that he is the one for her? Will Echo let him in?
Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 had me hooked, I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting! SE Hall and Angela Graham have created such lovable and memorable character that will stay with you for a very long time.
I love the introduction of the new characters and and the return of old ones, hopefully we will see them in the future (please please please, Sebastian needs to tell his story)
Humour, Passion and Family, Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 has it all! Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 is a must read and you will not be disappointed!!!

I’ve been dying for the ending to Kingston and Echo’s story and it’s absolutely perfect! I loved this book, it’s funny, sexy and intriguing - I didn’t want it to end!
Echo is following in her brothers footsteps by heading to the UK for a backpacking trip hosted by Kingston’s father, Gerard. What she doesn’t know before arriving is that Kingston is to be their tour guide. Echo isn’t even close to ready to forgive Kingston but he’s bound and determined to win her back and he sets out to show her a sweet, romantic, time of her life. The only thing keeping Echo sane at the beginning of her trip is her newly found bestfriend, Natalie. Nat has Echo’s back through everything and her wit and sass add a little something extra that we didn’t get in book 1.
My favorite character in this book was definitely Natalie and I was so excited to see that we’re set up for her book next! Echo and Kingston’s story is so sweet and I love that the authors had me laughing throughout almost the entire book. I enjoyed every page and I look forward to more from both SE Hall and Angela Graham!

I was pulled right into this story.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those book(s) first
Filthy Foreign Exchange
When these two authors get together be prepared for steamy, naughty fun. You get a great story as they are great authors on their own. But when they write together it adds just a little more to the story. This book brings out all your emotions and makes you feel everything in the story. This is more of Kingston and Echo’s story. When you think you are never going to see someone only to see them again. Watch as these two fall. All the sexual tension will have you on the edge of your seat. These ladies really know how to crank up the HOTNESS in the story and keep you turning the pages. If you have never read these authors together give it a try and pick up this story you will not be disappointed.
I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I recommend this book.

I was s0 excited to be able to finish the story of Echo and Kingston!!! The last book left me yelling and screaming for the rest of the story!!!
I was so excited that Echo got the change to go live her life, she had talked about wanting to be able to go out on her own and explore. She's such a creative person she really needed that outlet. This trip to Europe was so perfect for her! Then when we found out Kingston was tour guide I died and went to heaven!!! I was really hoping he was going to be there and the fact that he would be there the whole trip was amazing! Kingston just continued to wow me, his family too!
I really loved Natalie too! And we got to see just how close she was to her brother Sebastian, it was adorable to see their interactions and his interactions with everyone in her life. There really wasn't more I could have asked for from this book, it was the PERFECT ending to the PERFECT STORY!

This book was brilliant and the perfect follow up to Filthy Foreign Exchange 1. SE and Angela are at it again with their newest release and it couldn't be more amazing. This book was sexy, sweet, fun, intense, passionate, and captivating. And if you thought you were a fan after book 1 in this series, then hold on to your knickers ladies!
And they are back! Are you ready for more of the sexy duo, Kingston and Echo? Because these two are going to please your hearts, souls, and minds. They are going to make you laugh, swoon, get all the feels, and inevitably fall in love along the way. And by the end of their story, you will see that it was worth every single moment.
I highly recommend this book and series.

They are going to make you laugh, swoon, get all the feels, and inevitably fall in love along the way. And by the end of their story, you will see that it was worth every single moment.
I highly recommend this book and series.

"Love is such a beautiful thing, you know. It’s not always easy—we’re all flawed—but a life with someone we cherish and love is much fuller than one without."
Hmm, so Filthy Foreign Exchange Book 2 was only an okay read for me, because to be honest, I enjoyed the first one better.
I mean, Kingston still swept me off my feet, him and Echo still gave me the swoon-y feelings, the new characters were truly refreshing, and I finally got answers that I desperately needed when the first book ended.
BUT!
This one felt a bit, for lack of a better word, lacking.
Anyway, 3 stars for this!

Attention!
this story is YA. So YA, so it reminded me the story I read when I was 15.
(Yes, I read the rape scene from Clan of the Cave Bear when I was 13).
It was nice and good read. But, it wasn't for me. And I really really didn't know that when I first picked those books
No filthy at all- disappointing.

Echo is in London. Ready to backpack this area. Unknowingly to her Kingston is her tour guide. Kingston wants to win her back after he left her so long ago. It's going to take time as Echo is mad. Can he make her fall back in love with him? Or will others take her part? Great read. Couldn't put down till finished.
