Holy hell. Levi is so over the top hot. Serious sizzle. And damn the man has a way with the naughty talk. He's the baby of the Kincaid brothers and a cop who is all about control both in and out of the bedroom. Then Sarah comes into his life and shakes that controlled world of his. She is on the run from a monster ex and Levi wants to protect her. When he takes a bullet for her and they share their first kiss everything changes. These two are scorching hot together and I so loved watching them fall so hard for each other.

A hot, seductive and enticing read.
I've been eagerly awaiting to read Levy’s story and it didn't disappoint. There was just something about this book that called to me. Dirty Sexy Cuffed is the third book in the Dirty Sexy Series. We already met Clay and Mason Kincaid in the previous books and now this is the turn of their youngest brother to find his soul mate.
Sarah Robins is a young woman who is on the run and hiding from her controlling and abusive ex-boyfriend. For the past five weeks she has been working for minimum wage at a convenience store and gas station, budgeting her money carefully to leave Chicago the city that had brought her nothing but heartache. Sarah is done getting involved with the kind of guys using her for their own purposes. She’s determined to be strong and independent despite her deep insecurities and to start over somewhere far away.
Levy Kincaid is a gorgeous tattooed hot cop with a damaged past, always keeping his emotions in check. He wants Sarah and he’s relentless in his pursuit to get her agreeing to go on date with him. But as attracted as Sarah is, and as tempted as he made her feel, she knows the timing is all wrong, and she’d turned him down every single time he asked her out. Then one day Levy takes a bullet to protect her and uses this card to his advantage to get her saying yes and to put himself out of his misery.
Tired to be alone and feeling madly attracted to Levy, Sarah finally agrees but only for a one-time deal considering her current situation. Levy is overconfident and downright sexy, the melt-your-panties hot kind. And Sarah sees herself as plain and ordinary and nothing special for a man like him. Sarah’s past was filled with people she’d trusted who’d rejected and disappointed her. A recurring pattern in her life and something she’d come to expect and anticipate. But for the handful of minutes that Levi spent in the store, charming her with his smile and words, she’s feeling beautiful and someone special.
Levy is determined to break down Sarah’s barriers, but she's not sure she's strong enough to let go of her past and imagine a future that risks her heart getting broken again.
Things heat up quickly between the two. Neither seems to want to be away from each other for long, yet there's insecurities and trust issues from their past. Omg I bloody adored Levy! He’s kind, caring, honest and real, an honorable man who stayed true to his word. What he experienced during his childhood molded him into the man he is today, After some of the hell he was put through at his own mother's hands, he desperately craves control, especially in the bedroom. Oh Boy! the man’s mouth was so filthy with the skills to back it up.
I loved this well-written story between two amazing characters with great individual personality traits. Two broken, damaged people with screwed-up pasts who had found one another and had managed to make each other whole. This story flowed right from page one and had that ideal balance of sweet, romance and steamy. I also enjoyed revisiting old characters and that close-knit bond that the Kincaid brothers shared.
Very well done, Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. Especially that ending! Can’t wait to read Jackson Stone’s story.

“I want to lick you and eat you and taste you on my tongue as you come. Then I want to slid my cock into your soft , tight pussy and bury myself so fucking deep that you scream my name.”
It’s no secret that I am seriously addicted to the Dirty Sexy Series by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde and so you could imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on Dirty Sexy Cuffed. When we were first introduced to the Kincaid brothers, readers for the most part knew what to expect with Clay and Mason. Their personalities were a given but with their younger brother, Levi, readers didn’t know what to make up of him. All we knew that he was quiet and had that enigma personality.And so I was beyond excited to see what makes Levi Kincaid dirty sexy.
“Are you okay with being restrained to my bed while I have access to every part of your naked body to do whatever I want? And just to be clear, I want you on your hands and knees so I can grab and smack your ass while I pound into you, so goddamn hard and deep it’ll shove you up the mattress a few feet and you’ll forget your own name. I want you on your back, your legs spread indecently wide, with my mouth and tongue and fingers fucking you before I take you with my cock. And when you think you can’t take any more, I’m going to want to do it all over again.”
Levi Kincaid is the baby Kincaid brother. He is a cop and lives a life on the straight and narrow. From his rough upbringing, Levi keeps his emotions in check. He doesn’t do drugs and doesn’t drink any alcohol especially since his mother was a drug junkie who was more concerned on getting high than taking care of her children. Keeping his emotions in check, Levi is the type of man who keeps his private life private that is until he meets a young woman that he wants badly.
Sarah is a young woman on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend. She wants to leave Chicago and start anew. But starting anew is difficult when she has to work dead end jobs to make ends meet. With money being tight, Sarah works at a gas station convenience store in the dangerous part of Chicago. She is well aware that Officer Levi Kincaid is attracted to her since he makes daily stops on his shift to talk and ask her out in which she always turns him down since she feels there is no point in starting a relationship especially if she has plans to move. But luckily for Sarah, Levi was there to protect her when a gunman came in the store to hold her up. And soon Levi uses this to his advantage when he teases Sarah that he took a bullet for her. And so, Sarah finally gives in and agrees to go on a date with him.
“So she took as much as she could now, letting him kiss her as hard and deep as he wanted, and quickly learned that he wasn’t a man who did anything halfway. The pleasure was indescribable. Beyond decadent and arousing. The intensity was off the charts, and the way he consumed her, the way he claimed her mouth as if he owned it, was nothing short of intoxicating.”
Right off the opening pages, readers could sense the brewing chemistry between Sarah and Levi and it was only a matter of time till these two acted out on their sexual frustrations and desires for one another. One kiss was all it took for Sarah to finally be awakened to this raw primal need for Levi. And soon, Levi makes it known to Sarah that he is a man who needs to be in control in the bedroom and so when Sarah finally submits to him, she awakens this hunger and need that only Levi can fulfill. As Levi and Sarah embarked on their sexual adventures together, Sarah’s past begins to unravel. The ex-boyfriend that she has been running from makes an appearance. Will Sarah be forced to run away once again? Or will she decide to run to Levi?
“Somehow, two broken, damaged people with screwed-up pasts had found one another and had managed to make each other whole.”
Dirty Sexy Cuffed was a downright sexy and steamy story that had woven layers of raw emotions, vulnerability and second chances. Ms. Phillips and Ms. Wilde wrote a beautiful love story of two broken characters who found healing, comfort, and solace with one another. And most importantly, love. I adored Levi and Sarah as to how resilient they were after dealing with the deck of cards that was handed to them. So if you are looking for a story that incorporates themes of family, friendship, love, and second chances, then I highly recommend you to read this book and this series. Trust me when I tell you that you definitely would want to be cuffed to this overprotective dominant alpha with a heart of gold.

I've been looking forward to Levi's book for a long while now. There's always been something about him that showed hints towards a certain intensity that I love in my alphas. Still waters run deep with that one, that's for sure. Because Officer Levi is not the quiet man he seems to be at first sight. This is a man with some dirty dirty kinks, and it hit the spot just right for me.
If you've read the previous books, you already know that Kincaid brothers had a difficult childhood. And while you got to see Mason and Clay's sides of it, you never quiet know Levi's and this book will delve into that. I knew it had to be pretty dark but I never imagined what poor Levi had been through.
Sarah is the pretty clerk at a convince store that Levi has been frequenting just for the chance to see her. There's something about Sarah that catches Levi's interest and he knows that while she's been admiralty yet sweetly turning him down for a date, she wants him just as much as he wants her. Levi is relentless in his pursuit, but when he puts himself in the line of danger to save her life things really take off between them. But Sarah is running from something that Levi has no idea about. Sarah's childhood hasn't been any easier than his but unlike Levi, her present continues to be rough. Levi's protective instincts kick in with her and all of a sudden a man that's never been interested in relationships begins to crave just that.
I really liked both these characters. Levi is so sweet and protective with Sarah and yet he still maintains that dominant edge to him throughout without coming off as domineering. Sarah has been through so much in her young life and yet she never has a woe is me mentality. She's strong in her own right and determined to fight her own battles. But what I loved is she wasn't hesitant in letting Levi in and there was no unnecessary drama spanning from secrets here.
So why not 4 stars? Well, I felt like this book lacked a certain intensity that seems to fit Levi. There wasn't really a major conflict at the end which I've come to expect in most romance, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different. The one thing that I did have trouble with is the way Levi handled a particular thing at the end; especially with him being a cop. I was a little shocked that it was handled the way that it was considering a good portion of the book built up to that scene. I suppose it left me craving a little bit more.
This was definitely a case of my expectations getting the best of me because Dirty Sexy Cuffed is certainly a fun and sexy installment in what's come to be one of my favorite series. I've fallen hard for the Kincaid brothers and was dreading this book because it may mean the end of it. So boy was I happy when the authors thew in a crazy surprise at the end and I'm beyond thrilled to be getting a 4th book because of it.
If you like sweet heroines, protective heroes with a sexual edge, and a wonderful romance tying it all together, this is definitely a book you'll want to check out. I highly recommend the entire series, even though you could easily read this as a standalone as well. But I appreciated Levi's story that much more knowing his backstory with his brothers.

Levi Kincaid is one dirty cop--and I don’t mean at his job. Levi requires control at all times, which makes him a good cop and an even better lover. He’s the younger brother of Clay and Mason, who were the main characters in the first two books of Dirty Sexy series. In Cuffed, you get more of the family’s background and find out why growing up was so horrible for the boys.
Sarah Robins is a young woman who also had a rough childhood. Growing up in the system has left her wary and untrusting. When she meets Levi, she knows that he is a good guy, but she needs to leave Chicago to escape her possessive ex. Levi makes her feel safe and protected and their relationship develops from there.
Levi and Sarah have excellent chemistry and there is a nice build-up to their relationship. Sure, there’s plenty of steam, but they also have deep conversations and get to know one another—which I think is important and helps to round out their characters.
If you love a good guy and dominate alpha with a damsel in distress who needs to be saved, Cuffed is a good option. I enjoyed getting to know the Kincaid brothers and I will be going back to read Clay and Mason’s stories.

ARC kindly provided by Rock Star Lit in exchange of an honest review.
This is the third book for the Dirty Sexy series and it was the story of Levi and Sarah, a cop with secrets and a woman on the run.
On the positive side, this story finally gives enough information to understand the mysterious Levi, the youngest brother! Levi is the serious and logical one of the brothers and he has his reasons for it. He has a strong personality and it's difficult to ignore him when he is set to you. And he has set his eyes to Sarah, a shy girl working in a gas station. Sarah is a great heroine! She is on the run and she survives in the best way possible. I really liked her! The plot was interesting and the writing was nice.
On the negative side, everything was happening too fast and everything was resolved too easy. The relationship among the heroes was developed so fast that I couldn't feel their connection. On some ways, it felt like there was no depth in this book and I was really sad about it as I've read the previous two books and they were really nice.
The end of the book was nice and there was a great epilogue with a nice twist!

This is the 3rd installment in the dirty sexy series. This is Levi and Sarah’s story. Levi is the youngest Kincaid, and a strait laced by the book cop, and Sarah works at a convenience store. Levi has made it a point to stop into the station on the nights when Sarah is working...he is determined to get a date but strikes out every time. That is until Levi breaks up a robbery in progress and takes a bullet during the holdup. Sarah feels indebted to him and agrees to one date..... Levi takes full advantage. He is not above playing the “hey I took a bullet for you card” if it means the chance to finally go out with Sarah....
My thoughts:
WOW! WOW! WOW! It is always the quiet ones!! Levi is dirty!! I liked both characters. Levi is the strong quiet type...well in public...NOT SO MUCH IN THE BEDROOM!!! He just seems so dependable, and I loved how protective he was. Sarah was independent and didn’t give up despite having her own crippling baggage. Even though I just said I liked how protective Levi was (and I did) ....I also liked that Sarah didn’t just let him just take over and fight her battles. I also thought her back story was interesting.
Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde are really the dynamic duo, and hope they continue to collaborate!! I have said this after all the books in this series, but I will say it again. If you are a fan of contemporary romance...you need to check out this series!! Just be WARNED...this series is not for the faint of heart...it is STEAMY!!!!!

My least favorite of the series so far, but I always found Levi boring…sorry. I know many people loved this one, but it wasn’t for me. Hoping Tara’s story is a good finale.

Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
I've really loved the Dirty Sexy series by Carly Phillps and Erika Wilde and have to say I'm thrilled there is a 4th book in the works. We already know that hellhole that Levi Kincaid and his brother's survived, we know that Levi doesn't drink, we know that Levi isn't seen with female companionship and we know that Levi is a man who sits, watches, listens and offers sage advice when he has it, but we didn't know that Levi is a wee bit kinky, that Levi has secrets even his brother's aren't aware of and Levi is sure that love for him doesn't exist or at least he thinks it doesn't until he finds himself smack dab in the middle of a crazy situation with Sarah Robins, a clerk at the Circle K he stops by every night towards the end of his shift. I enjoyed this book on many levels and I especially loved that despite their somewhat different childhoods, they both had been through hard times. Together their chemistry was explosive and while that was all they wanted from one another in the beginning, they soon found out that sometimes the heart wants more and you just have to give in and let it happen.
Both Sarah and Levi have some lived through some horrendous things in their lives and while Levi has done well as a Chicago police officer, Sarah is struggling and just wants to get out of town as soon as she has the money to do so. Levi pursues Sarah and she finally agrees to a date after he takes a bullet for her. I'll be honest and say that given everything that has happened in Sarah's life and especially recent events; I felt she was a little too trusting of Levi and I just didn't buy it. While she questioned it somewhat, she still went along with everything he suggested which I found to be a bit odd considering how hard she worked to be independent after her last ordeal. Levi's about face on relationships wasn't too surprising given that he's watched both his older brothers fall hopelessly in love and the sense of peace he has when he realizes he likes sharing his space with her.
While I didn't love Dirty Sexy Cuffed as much as the two books before it, I wouldn't have missed it for the world and I have to say that interesting bit of information at the end of the epilogue, well I am all over book four as soon as it's available!
Review copy provided for an honest review.
I've really loved the Dirty Sexy series by Carly Phillps and Erika Wilde and have to say I'm thrilled there is a 4th book in the works. We already know that hellhole that Levi Kincaid and his brother's survived, we know that Levi doesn't drink, we know that Levi isn't seen with female companionship and we know that Levi is a man who sits, watches, listens and offers sage advice when he has it, but we didn't know that Levi is a wee bit kinky, that Levi has secrets even his brother's aren't aware of and Levi is sure that love for him doesn't exist or at least he thinks it doesn't until he finds himself smack dab in the middle of a crazy situation with Sarah Robins, a clerk at the Circle K he stops by every night towards the end of his shift. I enjoyed this book on many levels and I especially loved that despite their somewhat different childhoods, they both had been through hard times. Together their chemistry was explosive and while that was all they wanted from one another in the beginning, they soon found out that sometimes the heart wants more and you just have to give in and let it happen.
Both Sarah and Levi have some lived through some horrendous things in their lives and while Levi has done well as a Chicago police officer, Sarah is struggling and just wants to get out of town as soon as she has the money to do so. Levi pursues Sarah and she finally agrees to a date after he takes a bullet for her. I'll be honest and say that given everything that has happened in Sarah's life and especially recent events; I felt she was a little too trusting of Levi and I just didn't buy it. While she questioned it somewhat, she still went along with everything he suggested which I found to be a bit odd considering how hard she worked to be independent after her last ordeal. Levi's about face on relationships wasn't too surprising given that he's watched both his older brothers fall hopelessly in love and the sense of peace he has when he realizes he likes sharing his space with her.

Review Originally Appeared on I'm A Sweet and Sassy Book Whore:
http://www.imasweetandsassybookwhore....
I enjoy Carly Phillips, I have for years. I also enjoy Erika Wilde. The 2 of them together write a great story that you can’t help but enjoy. It’s well written, and it is seamless. When I know something is co-written, I always find myself playing the “can I tell who wrote what” game, and in this one, I lost. No idea when each author was writing, as the voice is consistent throughout the story.
Levi is fun. He’s a cop who likes to play with his handcuffs, which I am guessing you figured out from the title of the book. He has some leftover issues from his childhood that make him feel he must always be in control. And letting go of that control scares him. A lot.
Sarah is compelling. She is down on her luck when Levi meets her at work in a convenience store. She is determoined to start her life over somewhere other than Chicago, and she is biding her time until she has enough money to make this happen, so she says no when Levi asks her out…until she finally agrees.
The story is, as it is a romance, slightly predictable. You know how it will end up, and you have a pretty good idea how it will get there. But the fin in this is the characters, seeing Clay and Mason, seeing what made Levi into the person he is, and seeing him loosen up to allow Sarah into his life. Watching him relax, to give up small bits of his control is fun, you feel for him and you cheer for him.
The writing, as I mentioned above, is strong. You enjoy the story. You like the characters. The pacing is also on point, and there aren’t any places in the story where it drags.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series, which was announced on the author's fan page.

The book description made it sound like it was a hot BDSM book. It was not.
Instead, you get pages and pages of the hero and heroine telling each other all about their traumatic pasts. Hero's mom did drugs and made him watch as a 5 year old while she screwed men for money. Heroine is running from a cult and an ex-boyfriend. It's really a downer.
Hero talked dirty a few times and used his handcuffs on the heroine. She asked him if they were his service handcuffs (he's a cop) and he said yes. Umm, gross. How many drug addicts and prostitutes and other criminals have been in those handcuffs? Couldn't he buy a new pair for her? Yuck.
And the worst part is he proposed to her at his brother's wedding reception. Such a bad idea and it steals the thunder from the wedding day of the other couple. Very disappointing.
I also didn't feel any connection between them. While they were having sex the hero kept thinking she's different from other girls. And the heroine kept saying, "I've never had a Magnum size person before!" Ohhh,you're Magnum sized, how nice. Let's put on the Magnum condoms now. If they said the word Magnum one more time I was going to throw the book.

Levi Kincaid is the third Kincaid brother, he's a cop and ruler follower unlike Mason. Growing up afraid of loosing his brothers he learnt to lock his emotions tight and always be in control. Close to his brothers his never found himself wanting more than one night with any woman, none have ensnared his attention, that is until he meets Sarah Robins. Trying to save money to leave Chicago due to a dangerous ex, Sarah is determined to keep Levi at arms length and not give into his flirtations but when her life is in danger she finds it's his arms that offer unwavering safety and protection.
I really enjoyed this one, the heat between Levi and Sarah sizzled. It was also nice seeing the MCs from book one and two in this.

Throughout the first two books of Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde’s Dirty Sexy series, readers have only caught glimpses of the youngest Kincaid brother, but it has been made clear from the onset that Levi is the one who dealt with his mother’s mistreatment by learning to control and shut down his emotions, never allowing himself to fully feel anything, especially when it comes to relationships with women.
Levi’s the voice of reason…the brother who refuses to partake in any bad habits and walks the straight and narrow, not only as a police officer but also as a person. Levi’s past has definitely shaped who he is, but he doesn’t allow anyone to be privy to the hardships and struggles of his childhood until Sarah Robins becomes a part of his life; with her, he finds himself wanting more than he’s ever wanted from a woman, allowing his emotions to take over his control and for once feel more than a physical connection to her.
Sarah has her own baggage to contend with and it’s those scars and feelings of abandonment that have put her into the situation she is currently in – trying to escape an ex-boyfriend. All of her bad choices, insecurities, and fears stem from a childhood filled with loneliness, and even in adulthood, she can’t seem to get things headed in the right direction due to the way she has to live in order to flee a life she never wanted.
Officer Kincaid saves Sarah from a number of tenuous situations and proves to her that his loyalty and honor is not a façade. But with Sarah hoping to leave Chicago, she’s not looking to start anything with Levi – too bad her body and his persuasive techniques have other ideas.
Levi’s story is the one I’ve been waiting for since learning about the Kincaid brothers. He’s definitely the strong and silent type, but I knew that once he felt a pull to someone and looked to make her his that the dirty talking alpha male would come out and boy does he! His disciplined and controlled demeanor transfers to how he likes it in the bedroom, and Officer Kincaid definitely knows how to wield a pair of handcuffs for more than just the people he arrests!
Dirty Sexy Cuffed is sweet, sexy, and a bit suspenseful, and just like the other brothers’ books, it illustrates how far Levi has come in order to move forward without letting the scars of his past taint his future.
I love the Kincaid brothers, and I’m intrigued by the main characters in Dirty Sexy Sinner, and I hope Clay, Mason, and Levi show up to raise a little hell as well;)

***Full Review Posted***
There was no doubt in my mind that I would absolutely ADORE Levi and dear lord did I ever! And if it wasn’t enough for Ms. Phillip and Ms. Wilde to give us Levi they had to go and serve up THAT epilogue! Dear lord have mercy on all of our panties…
Now where to start with Levi?? He’s been the enigma of the series from the start. He doesn’t drink any alcohol, his brothers can’t tell you if he’s ever had a girlfriend and his control over himself is epic. So to finally get to see what lies beneath was all at once heartbreaking, beautiful and melt your panties sexy! We already know that his childhood was hell, but to find out what his own personal hell was had me wanting to wake the dead just so I could kill his mother. What he experienced molded him into the man that needs to have ultimate control over every aspect of his life and it’s worked, but what it didn’t do was turn him cold emotionally. While he does keep people at arm’s length there is no denying how much he loves Clay, Samantha, Mason and Katriana. He’d do anything for them and those he considers his.
Sarah has not had an easy life at all. It’s been filled with a huge loss, heartbreak, and having her hopes dashed time and time again. This last time has her on the run and hoping that she can find a place to give her a fresh start on a new life. My heart hurts for what Sarah went through, but I loved how determined she was to make a new and better life for herself. And though she’s been through hell it hasn’t dampened her heart or her sweet nature.
I loved their journey to their HEA. Their flirting and bantering was fun and I loved how as they got to know each other the walls they had constructed to keep people out started to fall one by one. It was done in such a way that it never felt forced or rushed. The sexual chemistry between them was panty melting, actually you may not want to wear any while reading the book, cause talk about needing to be in control. There was some drama going with Sarah, but I really liked how it brought her and Levi closer instead of tearing them apart.
I’ve said it on my last two reviews for this series and I will say it again. The writing is engaging and seamlessly woven together. And then there is the epilogue. They announced that there would be a fourth book in the series and all I can say is that epilogue is going to have everyone wanting Dirty Sexy Sinner right now!

"Dirty Sexy Cuffed by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde made me feel sexy, want to get dirty, and perhaps...try a pair of cuffs on for size. Excellent edition to the series." ~Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Free book.
Was in the mood for chessy ass romance and this solved my problems.
Super cheesy insta love (is 5-6 weeks insta love?)
🖤🖤
Anyway,
✔️Sex was had
✔️✔️Bad guys were deterred
✔️✔️✔️Alpha male was unlocked
✔️✔️✔️✔️Undying love pledged.
✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️Happily Ever After was achieved
The End😊

I liked the tenderness is this very hot erotic romance. There is good character development as two lost souls come together.
Levi is a kind hero and Sarah is her own person in a bad spot. If you want to get away from the super rich hero, this book is a great choice.

This is the third installment of Carly Phillips' and Erika Wilde's Dirty Sexy series, which has followed the romantic pairing of each of three brothers, all tortured heroes that you want to snatch up and smother with love. Each brother is different... the caretaker, the bad boy, and the good guy - but they are all undeniably hot hot hot.
The hero of this installment is the good guy law enforcement officer, Levi Kincaid. As a result of his horrific childhood, Levi is a button-down, straightlaced teetotaler that maintains control at all times. But don't let his good boy act fool you because he also likes to get dirty, and there is something extremely delicious about a dominant dirty guy with a heart of gold. I liked Levi quite a bit. He saw that Sarah was in trouble and took charge without being an ass about it. I think he handled her very well and their relationship started off on a good note.
Sarah Robins was a tortured heroine herself. Having spent most of her childhood in the foster care system, she didn't have a good foundation on which to build her adult relationships. She has trust and abandonment issues, and she is on the run from a possessive ex and cult fanatic. My heart definitely went out to her. I was a little worried that she was going to be a runner when it came to Levi... but she surprised me and stuck around to let him help. So I liked her as a heroine. She is a survivor and a good match for our in-control cop.
These are quick reads so they have an instalove feel by necessity to fit within the confines of the story. While this book had a good amount of steam, I didn't feel like the heat factor was quite as high as the previous two books. I really wish the story was longer because it had good bones and the structure would have supported more story with the steam. I think the details about the possessive ex-boyfriend and the Sacrosanct cult could have been drawn out more to amp up the suspense. Oddly enough, this is the third cult book I have read this year... is this the new trend?
There is a bit of a surprise or cliffhanger at the end of this book that sets up the next story in the series, Dirty Sexy Sinner. I wasn't expecting things to go in that direction, so I will be interested to see how that storyline plays out.
I received an advanced copy of this book through Rockstar PR in exchange for an honest review. 3.5 stars / 3 flames. Full review posted at Bambi Unbridled.

5 Stars!
This series continues to get better and better with each new release. And the Dirty Sexy series is back with the youngest and sexiest brother, Levi. This installment of the series surpassed all of the others. Dirty Sexy Cuffed was sexy, sweet, suspenseful, entertaining, intriguing, edgy, and left me with tingles from my head to my toes. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde are two brilliant writers who have created the perfect love story.
In the third book of this series, we follow two broken and damaged souls looking for love and redemption. This book was beautifully written yet emotionally charged. You will get lots of feels along the way, taking you on a roller coaster of emotions. Along with action and drama, this story is a quick read that will light up your kindle and warm your hearts. Are you ready to get cuffed by Officer Kincaid and let your inner bad girl out?
Sarah is a young girl just trying to get by. Life for her has been a struggle and she just wants to breath easy again. She has always wanted to be loved and wanted but seemed to look in the wrong places. And then trouble follows and forces her on the run. The brightest spots of her life seems to come from Levi, the sexy and flirtatious cop who takes a break at her gas station every shift he has. But letting him in is nothing something she can do.
Levi is a cop who likes control in his life... in and out of the bedroom. From a troubled and damaged past, he bears the scars emotionally now. And little does he know that the sweet Sarah he asks out every time he sees her is going to rock and shake up his perfectly ordered world. She needs a white knight and Levi plans to be that and so much more. Can he get Sarah to confide in him and let him heal her scars and show her love?
Man oh man did these two light up my kindle. The angst and sexual tension between them seemed to be combustible at times. I cried with them and laughed with them. I got angry at times and found myself on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion. These two will take you on a journey riddled with obstacles and hurdles. But their love and passion will push them forward. Fall with Levi and Sarah as they find their happy ending.
I highly recommend this book and series.

Title: Dirty Sexy Cuffed
Author: Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde
Series: Dirty Sexy #3 (can be read as a standalone)
Genre: erotic romance
Rating: ****
This is the first book I've read in this series, and I loved it. It was quick and easy, but unlike a lot of other shorter books, the pacing and development were perfect rather than rushed. The relationship between Sarah and Levi felt like it advanced realistically, and they had brilliant chemistry. The sex scenes...well, they were freaking hot.
It was nice to read a romance in which the angst is caused through other aspects of their lives, rather than through forced relationship problems and secrets. Although there were secrets, they were revealed at the right times and were highly relevant to the subplot.
I very much enjoyed this and will be going back and reading the rest of the series and the other Kincaid men.

Here is Levi's book and trust me this is the one I was waiting for and it didnt dissapoint. He is the quiet one out of all the brothers, a bit mysterious and I can see why. Always wonder about the quiet ones! Sarah is running from her past but as always it does catch up to her but she had Levi and his family in her corner! It's a good story that had me from the get go. Super quick and super sexy. I love the twist at the ending and cannot wait to see where this goes!

Levi Kincaid is the 3rd and final Kincaid brother and I was excited to read about his story since I find him to be a real conundrum. Levi is a police officer and a real rule follower not at all like his brother Mason. After a terrible childhood he is someone that seems to really keep to himself, internalizing his feelings and needs to ALWAYS be in control. He is very close to his brother’s and their women but other than that he is a real loner. He has always been very careful about choosing women who abide by his dominant rules of hot pleasurable sex with NO emotional commitment! But there is one sweet blue eyed woman that just might cause him to break that rule.
Sarah Robins works the evening/night shift at the Circle K convenience store in a high crime area of Chicago. She has no family and has been surviving on her own for a long time. She is trying to remain under the radar for just a bit longer until she is able to save enough money to leave the Chicago area altogether.
Okay I’m going to go ahead & put it out there……I really think this one is my favorite so far in this series. I found Sarah’s background story to be heartbreaking but yet she didn’t dwell on it or use it as an excuse. She instead did everything in her power to survive and get ahead all on her own without turning to the dark side.
And of course we know that Levi was able to survive his horrific childhood and also turned out to be a great guy.
I’m super pumped for the next book after the epilogue of this book!!

This one was my favourite out the series so far - Levi & Sarah were just awesome. They both had an awful up bring which made them understand each other that much more.

For some reason; I have been intrigued with Levi since book one, Dirty Sexy Saint. Carly Phillips and Erika sure do know how to write a book that keeps you tearing through the pages! Of the 3 brothers, Levi is by far my favorite.. which was slightly hard to accomplish because I was almost 100% sure that they were not going to be able to top Clay.. Way to go ladies - I am completely hooked!
If you're like me, you have been following along to the glimpses and slight backstory given on Levi throughout the other 2 books. We know that each brother handled their past differently, and Levi's way was to hold everything in, just about shut down && he even became a cop - refusing to operate outside of the laws embedded in his brain. He doesn't drink any alcohol and as far as I can tell, since he has returned to the states; no one has any idea of if he has ever even been with a female. Levi seems to be quite elusive! My heart broke for Levi as we were introduced to more of him. I couldn't even imagine having gone through what he did, but now I understand why he needs to have total control - over everything & why he lives his life the way he does.. Still, I want MORE for him.. so much more. Levi has such a kind heart (under the walls he has erected). You can see it in the way he would do anything to protect his brothers, as well as their loved ones. It's simply amazing to watch him in his element when he is with his family.
Sarah, by no means, has had an easy life. For awhile there, it was a toss up on who I felt more emotions for.. Levi or Sarah. From the loss - to the heartbreak - it's a wonder that Sarah is still the trooper that she is. That girl has something fierce in her that made my heart WANT things for her, before she even knew she wanted them for herself. Living her life "escaping," hasn't exactly been easy for her. Not to mention the choices shes made while running and the string of luck that never seems to want to go her way. Sarah has such a determined, strong willed ambition that amazes me... She was going to do things.. even if her brain didn't know it yet.
When the two of them cross paths.. again and again.. because lets face it, Levi saving Sarah has kind of become a thing - it's interesting on the highest level. The banter between the two kept me laughing and the chemistry was smoking. If you know nothing about Phillips and Wilde - just know that they have chemistry down to a science and you would be hard pressed to find a book with more scorching pages! I loved that we got to follow along to their happily ever after and it didn't feel rushed! I felt like I was getting the entire story, that nothing was skipped over or put in fast forward. (especially those steamy pages!) Levi's story was the one I was looking forward to the most and I loved every single page of it. The story flows effortlessly and the pages just wouldn't stop turning. It is rare you find novels that you MUST finish in one sitting - because be serious; who wants to put down something they have endlessly waited for! I read this from open to close.. I am sure I might have skipped a meal or 3!
If you love your romance with some intrigue, scorching pages, amazing chemistry and characters you refuse to let go - Dirty Sexy Cuffed is the novel for.. For that matter, go ahead and grab Dirty Sexy Saint & Dirty Sexy Inked as well! It was also just announced that there is going to be a fourth novel - Dirty Sexy Sinner! YOU MUST SEE THE HAPPY ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW!

Dirty Sexy Cuffed is the third book in the Dirty Sexy series by co-authors, Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and was definitely looking forward to quiet younger brother Levi’s story. Levi is a police officer with a heart of gold and a dirty mind ‘wink wink’. He’s always in control whether it’s on the job or in the bedroom. He’s recently found that late night trips for snacks at his local quick mart have an added attraction – in the form of one Sarah Robins. Sarah is a friendly though reserved gal, with enough shadows in her eyes to bring out Levi’s innate protective side. When he witnesses a hold-up at her store and gets wounded in the process of coming to her aid, Sarah drops her reserve and finally agrees to go out on a date with him. When Levi finds out more about Sarah’s circumstances, he’s determined to show her that there are good guys out there, and he’s one of them. Will Sarah give him her trust, along with her heart?
Ah Levi! If only every girl could have a white knight like you. Levi’s had a rough upbringing, but his two older brothers have always been there for him, and he’s learned his protective nature from them. Because he lacked control over his circumstances as a child, he’s grown into a man who likes to be in charge. Though he guards his heart from emotional entanglements, he’s an excellent lover, making sure his partners are on board with his plans and rewarding them well. He’s attracted to Sarah from the first time he sees her and wants to know more about her, and why she’s working in such a lousy neighbourhood. The aftermath of the robbery means she’s more willing to open up to him, accept his date invitation and give him a glimpse into her life, one he wants to turn around for the better.
Sarah’s on the run and doing her best to put the pieces of her life together, save a little money and get the heck out of Dodge (well, Chicago). There’s nothing keeping her there – except for her growing attraction to Levi. She can’t resist the chemistry between them and when Levi shows her the type of sex he’s into, she’s a very willing partner. Their love scenes are super sexy! Under that facade of calm Levi burns hot, and it shows when he gets to play. The two of them together are a well-matched pair. Sarah worries about letting another man take control of her life outside of the bedroom, though – been there, done that, and it didn’t end well. There are a couple of scenes where Levi skirts the edge of being a little too controlling, but he’s quick to back off and reassure Sarah that he only has her best interests at heart, and that he really does care about her and what she wants.
There are some more intense action scenes in the second half as Sarah’s past comes back to threaten her newfound happiness with Levi. But things all work out in the end and we get our happy ending. We get some great scenes with Levi and his brothers Clay and Mason, and their partners who make Sarah feel welcome. Plus, a little epilogue shows us that the series isn’t finished yet! It was a very entertaining, sexy romance and lived up to my expectations. 4 stars!

I have been waiting for Levi's story since I first read about the quit sexy cop. You got just enough to be curious about him but not enough to know what made him tick. And ladies....when you find out what kinda man Levi is.... Holy moly!! He was HOT! Like burning up my kindle hot!
Levi like the other two Kincaid's siblings hasn't had the easiest childhood. To say that Levi is filled with dark, hellish nightmares is putting it mildly. He keeps it all in. Keeps on his best behavior. Doesn't drink. Doesn't man whore, follows the rules and keeps his life private. Now don't get me wrong, just cause Levi keeps it straight and narrow doesn't mean he is all goody two shoes. He has a wicked sexual side that made me just goo in his hands. But the lucky little B that gets him is Sarah. * grumbles *
Sarah, aww my poor baby girl. One thing Sarah can relate to with Levi is their shared troubled childhood. Sarah lost everyone she has loved at a young age in the most tragic way, and since then she has been looking for a safe and loving place to lay her hopes and dreams down at. She has been in one bad situation after another and as soon as she gets enough money saved up she is moving on to a new city. But Levi has other plans for her and him. He sees her and over the next few weeks woos her till she is goo in his hands. And when he wants something, the man is relentless. He is protective and will do anything to keep Sarah safe and with him.
This was such a good story I've been flowing this series like a addict and it's been such a great ride. I'm sooo glad to hear that the series is gonna continue and boy wait till you see who's next!! I recommend this series to anyone who's ever had a sexy cop fantasy that involves a pair of handcuffs!!

~3.5 stars
Levi has always been the Kincaid brother that had my interest peaked. He was quiet and mysterious. You just knew he was more then he showed everyone. Always reserved and he never wore his emotions on his sleeve like his brother Mason.
I think I had my hopes up a little to high for this one. I really liked books 1 & 2. I was hoping this one would that plus so much more because it was Levi's book. I think I wanted more angst and I did not get that. For what it was though, this was a decent book.
There was one part where I feel like Levi acted out of character. His actions to me didn't seem like something he would do. That along with this feeling a little to light for Levi are my reasoning behind my ratings. Also, there is a certain formula for romance books. When an element of that formula is missing it feels off. The ending of this felt rushed and wrapped up to early. There was no ending conflict and nothing for them to get through or work together on. I just think that is kinda needed and it wasn't here.
I still enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in this series since it looks like we will be getting another one.

Another amazing story from the fantastic duo that are authors Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. As with the first two books in this serious I was hooked from the first page. The story line is engaging, and there is enough drama to hold your attention until the very last word, throw in some seriously hot and steamy bedroom scenes and this book has it all.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Levi, and wondered where his story would go, and I was not disappointed. Like his brothers, Levi is a true alpha male, possessive and dominating, but all done in the name of love. Sarah is shy and sweet, but running from her past; together this couple are a perfect match. Both the main characters have had troubled pasts, and I loved seeing them develop and grow throughout this book.
It was great to catch up with Clay and Mason and the banter between these brothers is awesome. I must admit going into this book I was a little sad as I assumed this was the last in the series, so you can imagine my giddiness when I got to the epilogue, yup you guessed it there is another book to come, bring on Dirty Sexy Sinner!
