Dirty Filthy Rich Men

Dirty Duet #1 (#0.5 incl'd)

by Laurelin Paige

This is a previously-published edition - ASIN: B01MYZXU0O

When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn't know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me.

I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted--I knew who I wanted--until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.

And then what it was like to lose it.

Ten years later, I've found my way back. Back to their world. Back to him.

This time, I'm ready. I've been down this road before, and I know all the dirty, filthy ways Donovan will try and wreck me.

But it's hard to resist. Especially when I know how much I'll like it.

Laurelin Paige, my heart has been split open, absolutely TORN APART, and the only thing that is holding it together is the promise of book #2. I've read some DAMN GOOD duets in the past, but MY GOD, this one takes the cake! EROTIC TO THE CORE, you've created something special and unique with these characters. I've never wanted to throw my kindle against the wall more, and yet, I couldn't spare a single second turning my eyes away from the pages. You've given us a special kind of asshole with DK. He DEFINES the term ALPHA MALE in every possible way. Ladies, get ready for the MEN. There will be one particular man who you are just going to LOVE to HATE! And when I say hate, I mean H A T E!

"How much do you want me to hurt you?" he asked.

God, I almost came. He knew. Knew that this was edgy, that this brought up difficult memories, but he knew I still wanted to play.

"Do you want me to tell you to stop?" I'd never tell him to stop. I was sure I'd take whatever he wanted to give me.

He lowered himself over me so that I could feel his erection, hot and hard against my pelvis. "I want you to beg me to stop."

And ladies, THIS isn't even the tip of the iceberg! There is SO MUCH HOTNESS in this book! So much so, that you will be reading certain scenes OVER and OVER again. When Laurelin Paige gives us a series...SHE GIVES US A SERIES! Scorching HOT, NSFW at all, sex scenes. EMOTION that runs deep through every single turn of the page. Page after page of swoon-worthy, assholery...yep, that's a thing. Look it up. There wasn't a page I didn't absolutely DEVOUR. There wasn't a chapter I didn't scream at. This duet...these characters...this storyline is EVERYTHING. I'm obsessed. I'm addicted. I'm over the top IN LOVE with everything about these DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN. Embrace your filthy fantasies and PICK UP this enticing and seductive romance now!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Dirty Filthy Rich Men, book 1 of 2. Sabrina is caught in a sinister cat-and-mouse game of seduction!

“His lips were frantic and frenzied against mine, as though no matter how much a gave him-- and I gave him everything-- it wasn’t enough. It could never be enough.”

Books in Dirty Duet should be read in order:
Book 0.5: Dirty Filthy Rich Boys - FREE!
Book 1: Dirty Filthy Rich Men
Book 2: Dirty Filthy Rich Love

Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, prequel (FREE!) opened up to best friends, heir, MBA student and teacher’s assistant Donovan Kincaid and heir and College freshman Weston King at Harvard together. Also attending was College freshman on a scholarship Sabrina Lind. And so a game of sex, control, jealousy and secrets was set in motion…

Dirty Filthy Rich Men, book 1 picks the game up ten years later when Sabrina travels to New York and crosses path with the now dirty filthy rich men. Driven by one man’s sinister and calculated manipulations and further complicated by his friend’s loyalty Sabrina will find herself caught between them in a devious game of seduction!

“For him, sex was not a way to connect with others. Sex was something separate. Connecting was something he didn’t do at all.”

Seven words to describe Donovan Kincaid: Aloof, devious, enigmatic, commanding, punitive, intense and ruthless.



Seven words to describe Weston King: Mysterious, easy-going, reckless, jaded, immature, charming and secretive.



Seven words to describe Sabrina Lind: Reflective, strong, naïve, confused, secretive, self-doubting and resilient.

Dirty Filthy Rich Men, told mostly from Sabrina’s POV, is a masterfully written tale of lust, secrets, lies, jealousy, betrayal and possession amplified by elements of forbidden romance and unfinished business, long ago. Though not a traditional triangle Sabrina will feel torn between the man she shouldn’t want and the one who will never be enough, as best explained in free prequel. It ends with chaos and revelations leading right to book 2, Dirty Filthy Rich Love.

All-consuming plot! Kindle-melting sex! Supreme cast! Epic upon epic!

“His eyes narrowed. “You’re so angry. It’s making me need to fuck you.”

Sabrina is a self-absorbed waffle cone with no self-esteem and zero decision making skills. And I just can’t tolerate reading another page from this woman’s perspective.

[Karen Mc · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes you have to play dirty, and oh did Laurelin Paige take me on a deliciously dirty ride with Dirty Filthy Rich Men! Dirty Filthy Rich Men dances in the darkness but leaps towards the light, a magical mix of good and evil laced with sex and sin. This romance rages, smolders, and stings from start to finish, a tingling tale felt everywhere. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a riveting roller coaster of a romance of tantalization and thrills...pure adrenaline-fueled addiction!

The outside world closed around me, ceasing to exist, as I was captive to the best Dirty Filthy Rich Men. I was tangled and twisted in every part of this thrilling tale from the start! Pulse-pounding, breath-bating, mind-mesmerizing, heart-hitting, and soul-searing, Dirty Filthy Rich Men is not just a book; it’s an entrancing, electrifying and emotionally-entwined escape into another world…MY WORLD!!! I could not get enough of this deliciously dirty romance that raced through my head, as I raced to turn the pages, where I became dirty too. Dirty Filthy Rich Men was my angst…my ache…my addiction…my ALL!!!

He was a special kind of catnip.

This romance was my catnip. Dirty Filthy Rich Boys was my dark, dirty, and delicious drug…one I did not only want but NEED. I needed this story like air to breathe, as Dirty Filthy Rich Boys became my breath, branding me.

After ten years, Sabrina Lind is reunited with the dark and devilish man who stole her body and still dances in her dreams after so much time apart. Dark-haired, green-eyed, tall, and muscular Donovan Kincaid is both sinner and saint. Deliciously dirty and super rich, Donovan is the ultimate player. I did not want to like this mysterious man, but I could not help but fall hard and fast for this bad boy…scorching HOT in every way.

“The problem is that the thing you really want to stop isn’t me, it’s how you react.”

Donovan’s dominant words possessed me, lighting a fire that burned from head to toe where I MELTED like molten lava.

Sabrina and Donovan's cat-and-mouse game was amplified, more racy and risky than ever. So THRILLING where I could not stop the surge of power from this story that permeated through me.

I had the impulse to slap him, but it was lost when his mouth crashed against mine. Then I couldn't think about anything but him—his hands, his body, his victory over me. It was such an easy surrender.

I could not help but combust from this fire-hot kiss that raked over my body as if I were floating over hot coals…so heated…so hot! The push and pull had me panting…wanting…needing more. The connection with Donovan and Sabrina was INTENSE, I felt it through my bones—a shiver through me—as their link was so strong that even if these two opposites were separated, the connection would be felt in spades.

We were a set, bound together by Cellophane. It smothered, making it hard to breathe.

A thrilling and tantalizing tale of deliciously dirty players, Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a cat-and-mouse game of epic proportions, a HIGH felt all the way to the sky! Hudson may have to make room for Laurelin Paige’s most intense alpha yet!!! Donovan delivers the dark and dirty, and I want to bathe in his delicious darkness covered in dirt!



Dirty Filthy Rich Men is intense, intoxicating, and invigorating, a rush of adrenaline and angst straight to the core! This scintillating story SEDUCED ME…everywhere. I could not help but feel every word I read and live every part of this delectable and daring adventure. I LOVED this brilliant book so hard! Dirty Filthy Rich Men blazes with fire—bleeding angst— and oh did I get BURNED in what is Laurelin Paige’s best book yet!!! I still need another hit or ten of this delicious drug.

Oh Laurelin Paige! I am so addicted to this scintillating story and series that OWNS every ounce of me! So incredibly good! I could not devour this heart-stopping sexy and strong story fast enough. The plot is powerful, the characters are combustible, and the writing is off-the-charts incredible, flowing with a heady mix of feels and fire. Laurelin Paige has brought her A-game out to play in Dirty Filthy Rich Men, a gem that is as stunning as it is dirty. Oh did I love getting dirty!

I am officially drunk in love with Laurelin Paige’s newest release Dirty Filthy Rich Men. If I thought I couldn’t get more obsessed with Donovan Kincaid in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, then I am here to tell you that my obsession and addiction with him has hit an all time high. And I can thank Laurelin Paige for that. Seriously, Laurelin has that magic touch. Her words are like silk. It's seductive, intriguing, and enticing. She lures you in with her visceral prose and complex characters.

And now he was pulling me back to that time and place, making my mind face the past, forcing memories and fantasies to merge together in a nonstop reel of filth.”



Dirty Filthy Rich Men introduces readers to TWO MEN. Yes, two equally delicious, handsome, powerful, dirty, filthy, rich men: Weston King and Donovan Kincaid. Right away, readers will have a fan favorite. He is the one that you want to LOVE and HATE but if we are truly being honest, he is the alpha man that you secretly desire and crave for.

But it was never what he wore or how recently he’d trimmed that made him sexy. It was how he stood, how he moved. Like he owned every inch of space that he took up. Like he deserved to own it. It was how he looked at me. Like he owned me. Like he deserved to own me.”

Sabrina Lind has a past with these two men. Weston was her college crush. Her ideal man. Donovan, on the other hand, was the man that she desired and craved for. He was her dirty secret and fantasy wrapped up into one. So when, Donovan broke her heart in her freshman year of college, she never intended to see him again. Well never say never, because fast forward to ten years later, Sabrina finds herself reuniting with her dirty filthy rich men.



So when Sabrina moves to New York City to start her new job, she is reunited with Weston King, her new boss. Well, one of them since Donovan Kincaid is also her boss as well. Working with Weston should be no problem, since he was sweet, gentle, and kind to her. She could easily be Weston’s new girlfriend, but Donovan’s presence was hard to resist. A burning fire of need ignited something inside her. It awakened the sleeping dragon whose flames was an inferno of dirty, filthy, and sexy fantasies. Fantasies that are not the norm. Rape fantasies.

Donovan Kincaid is an enigma. He is hot then cold. He is sweet then mean. He is a man that keeps to himself. His feelings are kept under lock and key but it seems Sabrina is someone who has the power to unlock his guarded heart but will Donovan let her?

I wanted to run. I wanted to stay. I needed escape, but I needed him too— with every part of me, I needed him. Needed him to fill me and fuck me and bend me and break me, and, oh god, it was going to hurt when he did. ”

The push and pull connection brewing between Sabrina and Donovan is intense and that is putting it mildly. Honestly, there are no words to describe their connection. They just fit together as they both satisfy their wants, needs, cravings, and desires. With Sabrina’s need for dirty, filthy sex and Donovan’s fulfillment of her fantasies, they both found someone who made them feel alive. Their obsession for each other runs so deep and so when Sabrina thought she finally had Donovan all to herself, he once again finds a way to tarnish and ruin their connection. Will Sabrina finally find the reason behind Donovan’s need to push her away into the arms of Weston?



Laurelin Paige has delivered one of my favorite reads of 2017. This book was everything that I wanted, craved and needed. The writing was flawless. The execution of the story line was on point as it had me on the edge of my seat as I waited for that moment when Laurelin Paige would drop that bombshell of drama and angst. I loved how the characters of this book were introduced. They were raw, honest, and vulnerable. Laurelin allowed readers to see their flaws and beauty. Nothing was hidden to the reader. You either loved them or hated them. And let me just say, I did not hate anyone because I embraced Donovan Kincaid and Sabrina Lind’s complicated connection. Yes, their love story is not the norm but what love story is. It just happened that Donovan and Sabrina share a certain kind of sexual kink that works for them. An understanding and passion that they both can only explain. A love that is dirty, filthy and raw.

Donovan Kincaid. So many things I wanted to know and yet didn’t need to know. And if I knew them, would I lose the attraction? Knowledge banished fear. If I understood him, would I lose the fear that drew me to him in the first place? I already knew the answer, and it was almost as frightening to face as the question. Because in between the banal thoughts, others wove in, more vague in form and heavier in weight. Thoughts like how the things I felt sitting next to this man right now were wider and deeper than lust and desire. They didn’t stop at what we’d already shared—the dirty sex, the filthy fantasies. They moved further into other realms. ”

So if you are looking for a story that will have you consumed and begging for more, trust me when I tell you that YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. Yes, shouty bold caps are needed because this book was dirty, filthy, sinful and wildly intoxicating.

➦I just want to start out this review by saying that this book is definitely not for everyone. For those who can't tolerate anything about rape fantasies - stay away, I suppose. Not gonna go into a discussion about morality - you decide if fantasizing about rape is morally acceptable for YOU. And this is fiction. So there's that.


➦'Dirty Filthy Rich Men' actually managed to somewhat surprise me. Donovan... This alpha male hero is amazingly refreshing. He'll leave you drooling and begging for more. He is both IN and OUT of control. He's a pushy douchebag, so I think I'll award a couple of these


➦But god damn, he's sexy. First of all, a suit... my weakness... But he's also mysterious, a bit tortured and all kinds of forceful in bed. The latter, of course, really floats this heroine's boat. To each their own, and all that jazz.

➦I suppose you could say that this heroine is a bit of a pushover. But then if a version of this came up to me

(yes, I know this picture has been used a million times lol but I lurve it.)

SO yeah, as I was saying.... if this specimen came up to me and twisted my nipple (literally)... I'D BE A GONER TOO.

#soweak

But that's if I were in this heroine's shoes. lol

But anyhow, her weakness for Donovan didn't bother me.

➦I sympathized with her, actually. At first, she wanted the sex because she couldn't get that kind of sex from anyone else. But after a while, of course, she couldn't help but get attached.


➦Totally would, I just don't want to spoil the story for you :) So read it if you like hot, dominating, and tortured alpha asshole heros who wear a suit 24/7 and like it rough in bed . Or read it because you like fantastic writing, which Laurelin paige, no doubt, delivers here. Or... or read it because of the cover. Because, seriously...


Note: This is a first installment of the duet so there's a bit of a cliffy at the end. No worries, it won't make you want to rip your hair out. Unless you're a really really impatient person. :)

[TheCrazyWorldOfABookLover · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dirty Filthy Rich Men picks up ten years later from where Dirty Filthy Rich Boys leaves off. Sabrina is an ad exec, and comes across Weston and Donovan, the boys men who she has spent the last few years thinking of, once again. Her long ago crush on Weston is still lingering, though she is still infatuated with Donovan even with the dirty way they left things off.

In this installment, I was indifferent to Weston. Sabrina is a heroine I had a hard time connecting to. She was self-absorbed and indecisive. And Donovan's whole "whenever I show interest I have to negate it with being an asshole" bit got old real quick.

My biggest issue with this book is there is essentially no story line.

For about 60% of the book, nothing else happens other than the back and forth thoughts of Sabrina on whether she wants Weston or Donovan.

Her thoughts were basically comprised of:

I want Weston. He's a nice guy.
No. Weston will never be enough.
I want Donovan. I like how dark and depraved he is.
Never mind. He's an asshole.
Fuck Donovan.
Fuck Donovan.
Actually, I do want to fuck Donovan.
Maybe I like Weston?
No, I want Donovan.
FUCK DONOVAN.
*REPEAT!!*



And when I say LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS , I am not exaggerating ONE. BIT. My boredom with this was just intensified since the book is told mainly in Sabrina's POV. I got whiplash from her changing feelings and was extremely annoyed with her constant complaining and repetitive thoughts.

This book just didn't do it for me. If you're into stories with absolutely no plot and mostly just sex after the 65% mark, this will most definitely be entertaining (well, if you don't mind the many clichés thrown in here, that is). But with little else going on for majority of this story, this was a chore for me to get through. I realize LP is a big author. I realize this was a coveted book. But I cannot lie and pretend that this story involved anything more than overused tropes with barely likable characters and a nonexistent story line.

Ah well, I'll always have Hudson, right?

What did I just READ?!? Lord almighty....I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite book from Laurelin Paige! If I could rate it 10 stars, I wouldn't hesitate. BEYOND AMAZING!!!

Dirty Filthy Rich Men was everything I've come to expect from Laurelin's books, but I'm still constantly wow'd with her story lines and phenomenal writing!

I love the fact this book is based on the amazing movie, Sabrina. But this story is dirtier, filthier, and so much more powerful and emotional! If you've seen the movie, then you'll know the base premise of what the book is about. But what you don't expect or know will happen is the deep emotional ties the characters have with each other. The character's undeniable magnetism smolders with heat; raw and carnal desires consume them with need.

The prequel, Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, is a great jump off point to understanding each character. From there you have Sabrina, the shy and young introvert with a mad infatuation with Weston. Weston, the lively and carefree playboy, with enough charm to seduce a nun, completely counters the dark, rugged, and brooding Donovan. Each one of them has their own backstory, and their relationships intertwine with one another throughout the entire book. They each grow into the strong woman and men they are because of what they've experienced leading up to now.

But the true enigma of the story is Donovan - it's a complete mystery as to what made him the man he is now. You learn small bits of information, but nothing will prepare you for the shock of what actually happens, or the heartbreaking realization that a HEA may not be in the cards for him in the end.

Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a captivating page-turner that will make you burn from the inside out. This book immerses the reader into the world of secrets, lies, passion, and torment. Laurelin's writing is truly unparalleled! Her unique ability at storytelling is a testament to her legitimate status as an incredible author.

Without a doubt, a top-ten must read of 2017! 5+ Stars!

Laurelin Paige continues to blow me away with this series! I cannot get enough of this twisted, angsty love story. If I thought that 'Dirty Filthy Rich Boys' was addicting, I hadn't seen anything yet!

The first full-length book in the 'Dirty Duet' series, 'Dirty Filthy Rich Men' was every bit as captivating as 'Dirty Filthy Rich Boys'. I love this story and the constant push and pull between the characters. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next.

Donovan, in particular, has my rapt attention. He is certainly one of the most contradictory heroes that I've ever encountered. He is aloof, possessive and completely confusing. Naturally, I cannot get enough! I am appalled by some of his harsh and inconsiderate behaviors. I want to hate him, but I can't. Like Sabrina, I am under his spell.

Weston also comes to life in this book. While 'Dirty Filthy Rich Boys' predominantly featured Sabrina's fantasy version of who Weston was, this book introduces readers to the real Weston. Despite some less than flattering behaviors, I have to say that I really liked Weston. After all, he never pretended to be something that he wasn't. Underneath his manwhore ways, he ends up being a pretty decent guy.

Sabrina has certainly got her hands full with both of these dirty, filthy, rich men in this book. My head was spinning at times. Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I was glued to the pages of this book.

If you love angsty, emotionally charged love stories, then you don't want to pass this one up. I am hooked on this story! There are plenty of surprising twists and turns along the way that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Not to mention, it is hot, hot, hot! Days later, I'm still thinking about these characters and where this story might lead. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

As an aside, 'Dirty Filthy Rich Boys' is included as the prologue in this book. So, if you haven't already read it separately, you'll get the backstory with this one also. However, if you're not sure if you want to pay for the full-length book yet, it is offered for free and you can get a feel for the story.

3.5 STARS



Laurelin Paige delivers one hell of a frustrating novel in the continuation of Sabrina Lind’s story and interactions now ten years since her Harvard experience with Weston King and Donovan Kincaid. I’ve got to be honest it’s a hair pulling, head banging, levels of frustration I experienced. All the way until the last chapter in which the author does add enough umph to this nonstop cycle of mixed signals, harsh treatment by Donovan, that this reader would have bailed on him well before the middle of the book. Yet Sabrina seems to be unable to resist his sexual charms even in the eye of his never ending callousness.

”He was confusing and cruel, and he was also right – I should be with Weston. Weston was safe and nice and decent.”



This was the story as Donovan gets Sabrina in some sort of sexual experience then he bails with all sorts of cruel and confusing words.

”Oh my god,” I gasped. “Do it again.” “No,” he said, pulling his hand from the cup of my bra and moving it lower to play with my bra and moving it lower to play with my belt sash. He was an asshole even now. It was such a turn-on.”



Did I love Donovan’s character? Nope, but it was the heroine who I didn’t like most of all. I lost respect for her and her loop of never ending acceptance of Donovan’s behavior.



However, and this is a BIG however, the author does gift a reader insight into Donovan’s actions and this reader actually is interested to see how the next book plays out.

Laurelin Paige has done it again, she's left me speechless. Her writing and her books are in a league of their own. Honestly, I am in awe of her talent, her stories. The way this author pulls me in time and time again... it's phenomenal. Dirty Filthy Rich Men was a little dark, a lot wicked, and completely intoxicating. I was in it from the first to the last page. COMPLETELY hooked. God, I am so overwhelmed and hooked by every word in this book. I cannot wait for more. 10 stars.

Oh Laurelin Paige, how I dream of being next to you as you write your phenomenal stories and read every scene as you write it. You are the queen of angst and always leave my heart pounding a million beats per minute. I expected nothing less than perfection when I started Dirty Filthy Rich Men but I have to say I was still surprised at the enchanting story you tell, the characters that I screamed at, cried for, swooned over from the very first page. Your words always have a way of sucking me in so deeply, gripping onto my heart until I reach the final page...then you do what you are best at. You shatter me and obliterate my heart!!!! But I know soon you will write those beautiful words to put all the pieces of my heart back together and I will patiently (impatiently) wait for more of your words to mend me.

Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a beautiful journey of a girl that finds herself, a once shy and insecure girl grows up to be a strong independent woman that is feisty and hard working. Until that chance meeting she never expected of the one man that make her fall to her knees. There are 2 wickedly hot men vying for Sabrina's attention but who will be the lucky man to sweep her off her feet? Weston and Donovan are best friends and business partners. Will this interfere with their friendship? They are both the sexiest men Sabrina has ever laid her eyes on in completely different ways. Donovan is dangerous, powerful and so deliciously wicked!!! Get ready for a hell of a ride because this is one story to leave you on the very edge of your seat! You will scream and curse when you reach the very last page and realize...oh shit, there has to be more… I need more… WHAT?!?!?! Please, oh please Ms. Paige, don't make us wait until August for more. That's just too far away. The chemistry is sizzling hot in this scorching sexy read! Ms. Paige never disappoints. 5 addicting and sizzling stars for another brilliant story!!!!

[The Sassy Bookworm · Rating 3 out of 5]

This cover is totally lickable! It's a good representation of the story. Has good compostion and nice typography.

UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT

I think I am going to be that person that stands over in the corner that no one wants to talk to over this one. It was just OK for me. Honestly, these supposed "adults" acted more like children with the constant back and forth. Mean jabs and attempts at making each other jealous.



Donovan was an asshole through the whole book. I don't mind a good asshole hero, but you need to give me at least some glimpses of a human with feelings so I can connect with him. I never got that in this book. He was just a constant ass which just ended up making Sabrina look like a doormat for putting up with it. The whole book went something liked this...Donovan being an asshole...Sabrina being a doormat...SEX...Donovan being an asshole...Sabrina being a doormat...SEX...rinse and repeat.

Those issues aside I will say the writing was fantastic. It was nicely paced, and the sex scenes were smokin'. So as of right now, I am on the fence on whether I want to bother with the second book or not. The last chapter made me kind of curious to see where this goes but I am not sure I am up to a whole other book of Sabrina chasing Donovan and him pushing her away. We will see how I feel when it comes out.

And in every way that it was vile and wrong, I loved it. In every way that it meant I was sick and shameful, I embraced it.

Sweet. Baby. Jesus.
I don't know whether to rip my hair out of my head, get a brace for the emotional whiplash I just endured, or get my head examined. I can't want to strangle both of the main characters 85% of the time and still root for them...can I? I'm not even kidding here, people. I wanted to drop kick the hero for the majority of the book. Not in the balls though. He put those to good use. But I digress. I also wanted to shake the heroine for hope that she'll see reason. My head hurt. My eye was ticking. I wanted to chuck my kindle at the wall. And yet, I couldn't stop reading it. I just couldn't. This story was a delicious hot mess, and I was like an addict, hoping for another morsel. What is wrong with me? The answer is quite simple here, because such is the mastery of Laurelin Paige. She can take a story with two entirely depraved and messed up individuals. She can make them go through hell and back and put each other through even more. She can make you rage, scream in frustration, and keep you glued to the pages because you're that riveted.

Fuck you,” I spat. I didn’t know how I was so certain that he knew this was a game, but I was. Just as I was certain that he knew that part of it was real too.
“Don’t worry, you will.”

Enemies to lovers fans, meet your catnip. It doesn't get more intoxicating and enraging as Donovan Kincaid. The man is cold, ruthless, domineering and magnetic. He's an asshole of the highest order. And we all know that happens to be my catnip.

Dirty Filthy Rich Men is told in two parts; the first retelling the first time Donovan and Sabrina crossed paths. Sabrina as a young and naive seventeen year old at Harvard with a crush on Weston, the cute playboy that doesn't seem to notice her. Donovan as the brooding and mysterious teacher's aid and Weston's friend. They share something the changes the course of Sabrina's life and even though ten years have now passed since that day, she still can't seem to forget.

She's grown up now. A professional in her own right and still questioning her sexuality and the unnerving urges that she still can't seem to get over. A chance encounter with an old crush leads her right into the cross hairs of the man that not only stirs her blood, but makes it boil.

His eyes glinted in the dimly lit stairway, like an animal. Like all he could see was this target, this prize that wasn’t a being or a person at all but just a thing to dominate and fuck.

If you're thinking this is a love triangle, fear not. There's not even a question of who Sabrina has true chemistry with. Too bad that person also happens to play the kind of mind games that will make even your head spin. These two are antagonistic and downright messed up together, yet the chemistry between them is so strong, it practically crackles.

I can't tell you that I loved every page, because there were times that Donovan's constant back and forth and hot and cold drove me out of my ever loving mind. And yet, I still couldn't stop panting after him.

Laurelin Paige is the queen of skating that fine edge of depravity and chemistry. This is not your run of the mill romance. It's interspersed with just the perfect touch of dark desire to whet your appetite. It's darkly erotic. It's captivating and magnetic. It was mind blowing enraging and panty melting hot. If you happen to enjoy dub con, you've found your next read. Just make sure to have some Xanax on hand, because OMG. Just OMG.

5 filthy stars

“Every second I stood before him it got harder and harder to remember why I existed if not for him.”

OH MY GOD! Where do I even begin with this review? Dirty Filthy Rich Men has literally left me speechless . I can't thank Laurelin Paige enough for delivering one of my favourite reads of 2017. This book was everything I wanted it to be and so much more. Laurelin's writing is flawless and so oh so addictive. I can now say that this is hands down my favourite book of hers. (no exaggeration here, I promise).





The story picks up ten years later from where Dirty Filthy Rich Boys leaves off. If you haven't read the novella, it's included in the book. I'm not going to dive too deep into the storyline simply because I really want you to experience this beautiful, brilliant, sexy, addictive story yourself. However, one thing I can say is that I felt so many FEELS. We are introduced to Sabrina Lind and Donovan Kincaid (siiiiiigh). Remember this name ladies because he is the absolute definition of an ALPHA asshole.

“I had the impulse to slap him, but it was lost when his mouth crashed against mine. Then I couldn't think about anything but him—his hands, his body, his victory over me. It was such an easy surrender.”

Donovan Kincaid is hot, mysterious, tortured, dominating and possessive . Yes, there were times where I hated him but at the end, you can't help but LOVE him. There are honestly no words to describe the deep connection and chemistry between Sabrina and Donovan . They just fit so perfectly together. Their relationship is intense, explosive and addictive as fuck. I honestly couldn't get enough of them.





Overall, Dirty Filthy Rich Men is sexy, captivating, frustrating, and emotional. This book will consume you and leave you begging for MORE. The wait until Dirty Filthy Rich Love is going to be t.o.r.t.u.r.e....
Until then, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this book! Trust me, you HAVE to read this bad boy. Mrs Paige, you have, once again, done a brilliant job!

“He tortured me completely all the time without even being in the same room with me, and he didn’t know it.”

[Bibi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Spoilers, maybe.

The biggest issue I had with this book was that it was told from Sabrina's perspective. That woman needed a huge dose of self-love.

Had we gotten another POV, this would have been a superb read; instead, we're treated to Sabrina's illogical and conflicting thought process. Also, could someone please explain why most book heroines always have just that one friend?

Then, I had tons of questions, such as:

Why was she 17 years old- while at Harvard- when her character could easily have been written as an adult?

Why didn't Sabrina get psychiatric help after the near-rape incident? Yes, she was a student with no money but rape crisis centers offer free counseling.

What are the odds that ALL 3 of them would end up working in the same industry?

Why would she jeopardize everything she'd worked for by sleeping with her boss? Why?

Sigh, I don't know.

I guess I liked it well enough but it could have been a whole lot smarter.

[Kindle Crack Book Reviews Cheri · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just finished Dirty Filthy Rich Men by Laurelin Paige. Good lord, I need a drink and the next book, Dirty Filthy Rich Love. This crazy, hot and dysfunctional romance was equally addicting and frustrating. I wanted to pummel both Donovan and Sabrina with their own emotional baggage.

“But it wasn’t that easy. It was thread upon thread of complicated, so many strands between us that wove us together. Even when he’d first taken my virginity, back when I’d been naïve and innocent, I knew that his broken fit my broken.”

Donovan’s uneven and detached behavior made me dislike him until the final chapter. My head is spinning from the mind blowing ending to this book. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is total Kindle Crack and not to be missed.

So Donovan...we meet again...

The last time I saw you, you were just a cruel dirty filthy rich boy that was torturing Sabrina:

“I’m sure it’s not why you did that.” He was more in control of himself now. He shut the laptop and finally met my eyes. “But now you’ll have a chance with Weston King, won’t you?”

You were just a dirty filthy rich boy who was trying to avoid Sabrina unsuccessfully:

“I didn’t want to notice you,” he said so quietly it was almost a whisper. “And now I don’t know how not to.”
Another cryptic Donovan statement, but this one made my chest feel warm and stretched. “Then notice me,” I said.
He considered me a moment longer. Then stepped away, pulling out of me. “I can’t.”

10 years later in the story, I was wondering if anything has changed now that you are a dirty filthy rich man:

I stared at him incredulously for half a beat. None of this was serious to him. This was just like college when he fucked with my grades for his own amusement.
“You goddamn asshole, Donovan”

Nope…Nothing has changed.

Okay, I have to be honest here. I was expecting a tear-jerking story, full of desperation, angst, fist fighting between two best friends for the same woman, yelling, swearing, doors closing shut loudly, crying.
You know, the usual drama in this kind of stories:
She is mine, No she is mine, No I slept with her first, No I sleep with her now, No I love her, No I love her more, Let her decide, No she cannot decide and I will decide for her etc.

INSTEAD,
I got a playful, almost naughty story. Nobody cheats anyone really. The situation is almost clear from the beginning.

And this is actually just a game between consenting adults – until it appears that one of them is just a lunatic who needs a shrink really fast (...although this is the story that I expect to find in the next book “Dirty Filthy Rich Love”).

I smiled a lot when I was reading the book and I had a great time. The story has a “Sex and the City” feeling. Especially with the way Sabrina is trying to understand and fulfill her sexual fantasies.

Sabrina has rape fantasies that only Donovan can understand and help her understand them. The sex scenes are hot, but I think they are not too extreme. I have read worse and more intense. I think the sex scenes are just balanced.

What else? I loved that Hudson Pierce appeared in the background. Thanks Laurelin! You made me smile ;)

[Kristina at For The Love Of Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my freaking goodness. I knew going into Filthy Dirty Rich Men I was going to love this book so hard especially after starting with the novella. I was so excited about Filthy Dirty Rich Boys that I started stalking Laurelin Paige on Facebook needing to find out when I could get my next fix. So when FDRM landed on my kindle I jumped right in. I stayed up late in the night-actually the morning like 5AM, could not put this book down. I loved every filthy dirty second of each and every page. This book I swear didn't not have a slow point ever. It was nonstop action either hot sexiness or cocky a$$hole moments but one things for sure it kept me completely engaged all the way to the very end.

This story will keep you on the verge of either wanting to throat punch Donovan or want to smile at his dirty and bossy talk. He's definitely a huge jerk that will make you want to rip your hair out! Now Sabrina had some issues of her own. She started out obsessed with one man but soon her obsession quickly moves to the dark and scary Donovan. With this new addiction comes her issues. She can't say no to him. So many times I wanted to yell at her to leave him or run the other direction. Every time she fell for his darkness.

This story is my new favorite book from Laurelin Paige. I was a huge fan of the Fixed series but this one surpassed it by far!!!! It's well written and is amazingly addictive these rich men and their wicked ways. OMG I'm so excited for the conclusion. Bring it on! I need it ASAP! I highly recommend this book. I was given this ARC for my honest opinion.

"I could have anyone's mouth on me," he said, his breaths short. "Any woman I want. Money can buy the prettiest lips, the most famous mouths, the deepest throats. And still, for ten years, all I can think about is your mouth. It's only yours I want. Why can't I get over your goddamn lips?"



Donovan Kincaid.

I loved and I also hated everything about this man. He’s a cold son of a bitch and he’s definitely not an easy man to love. He doesn’t want to get close with you, he’s doing everything in his power to push you away from himself. But also one moment he’s all over Sabrina and another minute he’s acting like a ice cube to her but still you can’t stop your mind to wonder why is he acting this way? And if you’ve read the Dirty Filthy Rich Boys you already knew his secret about what he lived in his past but wait until you read this book. When you learn his truth, you’ll begin to understand him better and after that you’ll begin to like him or even maybe just like me, you’ll fall in love with him. <3

Ps. And I need 2nd book right now, uhh that end of the book literally left me hanging on my chair. Dammit! :-/

Attention: If you’re not okay with rough sex & domination and *rape fantasy*, please stay away from this book…

Step inside the world of The DirtyFilthy Rich Men, you may never want to come out. All I know is I want one all for myself!!

Laurelin Page takes into the lives of these men—hot, intriguing, dirty, filthy sexual encounters—you'll be forced to read sitting under the a/c vent!

Donovan Kincaid. Weston King. How's a girl to choose?!! Poor, beautiful Sabrina. She's brought into the elite club. Working under these two men as at Reach, Inc. I mean, God, I love teaching, but I'm thinking of a career change.

Sabrina falls under Donovan's spell, and it's pure magic.

"Why do you do this to me?" I whispered.
His lips hovered above mine. Dancing. Teasing. "Do What?"
"Trap me like this."
"It makes me feel like I have you."
I ached at my core. "I don't want you to feel like you have me."
"Are you sure of that?"

The push and pull, the chemistry is off the charts and the writing was great.

So about Donovan:
Hot✔️
Domineering ✔️
Sinful✔️
Brooding✔️
Great with his hands✔️
Panty-melting✔️
Captivating ✔️
Irresistible ✔️
Seductive ✔️

The list goes on and on. Everything you want in a book boyfriend and more!!
"Do you get yourself off when you have these dirty thoughts?"
"Yes." I pressed my thighs together, seeking relief. I was so turned on.
"Show me."
"Show you?"
"Yes... and tell me. Tell me what I do to you in your imagination. Show me and tell me. Show and tell."

Sabrina is filled with insecurities and fear, never being enough. Donovan doesn't fall in love, only sex. Complete opposites in every way, yet when they connect on a sexual level, it's explosive.
Really hot story!

[TJ *Book Twins Reviews* · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full Disclosure: I absolutely love the movie Sabrina (1995). It’s one of those movies I’ll watch whenever I happen across it on TV. Sabrina Fairchild is one of my favorite heroines and Linus Larabie is a fantastic unwitting hero. I’ve never watched the 1954 version, but I’m sure it’s great as well. With that said, this IS NOT your grandmother’s Sabrina!! Laurelin Paige certainly ups the ante with this loosely based story of love, power, money, and intrigue! And she does not disappoint. What do you say when one of your favorite authors writes a book based on one of your favorite movies? :



Here's the breakdown: Dirty Filthy Rich Men picks up 10 years after the end of DFRB. Sabrina had landed a great job, but runs in Weston at a conference he’s keynoting. They meet up afterward and the chemistry is still undeniable. Soon after, he offers her a job at his firm. After accepting the job and moving across the country, Sabrina finds herself not only navigating a new job and city but two men. She’s right back in the middle of Weston and Donovan. What on earth will she do?
Here’s what I absolutely loved: Donovan is my new favorite anti-hero. He’s the bad-boy every woman wishes they could tame. You know the guy, the one who’s so handsome, edgy, and raw that you can’t help but be swept up in his wake. While you’re there, you pray you can get in just enough to thaw his ice cold heart. Well ladies, that’s Donovan. Smoking hot, all alpha, suit-wearing, cocky Donovan.





I’m a sucker for pain, so he did it for me in a very big way!

As I stated above, I loved Sabrina (the movie; the character is okay too). The parallels are noticeable, but this book is COMPLETELY different. It’s taken a classic and revamped it to fit a post FSOG world of romance. The edgy characters and sexual exploration is real, raw, and emotional.



I enjoyed learning more about Donovan and the reasoning behind his calculated actions. Every alpha-hole has a unique backstory and Donovan’s is one of the most intriguing I’ve read.

The writing is unparalleled, as always with Laurelin Paige. I swear, I sat and stared or reread paragraphs or dialogue simply because I was amazed by it. Kudos, LP! Well done, indeed.

In the hopes of not sounding like a total psycho, my ultimate BBF Hudson Pierce makes a very, super duper, brief almost appearance. He always gets me going, so any mentions of Huds and the Sky Launch are appreciated. Yes, I know he’s a fictional character, but he’s still mine! LOL

Overall, this book is exceptional. It’s dramatic, captivating, riveting, and downright sinful. If alpha-holes are your thing, it doesn’t get much better than this. I enjoyed DFRM immensely, but caution this book may not be for everyone. The hero is not your typical romance hero and neither is the heroine. Their relationship isn’t either, so if you have triggers be mindful of that.




I rate it: 4.5 Stars

4 Getting to the Essence of Why Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free-Best Romance Semifinal Round 2017
Earlier this year, Laurelin Paige did what any savvy author would do when they had a unique, deeply dark idea for a book duo.
She created a teaser...Oh, not just any teaser, mind you...She did the Prequel type... which can really make or break an upcoming project. The prequel was right on the money...and created all of the intensity, edginess, longing, and curiosity desired. I bought into it Hook, Line, and Sinker...

After successfully accomplishing her goal, Ms. Paige then went and finished her first part of her duo. She took the free teaser mentioned and used it as Part One of this book. For those who had read the teaser, this book then starts at Part Two.

What struck me throughout all of my read was the understanding of how telling pivotal moments and impressions are in all our lives. How so many factors come into play...Status, Power, Group Peer Pressure and Society's Dictates as to what is Acceptable, Normal, etc. in everything we do.

Quickly, to bring you up to speed, the main players in this book are Donovan Kincaid, Weston King, and Sabrina Lind. Donovan is best friends with Weston. They both come from the type of money that runs political parties and the world. Donovan is a bit older than Weston and was the Teacher's Assistant in a class both Weston and Sabrina shared.

Sabrina is the "scholarship girl" at Harvard. No connections, no pull, deep insecurity about all things social but on the flip side extremely smart and resourceful. She, unfortunately, has a fascination,...a crush on Weston... Harvard's fraternity playboy. She is so taken with him, she goes to the weekly beer parties at the frat, stands in the corner and watches as he woos a different coed to walk the stairs... and hook up with him.

At one of these gatherings, Sabrina finds herself in the restricted upper level watching the shadows of Weston and his latest conquest...Excited, stimulated, scared and shocked...she is called out by a voice across the hall...Donovan.

Donovan is not light, flirty or charming like Weston....no, he is dark, brooding and manipulative. He uses all of his sense of power and skill in this exchange...causing confusion and discomfort in Sabrina. He picks at her psyche, knowing of her crush on Weston... filling her head with ideas of what he likes and what he will and won't do...Sabrina, shocked by her mental and physical reaction to some of the things Donovan implied, races out the door and then out of the fraternity house...

It is dark, cold and not where she wants to be but she also doesn't want to go back into the house while she waits for transportation. Sabrina's head is clouded when another of the Frat guys comes out...At first, she thinks nothing of it...but later as he becomes more aggressive and pushy, her fight or flight instincts kick in... only spurring on his drunken groping and forceful grabs. Things become dire when Donovan appears and takes matters into his own hands...

The assault is stopped before the end result.... but the damage has been done to Sabrina...violation to her physical and mental person has happened and nothing will ever take it away. The presence and threat of what Donovan will do to her molester makes the boy leave. Donovan is still distant and cold while asking her if she is satisfied with how he ended this situation. There is an undercurrent between these two and Sabrina is confused, hurt, traumatized and in the end... alone.

What happens next is everything...Donovan uses his power to cause a confrontation between him and Sabrina...it starts off angry as he has once again manipulated her by giving her a low grade...She has to address this as her grades are all she has...her only way to achieve the goals she has set for herself. This confrontation percolates into something more than words and becomes everything Donovan wants and everything Sabrina is afraid to acknowledge wanting...

It is harsh, hot, overpowering, stimulating, surprising and in the end something, both Donovan and Sabrina will be marked with for the rest of their lives.

She....being drawn deeply to a type of sexual encounter classified in her mind as dirty, filthy, rough and oh so bad.... and never going after any other man who would behave that way...but in her dreams, it will always be Donovan... Yet in her actual life... it will be men who make no real impression and are classified as good.

And Donovan...he will remain the manipulator... the watcher, the one who will have women for a release if he so pleases....but never will be involved.

In part two... These three people cross paths again...each still in the same status position although Sabrina has become an accomplished professional in the marketing industry. She has had her successes at her level and made a friendship or two with co-workers. She is at a seminar with her friend where Weston is the main attraction. He and Donovan opened their own Marketing company and it has become the powerhouse of the industry. With the backing of their own personal monies and others from their Harvard days, they have risen to the level of Global players.

With the urging of her friend and co-worker, they are in line to give their respects to Weston after his presentation. Sabrina isn't even sure he will remember her...they did have a quick, very brief encounter where he Finally looked at her and asked her out. Life tore that chance away with her family falling apart and her having to leave Harvard immediately.

We take in this encounter of a man, charming... use to others flattery and giving back the standard responses. The co-worker opens the dialogue praising the accomplishments of Weston's Company and then sees Sabrina is not going to acknowledge her knowing Weston from school. Before Sabrina can do anything, it is out there... that Weston should remember Sabrina... going to Harvard together and all...

Weston takes another glance and then really sees Sabrina... He insists she and her friend wait... and there we are.... on our road to what is to come...

We will have the flirtation of what could have been for both... Sabrina and Weston...actions to work out that itch and then the request for Sabrina to work at Weston and Donovan's Company.

The first request is turned down...it seems cloaked in more than just what Sabrina's Professional Marketing skills are...she seems to have worked out that need for Weston and goes on with her life...as it is.

But with the second request coming from Weston many months later...it seems too good to turn down. It has her in the same position but in a much larger company, so it is a move up, full monetary benefits impossible to ignore and Donovan will not be in NYC because he heads up one of the overseas locations. There is also the wonder of whether Weston is still wanting something more than just what they shared over that weekend.

I really do not think I will shock you when you learn Donovan is a player in this book...The essence of Donovan the Cold, Manipulator... the Dominant Puppet Master.... the true fantasy Sabrina has been harboring all these 10 years....is the Hub of this book. Everything seems to branch out from him... and how Sabrina responds to his actions.

That is not to entirely say Sabrina is weak...or not self-assured...But this is a woman who has fought desires and needs from imprinting of sorts from a horrible experience and turned them into something attached to Donovan and her feelings for him. She lusts after him but at the same time tries to stop herself. As confident and capable she is in her work, she is also conflicted with how she sees who she is and what she actually wants.

All three of these players are not as easy to classify...They act in ways which could cause you to dislike or even be repelled...It is kind of a roller coaster of manipulative gamesmanship, emotional turmoil from more than just Sabrina and a question of what is to come...

Laurelin Paige did not write a touchy-feely love story... she has written something very complex; something which will either cause the reader to want to continue... or something which may touch off distaste in the cruelty shown...or any number of other reactions...But all of them will be based on an intriguing concept and strong writing...

It will be interesting to see where she takes this...Dirty Filthy Rich Love (Dirty Duet #2) will be released September 11th 2017.

Dear fellow readers,

If you are looking for a 'boy meets girl and, after series of conventional dates, they fall in love, have sex in a missionary position with the lights on and live happily ever after' story, stop right here because this isn't it. If you are, however, in the market for a story that is all kinds of erotic and taboo then read on ...



When this pre-order popped up on my Kindle Tuesday morning, the timing was perfect because I was in the mood for something dirty and twisted and what better way to satisfy a craving like that than dive with both feet into a book titled 'DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN'? For those of you familiar with Laurelin's work, you know that in order to enjoy her offerings, one must have a very open mind. You also must be willing NOT to over-analyze fiction. If you are willing to do both, please read on ...



In Part I/Prologue of this book (available for FREE right here: DIRTY FILTHY RICH BOYS ) we are introduced to a trio of main characters, Sabrina, Donovan and Weston. If you think this is going to be a love triangle, don't. Because, once again, if you are familiar with this author's work, you know she doesn't just offer her readers a love triangle ... because what fun would that be?? Instead, she serves you a relationship between three people that is complex with a dash of taboo and a side dish of kinky.



The thing about this story is that none of these three people should be liked, felt sorry for or have anyone rooting for them but you find yourself doing all three at some point in the book. This, to me, is a sign of a great storytelling. At times I was right there, with Sabrina, wondering if there was something wrong with me. But, at the end of the day, if enjoying this kind of story is wrong then I don't want to be right.

Bottom line ... if you are looking for a story that is erotic without being 'in your face' kind of raunchy, a story full of mind games, secrets, jealousy and kink, a story told via Paige's signature awesome writing, then pick up this book and see for yourself why it earned a title like that and why it is so appropriate.

P.S. If you are the type of reader that hates cliffhangers, fear not. This book doesn't end on a life-altering one, however, you are left wanting more ...

I honestly don't know what to say about this book because my own emotions are so all over the place about it. Even after a full day thinking about it, I just don't know.

On one hand, I really liked the sexual chemistry that these characters had. I was in a constant state of wonderment about what was going to happen between who, and I couldn't always figure it out. I love that type mystery thrown into a book, and i enjoyed reading about it in this one.

But on the other hand, that's all it was; sexual chemistry. I didn't see any real connection between these characters and it was something I kept looking for. Instead it seemed like the only thing we got was an asshole Hero who couldn't articulate their feelings.

Overall I was left wanting more from this book but I'm not giving up on these characters. I still have really strong hopes for the next part and I think it will go a lot better for me.

[Carol (bookish_notes) · Rating 1 out of 5]

I just want to express that my deepest regret is that I even read this book. It's not like the prequel novella, Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, wasn't without its problems. I wanted that book to be a fluke and for this book to be better. But alas, this book truly is just as terrible, if not worse, than the novella. I will say that Laurelin Paige writes an addictive story and I flew through this book. However, reading Dirty Filthy Rich Men is more akin to watching a train wreck. I knew nothing good was going to come out of reading this the further along I got, and yet, it was impossible to put down.

I would like to start off with a recap of all the problematic stuff that happened in the novella that I reviewed here. Our cast of characters primarily consists of Sabrina, Donovan, and Weston. In the prequel, Sabrina was 17-years-old attending Harvard on a scholarship, was sexually assaulted at a college party, was rescued by her TA, Donovan, who then practically forced her to have sex with him (then 22-years-old)  in order for him to change her grade in her class. There's definitely an illegal age difference here that I was already not comfortable with. And all these events lead up to this book, Dirty Filthy Rich Men, set 10 years after the events in the prequel.

If you, like me, thought this story couldn't get any worse, you would be so wrong.

Sabrina happens upon Weston, a boy who she had a crush on back in college and Donovan's best friend, in LA. They have dinner and hooked up a weekend before Weston decides he wants Sabrina to quit her job and join his and Donovan's company in New York. She says no, and a few months goes by before Weston makes her an offer she couldn't refuse and now she's off to NYC, thinking that Donovan is still working overseas and that she won't have to see him. Well, he's back in the US and he spends every opportunity to make sexist, misogynistic comments and sexually harass her. Sabrina constantly tells herself that she's a strong woman and she deserves respect. Then, she throws all common sense out the window to have sex with Donovan.

The plot is thin and vague. The only thing driving this story is how many times Sabrina will throw common sense out the window and sleep with someone who doesn't respect her and harasses her at every turn. Donovan is jealous Sabrina and Weston might have a thing going on, and Donovan is manipulative and absolutely awful. He's also the love interest we're all supposed to fall for? This book is a good example of an unhealthy, toxic relationship and Sabrina needs to get out of it.

I'm just going to pull a lot of quotes now (and if anyone tries to argue with me that these are taken out of context, there's no amount of context in the world that could make these okay):

"Seriously, Sabrina. What were you thinking coming out here alone? If you wanted to get raped, you could have just called me." Even with the dark, teasing words, his delivery was a lecture.

SPOILERS AHEAD


The plot twist is disgusting and unless the endgame is for Sabrina to love herself, see a therapist for the trauma she's carried around since college, and for Donovan to get thrown in jail, I am not here for the next book. Let the quotes tell you all you need to know about Donovan's relationship with his ex-fiancé:

"When I fall in love, I become so consumed, so preoccupied with the person I'm in love with that I do things I shouldn't. I get involved. I intervene. [...] I was so obsessed with her that I hired a private detective to follow her. I needed to know where she was - always. She found out, and we fought. She told me she'd call off the wedding if I didn't stop. But I couldn't stop. For no other reason except that I was addicted to her. I was addicted to knowing everything about her."

So, we find out Donovan is a stalker. Was Sabrina terrified that the manipulative asshole is a stalker? No. She just feels bad that he feels bad for what he's done.

And even though Donovan had been overzealous in his passion, he hadn't killed Amanda.

Maybe no one had ever told him that before.

When she finds out that Donovan kept 10 years worth of documents, pictures, and had an entire FILE on her, was she terrified then?

But, as messed up and confused as I felt, there were two things I now understood without a double about Donovan Kincaid.

Number one - this was what he meant when he said he got obsessed with the women he loved.

Number two - Donovan was in love with me.

This is not romantic. I don't know in what universe you would find this romantic. Donovan Kincaid is another Christian Grey. Sabrina is not as naive as Ana, but she is not using her head and thinking things through.

Just because that's not enough, here are some other WTF moments where Sabrina questions people's ethnicity (please note that instead of saying someone's "Asian", the author should have clarified instead of lumping everyone together *rolls eyes*):

I follow his gaze to an elegant Asian woman sitting near the bar chatting with a few other people.

I walked up to his secretary's desk. She was an attractive woman with black hair and dark skin, but her ethnicity wasn't immediately recognizable.

"You're welcome to wait in the bar," the hostess suggested, a pale young woman who looked one hundred percent like she'd some from East Asia but talked like she'd lived one hundred percent of her life in the Bronx.

This book was a mess. I can't even say this was a hot mess, because that would imply that Sabrina and Donovan's relationship was hot, and it's anything but. I would not recommend this series. It doesn't seem likely at this point that single Sabrina is the endgame, so this book will be my last for this series.

4 Oh, The Games We Play Stars

******May Contain Spoilers******

I was super excited to start this one after loving Dirty Filthy Rich Boys.

Everyone has grown up, Sabrina is working in Marketing in LA when she travels to New York for a convention where one of the guest speakers is no other than her old crush Weston King. She is not shy in admitting she went purposely to see if she had the same feelings she used too. So even though Weston seems keen to start something, it is obvious that he is not the man that Sabrina truly wants.

So Weston offers her a job at his NY firm which is a huge promotion for her, so of course she packs up all her stuff and moves. Only once she gets there things aren't what she thought.

Then we get to Donovan, that man owns the saying 'Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen'. The push and pull got to me a little as it was obvious that they both wanted each other but Donovan plays all these nasty mind games on Sabrina that have her second guessing herself .

“Why do you do this to me?” I whispered. His lips hovered above mine. Dancing. Teasing. “Do what?” “Trap me like this.” “It makes me feel like I have you.” I ached at my core. “I don’t want you to feel like you have me.” “Are you sure of that?”

So I was very happy when they finally got it on. After all that build up even I was relieved after *lol*.



Okay, I'll be the hundredth person to say what a dick/prick/asshole Donovan is BUT I don't blame Sabrina for still being with him. Not sure about anyone else but I have fallen for the hot prick.

I really liked the interactions between Sabrina and Donovan, I just wish there was something else going on in the story because between the interactions I was in inner-dialogue hell!!!

It got really good at the end but guess what happened?? Yep you got it, it ended.

I think I would almost call it a cliffhanger as something happened and was unanswered. Although it wasn't anything you don't see happening as this was a bit of a predictable read.

Overall I loved Donovan and all his assholerey, even his 'purple' penis was okay ;) Sabrina was smart and then at times eye rolling naive. I am stinging to see where this goes and I want more of the intense chemistry that is Sabrina and Donovan.

if it wasn’t because I was reading this RIGHT AFTER the pandemic hit

Then it might be getting less stars (I read this March 16, 2020. The whole world didn’t know how bad it was going to get y’all… so this is a nostalgic read for sure!!!)

The review for the prequel is here

This book takes place 10 years after the end of the prequel. Sabrina’s (27) listening to the keynote speaker who happens to be Weston, the guy she was crushing on when she was in college (read the prequel review for info on that). She’s with her best friend when she introduces herself to Weston with a side note of “you probably don’t remember me.”

Except he does 👀 and when they have drinks later on, they go back to his place and spend three days doing lots of diiiirty things 😅.

She goes back to her job, and three months later, she gets a call from Weston offering her a position with his company- the one he owns with Donovan (32) 😅.

Yeah. THAT Donovan 😅. The one that took her virginity ten years ago 👀.

She accepts because not only is the pay better, but also because there are so many perks and benefits with working for Reach. Plus. Donovan’s at the Tokyo branch 💁🏻‍♀️. It’ll be easy/breezy.

Until Donovan shows up her first day there 😬.

Let the tension and DOORMAT-behavior begin 👏🏻

What I liked SPOILERS (I’m still updating this)
—NO CELIBATE HEROINE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The fact that I have to put this as my first bullet is just sad 😐. Thank you LP for not having Sabrina pining away for Donovan while he was whoring around 💅. She got some good d 💁🏻‍♀️(with an * though lol cause… of course… no one compares to Donovan). And my petty little heart LUUUURVES that she slept with his coworker/friend (Weston) 😈

—the tension 😅. There’s sooo much tension, even in the prequel, there’s tension thick enough to be cut with a knife. Once the ten years pass, oh LAWD, it gets even thicker 👀. Donovan and Sabrina complement each other. Not only because he’s an alpha boss, but because of the type of kinks they each like

—CNC🥵. I’ve gotta admit- the CNC scenes from these books have live rent free in my head for YEARS 😅🔥. The way the first one plays out is organic. Donovan is amazing at picking up cues from Sabrina- that’s how he figured out, years ago, that she has a CNC kink 🔥

—the aggressive way Donovan can be when it comes to 🔥. NGL- his confidence is seeeexy! The dynamic between them is one of a D/s relationship, but a natural one. He says something and she tends to obey (I’ll comment on this down below as well)

—how obsessed Donovan is with Sabrina 😅. He’s been watching her for years and continues to watch her 👀. (But I’ll also comment about this below).

—Sabrina acting confident (for like .2 seconds). When it comes to her job, she’s good. When it comes to Donovan…🙄 (I’ll comment down below 😅🤣)

—the 🔥. It’s always hot…

—the reasons why Donovan didn’t actively pursue Sabrina makes sense… ish… but I still found myself scratching my head 😑

—it’s aaaaaangsty! Oh LAWD… it REALLY is! But… I enjoyed it 🤣

What I didn’t like
—sigh… the fact that Donovan’s been obsessed with her for over 10 years and decided to be a manwhore versus, you know, the sensible thing- go after her 🤦🏻‍♀️. She’s only had 5 other partners besides Donovan, while he’s had an ish load 🙄. Siiiiigh... At least she wasn’t celibate 🤷🏻‍♀️

—how easily Sabrina caves to Donovan 🙄. She’s all talk😏. She decides to stay away from him, say no, discontinue their relationship, yet as soon as Donovan snaps his fingers, she’s there 🥴. I need help finding her backbone 👀 because she sure as shhhh loses it many times in this book 🤦🏻‍♀️.

—although he’s been obsessed with her all this time, SHE’S the one who’s actively going after him 🥴. Many times, SHE texts/calls/goes to him and I was VEEEERY ANNOYED 😑. Girl. GIIIIIIRLLLL… stand your ground!!!!! Follow through with your thoughts and actions 🤦🏻‍♀️ why you caving in for?!?! 😵‍💫

—Sabrina “rewarding” Donovan after he acted like an ass once they slept together 🙄. Sorry… if I’m being treated like I’m just another notch on his post, you best believe I’m not going on my knees 😐

—the ow scene🥴. Donovan calls her to describe how his encounter with the ow is (he uses his fingers and mouth on the ow), and she doesn’t hang up😐
That’s right. SHE🙄DOESN’T😐HANG😵‍💫UP 🥴. He doesn’t sleep with the ow, but still 😐. And then, Sabrina does the only sensible thing after they hang up… she masturbates to thoughts of him 😐😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🥴🥴🥴

Overall, there were parts I liked about this book, but many parts that IRRITAAAATED TF me

(the following is my 2020 review... we don't trust 2020 reviews 🤣 so I'll have to come back and update this once I finish my reread)

I absolutely loved this book. I read it as part of the Dirty Duet bundle, where all three books are in one, and I couldn’t read fast enough. Donovan is my new book boyfriend, along with Edward from the Slay series (I guess Hudson is up there too along with JC). Man was this book amazing! I always love reading books where the main characters meet each other years later and the chemistry between them is still smoking hot. This was no different. I love the tension between Sabrina and Donavan. I was so glad I started this series after all the books were released, that way I was able to go straight into book 2.

Weird. Creepy. Disturbing. But damn, i loved it.



The first half of the book was so good, the second half pissed me off. the heroine kept making stupid decisions, it drove me nuts.




and to make things worse, the book has an open ending. and freaking book 2 will be published september 2017. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!! What am i supposed to do? i hate waiting for sequels. urghh. Why did i even read this?
