Face of an angel.
Body of a god.
And a mouth so dirty he could make the devil blush…

Fix Marcosa’s time can be bought with money, but he isn’t selling sex. Murderers, rapists, criminals: if you’re on the wrong side of Fix’s moral code, you’re in trouble. The kind of trouble that winds up getting you killed. As a hitman for hire, Fix is no stranger to violence. He’s merciless. Relentless. A true savage, down to the roots of his very soul. You can beg. You can plead. You can pray, but it won’t do you any good. Once the tall, dark stranger arrives at your doorstep, it’s already too late to repent.

Sera Lafferty’s no stranger to heartbreak. With an abusive father and a dependant sister, her life has been one of sacrifice and compromise. As soon as she sets eyes on Felix ‘Fix’ Marcosa, she recognizes the darkness in him and makes a vow: she will not get involved. But trapped inside a motel room with the sexiest man to ever walk the earth? Throw in some tequila and the storm to end all storms, and Sera finds herself worshipping at the altar of Marcosa.

She knows she made a mistake.

She knows she needs to run.

But when she witnesses the assassin at work first hand, she knows it’s far too late. Thrown into the back of his sleek black ride, Sera finds herself trapped, and in more way than one. Fix is deadly. He’s demanding, he’s dirty, and he’s determined to claim her for his own.

Oh. My. God. I’m actually speechless right now, it’s taken me so damn long just to form these sentences because WHAT THE FUCK just happened?!?

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Seriously, I’m in absolute awe of Callie and her work, every time I read a new book of hers I’m sure it can’t outdo the last one but I’m always left eating my words because they ALWAYS are. Dirty is everything the title says with a whole lot of sexiness and equal amounts of insanity. Ok, so a little about the characters..

Fix is a tall dark and handsome stranger with a dirty mouth and a knack for speaking the truth and saying exactly what he wants. He isn’t stupid, he knows he’s hot and can get any woman he wants but he doesn’t flaunt it. He has certain tastes and is sure they won’t change but he’s about to be proven wrong, so very wrong.

Sera is a hellcat, she doesn’t take shit from no one (she’s badass) and stands her ground. After suffering through her horrid childhood he skin has thickened and she won’t be bullied anymore and that’s so clear to see through this book. She’s actually become one of my favourites of Callie’s female characters, she’s legit awesome.

Their story is fascinating and unexpected and that’s what I love most about this. It’s insane but outstanding. There’s nothing more amazing than reading a book that can make you think and feel so many things and this one hit the spot!

Callie has a special talent at writing the most horrific events into her storylines that just have you hooked and wanting, no scratch that NEEDING more. No matter how brutal or disturbing you can’t help but need more.

Oh, that ending. Let me just stop for a moment and ask WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? Seriously? I didn’t see that one coming AT ALL. I’m literally wanting to pull my hair out right now, I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!

I’ve been a fan of Callie Hart’s for so long and any of her books are an instant 1-click for me. When I heard she was writing this bad boy I damn well freaked out. Getting a new Callie book is always a happy day and Dirty just made my day (or should I say early hours in the morning) so much better. I couldn’t put my kindle down and it’s that exact reason why I’m currently sat up at 4:30am writing this review. I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading. I truly wish I could rate higher than 5 because I sure would.

"I want to go down on you."
description

Dirty, a new dark contemporary romance, by Callie Hart is an explosive read with complex characters, a gripping plot, and a sensual hero that does not stop! This first book in the Dirty Nasty Freaks is gripping and explosive!

description
"I know I'm good with my tongue, by the way. I could lick and suck and tease your clit. I could lave at it until you came, and then I could lick you some more."
Sera Lafferty is a spunky, successful businesswoman who is traveling to her sister's wedding. When bad luck seems to derail her plans, she meets Felix Marcosa. Fix is a man on a mission. Lethal and driven, he makes no excuses for who he is or what he has been tasked to do. When Sera and Fix end up sharing the same hotel room, sparks fly and both find themselves drawn to one another. After sharing a night full of passion, unlucky circumstances continue to plague Sera and she finds herself tied to Fix. Fix and Sera head out to her sister's wedding and with Fix by her side, it's anyone's guess what will happen next.

description
"Fix was broken and undone. He was light and he was darkness. And despite every warning bell in my mind that said otherwise, I couldn't shake the feeling that, while I knew he was danger personified...he might, just might, be my safety too."
Told in dual POV, Dirty is full of action, intrigue, and smoking hot steam. The connection between Sera and Fix is intense and due to their circumstances they find themselves in, together they become an unstoppable force. As the plot unfolds, the mystery of these characters is all consuming. Fix is my favorite type of hero with an unconstrained drive to get what he wants and an unrestrainable loyalty to protecting Sera. Sera is full spirit and after everything she has overcome, she is unwilling to compromise. Callie Hart has always captivated me with her expert storytelling and unforgettable characters.

description

Overall, I highly recommend Dirty to anyone who enjoys a suspenseful contemporary romance full of passion and intrigue. With such an explosive start to this series, my Kindle and I are dying for more of Fix and his dirty mouth!

Dude...I mean I'm not even surprised, because I love EVERYTHING Callie Hart puts out, but damn...

I hate to sound like that basic broad who can't even, but I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW! I think somewhere in my mind I forgot this wasn't a stand alone, because there I was at 30 minutes left in the book going, "Nope, something catastrophic hasn't happened to them yet.....OMG this isn't going to end on a high note...OMG is this going to be a cliff hanger?!!! F$%#!! It is going to have a cliff hanger!" Just some of the thoughts passing through my head at the time. Remember kids, don't forget there's a cliff hanger when there is one, it'll leave you feeling awful 100% of the time.

I thoroughly enjoyed both of these characters. Sera and Felix/Fix are so perfectly screwed up in so many different ways. I love them both, feel for them both, am so intrigued by each of their individual paths. I really can't wait for the second book. I'm not going to ruin anything, cause you need to read this yourself, trust me it is so worth it. But I want to say one thing, I knew what happened at the end was going to be a thing from the moment Fix walked into the book. I'm not even mad, because by the time I got to the last page of the book, I had forgotten about it. That's how enraptured the story line kept me. Sera and Fix have so much passion inside of them and when they come together, they are an atomic bomb going off. They have this incredible slow burn about them which shouldn't even be a slow burn because of the first few chapters, but you feel it. And it's soooo good.

I will patiently wait for the next installment, I pray it gets here soon because I need their conclusion, whatever it may be.

4.5 Stars!



Sera Lafferty is an entrepreneur living in Seattle. While driving cross-country to attend her sister’s wedding, inclement weather causes Sera to spend the night in small country town. When she tries to adjust to the unexpected delay, she doesn’t expect the additional distraction of a handsome man in black.

“There was something about him that made me feel very small. He was raw, untapped power, a storm trapped inside a bottle, and I got the feeling he raged day and night, no matter way.”

Felix “Fix” Marcosa is a hitman currently on assignment in the middle of nowhere. With every detail planned, Fix isn’t usually surprised by many things, but a fiery woman desperate enough to share the last available motel room with him captures his interest in spades.

“I’d benefit immensely from watching you slide your fingers over your wet pussy. It would drive me insane. Especially if you hitched your shirt up and pulled down your bra so your tits were exposed.”

As Sera and Fix realize they are stuck with each other for a while, details about their pasts are slowly revealed bringing certain truths to the forefront. Trying to deal with Fix’s actions and balance her need to support her sister, Sera has to choose between what she believes is right for her. But when she must face her biggest demon, Sera tries to trust someone to help her through it. Acting on his instinct as a natural protector, he tries to do what he can in their limited time.

“I’m not that simple to figure out, Fix. You’ll never see inside me. You’ll never piece the fractured pieces of me back together long enough to make a whole picture, so don’t even try.”




Told in dual POV, the chemistry between Sera and Fix is scorching. Fix is intense, mysterious, forthright and devastatingly handsome. Plus, he’s very comfortable using his assets to get what he wants; however, it’s just rare for him to want someone like Sera. While she isn’t blind, Sera is quite an independent thinker and isn’t ready to fall into bed with Fix just because other women fawn all over him. Instead, they have an addictive connection causing them to verbally spar while a flirtatious subtext is omnipresent.

Dirty is a fast-paced story with suspense, sexual tension and one dirty talking hero. From the first page, the dynamic storyline hooked me immediately with captivating prose that are signature Callie Hart. I am so excited for this new trilogy and cannot wait to see how it all unfolds.

the BLURB...

the BLURB alone...held my panties in a twist...metaforically

BUT HAWT DAMN...the BLURB alone....made me just...



fuck me...I'm IN



Well, well, well...

What Callie Hart did here was maestrally plotting...yeah, she brought in two unlikely characters, a hitman/ex-priest, Felix 'Fix' Marcosa and a strong willed business woman/domestic abuse survivor, Sera Lafferty into the mix, peppered it up with raw sexual heat and carnal desire ...with dirty talk to spice it all up...then she threw a twist right in the closing part of this thrilling play ...

Leaving the pages open and riveting for the continuation...

And voila, you have a fast paced, sexually heated, heart pumping suspenseful drama...

I CAN’T EVEN WITH THE END.

Sexual Tension Alert⚠️

Damn, this book was so good!
And the plot twist at the end, literally the last 3 pages, I didn’t see it coming.
Shit, I need the sequel.

Every time Fix said anything I was like


Sara is so strong, complex and awesome.
“She was beginning to look like a woman who really would tear a guy’s dick off for climbing into bed with her”

Both of them have their own personal hell. And I really like how they deal with it and I can’t wait to see more of it in the sequel.

The romance was HOTTER THEN HOT.
And the wedding scene, where they start talking about ... was just hilarious😂.
The entire wedding scene was just on point.

Dirty, there is no better name for this book.
Because it was, the best kinda of dirty.

To say I love this author is a gross understatement. Callie Heart has ingrained herself onto my top authors list with her first series, Blood & Roses. Dirty was amazingly gripping with intrigue and sexual heat! I was enthralled and absolutely grasped by this story from start to finish. Loved Sera and Felix/Fix like crazy and they truly were a powerhouse couple made in heaven! This brand new series is going to be a hit I can tell!

Dang it! A cliffy! I suspected I was gonna get hit with one!!! Also the cliffy shocker I had suspected earlier on in the book! Even though I suspected what was going to come out... I loved the last 40% of the story! The sex between Sera and Fix was sooo friggen hot! I’m telling you, the scene where they screwed by the tree was intense!!! It has been awhile since I’ve read a scene that was captivating like this one!!!

My biggest complaint with this story was that it was very slow for the first 60%. Even with it being slow though, I was still entertained by the couple’s banter, and because of that I had no interest in putting the book aside.

I hear the next instalment comes out sometime in the beginning of May! I can’t wait! I will be reading it as soon as it comes out!

Thanks Steph for bringing this book to my attention, and for Buddy reading it with me! Xoxo

"He was Pandora's box, and I knew opening him was a bad idea. I wanted to know his secrets, though. I wanted to learn everything about him."

Such a great book that I just couldn’t put down! It is action packed, exciting, sexy, full of suspense, the perfect mix! Throughout the entire book, I found myself feeling as if I was being injected with small outbursts of adrenaline. The chemistry, heat, and tension was off the charts!
If you're looking for a novel that has a strong heroine, dirty talk, awesome sexy banter, steamy sex scenes, nonstop action sequences, riveting plot, look no further because Dirty is for you.
It’s a page-turner. I definitely will be looking out for book 2 in the series to see what happens! Get yourself a copy, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

"Fix. A creature made out of shadows and light. A dream, and a nightmare rolled into one. He was both sides of a coin toss, consequence and reward."

"I wanted a woman who wasn't afraid to fight for what she wanted. I wanted a rough and tumble woman who wouldn't freeze if she felt threatened. I wanted strength, and I wanted fire, and I wanted passion, and Sera possessed all three in spades."

In short:

Wow! Callie Hart's novels are always intense, explosive and so sexy. The minute I read the blurb to Dirty I knew I had to read it. Sera and Fix were steamy, hot AF and had the most fiery banter! I could not get enough of them!

Sera Lafferty is having a bad day. After roadblock after roadblock trying to get to her to her little sister's wedding she is now forced to share the only hotel room with the tall, dark, gorgeous and mysterious Felix "Fix" Marcosa. The results: a drunken night of passion where her inhibitions let loose and the real Sera comes out to play. But when Sera comes face to face with the real Fix and sees the assassin come out and play, will she be able to handle the true killer when he makes it his mission to keep her quiet?

Gahhh!! This novel was fantastic! I loved the chemistry and the backstory and how Fix had an avenging angel streak. I loved how protective he was of Sera and despite his need to be there for her, she was strong as heck on her own. But that ending?! OMG!! Now I need to know what is happening!! Callie Hart hurrrry and write book two!!! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula

Callie did it again!!! I'm so excited about DIRTY!!! That new series is going to be epic!
Mark my words, because if you know me, you know that there is only one bbf for me and it's Zeth Mayfair, but Fix  might dethrone him!!!

Seriously, every woman needs a fix of FIX...Is he perfect? Absolutely ....not. He is arrogant, dominating, and... oh, little detail, lethal. But he totally found his match in Sera, feisty, in control, fierce Sera. 

So when they collide, wow, hang on tight because it's tumultuous, electrically charged and intense. It then results in funny banter and panty melting scenes!

“I’ve tasted your ecstasy. I’ve tasted your anger. I wanted to know what your fear tasted like.”


Take the plunge and embark on a crazy road trip, brave the storm and crash the most improbable of the weddings. What a ride!!! The atmosphere is incredible, the endearing characters captivated me right away.  Between situations that made me laugh so hard, gritty and poignant flashbacks, steamy moments and a mystery that had me yelling at the end, yes, DIRTY has everything. 

How were good girls supposed to stay good when bad boys like Fix made it so ease to sin?


Enjoy, ladies!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve read anything from Callie Hart and I realized once I started this book how much I’ve missed her writing. I fell so deeply in love with her Blood & Roses series (yummy Zeth) and knew from there I was a goner. I became a devout fan and I wouldn’t change a thing. Getting my hands on Dirty only confirmed why I think this woman is incredibly talented. I honestly didn’t think she’d create anyone who could test the caliber of Zeth’s character, but Fix is definitely giving it his best shot.

He was raw, untapped power, a storm trapped inside a bottle, and I got the feeling he raged day and night, no matter what. - Sera


Fix is a hired hit man. He goes after the murderers, rapists, pedophiles and abusers who escape the justice of the system. I instantly viewed him as a vigilante and while I don’t condone his actions, it was easy to understand them. He was raw, unfiltered darkness and mayhem, and within the first glance, I knew there was so much more to this man than meets the eye.

Sera is no stranger to pain. After escaping an abusive and tortured childhood, she’s made a life for herself and considers it a success. She’s brave and strong and determined to live her life on her terms. She never predicted coming across a man like Fix, a man who was almost too beautiful to look at, a man that drew her in like a moth to a flame. She knew getting close to him could burn her, but she couldn’t resist. And when she finds out a bit of what he’s truly made of, it’s too late to turn back. He’s everything she shouldn’t want and all the things she needed. He’s a killer and yet she’s never felt safer. With one look he strips her bare and his touch sets her soul on fire.

“I’ve tasted your ecstasy. I’ve tasted your anger. I wanted to know what your fear tasted like.��� - Fix


I loved the way the author played these characters against each other. They have undeniable chemistry, but Sera tries to resist because she believes it’s the right thing to do. Her mind tells her one thing, but her heart and her body have turned into traitors, always leading her to Fix. And it’s obvious that with Sera, Fix is discovering another part of himself. A part he thought was dead and buried. His heart is being thawed out by this spitfire of a woman and while he’s hating it, he’s loving it at the same time. And through their every interaction, you can see the growth these characters are going through. How their perceptions are changing, how their feelings are developing, and it has them questioning everything. I think the author created characters that perfectly complement each other. They bring out the best and worst of the other and I’m enjoying watching all of this unfold, hoping for a brilliant happy ending.

Happiness was a byproduct of embracing your own flaws, your insecurities and your desires. I wasn’t sure how to accomplish that, but it seemed, against all the odds, that Fix had. - Sera


After one heck of a cliffhanger, I’m beyond thrilled that book two, Nasty, is out. Can these two lost souls become found with each other? In each other? If you’re a fan of sexy, insanely hot, hilarious, dirty-talking anti-heroes, you’ll want to meet Fix. He doesn’t disappoint!!

Callie Hart is really one of the greatest dark romance writers. Ever.

I don't know how she does it, but she makes it work every time without fail. Dirty isn't as action-packed or as dark as her well-known Blood & Roses series, but it still packs a serious punch on darkness, grittiness and romance. I'm still so speechless after that read. And I'm even more speechless after Dirty.

“I’ve tasted your ecstasy. I’ve tasted your anger. I wanted to know what your fear tasted like.”


Meet Felix 'Fix' Marcosa - the definition of tall, dark and handsome with a dirty mouth and even dirtier line of work. He won't hesitate to tell you the truth. And he sure as hell won't hesitate to tell you what he wants from you.

Sera Lafferty is an interesting heroine. After living through a horrendous childhood that has left emotional and physical scarring, she's developed tough walls. She isn't shy. She's brutally honest and opinionated. She'll stand her ground and tell you how she feels.

Dirty is unique in that you don't know what will happen or how events will unfold. It keeps you guessing and surprises you with startling information. Callie Hart manages to successfully write dark scenes that want you to recoil in horror, but also have you sitting on the edge of your seat wanting to know what's going to happen.

She's such a brilliant writer.

And I'm eternally grateful to have received this ARC!

Now, we really need the next installment in Fix and Sera's story please because that ending has me biting my nails. I'm anxious. I'm dying to know what happens!

So.... I didn’t know that this was going to be a series? So I just stalked the authors page and apparently there will be books 2 and 3 as well?

*everything is a question because I’m now questioning everything*

Because HOLY MOTHER, I didn’t expect that ending. Cliffhangers don’t usually get me anymore but I want to sink my teeth into the rest of this story NOW. Like right effing meow.

Really liked the beginning, it was fast, it was dirty, it was addicting and it was intense. Couldn’t devour it fast enough. I also enjoyed that the characters didn’t just magically fall in love, especially given the subject content and nature of the story and the characters’ histories.

I wasn’t sure how this story was going to play out, I liked that it takes place over a very short period of time, but I felt like there were still so many questions I had or holes to fill. I guess subsequent books shall take care of those issues. Boy oh boy, I’m excited.

Oh, and Sera’s fire and spunk and courage are spectacular. Plus, I’d be lying if I said Fix’s dirty mouth didn’t get to me. If you say that, I’ll think every thought you’ve ever had was a lie. So beware.

Things got a little watery towards the ending I think, like it didn’t seem as intense to me, their “relationship”, or conversations. Didn’t know where it would go. But the last 2 pages, absolutely spot on.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Holy Shit This book was phenomenal. As soon as I started reading there was no way I would put it down until I was finished. The title is perfect, Fix is a dirty mouth sexy hit man who has no filter. Fix & Sera shouldn’t be together but somehow they can’t stay away. When secrets are revealed, everything changes. The ending OMG I need the next book ASAP, I need to know wtf is going too happen next. A brilliant twisted 5 Star read that everyone must read.

"How were good girls supposed to stay good when bad boys like Fix made it so easy to sin?"


WOW!
Mi sono ufficialmente innamorata di Fix Marcosa. Che uomo, ragazze mie. Che uomo! Ho tantissime cose da dire su questa storia, ma il libro è corto e fa parte di una trilogia, quindi tante cose dovranno ancora saltare fuori (quel cliffhanger porcaccia zozza!!). Partiamo con i personaggi, da lui. Felix, detto Fix. Avete presente quando leggete un romanzo e vi innamorate perdutamente di un personaggio che vorreste infilare la mano nel reader, e prenderlo? Argh, Fix è davvero un gran figo. Lui un tempo era un prete, non molto devoto in realtà, e dopo un brutto fatto avvenuto nella sua chiesa, decide di ascoltare la chiamata oscura dentro di sè e diventare un sicario. Si. Se sei sulla lista nera dei clienti di Fix, sei morto.
Sulla sua strada si intromette però Sera. Una ragazza forte, con un brutto passato fatto di violenze e che non ha peli sulla lingua. Questi due insieme fidatevi, sono uno spasso. Ho riso davvero tanto. Entrambi hanno un carattere forte e dal momento che si conoscono e devono per cause di forza maggiore dividere una camera durante un alluvione, l'attrazione divampa e non c'è scampo. Fix vuole tenerla d'occhio perchè lei l'ha visto uccidere una persona, e nonostante tutto lei non si è mai sentita in pericolo. Lui è da sballo quando si rende conto che vuole proteggere Sera dai demoni del suo passato, sa già che non la lascerà più andare.
Ci sono solo due scene di sesso in questo libro, e wow. Sono bastate alla grande per mandarmi in tilt il cervello. Sono un esplosione di emozioni, dico davvero.

"Fix was broken and undone. He was light and he was darkness. And despite every warning bell in my mind that said otherwise, I couldn't shake the feeling that, while I knew he was danger personified... he might, just might, also be my safety too."


Callie Hart è una delle autrici nuove che mi ero promessa di provare quest'anno, e sicuramente non ci vorrà molto prima che io inizi Nasty, sono completamente innamorata!

Callie Hart sure knows how to write about a super hot guy and a sassy woman.
Felix is one Dirty mouthed, smooth as silk, cocky, self assured man and boy is he a killer.
Sera on the other hand is reserved, keeping her secrets close to her chest but when Felix gets her to lower her walls and let him in they are explosive together. The sex scenes are off the charts and will make you all hot and bothered.
Major cliffs but I had it figured out early on but it didn't take it away from the story. Callie is a 1-click author for me. I'm super excited for the next book.

3 1/2 dirty nasty stars

THIS BOOK ENDS IN A CLIFFHANGER!! I put this in all caps and bold bc it was not clear in the blurb that this is not a standalone, so I was annoyed to be dangling from a cliff at the end of this one. I generally do not read reviews before reading the book if the story sounds interesting, so until I got close to the end and realized there was no way things would be resolved in the number of pages left.

Seattle resident Sera Lafferty is on her way to her sister's wedding when she is stuck in Middle of Nowhere, Wyoming because of a nasty storm. The only place in this tiny town to stay is a sketchy looking motel, but she has few choices, so beggars can't be choosers. When the interesting and very out-of-place, super attractive man becomes her competition for the only room left in the joint, she agrees to share the room since there are two beds, and she just needs to crash for a few hours to recharge and get ready to drive straight through to South Carolina to get to her sister's event 2 days from now. What she doesn't expect is to get wasted, have mind-blowing sex with the mysterious stranger she's sharing the space with, then stumble onto him practicing his profession, which when he told her the night before that he was a hit man, she thought he was being ridiculous... turns out, he wasn't.

Felix Marcosa ("Fix") is a former Catholic priest turned mercenary after a horrific event that made him believe that he could make a bigger difference by taking people out versus taking people's confessions. When a job brings him to the podunk town in Wyoming, he finds himself occupying close quarters with a woman he finds highly desirable. Unfortunately, the hit-it-and-quit-it plan he had in mind goes up in smoke when she witnesses him at work, and he decides the best course of action is to accompany Sera to her sister's wedding and pose as her date so he can "monitor" the situation and decide if she is a risk to him in the meantime. What he doesn't expect is to feel more for this woman than he thought possible, and when she is in danger, he vows to protect her...even if it is from himself.

What I liked:
--- The main characters are very complex and interesting.... there is more than there initially appears to be going on
--- Non-stop in terms of the plot movement which kept me interested throughout so it was a quick read
--- STEAMY GOODNESS

What I didn't like as much:
--- As I stated at the start, it was not made clear to the reader that this book does not contain a resolution - it ends on a very steep cliffhanger (though the "big reveal" was one that I definitely saw coming a mile away)
--- Felt like the characters were a little inconsistent at times with their actions based on their backgrounds and the situation (ex, Felix/Fix is supposed to be a stone cold killer with ties to nothing and no one, but he is all kinds of smitten with Sera in no time)
--- Not so much that I didn't like it, but the wording at times was odd... I am thinking that perhaps the author is not American bc she used terms like "meant to" instead of "supposed to" and described Wyoming residents as "southern" - she probably meant more "good ol' boy" than southern, so it was just a little odd at times

Overall, this book definitely kept my attention from start to finish, and fortunately, the next book is available on K/U so I can find out what happens next! Dirty steamy goodness, and some twists and turns along the way.

Plot --- 3.5/5
Main Characters --- 4/5
Supporting Cast --- 3.5/5
Steam Level* --- 4/5
Violence --- yes and with possible triggers
Language --- yes
POV ---Dual

*Note that steam level is not a rating so much as a how hot was it: 0/5 - clean; 1/5 - mild (nothing descriptive); 2/5 - 3rd base action/1 home run; 3/5 - now we're getting somewhere (a couple of full-on steamy scenes); 4/5 - yes please! (erotica territory); 5/5 - they did EVERYTHING in this one, y'all

I read the blurb awhile ago and I knew I was going to be consumed by her new characters and I was right.

On the journey from hell to her sisters wedding Sera crosses paths with a very intriguing man Fix Marcosa. You can tell that Sera is no fool because she recognises the danger with a man like him. It’s like fate is against her when they are forced to share a hotel room, this is when the fun starts.

Fix is a fascinating man, he’s a gun for hire with zero conscience and zero filter. When Sera is a witness to Fix at work and now she’s trapped and at his mercy.

I loved Fix from his shady work to his dirty mouth and boy oh boy does he talk dirty but he can back it up with action. The sexual tension between them is intense to say the least I think has met his match in Sera.

Callie has a way of writing that draws you in, even the darkest moments thrill and delight the reader. I’m slightly obsessed by Fix and Sera’s story, I should have been prepared because this is the work of Callie Hart but I wasn’t prepared for that ending but u should have been.

I am a big fan of Callie Hart, so far I have loved all of her books. Then I started Dirty and I have to admit to being mildly disappointing. It just didn't have that same pull that I felt when reading her other books. That is not to say that I didn't enjoy it, it just wasn't wowing me.

Then I read the last three pages...THE LAST THREE PAGES!! And suddenly I am as addicted to these books as I have been to all of Callie Hart's previous books. I should have known just to trust her, she knows what she is doing!

I love a dirty talking alpha and a badass woman but to start Sera and Fix were fun but not great, yet now I am completely invested in them.

So much so that I cannot put together a coherent review at the moment, I am going to have to come back and fix this one!

4 stars for Dirty and I am moving onto the next instalment immediately.

Callie Hart sucked me in with this book. A sexy, dirty talking hitman is always my weakness and Felix won me over within seconds of meeting him.

Sera is on her way to her sisters wedding when she gets stuck in a storm and has no choice but to find a hotel for the night. When a gorgeous stranger arrives also looking for a room, the sparks start flying between them and the bickering soon starts. Of course there’s only one room but with her and Felix both wanting it, they’re left with little choice but to share. With nothing to do to pass the time the tequila gets opened and things start getting hot between them. Waking the next day Sera’s still determined to make her sisters wedding no matter what. Even if that means finding Felix and asking for his help.

Felix is a hitman and he’s good at what he does. Having never been caught in the act, it throws him when he finds Sera has witnessed his latest job. What’s he supposed to do? He can’t kill her but he can’t risk her telling anyone so he does the next logical thing and decides to attend her sisters wedding with her.

The sexual chemistry between Felix and Sera is hot. Felix is a dream. I have the biggest crush on him already and this is only book one! The more I find out about him, the more I love him. Sera has been broken by her past but she’s surprisingly strong. With her sassy independent attitude and fiery temper not to mention her penchant for bickering, Felix has definitely met his match with her.

I loved this book. I loved the characters, the story has a little bit of everything and I didn’t want this book to end. Can’t wait for more from Felix and Sera.

So this is more of 3,5 star rather a 4 star.

h - Sera is a great h, not a frail flower, gives hard has she get's!! Had a trouble childhood with an abusive father but when she was 20 and her sister 18 they just left, made a life for herself payed for her colleague and now at 27 has her own little business going!!!
Really liked her... Not a virgin and was sexually "free" of guilt or self-shaming for jumping a guy she just met.

The problem was the H
Felix or Fix Marcosa, hitman with a conscience!!! Only kills bad people!!
Like really?!!

Maybe the problem is me... After reading kiss of death with a character like Nero this guy is basically a boy scout, Its not dark even!!!
The thing that made him be a hitman was a joke... Or maybe was poorly explained or maybe im a cold heart bitch...
His past calling?!? Not feeling it...

Then a Hitman that check's himself at the only hotel in town using his true name?!? Not once but twice ?! Hitman 101: cover your tracks dude!

Did he lost his suit?! They meet and he is in a suit in the end he trys to get a suit in the Hotel?!?

On the plus side the guy had one hell of a dirty talk and the sex was hot!

End with a crazy cliffhanger... Maybe will read the next one!

“He was raw, untapped power, a storm trapped inside a bottle, and I got the feeling he raged day and night, no matter what. It felt unsafe being so close to him, like I was being drawn closer and closer against my will, and no matter how hard I tried to resist him, I just couldn’t.”

4.5 stars!


I’m a big Callie Hart fan, and she has delivered a great story that is dark and deliciously dirty, but also unexpectedly funny. I was hooked from the very beginning as we are introduced to her latest unforgettable hero - badass hitman, Felix ‘Fix’ Marcosa – and I loved this fast-paced, exciting and surprising story.

I didn’t know going in that this is the first book in a new trilogy, so be aware that it’s not a standalone, and that there is a cliffy ending.

Sera Lafferty is in the middle of a cross-country road trip to get to her sister’s wedding, when she gets stranded in the middle of a small town in the middle of nowhere due to bad weather. When she rocks up to the only place in town with available beds, she runs into fellow traveller, tall, dark and dangerous Fix Marcosa in the lobby, and when they discover that there is only one room available, they have no other choice but to share it.

From the very beginning, the dynamic between Fix and Sera is electric. The banter is quick, witty and so much fun, and influenced by their strong physical attraction to each other, and I laughed out loud at their fiery conversation and wicked teasing.

“I’m gonna go to sleep soon. Don’t even think about trying to climb into bed with me. It’s a sure fire way of getting yourself castrated.”
Please. You know you want to sleep with me, Sera Lafferty. You wanted to sleep with me the moment you set eyes on me.”
A slow, frankly unnerving smile spread across her face. She was beginning to look like a woman who really
would tear a guy’s dick off for climbing into bed with her. “You have a very high opinion of yourself, Fix.”
I grinned back at her, flashing her my teeth. “Of course I do. I’m really fucking awesome.”

Fix is, indeed, really fucking awesome. He’s smart, funny and seriously sexy, and he has a take-no-shit, say it like it is mentality, which is lots of fun. And smartass Sera is right there with him, returning quips like a champion. And it’s all so freaking entertaining!

“My dick’s pretty fucking phenomenal. You should see it. Grown women have been known to weep when they behold it.”

“I’m sure your dick is magnificent,” I said, groaning under my breath. “I’m sure women across the country have carved wooden replicas of it that they worship daily. It’s probably the most stunning cock to have ever gotten a boner. But I’m gonna pass this time.”

The sexual tension is thick, and builds a delicious chemistry between them, and they end up sharing a hot and steamy encounter which rocks both of their worlds. But there is so much about Fix that Sera doesn’t know. And when she realises exactly who and what he is, she knows she needs to get away…. if only she could.

Fix. A creature made out of shadows and light. A dream, and a nightmare rolled into one. He was both sides of a coin toss, consequence and reward. I wanted to kiss him so badly right then that my lips ached. I wanted to run away from him, screaming, just as badly.

It’s a great set up, and when Fix demands that he join Sera on her trip to her sister’s wedding, posing as her date no less, it just gets better. There are lots of laughs, continued banter and teasing, and so much sexual tension it practically drips off the page. But we also get to look into both of their pasts, and there is a lot of darkness there. They have been through hard times, and though different, they are both lifechanging and devastating. But their experiences have shaped who they have become, and everything begins to change for them as they start to learn more about each other.

I’d done some stupid, messed up things as a teenager. I’d done equally stupid, reckless things after … but nothing in my life had ever gotten me as high as Sera Lafferty. She was the light that flowed in my veins. She was the oxygen in my lungs. She was the fuel that fired my heart.

See! There is some unexpected sweetness underneath that gruff and over-confident veneer. And the romance that develops is gorgeous! It’s not a conventional love story, that’s for sure, with a whole lot of baggage and a mix of emotions at play, but I still felt the growing feelings between Fix and Sera, and I loved the way it all played out.

“I’m your addiction, just as much as you’re mine. I’m toxic for you. I know that. If I were a better man, I’d let you go. But I’m not.”

Like I said, the story ends on a cliffhanger, but it’s not too painful. It’s something that I could see coming, but that still makes a huge impression, and will shift the story going forward, and I can’t wait to see where it’s all going to go from here!

He cupped my face in his hand, stroking the pad of his thumb over the line of my cheekbone. “You’re fucking mine,” he groaned. “You don’t need to worry anymore. You’re safe. I won’t let anyone hurt you. I’ll fucking flay the skin off anyone who tries to lay a finger on you.”

I loved this one! Dirty and sexy with lots of laugh-out-loud moments, but with nicely developed emotion and dark undertones that give the whole story a deliciously wicked feeling. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait for more!

4.5 stars.

Holy wow Callie Hart I want the next book like yesterday!!! This is a story about a hitman who doesn't sugar coat things,and a tough as nails no nonsense woman, with scars of her own. They meet by chance when there's a horrible storm they are both stuck in and end up having to share a room. She knows she needs to stay away from him but can she and does she even want to is the question? Hold on to your hats ladies and gents because this book is a non-stop ride. I laughed and wanted to throat punch a few people in there it was that good! Definitely a 5 star read because I'm not allowed to give more. If you like dark and twisted books you should read this immediately because you won't be sorry!

Wow.........JUST wow!!!! Callie has outdone herself! I was given an arc for an honest review.

Every book I read I think can’t possibly be better, but this one, OMG.....I 💕💕 it so much. Fix and Sera have chemistry that can only be compared to Zee and Sloane. The banter between them just flows so smoothly. I was laughing with all the snarky comebacks and just the NO filter filthy talk from Fix....damn!

He is definitely on the dark side but once you find out why, you can’t help but get why he’s like he is. And Sera, she’s had quite the life dealt to her but she’s risen above it. Somehow she is drawn to Fix and he brings out the real her but holy SHIT with that ending......if it hadn’t been 3:15 am I would have screamed! The next book better be coming ASAP!!!!!!! 😉

On a side note, when Sera said she was from Seattle, my first thought was Holy Sh@t......Fix and Zeth totally need to meet up. They could be a menace together 😆
