Krystal writes as USA Today Bestselling Author KL Donn. Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, she has over 50 published books in differing romance genres. She enjoys making her readers cry as they go on a deep journey of love and loss through each book.
Experiencing her own insta-love at 17, Krystal has been with her husband for 18 years and they share 4 beautiful children together.
Fun facts about KL: Perpetual romantic. Coffee addict. Sarcasm lover. Give her an action flick over a romance. But a romance book over action. She’s weird like that. Did she mention coffee addict? Closet shopaholic. Beach lover. Coffee addict, it bears repeating. Again. Husband obsessed. Hers that is, you can keep yours. Mom of 6, well 7 if you count the husband. Oh and 2 of those are a cat & dog, that are confused about their species.
This was a good book, however I only rated it a 3 star due to the H being a manwhore and it constantly being mentioned. I knew he was like this going in because he was mentioned in "Safe in His Arms" but I was hoping for a little bit of celibacy (especially since meeting h). Even though she was under age. But something he said made me think it had only been 6 months since he had a "date". I don't like reading about how the he screwed everything and to have him think back on being with OW either. He compared how he could go 2 maybe 3 times with any other woman but with the h, she knocked his ass out after 1 time. This may not be an issue with others, and that's perfectly fine. You like what you like..no judgement here. -no cheating once together -manwhore -good epilogues with kids -dual POV -alpha possessive H So give this one a go if you don't mind hearing about manwhore past. It really would have been a 4 or 5 star for me otherwise.
This was a short and steamy taboo tale, and what a treat it was. This was a perfectly safe read and would recommend this story.
Celeste has just turned eighteen and her life has been dictated by her over bearing absent parents, she has had a crush on her next door neighbours best friend and work partner since the day that she set eye on him. And now with her parents away for the weekend and Marty housesitting for Grace she has decided to try and seduce him. She knows he is a player but can she really just spend the night with him and walk away or os her heart more involved than even she realised?
Marty has desired the girl next door since before he really should but as a police detective he draws the line at taking advantage of the beautiful teenager Celeste. That is until she tries to seduce him, he knows of he takes what she is offering she will be his and his alone forever. He is claiming her and no one is stopping them from being together.
Perfect alpha male and sweet heroine who are perfect for one another.
Martin Lynch is a Detective for the NYPD and he’s house sitting for his best friend/partner Onyx. His friend warned him to keep himself under control and to stay away from Celeste, his 18 year old neighbor. Celeste is a senior in high school and she’s wanted Marty ever since she first met him two years ago. Her parents are away for the weekend and she knows Marty is alone next door so she sees this as her chance to make a move. She tempts him by sunbathing naked and rubbing lotion all over her body. Marty’s never been one to hold off on going after what he wants, especially someone he already considers to be his.
I’ve never been one to hold off on going after what I want, let alone something I already consider mine. And Celeste most certainly is mine. From now until the end of fucking time, I’m going to keep her dirty as fuck and happy as hell.
“ Tell me something, Celeste. “ “ What ?” “ What do I have to do to get inside this sweet cunt of yours ? What do I have to do to spill my seed inside your belly and watch as it drips out and down the crack of your ass ? What do I have to do to be buried balls deep in this tight little ass of yours ? “
He’s rough. Demanding. Hard. He takes everything he wants from me and gives nothing in return. Biting my tongue, I hiss, but he sucks, making every pulse point in my body throb with pleasure.
I loved this quick story. I’ve been waiting for Marty’s story. A little bump in the road for his HEA. This is not the sweet story like Safe in His Arms, this is a dirty, fun, sexy romp.
What I liked: I liked how Celeste’s(h) dad just wanted what was best for her (even if he did lie at first). I liked how Martin(H) didn’t go all crazy but also wanted Celeste to be happy.
What I didn’t like: It’s sad that Celeste’s mom never got better and continued to be an alcoholic.

Descriptive Sex: Yes
Final thoughts: This was a nice quick read and I actually liked this one better than the first one.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Marty knew it would be hard to house sit for his partner Onyx. Only because of the girl next door, Celeste. She had tempted him for so long but he wasn't going to go there. She was too young and that's all there was to it. Too bad she didn't get the memo. Celeste has always felt unwanted. Now she is eighteen and about to go away to college. What better way to start her adult life then to finally know what it is like to be in Marty's arms. She knows he is a one and done guy and her heart will probably get broken. But she can't resist one night in his arms, one night to feel special and wanted. There's no harm in that, right?
Never in the world has there been a more appropriate title than this one! Dirty is amazingly just that! Marty is a character we met in Safe in His Arms and he has met his match in Celeste. These two are so clearly meant for one another. Older guy, younger girl but so much attraction! I had so much fun devouring this short sexy story. Have some ice water standing by, you are going to need it! 5 stars for Dirty!
This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. I devoured this book within half an hour and was satisfied throughout. Martin has resisted Celeste for a little while due to her age. Celeste is eighteen and has a crush on police detective named Martin. Martin was mentioned in Grace and Onyx’s story. The chemistry between Martin and Celeste was clear to see and I liked the passion between them. I have to admit that Celeste’s parents confused me. They were mostly absent in Celeste’s life and controlled all aspects of her life. Yet as soon as Martin and Celeste got together, they entered and tried to mess it up before slowly coming around to them being together. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is a nice read.
Marty and Celeste, where to begin with how much I loved their story? Kl Donn has a magic touch, this taboo treat blew my mind. It's the perfect mix of taboo, sweet, dramatic and twisted parental behaviours. Marty is an alpha, hot detective while Celeste is the sweet, naughty dream wrapped up in his partners neighbour. I swooned, smiled and laughed reading Dirty. I devoured it and couldn't put it down until it was done.
I just had to read about Marty after meeting him in, Safe in His Arms. He was brought down to his knees by his best friend/partner's neighbor. Celeste who just turned 18 has always had a thing for the homicide detective, Marty and now that she is 18 she plans to tease him into doing something about it. Super short, Hot, insta-love, can't get enough of these stories.
Celeste found herself obsessing over someone she thought she couldn’t have. Marty was fantasizing about a girl he knows he shouldn’t. Both of them decide to ignore the things they shouldn’t want and give into their desires. Cute instalove story that shows love comes in all ages. Great story.

It is always such a treat for me when an author that I follow can switch from heavy to light-hearted stories that don’t detract from their writing styles.
KL Donn did it again, this time with Marty and Celeste, in Dirty: A Naughty Tale
Detective Martin Lynch, partner of Detective Onyx Inwood of the NYPD, was introduced in Safe, In His Arms, when he was, to my opinion, a pain in the ass for his partner’s woman, Grace.
Turns out he was obsessed with Inwood’s neighbour, Celeste, who was, at that time, under-aged. When Inwood asked Martin to house-sit, and at the same time look after Celeste – now 18 – when her parents were away, sparks flew, and the rest, as they say, is an over-the-top gooey, chocolaty-goodness you would want to sink your teeth on in one huge bite!
Dear reader, KL Donn is a tease. She pulls you in, hook, line and sinker, with every story that comes out of her fingertips. Go ahead and take a chance ‘coz I assure you, you won’t regret it!
I loved getting Marty and Celeste’s story. The glimpse that we saw in Onyx and Grace’s story left me impatiently waiting for this one. Grace has known who the man for her was since she had laid eyes on Detective Lynch but she knew that her wants would look too Dirty in others eyes. Marty has kept his eye on little Celeste since way before she was of age. Now with the timing just right and her turning of age. He knew it was the perfect time to claim his woman. Loved how these Marty was all in and new that Celeste was his forever. He was definitely swoon worthy. KL definitely knows how to write a story. She knows how to bring out the emotions in her characters. Loved this one, it was definitely my kind of Dirty!!
Good book. I liked how Marty had been fighting off his interest in Celeste until she was legal. Celeste has had a crush on Marty longer than anyone knows. Marty has liked her ever since she spilled an ice cold pitcher on him, he tells her chin up there’s a lot worse things out there. Now with Celeste recently turned 18, being home alone and him house sitting next door it seems their time has come. When they come together it’s instant fire works, Marty vows that he’s keeping her forever but what happens to their relationship when her parents find out?
What a perfect weekend! A surprise release by this author had me happy dancing!! I just got very dirty.....and I loved every minute!!!! Holy crap! Marty is a true force to be reckoned with, he has been struggling with his attraction to Celeste, but enough is enough! He is out to claim his girl!! Holy hotness Batman! It's a little bit naughty and a whole lot of hotness!! Please go one click this now!!
Good Golly Miss Molly Dirty was smoking hot. There are not enough words to explain just how hot and dirty this wonderful and exotic and filthy story between Martin and Celeste is. To know that kind of love and have it be so sensual and dirty all at once is something every woman should experience at least once in their life. KL you did it again and good lord I think I need a cold shower now because Dirty was smokin hot.
This book is a quick and steamy read. KL Donn really never disappoints and always delivers. I like how it graces a bit of a taboo with Martin being older and having fallen for Celeste when she was only 16 years old. He is a caveman that is determined to finally make her his once she turns 18.
I love this little naughty tale and can only recommend it if you are looking for a quick read in your library.
