Dirty Duet #2
Dirty Filthy Rich Love
The conclusion to the story begun in the USA Today Bestselling Dirty Filthy Rich Men.
I've discovered Donovan Kincaid's secret.
It's dirty and filthy and rich - as dirty and filthy and rich as he is - and it haunts me as much as he ever did.
Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there's an ocean between us, and I'm not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.
Yet I'm willing to try.
He doesn't know this yet, but this time I'm the one with the power. And maybe - just maybe - if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.
And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
Oh my dirty filthy goodness!!!!! Donovan Kincaid is mine!!!! And also, I am claiming Dylan Locke as well. With that out of the way, let’s begin my review.
Laurelin Paige...you continue to slay with me with your words and characters!!! There aren’t enough words to express how much I love reading your books but just in case, you haven’t heard it enough. I LOVE YOU and these fictional characters that you have brought to life.
He did reach the very center of me, I realized. Not just with sex, not just with his cock, but with everything he did. He was the only man I knew, the only man I'd ever met who could reach so far into me that he could see my darkest secrets and understand my most intimate self.”
Dirty Filthy Rich Love was one sinful decadent treat. It was dirty, filthy, and dangerously intoxicating!!! If I could get drunk off Paige’s visceral, erotic and raw prose then I would be highly inebriated right now. That’s how much this book possessed me. The much highly anticipated conclusion of Donovan and Sabrina’s story was pure bliss.
His lips were hot, his kiss desperate. Or maybe it was my kiss that was desperate.”
Dirty Filthy Rich Love picks up where it last left off. Donovan is in Japan and his return is uncertain and Sabrina has just learned of Donovan’s secret and his obsessive kind of love. It should scare Sabrina away but it doesn’t. It spoke volumes of Donovan’s love for her.
I've thought of so many ways I want to fuck you." He whispered in my ear. "So many ways I want to make you come. Every way I can imagine. That’s how many ways I’m going to make you come. Every way I can imagine.”
As much as Donovan should stay away, he can’t. His love for Sabrina is his oxygen. His life. His everything. She is it for him. She completes him like no one can. And so when Donovan returns, he makes his presence known.
Sabrina can’t stay away from Donovan. He’s her drug. He consumes her like no other person could. His love and raw presence runs deep in her veins. He’s her heart. Her everything. She is well aware that Donovan’s love is different. It's obsession and in such he shows his love in a non-traditional way. While their love may not be normal, she doesn’t care because their love was meant to be dirty, filthy, raw, and real. It was them.
This scouring. This primal fucking. This savage violation. This exorcism. It declared me as his, and his alone. It left absolutely no room for anyone else to possess me. There was also pleasure. He always made sure that I felt the beauty in our filthiness, and this time was no different.”
The push and pull connection brewing between Sabrina and Donovan was intense and that is putting it mildly. Honestly, there are no words to describe their connection. They just fit together. Two fated souls colliding. With Sabrina’s need for dirty, filthy sex and Donovan’s fulfillment of her fantasies, they both found a connection. A bond. A real love. As their obsession for each other runs deep what happens when Sabrina discovers another secret Donovan has kept from her, will she push him away when he promised her complete honesty?
He kissed me again, tender and brief, but it was powerful in its simplicity, like the single square a pawn moved when it finished its journey across the board and was crowned queen.”
Laurelin Paige has delivered one of my favorite duets of 2017. This book was everything that I wanted, craved and needed. The writing was sexy as hell. Her words were like silk. It was seductive, alluring, and intoxicating. The execution of the story line was on point as it had me obsessed as to how everything would turn out for Sabrina and Donovan. 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 love. 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 most importantly real.
So if you are looking forward to an addicting and intoxicating read, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to read the DIRTY DUET. Trust me, you will want to meet Donovan Kincaid.

*This is NOT a standalone. You MUST read Dirty Filthy Rich Men first.
Once again Laurelin Paige used her signature voice to tell a brilliant, gut-wrenching and compelling love story that will stick with me for years to come.
Nobody writes a broken hero the way that Laurelin Paige does. Nobody writes these men who are so unbelievably fucked up yet somehow have an incredible amount of love to offer (and that I'm absolutely willing to a accept!) These are the men I'm not supposed to love but that I can't help but become obsessed with. This is Donovan Kincaid.
My biggest fear going into this book was that there would be no real push and pull between Sabrina and Donovan after everything they'd gone through and the things that Sabrina discovered. I did NOT want them to just fuck it out. I did not want Donovan to be magically healed by Sabrina. If I'm being completely honest I will tell you that at 50% of the book I was getting nervous that this story wasn't going to live up to my expectations. Things were moving along pretty steadily and steady was not what I was looking for but I just knew that LP wouldn't let me down.
Don't get me wrong there was plenty of fucking it out. There was just enough push and pull that it felt authentic. Sabrina wasn't a pushover and, while Donovan definitely showed growth, he wasn't magically healed. Even better, Sabrina recognized that he didn't need to be. However, she wasn't a doormat for him either. There was plenty of negotiations and their relationship was far from perfect and nothing about them remained steady for long. That's the magic of Laurelin Paige's writing, never expect to know what's coming.

After finishing 'Dirty Filthy Rich Men', I could not wait to get my hands on the next book. I am a glutton for punishment and Donovan Kincaid was just the kind of high-handed asshole that I love to hate. I had to have more of him, even knowing that it would be painful.
When 'Dirty Filthy Rich Love' showed up on my Kindle shelf, I dived right in. I couldn't wait to lose myself in the emotional tug of war between Sabrina and Donovan. Their relationship was volatile and intense.
As expected, Donovan and Sabrina haven't seen the last of each other. While Sabrina tries to put on a brave face and deal with the bombshell that was dropped in her lap, she can't deny that she is pining for the man that she should be afraid of. Clearly, he is obsessed and she should be running for the hills. Nonetheless, it is him that she wants.
Luckily, Donovan isn't able to forget about her so easily either. He may have intended to keep his distance, even leaving the country to get away from Sabrina, but old habits die hard. When he is given the opportunity to work his way back into her life, he seizes it.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and felt that it was a nice conclusion to Sabrina and Donovan's story. That being said, this book had a completely different feel for me than the first book. It seemed tamer and lacked a lot of the passion and angst that made the first book so irresistible for me.
I also wanted a LOT more groveling on Donovan's part. I absolutely hate it when the hero does something deplorable and a simple "sorry" gets him off the hook. That is pretty much what happens here. It made all my anger seem invalid and deemed my emotional response shallow.
In the end, I a 3.5 star rating is fitting. It was great, but not as good as the first book in my opinion. I still liked it, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Then again, maybe I had high-hopes for this one.

5 "I Love The Way You Love Me" Stars!
Sabrina Lind is a gorgeous 27 yr. old woman who lives in New York & loves her job as the director of marketing strategy at Reach, Inc. Her love life is more up in the air. She's crazy about a complicated, beautiful man named Donovan Kincaid. He keeps her on edge never knowing where she stands with him. She's addicted to his body & the way he makes her feel when they're together. He gives her something no other man can give her. He's intense, controlling & possessive, but she keeps coming back for more. She soon discovers secrets he's been keeping & feels betrayed and hurt, but still wants him. She wants to see if there's still a chance for them, & thinks if they can just talk & have everything out in the open, maybe they can finally be together. She wants him to stop running when things get tough. She needs explanations, & less distance between them. She's willing to try & wonders if what they have could be love?
-Donovan. Fucking Donovan in his tailored suit and five o'clock shadow. Walking toward him was like deciding to walk through fire when I was already covered with first-degree burns. It hurt like I couldn't describe. But I was a girl who lived in darkness. His fire sure looked bright.
-He knew exactly what he did to me.
-He knew me. He knew what I needed.
-He knew how to make me sing; like he had me memorized.
-He pinned my eyes once more, and maybe that was the most erotic part of the whole thing- the way he looked at me. The way he always looked at me.
This is one of the best series I've ever read, and one of my favorite book boyfriends. I absolutely adore Donovan Kincaid! He's totally obsessed with Sabrina. It's crazy, passionate, & hot as hell! He's 100% alpha & so damn sexy. I loved how they met in college, & the bit of a love triangle. I also liked how in this book Sabrina has more power in the relationship, & we get to see a more vulnerable side of Donovan. I loved this book & this man so much! Hands down my favorite Laurelin Paige series!!!
-"I noticed you the first day you walked into the classroom, Sabrina," Donovan said. "That's when it began for me. And it never stopped."
-I belong to you. You belong to me.
-"You are mine, Sabrina."
-"You are my world."

5 "Don't knock my kink. I don't knock yours."
Laurelin Paige is not messing around! Sabrina and Donovan brought that fire with Dirty Filthy Rich Love! I'm in book boyfriend heaven right now! It's been days since I finished this book and I'm still thinking about it. IT WAS THAT GOOD!!! Utter perfection!
Dirty Filthy Rich Men picks up shortly after the events of book 1. Sabrina is still trying to make sense of things while putting on a brave public face. Luckily her sister Audrey is visiting and keeping her company. I loved these two together. Audrey is spunky and sassy, but also sweet and smart. She perfectly balances Sabrina’s disposition. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of her soon! That story is going to be fracking awesome!!!
Back to the current story… the main point of this review will focus on the perfection of Donovan in all his alpha-hole glory. I enjoyed a lot of things about this book, as I mentioned above--Audrey is a fabulous character. Weston, as always, is entertaining. We also meet several new characters that grabbed my attention, namely Dylan and Cade. However, Donovan is the showstopper.
"His love dazzled me. It was rich and fierce and dazzling."
He’s still as uber-alpha as ever. He’s high-handed, overbearing, and a teensy bit obsessed with Sabrina. On the flip side, we find out the lengths he’ll go to protect her, love her, and take care of her. Y'all think what you want about me, but I have no problems with my man doing what he needs to do to protect me and neither does Sabrina! #LIKEAMFBOSS
Yeah, he's a psychopath, but it's okay because he loves me.
OMG! How amazing is that? Every girl should be so lucky! He’s everything I want in an alpha-male BBF. His character grows so much over the course of the series. It’s character development at its finest!
Donovan and Sabrina’s relationship is unconventional, but it works for them and it worked for me in a big way. They are sexy AF!
So…. once again for those in the back that didn't hear me the first time--I loved DFRL and I’m totally head over heels in love with Donovan Kincaid! LOL This series is one of the most best I've read. It's unexpected, exciting, intoxicating, and left me breathless! Another TOP FAVE from a brilliant writer. Kudos, Miss Paige! Preorder your copy now!

Here I sit two days after reading Dirty Filthy Rich Love by Laurelin Paige, SMITTEN, as I am still flying high from this whirlwind of a romance that was my HIGH. Alluring. Arousing. Addicting. Dirty Filthy Rich Love is one INTOXICATING DRUG!!! A splash of suspense, sky-high smolder, a sprinkle of sweetness and swoon, a little angst, and some thrills and chills make up this PERFECT ROMANCE: Dirty Filthy Rich Love. This HEADY HIT was MY perfect romance.
Laurelin Paige wrote the perfect mix of dominant alpha paired with fierce heroine in Dirty Filthy Rich Love, a love story that SEDUCES and SCORCHES like a powerful and passionate kiss. This is a tale that twists around you where you're fully IMMERSED and highly INTOXICATED. This is a story that steals your mind, body, and soul. There is no other way to read this SINFULLY GOOD romance except to do a deep dive, sinking in until you can only feel the words. You have to go ALL THE WAY IN!!!
Oh Donovan 'Kiss-Me-Now' Kincaid...where do I begin?!? There are heroes in romances and then there is Donovan Kincaid: the ULTIMATE HERO who is PURE HEART-POUNDING PERFECTION!!! Donovan is the best mix of dark knight meets super hero, sinner and saint, an insanely hot and intense ALL ALPHA, and the sweet-sigh-inducing PROTECTOR! I couldn't love his hero hard enough!
Beautiful Sabrina Lind is as smart as she is sexy. This heroine in strength in spades and she won't let others walk over her.
"You hold the cards right now, Sabrina," he said, his nose almost touching mine. "But don't begin to think I've forgotten who's in charge."
Sabrina now wields the most power. I loved how she relished and ruled her new role.
"You wanted to know what you are."
"Okay."
"What you are is mine."
SWEET SIGH!!! Donovan POSSESSED every part of me!!! His dominating words were a shot of heat straight to my thighs...so alpha and so HOT!!! The chemistry between Donovan and Sabrina is combustible, so electric that it's a pull neither can fight...so ENTHRALLING! This hero and heroine are MAGICAL together!
"There are still a thousand ways I intend to make you come, and another hundred thousand I haven't thought of yet."
I could not devour Donovan's dirty and dominant words fast enough...SO INCREDIBLY HOT!!!
His taste was the best drug, his lips so firm and familiar, it was like going to church.
This story reveals everything in this series' enticing end. It's time to lay all cards on the table and uncover secrets and sin so the truth can set this hero and heroine free. Dirty Filthy Rich Love spreads itself wide open and bares it all in one captivating cat and mouse game that must finally end.
I couldn't see inside him, but I could feel. He was making me feel everything he felt, and it was raw and jagged and dirty and hard.
Dirty. Filthy. Rich. Love. They all collide in one tantalizing tale that may be a fairytale after all. Dirty Filthy Rich Love is as SOULFUL as it is SCORCHING, so full of heart and the hottest of heat. I was thoroughly SEDUCED by this scintillating story that is simply FLAWLESS!!! Dirty Filthy Rich Love, and its Dirty Duet series, is now one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE ROMANCES! I LOVED this brilliant book and series so hard!
Laurelin Paige has done it again and written a book that rendered me BREATHLESS and nearly brought me to my knees!!! This wonderful writer is a master at letting readers take a deep dive in characters' heads, telling their secrets but keeping a sliver of mystery that lingers like a pending storm. With scenes that make you blaze and blush, Laurelin Paige brings you from reader to wanton woman in a frenzied flash. This author writes the most alpha of alphas, so deliciously dominant and dirty! I never thought I'd meet a Laurelin Paige hero as alpha as Hudson, but Donovan delivers it all: the sexy, the swoon, and the seduction!
Deliciously dirty, heart-stopping sexy, and soul-swooning, Dirty Filthy Rich Love DOMINATES. ALL. THE. WAY!!! I could not devour this sinfully sexy romance fast enough. My mind is still stuck in this tale, wrapped up in this mastery of words that wielded themselves straight to my heart like a sword. I am UTTERLY ADDICTED to this scintillating story and series that OWNED ME...so incredibly good! Unwavering. Unputdownable. Unforgettable. Dirty Filthy Rich Love still OWNS every ounce of me.
"I always wanted to be in your world."
"You are my world."
A TOP 2017 MUST-MEET ROMANCE!!!

4 STARS
*Pervy shivers*
Oh man. This duet.
*pervy shudders*
It was downright sinful. The conclusion takes off immediately where Dirty Filthy Rich Men ended; leaving Sabrina in the aftermath of her revelations about Donovan.
Obsession. Posessiveness. Lust. All the lines got blurred during their whirlwind romance. A romance based on nothing more than a shared kink and an undeniable connection. But was it more? Can a true relationship be formed on something that was so jagged. That is the answer we get with Dirty Filthy Rich Love.
Donovan never expected for his heart to get involved or to even give it to anyone else again after so many years of hiding it behind impenetrable walls. But if his actions are anything to go by, he's done just that with Sabrina. And though he was willing to walk away from her to protect her from himself, the pull between them is much too strong.
Laurelin pulls the reader deeper into the orbit of this couple and their dark brand of kink. She throws them right into the epicenter of their storm and it was impossible to tear your attention away for even a second. I've always loved Donovan's intensity, but I loved seeing his vulnerable side even more. The man is all sorts of delicious with his possessive and controlling tendencies. I loved seeing Sabrina put him in his place while giving into him at the same time. I loved watching the the sparks between them blaze hotter and hotter until it explodes into something sinfully delicious.
The author brings the story in a full circle with the events that we first read in book one and gives the reader an immensely satisfying ending.

Right then, right there, with my hands tied behind my back, my cheek pressed against the wall, and his hand clasped at my throat, I finally understood the depth of what he felt for me. And so I surrendered.

"No,” I laughed. "You're not." I sobered. "And yet you are....
You're also the villain, don't forget that."
"Lucky for me you’re the kind of girl who likes to fuck the villain."

So...Donovan...where have you been?
“This isn’t what it looks like”
Wait a minute. Someone told me you were in France. Yes? And were you alone there?
“I meant to tell you—I saw the early footage from the France campaign. Sun Le Chen looks stunning.”
And how about Sabrina?
“It was dinner, and I’m in the goddamn car with you. I came back for you.”
Do you love her?
I stared him right in the eye. “You love me.”
“I do…Can you handle that?”
How long have you been stalking her? You know that she knows.
"So," he said. "Where do you want to start?"
"How about the beginning?"
"A very good place to start."
And will you be honest with her from now on?
"Everything was in that file," he said after a few seconds. "You know everything."
No, she doesn’t! You still haven’t changed!
“Let's talk about this. Let me explain. It was better if you weren't there, Sabrina."
It’s who you are Donovan. Can she really accept you?
"You're wrong," he said, as he walked toward me. "I might not love you in the pretty traditional way that you're looking for, like some hero, like Weston might. But I do love you. Everything I did—everything I do—is because I love you."
I ached for him.
Every limb, every joint, every cell ached with the pain of his words. Because I loved the way he loved me. I preferred the way he loved me a million times to the way a man like Weston could—or any other man could even dare to try.
Laurelin Paige can definitely create the most delicious manipulative stalkers (Hint Hint: Hudson Pierce)!
Thumbs-up for her and her possessive men!
I enjoyed every bit of the Dirty Duet.

➦I'm very pleased with this conclusion of the Dirty Duet. It was fast paced, captivating and deliciously sexy. I appreciated the fact that this wasn't drawn out and I could keep my entire focus on this book from start to finish. I also plowed through it in one day. Because that's what you do when you realize the book is to be released the next day.
➦Even though I didn't find this second installment as steamy as the first one, I've thoroughly enjoyed these two main characters together. I won't lie and admit that I've enjoyed the hero more thoroughly. lol
➦What? Anyways, so as I was saying, the hero continues to --you can stop watching that top gif now, btw-- show his super controlling and overprotective alpha side. If you love yourself a tortured and possessive hero, then you will definitely enjoy the one in this duet. Plus a bit of kink never hurt anyone.

Donovan #fucking Kincade, indeed!!! Brilliant people ... just fucking brilliant!
Two things ......
1. This love story between Donovan and Sabrina is ridiculously phenomenal. Pay attention. Keep an open mind and you will understand and feel why it rivals some of the greatest love stories in history!
2. As far as duets go .... well done Laurelin Paige. The story forked exactly where it needed to in order to keep readers one foot off the cliff, kicking and screaming for more ... well, fucking done! I myself wanted to send her hate mail after book 1 ended LOL
Let's talk about the writing for a second because I'm not going to tell you anything about this journey at all. THAT you have to experience with a blank slate and no prejudice. This story will make your nerve ending tingle. The hair in the back of your neck will stand. Why? Because honestly, this story was unpredictable. I want to tell you that I saw it coming, but I really didn't. It's not that the love affair/HEA was a shock, no, it's how everyone gets there that was a complete new world for me. I read a lot of books. I'm reading ALL the time. It takes a lot to shock me. I was shocked. And I was deliciously impressed. And for that alone, EVERYONE SHOULD JUST ONE CLICK. DO IT RIGHT NOW!
I've read this entire duet twice now and on the second go around I found new turns/twists that I missed the first time so read this carefully. Savor it. Enjoy it. This story is not a dime a dozen story. It is unique and just so well written and I can't stop singing its praises! Get to reading kids, I promise you won't regret it!

Donovan and his fucking delicious mouth... Ahh how can't I love him? 😍😍😍
“He lowered himself over me, holding me closer and tighter than he usually did when he fucked me. “You’re mine,” he repeated as he moved inside me, establishing his rhythm, steady and brisk.
“And you’re mine,” I said, breathless.”

“You wanted to know what you are.”
“Okay.”
“What you are is mine.”
Not bad. But i prefer the first book, i found it to be way better than this one.

1,5 stars.
Oh boy. This was not good. Where shall I start?
The part where Donovan confesses to interfering with her entire life by hiring a PI to follow her around? The part where Donovan confesses to having cameras in her home that he only "sometimes" watches? (they are only there for security reasons because god knows everybody needs a camera in their bedroom, you know, just to be on the safe side) The part where Donovan confesses to being the reason why she was or wasn't hired/qualified for certain jobs, internships, or even getting back into Harvard? The part where she immediately forgives him for every crazy stalker thing he did out of love for her? Even when she found out his previous fiancee got ran off the road by the PI he hired, who ended up getting her killed in an aggressive car chase? (Sabrina totally thinks it's not D's fault, for the record, so he shouldn't blame himself... Yes my mouth was hanging open too)
Or the part where Sabrina, who was almost raped twice by the same random loser, wants Donovan to role play with her, acting like he was a rapist? You know, one of those therapeutic fake rapists, so she could get over almost being raped, twice, by said loser (who randomly popped up in the last 15% of the book just so Donovan and his handy cameras could save the day! AKA: getting past the fact that Sabrina finally had the balls to tell her stalker he crossed the line, even if she completely forgot about where she drew it in the first place, and besides -taps watch like a maniac- we needed to get them going at it like bunnies again asap before the end of the book.)
I'm okay with the part where she thinks their fucked up sex life is somehow about her taking control of things and feeling dirty and empowered at the same time but I'm sorry, it's really nothing like that if you look at the things without sex goggles. If you are traumatized by the near rape and feeling like you've been horribly violated then the person you are looking for is a the-ra-pist. Not the rapist (even if it's a fake one).
The amount of ruined panties, her being instantly ready to get fucked by Donovan, all day, every day was just completely ridiculous. She wants to be taken serious and be respected by her team at work but gets off on sucking Donovan's dick (who is technically her boss for christ's sake!) in his office in the middle of the day while leaving the door wide open. Yeah, you show them how professional you are Sabrina, atta girl! I'm sure everybody will respect the hell out of you when you moan all over the office floor, making sure everybody knows just how qualified you are for theblowjob
I had a lot of fun with the first book and was willing to overlook some of the ridiculous stuff, but at this point I'm sure Donovan could have killed her parents himself and she would have been okay with it because Donovan really really loves her and probably had a good reason for it. 99,9% of Sabrina's actions are directed by her leaking vag and Donovan telling her what to do because lord knows the girl has no mind of her own.
Screw this book.

HOLY SH*T! What a freaking thrilling finale to a magnificent Dirty Duet. I am telling you this is one of my favorite books this year. It has been 4 months since Dirty Filthy Rich Men came out and this is 100% worth the wait.
Not a standalone, read in order:
Dirty Filthy Rich Boys – Sabrina and Donovan met while she was at Harvard. Donovan was her TA and Sabrina has a major crush on him. Sabrina is innocent and naïve, she had no idea what she got herself into pinning after the sexiest man on campus. Donovan ends up saving her but at the same time destroys her heart. An unfortunate event happens that forces Sabrina to quit Harvard and move back home for good. Donovan is nothing but a distant memory.
In Dirty Filthy Rich Men - Ten years later, Donovan and Sabrina cross paths again. He is sort of her boss, but this time Sabrina is not intimidated. She is all grown up and wiser. She has some beefs to settle with Donovan, and she intends to do so. I love Donovan and Sabrina’s relationship – they are attracted to each other and hated each other at the same time, but in the end the magnetic force that pulls them together is too great to deny. Donovan and Sabrina carried on a totally erotic, sick, twisted, roller coaster relationship. At the end of this book, Sabrina discovered a huge secret that Donovan knows more about Sabrina than she ever intended to. Sabrina fells violated and angry - she wants answers but Donovan skipped town.
This last book Dirty Filthy Rich Love – You get all the answers. You will find out the real Donovan – the lies and secrets he has been hiding over a decade, but boy does he have reasons for every single one of them. Donovan broke Sabrina heart, her trust and she despise him for it, or does she? Well, lucky for us the makeup sex is incredibly scorching. I think Laurelin has really outdone herself with this duet. The characters in this book are brilliant. Donovan is a complicated creature – sexy, brooding, alpha and manipulative. He can be vile, cruel and infuriating but what you will find in this last book is that he is endearing, caring, and has the best of intentions. The guy is flawed and the things he did were totally sick but I love every freaking minute of it. Is there such thing as loving someone “too much”? Well, with Donovan, there is. Sabrina is beautiful, smart, and driven. She was innocent at first but I realize that she is just as twisted as Donovan which makes their relationship a whole lot more erotic, greedy, and panty dropping hot!!!!
This duet is hands down the most thrilling, exhilarating books I have read all year. I re-read the first book and I get the same heart pounding excitement as if I read it for the very first time. A lot of times, I will find a duet dragging a bit in the middle but not this one – fast paced, intriguing -- a page turner cover to cover. I love the dialogue – superb writing skills. I also love the story development - every time I think okay he confessed everything, another revelation comes up which surprised the hell out of me. All I am going to say is “thank fuck” for the ending. I am so wound tight – now I can finally breathe. This duet is FANTASTIC – CAPTIVATED, OBSESSED, ADDICTED, MUST READ!!!!

I usually don't do this but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this :
This ENTIRE book was pointless.
Sabrina is the most stupidly pathetic doormat of a heroine I have ever had the misfortune to come across.
This book was so boring, I don't even know why I picked it up considering I didn't like the first one that much. In the first book we get a bunch of nothingness and some kinky sex but the author was kind enough to make this book about Sabrina's mental health, because she was crazy. She really needed help, I loathed her, she is the absolute worst. This girl could not make up her damn mind.
The ENTIRE book was full of conflict. You don't know soap opera until you have read this book.
Every page had some drama happening, wash ,rinse and repeat. There's drama that you just love to read and then there's drama you just can't stand, this was it.
Sabrina was so insecure, soo bloody insecure. Sabrina can't go a day without being jealous, if there was ground for jealously, i'd understand, this chick just got jealous for the most stupid reasons. I wanted Donovan to cheat on her so that she can be heartbroken, I would have loved that to happen. So not only was Sabrina insecure, she was totally fine with McCreepy Donovan, her stalker. Donovan has her watched and has camera's in her home, without her knowledge, this bozo got angry for 2 seconds and forgot about it, how crazy is that.
This book is supposed to be where they fell in love but that did not happen, insecure Sabrina did her thing and made me dislike her until I wasn't interested in any of her problems.
I would not recommend except you are the kind of person that likes having headaches then this book is for you.

In the first book we get a bunch of nothingness and some kinky sex but the author was kind enough to make this book about Sabrina's mental health, because she was crazy. She really needed help, I loathed her, she is the absolute worst. This girl could not make up her damn mind.
The ENTIRE book was full of conflict. You don't know soap opera until you have read this book.
Every page had some drama happening, wash ,rinse and repeat. There's drama that you just love to read and then there's drama you just can't stand, this was it.
Sabrina was so insecure, soo bloody insecure. Sabrina can't go a day without being jealous, if there was ground for jealously, i'd understand, this chick just got jealous for the most stupid reasons. I wanted Donovan to cheat on her so that she can be heartbroken, I would have loved that to happen. So not only was Sabrina insecure, she was totally fine with McCreepy Donovan, her stalker. Donovan has her watched and has camera's in her home, without her knowledge, this bozo got angry for 2 seconds and forgot about it, how crazy is that.
This book is supposed to be where they fell in love but that did not happen, insecure Sabrina did her thing and made me dislike her until I wasn't interested in any of her problems.
I would not recommend except you are the kind of person that likes having headaches then this book is for you.

Amazing!!! This book far surpassed my expectations! I'm blown away by what was revealed in this conclusion to Sabrina and Donovan's story. This is so hard because I want to say everything that I loved, but I can't! Things get revealed you wouldn't have expected in the first book. It would spoil the reveals if I say anything. Gah!
Just know that I'm probably crazy for loving Donovan even more after what we learn in this book. I don't know what it says about me to whole heartedly approve of what he does, but I don't care. This is fiction and I thought it was romantic.
I predicted in the first book that this might just be able to compete with this authors Fixed series and I can now say that it does. Plus, we are going to get more! I'm so excited and can't wait to get the others stories. Laurelin Page sucked me right into the other characters making me want to beg for their books soon. I'm not sure who's I want next...probably Dylan and Aubrey because who doesn't like a hot older man/younger woman story??? ARC provided by author.

Sigh
There were so many things I liked… and so many I didn’t 😒. I think I need to stop rereading pandemic books 🤣. All those 5 stars are gonna drop to 2 or 3 stars 🤣.
This book continues from where book 1 left off: Sabrina finding a file that demonstrates Donovan has been obsessively watching/spying on her for the last ten years, which is something he previously did before his dead fiancé died (he confesses this in book 1). Donovan leaves the country and is in Europe when Sabrina finds this all out and is left wondering what to do with all the info in her file.
Donovan, of course, isn’t answering her messages 🙄.
Weeks later, she’s at a restaurant, hanging out with Weston (OM from book 1), her sister Audrey and another one of her bosses, Dylan, when she walks by a table on the way back from the restroom and sees Donovan… with the OW from book 1 😒…
😐
Don’t worry, it’s not what it looks like 😐.
Donovan and Sabrina have a loooooot to talk about… and a lot of feelings to comb through.
Good thing Sabrina easily forgives him 😐.
What I liked: potential SPOILERS
—the angst: there are times I’m in the mood for it, and this delivers in SPADES! It adds the nuances I like in my books- but I’ll also comment down below
—the 🔥. I mean. Duh 🤣. I couldn’t appreciate the first 🔥scene as much because I was so pissed and felt sucker punched (Sabrina sees pictures of the ow in Europe which she didn’t know about and Donovan goes after her and pleasures her on his knees 🙃😉), but the other ones were 🥵. The CNC one was especially 😮💨 💦 (and has lived rent-free in my head for years).
—the CNC scenes 👀. We get two of them, and both were 🥵. The second one was important because of the SA Sabrina had just experienced. He knows EXACTLY what she needs- even the first one happens after she thinks she sees her attacker. This is actually very sexy 💦
—the sweet things Donovan has done over the years (I’ll also comment on this down below). Not only did he help her with payments and jobs, but he tried to make her life easier (partly because of his guilt… but anywayssss). I thought this was very sweet
—the sweet moments. We actually get good relationship scenes here. Of course, we get a third act breakup ish scene that doesn’t allow for a good grovel, but I still appreciated the nice scenes
What I didn’t like/wanted more of: SPOILERS
—he was obsessed with someone else before Sabrina… as in, she’s not exactly special 😒. Sigh. It shouldn’t bother me, but it bothers me that he’s obsessed with being obsessed 😐. Of course, it’s special because he’s been doing this for over 10 years when it comes to Sabrina, but if his dead fiancé hadn’t died, who knows how much longer he would’ve been obsessed with her
—so. Let me get this straight. Donovan’s been in love with Sabrina for over 10 years… and instead of him going after her, his answer is to SLEEP WITH LOTS OF WOMEN?
PU-LEASE 🙄. How am I supposed to find this swoony?!?!?! 😒
With true love like that ^^ why read romance 🤷🏻♀️.
And sure, he had ReAsOnS, but they weren’t good enough for me 🤷🏻♀️. You’re telling me, Donovan, that you’d prefer the woman you love to be sleeping with others instead of going after her?
Or maybe it’s because you wanted to sow your oats 😐🙄. Because, of course, Sabrina only slept with 5 other men in the last ten years, and we can’t even count the number of women Donovan’s been with 🙄.
—GROVEL? Don’t know what this means 😒. Sabrina’s all talk and doesn’t even make Donovan grovel much. Like… why isn’t he on his bloody knees asking for forgiveness, not only for his diiiiiirty diiiiiick, but for influencing and manipulating Sabrina’s life for the last ten years!!!?!??
-She never returned to Harvard because of him
-She lost her scholarship because of him
-She had to settle with college options because of him
-She had breakups because of him (he claims she would’ve been settling with the other men and she concedes… too bad he didn’t confront her and take her like he should’ve)
-She had job options taken away (yes, it makes sense he did this, but still)
-Her SA wouldn’t have gotten as far as it did in book 1 if he had gotten there sooner. He actually knew it was happening and was waiting for someone else to do something. When no one else was stopping it, that’s when he stepped in (he even had time to lace up his boots)
—^^the cop out for ALLLLL of this is that she can’t even make him grovel because her SA attacker gets out of jail and goes after her, the SAME night she’s pissed off at Donovan for hiding more info from her- and Donovan saves the day again, so she’s left thanking him instead of making him grovel 😐
—the angst! The thing is this; there’s so much of it and I just didn’t feel like it was all completely resolved to MY liking 🤷🏻♀️.
—Sabrina gives in WAAAAY too easily. I was pissed off and frustrated, and all it takes is Donovan snapping his fingers and Sabrina’s there 🙄. Like… what?!?!
—the lack of backbone 🤷🏻♀️ lol. Yeah. I said it. Don’t tell me you’re going to stop this or do that and then it goes flying out the damn window as soon as Donovan steps into the room.
It’s because He’S sO sExY 😒🙄
—did I mentionI hate how quickly Sabrina forgives Donovan? If I haven’t, we’ll I’m mentioning it again
—Donovan’s a jealous man… too bad he didn’t act quicker on this jealousy when it came to Sabrina
Overall, this was a nostalgic read that made me realize how much more I expect from the men in my books 🤷🏻♀️. I needed more from Donovan in order to continue giving this 5 stars. And I felt myself rolling my eyes at his excuses for the ten years apart
this is my previous 2020 review;
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 read them one after the other. I love what they need from each other, the stair scene and conference room during the wedding scene- swoon. Love every page.

After the way Dirty Filthy Rich Men ended to say I needed the next book was an understatement. My mind was filled with so many questions and I couldn't get enough of Donovan Kincaid. The man was like a drug and I was looking for all info I could get on him.
Dirty Filthy Rich Love didn't take the road I was expecting but Laurelin Paige gave me a story of love, a special kind of love, just suited to Sabrina and Donovan which make it really unique.
What both MC share is quite peculiar and some readers might be shocked. You need to read the first book and if you did you already know what their "kink" is all about but with Donovan's secrets, everything needs to be assessed. Sabrina needs to know if she can overcome those. If she can live and accept the way Donovan is.
"You're also the villain, don't forget that." "Lucky for me you’re the kind of girl who likes to fuck the villain."
Dirty Filthy Rich Love was beautiful to read. Realising all you need to be happy is the right person, no matter what they do and how they do was liberating in every way for Sabrina & Donovan.
My heart melted with how the man was. He really stole the show the entire time for me. Sabrina was a great character; I've seen her growth throughout the story but my mind was full with Donovan. I was enthralled by him, by his actions and how all he really needs is true love.
“You hold the cards right now, Sabrina,” he said, his nose almost touching mine. “But don’t begin to think I’ve forgotten who’s in charge.”
Happiness is not an easy path, Dirty Filthy Rich Love is a journey to get there filled with jealousy, lust, secrets, trust and as always lot of love.
Now I'm most definitely intrigued by Audrey, Sabrina's sister but I still have a certain Weston King on my mind.

**3.5 Stars**
Dirty Filthy Rich Love is a great conclusion to Donovan and Sabrina’s story. It’s not as good as book 1 Dirty Filthy Rich Men but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Donovan is just yummy as the flawed and obsessed man but it’s how he cared for Sabrina that won me over. Yes, it wasn’t the right way to pursue her and take control but that’s what made him so intriguing. I got a deeper insight into him, the reason he is the way he is and why he fell in love with Sabrina. I didn’t see a growth to Sabrina. She just pushed him away whenever Donavan screwed up. Just as in book 1. That’s also why I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first one. It just became kind of a repetitive behavior. They made mistakes and pushed each other away. Despite it all I still enjoyed it and the epilogue was awesome. Such a Donovan move.
Now I’m hoping Cade will get his book! Pretty sure he will cause it’s listed in the back of the book so I can’t wait to be back in this delicious Dirty Universe.

2.5 stars. After reading the first book, I was super excited about these characters. It was a dynamic story and addicting all the while being so different from anything I had read recently, I couldn't wait for the second book to come out.
Picking this story up though, I didn't get any of those same feelings. Characters that I used to love annoyed me. The story just kept going in circles and I found it to be quite predictable, and yet boring at the same time. Nothing jumped out to me like the first novel and personally, I thought it lost a bunch of its complexity.
Sadly this didn't compare to my high hopes. Not sure if I'll venture into Weston and Elizabeth's story when the time comes or not.

The final conclusion of Donovan and Sabrina story is in Dirty Filthy Rich Love. The loopholes and questions that Miss Paige build up, are finally answered. The kinky sex and behaviour that draw me to them, are still there.
What I can not stand is the immature bahviour of Sabrina. This woman who is independent, smart, Ivy League graduate, nonetheless weak, needy, jealous and childish. On every turn, she is jealous. She is so judgemental that she reacts without giving Donovan a chance to explain.
I understand Miss Paige build that jealousy so her readers are kept on the edge. But woman, you turn Sabrina into heroine that I love to hate.
Overall, still good story, but 1 star off due to Sabrina.
3 stars

4 Hardcore Made For You Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free
It is not often but always wished for, when a final book of a duet or series works so well. Right from the start, this final entry had me back in the mindset I needed to be in... I was there remembering all of the dark, sexy looks Donovan would give his Sabrina...How Sabrina would have shutters and chills just by a hint of Donovan's movement close to her body.
These two were this undeniable force... and like those chemicals that shouldn't stop being refrigerated...they would combust and let the chaos of it all reign supreme.
This is a duet which has all the angst, darkness, manipulation and then realizations needed to take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride. You will sometimes not know your head from your ass in the ways things are revealed...
But know this...This couple is destined to be together come what may. Their bond has been forged through a journey that has marked them from college days and nothing, no nothing, that happens will eventually break them.
That is not to say many discoveries will jar Sabrina... Make her question what is the true relationship she is having with Donovan...
Is she really having a relationship with this man...
Or is it only the sex...
Because the sex is nothing like what she has ever had or thought of with anyone else...This type of raw control, the taking, this nasty, dirty pushing and pull... this all-consuming desire that washes over her when she is near him....Is this the only reason she is drawn to him...and he to her...
Or is there more...
This question is one of the main themes of this book...which then segues into another question of whether you can accept a person as how he is...truly accept the oddities, the kink, the obsession... Can you understand you cannot take one part of a person like on a menu... and say
I will have the sexy dirty part of you from Column A but will substitute the obsessive watching or controlling decisions part of Column B...
Loving someone doesn't work that way...
And neither does loving someone from afar... and not allowing yourself to try ... to challenge yourself to be in the moment with the object of that love...
This deliciously well-crafted duet addressed all of that. It also set us up for more...
Yes, More Dirty Filthy Rich Men...as there are partners who have eyes for little sisters... and another partner of the firm who has some woman under his skin and this itch must be scratched.
Laurelin Paige has a very naughty dirty filthy imagination... and yum yum aren't we lucky.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book after the way Dirty Filthy Rich Men ended. I just had to know what was next for Donovan and Sabrina. Laurelin Paige did not disappoint! This book is not a standalone and should only be read after Dirty Filthy Rich Boys and Dirty Filthy Rich Men.
The story picks up, right where book 1 left off and you should prepare yourself for the feels. There will be times you will be angry, others where you ache, and still others where you will be down right fearful. Through it all though, you will be hopeful. Hopeful that these 2 will find a way to not let the past (and present) destroy them and to give each other the chance they so desperately want and need. Readers may not agree with all the choices our characters make. I know that I didn't. I recognize, however, that each relationship is unique to the people involved and that the only people who have to agree are the ones in it. With that in mind (and that this is pure fiction!), I loved Donovan and Sabrina's story. These 2 broken individuals, loving in the only way they know how, in a painfully honest way. Their imperfections and mistakes may cause them to stumble, but it's in their efforts where the true feelings are. It was odd at times to see a more vulnerable and slightly less confidant Donovan, but I enjoyed this glimpse of him immensely. I only wish that we would have gotten his POV in this series more, because boy did I often wonder what was going through this man's mind!
Lots of previous questions or loose ends get tied up in this book and I loved how the story came full circle. Again, readers who have triggers will likely not enjoy this book. It certainly made me uncomfortable at times, but I think the author does a fantastic job explaining why/how certain actions our characters take allows them to cope and get past these events. The epilogue was pure perfection and could not have ended the duet in any better way. It was true not only to the characters and to their relationship, but left the readers feeling hopeful and planted the seeds for future books in this deliciously dirty world. I can't wait to get filthy again! ;)

So good, it surprised me, amazed me and it was so good even though it was so bad. As it was written in the book, the more mess the better story, it works exactly here perfectly. And you can expect it all in this second book. My heart trembled more than once.
Donovan is the hero who must redeem himself and although he could be very harsh, most of the women probably fainted and so did I. Very dirty nad very hot. His black soul is attractive and tempting. But he proved he can be romantic. I know you’re waiting for that.
If you do not know what I’m talking about, it means, you did not read the first book. And you must so I encourage you because it is so good. One of the best duets ever!

I LOVED THIS ONE!
We did have to wait for quite some time for it to be published, but it was worth it.
I knew right from the start this one will be a winner!
First book in the duet ended in cliffhanger so I was anxious to dig in asap.
I read most of Laurelin Page's books and she never disappoints.
This one could easily be in my the top 5 for this year.
Dirty Filthy Rich love is the second and final book in the Dirty Duet series, and you can not read it as a standalone.
Oh boy, this was intense.
Donovan Kincaid is pure and simple...HOT!
I don't want to reveal too much.. but there will be certain unpredictable twists.
This was a great conclusion to this series.
Grab a copy and enjoy!
