Devil Kings MC #3

Dirty Desires

Rate this book
A twist of fate threw us together…

Gypsy—

I’m a Devil King; loyal to no one but my club, until she comes along and tests everything I thought I believed in.
When I do a favor for my imprisoned ex-president’s ol’ lady, I come face to face with the one-night-stand that’s haunted me for three years. She pulled a disappearing Cinderella act on me, vanishing with the dawn. I searched high and low for her, and now that I’ve found her—she’s the definition of off-limits. She’s an MC princess—my MC’s princess. And even if her father no longer runs things, she’s still forbidden with a capital F.
Tell that to my traitorous body that reacts every damn time she gets within sight of me.
They say no good deed goes unpunished, and I’m learning this golden haired beauty could be the death of me.

Though our chemistry blazes, every second I spend with her risks the brotherhood we’ve just repaired.

Tess—

I’ve never wanted anything to do with my father’s filthy MC, The Devil Kings. With daddy dearest in prison, my mother is falling apart. Her struggle with anxiety, drugs and money problems drag me back from the independence I crave. She needs my help and my father holds the key—literally.

But when he insists I get him information on the Devil Kings in exchange, I’m thrust into a world I want no part of. My father may be their EX-president, but I’m still considered an MC princess.

When my mother pulls in a favor and arranges an escort for me down to the prison, he walks in—a patched member of the Devil Kings MC—and a memory from a one-night stand we had three years ago.

But there’s a reason I ditched him the next morning; I want nothing to do with men like my father. Gypsy is everything I need to steer clear of—he’s an outlaw, a Devil King, dangerously sexy and loyal to his club.

As my mother’s world falls apart, my choice becomes clear.
But how do I choose between saving her and betraying the man I love?

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.At the end of Dirty Deals information came to light about Gypsy, which piqued my curiosity and so I jumped at the chance to listen to Dirty Desires. 

Dirty Desires is the third book in the Devil Kings MC series and tells the story of Gypsy and Tess. Tess is the daughter of the MC Devil's ex-president, which made her off limits to members of the club when it came romantic relationships. Well, that wouldn't be too hard to accomplish as Tess wanted nothing to do with the MC Devils. The less she has to do with them the better.  So when she discovered that the hot guy with whom she spent a passionate night was a member of the Devil Kings she hightailed it out of his place and never looked back. However as fate would have it, three years later their paths would cross again.

Gypsy had no clue as to Tess's true identity. One thing he was sure of was the passionate connection they shared on the night they first met. He never stopped thinking about her not knowing if he will see her again. When the wife of his former president asked him for a favor. he didn't hesitate as he owed her. Little did he know that the granting of the favor involved the woman he connected with three years ago, the daughter of his former president. 

Top Five Reasons to Listen to Dirty Desires

Humorous Storyline: Despite the serious of the situation and the danger involved, the story had me cracking up. The cemetery scene  was the funniest of all.

Characters: Tess and her BFF Haley together were a riot. Haley was a true ride or die friend, who always have Tess's back even in dangerous situations. She doesn't hold back with telling the truth even if it hurts. Tess showed that she was not afraid to take responsibility for her actions and to would go the extra mile to make amends for any acts of betrayal she may have caused.

Writing Style: The writing was solid and engaging. James made it easy to visualize each scene making me feel a part of the story. 

Romance: If you love your romance with lots of steam then you are in the right place. The steam Tess and Gypsy oozed when they were together will require the reader to have a cooling device nearby.  Be warned it does not fall in the slow burn category.

Narration: Narrators Virginia Rose and Ryan West continues to narrate the series. It was a pleasure listening to them both. I enjoyed the duet narration style used throughout the series. They were both good matches for the tone and the pacing of the story. 
Conclusion/Recommendation

Even though Gypsy and Tess aren't my favorite Devil Kings couple, I really enjoyed their story. I feel like this was a good conclusion to the series, as everything with the Devil Kings MC change in leadership feels really resolved as well.

I liked Tess a lot - she is a strong character and I had real sympathy with her situation with her parents. Her father was the old Devil Kings Prez and, as we know from previous books, he is no good and is now in prison. Her mom isn't much better - but here's a bit I didn't love. Her mom is on drugs and booze - in large part because she's so messed up from Tess's dad. But Tess is in the situation she's in - trying to negotiate with her dad so she can get money for her mom - because her mom "can't" work due to her anxiety. I'm sorry, but Tess is making excuses for her mom and, while her dad definitely owes them, Tess shouldn't be trying to bail her mom out like this. So the WHOLE premise is based on something I find problematic. That being said, it's a romance and so we're in a world where things get wrapped up in neat bows even if they normally wouldn't, so I can give it some grace.

Gypsy is fine, pretty standard protective, rock-your-world in the sack, sexy, sometimes brutal MC hero. There was nothing too unexpected about him that made him special. But he and Tess do have some great chemistry that ignites pretty much immediately, so get ready for that.

Tess's best friend, Haley stole the show for me. She's an AMAZING best friend, someone Tess could really count on. And beyond just the support, she seemed to be part of some of the funniest parts of the book. The cemetery scene, which was a little tense was mostly funny thanks to Haley.

The narration was really great, as it has been for the entire series. Virginia Rose narrates the female characters and Ryan West narrates the male characters. This my favorite kind of dual narration, because you get one set of voices for each character and it feels like an almost theatrical performance. They play off each other really well and really add to the enjoyment of Dirty Desires.

♥️🌼Good Addition To This Series🌼♥️
Dirty Desires is book 3 of Nicole James’ Devil Kings MC Series... I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this series is as good as her Evil Dead MC series... and I REALLY LOVE that series...but I’m, quickly, falling in love with this one too....♥️🌼
DKMC member, Gypsy, and ex-president, Growler’s daughter, Tess meet by chance at a bar...have a one night stand...and go their separate ways...But they never forget each other or the connection they shared....Then Fate steps in... ♥️🌼
The books in this series are standalones, but I recommend every one of them....They are all different, but they have similarities, too....Around 200 pages...Hot, alpha bikers and strong female biker chicks (at least they are by the end of the books)....layered characters with good dialogue and lots of chemistry...lots of steam...a good storyline...and a happy ending...That’s pretty much all I want...♥️🌼

Dirty Desires
The Devil Kings MC Series, Book 3
By: Nicole James
Narrated by: Ryan West, Virginia Rose

Tess & Gypsy. What a couple! I think what had me intrigued is their chemistry before they even realized who they were to each other. Meeting on Tess's 21st birthday at a bar, the two had an instant connection. But when Tess realized Gypsy was part of the Dark Knights, she fled and didn't look back. Now 3 years later, with her mother in financial trouble and her father in jail, the two intersect again. But this time, it is not so easy to step away. Danger, conniving, deception, addiction, passion , you name it, Nicole James packs this story with it all. Gypsy is the ultimate alpha, and I love his over protective nature. Wiling to take on the club to be with his woman, he is loyal to a fault. Tess is stubborn and determined, and definitely the daughter of a Dark Knight. She will stop at nothing to get what she needs to help her mother and I love that about her. These two together make an incredible couple. Despite their differences, their love and passion for each other is the glue that keeps them coming back for more, and it's addicting to listen to. I love this series, and can't wait to see where Nicole James takes us next with Hayley's story!

You can't pick a better narration team than Ryan West and Virginia Rose for this series. West has that growlie, alpha tone to his voice that worms itself directly into my heart. Rose fits the strong willed determination for Tess and always delivers a performance I love. Their duet style showcases their complimenting voices and makes the listen a delight to hear.

Gypsy and Tess see each other 3 years after their one night stand. Neither one knew who the other really was when they got together. Tess has issues with the MC and wants no part of them. Her father was their president and is currently in prison. He tries getting her to get him information about the Club. Gypsy knows they have chemistry, but also knows that he is breaking the code of not dating a brother's daughter. She is the MC princess, although no one seems to treat her like one. Their story had a few twists and turns. Both of them can't stay away from the other, although circumstances and situations keep getting in the way. I liked how Gypsy stood up and acknowledged his feelings when it counted. Was not a huge fan of Rusty trying to deny Gypsy his feelings for her. Felt that the book was okay. There was some jumping around in their story and it felt disjointed at times.

Dirty Desires is the 3rd book in Nicole James' Devil Kings MC series. It is a standalone, but contains characters/ongoing storylines from the previous 2 books.

The story follows Gypsy, an DKMC member and Tess, the daughter of the ex-DKMC president. The 2 reconnect 3 years after a one night stand when Tess's mom embroils the two of them in some family drama with Tess's dad who is in prison. It's soon apparent that drama will entangle Tess in club business and soon threaten the renewed relationship between Tess and Gypsy.

Dirty Desires was a nice, quick read that moved along nicely. Both Tess and Gypsy were likable and you were definitely rooting for their HEA by the end of the book. Nicole James has yet to disappoint. Can't wait to see if there will be another book in the series!

🎧 AUDIOBOOK REVIEW 🎧

Dirty Desires by Nicole James

I feel like this series keeps getting better with every book. Gypsy was a natural charmer and I loved everything about how he and Tess originally met. Their connection came across really well on page and even better with Ryan West and Virginia Rose as narrators.

Again they did a fantastic job of bringing this story to life and really giving the protagonists character. The execution was high quality from beginning to end. I may or may not be developing a voice-crush on someone **ahem**. 🤫

Another great addition to the series and if this is the direction it’s going, I’m definitely gonna be following.

I really loved Gypsy and Tess. I thought the story was good and I liked how they got together. Tess is Growler's daughter who was the past president of the DK MC. When Gypsy and Tess meet at a random bar neither one knew the connection of which they know one another. I really like this book up until the ending. I thought that it ran flat and I didn't really care for Gypsy at that point. I don't know what happened for me but it just seemed that the vibe of Gypsy's character changed. That is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I would certainly read another book in the series if there plans to be one.

The biker & his reluctant MC princess

Tess wants nothing to do with an MC! After all, growing up as the daughter of the president of one does nit bring back fond memories. However, to help her mother, Tess will give in to her convict father and get re-acquainted with the Devil Kings MC…specifically Gypsy. Gypsy owes Tess’s mother his life so he agrees to help her daughter. He does not intend to fall for the prickly princess…with whom he has a secret past. This part humorous, part MC drama is just the thing you need for that summer road trip. Well written and narrated. Yes, there is an HEA. There are all more books in the series…sweet!

This is the third book in the Devils Kings MC Series. This is definitely one of my favorite MC Series! Gypsy and Tess's story is entertaining, fast-paced, and captivating, filled with secrets, danger, and intrigue. Tess is strong, smart, and determined. Gypsy is alpha, handsome, and protective. The supporting characters are amazing. Virginia Rose and Ryan West did a fantastic job with this duet narration! They really are perfect as Tess, and Gypsy. Their acting is flawless, and the audio quality is amazingly impeccable. I need more!! I HIGHLY recommend this Series. If you like MC Romance, you don't want to miss it! #CaffeinatedPR #TheAudioFlow

Tess and Gypsy are thrown together by crazy events. She wants nothing to do with her fathers old club
She just wants to help her mother.


“All my life I’ve sworn I wanted nothing to do with my father’s MC. And then you come along.” He squeezes my arm. “I know the feeling.”

This was a great edition in this series. I think this is the last book but I sure would like to read about Hayley she’s a trip.

She throws her arm around me and grins. “Don’t go doubting me now, Lucy.” I roll my eyes and chuckle. “You say so, Ethel.”

Definitely liked this book in the series the best to date. Had all the elements Nicole James is known for in her MC Romances. Scorching hot bedroom, kitchen, wall scenes. Gypsy and Tess were more developed than the previous H/h books. And you were shown the weaknesses and strengths. This book had the closure to the revamping of the DK MC that the others didn't, so closed the book feeling greatly satisfied.
I read this via Kindle Unlimited but can truly say that it would be well worth your time & $$ to check this book out.

A crazy ride for Tess and Gypsy

This is a sweet second chance romantic tale. Gypsy and Tess met a long time ago and sparks flew. Theses two are thrusted back together due to a scheme. Will theses two love birds make it or will trouble keep them apart? The characters are like able plus you get some history about three two. I would have liked more information about the MC woven into the story. What happened to Growler before? Why was he awful to his own daughter? Read On!

It was ok

I love the evil dead series. The first two book in this one were good not great. I liked tess. But gypsy and the rest of the crew not so much the book came off flat. Story was not deep or dark it was simple and kinda dull. I hope she goes back to the evil dead series. Those were dark gritty and solid reads overall it felt rushed.

Good book!

Really enjoyed this latest Devils King book. Gypsy and Tess are made for each other and the smoking hot sex and all the suspense of what would happen between these two. Being from a small town below Atlanta I knew some of the places that were in this book. Have a friend who is buried in the cemetery in this book. Can’t wait to see what’s next in this series.
