Filthy Politics #3
Dirty Defiance
Reagan
My husband and I know how to fight. We perfected the art when running against each other for Congress. But that fighting revealed a passion for each other that we couldn’t deny. Battle lines were erased as enemies became lovers. But now we’re in the fight of our lives – we’re battling a smear campaign as he runs for governor. And again, we find ourselves drawn to do what we do best. I won’t be controlled, even by the man who owns my heart. But as tensions escalate to a boiling point, I discover there is one place I like checking my defiance – the bedroom. As Jude takes his dominance over me to a new level, I discover that submission can bring me to places I’ve ever known.

THE STORY:
This is book 3 in the Filthy Politics series but can be read as a standalone.
After five years of marriage Reagan and Jude’s love is still going strong but Politics is a dirty business and when your husband is running for governor and you work for the opposing party things are sure to get tense and heated in the household.
Can Jude and Reagan's demanding careers and political differences tear them apart or will it be the very thing that draws them together and strengthens their love?
MY THOUGHTS:
When these two authors get together it makes for one hot and heated story. This is a sexy political drama at its best and a must read for lovers of the first two books in the series.
Jude and Reagan are a passionate and explosive couple, their love for one another is intense and sexual, and with their ferocious tempers, together they really do make the perfect pair.
Their fight for what they both believed in became a fight for one another. I loved their witty sexy banter it sure made for some hot and steamy bedroom scenes. Reagan and Jude take make up sex to a whole new level.
Not only were the characters phenomenal but the story and combined writing talents make this a five-star blushing read for me.
MY RATINGS: (All ratings are out of 5)
HERO RATING:5
HEROINE RATING:5
BLUSH RATING: 4.5
ROMANCE RATING:5
PLOT RATING: 5
OVERALL: 5 Blushing Stars

I enjoyed revisiting and knowing what Jude and Reagan are up to nowadays. The challenges they're about to face now that Jude is running for governor. This tandem of authors didn't disappoint in concluding this series. It was an amazing read!
June 29, 2018
Dirty Defiance is definitely the best in this Filthy Politics series. Together, Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert combine forces to bring a story that is not only sexy as hell but touching and tender. I wanted more from Jude and Reagan after reading Dirty Work and this continuation of their story does not disappoint!
I guess what I love most about this couple is their fierce love for one another and how they are so perfectly matched. Neither Jude nor Reagan ever want to back down and many of their 'discussions' end with one of them not speaking to the other. Their tempers are truly legendary at this point in time and it just adds more fuel to their passionate fire.
Jude is still the boss in the bedroom, however, and my goodness, their sexual trysts were never hotter! I do believe marriage agrees with them. With Jude now running for Governor and Reagan still wanting her independence and her own professional life away from just being Mrs. Titan, it's a true battle of wills trying to soothe each other's egos without hurting their hearts in the process. But the love they feel for one another is never second-guessed and although they may stumble and fall due to their mutual stubbornness, there is no doubt they belong by each other's sides for forever.
I love this story-line. I love these characters and I love that Bliss and Rothert continue to give us their very best with this series. Yeah I want more and probably always will since Jude and Reagan are simply unforgettable.
With Dirty Defiance, Bliss and Rothert prove once more they are a wonderfully-matched duo and I cannot wait to see what they deliver next.
A solid 5 stars for Jude and Reagan Titan and their undeniable charm.

Dirty Defiance is a Hot read! JUDE and Reagan sizzle off the pages when red rope is involved. They have a few issues to figure out to continue with their happy ending and the future they want together. There were times I wanted to shake them because of their antics, but it didn’t last very long. They eventually figured out how to get everything they wanted and what was most important to them.No matter what, I could feel the love they had for one another that was just as strong, if not stronger, then when they fell in love and got married. I loved these two. Jude is a sexy Alpha, while Reagan is a stubborn, strong woman, and together they make it work by compromising. This was a good read.
June 29, 2018
First let me start by saying I LOVE JUDE!!! I was beyond ecstatic when I found out Chelle & Brenda where giving us more of Jude and Reagan. They have always been a favorite couple of mine, between their beliefs, they way they fight for them, fight with each other, but especially love each other. Never gets old. Politics is dirty business in this day and age, and it’s no different here. But theirs I’ll always come back for. Lot of stress going on, but a whole lot of chemistry going on too. And “relaxation”. Do yourself a favor and jump all over this book and this series. You absolute will love it!!!

I loved book 3 in this series! Jude and Reagan still heat up the pages, even after 5 years of marriage! Jude is now running for Governor and the little time they get together is getting smaller each day. I love how they work through their political differences, demanding jobs, slanderous innuendos, her sleazy father the realization of what matters most...their relationship. This is a drama filled, hot and steamy end to a fabulous series, an ending that satisfies (in more ways than one)everyone!!! Just get it now!!!
July 5, 2018
I loved Jude and Reagan in Dirty Work and loved them even more in Dirty Defiance. It’s been 5 years now since they’ve been married and they are both still stubborn but oh so freaking steamy and hot!!!! Their love is still going strong and they are still butting heads but still so very in love.
Jude still worships the ground Reagan walks on and she’s just like a schoolgirl in the presence of her husband in the bedroom but they are still a power couple. In this book we see their marriage tested several times because of their stubbornness and careers but towards the ending I see a side of Reagan that I really loved. Jude was his alpha steamy gorgeous self from beginning to end and their banter was still going strong.
I still think there’s more to this power couple especially after the way it ended. It didn’t end in a cliffhanger BUT I still think it was left open for more of them which I would not mind reading about.

This was seriously my favorite book of the 3 so far!!! I really loved getting back to Reagan and Jude and seeing how they're faring. I liked the fact that they had already met and were married but still need to work on themselves individually and as a couple. It was steamy as can be so don't worry there. But the rest of the story was what really pulled me in and kept me reading. I really loved the message close to the end of the book. It brought a little tear to my eye actually. Beautifully, well done story!!!

Jude is running for governor and is married to Reagan . We learn of the many struggles balancing work with a marriage can be for a couple. At times they are barely seeing each other and Jude also would like to start a family and Reagan wants to continue working. Soon a scandal erupts leaving Reagan losing out on her dream job and her mother having a health scare for her to reevaluate her life and Jude to clean up his mess with Tyson. Can things work out or is this the end? This is a great political romance from team Rothert and Bliss

After reading the 2nd book in this series, I was thinking each sibling was getting a book. To say I was surprised we were going back to Reagan and Jude to catch up is an understatement.
I loved these 2 in book 1 and still want more after book 3. Maybe one day we will get other siblings and catch up with Jude, Reagan and their babies

Dirty Defiance gives us more Jude and Reagan years after the first book!! I think this might be my favorite! Jude is so alpha and sexy! Reagan is a strong but stubborn woman! Their sexy times are scorching!! The connection and love they have is so strong and beautiful! I love them together!! This was a great read!

Jude and Reagan are still going strong five years later and having the same struggles as most married couples. But now Jude is running for governor and living life on the campaign trail is putting a strain on their marriage neither are ready for.
Reagan isn't jealous that Jude is on the campaign trail but she thinks he may think her job isn't as important as his. Although she wants to be with her, she also wants to make her job the best she can.
When they are away from the campaign trail, they are perfect together, still just as hot as they were when they met. When they are away from the house, they fight about what happens on the campaign trial mostly because Jude doesn't talk to her about it. She feels left out at times.
When a scandal against Jude comes up, Reagan begins to doubt him but knows he didn't do it. Then she begins to doubt their marriage in politics. When Reagan's mother calls with a health issue, Reagan leaves to be with her. Of course, the press automatically thinks she has left Jude because of the scandal, which isn't true.
Can Jude and Reagan get back on track and rekindle their relationship? Will Jude give up the run for governor just days before the election to save his marriage? Can Reagan see that she and Jude are meant to always be together forever?
When I saw that Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert were writing more about Jude and Reagan I knew it was going to be HOT and great. This couple knows how to steam up the pages and almost set a kindle on fire. So if you are looking for a steaming hot series then this one is for you, so sit back and enjoy the stem, I loved everything about it.

Dirty Defiance by Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert is one of the best books in the Filthy Politics series. This is more on main characters Jude and Reagan. Its 4 years since Jude and Reagan have been married – 4 years of hot sex, intense passions and delicious political heart, heat and scandals. What makes Jude and Reagan a great couple is the fierce love that they have for each other. In this book, Jude is now running for Governor and Reagan wants to be known for who she is, not for being Mrs. Titan – get ready for fireworks. You get to see the battle of the wills trying to make sure that they didn’t damage each others egos and still kept the love and romance alive. Jude is still that sexy alpha, and Reagan is still that sassy, stubborn woman. These two know how to make things work and it was great to see more about their love story and how their lives turned out. This book does not disappoint and keeps the series on the nonstop crazy, steamy, love -rich ride a minute.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

I was so excited to get more of Jude and Reagan’s story! They are such a strong, smart and incredibly sexy couple and I just love them! They’ve been married for around 5 years now and they are still just as hot and steamy as ever. Except now that Jude is running for governor, their time together is minimal at best and this is putting a strain on their relationship but as they always have, they strive to work through their differences because they are so crazy about each other. They will be tested a bit in this story by some unnerving forces but it really makes the story soar. Difficult decisions will have to be made but again, it really makes it work.
The worst part about this book is that it’s slated to be the last one in this smart sexy political romance. I am hoping with the way things were left that these two wonderful ladies might give us a Reagan and Jude fix down the road.

Jude and Reagan are back in action as Jude runs for Governor. Inbetween his campaign and working ful time, Reagan and Jude barely see each other. As a scandal causes a tailspin for these two can their relationship survive? I loved these two since the beginning and I was absolutely excited to read about these two again. This is a political romance that I think everyone will love.

This is the third and final book in the Filthy Politics trilogy. I loved catching up with Reagan and Jude, seeing where there life has gone. Jude is running for Governor and it's been a long hard race. There were times I got really fed up with both of them, the way they didn't seem to listen to each other. But in the end, their love for each other was stronger than everything else.
June 30, 2018
Jude takes offense to others badmouthing his woman, “that girl is my wife, ” I remind him. “The love of my life, actually. You should really watch how you talk about her.” Jude's woman knows how to call him as she sees him, “and I missed my sexy, moody, horse’s *** husband.” I loved this follow up book, I loved seeing how Jude and his girl were holding up.
June 30, 2018
Loved this story, Jude and Reagan are back for another uphill battle to the governor's office. These two certainly haven't cooled off in the last few yrs of marriage, this book is just as hot as the last one. These two will face many challenges in this story, the political race is getting nasty.

I received a copy and voluntarily left a review and all my opinions are my own.
I was beyond excited when I found out that Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert were bringing back their filthy political couple Jude and Reagan from Dirty Work. I couldn't wait for them to give us another hot and steamy glimpse into what makes this couple, whose views may be on the opposite ends of the spectrum but their hearts and bodies could not be more intertwined,not only the most explosive but the best combination. Dirty Defiance shows us that the desire between Jude and Reagan has not dwindled even among the problems of married life and campaigning. They are full of passion for their country and for each other and you can't help but want to be a part of their world.
Jude Titan is just as sexy as he was when he was campaigning for Senator. Now that he is on the road to Governor with a sexy wife who challenges him both in and out of the bedroom, life is going to get more complicated. I fell hard for this tattooed Republican and I just kept falling harder for him with every venture into the bedroom, every moment of mudslinging that he endures, and with his honor that he wears proudly like a badge. He is the ultimate hot and domineering alpha that ties up his woman and worships her in every way.
Reagan Titan proves time and time again, that she is still a force to be reckoned with that is sexy, head strong, and not afraid to fight with her man...and make up too! Reagan's sassiness has not dwindled or been diluted in the least. Sometimes she thinks to much with her head and not her heart but eventually she learns from her mistakes and makes the right choices. She is a heroine who shows her flaws and her strengths in equal measures and leaves you more in love with her character than you were at the beginning.
Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss deliver another romance full of dirty political shenanigans and lots of filthy sex to go with it. I highly recommend Dirty Defiance for another intriguing look into the life and politics of one of Brenda and Chelle's hottest couples yet! I cannot wait to experience more of the deceit and heat that swirl in this Filthy Politics series. Political platforms have never looked so sexy!

An amazing sequel to Dirty Work
When I signed up to review this book I thought I had read Dirty Work , I hadn't but luckily it was on my kindle so I read that yesterday. I'll state right now that to enjoy Dirty Defiance you need to have recently read Dirty Work . If I hadn't done so I don't believe I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did. I would have felt neither a connection to, nor the connection between, Jude and Reagan.
Dirty Defiance is set several years on from the end of Dirty Work and examines what happens when pursuing a life in public office means you can't always keep your promise to put the love of your life first. Just what will Reagan and/or Jude have to sacrifice, and will it be each other?
Oh my I didn't think it was possible but I do believe that Jude was even hotter and more alpha in this book! Reagan was just as strong in this book, and felt stronger even than Jude did. Neither character was perfect, but the choices they made when scared or angry were such very human and believable reactions that my love for this couple just grew.
This has a different feel to it, quite simply because it isn't a 'falling in love' read but a battling through the trials of life story. It was still totally captivating with it's excellent writing, good pace and unexpected little plot twists, in fact I enjoyed this more even more than DW . Nor is it as long a read as DW but then we didn't need any world or character building, so this is entirely plot focused.
This is a duet of books (or trio if you want to include the related Dirty Secret. ) that I am only to happy to recommend. Their quality makes them stand out from the crowd and you really need to be adding them to your TBR list. Well done and congratulations to the authors for producing such a wonderful book.

5 star Review Dirty Defiance (Filthy Politics #3) by Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert
This was a fantastic and intriguing read although I do admit that politics is not my favourite topic to read about. I loved it from the first to the last page and was disappointed when it ended. This was an intriguing read from the first to the last page and I was disappointed when it ended. Dirty Defiance was well written and I have no idea where one author ended and the other took over. Ms. Bliss and Ms. Rothert blended their writing together in such a way that the continuity was flawless.
Where do I start? This is the third collaboration between these two authors and I loved this story. Dirty Defiance has it all, intrigue, mystery, danger, smoking hot scenes and romance. When I read the first book I had hopes that there might be a follow up book and now here it is.
Jude and Reagan have been married for 4 years and Jude is running for Governor. As is to be expected when running for political office, unseen forces try to drive them apart and cause trouble. Can their marriage survive or will it buckle to the pressure? They love each other and he is just as dominant in the bedroom as he has always been but outside influences are putting a strain on their marriage.
Jude and Reagan are two characters that are a joy to read about; their love for one another is intense and passionate. I love how strong and feisty Reagan is and yet she is still vulnerable and Jude is totally dreamy. Dirty Defiance can easily be read as a stand alone, but I would do yourselves a favour if you haven’t read the previous books and once click them too as I do believe it will add to your enjoyment of reading Dirty Defiance.

Review by Jen Skewes
The fabulous writing team that is Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss has done it again. They have not only given us more of Jude and Reagan but have also give us a story that is hot, dirty, and sweet all wrapped in one. with the right amount of drama to keep you turning the pages.
Jude and Regan are back. They have been married for over 5 years now and Jude is running for Governor. they have already been through a lot but as we are all aware, no Government campaign is complete without some sort of scandal and issues. With his wife by his side, Jude can get through everything that is thrown at him. But being by Jude's side every minute of the campaign is not always feasible. Can their marriage survive this campaign?
I really loved Jude and Reagan in the first book and loved them even more. This book was certainly hot and sexy because we know how dominating Jude likes to be in the bedroom. But there was also a sweet side to this story as well as a real one. What I loved about it and them was that their marriage isn't perfect. They had their fights like we all do. When things got heated they may have said things that they regretted. But when two people love each other like they do and care about their marriage they fight, they communicate and they do everything to make it work. These two are a great team. And they proved that isn Dirty Defiance. It was a quick read and completely satisfied my craving for more Reagan and Jude. Love these two together. A great follow up to their story.
Review by Jen Skewes
The fabulous writing team that is Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss has done it again. They have not only given us more of Jude and Reagan but have also give us a story that is hot, dirty, and sweet all wrapped in one. with the right amount of drama to keep you turning the pages.

This is book #3, in the Filthy Politics series.
You will need to read the other 2 books in the series to make sure you know who is who and what is going on.
This story continues with Reagan & Jude. Jude is running for governor and basically living on his tour bus, some occasional hotels. Reagan is continuing her work in DC. They have been married for 5 years now, and they are constantly working on making room in their calendars for each other.
Reagan wants to be with Jude on the road, but, she also has her career also. Reagan's mother calls her with a possible health scare and Reagan flies to Florida to be with her mom. Instantly the press think Jude & Reagan are on the rocks. Which is of course not the case! Reagan wants to be with her mom, and make sure her mom is ok. Jude's campaign is coming under fire, he's not sure who he can trust. He contacts Reagan but making sure little is said about her location and what is going on with her family.
A scandal is trying to break Jude from the political scene and Reagan isn't by his side. She is for a few dinner's / parties, but, that's all.
I didn't like that they were together two night, or one night, and then one or both was flying away from one another. They needed to work on what was important in their life, being with each other or leading their separate work lives?

I was so pleased to be back in Jude and Reagan’s world and once again the writing duo of Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert didn’t disappoint in fact for me they left the best for last, once I started Dirty Defiance there was no putting it down till I had read the very last line.
Jude and Reagan have been married for 4 years and not much has changed in there relationship he is still the boss in the bedroom and she is still determined to follow her career path but with him running for governor strains are put on the relationship and then Reagan’s mum has a health scare which puts everyone’s life into prospective.
This couple are so much fun to read about and the writing skills of the authors involved make you feel part of the world of politics which seems to go hand in hand with scandal. One of the things I really love about this book apart from the plot and the characters is you have no idea who wrote what part of this story and for me that is a sure sign these authors are not only talented as individuals they are very talented as a duo. If you love a book that’s full of love, intrigue and a lot of passion you need to one click and yes each book can be read as a stand-alone but I think you would get so much more out of them if you read them all. Another 5 Star read from Brenda Rothert and Chelle Bliss.

Loved this follow-on story about Jude and Reagan!
"Other women don't compare. Only you can satisfy me, Reagan. Only my wife."
Jude Titan is running for Governor. He's been on the road a lot, spending days and weeks apart from his wife, which doesn't make him happy. However, when they are together, the only place that they don't argue is in the bedroom, where she's thrilled to be dominated by him.
"Even after four years of marriage, he still makes my heart race."
Reagan loves her job and is happy to support her husband, but not to the detriment of her own identity, independence and ambition. She misses him desperately when he's away, and is troubled by the fact that he's a handsome target for opportunistic women.
As scandal starts to dog them, both start to question just exactly what they want for their future, and both consider the sacrifices that have to be made.
"I never want to look back and wish we'd set aside career goals to focus on the only thing that truly matters - us."
Jude and Reagan are such a fiery couple who fight passionately, but love with bone-deep intensity. The story takes us through the difficulties of being a public, political couple as they deal with possible scandal and trust issues, and their own personal desire for a normal life.
This was a fairly quick, hot read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Filthy Politics series by the dynamic duo that makes up the brilliant Chelle Bliss & Brenda Rothert, and cannot get enough. At this point, it's 4 years into Jude & Reagan's marriage, and while they are certainly off the charts HOT HOT HOT in the bedroom, like set the sheets on fire, melt the paint off the walls HOT, they are some big obstacles popping up. See Jude is running for Governor, and it's not been an easy race. And Reagan is trying to be her own woman, while being married to the man she loves beyond all others, but since it's a political race, there are dirty things coming up to bring Jude down, that are really threatening to come between them. Yeah, these are some seriously big twists to get the f-bombs raining down let me tell you. Then there's all the emotional upheaval, as Reagan is going through her own issues with all of this, so my emotions were at an all time high. I couldn't move until I inhaled every last word, and see how it all panned out! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this story, as these fantastic authors pulled out all the stops! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

4.5 Stars!
Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert are back with a sexy, new, tantalizing third installment in the Dirty Politics series and what a great addition to the series. Jude and Reagan from book one- Dirty Work are back... promising to fiddle with your heart, mess with your feelings, leave you on the edge of your seat, and practically have your kindle steaming the whole time.
Dirty Defiance drops us five years into Jude and Reagan's marriage and life is about to get a wee bit complicated for them. One race. One opportunity. One crossroad. Love can be hard at times and marriage isn't easy in moments...but gah! A love like theirs...strong, fierce, intense, resilient...is worth any fight presented.
Undeniable passion. Blistering heat. Dirty tactics. Messy drama. Blurred lines. Two unforgettable characters. Politics has never been so edgy... Dirty Defiance was one hell of an emotional, sexy, dirty journey you cannot miss.
This book...yeah it's one I'd recommend.

Dirty Defiance by Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert is the third and for now final installment in the Filthy Trilogy.
Dirty Defiance can be read as a standalone, but for better understanding I strongly recommend to read the books in order. The previous books are Dirty Work and Dirty Secret.
Jude and Reagan´s story continues. Jude and his wifr Reagan are on different sides of the political spectrum. He´s a US Senator who runs for Governor. Reagan grew up in a politican´s household and knows the ins and outs very well. She´s a member of the rival party and loves her work there. She´s a strong woman who fights for what she believes in - and she loves to argue with her husband. But her believe nearly destroys her marriage. And she rows back- way, way back. She goes from a fighter for rights to wannabe mother and housewife. I started reading and couldn´t believe my eyes. No, just no. The story started out strong, but the end was disappointing to me. I give 3,5 stars.
Dirty Defiance is told in a dual POV and the conclusion to the Titan´s story.

After being away for weeks, Reagan expects Jude to come home and they would jump into bed, not the slow torture that he decides to punish her with.
Lately whenever they talk about his career ends up with them both angry, with him running a campaign and Reagan focused on his career. Reagan doesn’t like who Jude is associating with while his campaigning and he knew how he would react yet did anyway.
The campaign is stressful for them both, neither wanting to back down in an argument, they are drifting apart and arguing, although their make-up sex is phenomenal.
Reagan wants her own career and to follow her dreams, although when they are hit with not one but two blows, which leave them apart while they work them out.
Watching Jude on television with his campaign, Reagan realises what she really wants and hopes that she can that convince Jude that it is. At the end of the campaign is the pressure going to tear them apart or drive them together.
