Dirty

Diamondback MC #1

by Tory Baker

I love living life on the edge. The Diamondback MC is my world.
I never thought about settling down—until Raven.



Raven was a dancer at one of the clubs the Diamondback’s own.
As their VP when things started going sideways with our manager, I came in and Raven stepped up to the plate, helping us out.
I took one look at her and I knew she was special.
She may have deserved better than me, but I wasn’t about to let anyone else have her.
When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am.

Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady— it’s forever.

Who doesn’t love a rowdy biker who finds a woman who will bring him to his knees? Tory is back with a brand new series of rough and rowdy bikers who are about to meet the one woman they can’t tame.

"Dirty" is the story of Raven and Maddox.

First book in the Diamondback MC series has the hero meeting the heroine at a strip club, and falling for her. She helps him out, he decides to have her, her past causes some issues and it ends in a HEA.

Was an average read!

I.. honestly had a hard time liking this couple they were to rough not a good rough not enough like love between them.. they felt like they were just buddies.. who just sleep together... I didn't feel any connect at all.. even when they first met it was meh.

Raven works for Razor as a stripper at one of their clubs and he's sorta lusting after her but he's lore focus on work.. which was fine but for my alphas I wanted him to already claim her and be like nope your only dancing for me. So yeah.. my like went down I don't think he felt any jealously when she danced for others... :/

Beside that there was drama at the club and Ravens pass..

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character,Drama, sexy times, no virgins

I'm on a mission to find another author like Jessa Kane that doesn't dive so hard into the daddy kink. This was a fun biker, age gap, insta-love, steamy novella with a sassy heroine and OTT alpha.

I'm rounding to 4 because I dove right into the next 2 books in the series before finally needing to go to sleep.

I'll definitely be finishing the series and see what else this author has to offer.

Quick Summary
When there’s trouble at one of the strip club owned by his MC, Razor is sent in for damage control.

Raven is a dancer at the club, who’s hard exterior and no-nonsense attitude wins Razor over as soon as he lays eyes on her.

🖤 ~ My Thoughts ~ 🖤
This was a short and to the point read. There was some drama for the club that was connected to Raven but it wasn’t end all/be all drama. It was pretty low key and resolved some issues for the MCs that allowed them to cement their whirlwind relationship.

Razor and Raven weren’t a lovey-dovey, cuddles and sweet words type couple. They both had rough edges and had to learn to let their guard down around each other but overall it was an entertaining read.

Heat Level: 3/5 Does have smexy times! But stayed at simmering. Chemistry between the MCs was also okay.

Extra (Spoiler-y) Info :
MC ages: Raven is 22 and Razor is 36.

Triggers/Pet Peeves

Sharing: None.

Voyeurism: Some, Raven is a stripper and their first sexual encounter happens at work and is being watched (unbeknown to them) by third party.

Outside Drama: Drugs have found their way into the club and there is some drama with a rival drug cartel.



I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

We met Raven in the last book of the previous series, The Bad Boys of Texas. She meets Razor/ Maddox at the strip club where she works. It’s owned by the Diamondbacks MC of which Razor is a member. From their first meeting sparks are flying. Things are happening at the strip club and Raven becomes entangled in the mess when her past comes back to haunt her. This was a fast paced enjoyable read with some twists and turns. Raven has been independent since she was eighteen and trying to make a better life for herself. Razor wasn’t looking for a relationship but once he met Raven all bets were off and his protective but sweet side came out to look after her. Can’t wait for book two. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Maddox & Raven

This wasn't the type of story I usually go for. But I enjoy Tory Bakers books and gave it a shot. I definitely would not call this instalove. It was very much insta lust and feelings weren't really discussed or shown too much until the end. It was very much strangers to hooking up without any lead up at all. Neither one was "innocent" in any way, and I didn't get the impression that either had ever been celibate for any amount of time. There was no club whores, so definite thumbs up for that. No om/ow drama, no cheating or talk of pasts. The other M.C. members were actually encouraging him to make her his ol lady, and seemed like good guys. Towards the end, a bit more feeling was added and I did really like them together. I was a bit bummed at the very end to find out that years later, she's still refusing to marry him? I don't really get the reasoning behind that, she never had reason to be against it... Overall, I did enjoy the story and I will read the next one.

5* first time read

When Razor meets Raven he's taken. He sees her long legs and ample rack and knows he's going to enjoy the time it takes to take her. She's sweet, sassy and smart!!

[Gretchen Calder · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW. Razor is swoon worthy from the start. Raven who happens to meet him to drop off the keys to the strip club cause the manager is busy you could tell these two were going some where. Raven had a dream and was in school doing it all on her own after a rough childhood. Razor is a protective alpha male who would do anything to protect those he cares about. Razor has a brotherhood with them MC to have his back. Raven has no one around her. Her best friend lives hours away. Raven and Razor want to have their happy ever after. Just have handle a few things first. It is an awesome first book of the series. I can’t wait for more.

Raven is going to school to get her degree in business but to pay the bills, she works as a stripper on the weekends. One day her boss asks her for a quick favor, one of the club owners wants to come in and inspect the place first thing in the morning but her boss can't be there. Raven is asked to show early and let him in and then she can go home to sleep. The problem is the club owner is Razor, the VP of the Diamondback and he is not happy to be met by a stranger. Razor refuses to let her leave until he contacts her boss. Raven is very annoyed by the whole situation even though she is very attracted to Razor. She doesn't want to give in to her attraction because he is cocky and brings trouble with him.

Razor is very attracted to Raven. Not only is she sexy and beautiful but she show no fear of him. When she helps him out with the troubles at the club, he knows she is the perfect old lady for him. No he just has to convince her.

If your looking for a quick, enjoyable read involving MC alpha/possessive males, a hard working female who is no shrinking violet, murder, red hot sex scenes, or memories of neglect..

Read 'Dirty'.

Raven is a sassy, sexy, intelligent, independent, siren, who attracts the attention of the formidable Razor, the Diamondback MC VP.

Raven and Razor provide hot sex scenes and some interesting interactions. Their chemistry is instant and surprisingly believable.

I did enjoy this story, but if there is any reason to be disappointed regarding this read, I would have to say it would be the length of the story being far too short.

Also, there were details mentioned that were never further explained.
It felt that the author had planned to expand on them at a later time but forgot they had been added.
It made the story appear slightly fractured but admittedly although it was annoying, it was easy to ignore.

In any case, I really did enjoy Dirty and look forward to reading Shovel's story, the President of the Diamondback's MC.

I usually don't read MC books but this is the story of Raven who we met her in Faster and I liked her character in that book. I was pleasantly surprised how fast paced and exciting this book was. Raven works in a strip club working the pole and has a dream of owning her own dance studio teaching exercise and the pole to women and men who want to learn it. She is saving every cent so when she graduates college she can move on. But things are happening at the club which happens to be owned by the Diamondbacks, an MC club and they have sent Razor to straighten it out. When these two meet the sparks fly. They find there is a cartel doing business there and with a surprise visit from Raven's worthless mother it makes you wonder if these two will ever get their HEA. Spoiler they do. This was a exciting fun read, fast paced and has great sex appeal and I really enjoyed it.

Eh.

I have to say I was expecting a little more from this book. I didn't like the premise but I thought let's see what it's about. I usually love her books but I just couldn't with this one. The story seemed all jumbled up. Some parts didn't make sense. The H was kind of a jerk. She was meh at best. She is a stripper and says she's not a whore but she gives the guy a lap dance after just meeting him and he has his fingers all up in her lady business.🤔 The thing with her mom didn't seem necessary but ok.I don't know, it just didn't feel like a Tory Baker book. I could be alone in my thinking this. Thankfully I borrowed it. I do have to say that I will read the second one. Again borrowed. In the meantime I'll reread her older books to see it maybe I'm missing something. Of course this is my own opinion. I focused on things that others might not so Please read for yourself.

Dirty by Tory Baker is the first book in the Diamondback MC series and it captivated me from start to finish! Razor and Raven are enthralling!

After having caught glimpses of Raven in Selena's story, I knew I was going to fall head over heels in love with her and let me tell you, I absolutely have!

Raven is a spitfire! She's resilient, she's sassy, and I loved how she was living her life for herself and on her own terms after having experienced more than enough during her childhood. Her independence is admirable, her attitude delightful and feisty!

Razor is smart, calculating, and so attractive with his way of possessing and caring for the woman that's caught his eye. He's over the top, he's clever, he's smitten.

Their instant attraction, the twists and turns as all the drama unfolds, and the fast paced action had me HOOKED, and I'm already in love with this series, and cannot wait for the next one!

I liked Raven’s spunky character from “Faster” a book in the “Bad Boys of Texas” series and was excited that she was getting her story as the first book in this new series. As the daughter of a druggie mom, she’s always had to take care of herself. She’s a stripper to pay her way through college. Luckily that also brings her to Razor. When two dancers are found with drugs, Razor comes to town to check on the MC’s strip club and make sure nothing as is going on. The attraction between these two is instant and steamy. Love the private room scene and every moment that followed. A little drama gets thrown their way from an unexpected place but it just adds to the story that is Raven and Razor. Check them out and enjoy their journey!

Tory Baker kicks off her new series, Diamondback MC, with Razor and Raven's story in Dirty. It's a spin-off series to The Bad Boys of Texas series, and we met Raven there (but if this is your introduction to Ms Baker, you can jump right in without having read any of the preceding books). Raven is a dancer at a club owned by the Diamondback MC, putting herself through college after being abandoned by her junkie mother. When trouble starts brewing at the club, the VP of the Diamondbacks comes to town to figure things out. Razor aka Maddox, is a dirty-talking, cigarette-smoking bad-a**, and from the moment he meets the sassy, quick-talking Raven he's hell-bent on making her his Ol' Lady. This is a quick-fire, super steamy read, and Razor and Raven just might melt your Kindle!

This is book number 1 in the Diamondback MC series and focuses on Maddox (Razor) and Raven. This is a spin-off series from the Bad Boys of Texas series (Raven is introduced in book number 5 of that series). Raven is a dancer at one of the clubs owned by the Diamondback MC and Maddox is the VP of the MC who is sent to check the place out when things start to get fishy with the manager there. There is an instant attraction between the two and they get together pretty quickly. I loved that Raven had no problem putting Maddox in his place and their banter was on point. This was a great start to the new series and I can't wait for the next book!

I have read Ms Baker's books from the start and I have loved them all. They are always focused on her main characters and the relationship they are developing between them which I love! So with that information, it should be noted that to me Dirty is Tory Baker's best book to date! Holy moly, the heat between Raven and Razor is radioactive. Raven is sassy, smart, confident and loyal. Fortunately, Razor catches on to that really quickly and doesn't hesitate to get up close and personal with her. The MC part plays a key role in the story and it enhances the story beautifully. This author's style meshes perfectly with the MC genre and I am so excited to see where she takes this series! All the stars for Dirty!!!

[Sabrina Flachsmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one felt very different that other Tory Baker books. Even meeting Raven in Faster, she felt different in this book. This felt darker, rougher, not as nice. I thought Raven was hilarious in Faster, I didn't get that vibe here. I felt like it was a completely different person. I am honestly not sure I even liked Razor - that continued through the whole book. If I disconnected Raven from the other book and looked at this like a standalone story, overall it was good. Definitely has the MC vibe although there wasn't really other women drama (which I liked). Some of the other characters in the MC were interesting to read about, looking forward to their stories.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Raven is a close friend to Selena from The Bad Boys Of Texas series. She works at the restaurant and is part of the family, although it is not where this story takes place. Her and Maddox meet when he sees her at the strip club that is owned by the Diamondback MC. He is VP and is known as Razor. Their attraction is pretty intense from the beginning. She is the perfect woman to become his Ol Lady. Fast paced with some family drama, danger, and MC justice. I liked their story. My only complaint was I wish it was longer. Looking forward to the new series

Dirty is a hot fast story with a bit of danger, suspense and lot of lust. Raven grew up in having not only take care of her mother, but herself and she did that the best way she could. Razor is the VP of the Diamondback MC, when he can in to town to check on things, he did not expect to run in to a sassy women that was not about to back down from anything.

This is the first book of a new series that will keep you on the edge of the seat and leave you wanting more. The connection and heat between Raven and Razor is fiery and explosive with hint of fun and teasing that will have you lost in the pages.

This is a spin-off from The Bad Boys of Texas series which I loved! I was excited for Raven’s story since we met her in book five of that series. This was a good read and I loved the characters. It was filled with action, intrigue, and plenty of heat! Razor and his club are cool and protective like other MC’s which is great! I like a quick read sometimes but this one seemed a little incomplete to me. It just moved too fast. Everything seemed to happen in a couple days. I enjoyed it but do wish it were more believable.

Short steamy story, Its a standalone story, first in a new series, but coincidentally I’ve the book about girlfriend Selena of main character Raven.Its not necessary to read that one first.
Raven works in a classy strip club, Maddox is the VP of the MC that runs the club, they’ve never met before. Because there are problems, he comes to inspect the club and is immediately impressed by Raven, and vice versa Together they conquer the problems facing the strip club. and vice versa.Spicy Raven + bad bad biker = steamy HEA

Razor/Maddox was absolutely perfect for Raven, his Spitfire. We met Raven in her bestie's book, Faster. I was curious to see what type of man would be able to handle Raven and her attitude and Razor was the man for her. Neither were looking for a relationship but they couldn't deny their instant connection. Razor knew she was old lady material the first night they were together and so did his brothers. When Raven's past came back with a vengeance it was Razor and his MC that took care of it. Love Razor and Raven together and cannot wait for Shovel's book.

When Razor meets Raven, he knows he wants her and he is determined to have her. Razor wants Raven to be his old lady and when she comes to him because her mother showed up causing trouble, Razor vows to protect Raven and keep her safe. Raven likes Razor, but she wonders if he is really serious about her. I liked this book. I liked how Razor was so sure of Raven and knew she was going to be his. Razor was a good guy and i love how protective he was. I look forward to reading more of this series.

MC lite romance

I liked this story. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable with a couple of exceptions. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Sara and Mack were crazy so it was good that the club was involved to handle them. Raven was tough, resilient, and empowered. She was also sassy and strong since she had adjusted to having no one to help her. Razor (Maddox) was protective, possessive, and dominant. He was also sweet at times and at other times he was like an enforcer. Raven and Maddox had a different kind of love that wasn’t sweet, but worked for them. I really liked their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

[Aubrea · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’ll be honest even know that it was a short book I was hoping for a bit more plot or relationship. It wasn’t terribly written but everything happened in like 2 days and it didn’t make sense that he would take her back to the clubhouse bc he was worried for her safety at her apartment and then the next day leave her alone at her apartment. I also have no idea how far away the clubhouse is from her apartment bc it made it sound like it was a bit of a drive but then they also go back and forth between that and the club so idk. I’m gonna give the second one a shot but I’m only reading them bc I want to read the second generation one and a review said you still see a lot of the parents
