Dirty Beasts: Kane

Club Sin #2

by Jasinda Wilder

We are the cast-offs, the forgotten, the broken; we are dark, dangerous men haunted by our violent pasts.

The Guardian collects us, rehabilitates us, and gives us a new lease on life…if we follow a few, simple rules:

Once you’re in, there’s no going back; never take a life; loyalty to the brotherhood above all. 

Then, I meet HER. She’s everything I’m not, and she’s determined to save me from my own past, even as I save her from her present.

#NotRated

Nope.. After reading just 3 chapters of this, I cannot take just how clueless and annoying this chick is.. Not to mention Kane is losing his shine as well.. There's no real chemistry here between these two inside this semi-forced, close proximity situation.. And I get that she's not from the US, and she's from a different culture, but the way this author is writing her, it makes her seem dumb.. Beyond common sense level dumb, and not endearing.. So it's killing my interest big time. I just want to get away from her..

This is feeling like a Piss poor attempt as a 2nd book follow up, to book 1.

Like a strong woman? This story is for you. Throw in a brotherhood of strong men and you've got another amazing read in this series. Just when you think this series can't get any better, it does! Throw in some surprise guests and it's really hard to put this book down, until you finish it.

The opening to this one was fun! I loved that when given the chance that Anjalee got the hell out of dodge. It was kismet that when she was at the end of her running road that Kane was there. I loved that Kane was kind to her, that he saw that she had a sense of adventure and encouraged it, that in their time on the road they explored what Anjalee liked, even if it was mundane. I also loved that Only Anjalee got Kane to share his past, hated how bad it was. Anjalee was good in asking to revisit part of Kane's past, how it turned out was even better! I loved that Kane was able to put that to rest and have that connection again. Back in Vegas it was fun to see Anjalee react to Sin and fit in there. Is she an odd duck, yes, but she also fits in. I liked how things worked out for Anjalee and Kane. Their past firmly in the past, the future bright and open for them.

Another FABULOUS installment of the Dirty Beast, Club Sin ! This time we meet Richard “Kane” Sutherland and he is just as big as life as Rev was !! Except this time when he meets Annjalee Sharma he knows and feels his world is going to be turned upside down like she just turned hers.

Annjalee is a run away bride BUT for the right reasons !! She learns and knows in her heart that when you marry you marry for love and what her parents were MAKING her do was NOT for love. So when she runs out of gas in the Beast in the middle of the desert she doesn’t know what to do since she has only been in this country a shirt time. When she meets Kane she know and feels things she never felt before in her life.

Can Kane keep her safe from Jiwan Vardhamana and his army and her father too while she decides what is right for her .. for the first time in her life !!

This story will have you on a world win path .. run, stay, marry or just he happy in LOVE !! So gooddddd !!

Kane and Anjalee was everything I expect from Jasinda. Hot couple with some seriously messed up pasts. They heal each other. And they are combustible together. Kane saves her. Anjalee saves him. And they find their kind of HEA in Sin. These ex military “broken arrows” men are some seriously hot and “BIG”. I need a fan!

Holy smokes! You know those books you pick up and you’re instantly IN the book..living the ups and downs? Oof! This is one of them. I was captured right from the very beginning. Couldn’t stop reading, and honestly Jasinda hasn’t let me down yet, and obviously will never.
Love this book!!

Kane is book #2 in the Dirty Beasts series. It can be read as a stand-alone. We met Kane in Rev's book. He is huge and mostly keeps to himself. While trying to deal with his past he meets Anjalee.

They end up traveling around on his motorcycle while trying to deal with life's curve balls. I absolutely adored Anjalee! She has lived a very sheltered life. She is from India and all of the "new" cultural things that she experiences and all of her interpretations are so funny!

Kane is super macho-alpha. He speaks very old alpha male. But he is so sweet! I love his adoration of Anjalee and his willingness to protect her and yet let her choose her own path. Kane and Anjalee are an unlike but an amazing pair!

Jasinda WIlder writes amazing stories. I enjoyed Kane and look forward to the next book in the series.

[Misty Warner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the 2nd book in the Dirty Beast series. Each book can be read as a standalone but you do not want to miss any of these super buff hot guys.
Anjalee is a real life Rapunzel princess. Sheltered from everything and not allowed to make any of her own choice or leave her tower. She is being forced to marry a very bad man. Her parents will not listen to her so she decides to run away but she doesn't make it far before she runs out of gas and right into Kane.
Kane works for club Sin but since his brother Rev brought a woman into the mix he hasn't feltike he could be there. She brings up the haunting past he needs kept buried.
The chemistry between these two will have your kindle bursting into flames it's so hot. Can't wait to see whatbis in store for Chance. The next Broken Arrow brother.

Gahhh! I love these gritty guys. They are alpha to the core and who doesn’t love that. Jasinda can’t do wrong with her heroes. The characters and storyline were steamy and definitely entertaining. Could not get enough. Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

Loving this series.

[Ginny Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

How am I not supposed to love this series when the Wilders keep dishing out books that give you all the FEELS.

Kane and Anjelee. PERFECTION!! Heat. Humor... and Honor.

Ohhhh... and there are surprise guests in this book and it was... Ah-Mazing. It was like visiting friends after being a way for so long. Again.. absolutely loved and welcome it if the Wilders decide to surprise her readers again.

I'm loving this series. I'm loving the main characters as well as the supporting ones. I'm ready for all the others stories that I know will coming right along.

This book, this series is a MUST read.

[Valorie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was absolutely great with some hmmms….. I love the protectiveness in KANE and I loved how sweet and naive Anjalee was but it confused me a little. Not the bond that was formed but their overall dynamics. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the storyline but things were quick for me. Like I said, I loved it but something just felt unfinished…….this was a very good read and I especially loved the oldies but goodies addition! Was very excited to have a glimpse of what their lives are like now.

[Claire Cronin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, book 2 in this Dirty Beasts series and I'm loving it! This is definitely one of those books I couldn't put down once I had started - very addictive reading, which starts quite slow and sweet, but blimey when it gets going it's hot enough to melt your kindle!

Kane has left his Broken Arrow buddies back at Club Sin, after his brother Rev appeared with his new girl - she reminds him of someone from his past, and the guilt and hurt he feels around her is building, so he takes himself away for a while, on the road on his bike.

Anjalee is the daughter of a billionaire Indian mogul, their family is very traditional and she has been raised like a princess, wanting for nothing, yet having nothing for herself as everything was provided by her father or his goons. She has no concept of the real world, never having bought anything herself, has no real friends, never even picked her own food to eat. Her only escape from her 'tower' was travelling to a restaurant of her father's choosing. Now she is being forced into an arranged marriage to business partner of her father - she has met this man once and does not like the vibes he gives off, and she has told her parents that she will not marry him. So on her wedding day she takes an opportunity to escape by stealing the car she has arrived at her wedding in and driving away. The car runs out of fuel and she is left alone in the desert.

Luckily Kane is nearby and comes to her rescue - he is instantly attracted to her striking beauty and her accent. Anjalee is thoroughly grateful for Kane helping her, but he produces strange feelings in her body, butterflies in her stomach, and strange feelings in personal places. Kane is a gentleman through and through and is determined to keep his hands to himself and help Anj in any way he can.

This is a fantastic read, these two are complete opposites but are fantastic together! It's wonderful to see Anj learn about the real world and how well and quickly she adapts. Kane is thoroughly smitten with her and when lines are crossed he is determined to show her everything she is missing out on between a man and a woman - some of these scenes will take your breath away, they are that hot!!!!

Anj may know nothing of the world but she has a wonder head on her shoulders and can see that Kane is suffering in some way, and is determined to help him out as much as he is helping her, even though it may cost her his friendship!

A brilliant read, full of emotions, drama, angst, passion - about learning to love and learning to forgive. There are some great appearances from some Badd brothers in here that put a smile on my face! Really loving this series so far, can't wait to read about the next brother, Chance.

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, what a book! I don't want to write a spoiler, but it's hard not to just spill the beans. Okay, so here we go.... The book starts with Anjalee, she in in a desperate situation and looking for a way out. She runs and her impromptu escape leaves her stranded. This is where she encounters Kane. She's from India and is unsure of Kane's intentions. Kane is enamored with her beauty, but knows she needs his help. So, he tries to keep his mind on what she needs instead of what he'd like to do to her. Catch my drift? Great. Okay, so Anjalee, needs the help of this mountain of a man, but she is in a strange country and although she is a strong woman, she is unsure. But, life hasn't given her many choices. Plus, she is confused as to why being around him makes her body feel like it does. You following me? Fantastic.
Okay, that's all the details I can give in this review without giving away too much. There's sizzling chemistry, humor, action, steam and so much more. I hope I've enticed you enough for you to grab this book. So,
get yourself a glass of wine, curl up in your favorite reading spot and dig in. I truly couldn't put it down. If you want to enjoy this book to the fullest, read Rev first. That's book one in this series. I'm giving this series ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
book lover stars.

[Kelly Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m so glad I finally took some time to read Kane’s book!

A strong sexy cowboy ex army ranger with a broken past filled with heartbreak and death!

A sheltered Indian beauty that is being forced to marry a man she doesn’t love and has only met once.

What happens when the gorgeous woman finally takes control of her life, steals her fathers car on the day of her wedding, runs out of gas in the middle of the desert, and meets a sexy beast of a man that has an overwhelming desire to protect her?

Sparks fly and Anjalee is able to grow into the strong woman that she is meant to be. She helps Kane deal with the darkness of his past and they face the future together!

It was also really amazing seeing some characters from a couple other series in this book! I love crossovers!!

These two together are explosive and the love at first sight…swoon!

The last chapter that reveals the next book is Chance and his tall beautiful redheaded beauty….I CANNOT WAIT!!

I love everything about this series and I’m so invested in these guys and the women that complete them. I can’t wait to read all of their books, but for now I will patiently wait for Chance’s shot at love!

If you like strong heroines and men that will do anything to protect the women they love…then this series is for you.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "KANE" (DIRTY BEASTS) I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end I was hooked its full of intrigue, danger, steam, humor, desperation, fear, you can't put down till finished.
Kane is in a brotherhood once you in you can't get out, there Broken, forgotten dark dangerous men haunted by their pasts, the Guardians collect them, rehabilitate them give them a new lease on life, their rules never take a life & above loyalty.
Anjalee is from India in a strange country after running she finds herself stranded she's strong but unsure of herself then she meets this hunk of a man Kane who makes her feel things she's not sure of his intensions but needs his help.
I definitely recommend to get this amazing heartwarming story following Anhalee & Kane's journey she's determine to help him overcome his past & he helps her with her future their chemistry sizzles can these unlikely characters get a HEA you gave get this well written story to see what happens, I thoroughly enjoyed this book so well worth the read. LOVED LOVED IT!!!

Kane #2 04/27/2025

Kane just needs to get away one of the guys has hooked up and the girl reminds him so much of someone he lost so he gets on his bike and takes off. Just out side of Vegas he goes off the road to camp for the night. Tell a big monster of a suv slowest and comes to a stop. Wondering what is up he works his way closer and what he see doesn’t make sense. A woman in India traditional wear and it’s very expensive she has some impressive jewels on to. She looks under the hood then thinks she going to walk out of the desert. That’s when Kane let her know he’s there and he will help her out in the morning. Anjalee is running away from arranged marriage. Never being left out on her own she doesn’t know what she doing but she feels she can trust Kane. So their adventure begins. He will show her things and teach her thing but she will help him heal from his past. So enjoy the read and see how they get a HEA!!

Kane

Kane is truly haunted by his past. He’s made decisions in his life that he cannot outrun.

Meeting Anjalee in the desert was like seeing a mirage. This Indian beauty turns him on his heel in an instant and he cannot walk away from the pure bright light that shines from within. While he’s giving her the most desired freedom, along with a multitude of firsts to see and do, she is challenging him to stop running.

Making peace with those decisions and ghosts of his past being more joy than he ever imagined. On a path to healing, he can fully open his heart to the woman who has changed him forever.

But Anjalee’s present is about to send their joy into hell. Enter some book friends from the past and you’ve got the technology, braun and “Badd-a$$” needed to put everything to rights.

I’m enjoying this series and look forward to Chance’s story.

Must read the segue from book 1 Club Sin: Dirty Beasts Rev to appreciate the start of Kane's book. Although best read in order each story features one couple, but you need the background from the previous book for that history. Plus we get cameo from the Badd brothers! Eek! Another fantastic series. So we all know and love Kane from book 1 and we get more intimate with our beautiful cowboy with unclaimed demons haunting him. We also get to meet the woman who takes our beast and brings hope, love and redemption into his life. Kane Richard Sutherland has met his match against wealthy Hindu indian Anjalee Sharma, who I imagine looks like Disney's Princess Jasmine. These two find the freedom they both need in their own way and its romantic to read.

[Carol · Rating 3 out of 5]

After hearing what REV's story was I was anticipating what Kane was all about. Being around Myka brought back memories that Kane couldn't face so he jumps on his motorcycle to take some time for himself.
It's not long when Anjalee crashes his solitude. She was being forced to marry a man that she didn't know so she steals her fathers car and hightails it out of there. When she runs out of gas she is stranded in the middle of the dessert.
She end up going on a road trip with Kane where they end up discovering each other.
I enjoyed getting to know Kane's story. I hate to say it but Anjalee was just to innocent and for me it comes across cringy. Especially when she tries to dirty talk I just skimmed through it. It was so painful to read.

[Suzi (Obsessive Reading Disorder) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book of the series but can be read as a stand alone. Kane and his brothers are broken and live and work in the underbelly of Las Vegas. As Rev finds his HEA, Kane is triggered to his horrible past.

This book takes us out of the big city and on to a road trip. Anjalee needs help and as growly and Kane looks, he is the only one who can protect her right now.

I loved getting to know this couple. I love when the trust builds and they start to peel back the layers. Hated Anjalee's family but loved Kane's family and how they stepped up and accepted her as she was.

Can't wait for the net one to come out!

[Jas Kaur · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first 2/3rds was so good. I was hooked. It was believable and touching and still human in that noones perfect, ever. But by the last 3rd it just completely flipped and became far fetched, rushed and unfortunately I just lost my grip on the plot. If the book continued like the first parts it was on its way to a 5 however if it was all like the last 3rd, it most certainly would've scored less. I do not like writing bad reviews but I just needed to say something here.

[Roxanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Anjale and Kane are so adorable, she doesn't know about life and things and he is so broken. Kane has been running from his past and she us running from her present. They help each other learn how to accept what is right I front of them. They have chemistry and Kane is a hunk. Really enjoyed the dynamic of this couple and love the way Anjale makes Kane face the horrors he is running from. They are terrific!!!

[Sharon A Shovan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great story! Amazing how wise someone can be when they have been isolated from the world. Kane is a badass hottie who has demons from the past. He comes upon Anjalee who is stranded in the desert. They are total opposites but you what they say about that! Anjalee needed to get away from her life. But what can she do? BE BRAVE! She keeps telling herself. Maybe Kane will help her? What’s the worst that can happen, right!

[bookish Becca · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved reading Kane and Anjalees love story.
Anja makes a decision that will alter the course of her life. She’ll no longer be sheltered under her father’s umbrella. She runs into Kane while he’s simultaneously running away from his demons. They go on an adventure to where Kane opens Anjas eyes to so many new things including *spice*

The ending is chefs kiss, with both characters getting what they deserve <3

[Marika · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved loved loved Kane and Anjalee's story. Everything that happens between them is so meaningful for one or both of them and it's beautiful to witness. Anjalee coming on her own and owning her life and Kane dealing with his own past.
I am really enjoying this series and I can't wait for the next book!

Keep em coming!!! So happily surprised to see book #2 in this NEW series and damn did it read just as wonderful as #1. Love this new crew of sexy beasts and their intense lives. Really love this female character and her unique background. So happy to see not just a white 20something in college etc.
Bonus LOVE the unexpected ties to two other amazing series!! Cant wait for more BEASTS!

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the first book in this series, but this book just went on for far too long, it’s could’ve been done in half the time. There was too much explanation and talking going on that didn’t really add value to the story. I just got bored and actually skipped through some parts. That’s not to say that I didn’t like the book, I loved the characters, plot and story.
