I thought this would be the end. It's not. I need more of Eoin and Jaine, ironic because I read every book in this interconnected series just to see Jaine and Padraig be endgame. But now I want Eoin to be part of this.
It was an open ending 😭😭. I love Padraig, I did not love all the books in this series, especially not Razr, but I read everything just for Padraig, but I need more JJ and Eoin and Jaine. If you told me whilst I was reading book 1 to 4 and the begining of book 5 that I would like Eoin and Jaine together, I would have said BS, but Eoin's book and his POV here did it for me.
Also, I just have to mention that Jaine has a very specific type which we already know i.e 'they look so alike they CAN BE brother or straight up ARE brothers'. When Nate came in and his character was described my first thought was that he sounds like Jaine's type. The irony of this thought because a few chapters later it turns out he essentially IS her type 💀. Not that this point was of any significance to the story, we don't need anybody else in the story.
After Ace I thought it would finally be time for Jaine and Padraig's story to shine. But after Eoin's story I had doubts. I thought because of how long this book was compared to the others, it would conclude the story. It didn't, it felt like the ending of Ace which was only the beginning of the story. But this book is said to be the last so I don't get it! I want Jaine and Eoin's story to conclude the way Padraig suggested 😭.
There is one thing though, I LOVE that at least my ship since Ace has finally sailed. I love that Jaine and Padraig are FINALLY and officially together, that was literally all I wanted for this series since book 1. I am so happy about this fact, because honestly at several points throughout this series I did not think Jaine and Padraig would get the HEA they deserve.

I finished it in one day because I was waiting badly for Padraig book. I wanted to read it after reading the Ace . It was a long wait but oh boy ! It’s worth it. Harley totally nailed it . I knew she would create something magical .
My heart was shattering and was crying but also happy while reading it . I love both EOIN and Paddy. Seriously I can’t choose between them. In this book Eoin was a total normal guy not the mob boss Type . In his own book he showed his other side but in this one my poor heart couldn’t take it . I love you Harley for writhing such beautiful and magical books. I detached myself form the real world and totally got engrosed in this one . Love multiple POvs . Especially Paddy’s , Jaine and Eoin. I love them.

Speechless
Not even sure how to write a review for this book. I have loved these characters for so long. While the ending isn't my HEA.... it is an HEA. We all loved Paddy from the beginning but along the way, much like Jaine.... we were made to love Eoin. Harley did an excellent job of making all these stories work. I will never forget these books.

A book I wanted to read and know about PADDY more since the first book ACE came out last year and finally I got to read it. I was on cloud nine. I love Paddy’s character so much, his emotions are the ones I can relate to closely. He is never been far behind in my mind ever since Harley introduced him. It’s a much-awaited book for me.
Harley, you know how much I adore your writing and you have outdone yourself in this one. It’s the best work in all the Six books of this series. If there is no heartbreak and devastation then it’s not Harley’s book. So be prepared for this roller coaster ride which is not easy and is full of twists and turns.
While reading the book I was sad and hurt, the emotions were too much to handle at many times. The happy moments were there but they were far and between. The mystery created is the SOUL of the book which strikes the heart directly and leaves you wanting for more. The BLURB is the coolest since Harley writes amazing ONES.
Jaine and Paddy are ‘IT’ for ME, they deserve so much but this book gives you a hard reality check in many terms. All the characters feel the burn of the situations they all have found themselves in. I am happy with the way the story progressed and with all the answers which were very much needed throughout the series. This book is WORTH all the hurt and tears.
I want to say a lot but I’ll refrain myself and let you all enjoy the book yourself.

I dont think I stopped crying the entire way through this book.
Ever since ace came out I've been dying for Irish's story, and boy was it worth it. This whole series has had a huge hold on my heart and Harley thank you to the ends of the earth for allowing me to be on your arc team from day one.
After Irish accepts his life of a marriage to a woman he never loves the last thing he expects is that his whole family have been deceiving him for years. We've watched his heart be broken over and over again for 12 years.. Will Irish finally get a happy ending?

I do not typically read series but I got sucked into this one and hard. I love the writing style and how everything is all connected. Spoilers**** I was sad how it ended which I was not at all ready for. I was always team Irish but Eoin slipped in there too and I so wanted Jaine to end up with both of them. I hope we have another book after this and her baby is Eoin’s because that man deserves her and to be a dad. He was so good to JJ!

This series was so good. All the feels hot spice. I’m so disappointed in the ending. I feel let down. it felt rushed and unfinished.

Intoxicating.
This is by far the BEST book of the series. The author did a freaking marvelous job at ending the series for us and tying up all the loose ends. We are finally left with a conclusion for Jaine Jones. Some may think of it as a HEA. Some may think its not yet finished. I personally love how the author ended it because honestly, she can continue on with this series if she really wants to OR we as the reader can imagine something continues. This book is pure perfection. I devoured it like their was no tomorrow.
Eoin? Padraig? Eoin? Padraig? "How do you choose between the man you love and the man you love? You can't."
Without trying to give too much away, this book continues right where we left off previously. Who knew from ACE, we would be here? There is so much emotion and turmoil in this book, you cant help but turn every single page as fast as you can.
Jaine's relationship with Eoin is like a Molotov cocktail. 'Physical. Volatile. Intense.' But she loves him. She also loves Paddy. But he's in a happy committed relationship with Sofia so theirs no point to mention anything, right? When Jaine realizes that love does not conquer all, she makes a brutal decision that will change the course she is currently headed on.
Padraig is back. Only now, he knows the truth and Jaine is learning she was lied to. She never got his blessing to be with Eoin and soon the lies start stacking up. Who has been trying to kill everyone off? Is Jaine the main target? Will the Exterminator come out to play, or has 'he' retired after all?
With death threats coming out of everywhere, so many secrets left to be told and the ultimate love triangle Jaine finds herself in, this has been by far the most emotional and action-packed book yet and I literally cannot stop gushing about it. I loved this book so much. The writing was flawless and the overall storyline is jaw-dropping.
Personally for me, I wanted a different ending. But, with that being said - I STILL worshipped this book and am in awe. This author has made me a fan for life with this entire series and I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us!
"The end game."
"He's trying to tame the untamable."
"...wanted to lock me up in a gilded cage. He wanted to clip my wings so I could never fly off even when he let me out. I don't want to exist. I don't want to be an extension of him. I want to live. I want to be me."
"A lawyer and a serial killer. She's the most perfect woman in the world for me."
*Overall 5/5
*Series Overall 5/5
*Heat? 3/5 (More emotional in this one, but the tension is still combustible)
*Fast Burn
*Multiple first person POV
*Ends on HEA? Maybe? You decide...
*Bonus Epilogue

This is probably one of the best series' I have ever read. I have been put through it all with these books and still want/need more! Harley had me so hooked from the very beginning. I didn't want to put the books down not once since I started with Ace. I can't even put into words how great these were. On a side note though I can say I'm not happy either after reading these. Haha, how am I going to find a book to measure up now? This Author set the bar high and I'm not so sure anything will meet my expectations now!!

mixed…
Ugh…. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I didn’t want it to end this way! I do feel like this wasn’t the best out of the series. It felt rushed by using a lot of repetitive filler. We get that they are in love with each other. I couldn’t decide on the rating, I definitely had mixed feelings with this one. repetition really hurt Padraig’s story because it really had some major 5* moments. 3*-5* It could have used more bonding time between brothers instead of she’s in love with both Yada yada yada… BUT with that being said I really would love for another book where Jaine gets her double the trouble happy ending if you know what I mean!!

An emotional roller-coaster!
Great ending, though unnecessarily long. I don't generally like angsty books but there was a reason for the angst. Lies, making decisions for others and more lies, lol

I'm not sure how I feel now that I have finished this book.
The emotional rollercoaster was worth every heart break!
I ADORED these books, I'm actually gutted that I can't read them again for the first time! ❤️

Reading is a must!
Again this queen successfully delivered. It answered questions as well as made you ponder what will happen in future novels.
The sleepless night/ early morning reading was well worth it. Now to save for future paperbacks

Harley has a way of captivating her readers with such a unique and intriguing storyline that is unlike any other. I’ve been so invested since book one, Ace, and I was so thrilled to receive an early reading of it.
If you’ve read any of Harley’s books you know this story will hook you right in with its characters, the development between them and the overall story itself. It’s full of twists and turns that keep you guessing. I’ve loved Jaine and Paddy’s story from the very beginning and have been rooting for their love. I needed them to have their moment and their time together.
I enjoyed the flashback history between Paddy and Jaine. It really gives you a clear picture of what happened between them and why they had their falling out years ago. It brought a little more to the story.
If you’ve read all the other books you know what happens leading up to this book especially with Eion, Paddy and Jaine. I was content with how Dirty Eoin ended as I felt it fit the story. So I went into Dirty Padraig maybe thinking it needed to go a certain way myself…which doesn’t always happen as authors have their own vision.
While I enjoyed MANY aspects of this book from the tension to the action I struggled more with this one than any other. Jaine is like a cat with 9 lives. She just won’t die lol. Of course I never actually wanted her to but sometimes it just felt like it was too much. I unfortunately really had a hard time with the repetitive nature of some of the conversations. The back and forth and the too frequent “You need to talk to…” really grated on my nerves. The miscommunication between this entire family is exhausting and that truly was my biggest complaint! Pick up the phone, talk and let’s get this going! However I think that’s just part of all the twists and turns and deceit that’s been woven into the story line. I definitely think the story could have been shorter had it progressed a bit faster and some scenes could have been cut.
I don’t want to give spoilers away to what happens because if you’ve gotten this far you need to finish it but I definitely saw the ending being different. I am sorry Harley! You know I love you but man…I needed more of Paddy and Jaine time. It felt like still too much of a continuation of the previous book and then we had hints of how the future could have been based on certain scenes and conversations to BAM…Adios! Ummm what?! Why?! Yes Paddy and Jaine are meant but…that can’t be all?! Why all these “What could be’s?” and “I am torn between two. I don’t want to choose.”
I really contemplated about my review for some time because I had such intense feelings reading this book. I smiled and laughed, cried and felt heartbroken, got mad and exhausted. It even left me wanting so much more! I have so many more thoughts but I don’t want to say any spoilers.
*After a lengthy conversation with the Author I totally get her side of the story and she definitely understands mine. THIS IS NOT THE END so while I go buckle up my seat belt and prepare for more just know my review was based off my feelings at the end of this book unknowing there’s more coming…that’s probably going to give me a nervous breakdown. 😂

Best series ever
This is one of the best series I have ever read it's a bit emotional, and I can't wait for the next book

disappointing
After reading all 6 books in really well written series, the find book ending is very disappointing. It felt unfinished

Thank you Harley for the ARC.
"Our souls have always been intertwined. You feel that too, darlin'?"
When you have to learn to just exist to get by. To ignore reality because if you focus on it for too long, you’ll want to end it all. Padraig. I’ve waited so long for this and my heart just breaks for him. And Jaine. What is. What could have been. The future. How everything came to be and how different it should have been. This love story is one for the ages. Loss. Acceptance. Don’t let time steal away your truth. Say what needs to be said. Eoin. An animalistic connection that can’t be sated. Lust turned to love. But is love enough? Choices. Deceit. Consequences. Two souls intertwined. Destined to be. Unconditional love. Sacrifice. Pain. Truth. Forgiveness. And only one future. One where two people win and one loses. Ugh. I don’t know how I feel. I’m happy. I’m sad. But how could this turn out any other way. Such an intricate, passionate, emotional series. One I love to death.
“Penny for them.”
"You were all I saw, Irish."
“I love you. Always have. Always will.”
“For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
“Joined by fate. Sealed by blood.”
"Every single day, I had to force myself to open my eyes because the only thing I had to look forward to was closing them again. She was my first thought. My last thought. She was my every fucking thing. You took away my reason for living."
“We love who we love.”
"I love you so fucking much, Jaine. Right from that very first moment, I knew you were it for me. I've refused to let you go because I truly believe that we were meant in every life that's ever been and in every life that's yet to be. You have always been my end game. "
“How do you choose between the man you love and the man you love? You can’t.”
“In our life, we need to grab love and happiness where we can, so follow your heart and don't try to second guess what it's telling you.”

INFINITY STARS!!!!
I wish I can give this series infinity stars. What started as a book I bought on impulse because of the blurb and the cover turned into a god-tier series for me. Literally one of the top 3 most favorite. Only 3 books have made me tearful and emotional and two of those books are in this series. This wraps up the Outlaw Chess series to date and whilst this book tied up a lot of loose ends I feel like this isn’t the end. I have grown to love a lot of these characters and while I will forever be grieving one of them, this character will always have my heart and will remain one of my favorites of all time. This series had EVERYTHING, all the feelings, a whole lotta heart, action, joy, heartbreak and the wittiest banter. It had a lot of characters you’d love and those that you hate, are truly vile. Jaine is the ultimate FMC and all her decisions in this - well, I can totally understand and sympathize including the fact that her heart loves a lot of people. I am particularly attached to JJ who, as a toddler, is very much a fringe character but you can tell that he has the most beautiful soul and will be stunning inside and outside just like his daddy. I am begging the author to write a second gen series after hopefully a few more books in this series or even an interconnected universe. This is one of those series that will stay with me for a long time and I can only say that about this and another series put of the hundreds of books I’ve read in the last couple of years. I’m so glad I discovered this author and Harley Diamond will now and forever more be an auto buy author for me. I cannot wait for further books in this series and other books.

I have never read a crossover series quite like this one. This book was action-packed and had so many unexpected twists. I think I experienced just about every emotion while reading this book from crying to laughing to just pure anger. I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to see what Harley Diamond has planned next.
I had been anxiously waiting for this book since I started this crossover series. I loved Irish from the first time we met him in Ace but this book just showed all the different sides of him. I didn’t like Eoin initially but after his book Dirty Eoin, I fell for him too. I was anxious the entire time trying to figure out how this love triangle was going to work out. I don’t want to give anything away because this book is just too good to ruin with spoilers.
I absolutely loved Jaine. She is strong, independent, but does have a vulnerable side that we get to see a lot throughout this book. I definitely need more of Jaine and the rest of the Dusters because there story definitely doesn’t seem to be over yet. So much happened in this book but I’m greedy and just want more!

The most awaited book in the Hudson Dusters Mob
Collection.
I have loved Padraig from the very start. This book made me so happy because I know him now in another level.
Writing this review is making me emotional, because finally!!! 🤌🏼🥹 I've never read a book so fast while savoring it because I just don't want this book and series to end. 💔
"Our souls have always been intertwined. You feel that too, darlin'?" This line always gives me all the feels because I do feel their connection. 💕
This series is like a web written so beautifully. @harleydiamondauthor has a serious talent! With everything going on, the pacing and changing of povs were just flawless. This series has been a rollercoaster ride full of love and action and longing and pain and tears. God, I cried so much reading this! The chemistry was undeniable.
The spice was boiling hot! 🥵
If you are interested to read MCs and mob related, I highly highly recommend this series. The books should be read in their crossover order: Ace, Dirty Cillian, Razr, Dirty Dylan, Dirty Eoin and Dirty Padraig.
⚠️ Please be aware of the trigger warnings.

Wow! Where do I begin? Paddy has been one of my favorite Dirty Duster characters since being first introduced in Ace’s crossover story. I couldn’t wait for Paddy’s story, and let me tell you, Harley Diamond never disappoints. The author has an incredible way of creating characters that make you feel for them and their circumstances, cheer them on, cry for them, and even get angry at them. Warning! Your emotions will take a crazy ride of ups and downs with twists and turns.
Two brothers, one woman, and the brothers are like night and day. One is sensitive and funny; the other is possessive and menacing. Both are dangerous in their own ways.
What happens when there is betrayal between two brothers in a world where family means everything, and betrayal will cost you your life?
Can she choose between the two of them or walk away from both?
I have loved every word of the Hudson Duster Irish Mob Series and highly recommend all books written by the talented Harley Diamond.

I hate that this story had to end
I haven't reviewed the previous books apart from giving them 5 stars. You did an excellent job of weaving a compelling , dramatic narrative, even though some storyline choices, Ace and Eion left me heartbroken. There was so much conflict that could have been avoided with honesty, but acknowledge that these deceptions fueled the suspense. You got the balance between frustration, heartbreak and engagement to make a great 6 book story. There is not an HEA for everyone, leaving the reader wanting more. Do you think there's room for a sequel, maybe a certain Duster finding his own path to happiness? A menace A trios? A certain DA becoming more than a player? Jaine, for all her pain and heartache was also lucky to find that kind of love from and with three so different men. I want more, please give us more.

Romeo and Juliet take two
Sad that this series is over, it’s been a real emotional rollercoaster. All the conflicting feelings and emotions, the lies and half truths that have come between Jaine, Paddy and Eoin. I was really hoping for an alternative ending but have still enjoyed the way things turned out eventually. When all the secrets come out and the truths laid bare there are some shocking revelations. We get the answers to the questions that have been raised throughout the series like the identity of Jaines biological father and who is Roisins illegitimate child. All in all a fantastic book, think I may just re read the whole series.

A well worth the wait conclusion
I absolutely loved this crossover series
It has my favorite genres of MC and mafia, surprise, pregnancy, hidden baby all mixed in one
This story is the conclusion of the plain, Jaine Jones saga
This woman is anything except plain she is a powerful attorney and entrepreneur a biker a mother sister, a daughter And an executioner. She’s everything and yet she has such a vulnerable side to her that makes your heart break for her.
All the other series have led up to the powerful conclusion in this one. It was well worth the wait.

Batting a 1000!!!!
I have been hooked on this series since book 1 of ACE, and I have been anticipating this book since that first one! I have loved every book with its characters and story, but through them all, Paddy has been lingering, waiting for his ever after to happen, and it FINALLY did, and it was a knockout! It's my opinion and my opinion only, but this has to be the best series I have ever read. The detail, emotion, and storyline that wrap and twist through all 6
books are phenomenal! This book wrapped it up perfectly!

I love to read but sometimes it’s hard to find a book that touches all your emotions but this one does!! I’ve laughed, cried, been in suspense, cursed out loud & even woke up in the middle of the night to read some more! I’m thinking of rereading to make sure I didn’t miss anything because when I can’t actually sit down & read I turn on my audiobook feature to get pressing things done. I hope any & everyone who reads this series loves it because the author deserves to know how good they are!!! Can’t wait to find the next read!!!
