4.5 “Donovan Kincaid” Kisses
Ummm…yup…I’m so beyond happy with my decision to wait and read the Dirty Duet back to back because O-M-F-G! I am over the moon hooked. Like I might need another universe to contain my addiction to this duet. I read both Dirty Filthy Rich Boys and Dirty Filthy Rich Men in less than 24 hours and every second that I am not reading Dirty Filthy Love feels like pure torture. So, yup…insanely addicted and I can’t even feel bad about it. Dirty Filthy Rich Boys is actually the first 20-ish% of Dirty Filthy Rich Men, it sets everything up perfectly and if I thought my excitement was all for nothing about DFRM, I am totally certifiable because good Lord almighty, Laurelin Paige proved (yet again!) why I absolutely LOVE her writing.
Sabrina Lind…well, I pledged my undying love for Sabrina in my review for DFRB and with DFRM, that love only intensified. 27 year old Sabrina is just as amazing as 17 year old Sabrina…still strong, still insanely smart, but with more experience and knowledge about herself. She’s more confident, more self-aware…she’s got a little more sass and spunk, which I think is definitely a product of age and maturity. I do have to say there were a couple of instances (mainly towards the end) where her actions frustrated me to no end…yes, it was because she was doing what I didn’t want her to do but that wasn’t the point. I did see/understand her logic and emotions for why she was doing them…but it was still frustrating. It didn’t stop me from loving her – far from it, I love her despite them. Sabrina was so strong except where one man with powerful hazel eyes is concerned…
‘Once upon a time I would have let rich boys get away with s#!t like that. I had let rich boys get away with much worse. Not anymore.’
Donovan Kincaid…once again, I tried so freaking hard not to be drawn to this man and once again I failed miserably. If I thought Donovan was an ass before, in ten years he has mastered the art of being an ass. He could teach classes about it, win awards – the Oscar of Ass Holes. And I loved basically every second of it. Even when it was killing me, a sick, twisted part of me still loved it. Ugh…how one man can be such a dick and yet make my heart melt is beyond my capability of understanding…but there you have it. I still didn’t get enough of him…still don’t know as much about him as I want to…but gawd he has me insanely hypnotized. His power, his dominance, his control over every single situation…how easily he can read Sabrina, how no matter how hard he tries, his true intentions spill from every unspoken word, every glance and even the most subtle gestures.
‘I hated how much I wanted him to kiss me.
“Why do you do this to me?” I whispered.
His lips hovered above mine. Dancing. Teasing. “Do what?”
“Trap me like this.”
“It makes me feel like I have you.”
I ached at my core. “I don’t want you to feel like you have me.”
“Are you sure of that?”’
Holy hotness with a side of wow…I don’t know if I can truly do justice to Sabrina and Donovan. They’re hot passion mixed with a twisted history and I flat out couldn’t love it more if I tried. It’s funny because with the set up in DFRB and the beginning of DFRM, I was honestly expecting a possible love triangle, or at least love triangle-ish with Weston but it was pretty clear early on that there was and will never been anything that can compete with the connection that Sabrina and Donovan have. They’re like a lock and key, they just fit perfectly and trying to deny that chemistry is completely and totally futile. Their sexual connection is fire…so off the charts hot, I couldn’t even feel guilty about loving it as much as I did. Their balance is…interesting – it’s obvious that he holds all the power and honestly, that would normally irk me. I am totally fine with alpha males, guys having their domineering “I’m in charge” attitude – 9 times out of 10 I think it’s incredibly hot and on Donovan it’s just plain sinful – but the power balance between Donovan and Sabrina is quite unique. On the outside it would seem that he holds all the power…he calls the shots, he makes the rules and she is stuck playing his game because he is the only one that gets her…she’s been addicted to this guy for 10 years and she doesn’t have the will to say no to him…but I truly believe that she holds more power on him than he is willing to admit. I guess time will tell…
“I could have anyone’s mouth on me,” he said, his breaths short. “Any woman I want. Money can buy the prettiest lips, the most famous mouths, the deepest throats. And still, for ten years, all I can think about is your mouth. It’s only yours I want. Why can’t I get over your godd___ lips?”
Laurelin Paige is magical…brilliant…a genius that continually overpowers me with her ability to write novels that shoot straight into my heart and reside there forever. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is just another in a looooooong (and continuing to grow) list and after years of mind blowing awesomeness, I can basically say if she ever stops writing, I will go into mourning. She has this ability to create characters that feel so real, story lines that leave me gasping and dying for more and an emotional web that I’m so tangled in, but I don’t ever want to be set free of. I adore her writing…it’s magnetic, I feel compelled to read and her books are unputdownable…clearly, I finished a novella and a novel in less than 24 hours…but it’s so much more than that. I don’t take for granted the fact that she is able to pack such an ultimate punch with her words that she leaves me reeling.
‘“That doesn’t mean I’m any less vile.”
“Because I want you to scare me, and you know it. Because the way you’re vile fits the way I’m vile.” I sucked hard on his thumb.
“You’re not vile,” he groaned. He drew his wet thumb from my lips and placed his hand firmly behind my neck so he could pull me down toward him.
“Then neither are you,” I managed before his mouth crashed against mine.’
So….the ending – I knew to expect the cliff hanger, I wasn’t sure how exactly it would happen and in true Laurelin form, she delivered a goodie. I am one of the few (possibly weird) readers that loves cliff hangers…if it is good, well timed, flows with the story and isn’t done for shock value. This cliffy definitely falls into all of those categories. It fits a purpose, it plays right into the emotional rollercoaster that I have been on with Sabrina and Donovan and I really like it – cause obviously it has me dying to get into Dirty Filthy Rich Love. I am so anxious to see where Laurelin takes the story but it’s been pretty amazing so far, so I have no doubt she’ll continue to blow my mind with the finale. #DirtyFilthyRichAddicted

Sometimes you have to play dirty, and oh did Laurelin Paige take me on a deliciously dirty ride with Dirty Filthy Rich Men!

This romance rages, smolders, and stings from start to finish, a tingling tale felt everywhere. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a riveting roller coaster of a romance of tantalization and thrills...pure adrenaline-fueled addiction!The outside world closed around me, ceasing to exist, as I was captive to the best Dirty Filthy Rich Men. I was tangled and twisted in every part of this thrilling tale from the start! Pulse-pounding, breath-bating, mind-mesmerizing, heart-hitting, and soul-searing, Dirty Filthy Rich Men is not just a book; it’s an entrancing, electrifying and emotionally-entwined escape into another world…MY WORLD!!! I could not get enough of this deliciously dirty romance that raced through my head, as I raced to turn the pages, where I became dirty too. Dirty Filthy Rich Men was my angst…my ache…my addiction…my ALL!!! He was a special kind of catnip.This romance was my catnip. Dirty Filthy Rich Boys was my dark, dirty, and delicious drug…one I did not only want but NEED. I needed this story like air to breathe, as Dirty Filthy Rich Boys became my breath, branding me.After ten years, Sabrina Lind is reunited with the dark and devilish man who stole her body and still dances in her dreams after so much time apart. Dark-haired, green-eyed, tall, and muscular Donovan Kincaid is both sinner and saint. Deliciously dirty and super rich, Donovan is the ultimate player. I did not want to like this mysterious man, but I could not help but fall hard and fast for this bad boy…scorching HOT in every way. “The problem is that the thing you really want to stop isn’t me, it’s how you react.”Donovan’s dominant words possessed me, lighting a fire that burned from head to toe where I MELTED like molten lava.Sabrina and Donovan's cat-and-mouse game was amplified, more racy and risky than ever. So THRILLING where I could not stop the surge of power from this story that permeated through me. I had the impulse to slap him, but it was lost when his mouth crashed against mine. Then I couldn't think about anything but him—his hands, his body, his victory over me. It was such an easy surrender.I could not help but combust from this fire-hot kiss that raked over my body as if I were floating over hot coals…so heated…so hot! The push and pull had me panting…wanting…needing more. The connection with Donovan and Sabrina was INTENSE, I felt it through my bones—a shiver through me—as their link was so strong that even if these two opposites were separated, the connection would be felt in spades. We were a set, bound together by Cellophane. It smothered, making it hard to breathe.A thrilling and tantalizing tale of deliciously dirty players, Dirty Filthy Rich Men is a cat-and-mouse game of epic proportions, a HIGH felt all the way to the sky! Hudson may have to make room for Laurelin Paige’s most intense alpha yet!!!

This scintillating story SEDUCED ME…everywhere. I could not help but feel every word I read and live every part of this delectable and daring adventure. I LOVED this brilliant book so hard! Dirty Filthy Rich Men blazes with fire—bleeding angst— and oh did I get BURNED in what is Laurelin Paige’s best book yet!!! I still need another hit or ten of this delicious drug.Oh Laurelin Paige! I am so addicted to this scintillating story and series that OWNS every ounce of me! So incredibly good! I could not devour this heart-stopping sexy and strong story fast enough. The plot is powerful, the characters are combustible, and the writing is off-the-charts incredible, flowing with a heady mix of feels and fire. Laurelin Paige has brought her A-game out to play in Dirty Filthy Rich Men, a gem that is as stunning as it is dirty. Oh did I love getting dirty!6 scintillating stars!!!
