New York Times bestselling author, Laurelin Paige introduces an all new Dirty Filthy Rich World, with Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, a FREE prequel novella now LIVE!

dirty-filthy-rich-boys-final

When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn’t know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me.

I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted—I knew who I wanted—until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.

Because when dirty, filthy, rich boys play, they play for keeps.


In order for a novella to work, it has to have the following: compelling characters, a storyline that engages you quickly, a fast pace, and a tight narrative that allows the story to build in what is a fraction of a normal book.

Check. Check. Check. Check.

Laurelin Paige is an author I one-click without reading the blurb. Now, yes, I read the blurbs, I want to know what she is going to give us next...but I know I am going to love it.

This was a novella, and also a prequel and chance to meet Donovan, Weston and Sabrina at college, when they meet, and 10 years prior to the events in the Dirty Duet. And what a meeting. Ms. Paige takes you from a light, college party to voyeurism, to the forbidden and into the darker...in 5 chapters. She definitely sets the stage for what is to come, tells you who you will be getting to know, a little bit about them, who they are...and an idea of who they were for when you meet them 10 years later.

It's a ride worth taking and one of the best novellas I have ever read.

I can't wait to meet the men.


I'm a fan of Laurelin Paige and was so intrigued when I read this blurb-and I was not disappointed. College settings can be tricky-but I definitely wanted to see this author's take on that.This novella caught me right away and left me so anxious to read the next book in this series.  

The characters sucked me in from the start.  I'll say I felt like I was right in the environment with them, not reading from a distance.  I was on that college campus, attending class and drawn to these young men.  The title could not be more fitting for this book.  The dynamics between these three characters was not what *I* initially expected, to be quite honest, but oh I loved it.  I absolutely loved it.

I'm dying to see what happens in the next book.  I want to see what these men have become in the years since we've seen them-and see how Sabrina will handle herself around them.  I highly recommend this novella. It sets the stage for what is sure to be an epic duet from Laurelin Paige.

MR. POPULAR BY NICOLE LONDON-RELEASE BLITZ








Rule #1: Do not vote for Mr. Popular.


Rule #2: Do not talk to Mr. Popular.


Rule #3: (Most importantly, and above all) Do not fall for Mr. Popular...

Liam 'Mr. Popular' Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me.

Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get.

It wasn't always this way, though...

Several summers ago, we both attended the same summer camp. A place we returned to year after year. We became friends--close friends, but right when I thought he could possibly turn into my everything, he made it clear that what we had was nothing.

Now that's he's a senior, and I only have to deal with him for one more year, I've vowed to keep repeating the same set of rules to myself. Especially since he seems so hell-bent on wanting to talk to me for some reason, and especially since he seems to be staring at me every time we're in the same room together...

Rule #4: Always follow rules #1-3...

Rule #5: (OMG what the hell are you doing?) Do not KISS Mr. Popular...

SEX SAYS BY MAX MONROE-ARC REVIEW

Lola:

My name is Lola Sexton, and I’m a sex addict.
Okay…that’s a lie.
Truth is, I’m a serial dater turned dating and relationship columnist for The San Francisco Times. My readers call me Sex. Sex Says.
I love my job.
I love my life.
And I hate Reed Luca.
**

Reed

My name is Reed Luca, and I’m a liar.
Ironically, that’s the truth.
I’m 31, and my occupation is…well, complicated.
My favorite kind of woman comes in all shapes and sizes, but always has a big brain.
I’ve never hated anything.
Lola Sexton hates me.
Luckily, it’s a thin line between love and hate, and with my help, pretty Lola will only be able to straddle that line for so long.


Enemies to lovers can really work. The idea that people meet and instantly strike sparks of hatred is, in some ways, more believable than when people meet and fall immediately in love. But, in order for the enemies to lovers to work, I have to be able to believe that they will like one another, I need to like the characters.

Reed and Lola were enemies. And, it is pretty clear the reasons they have to dislike one another. I liked Lola, yes she was quirky, and it felt a little forced at times to me, but that is the writing style, the over the top quirky, so I can look past that.

The issue is Reed. You meet him when he is bragging about his past while admitting that lying and playing with people is his favorite way to pass the time. I need to like the hero, I need to want him to show her why he is great. Unfortunately, I never got to the point where I liked him. At all.

He stood up for her at a cost to himself, still a no. I wanted this to make me like him, and I see the evolution of his character, but at that point, I think I was too far gone to have this make me really be able to connect with him. And I think that was the issue, he rubbed me the wrong way enough that I was never able to make the transition to liking him.

He went for the meaningful gesture, still a no.

So, this is my first book by this author and while I am not a fan of this, I can say it is well written. The pacing was decent and the evolution of the story was well done. I can even say that the characters were consistent and I believed them. But, this was definitely not a great read for me.

HOLDING ON TIGHTER BY SHAYLA BLACK-REVIEW

Jolie Quinn is a woman in charge. Her no-nonsense attitude has made her a rising star in the fashion world and her brand a household name among the Dallas elite. Nothing will stop her from achieving her goals—not even the gorgeous British security contractor who seems just as interested in seeing her personal assets as he is in protecting her professional ones.

After a tragedy left him broken, Heath Powell made a rule of staying unattached. But Jolie challenges him in a way he can’t ignore, and he isn’t used to backing down from a confrontation—especially when the reward for winning could feel so good. As passion blazes between them, the stubborn, confident beauty arouses more than his desire. She touches his heart.

When a mysterious enemy threatens Jolie and her company, Heath is the only person Jolie can trust to help. But working with him to save her business might put her dangerously at risk of falling in love…


For me, a 5 star read is one you are still thinking about the next day. It's one that you can't put down, or if you do it is only because you have fallen asleep. It's one where you feel you have gotten to know the characters in the book, and have come to care about them.

I want to know what happens after the epilogue for Jolie and Heath. I loved their chemistry and their attraction to one another was amazing. I loved that she went after what she wanted. I also really liked the fact that they were both fairly sure of who they were and what they wanted.

Heath has a one-night-only rule. He doesn't break it. And then he meets Jolie...and he struggles with the rule. And then he breaks it (not really a spoiler as it would be tough for them to develop much of a relationship if he held to the rule)and the internal dialog is great. You get to know him, how he thinks, and what he wants.

I loved that Jolie was not only strong, but was able to recognize when others had her best interest at heart. I appreciated this a lot. Often, strong women are depicted as unable to recognize this and that becomes the issue of the relationship. In this, they each respected the other for who they were...and they loved one another for who they were. I liked this a lot.

And, he is intense. And this is great. This is not my first book by Shayla Black, but I have not read all of the books in this series. That said, you don't need to have read them for you to be able to enjoy this entry into the series.

I recommend this book. Highly.
