Dirty Filthy Rich Men (Dirty Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 “Donovan Kincaid” KissesUmmm…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

Sabrina annoyed me.... There were times when I wanted to stop reading because she aggravated me, she allowed Donovan to treat her badly and she still went to him like a puppy begging for attention, it was annoying.... Then when she would saybshe had enough, I was like finally she is gonna have a backbone, she is gonna stick up for her self but nope it's like he snaps his fingers and she goes crawling back to him.... He tells her to take off her underwear after he treated her like nothing for a week, and she does what he said.... I love Donovan, I liked his attitude, I liked the way he acted, but the book was sour because Sabrina was weak, the book would of been better if she fought him, if she gave his attitude back to him, if she put him in his place, treated him the way he treated her.... I honestly don't know if I want to put my self threw reading another book if Sabrina is just gonna go begging him to be with him, forcing her self on to him...

He is the one that you want to LOVE and HATE but if we are truly being honest, he is the alpha man that you secretly desire and crave for."But it was never what he wore or how recently he’d trimmed that made him sexy. It was how he stood, how he moved. Like he owned every inch of space that he took up. Like he deserved to own it. It was how he looked at me. Like he owned me. Like he deserved to own me.”Sabrina Lind has a past with these two men. Weston was her college crush. Her ideal man. Donovan, on the other hand, was the man that she desired and craved for. He was her dirty secret and fantasy wrapped up into one. So when, Donovan broke her heart in her freshman year of college, she never intended to see him again. Well never say never, because fast forward to ten years later, Sabrina finds herself reuniting with her dirty filthy rich men.So when Sabrina moves to New York City to start her new job, she is reunited with Weston King, her new boss.

I needed escape, but I needed him too— with every part of me, I needed him. Needed him to fill me and *$#%^ me and bend me and break me, and, oh god, it was going to hurt when he did. ”The push and pull connection brewing between Sabrina and Donovan is intense and that is putting it mildly. Honestly, there are no words to describe their connection. They just fit together as they both satisfy their wants, needs, cravings, and desires. With Sabrina’s need for dirty, filthy sex and Donovan’s fulfillment of her fantasies, they both found someone who made them feel alive. Their obsession for each other runs so deep and so when Sabrina thought she finally had Donovan all to herself, he once again finds a way to tarnish and ruin their connection. Will Sabrina finally find the reason behind Donovan’s need to push her away into the arms of Weston?Laurelin Paige has delivered one of my favorite reads of 2017. This book was everything that I wanted, craved and needed. The writing was flawless. The execution of the story line was on point as it had me on the edge of my seat as I waited for that moment when Laurelin Paige would drop that bombshell of drama and angst. I loved how the characters of this book were introduced. They were raw, honest, and vulnerable. Laurelin allowed readers to see their flaws and beauty. Nothing was hidden to the reader. You either loved them or hated them. And let me just say, I did not hate anyone because I embraced Donovan Kincaid and Sabrina Lind’s complicated connection. Yes, their love story is not the norm but what love story is. It just happened that Donovan and Sabrina share a certain kind of sexual kink that works for them. An understanding and passion that they both can only explain. A love that is dirty, filthy and raw."Donovan Kincaid. So many things I wanted to know and yet didn’t need to know. And if I knew them, would I lose the attraction? Knowledge banished fear. If I understood him, would I lose the fear that drew me to him in the first place? I already knew the answer, and it was almost as frightening to face as the question. Because in between the banal thoughts, others wove in, more vague in form and heavier in weight. Thoughts like how the things I felt sitting next to this man right now were wider and deeper than lust and desire. They didn’t stop at what we’d already shared—the dirty sex, the filthy fantasies. They moved further into other realms. ”So if you are looking for a story that will have you consumed and begging for more, trust me when I tell you that YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. Yes, shouty bold caps are needed because this book was dirty, filthy, sinful and wildly intoxicating.

I was supposed to be reading other books, but I started this book on Radish and then realised that I already owned it!"The problem is that the thing you really want to stop isn't me, it's how you react."This story was hot AF! It was dark, a little bit depraved, but made my heart thump and wish so, so hard for a happy ending. Sabrina Lind suffered a trauma in her freshman year at Harvard and was saved by Donovan Kincaid - the best friend of her major crush, Weston King. Donovan became the object of her obsession in a desperate bid to get over her PTSD. Another trauma has her abruptly leaving Harvard, never to return. Ten years later, she’s back in their lives. She knows that Weston is the good, safe guy, but her depraved cravings will only be satisfied by Donovan. The one with the untouchable heart."I was inside his trap now. Stuck. And his hold wasn't fragile at all. I was going nowhere until he cut me loose."This story was such addictive reading! I was totally, irrevocably hooked! Under his slick suits and cold demeanour, Donovan was a walking bleeding heart. He could try to deny it all he wanted, but his interest and care for Sabrina was stamped into his every action. Sabrina felt weakened by her desires but she didn’t realise that she held just as much power as Donovan. I adored that everything he denied that he wanted, was EVERYTHING he really wanted."When I fall in love, I become so consumed, so preoccupied with the person I'm in love with that I do things I shouldn't. I get involved. I intervene."Gaaah! Loved this story so much and will be reading the concluding part to their story as soon as I can.

***May contain spoilers***"There were men who were intended for futures, and there were men who were intended for filth. Donovan was intended for filth, and he was wise to lay it out from the beginning."Well hot damn!Laurelin certainly knows how to write men that will speed up your heart rate, raise your temperature and make all other men seem kinda boring and well normal. There is nothing normal or boring about Weston or Donovan and I am certain there are #teamweston and #teamdonovan forming everywhere right now due to these two. I can tell you I switched sides more times than I like to admit and there were even times I straddled the line and swooning over both. I also adored Sabrina! The characters are strong and you can connect with them almost straight away. What ever you feel towards them you will feel it fiercely and probably with conviction especially towards Donovan. He's not an easy man but my God is he easy to fall in love with! The story will take you by the balls and make absolutely no apologies for doing so. You will be absolutely gripped and flying through the pages to find out what comes next. Every last detail about this story is seductive and completely edible!I was absolutely smitten from the beginning, but then I only need to see Laurelin's name and I am there! I love the way she builds a story, the way she pulls a reader in and had the power to keep you hooked throughout. But no think what I love the most is how Laurelin's writing has the ability to make you feel. You feel every last ounce of emotion that she pours into her writing and the story.I really can't wait until September to read what happens as we continue this amazing story!

Donovan Kincaid should come with a warning. The man is filthy and you will fall in love with him. He is beyond another a****le I've read in a while, maybe ever.He the epitome of alpha hotness and Sabrina is a lucky girl or is she, he pushes every button but she loves it - he is the kind of man she needs, Weston King is too safe, Donovan is danger with a capital D.I loved this book so much I wanted to make it last until September, but Donovan waits for no one. You see after my recent book funk, the books I've loved I've wanted to last, with this one I didn't want it to end and I wanted to keep the feelings this book made me feel.So if your looking for a dirty rich filthy man to fulfill your fantasy this book and Donovan is for you.

Donovan and Sabrina story was interesting. A brief attraction starting at college then obsessively lasting 10 years before they re-connect. It's a story worth preserving after the free prequel, which was a bit teen romance- crush on hot cute rich guy, before admitting that teacher is a bit of a hottie too. The attempted rape scene by Theo was tactfully done and good on LP for including a contentious topic in her book. Sabrina desire for rough sex is perhaps a recovery mechanism, which she then seems to enjoy.To present day and the weekend fling with Weston, was a good one to cross off her 'bucket' list, doesn't come across that he was as her 'Mr va-va-voom' though, luckyily for Donovan. Sabrina and Donovan have very sexual focused relationship, doesn't seem to be much chit-chat. Appreciate Donovan is rather controlling and seems to prefer to push Sabrina away, rather than address their demons.I'd give the book 4 stars. It's a good read, perhaps not as "sex dirty flithy " as I expected it to be by reading the book synopsis hype - That could just be my slutty-sex optimistic mindset!?!I purchased the next book in the series already, as it was a package buy, therefore I know the HEA outcome (I'm a quick reader)...

Donovan has to be the most mysterious, dominating, confusing, yet addictive man I’ve ever had the pleasure to read about. From the very start he kept me on my toes. With him, and with Sabrina – with their story – I never knew what was going to happen next, which only had me devouring this book all the more. Twelve hours went by and I didn’t even notice. To say I was hooked is an understatement – I was consumed. From the very start, through everything that happened in this book, to that ending that has left me cursing and screaming for Dirty Filthy Rich Love - I loved it all.From what we got in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, we simply see how it is Sabrina knows and meets Donovan Kincaid and Weston King, and we see how it is both boys changed her life. In Dirty Filthy Rich Men, this story takes place ten years later, and we see how, once again, both men change her life. The things she experienced in the past with Donovan and Weston was over before it even truly begun. Meeting Weston again, and spending that passionate and erotic weekend with him is what changes her life once more, because not only does it mean being back in HIS life, it also means being back in Donovan’s.It’s official. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is my favourite book of Laurelin Paige. It was sinful, and sensual, and just downright sexy, and that’s mostly to describe Donovan. He’s a man like no other; he craves control, of everything and everyone around him. Donovan was like a puppeteer, and everyone around him were his puppets. He could be possessive, protective, and aggressive, and a downright dirty man. And Sabrina… She’s definitely grown and changed from the weak and naïve girl I saw in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys. There were times where she was strong and stood her ground, but then there were times where she was weak, and the only thing she could do was let Donovan play his games and control her once more, not that she ever complained… Me neither. The things that man said and did left me breathless and had my heart racing many, many times, and left me wanting more. This is, undoubtedly, one of the sexiest reads that I have read this year.If you’ve read and loved The Fixed Trilogy and The First and Last Duet, then you’ll definitely love this book. Dirty Filthy Rich Men, in my eyes, is Laurelin’s sexiest book she’s ever written, and one of her best works to date. I loved it, and I cannot wait for September to come so I can read the rest of Donovan and Sabrina’s alluring and addictive story.
