Review: Dirty: The Complete Series by Ella Miles

Review of Dirty: The Complete Series by Ella Miles



The entire Dirty series all in one collection - can't go wrong with that! It's dark and twisted, filled with action, suspense, intrigue and lots and lots of sex.

Dirty Beginning: 4 stars

Dirty Beginning is a prequel to Dirty Obsession and I can't wait to read it! It details the beginning of Nina and Arlo's twisted story. Nina is a silly, stupid little rich girl who's studying in Italy for a month. She apparently has a history of becoming obsessed with men, which has lead to her being in therapy for years now. But, when she sees Arlo, who oozes sex and power, she can't help herself, and starts fantasizing about getting his attention and worming her way into his bed.

This all sounds good, but the way she goes about capturing his attention is a bit pathetic, (she's pathetic), and she allows herself to be treated like crap by Arlo, even as she revels in his attention. And then came the crazy ending, which of course, is leading to their full story. Now I'm dying to find out just how Arlo and Nina will go about getting themselves out of the insane situation she's forced them into.

Ella Miles is on the top of her game with this little peek into Arlo and Nina's world, so excited for more!

Dirty Obsession: 4 stars

Nina was a pathetic little girl playing with fire in the prequel, Dirty Beginning. Here in Dirty Obsession, she's still crazy, but she's grown up a little. She still has obsessive tendencies, but she's curbed them a tad. But then she's brought back into Arlo's twisted world and all bets are off. Will she survive what he and his family have in store for her? Does he actually have feelings for her or is she the only one who was obsessed?

I can't say that I ever liked Nina or Arlo, or anyone else in this story except Heath and Eden, but I will say that their story is entertaining and twistedly absurd. It's not as dark as a lot of stuff I've read, but it's not all flowers and sunshine, either. So beware, this is not really Ella Miles' usual kind of story. It's really twisted and there's lots of stuff happening in the grey and black areas of life. The ending is cliffy-ish, so I'm going to assume another installment is coming. I hope so!

Dirty Addiction: 5 stars

Dirty Addiction is part of the continuing saga of the Dirty series. This time it's all about Arlo's brother, Matteo, and Nina's friend, Eden. It's not quite as dark as Arlo and Nina's story, but it's still quite twisted and intense with lots of moments of darkness and grit.

Matteo is not the same man he was in Dirty Obsession, he's worse. He still wants Nina, is obsessed with her, even though she chose Arlo over him. So, to that end, he takes Eden and plans to break her, with the sole intent of luring Nina back to him. But, he's got another think coming because Eden is no wilting wallflower. She's not about to let Matteo break her, even if she is starting to get addicted to his dirty darkness. I loved Eden. She's what all heroines should be, and isn't a wackadoodle like Nina was (is). She's tough, she's strong, and she takes down criminals for a living.

I love how Ella wrapped things up for Matteo and Eden, and even Arlo and Nina, and am really looking forward to the next installment, which is Gia's story (Arlo and Matteo's sister).

Dirty Revenge: 5 stars

When Gia Carini (Arlo and Matteo Carini's little sister from Dirty Obsession and Dirty Addiction) decides she wants some freedom from being the princess of the Carini clan locked away in the tower of their protection, she gets her wish; unfortunately for her, the man who gives her a little liberation also decides to sell her into slavery to a man just as bad as the men in her own family.



But...is there a little bit of light in Gia's captivity in the form of her captor's security specialist? Caspian Conti is a man who wants revenge. Gia Carini will get in the way of his quest if he lets her. So he doesn't let her, at first. But when he can no longer stand to see what Dante is doing to her, he saves her, only to take her captive for himself. By this time, Gia's formed her own plan for vengeance, and she's going to use Conti to help her get that revenge. Neither expected to develop feelings for each other. Or do they? Caspian says he isn't capable of love anymore, but Gia thinks differently, knows differently.

Dirty Revenge is my favorite of this series. Caspian and Gia are twisted af characters for sure, but in each other they find a kindred soul. Revenge may be the driving factor in their relationship at first, but I could see the feelings creeping in, even if Caspian couldn't (wouldn't). If you like your love stories on the twisted side, with dark deeds and evil all around, I highly recommend you 1-click Dirty Revenge today. It's not for the faint of heart, it's not pretty, but it's supremely satisfying, and Gia and Caspian are an intense, seriously passionate couple.

Dirty Epilogue: 4 stars

The epilogue starts off with a bang! Read on as the whole Carini clan and their loved ones put their past behind them and look forward to the futures they've worked so hard for.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
