Dirty Money: Roughneck Billionaires 1

Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads. I've been excited about this book since I first saw the cover review for it a few months ago. I've never been big on "billionaire" books — with the exception of Jessica's because they're different than the norm — because I tend to go more towards men who get their hands dirty at their jobs. (Well, and athletes. But they work up a sweat so that's the same thing, right? Anyway.) A "blue collar" billionaire? Sign me up for that. Boone had a huge chip on his shoulder. He was tired of being disrespected by people based on his looks alone. Especially when he could pretty much buy any of them many times over. He was crude as hell. He had a filthy mouth (in and out of the bedroom). And I really liked him. There's something about a man who is hard and rough on the outside, but sweet (in his own way) for the right woman. (And her alone.) He wasn't a man of flowery words, but he didn't need to be. His heart was in the right place. I liked Ivy, too. I applauded her determination to make her own way and do the best she could for her and her little sister. I understood her desire to hide her old life and make a fresh start. Granted, I wanted to shake some sense into her at times, but it didn't make me like her any less. Of course there was some pretty obvious irony in that Boone was looking for a "classy" "well-bred" woman and instead found himself hopelessly attracted to Ivy, whose background wasn't all that different from his. And naturally there was bound to be a little bit of drama when he learned she was keeping that from him. Either way, I loved the chemistry between them. They were so very well matched. Dirty Money was a short, hot and sexy read. I read this one in one sitting. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what's next in the Roughneck Billionaires series! I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. FAVORITE QUOTES "Boone, there are many words I'd choose to describe you, but I don't think 'gentleman' is ever one of them." "You're fucking beautiful, Ivy. And you're all mine. You know that, right? That once I claim you, you're mine forever?"

Surprisingly wasn't the biggest fan of this since I love Jessica Clare's billionaire books. I just didn't like the main characters and couldn't connect well with any part of the story. Full review to come. Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.
