The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy

Dirty Pleasures

Martha McLendon

Meghan's ability to pull you in and not let you go has gotten the best of me. So here take my heart with that ending, fog up my glasses because this woman can write a sex scene, Holly and Creighton are explosive in and out of the bedroom, and give me Dirty Together like yesterday.

We pick up where Dirty Billionaire left off, and we get a closer look at Holly's career oriented, spitfire attitude and what she has had to endure with the record company to make her career a success. I love her for the strong willed attitude when it comes to Crey (I can call him that now, we are close). 

Then we have Crey "The women is a workhorse-and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. A trophy wife, she is not." I love that he now see her for the strong woman that she is and how important her career is to her. I love the way he starts to discover his feeling for his wife but don't get me wrong we still get the dominate, dirty mouth Mr. Karas we all know and love.

I can't wait to see Mr. Karas fight because we all know he should have been a warlord and he's about to prove to us why. 
I'm ready for the Dirty Together!!

I enjoyed this one much better than the first one. The pacing was good and the writing was even better. I think this book gave more depth to the characters than the first book did. It does get a little more graphic with the sex scenes but was a great smutty read. Meghan March does not disappoint at all with these books.

Your MC Is Holly and we pick up where we left off last time when she left. She is trying to make it known to him that her career is important, that she will not give it up for him. She thinks he doesn’t care about her at all like she is just his plaything and she’s along for the ride until he is sick of her.

The last book I was a bit annoyed with him being very controlling and all around A-class Douchebag. This second book started to show a bit of his softer side, he was really starting to care about Holly and she about him. I found myself screaming at the end of the book because they both have troubled past and a hard time trusting other people. I wished they would just open up to each other and tell them how they actually feel about one another.

Overall, I enjoyed this second book way more than the first. The writing and major character growth was amazing. It is still a smutty read and had its problems, but if you get into these types of reads I highly recommend checking out this series.

Eagerly Awaiting Book 3 I received an ARC courtesy of Rock Star PR in exchange for an honest review. No monetary compensation was provided.  The opinions expressed here are 100% my own.
 
Dirty Pleasures by Meghan March is the second book in the Dirty Billionaire Trilogy. It picked up where book one left off. When compared with book one I would have to say that this installment was better.  I guess it has to do with the fact that we are provided with more insight into Holly's and Creighton's relationship.
 
In this installment, we are introduced to Creighton's sensitive side. He demonstrated that he wanted the marriage to work. He is not afraid to admit when he was wrong.  We see this when he followed Holly on her tour.  He got to see her in her element. He goes out of his way to protect her interests. There is no doubt that he genuinely cares for her. It would appear that what started out as a marriage of convenience was developing into something of substance.
 
Holly career means the world to her. She is not afraid to let Creighton know that she would not allow to control that area of her life.    However, beneath this tough exterior lay a wounded soul. She is struggling with guilt as she blamed herself for her grandmother's death. In addition to guilt, she is also struggling with insecurities.  These insecurities made it easy for doubts about Creighton's feelings for her to take root.  Then to add injury to insult, someone from his past came and added fuel to those doubts, causing them to spiral out of control.
 
This ended in a cliff hanger. Arggh!  Now I am going to have to wait, albeit, impatiently for the next installment.

I enjoyed Dirty Pleasures a lot more than the first installment in the Dirty Billionaire Trilogy! While I liked Dirty Billionaire, it was missing the relationship development between Holly and Creighton that becomes much more apparent in Dirty Pleasures. In this book, it’s clear that Creighton is fighting for their marriage to work, and I was rooting for him every step of the way. If you were a fan of the first book, you’ll want to get your hands on this sequel.

“You’re not an afterthought. Jesus Christ, Holly. When you look at me like that, you’re my only fucking thought.”

Dirty Pleasures picks up right after that cliffhanger in Dirty Billionaire, and Creighton is chasing after his country singer wife who left him. Creighton is quickly realizing that the woman he had a one night stand with and married is becoming the most important thing in his life. As for Holly though… Holly’s number one priority right now is her singing career, and she won’t allow anyone, even her husband, to jeopardize it.

I liked Creighton so much more in Dirty Pleasures, because he’s actually become a likable guy. In the first book, he was too alpha and controlling and almost unreasonable, but in the second book, he grows to see that marriage is a compromise. He wants his marriage with Holly to work, and it’s clear that he’s putting his time and effort into doing so.

Holly grew to frustrate me. I liked that she puts her career ahead of everything and won’t bow down to Creighton, but I wanted to see her realize how much effort Creighton is putting into their marriage. Holly reasonably has doubts about the two of them lasting, and she becomes even more scared when she realizes she’s falling for her husband.

This book is just as hot and dirty as the previous book was, but it ends in a cliffhanger in the exact same way. I have high hopes for the final installment, and I’m hoping we’ll get to know more about Creighton’s past. I’m excited to see how Holly and Creighton’s story will end!

Thanks to the author for generously providing me an ARC to review.
