It is very obvious what the "next big fight" will be about, so I just wanted to know right away how the characters would handle it (crossing my fingers that no one will be running away yet again!).Editor: Pam Berehulke, Bulletproof Editing Tip? When you read this, make sure you also have the third book, DIRTY TOGETHER, because you'll want to just get on with what happens next. If I was sympathetic the first time it happened, this time I'm just, "oh gosh, not again…". SPOILER ALERT: Holly, yet again, leaves Creighton. Yes, I loved grovelling Creighton, but again I missed his intensity in book 1. I still like this second installment, but not as much as the first. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something was just different. He's still like that in DIRTY PLEASURES, but. He says such provocative things that had me blushing and looking over my shoulder. However, since he is mostly on this mission throughout the book, his intensity was toned down by several notches. He had to make major adjustments, from his lifestyle to the way he conducts business.
It's heart-melting, isn't it, when the heroes go out of their way to prove themselves to the heroine? Especially after a major screw-up? I was truly impressed with the lengths he had taken to make it up to Holly. There is one awesome thing here though: Creighton truly wants to make things work. It's no wonder they are having trouble now. They did things backwards if you recall in book 1: hookup first, a very public proposal driven by lust, and then a wedding very soon after. Hurt and determined to succeed, she takes off on her own.Īs the second book of this series, this was all about the growth of Creighton and Holly's relationship. Unfortunately, he forgot about Holly and that she had to make it to her scheduled tour-or else, her record label will drop her like a hot potato. Creighton did not promise her love, but he did give his word that he will consider her career top priority, just as he does his own. Normally I'd roll my eyes at dramatics over a single mistake, but in this instance I empathize with her. Holly has just left her dirty-talking, billionaire husband, Creighton Karas. DIRTY PLEASURES immediately follows the final events of DIRTY BILLIONAIRE (read my review here!).
