Check out some of Laurelin's book boyfriends!

If Hudson is your ultimate book boyfriend, I bet you’ll also love…
Anyone who knows me knows I devour anything by Christine Reiss. She writes books that tickle my ID, men that embody my perfect book boyfriend. I wrote Hudson because he possessed qualities that I wanted to fantasize and fixate (pun intended) about. Adam from Marriage Games seems to be Hudson on an alternate timeline. A Hudson I couldn’t have imagined myself, but completely want to obsess over. Pick up this duet if you haven’t! It’s edgier than the Fixed series, but well worth it.

No one writes dirty talkers like Whit. Jake’s alpha indifference toward his heroine makes me shiver. A must read for Hudson lovers.

OMG BENNETT RYAN. Christina Lauren know how to balance a hot businessman with a strong woman like no other. Witty banter, comic situations, dirty, dirty sex – UNF. I’ve reread this so many times I’ve lost count.

I often call LJ Shen the Kindle Unlimited version of Laurelin Paige. That’s because I want to believe my guys are as manipulative and loveable as her hot-headed alphaholes. All of her heroes are men I wish I wrote. Definitely an author to check out if you haven’t.
Gideon from Crossfire by Sylvia Day Gideon is one of the original popular dominant alphas. One of the men who inspired Hudson and a staple for contemporary romance readers who love the billionaire genre. I’m sure it’s already on your bookshelf. I still felt I needed to mention him.

While Donovan’s story is somewhat edgier than Hudson’s, at the core, the two men are very similar – silent puppet masters who will do anything and everything for the women that they love. If you are a fan of the Fixed series and haven’t crossed over to the Dirty Universe yet, let me plug Dirty Filthy Rich Boys now. It’s free on all vendors!

If she’d needed a day or two in bed, upset and processing and obsessively looking through pictures of the event on social media, what would that have mattered? 

I trusted her to come back to me when she was through her anxiety. 

Maybe that was the key. Maybe she wasn't punishing me —but rather, was testing me. Seeing if I was capable of actually letting her go to work and not interfering. Not showing up, cold and demanding, when she lost track of time. 

Because in truth, I was the one who wasn't strong enough. 

For all that I blamed her for giving in to her overactive mind, I was the one who worried too much. Who was overprotective. Who couldn't handle the thought of her suffering, even only slightly. She was the one who alerted me to possibilities, her mind skittering from one thing to the next even as she stayed my rock. 

The truth was, without me, Alayna was still brilliant and clever and lovely and big-hearted and enough. 

But without her, I was nothing.

Blog Tour: Dirty Filthy Fix - Laurelin Paige

   

From New York Times bestselling author Laurelin Paige, comes a sexy novella in her Fixed Trilogy Series…DIRTY FILTHY FIX, a new novella brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy of this amazing novella today!

   

I like sex. Kinky sex. The kinkier the better.

Every day, it’s all I think about as I serve coffee and hand out business agendas to men who have no idea I’m not the prim, proper girl they think I am.

With a day job as the secretary to one of New York’s most powerful men, Hudson Pierce, I have to keep my double life quiet. As long as I do, it’s not a problem.

Enter: Nathan Sinclair. Tall, dark and handsome doesn’t come close to describing how hot he is. And that’s with his clothes on. But after a dirty, filthy rendezvous, I accept that if we ever see each other again, he’ll walk right by my desk on his way to see my boss without recognizing me.

Only, that’s not what happens. Not the first time I see him after the party. Or the next time. Or the time after that. And as much as I try to stop it, my two worlds are crashing into each other, putting my job and my reputation at risk.

And all I can think about is Nathan Sinclair.

All I can think about is getting just one more dirty, filthy fix.
 



      


Laurelin Paige is one of the premiere queens of steam.  Holy cow I need a freezing cold shower after reading Dirty Filthy Fix.  It's short and sweet but it packs a red-hot punch on every page.  Trish is a woman who knows what she wants and what she doesn't want.  She's bold, feisty, and in charge of her sexuality.  Every woman should feel as empowered by their sexuality as she is--whether they like it kinky or not.  Nate is determined, sexy, and a bit of a rebel.  I loved that it was a romance without being too soft.  It suited these characters.

If you are looking for some downright dirty deeds, definitely check this book out; even if you haven't read the series.  This can definitely be read as a standalone.

 


I wore satin that Saturday night, a long blue slip dress with slits up both sides. I never wore underwear to the parties. They were too much of an inconvenience, and the few times I had worn them, I’d just ended up giving them away as souvenirs. I liked nice lingerie. I preferred to keep most of it.
The shoes I wore—simple heels, easy to slip off—were also standard for an evening at the Open Door. But somehow I felt simultaneously more dressed up and more naked than I had in a long time. I left my hair down, and it fell long past my shoulders in dark, nearly black waves. It felt less like I was going to a weekly party and more like I was going on a date. A glamorous date.
It was a signal that I should not go.
But I went. Nothing could have kept me away.
I spent the beginning of the night as a voyeur, camped out on the settee watching as the Doms paraded their submissives around the room, entertaining everyone with their tricks and commands.
I had a few invitations to play from the regulars—Andrew, who’d shown up with a girl I’d never met before. Of course, Chuck Richard was there, wanting to fondle and stroke my skin. But I shooed them all away, feigning an introverted mood, when really I was just looking and waiting for one person in particular.
An hour went by. Then an hour and a half. After two hours, I kicked myself internally a bunch of times before realizing that I was in a place where people would gladly do that for me. So when Andrew suggested a game, an adult version of Spin-the-Bottle, I decided to join in.
An oddly shaped circle was created, some people choosing to sit on the floor, some on the furniture. I curled up with my knees to one side on the floor, and when I finished straightening my gown around me, I looked up to find that the man sitting on the ottoman across from me was Nathan.
And suddenly the room felt so much brighter than it had a few minutes before. Like there’d been too many plugs shoved into one outlet and finally someone had tugged one free, the power had surged, and the lights glowed.
Everyone disappeared around me and the only face I could see was his, handsome and rugged, his grin directed at me. His eyes lit up like they were the source of the glow, and they were the only things I could see.
Somehow I was sure I’d just broken one of my rules. I didn’t know which one, and I didn’t even care.

Excerpt:

I’m at the steakhouse fifteen minutes early, which is on time in Chase Kelly’s book. I’ve never been late for work or a date a single time in my life; in fact, I’ve always been early, which is a point of pride for me. And Livia walks in at seven on the dot, something that endears me to her immensely, although the moment I register that I, Officer Kelly, am charmed, my mind goes blank.
Just blank.
There is nothing but her.
She walks in on heels that make her legs a mile long, her long hair down in a tumult of soft waves. The maître d' helps her take off her checkered wool coat, and then I.
Am.
Speechless.
 My heart hammers up in my throat as the blood pools deep in my groin. She’s wearing a bright red dress—so fucking short that I’d be able to finger her easily if we were in a booth, which we tragically aren’t. The red sets off the warm undertones of her bronze skin, highlights the deep brown of her eyes. The lines of it hug the delectable curves of her tits, which are just small enough that she can get away without wearing a bra.
My cock thickens as she begins walking toward me, and I can verify that she is definitely not wearing a bra. Oh God, what if she’s not wearing panties either?
I bite back a groan and push back my chair to greet her as she comes to our table, tugging the hem of my sweater down in one smooth move as I unfold myself to help disguise the effect her presence has on me.
As I step forward to greet her, I notice the color high in her cheeks and the way her teeth dig into the soft coral of her bottom lip.
She looks nervous.
That gives me pause. I don’t mind a woman meeting me cold or shy or overly eager, I don’t even mind a case of the first date jitters—since first dates are pretty much all I go on, I see a lot of those.
But nervous—truly nervous—that bothers me a little.
Do I make her feel unsafe? Is it my size? My job?
In a split second, I change gears. I can be patient when it comes to the Kelly Trio, and I find that the idea of wooing my nervous little librarian on date after date doesn’t sound tiresome at all...it sounds delightful, actually. A challenge. A test to see if I’m worthy enough to remove all traces of trepidation from her face and fill her expression with eagerness and surrender instead.
And get more time with this fierce, sweet bookworm all to myself.
I lean in to kiss her cheek, careful to angle our bodies so that I don’t press against her with six feet, two hundred pounds of hungry cop. Instead, I anchor her with a firm hand at her elbow, pleased to feel the goose bumps that spread underneath my touch. And then I brush my lips against her cheek, making sure she can feel them, making sure she gets just the tiniest brush of my scruff as I accidentally-on-purpose slide my jaw against hers as I pull away.
She shivers.
I look down into her eyes as I straighten up, and I’m suddenly aware that I’m supporting a lot of weight in my hand, as if her knees are weak from my kiss.
Well done, Officer Good Times!
Her eyes are wide, the pupils so blown and her irises so dark that her eyes are just huge liquid wells of want, and I feel a familiar tug in my groin knowing that I put that look there.
“I forget how big you are,” she murmurs, her head tilted up to look into my face.
I give her my biggest grin and open my mouth, but she cuts me off before I can say it, shaking her head. “I know, I know. I walked right into that one.”
But the ghost of a smile flits across her lips as I help her into her seat and push in her chair.
When I sit across from her and we start looking at our menus, I notice the smile has vanished and the nervous look is back, along with a determined set to her shoulders. The combination of uneasiness and backbone intrigues and worries me at the same time.
“I don’t know what Megan told you,” I say, “but I don’t bite.”
She looks up from the menu, her teeth back to digging into the plump flesh of her bottom lip.
“Well,” I amend, staring at her mouth, “sometimes I do bite. But only when I really, really want to.”

Dirty Filthy Rich Men 
by Laurelin Paige 
Genre: Contemporary Romance

From NYT Bestselling author Laurelin Paige, discover a whole new world filled with sex, love, power, romance and dirty, filthy rich men.
When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn’t know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me.
I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted—I knew who I wanted—until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.
And then what it was like to lose it.
Ten years later, I’ve found my way back. Back to their world. Back to him.
This time, I’m ready. I've been down this road before, and I know all the dirty, filthy ways Donovan will try and wreck me.
But it’s hard to resist. Especially when I know how much I’ll like it.

Review


I knew when I read the novella, Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, that this book had the potential to wreck me.  And wreck me it did.  Laurelin Paige takes us one hell of a roller coaster ride with this one.  It’s so different from what I’ve read from her in the past but it still packs the wallop of emotion and drama inherent in her stories.  From start to finish, I couldn’t put this book down.  I was completely immersed and captivated.  It is an adrenaline rush, heart pounding, and addictive story.  And I loved it.

It picks up ten years after the happenings of DFRB.  Sabrina is not quite as naïve.  She’s resilient, haunted, reflective and conflicted.  When her path crosses the men from her past, her life takes a dramatic turn.  Weston King is still the golden boy—easy-going, reckless, and flirtatious.  And Donovan Kincaid is still the dark god—intense, ruthless, and commanding.  The two men pull at Sabrina’s attention, each demanding it in their own way.  But her desires cannot be denied and there’s just one man that feeds her fantasies more than the other.  The chemistry between Donovan and Sabrina is scorching.  The character development in this book is superb.  All of the main characters have beautifully crafted backstories that explain their strengths and weaknesses.  The secondary characters add an additional depth and layer to the story.  I loved the cameos from her other series.

This book is full of feels.  I ran the emotional gamut with this one.  There were points where I was in tears and others were I just wanted to scream in frustration.  A few times I even wanted to throw my Kindle, but that would mean taking my eyes off the pages.  There is definitely drama in this book but its good drama.  You know the kind that leaves you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails because you just can’t wait to see what happens next, your heart racing?  I do think though that there should be a trigger warning though, one of Sabrina’s fantasies may be triggering or disturbing for some.  But that really is my only complaint with the book.  I absolutely loved it.  It’s dirty, it’s filthy and it was absolutely amazing.

Everyone should read this book.  -Peace and Love, Buxom J


Excerpt

After she was gone, I walked over to the windows and drank in the scene. The Town Center was high enough that it had an unblocked view of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond.

Giddiness surged through me, starting like a pinprick at my center and moving out through my veins in all directions until even my fingers and toes felt warm.

I was really here.

I made it.

It wasn’t the way I thought it would be, but in the end, it still came out of my time at Harvard. I’d always known that connections made the difference in a career, and here I was. Finally. At the top of the world, looking out.

I couldn’t stop grinning.

“It’s incredible, isn’t it?” a male voice came from behind me.

Still smiling, I glanced up and caught his reflection in the window.

And everything disappeared.

The world that had buzzed below, the beautiful scene, the excitement that had unfurled through my body—all of it evaporated and all that existed in its place was a pale, hollow shell of myself and the man in the perfectly tailored suit behind me.

I turned to look at him directly. Our gazes smashed together, and my legs nearly fell out from under me.

“Donovan,” I rasped. It was a miracle that I managed to find enough voice to say that much.

And there was so much more that had to be said. So much more that I hadn’t prepared for. Which was ridiculous since I’d talked to him so many times in my head over the years, practiced so many conversations, but never did he show up out of the blue looking so dastardly handsome in a dark gray three-piece suit, his face rugged with scruff, his eyes hazel and earnest despite the playful smirk on his lips.

I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I wasn’t even sure how to breathe anymore.

He broke our gaze to nod out the window at the skyline, walking toward me as he said, “I’m sure you found the Empire.”

Though his focus was now on the scenery, I didn’t take my eyes off him as he approached. He didn’t stop until he was right beside me. So close our shoulders would touch if I coughed. Tension ran off him like foam spilling over from a mug of beer. Good tension. Bad tension. I wasn’t sure if there was a difference when it came to Donovan.

Which was why I was screwed if he was here.

Why the hell was he here?

“I thought you were in Tokyo.” I couldn’t stop staring at him. He’d gotten more refined with age, and rougher at the same time. His hair was short and his curls gone, giving him a polished look he lacked before. The lines by his eyes were more defined and his expression seemed harder than I’d remembered. It made him sexier.

As if he was a man who needed to be sexier than the one I knew.

“I came back two months ago,” he said offhandedly. “That’s it right there.” He leaned his face in close to mine as he pointed to the famous structure. “Do you see it?”

Fuck if I cared about the Empire. I was in Donovan Kincaid’s orbit. What else was there in the world?
