Publisher's summary

This is what happened: I met him at the candy store. He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children's candy store, mind you, this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss' wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course. I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears. Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake. The problem with wanting is that it's like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else.

I don't apologize for who I am or what I've done in or out of bed. I have my job, my house, and my life, and for a long time I haven't wanted anything else. Until Dan. Until now.

Good Story and Very Hot!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this story because it was well written and kept you interested in the main characters and most importantly, because it lives up to it's genre. It was extremely erotic in a very real way.

What did you like best about this story?

I'm a sucker for happy endings and this story did not disappoint in that area.

What three words best describe Elenna Stauffer’s performance?

Average at best.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't have an extreme reaction but it did leave me with a good feeling and yes I both laughed and cried(a little).

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. It's a good story with some very sexy scenes. The narrators voice as Ella, the main character, was pretty good, but I did not like the narrator's male voices. The tone threw me off as well as how she said certain things. The tone just wasn't right sometimes. It comes across as bad acting.

OK storyline

Any additional comments?

The male voice for the main male character was awful, she made him sound like a dirty old man. I could hardly get over it. I liked the story, maybe this one would be better to read to self.

A Great Introduction to Megan Hart

This book might have been my first introduction into erotic romance. I've never paid much attention to genres. But if you pick up a Megan Hart book expecting some light romance and slightly heavier sex, you will be very surprised. Yes there is lots of sex. And lots of romance. But the romance is so convoluted and dysfunctional because the main character is convoluted and dysfunctional, at worst, or terribly wounded at best.

Elle stayed with me a long time. She appeared so strong but was in fact so vulnerable. She needed a person as easy going and accepting as Dan. Anyone with their own serious problems would be overwhelmed by hers.

The author does a good job of giving her characters interesting or irritating idiosyncrasies and uses them as a tool to further define the character. Knowing that Elle does not like to be kissed on the mouth tells us a great deal about Elle, without having to give a long winded explanation.

I've enjoyed reading other books by the author that include at least a passing reference to Elle and Dan. I cared and worried about them so it is nice to hear about them periodically.

I have not loved or even liked every Megan Hart book I have ever read. But I care a great deal about this one. I recommend it highly.

Not your typical erotica!

Would you try another book from Megan Hart and/or Elenna Stauffer?

yes

Have you listened to any of Elenna Stauffer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not. I thought she did an OK job. Her voice is a little too matter of fact all of the time though. A bit forceful. I understand that the character was rough around the edges, but I don't know that the voice had to be so dominate all the time.

Any additional comments?

I don't know it just felt a little cold to me. I'm not sure if it was the story or the performance. It just never really felt HOT or intense and the sex sceens were really quick. It was just OK

Loved it!

What did you love best about Dirty?

It was erotic, but also well written and a good story. A little more intense than many erotic books.

What other book might you compare Dirty to and why?

I can say it compares to 50 Shades, but it isn't quite in the same league. It was still good anyway.

Have you listened to any of Elenna Stauffer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She was ok. Sounded a little like the teacher on Glee.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction. I did listen to it fast because I wanted to find out what the secrets were.

Any additional comments?

Really liked the book and would recommend it.

Good Story - BAD NARRATION!!

This book seems to have some good love scenes, but it couldn't make it past the third chapter! The narrator reads so mechanically, without any emotion or tenderness or softness that it completely ruined the book for me. So disappointing!!!

Fantastic!!!

After reading several reviews on several different authors, I chose Dirty to be my first "erotic" audio book. I wasn't surprised or shocked by the graphic sex but I was thoroughly surprised on how beautifully written the story turned out to be. The characters are flawed, realistic and completely kept my interest from start to finish. After a while, the extremely steamy sex scenes became secondary, taking a back seat to wanting to understand the main characters reasons behind her intimacy issues. I will definitely be purchasing more material from this author. I highly recommend this book!
