Publisher's summary

Love—on the rocks….

The last thing Vaughan Hewson expects to find when he returns to his childhood home is a broken hearted bride in his shower, let alone the drama and chaos that come with her.

Lydia Green doesn't know whether to scream or cry in a corner. Discovering the love of your life is having an affair on your wedding day is bad enough. Finding out it's with his best man is another thing all together.

Just when this runaway bride has nowhere left to turn, a handsome stranger offers her a broad, muscular shoulder to cry on. Vaughan is the exact opposite of the picture perfect, respected businessmen she's normally drawn to. This former musician-turned-bartender is rough around the edges and is facing his own crossroads. But Lydia's already tried Mr. Right and discovered he's all wrong--maybe it's time to give Mr. Right Now a chance.

After all, what's wrong with getting dirty?

Dirty is the first audiobook in the Dive Bar series from bestselling author Kylie Scott.

"Narrator Andi Arndt highlights Lydia's deadpan humor, traversing her changing feelings with elegant proficiency. Vaughan and Lydia's conversations and sexual encounters feature distinct voices that match their genders and personalities. Lydia's voicing is lower, with pure, sweet undertones, while Vaughan's maintains a rough edge. Arndt conveys Vaughan's uncertainty about his shaky music career and his awkward attempts to chart a new course. Her perfect sense of timing, with each thought delivered at the right speed with the right inflection, transforms a predictable story with inane dialogue into an enticing listen. While listeners may question this unlikely rebound romance, they won't doubt Arndt's talent."—AudioFile

Not bad

I really liked this book (so much I will listen again) but I was expecting a bit more from the ending. I loved Kylie's previous series and I kind of expected a bit more closure. Yes the main characters end up together but too many questions remain unanswered (unlike her other series which closed each character's story giving us a HEA). I know it's a series and I can't wait to read/listen to the rest but give me a better ending.

Funny and romantic!

I enjoyed this audiobook of a first book in a new series very much. The author created a great story with original characters. The hero is s carryover from the Stage Dive series and I lived those books, do it was nice to see Vaughn get his own story. Great narration and I highly recommend this audiobook.

Good beginning for Dive Bar Series.

Love rocker stories which Kylie Scott can write winners. So much fun to visit Stage Dive Mal Erickson hilarious character again.

Vaughn is introduced in the last Stage Dive book #4 Deep. He was a sexy rocker who had a good heart which for me immediately caught my interest in his Dive Bar #1 Dirty return home after 10 years on the road. Now he must find a place there again since his band broke up.

Witty,fun rocker cool characters just roll out of Kylie Scott which are always entertaining. Looking forward to next #2 book Twist coming in April 2017.

Unexpected And silly romantic

Very light and sweet novel but just a bit unreal. After all, how can a bride lose the chance of a happy marriage, finding her fiancé is gay minutes before the wedding, and be over it so soon?
Von is pissed at the beginning but so fast fall for Lydia...
She is so broken but less than 24hs is in lust with this man...
Oh life...but their banter and sweet moments turns it in a very like able reading.
Worth the time and money but, do not wait for anything so dirty.

Great read!

Such a well-written story. It was funny, engaging, and definitely a hot read. I'm looking forward to reading more by this author and with this narrator.

I love Kylie Scott!

Yet another funny and loving book with steamy scenes and a strong real woman. Not to mention a guy any girl would dream of!

Laugh, cry and laugh again

This is a really good story - laugh out loud funny. Lydia is a blast. Vaughn is a good - bad boy. The whole story was great, with good, developed secondary characters too. Worth a second listen .

Loved the characters

I loved this book.

Kylie Scott does it again in a new spin off series.
I love Vaughn's character. He's hot, tattooed and can be sweet even when he's not being a sarcastic ass. Not your typical rocker guy, though that's what he tries to act like he is.

I love the way the story starts, its comical and yet I can picture it all in my head clear as day. I can actually see the woman doing these things to escape and ended up this mess in a strange mans bathtub for him to find. I really enjoyed the story and how it all played out, the characters were all great and I can see a lot of future books with them all in mind.

I can't wait for more from the Dive Bar.

Nice break from everyday

The ups and downs seem real and everyday life. But the lust and passion are very intense and binge worth type reading. Loved the characters.

Loved it!

I can't wait for the next book to be released. I enjoyed this book a lot.
