Publisher's Summary

Both books in the Dirty Duet included in one bundle.

From New York Times best-selling author Laurelin Paige, discover a whole new world filled with sex, love, power, romance, and dirty, filthy rich men.

Book one, 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.

Book two, Dirty Filthy Rich Love 

I've discovered Donovan Kincaid's secret.

It's dirty and filthy and rich - as dirty and filthy and rich as he is - and it haunts me as much as he ever did.

Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there's an ocean between us, and I'm not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

Yet I'm willing to try.

He doesn't know this yet, but this time I'm the one with the power. And maybe - just maybe - if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.

And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

Omg, this Heroine is infuriating!

Overall, I liked the basic storyline, of this book. The Hero is an emotionally scarred man who uses cruelties to protect himself from emotional vulnerability; not an uncommon theme. The Heroine, who is supposed to be a intelligently gifted person, continues to allow the Hero to strike emotional blow after blow, to her, because of fascination of him. This quality is annoying enough, but to top it off, she can’t even analyze or interpret her own thoughts? This happens constantly, throughout the book and I found myself want to yank my hair out, in frustration! Being confused, at first, is reasonable but for the confusion to go on and on and on is ridiculous. I would think that a 27 year old, with above intelligence who is supposed to be extremely successful in the business world, would be able to analyze a situation and make a decision. Uggghh!


Despite this, this is a sexy story with elements of D/s sort of relationship. The Hero’s need for control and their enjoyment of ravage sex play(pretend rape) may be offensive and/or upsetting to some listeners.

Intoxicating and Seductive!

This is an intoxicating and seductive story that pulled me in to a world of power, control and delicious steamy hot sex, and I loved every minute of it. Sabrina crosses path's with Donovan, and Weston while attending Harvard. Sabrina is attracted to both men, but a tragic event causes her to leave suddenly, unable to return. She could never have guessed how her brief interactions would set in motion many of the furtive events over the next ten years. Now Sabrina is brought back to NY and into the the high stakes business world that Weston and Donovan inhabit. Sabrina is stronger, smarter and knows what she wants, but she also has a darker side she tries to hide. She has always wondered if she and Weston had a connection and now she has a chance to find out. She wasn't counting on Donovan being there as well. Donovan is sexy, dark, and tortured, and calls to her in a way no one, including Weston, ever has. They can't stay away from each other despite how hard they try, because their broken pieces fit so perfectly together. Donovan is the first man who allowed her to be comfortable with her sexual desires that have tortured her for years. He has always seen into her nightmares, and knows how to turn them around. Their sex scenes are raw and emotional and may not be for everyone, but it is a way to face their demons on the road to redemption. At first Donovan would reel her in, make her want him, only to put up his walls and turn cold time and time again. But now Sabrina finds that Donovan may need her just as much as she needs him, and finds out who might really be saving who. It is easy to be frustrated with Donovan at times. Yet Ms. Paige expertly reveals glimpses of what is under all the pain and guilt he carries. She has created such interesting and multifaceted characters in an intriguing tale of manipulation, deception, hunger, and passion. The twists and turns in this story kept me spellbound, trying to guess what will happen next. Oh and the epilogue was so perfect and so Donovan! Narrator, Elena Wolfe's brilliant delivery gripped my imagination and compelled me to feel everything these characters think and experience. She embodied these characters perfectly making my heart race from beginning to end. This is storytelling at it's absolute finest and I loved every moment of this beautiful, raw, passionate, poignant and unforgettable, love story! I'm looking forward to listening to more about this dirty, filthy, rich world

Loved Donovan

Great story put together. It’s disturbing but romantic at the same time. Very hot story with the characters. Honestly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read more of the other executives.

Interesting, but mindless

The characters do not speak to me, the narrators are good, but the dialogue doesn’t do the best job of advancing the story. The best dialogue was in the preview . . . It was sharp and timely.

Great!!!

I could not stop listening! Had to hear what was going to happen next! What a triangle. An emotional rollercoaster. Elena was wonderful! Would have like more Sebastian! A must listen!

Not my cup of scotch

Struggled to finish, the heroine was hard to root for. The level of self doubt was irritating. I love previous works by the author but this one was a miss for me.

Donovan

intriguing and enchanting audiobook. Donovan is romantic sexy jerk that makes you love him. lucky Sabrina.😍

EXTREMELY SEXY!!!

Donovan at times needed his face smacked by Sabrina. But then we discovered how his parents raised him, it explained so much! This book duet was sizzling hot and at times had me screaming at the characters to snap out of their stubbornness, and then I was crying at the tenderness that I never saw coming. I loved this duet!

Twisted and filthy

This is a raw, twisted and filthy love story. Donovan is controlling, sexy rich and filthy but he’s the brooding type and disconnected. Sabrina is independent, brilliant and hot but she’s drawn to Donovan’s filthy love. Their relationship is quite complicated. Can pure love be born from this filthy relationship?

YES! YES! YES!

Soooo good! I want my own Donovan! I just wish this book didn't end! So good!

SUPERB

I absolutely loved the whole of this audio duet. Talk about value for money!!! The story is absolute perfection, narration perfection and performance perfection too. This is one I shall listen to more than once. The characters are so well described and with the audio it makes them real. I love Elena Wolfe shes really good. I would have liked dual narration and popped in Jacob Morgan but we can all dream, Elena pulls it off because her male voice is ok. I don't give spoilers but I can only say this book takes you on a journey of deception, hot sex, twists and turns that laurelin should be proud of a rich story full of emotions and turmoil. If you want to get a story that won't disappoint then buy or use your monthly credit on this complete duet. well done girls😍😍

The best kind of dirty

This duet is fantastic it’s dirty and oh so very entertaining. The kind of book that you know you will want to listen to again well worth the credit

This book had me intrigued from the first chapter

When I saw how long the audiobook actually was, I had to take a second. Because I was afraid that it wouldn’t hold my attention tbh

Anyways first chapter and I was giggling because she reminded me of a mini Joe goldberg, so it was safe to say I was intrigued.

I really liked the characters. Donavan was really hot, like I might need some therapy session to figure out why but anyways.

Sabrina was really driven and passionate and I liked that about her. However I wouldn’t have minded if she had a little bit more backbone.

Personally I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it was dual pov.

(3.5⭐️ for the narrator & 3.5-4⭐️ for the story)

Dirty

The story itself I really liked.
But in the middle it was a bit too much back and forth between Donovan and Sabrina.

And for me Donovan was much more likeable than Sabrina.

All in all a very good story with gret narration!

Good story, MMC just didn't do it for me

If you like your alpha males extremely jealous and possessive, then Donovan Kincaid is your man. He is every type of growly "touch her and I will unalive you" over Sabrina. Although, it's clear that he loves her, I didn't understand WHY he loves her. You know, there's usually a reason, or a million. Whatever.

Sabrina, although seemingly at times Donovan's doormat, does have many moments of clarity and fortitude. She truly is an ambitious woman who has places to go and people to see.

I can understand other book besties and their love for Donovan, as he truly is an alpha-hole. However, he just didn't check my boxes. I won't yuck anyone's yum.

The audiobook was very good. Elena Wolfe did an amazing job narrating. She truly breathed life into the story and characters.

💥Always check the TW/CW💥

Anywho! Time to wrap this up with the goodies:

HEA

Complex and Passionate!

This boxed set includes the prequel Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, Dirty Filthy Rich Men, and Dirty Filthy Rich Love. Donovan and Sabrina's story is sizzling hot, intense, raw, emotional, and entertaining. The story is told from Sabrina's POV. Only the epilogues are from Donovan's. The characters are well developed. Donovan is enigmatic, alpha, dominant, and protective. Sabrina is beautiful, smart, and strong. Their push and pull relationship is complex, and passionate. The side characters are interesting. Elena Wolfe did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I loved the epilogue! I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it.

Wow

If you want angst, you'll get a ton of it here! If you want spice and red flags, you'll get that too. Oof, these two! I spent most of their story not knowing if I wanted them to be together or not, but when everything comes to light it was a fine deal for me! I don't want to give too much away so I'll leave it at that, but definitely give this one a try AFTER you check all the trigger warnings!

Elena Wolfe did a wonderful job bringing this one to life and I highly suggest giving the audiobook a try!

Irresponsible Exploration

I struggled with this book so much. I love LP's books but The Dirty Duet was not it.

I have no triggers - what I do have is the knowledge that you HAVE to be responsible when you write, discuss or even indulge in sexual exploration.

I strongly felt that this was not the case here.

These are real thoughts from SA survivors and to have your FMC being stalked, treated like complete trash, and obsessed over because the MMC has a r@pe fetish is not responsible. There was very LITTLE communication about the sexual exploration. There was SO much annoying inner dialogue.

I love him, I hate him. I am not going to do it again. and my favorite - I might as well, hes just going to take it anyway.

WHAT THE? Thats not how you handle things. And lets not forget to mention he leaves her, no word that he's leaving. NOTHING. All in the name of LOVE.

I treat you like crap and leave you because I love you. What the what?

The book was hot, it as steamy, it was also just annoying and irresponsible.

Amazing listen!

I've been a big fan of Laurelin Paiges for some time now and have read this book before, but this is my first time listening to the audiobook. I loved reading the book, but the audiobook brings it to life in the best way! This was an outstanding listen. It was well-written, and the narration was on point and hot as hell, all-consuming and addictive. I couldn't stop listening!

5 Stars!

Fantastic contemporary romance

Laurelin Page created a world I don’t want to leave, she dragged me in and I want more.
Donovan and Weston, hot alpha intriguing males, with hot sexy scenes that you will catch fire. Sabrina is the lucky girl, or perhaps not, as she needs to choose between them. The chemistry is off the charts; the seduction and their domineering ways will trap you. The sizzling hot conclusion to Donovan and Sabrina's story is included, we get two books in one audio, and what a fantastic roller-coaster ride this is. The story couldn't be more entertaining and steamy. I certainly recommend this duet to anyone who likes this type of stories. The fantastic narration by Elena Wolfe certainly was a very different experience than just reading it, I suggest you give this audiobook a go.
