A smokin’ hot British player
A jilted girl
One night of mistaken identity


Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girl in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.

She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party.

She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago
the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London.

But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house


One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

*A modern love story inspired by Romeo and Juliet*

**no one dies in the writing of this novel**






I would love to say: We all remember Dax from DIRTY ENGLISH. BUT, I don't. I suffer from a horrible case of Booksalzheimers. But I don't think it's all that important that we remember what happend in Declan's story. I just know that Dax is his twin. And I only know that because they told me in the beginning of this book ☺ You might want to do a re-read of Declan & Elizabeth's story!

Remi has just been dumped by her all-american-pretty-boy fiancé two weeks before the wedding.
And to not lose the money for the honeymoon, she took her bestie and went to London.

Dax spent his summer in London to watch over his rock-star cousin, but he has to go back to Raleigh soon - back to university.
One last night of getting drunk at a club. A masked party.
That's why he doesn't immediately realize that this hot chick he's flirting with is Remi.
The girl he spent some amazing hours with three years ago. The one girl he never forgot.

Same with Remi. Dax is the first boy she ever loved. But now she doesn't want anything to do with him. Even though the out-of-this-world attraction is still there - for both of them.

And having the first-love-of-your-life-hottie save your life in the back-alley of a club....might just turn those old feelings of lust and love back on again....


WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH REMI & DAX???
WILL THEY BE ABLE TO STAY 'JUST FRIENDS'?
WILL THERE BE A HEA??
A CLIFFY???



I'm not telling you that of course ☺

I really enjoyed this book.
As I mentioned before, I had no idea what Dax did in the first book, but it's not important for reading and enjoying this second book!

You immediately fall in love with Dax & Remi.
Both are a bit lost in their lives and you just know that they would be so perfect for each other.
The air practically sizzles whenever they're in a room together. I just adored them together.
But they want to stay 'just friends' - but as we all know....99.9% of the time, friendship between a guy and a girl does not work. Especially not with their history and this insane spark-flying.



FILTHY ENGLISH has everything a great romance needs.
Great locations (London), lots of sexy and funny and adorable and suspensy and moving scenes!
Also - this whole english-accent-thing is a huge turn-on for most people - I just wish we would be able to see these two books on TV!!!! #AccentSwooning

And even though I can't remember what all happened in the first book, I was happy to see Declan and his girl again!


FILHY ENGLISH was such an adorable & sexy second-chance romance about two lost souls fighting to find their Happily Ever After with the one that got away!




ARC received for an honest review

Oh what a joy it is to wake up and find Filthy English on my kindle!

I kinda sorta remembered Dax from Dirty English - I remembered he was the twin of Declan but that was about all.  That has nothing to do with the writing or the book, just that I have terrible bookzheimer's and when you read as much as I do, I forget more than I remember!

Right from the get go I was in lust with Dax.  I swear, what was not to love about him??

And Remi, smarting from being dumped just before her wedding, she was licking her wounds when she falls for Dax... literally falls for him.

I just loved them together, even when they are trying to stick to this "just friends" business.  The reader just knows that this is never going to be a real option for them, for the sparks that fly between them light up whenever they are in the same postcode!

There is history between them, and as the story unfolds me heart hurt for them both.  It gives us great insight as to why they are both maybe not broken but definitely fractured.

I laughed, I cried, I yelled at my kindle.  I wanted, no I NEEDED them to get their HEA.  Through the great times and the bad, I just knew they would make it.

Filthy English is a sweet, sexy second chance romance, with fate throwing her hand in to help things along.

Now I am really, realllllly hoping we get a book about their cousin!

Excerpt

Without much thought except for comfort, instinctively I pressed myself against him, fitting into his arms as easy as breathing. He leaned against the brick wall of the neighboring building and wrapped me up, sensing my need to be grounded. I don’t know how long we stood like that—maybe a minute, maybe five—but soon our breaths were in sync; the rise and fall of his chest in perfect accord with mine. One of his hands traced down my spine and then up. He outlined my shoulder blades with his fingertips. His hands drifted to my hips then caressed back up to my hair, massaging my scalp. But what had started as an innocent hug changed. Fire licked my skin everywhere he touched. Of their own accord, my hands slid down to his waist and teased the line where his jeans rested on his hips. I went further, my fingers toying with the V at his hip until I felt him harden against me. Lips brushed the top of my hair. “Remi . . . look at me,” he said, his voice raspy.

If you look up, you’re going to kiss him . . . I tilted my head up and his mouth fused with mine in an instant. Insistent. Wild. Hot. Yes! This is what I needed. I groaned, and my hands rushed to his shoulders and dug in. He was wrong—terribly wrong—for me, but it felt so right. I felt wonderfully alive, revved up, as if I could crush a car with my bare hands, or push Dax against the wall and fuck him senseless. I recognized the feeling for what it was—an I almost­died­and­now­I­want­to­experience­life feeling. “Wait,” he breathed as I ran my hand under his shirt. “It’s adrenaline. You’ve been through a trauma. You don’t really want this—”

“Shhh.” I lifted his shirt and kissed his chest, my tongue flicking over his nipple. “You taste like every good thing I’ve ever wanted.” His taut restraint snapped, and he swayed into me.
“God, I can’t tell you no.” Book Trailer
