About this eBook

“An explosively sexy start to the Motor City Royals series” from the author of the Billion $ Bastards Trilogy (Heroes & Heartbreakers).
 
Born into a family whose wealth grew from the seedy world of big-time crime, Ezekiel “Zee” Chase ran away as a teenager and made a home for himself on the streets of Detroit. By day, the mechanic works at a local garage. But by night, he throws down with the best of them in Detroit’s gritty underground fighting scene. With all those muscles, he’s never had trouble with women—until he meets one who challenges him to the greatest fight of his life . . .

Tamara Eliot is a hardworking corporate high-flyer who appreciates the finer things in life. More than anything, though, she likes to be in control—and when Zee explodes into her life, she feels anything but. He’s the definition of a bad boy: brash, fiery, and of course, irresistibly hot. And there’s a darkness about him that keeps her coming back for more. As Zee takes Tamara deeper into a world she never knew existed, she just might prove to be the one opponent he won’t be able to dominate—at least not without some pleasurable convincing . . . 
 
“If you like bad boy heroes and opposites attract stories with a healthy dose of super steamy scenes and a compelling and action-packed plot, Dirty for Me is for you.”—All About Romance
 
“An intense scorcher of a story that is sure to delight fans and win her a legion of new devotees . . . Unforgettable.”—RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

Dirty for Me was a sexy ride that kept me turning the pages as fast as I could read. Both the main characters in this book have their flaws but the chemistry between them in undeniable. What starts out as a one time, mutual need to scratch an itch turns into a complex and soul shattering relationship that leaves these two questioning their future and directions. Tamara is your basic rich girl. She works for her parents company, is expected to dress and behave a certain way, to always put on a polished look, never argue with her parents and basically date and marry exactly who they tell her too. All of her life Tamara has been following these rules, after all, it is the least she can do for her parents and what she put them through when she was younger. They even introduced her to her long distance boyfriend, paving the path they expect her to take in the future. Zee fled his life 10 years ago after his father had his girl friend killed. After changing his name and with the help of Gideon, a man he met at the shelter, he has started making something of himself. He has his own gym and teaches self defense classes at night and in his spare time participates in underground fighting to help fund his dreams. When he first sees Tamara walk into his gym with her friend he immediately recognizes her type, rich and privileged. While he finds her beautiful he refuses to allow another girl like her to pay and tries his best to steer clear of her but when he friend abandons her to go clubbing with some of the other girls in his class he finds himself offering her a ride home. A ride that will change both of their futures. The chemistry was thick and immediate with these two and holy cow they steamed up my Kindle in parts. I look forward to reading the other books in the series as well. I received an eARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Another great read from this author. With characters that are raw, real, and flawed I was immediately pulled into this good girl meets bad boy story. Seriously steamy and intense, the story of two people from vastly different worlds coming together is fantastic. Tamara Eliot works hard every day to gain her parents approval, respect, and forgiveness. It seems though that no matter what she does it isn't quite enough. Zee Chase left home as a teenager. Not willing to be part of the crime world his father lives in, he was lucky enough to find people he willingly calls family. When Tamara and Zee first meet they each judge the other as lacking but there is just something there, a spark which quickly becomes a flame. What is meant to be one intense passionate encounter soon turns into more but he will never be welcome in her world and she's not safe in his. I highly recommend this one.

From the epically drool-worthy pic on the cover to the very last sentence Ashenden had me completely captivated. From hard core fights to dark and dangerous men, this novel has it all; right along with a healthy dose of extra steamy chemistry and sex scenes that both add to the story and make the pages sizzle. This is all backed up by vibrant descriptions that allow you to both see and feel your surroundings. This is writing that really engages your senses. The hard core characters really pop in this novel. The aura of both danger and safety that surround Zee had me drooling and glued to the pages. The hardness emanating from him makes it all even more tantalizing. At the same time, the hints of vulnerability make him oh so very real. Tamara’s ability to bend yet to stand up for herself were remarkable. I simultaneously felt for her and wanted to cheer her on through her journey of self discovery. This was an earth quaking, soul shattering start to a series that I can’t get enough of. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
