•••••••••
REVIEW: DIRTY SEXY GAMES is the second and final instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult DIRTY GAMES erotic, romance duet. DIRTY SEXY GAMES is the continuing story of businessman and Reach Inc. partner Weston King, and twenty-five year old Dyson Empire heiress Elizabeth Dyson. DIRTY SEXY GAMES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book one DIRTY SEXY PLAYER
NOTE: Weston King and his business partner were first introduced to the reader in the author’s Dirty Duet Series. I am not quite sure where in the time line of this particular series the Dirty Duet series takes place but considering the premise of both, there is a possible cross-over and parallel story. You do not have to have read the Dirty Duet to understand or follow Dirty Sexy Player.
SOME BACKGROUND: Upon the death of Elizabeth’s father Dell Dyson, founder, CEO and majority shareholder of Dyson Media, Elizabeth became the sole heir to the bulk of his fortune but circumstances prevent Elizabeth from taking over as her father added a misogynistic provision that Elizabeth must be twenty-nine or married before she is able to gain control. With her father’s cousin slowly dismantling the Dyson Empire, Elizabeth was desperate to secure her share of the family business. Enter Weston King, who, with the not so subtle push from his business partner Donovan Kincaid, reluctantly offers his hand in marriage in an effort to help Elizabeth gain control of Dyson Media, that in return merges Dyson advertising subsidiary with Reach Inc.
If you have not read book one DIRTY SEXY PLAYER there may be some spoilers in my review.
Told from dual first person points of view (Weston and Elizabeth) DIRTY SEXY GAMES follows in the aftermath of two surprising revelations that are about to come crashing down onto our storyline couple. With her marriage to Weston King, Elizabeth will all but secure her place within Dyson Media but Dyson’s head office is in Paris, France, and shocking news just minutes before saying ‘I do’ force Weston to choose between the love of his wife, and responsibilities back home. Never having expected to fall in love with Weston King, Elizabeth will make a heartbreaking decision that pushes Weston out of her life, as she struggles to move forward with what was and what will never be.
DIRTY SEXY GAMES follows Weston and Elizabeth as they embark of their honeymoon, playing a sexy game with one another. Weston battles between head and heart as he struggles to reveal the truth to the woman with whom he has fallen in love, as Elizabeth must prepare to prove that her relationship with Weston is based on love, not secrets and lies. Surprising our hero, Elizabeth accepts everything Weston reveals but Weston continues to struggle with which path to follow.
The relationship between Weston and Elizabeth begins as a marriage of convenience; an acrimonious arrangement wherein Weston struggles to see beyond the spoiled, little rich girl whose only sin is to be born a girl. Throughout the series Weston and Elizabeth slowly develop feelings for one another, feelings that neither believe are reciprocal or true. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Once again, we are re-introduced to Weston’s business partner Donovan Kincaid, an alpha male who controls Weston like a puppet on a string; Weston’s former friends with benefits Sabrina Lind; fellow business partner Nate Sinclair; Elizabeth’s mother Angela Dyson and her partner Marie; our heroine’s ex lover Clarence Sheridan ; as well as newcomers Dana, Callie and Sebastian; and Weston’s parents Nash and Maggie, and his sister Noelle.
The world building focuses on the relationship between Weston and Elizabeth, and the fallout of past sins on both sides of the family. Elizabeth follows the questionable advice of a mother whose own life spiralled out of control, as Weston must face the man who all be destroyed a young boy’s life.
DIRTY SEXY GAMES is an emotional and heart breaking story line; a sexy, spicy and inviting tale about two people who were thrown together by betrayal and revenge; secrets and lies. The premise is spirited and captivating; the romance is provocative and intense; the characters are energetic, charismatic and real. DIRTY SEXY GAMES is a fascinating and sensitive story of love, sacrifice and happily ever after.

NOTE: The excerpt is intended for readers 18+ due to strong language and content
I grabbed her hands, which were flying in midair as she yelled, and pulled them behind her back at her waist as I cut her off with a searing kiss, my tongue plunging into her open mouth, robbing her of oxygen.
When she was thoroughly kissed, her lips pliable, her body sagging in my arms, I let her go.
“I’m tired, Elizabeth. I’m not discussing fucking anything tonight.” I took off my tuxedo jacket and threw it on the desk. Then I began working on my cufflinks. “What I think we both need now is to release some tension.”
Her spine straightened, her neck growing longer as she stared at me in shock. “You think we’re going to have sex now?”
I loved how she made it sound disgusting, like she wasn’t interested, even when I’d just been kissing her and had felt the lean in her body, had tasted the desire in her mouth.
Two could play the indifference game.
I shrugged. “I’m fucking someone tonight. If you want it to be you, you better take off your dress.”
Her mouth slammed shut, and she only seemed to consider it for two seconds before she was fumbling with the zipper at her back. She struggled with it, but I didn’t help her. It made me stiff to watch her frantically trying to strip down, just because I told her to. Just because she thought I might find a better offer if she didn’t.
Like there was a better offer than her.
Like there was anyone but her.
I didn’t take my eyes off her as I unbuttoned my vest and tossed it to the side with my jacket. I’d loosened my tie by the time she got her dress undone. It fell to the floor and she was left wearing a strapless corseted bra, one that had a low back so it couldn’t be seen with her dress on, and matching lace panties—both in a white ivory so virginal and bridal it seemed dirty.
Jesus, she was a fucking wet dream.
And she was my wife.
In 2013, Laurelin Paige self-published her first novel. Her husband was just laid off, she had three kids, one with special needs, and they had just filed for bankruptcy so she needed this novel to work. Less than 1 year later, her debut novel, Fixed on You, was at the top of the bestseller lists and was named one of the top ten selling books of 2014 by Publishers Weekly (the only self-published book to do so) and a Top Ten Favorite Read of 2014 by People Magazine. Her successive self-published novels have been smash hits with readers.
Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She’s a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters.
