About the book: Release Date March 27, 2017
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.

REVIEW: DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN is the first installment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary, adult, erotic DIRTY DUET focusing on Weston King, Donovan Kincaid, and Sabrina Lind.
NOTE: DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN contains scenes of sexual assault, fantasy rape and aggressive sex, and may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from first person point of view (Sabrina Lind) DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN follows Sabrina Lind- from Harvard Business School where she will meet the future rich and powerful men that will eventually control her world –to ten years later wherein Sabrina will face the truth about the man that calls to her heart.
DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN is a story line of one woman’s struggle to be accepted in a world dominated by men and one man in particular that refuses to admit his attraction and need. Torn between two men our heroine is caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse-sometimes the aggressor but always the prey.
Donovan Kincaid is a controlling, alpha male lead with demons so dark they control every aspect of his life. A secreted past buried so deep, his guilt eats at his emotions preventing our ‘anti-hero’ from ever falling in love. Weston King is a bit more laid back but a man on a mission that he claims is out of his control. And our heroine Sabrina Lind, who battles her attraction to a man who doesn’t want anything beyond the present-no relationships, no friendships, no falling in love or letting go. She is a willing participant in the dangerous game between Donovan and Weston but it is what she wants that is more difficult to understand or control
DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN is a story of power, control, money and greed. Weston King offers Sabrina his world but is unable to deliver everything that she wants. Donovan Kincaid offers up nothing in return but a heartbreaking reminder of what it is Sabrina has lost and wants. The premise is controversial and intriguing; the characters are intoxicating, damaged and lost; the romance struggles with demons from the past. DIRTY FILTHY RICH MEN is a dramatic look at three people whose lives will collide between the present and the past.
NOTE: Dirty Filthy Rich Boys is a prequel novella that covers a few days in the life at Harvard Business School and is also available as the prologue in Dirty Filthy Rich Men therefore there is no need to order a separate copy to read or review.

Giddiness surged through me, starting like a pinprick at my center and moving out through my veins in all directions until even my fingers and toes felt warm.
I was really here.
I made it.
It wasn’t the way I thought it would be, but in the end, it still came out of my time at Harvard. I’d always known that connections made the difference in a career, and here I was. Finally. At the top of the world, looking out.
I couldn’t stop grinning.
“It’s incredible, isn’t it?” a male voice came from behind me.
Still smiling, I glanced up and caught his reflection in the window.
And everything disappeared.
The world that had buzzed below, the beautiful scene, the excitement that had unfurled through my body—all of it evaporated and all that existed in its place was a pale, hollow shell of myself and the man in the perfectly tailored suit behind me.
I turned to look at him directly. Our gazes smashed together, and my legs nearly fell out from under me.
“Donovan,” I rasped. It was a miracle that I managed to find enough voice to say that much.
And there was so much more that had to be said. So much more that I hadn’t prepared for. Which was ridiculous since I’d talked to him so many times in my head over the years, practiced so many conversations, but never did he show up out of the blue looking so dastardly handsome in a dark gray three-piece suit, his face rugged with scruff, his eyes hazel and earnest despite the playful smirk on his lips.
I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I wasn’t even sure how to breathe anymore.
He broke our gaze to nod out the window at the skyline, walking toward me as he said, “I’m sure you found the Empire.”
Though his focus was now on the scenery, I didn’t take my eyes off him as he approached. He didn’t stop until he was right beside me. So close our shoulders would touch if I coughed. Tension ran off him like foam spilling over from a mug of beer. Good tension. Bad tension. I wasn’t sure if there was a difference when it came to Donovan.
Which was why I was screwed if he was here.
Why the hell was he here?
“I thought you were in Tokyo.” I couldn’t stop staring at him. He’d gotten more refined with age, and rougher at the same time. His hair was short and his curls gone, giving him a polished look he lacked before. The lines by his eyes were more defined and his expression seemed harder than I’d remembered. It made him sexier.
As if he was a man who needed to be sexier than the one I knew.
“I came back two months ago,” he said offhandedly. “That’s it right there.” He leaned his face in close to mine as he pointed to the famous structure. “Do you see it?”
Fuck if I cared about the Empire. I was in Donovan Kincaid’s orbit. What else was there in the world?
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.
