Bad boy drummer Aidan Burke of Dirty B takes center stage in New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart’s hotly anticipated follow-up to Dirty Past and Dirty Secret!
Aidan Burke is the perfect rebound guy for Jessie Law after she catches her asshole ex-boyfriend with his hands down some other girl’s pants. The world-famous drummer of Dirty B isn’t shy about his preference for no-strings-attached relationships, so when she meets him on a night out, she takes him up on his simple proposal: One night of fun. Hot sex. Zero expectations.
But Dirty B’s tour is over, and they’re back in South Carolina—which means running into Aidan more often than Jessie would like.
When Aidan saves Jessie from her ex-boyfriend by insisting the two are dating, the band’s manager convinces them to keep up the charade in the hopes of re-inventing Dirty B’s image as lovable bad boys, as opposed to d-bags. Now all Aidan and Jessie have to do is put on a very obvious, very public show to convince everyone their affection is real.
But pretending to be in a relationship is harder than it seems. Aidan’s hordes of jealous fans have no problem bombarding Jessie with threatening messages online—and worse. And things only get more complicated when Jessie realizes her feelings for Aidan may not be so fake after all. Can Jessie live with the risks? And is Aidan willing to let her?
REVIEW
- This my first book that I have read by Emma Hart. And I promise is wasn’t intentional either. And it won’t be my last.
First off I must say you can definitely read this book as a standalone in the series and not be lost at all. However, there are previous characters in this book so if you do not want to know how those characters ended up where they are, do not read this. Otherwise, you are good to go.
“Every lie beings with the truth. Every legend was borne of reality.”
I really enjoyed reading about Jessie and Aiden. These two are obviously from the same area and went to the same school. And yes, they had their fair share of run-ins, but neither saw the other as anything more than just that – classmates.
The dynamics between these two is amazing. They are like oil and water yet they both know how to set a spark in the other. They challenge each other in ways no one else has. They don’t put up with the other’s bull either. And they hide nothing – what you see is what you get. Except the lie they are telling the world…..and themselves.
“I fell in love with my lie.”
I truly loved watching this entire relationship blossom. The interactions between Jessie and Aiden had me laughing so hard at times. And seeing them both with their families, it just really made the story so much more real.
Emma really know how to make a story feel very real and true to life. I enjoyed reading about the other brothers and it makes me want to go back and read their books to see how they got to where they are.
Great series and I am looking forward to reading more of this series and more from this author.
By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies – usually wine – and writes books.
even the above is enticing like the books….lol
Not familiar with this series but now must become so! Thanks, I think 😉
Sadly I had not heard of it either til this book. After reading it, I’m definitely checking out the rest of this series. ~Court
