Ahhhhhh! Thats how I feel about this book! It was so good! I loved the storyline following this new connection between Tamsyn and Lucien. Lucien holds so many secrets and there is just such a sense of mystery about his past throughout. And THE ENDING!!!! September needs to hurry itself up because I need the rest of this trilogy! 10/10!

This is a great book with a great plot. It immediately sucks you in from chapter 1.
There are so many emotions in this book! You really feel what the characters are feeling.
I thought the twist was in the final quarter of the book, no! That was nothing! It's on the very last page!
Can't wait for book 2

Emotion is on full display and wrapped within a different kind of fairytale. Ryan takes a tale of two yearning hearts and delivers perfection. From broken, beauty to courage of spirit, Filthy Rich is raw, unpredictable, irresistible, haunting, unforgettable romance.
medium-paced

Tamsyn and Lucien. His wife was lost as sea, but the body never recovered. She shows up in the end. I liked the unique story line. Can’t wait to read book 2!

My first read by Ava Ryan Did. Not. Disappoint.

I devoured Filthy Rich in one read it was that good! I was not putting my iPad down until I got to the end of this book.

I love a broody billionaire, especially one that's deliciously dirty but a little damaged, and Lucien Winters checks all the boxes.

Lucien was in lust at first sight when he laid eyes on the young Tamsyn at the airport, and he wasted no time upending his plans to chase her. Stalkerish much? Yes, but we love it!

They embark on a 2 week whirlwind cruise where he pulls out all the stops to get her in his bed. When he finds out she still has her v-card his alpha kicks into overdrive. Tamsyn quickly develops feelings as she gets small glimpses of what's underneath the broody billionaire, but knows he's holding his true self back from her and keeping secrets. Tamsyn is not in the feelings zone alone, no matter how much Lucien keeps trying to convince himself otherwise. She brings out all the good sides of him and makes him happy for the first time since the tragedy he suffered years ago.

Just when I think their HEA is on the horizon we can't smacked upside the head with the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers...

I'm not even mad about the cliffhanger because that just gives me something to look forward to, and if book 1 was this good, I can't even imagine what's in store for book 2.

I ARC read this book, and I loved it so much. We love when the guy falls fast and hard for the FMC!!! It’s also a bit of a fast burn which I haven’t read in a while and honestly I have no clue why. The cliffhanger hanger at the end had me looking around my room going what…no that can’t be. I honestly can’t wait for book two and to recommend this book!!!

As a cruise fanatic I found Filthy Rich to be a fun and interesting book that I could easily relate to! It had the vacation in Europe setting of a young home health nurse, a brooding billionaire who is suddenly obsessed with her, a snarky but funny wealthy socialite older woman, and plenty of spice for it’s 230 pages! 

Tamsyn is a registered nurse who is doing home health for a woman celebrating her 80th birthday. As they are waiting to board their plane for a week long cruise in the Mediterranean they run into Lucien, a wealthy but brooding billionaire. Lucien is immediately drawn to Tamsyn and ends up changing his flight and his plans just to pursue her in Europe. However he holds onto the feeling that his wife who died in a boating accident years before isn’t really dead and he struggles to not see her everywhere he looks. He doesn’t quite understand why he’s drawn to Tamsyn while still grieving his lost wife but he’s determined to figure out what it is about her. 

This is definitely a fun, spicy, exotic and quick read. Anyone who loves Billionaire, age gaps, dirty talking men, and grumpy and ornery old women will really enjoy this story! It does end on a cliffhanger as it’s part of a trilogy.
