A sweet and fun story. I enjoyed the connection and banter between the characters. The chemistry is sizzling while pulling your heartstrings. It’s an entertaining read.

Dirty Dealer was a fun, flirty, and sweet adventure. Jude has everything he could ever want, but now he realizes it's lonely not having anyone to share it with. Until one day he meets Rachel, the stubborn, independent, doesn't need anyone's help, will do it on her own, on the side of the highway. Rachel is trying her best to make it as a make-up artist in LA and is having not so great luck lately. Jude and Rachel banter back and forth until she agrees to let him help her out. Jude and Rachel takes on quite the adventure with Jude trying to win over Rachel and give him a chance to see where things could go between them. However, what will happen when the past resurfaces and secrets are kept to protect others? This was a fun dive into the Cocky Hero Club world, especially with appearances by Chance and Aubrey, love those two!

I enjoyed this one. When Rachel's car breaks down it's pretty much rock bottom or is it? Has her luck finally turned around? I loved Rachel and Jude together. They have a ton of chemistry. There is so much more depth to Jude then what's on the surface. There is one moment the Jude breaks my heart. His past drives him who he is today. Rachel could be the key to the happiness he's been searching for, but will Jude gets in his own way? I felt for Rachel. Karma needs to visit all her roommates, but one. Man are they a piece of work. Rachel deserves something to go her way. To finally see her dreams come true. Jude does a few swoon worthy things, but him having Walter is the biggest.

I have to say that this one was an unexpected story. You get wrapped up in the world that Shea created within the Cockyverse. Rachel is such a fighter. Moving on from being shattered, she fights for her dream. With Jude, you want it, you get it. But that doesn’t exactly work for Jude himself. His draw to Rachel made me giggle at moments but their chemistry was absolutely stunning. Yes, Jude pulled some dirty moves to keep Rachel in his life, but what would you do for the one that you love or is falling in love with? I adored the fact Rachel was a makeup artist and how she fights for her work and puts everything into it. But when things implode, the way that these two fought to be together was beautiful. This one is full of quick wit and amazing banter and swoon worthy chemistry that will keep you fully engrossed.

The writing and humor in this novel is so different from the books I usually read. Jude tried really hard to be an alpha hero but really he came off as a sensitive beta, which isn't a bad thing but I wish he wasn't trying so hard. I liked Rachael for the most part, but she was annoying at times as she continually jumped to conclusions. The story was cute and sweet, but took too long to fully gain traction and take off.

I absolutely LOVED Dirty Dealer by Kacey Shea! Not only did I really fall in love with the two main characters Jude and Rachel, I also fell in love with the side characters in this story! I was instantly hooked from the beginning and there is no denying the hot connection Jude and Rachel have for each other! Phew I need to fan myself haha. Jude and Rachel are added to my list of favorite characters. This has me swooning and saying “awww” out loud. I highly recommend this book!

DNF. I understand slow burns but this was an ember for me

I really enjoyed this story. The Characters Jude and Rachel were endearing, they had a back and forth kind of vibe going. Rachel is a proud, stubborn,hardworking young woman who just can't seem to catch a break. She meets Jude in the oddest place. he comes to her rescue on the side of the road. He continues to come to her rescue even when she doesn't want him too.

She helps him to see what he has been missing in life and in love. They get along really well, they spend time getting to know each other. Their relationship progresses really nicely, not too rushed. They have just enough heat to make you squirm a bit. I would definitely recommend this book. I really enjoyed reading this latest book from Kacey.

This is a great addition to the Cocky Hero Club world. Jude has worked hard and has become a successful businessman who seems to have it all. But he misses having a real connection with someone he loves. When he see a gorgeous woman stranded on the side of the road, something sparks within him and he stops to help. Rachel has run from a bad relationship, moving to LA to become a makeup artist. She is struggling getting started with little money, a car that broke down, and awful roommates. But just because she is having a hard time does't mean she wants to depend on a man to rescue her. The more Jude offers to help the more she pushes him away. But when she has no other choice, she moves in with him temporarily until she gets back on her feet. Jude loves that she doesn't care about his money or contacts. She is funny, sweet, and talented and he is determined to keep her close so she sees that they are perfect for each other. Rachel begins to trust Jude, until his secrets come out. I loved the push/pull of their relationship, their witty banter and the slow burn sexual tension between them.
Teddy Hamilton, and Felicity Munroe are so perfect as Jude and Rachel. Their expressive voices and ability to easily move between fun and flirty to impassioned and poignant is incredible. I love listening to them both and they definitely make this fun, heartfelt and sizzling romance even more captivating.

Shea writes the best heroines. Funny, feisty and fiercely independent. That tends to make love more than little complicated, but beyond intriguing. Rachel and Jude are a spirited duo. She pushes his buttons. He tempts her far too much. Somehow they manage to be a temptation that proves to be addictive fun.
