Great fun read
Loved the banter and not so gracious way Blaire has about her, and Colin with not judging her and her eccentricity. Great characters and we'll worth reading. Rachel Van Dyken does not disappoint.

Dirty Exes is the feel good vindication everyone needs. It doesn't matter if you've been cheated on or not! Sticking it to the bad guy is fun! Unless he isn't the bad guy...
No matter what these women get their...perp. Criminal. Philanderer. Douchebag. I love the premise because it's fun. I loved the story because....it's fun. But I loved the tie into other books via certain characters more! I love the connections. I love the reminders of stories not yet finished or past situations. It causes an extra bond to the book and story. So of course of was a squealing preteen when I realized who Colin was- I was slowest forming that link.
Dirty Exes is the fun and flirty book you need now! And it's even better because I saw a book two is pending (wiggles eyebrows)!!

Premise - Blaire is a co-owner if Dirty Exes, a P.I. firm that exposes cheating spouses. She runs into the man that got away, Jessie, and discovers that Jessie is the cheating spouse of her newest client.
I think I would have DNF this book early on if it hadn’t been an arc, so guilt and obligation kept me reading. While the book did not go the direction I thought it would take, I can’t say I would recommend it.
Blaire goes into the PI business after her husband cheats on her with her best friend. She’s very insistent that she is over this and she has moved on. It feels like lies though.
“This job was everything I needed to focus on so I didn’t lose my mind and mentally consider all the reasons why I was in that small office stalking cheaters and trying to find as much dirt on them as possible. It was my vengeance. My goal. It was also lonely.”
I think she was supposed to come off empowered but she just felt bitter. Also I didn’t like the fact that she had a history with the guy she was trying to catch cheating. Seems like a moral dilemma.
“Jessie, our client’s husband? You have a history with our guy? I mean, what the hell, Blaire! We can’t take her on as a client.”
“Hell yes, we can.” I gritted my teeth.
Uber driver looked ready to drop me off at the nearest psych hospital.
“Isla, it’s a lot of money and it’s our job to expose cheaters for what they are! So yes, I have a history with Jessie. But this is business, not personal.”
Thank you Ilsa, voice of reason.
Colin, Jessie’s best friend, was great and called out Blaire on the fact she wasn’t over being cheated on.
I can’t say I would recommend it. It had a few funny moments but I was too aggravated at Blaire to appreciate them
Colin, you get two stars. Ilsa, you can have a half one

Well, that certainly ended in a very different place than I anticipated! I'm not even a little disappointed though.
This book was a delight to listen to, even if I did want to jump in and strangle Vanessa. Grr!
I really enjoyed the playful banter, the blossoming romance, even the dreaded run in with the ex left me smiling from ear to ear.
While it definitely isn't something I would normally pick up (I don't like cheating in my stories) the retribution these girls deliver was just too good to pass up.
Great narration, highly recommend!

Good read!
This book was smart, funny and a little quirky. It kept me interested the whole time and didn’t follow the typical “romance model”. Loved it!!
