4 ‘They should have gotten their heads out of their arses sooner’ Stars.
Once upon a time there was a jilted princess well in this case not really a princess but you get my drift. Remington Montague has had a tough couple of weeks her engagement was broken off by the groom to be. She lost her deposit of ten grand. She went on her expected honeymoon with her friend Lulu and met a choreographed male perfection all in London, baby. On a night in the town at the club masquerade said choreographed male perfection wasn’t who he turned out to be. Which puts awkward into a whole new category.
Dax Blay is at a turning point in his life and there are two roads that he can take but he isn’t sure which the right one is. He knows that he needs to get his act together he isn’t academic but he has other attributes going for him. Over the summer he has been in London helping his cousin Spider beat his addiction. I smell some books coming up here with Spider and his band The Vital Rejects. Getting back to Dax though he is a man whore although there isn’t any detail in this book it only mentions that he has been with other women.
That is until Remi and Dax meet again they have history it isn’t easy to define their history
She had a funny way of showing it but you can’t hate the first boy you ever loved. He saves her from a really bad situation and they try to become friends it doesn’t work at first but they do become closer. As he thinks that she is still engaged to Hartford his desire to protect her and desire her doesn’t go away no matter how hard he tries. The thing is, Dax is a temporary guy and I’m a forever girl, and the two didn’t go together. Ever. But... he soon changes his tune.
“It’s not over yet,” I muttered under my breath as we walked away.
To him Remi Montague, was the one girl who’d blew his mind-and scared the shit out of him. He could easily break him so he decided to do it first. They realise that they have a lot more in common than they want to.
A lot that went wrong mistakes were made and secrets were kept. But the truth always comes out and he heard the news from someone else instead but he did in a way go searching for the answers.
It was push and pull a lot of the time and that is what annoyed me we moved forward five steps and jumped back by ten steps. Which I found to be really frustrating but the book also brought out other emotions in me. There was a lot of angst in this book and it had me on the edge of my seat. There were times I smiled, and times where I was sad as they could have had something spectacular for a long time but they didn’t see what was right in front of them.
Slowly and I mean slowly the come to their senses and realise what they mean to one another and that you have to accept all the flaws that we have to offer.
I adored Dirty English and with this book is no different. Although there were times where I wanted to bang my head against the wall or throw my kindle out of the window or plain just slap them in the neck hoping that some brain cells are shaken loose and that they get a move on.
As with all men they screw up but Dax did make up for it in the end.
Oh and he is a dirty talker
Dear Author and this is not specifically aimed at Ms. Madden-Mills but why can’t you give feminine names to females and not confuse me with the likes of Remi. My brain don’t always function and I need it to be easy sometimes, savvy?
What bugged me:
- It went on too long with Hartford and I wish that it could have been shorter
- The ending between them finally getting their heads out of their arses was rushed and felt anti-climactic in a way. The epilogue did make up for it in some way.
- Constant trying on Dax’s part to forget Remi with other women.
- Not enough communication between the two and they were quite immature at times but I did get some of the reasons behind it.
On a side note I really do feel quite sorry for Hartford, yes I know he left her at the altar but he’d never have had a chance anyway. Maybe he will get a book?

First we got a little Dirty and then we got a lot Filthy. These sexy British brothers that Ilsa Madden-Mills has written are scorching hot!
I needed to know what was up with Dax from the moment I read Dirty English. He intrigued me and had me wanting more. Let me tell you Filthy English de-freaking-livered! This book is by far the absolute best that I've read from Mills. And believe me I've loved her other books too. But this one, this one right here is something special.
It delivers on the second chance, on the angst, on the feels! Oh the feels I got from this book. And I loved Remi, Dax's other half. She was so relatable and real. I really tore through this book in a matter of hours. I need more sexy Brits in my life.

I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the last one! Dax's story was everything I needed it to be. Remi was relatable, and the chemistry between the characters was off the charts!

So, I liked it. I liked the beginning a lot. I liked the whole fling, enemies, fling side of it..some of the drama throughout I was okay with...
Issues....their inability to communicate and how quickly they glazed over her miscarriage...felt like there should’ve been more there...

What are the chances of running into someone you know in a club in another country?! Remi and Dax are lucky enough to have that encounter even if they don’t want it. Remi was dumped by her fiancé two weeks before their wedding but decides to go on her honeymoon. Dax is visiting his cousin for the summer. Both has been hurt and are scared. They try and fight their feelings but in the end they aren’t strong enough.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

This is the fourth book I've read by this author...this week! I'm obsessed with this series, and while I really liked the first one- this one took the cake! I love the real life aspects of these romance novels and the fact she actually adds meat to the bones of just the typical romance we're all so used to.
