Dirty Scoundrel

Roughneck Billionaires, Book 2

Clay Price has everything he's ever wanted, except the one thing money can't buy - Natalie Weston. Years ago, Clay and Natalie were in love...until she turned down his marriage proposal. Now Clay and his brothers are oil-rich billionaires, and they can have whatever they want. And what Clay wants is Natalie in his bed, no matter what it takes. If it means being ruthless, he'll do it.

Natalie gave up on true love years ago when the realities of the world destroyed her fairy-tale hopes. Giving up Clay is her biggest regret in life, and she's excited to see him return...until she finds out why. Clay's got one hell of a proposal for her: he'll save her father's business and bail Natalie out of debt if she'll agree to become his very personal assistant.

It's clear that he wants more from her than just typing. It's also clear that Natalie has no choice. This scoundrel's bet could destroy any hope they had of reconciliation - or it could bring them together once and for all....

Contains mature themes.

What a goober!

Natalie: “Sometimes you say the sweetest things- and sometimes I want to punch you right in the face!”
That about nailed my feelings for this book. Clay’s asinine plan to buy Natalie and screw his way past her had the makings for a toxic, Dark Romance- and that genre is not my thing at all. But, the first book made it clear that this series is beyond rom-com and firmly in slapstick, sitcom territory. One thing making a big difference is that Clay was always 100% adoring and enthusiastic during sex. Another was that he tried so hard to be ruthless and failed so miserably, that I couldn’t help but root for him.

Lexi: “… and don’t shave the bush … go Sasquatch on his A”
It took me halfway thru book 1 to warm to the male narrator’s aw shucks, hillbilly accents,
but darned if it wasn’t perfection for Clay “why are you taking love advice from a single man” Price.
This was totes adorable, mostly fun and sexy, with a few heart squeezing moments for good measure. And, it cued up the next book, featuring Natalie’s stealth BFF, and oddball straight-woman, Lexi,
who feels like Wednesday Adams without the Halloween.

Couldn’t finish

The story dragged and I couldn’t stand the hero and heroine. Couldn’t stand the heroine for being a “ prostitute” for money. The inner dialogue just so dumb. I couldn’t finish. I will not continue to the next installment. Don’t waste your time. The performance was okay.
