Dirty Hot

I can normally count on books by these two ladies to be scorching, but this one, whew!! Natalia, our main character, has fled her crime boss father’s home after he murders a man...that was in her at the time. Thinking she’ll run away and become a nun, she stumbles into a filthy collection of “priests” instead.

Coming out of a drug and alcohol haze, several years in the making, it is quickly clear that Talia’s addictions include sex. Luckily the men are happy to help with that, even if she is the daughter of their next mark. From the leader, Hawke, that forces her submission so well, to the gentle giant, that is anything but, or even Arsen, who is just as likely to kill her as he is to bend her over, this one is no slow burn!

This book was a hot, quick read and left me panting for my own set of priests, or at least an Arsen to call my own! As usual, this one ends in a cliffhanger, so be prepared for that!

Oh my god... or should I say priests ;)
This book was insane and I loved every page of it!!
Natalia has some serious problems. Her father is the head of a Russian mob syndicate, and she's been turning to drugs, alcohol, and sex to cope for years. She's seen lots of horrible stuff that no one should ever see, and because of that she fits in pretty great with five fake priests.
After running away to a church to become a nun (lol I know even she thought it wasn't the best idea) Natalia finds five sexy priests who don't seem to be the most dedicated men of god. After quickly realizing these guys aren't real priests, it is revealed why they're really hiding out, and why they aren't letting her go.
I loved the characters in this book. Natalia was so strong to have survived what she has. She has some interesting coping methods that lead to great interactions with the guys. Hawke is the leader and definitely asserts his dominance in a cold and controlled way. Mace is a sweetheart but apparently that's not his normal personality. Weston and Colt are fun but serious when they need to be. And Arsen, Arsen is insane. They all give Natalia something different and provide lots of steam for this read.
I loved the switching POV in this book. Natalia is the main perspective, but it also alternates between the guys' perspectives too. This gave us insight into the guys' true intentions and the feelings they begin to develop for Natalia.
This book was exciting, captivating, and sexy as hell! It did end on a major cliffhanger, but instead of making me mad it just solidified my need for book 2. Altered by Lead seriously cannot come soon enough!!

This book has so much to take in from the first page to the last. I’m not a big fan of reverse harem but this one kept me wanting to read more, to know more about the men’s that each one is so different from the other but so alike at the same time and the heroine that brings them on their knees one way or another. It’s suspenseful and hot.

So i will say this book took me by total surprise the first couple of chapters. I had NO idea which way was up and down but you finally figure it out and it doesn’t disappoint. The sex scenes in this book are so out of this world that I had to make sure I wasn’t in public reading cus your girl was BLUSHING HARD. i devoured this in one sitting and was not disappointed. Amen
