3.5 Stars!
I really liked this book! Dax was such a great guy and I really enjoyed the character of Remi! This story is a second chance at love. And I wasn't prepared for Dax to be so charming! I loved Remi and her love for her brother.
The pacing was good overall in this book, although I didn't like that, in first year, they fell in love in a weekend and it ended as quickly as it began. Also, I didn't really the Romeo and Juliet vibe I was promised. With the first one, I got the Pride and Prejudice but with this one...no...I didn't get it and I felt kind of shortchanged which is why it's losing a star.
Yes, this review is crazy short because I read this book so long ago!
But I did enjoy this one!

4 stars (low 4...)
I actually enjoyed this book, despite the predictable story line. The two main characters have met - and slept together - before, and even though they both kinda, sorta fell in love, the 'relationship' ended. Years later, fate will have it that they meet up in a bar, on the other side of the world, and sparks fly.
I'm an absolute sucker for romance like this, and I found Dax to be staggering. I loved the easy book flow, and I finished this in one day.
With that said, I gave it 4 stars, because it wasn't one of those books to rock my world, and change my life forever. Likely, I won't remember it in a few months. But all in all, it was a light, easy, enjoyable read.

Sexy 2nd chance. This one had lots of drama: broken engagement, run in with 72 hour stand, attack/robbery, hero, friends agreement, and some much more.
Dax is just terrified about connecting with someone and then losing them. He is alpha and free with his hook ups.
Remi had her heartbroken and then suffered a horrible he loss. She moved on and was jilted. Now she wants to rebound in a day deferent country. But instead she runs into the heartbreaker.
I really liked these two but agreed with her friend “ you two need to just screw already”.
There was a lot going on in this book. I enjoyed the story arc although I wanted them to figure it out before they did.

One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime….
Remi and Dax have a history.
They spend 3 nights together and Remi thought they were in love.
Dax, being the immature male, ran away from Remi and his feelings for her.
What he didn’t know was those nights they spent together had consequences…
I enjoyed the development of the story.
Dax and Remi meeting after so much time, the pain Rami carries the regret Dax holds…
I could identify with Remi's pain, being jilted by her fiancé and now coming face to face with the man she loved who also deserted her.
As the story progresses we learn more about Dax and his life , the reasoning behind his fear of starting a relationship with Remi.
I liked him for trying to change things after learning the secret Remi carried.
An NY book filled with angst and drama Filthy English gets 3 stars from me.

3,5 stars.
I have to say, I expected more.
The first thing that bothered me was how much has happened in one night in the story. The second thing I didn't like was no matter how much Remi cared for Dax, the second her ex came into picture, she took him back. Without a doubt, she continued being engaged to him like they weren't on a break.
I think this story could be better.

Filthy English is the second book in the English series. I absolutely loved Dirty English so I knew I had to get my hands on Filthy English. We met Dax, Declan's twin brother and all-around player, in Dirty English. I always knew there was a reason for his manwhore ways and as it turns out, it's because of the one girl that got away. The one girl he spent the best three nights of his life with who he let walk out his door. Three years later in a bar in London, she literally falls into his lap. He didn't recognize her until she got close enough and her scent mesmerized him. Memories came flooding back and he couldn't help himself. Remi is on her honeymoon without her husband. He cancelled the wedding and she took her best friend Lulu with her instead. She wants to move on and she thinks one night with a sexy Brit will do the trick. After a few drinks and a slip, she ends up in the lap of a handsome stranger who turns out not to be a stranger at all, but the only man she's ever loved, Dax Blay. She can't do that to herself again. She's still heartbroken from the way things ended years ago. Her mind says no, but her body says yes! Can Dax convince Remi to start over and just be friends? Is that what he really wants? I love this couple! They have great chemistry and hilarious banter. I haven't read a couple this frustrating in years, but it was worth it in the end! I hope to see Lulu and Spider again :).
"What does it taste like?"
"Like bad decisions."
I don’t think I could carry on without knowing he was breathing. Like a piece of carefully folded paper that's been hidden away but it now opened, I saw everything clearly. The truth had been right in front of me the entire time.

Remi & Dax
Ok I am going to say it.. I am not a Remi fan, I just can’t with her. I get why but I just can’t wrap my head around why she went back.
Dax totally killed it for me in all the right ways. I was rooting for him from the get go. He was sweet, protective, hunky and manly.
Things were going soooo well until the Ex came back. I loved the banter the wit all of it. I just wanted Remi to be more than she was I guess.
The ending worked for me. But I have hard feeling toward Remi.. I know I know… Its ok it works out in the end.
Again great narrators, I really liked that there was a change in narrators from the first book only because then it didn’t feel like the same book, does that make sense?
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

This one I really liked even more because it took place in London, and that was a fun part. Now, I did want to slap Dax at one point. But Dax, he is so funny. I mean this quote says it all: "You can call me Dax, or Sex Lord, or Daddy, whatever floats your boat." While he seems much more fun-loving than Declan was at first, he does some really irritating things when he feels like he's lost Remi. But still, I did love him as much as Declan. Although Declan might be my favorite, I'd take either one of these two twin brothers, or why choose, give me both!

This is my first book that I read by Ilsa Madden-Mills . Reading the synopsis, I was intrigued because it says the book like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. I don't see how you can make this book comparable to Romeo and Juliet; it's much different. However, this was a really good read for me. It's truly a stand alone novel, so you don't need to read the first book. After reading this, I am going to go back and read the first book in the series. Who ever said love is an emotional rollercoaster must have thought of Dax and Remi. Love is never easy; but reading the story there is no denying Dax and Remi feelings even with all the frustrations of their miscommunication.
