Dirty Rowdy Thing by Christina Lauren
5.0
"You want me just a little rough? Or you want me fucking wild?"
I have read this book at least 3 times all the way through. And it just gets better every time.
This is book 2 in the Wild Seasons series, and while you don't have to read all of them to understand what's going on, it's certainly helpful.
THIS BOOK IS SPICY. This entire series is incredible. Christina Lauren are incredibly talented at writing sizzling smut with significant plot. I've never felt more drawn to two characters before! Finn & Harlow are by far my favorite characters from this series (followed closely by Luke and London in book 4).
- Dual POV
- Kinks: bondage, some light dom/submissive behavior, and lots of praise
- Spice level: 4/5
Harlow - Harlow is a fixer. She's the friend you go to with your problems and she figures out a path forward for you. But when her mom is diagnosed with cancer, she realizes this is the one thing she'll never be able to fix. So when her former husband of 24 hours Finn pops up in southern California for undisclosed reasons, she sees him for exactly what he is: the perfect distraction.
Finn - Finn is the strong silent type. Broody and unlikely to share what he's thinking. The sexy and strong fisherman's family needs help with their fishing business, and it turns out there's a way out. Just not one he seriously wants to consider. But to make his family happy, he drives down to southern California to take a few meetings in LA, and to see his close friend Oliver who's opening a comic book store in San Diego, and Ansel who has just moved to the states to be with his now wife Mia. But when he runs into Harlow and realizes she's looking for a distraction from her problems too, they are like magnets. He can't stay away from her.
The intimacy between these two is more than hot - there's trust. There's intense connection. There's a recognition of something in each other. The way they NEED each other at the points of their life they are in? Their connection was just so deep and strong and it shines through the entire book.
Both are stubborn. Both are strong-headed. But they drop all of that when they are around each other.
