DIRTY by Clare James
Gabe Shannon is about to get schooled…
What drives a reserved entrepreneur to the underground world of pleasure and kink? Well, it could be a recent heartbreak, or a stripper friend named Tash, or good ol’ fashioned curiosity. Either way, he quickly discovers he likes it. A lot. In a fun romp around Chicago’s sex club scene, Gabe Shannon gets schooled. And, class has never been more fun…DIRTY is great for fans of Wallbanger by Alice Clayton and Tangled by Emma Chase.

Gabe
Shannon has just been schooled … in the art of kink, that is.
After a
heartbreaking loss, this broken man spins out of control until a whirlwind
friendship with a stripper named Tash takes over his life.
With Tash at
his side, the two embark on a crazy tour of Chicago’s underground world of
pleasure. Yes, he’s gone into a deep, dark, and dirty (make that D.I.R.T.Y.)
world that he never really knew existed. And surprisingly, he discovers he
likes it. Quite a lot.
But the
reserved entrepreneur soon realizes that hanging from the chandeliers every
night is not all it’s cracked up to be. Well, it is … but it’d sure be a lot
more fun if it meant something.
This erotic
tale can be read as an introduction to the Bestselling Quick and Dirty Series,
or to learn more about the gorgeous Gabe Shannon anytime during the series.
DIRTY is not a mandatory read, but you may enjoy the series more after you roam
around in Gabe’s head a bit.
DIRTY tells
the story of how Gabe started exploring his dirty side, came to own Club Venus,
and met the crazy beautiful Stevie Sinclair.

Rachel's Review~
This novella was the first I've read in this series..and once I found out it was a series, I was like, Uh Oh...but then I noticed it's technically book .5, the beginning. So Hey...what a time to start! And start it does. I'm hooked. Gabe's awesome. He obviously loved his wife (girlfriend, whatever she was) and I'm assuming she died, but regardless, after being able to picture himself in the burbs with kids and pets he's set adrift. After drowning his sorrows in drink, and finding out that doesn't work, he ends up at a strip club. One of the strippers, Tash, becomes his best friend...and it's her mission to see that his plumbing still works...
We get into Gabe's mind and he gets into his kink. So now, I've gotta grab the rest of the series and see how things work out! What a great prologue. Short, sweet, sexy and yep, it does it's job! Makes you wanna finish what Tash has started.
Great quick read, beginning what sounds to be a super series.

Excerpt from DIRTY
“I’ve been
spending a lot of time at the bar,” I finally told her, not taking my eyes off
the city scene. “And strip club, if you want me to be honest.” It was the
truth, and probably expected in some ways. My reasoning, however, was anything
but typical.
“Is it
helping?” she asked, while scrawling in her notebook. She was always writing in
that damn thing, and I couldn’t stand the sound of it—the dull scratch of pen
on paper. Dr. Fielding, aka the shrink from hell, couldn’t help herself.
She dissected every word I said. Of course, she came highly recommended and had
an incredible reputation. Yet, frankly, I wasn’t seeing it. I’d been coming
here for more than a month and she continued to treat me like I was some kind
of depressed teenager or recovering addict, like this stage in my life was just
a passing moment. As if I wouldn’t be stuck here forever.
Right.
“No, it’s not fucking helping.” I stood up and faced her, feeling
the little control I had left begin to slip away. “And neither are these
sessions, Doc.”
“What do you think would help?” Dr. Fielding didn’t move an inch
as I paced the room, stopping to toy with her knickknacks on the bookshelf.
“Well, Tash –”
“Your stripper friend?” She interrupted.
“Well, that’s not how I’d characterize her,” I said, smiling now
thinking about how Tasha would put the good doctor in her place after such a
comment. “Plus, I think exotic dancer is more apropos these days.”
“Apologies.” She smirked. “Go on.”
“As I was saying,” I paused and raised a brow, just to be sure she
wouldn’t interrupt me again. “Tasha wants to take me some place new tonight.
But she said I needed to keep an open mind.”
DIRTY LITTLE LIES:
Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has
just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named
Free. (Yeah, she knows it’s a stupid name, so don’t start.) But most
importantly, Stevie’s lost herself.
As she shuffles through her days in worn-out
Hello Kitty PJs—eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next
move—a magazine article catches her attention. Blaring black letters read: “How
to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps.”
Stevie studies the article in the trashy
magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do.
With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie
embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex.
Until she meets Gabe Shannon. Gorgeous,
single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a lifestyle that
is sure to help get her sexy back and then some. If she doesn’t chicken out …
(Oh, you know where this is going.)
DIRTY LITTLE TRICKS:
In this second book in the Quick and Dirty Series, beloved
characters Stevie Sinclair and Gabe Shannon navigate through the ups and downs
of their grown-up—albeit kinky—relationship.
And while Stevie’s thoroughly enjoyed every
mind-blowing sexperience with Gabe, she worries she’s not enough to keep him
satisfied for the long term.
So it’s back to the drawing board for Stevie
…
First stop?
Club Venus for the annual Halloween
masquerade party.
What follows is one insanely hot and filthy
night of mayhem where nobody is who they appear to be … ah, you get the idea.
Dirty Little Tricks is the seductive
continuation of Stevie and Gabe’s story and the very beginning for one lucky
couple at Club Venus.
