DIRTY LIES
RELEASING OCT 12, 2015
Bad boy drummer Aidan Burke of Dirty B takes center stage in New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart’s hotly anticipated follow-up to Dirty Past and Dirty Secret!
Aidan Burke is the perfect rebound guy for Jessie Law after she catches her asshole ex-boyfriend with his hands down some other girl’s pants. The world-famous drummer of Dirty B isn’t shy about his preference for no-strings-attached relationships, so when she meets him on a night out, she takes him up on his simple proposal: One night of fun. Hot sex. Zero expectations.
But Dirty B’s tour is over, and they’re back in South Carolina—which means running into Aidan more often than Jessie would like.
When Aidan saves Jessie from her ex-boyfriend by insisting the two are dating, the band’s manager convinces them to keep up the charade in the hopes of re-inventing Dirty B’s image as lovable bad boys, as opposed to d-bags. Now all Aidan and Jessie have to do is put on a very obvious, very public show to convince everyone their affection is real.
But pretending to be in a relationship is harder than it seems. Aidan’s hordes of jealous fans have no problem bombarding Jessie with threatening messages online—and worse. And things only get more complicated when Jessie realizes her feelings for Aidan may not be so fake after all. Can Jessie live with the risks? And is Aidan willing to let her?
Review5 out of 5 Stars
The Burke Brothers books have excited me and I especially wanted to know more about the twins and with Dirty Lies that is what I got! Emma Hart does wonders with Dirty Lies, Aidan, and Jessie. Emma creates such a beautiful story with these two characters that all starts off with a lie. Such a foolish lie if they believe it too! Aidan and Jessie are fire. Together they can be explosive but they are so right together. Dirty Lies left me wanting a Burke of my own!
It all starts with a one night stand between these too and then it quickly becomes a fake relationship. Aidan does this to clear his record and make him look good with the public. Their band needs to clean up their act so the manager tells Aidan what to do and so the start of the fake relationship begins. Now you can just imagine a spit and fire kind of girl like Jessie. Do you really think she would agree to this that easily? Of course not but she finally relents on the account that she wants to show her cheating ex boyfriend that she has moved on.
So their fake relationship begins and they really stress the word fake. I find it funny how all the Burke brothers try to deny their attraction and their emotions but they soon can't. This book had me wanting to punch both the characters because although their relationship was fake, it felt so real. Aidan was sweet at times but even when he was being cocky he was just the right man to handle Jessie. The time they spend together always created funny and heated scenes ending with an angry Jessie. Their whole relationship had me hooked. I couldn't wait because with each scene they were explosive. I absolutely love Aidan and I am glad to have finally met him!
The think I loved the most were the tattoos! The meaning behind Jessie's tattoos was so incredible and well thought out. Emma Hart did amazing with that and the scene with Aidan!? *Swoon* That was one of the most perfect and meaningful moments this couple had. I won't share it so you will have to experience it for yourself. The whole book was amazing! Read this book because it is definitely worth it!
EXCERPT
“This,” she says, pointing to the trees curving around my
wrist. “So random. What do they mean?”
“Home,” I answer instantly. “My house has been surrounded by
these trees my whole life. I travel so much, sometimes the only time I can
remember is when I’m on a tour bus, traveling down the interstate, brushing my
teeth. And this helps me remember.”
“And this?” she tugs down the collar of my shirt. “ ‘One,
two, three, four’?”
“The words I say before every song,” I explain, thinking of
the words that are inked collarbone to collarbone. “Four of the most important
words I’ll ever say.”
“And these?” She lifts my shirt this time, revealing the
lyrics curving around my left side.
“The lyrics from the first song we ever wrote. It was
fucking garbage and never recorded, but the lines are everything to me.”
“ ‘It’s you, baby, it’s you / Your smile, your hair, your
lips, your touch,’ ” she reads aloud, finger tracing across the ink wrapping
around my side.
“Stop,” I groan, shoving my shirt back down and pushing her
hands away.
“Come on!” she laughs. “All of it, Aidan!”
“No!”
“Fine. I’ll just read it next time we line up.”
“You’re gonna have sex with me just to read the tattoo?”
“No.” She sits up and, resting her hand on the grass by the
side of my head, looks down at me. “I’m going to make you think we’re having
sex, read your tattoo, then run away.”
“What makes you think I’ll let you run away?”
“Didn’t say I’d get very far,” she mutters.
“Do you have an answer for everythin’?”
“Do you have a question for it?” Her delicate brows curve
upward, questions in her eyes. “Precisely,” she continues before I can answer.
“As long as you keep askin’, I’ll keep answerin’.”
“I have a question.” I sit up, fighting my smile, and push
her hair from her eyes. “Can I kiss you?”
Her lips part, shock flickering in her eyes, before she
closes her mouth. She shakes her head, a smile forming, and meets my eyes.
“Well played, rocker boy. Well played.”
“That isn’t an answer.”
“Yes,” she sighs, leaning forward to kiss me. She tastes
like candy apples and soda, sweetness overload, and it would be so easy to get
high on her right now.
“There,” she says softly, pulling back. “Answered.”
“Acknowledgment,” I correct her, pulling her closer to me.
“This is your answer.”
I kiss her long and hard and deep until I’m sure I really am
high on her.
