What is it about this man that sets me off like no one ever has before? It’s not fair that I have no control over my physical reactions when it comes to Boone.

I love the Heroes that Meghan March creates in her stories. They’re 100% alpha and skilled in the art of dirty talk. Well, the title of this story couldn’t be more fitting!! The chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts H-O-T!! This was one incredibly steamy and entirely too entertaining read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the conclusion!



Boone Thrasher is one of the biggest Country singers around. We met him briefly in the REAL DUET series when Logan was hired to remodel Boone’s classic muscle car. Boone is dealing with some unexpected drama when he learns that the girl he was planning on proposing to, has run off and married some Hollywood producer in Vegas. Now his personal life has become the latest fodder for the paparazzi. After one of his concerts, his buddy takes him to a local bar to drink his sorrows away in the safety of anonymity as this bar rarely has any customers. Boone meets a gorgeous spitfire who happens to be the bartender and the owner of the establishment. They do not get off to a pleasant start as Boone is still licking his wounds from being dumped and Ripley has a strict rule against getting involved with celebrities.




Ripley Fischer has a blind sense of loyalty to her father who has always been physically and mentally abusive towards her. She started running the bar for him when he became ill and could no longer take care of the place himself. He’s got a serious chip on his shoulder when it comes to her deceased mother and never lets her forget that he thinks the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree when it comes to Ripley. But Ripley works hard to keep the dying business afloat and has even spent almost all of her savings to do so. When she meets Boone for the first time there is definitely a deep attraction there but she does her best to fight off those feelings.

When Boone’s plans to help Ripley’s bar make some extra revenue by performing a surprise concert there, his good intentions end up backfiring. He quickly comes to her rescue and has her staying at his place. He’s rough around the edges and one heck of a dirty talker but his heart and his need to take care of Ripley have her melting for him instantly.




Boone is one hot as hell Southern boy and I guarantee that an endless amount of panties will be melting while reading this book! The steam is out of this world HOT!!!



REALY DIRTY releases on May 9th! Meghan March fans will love this one and if you haven't read any of her books yet, I highly recommend that you bump this author up your TBRs!

*Spoiler Alert*

Another good girl who sets her life on pause just so she could:

1. Run a bar (that was failing) simply because it was the last connection she had to her mother who was murdered in the bar

2. Pay the care bills and generally support her ungrateful and abusive father

3. For reasons unknown, allow her idiot cousin treat her like trash.

Ripley, our FMC, is hardworking but not the sharpest tool in the box and while I have no qualms with anyone supporting their loved ones, the recipient has to be worthy of the time, energy, and resources. That Ripley had a misplaced loyalty to a family who did not appreciate her, is on her.


Leaving aside those issues, another strike against her was her contradicting behaviour toward, Boone, the male protagonist. She talked a good game about avoiding a relationship with a celebrity, except the minute Boone laid one on her, she melted like a snow cone in the Sahara. Now, in her defence she was pretty smashed; which then leads to my wondering why Boone, knowing she was inebriated and incapable of making rational decisions, had sex with Ripley. That's the first rule for any decent guy: MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNER IS SOBER. Strike one for Boone.

Moving on.

Seeing as how Boone had been all set to propose to his GF of 2 years that very night he met Ripley, their relationship felt like a rebound. Something that happened simply because Boone's GF married another guy. Can you see where I'm going with this?

I don't know about you but personally, I would give a wide berth to any guy who was, as recent as 24 hrs prior, serious enough with another woman to the point he bought a ring. There is nothing wrong with being just friends or even telling him to come back in a few months (weeks, at the least). That Boone noticed Ripley's curvy body and gravity-defying boobies said so much about his "heartbreak". This on the same night he was set to propose? LMAO. *Sigh* Anyway.

Aside from his alpha-caveman tendencies and of course his country crooner sexiness, Boone was just so........what's the word....blah. Not to mention easily led around by his dick. Why on earth would a grown ass man- and a celebrity at that- agree to assist Ripley in stealing a parrot? And why the fuck did Ripley, who had far more important and pending problems, need to take the parrot that in all likelihood would still have been there a year from now? Between these two and their insipid love story, I probably lost a few neurones.

In spite of my displeasure with Real Dirty, I probably will read the next serial because there has got be more to this story of the wealthy superstar and the poor hot girl. There just has to be.

Dirty, delicious, and downright DELECTABLE! Cover to cover, this was absolutely mesmerizing! Boone and Ripley are two of my ALL TIME FAVORITE characters from Meghan March! I had no doubt in my mind that REAL DIRTY would be absolutely EVERYTHING! Meghan March just DOES DUETS RIGHT! I have been bouncing off the walls the minute I heard that this duet was coming and that Meghan was giving us Boone Thrasher's story. When this sexy beast showed up on my Kindle, I was like a little kid on Christmas morning. Nothing else mattered but THIS BOOK and I don't think I've ever devoured a book so quickly!

"Don't call me sugar just because you don't remember my name."

She's still got me in the same category of every asshole who's come into this bar with a record under his belt.

"I call you sugar because even though you've got a sharp tongue, I expect you'd be sweet as hell once I go you under me."

And ladies...that is only the beginning of the dirty talk that is Boone Thrasher. Get ready to SWOON HARD, LAUGH HARD, and BLUSH HARD with Real Dirty, book one in the AMAZING new Real Dirty Duet! Guys! OMG! The flirtatious and sexy banter between Ripley and Boone is ON-POINT! Seriously! I couldn't get enough! Cover to cover, this had EVERYTHING I could EVER want in a sexy romance! But then again, this is Meghan March we're talking about. She just KILLS it every single time! With blazing HOT chemistry, witty and hilarious banter, and sex scenes that would make a porn star blush, REAL DIRTY owned me cover to cover!

"She's going to be as hot as fire, and God help me, but I don't care if we both burn."

There is so much passion with every turn of the page. There is hilarity all throughout these chapters. There is SO MUCH HEAT, you will not know what to do with yourself! I'm telling you, once you start, there is NO PUTTING IT DOWN! Trust me you will be craving book two before you know it. With all the feistiness and scorching hot chemistry, Ms. March gives us the perfect balance by adding tenderness and sweetness to the story.

"I need...more."

"Sugar, I'm gonna give you everything."


And I'm dead! I think I pretty much highlighted every single sexy and sweet thing that came out of the gorgeous man's mouth! Ms. March teases us with one hell of a first connection between Boone and Ripley, and then with every turn of the page, we dive deeper into the amazing heated chemistry between these two WONDERFUL and COMPLEX characters. Ms. March has set the bar pretty damn high with REAL DIRTY. A blazingly HOT romance full of mystery, passion, and intrigue, and an ending you WILL NOT see coming! Bring it on Meghan March. BRING. IT. ON.

Meghan March has strummed and found the beat to my heart!!! Yes, she is back at it again with her dirty-talking alpha heroes and this time around she delivers us country music bad boy, Boone Thrasher. So ladies, prepare to be singing, swooning, chanting, and getting REAL DIRTY with Boone!!!!

 photo a14a2c56fec232caab3f3a846b97fa_zpsjkynzeob.gif She wants me. I know it. She knows it. Now the question is— what are we going to do about it? ”

If there is one thing that you must know about Meghan March is that she can write sexy romance like no other. Yes, panties will be wet and hearts will be craving for more of this country music bad boy. So who is Boone Thrasher? Well besides that he is country music famous bad boy tattoo singer, he is a man is dealing with the paparazzi trying to get the inside scoop on his failed relationship with a certain starlet. With the need to escape the media frenzy, Boone finds himself going to a hole in the wall bar.

#IwantToHate

Ripley Fischer is working at her family own dive bar called the Fishbowl. What used to be a packed bar now finds itself barely serving any customers that is until Boone Thrasher walked into her bar and into her life.

 photo a14a2c56fec232caab3f3a846b97fa_zpsjkynzeob.gif It’s not fair for a man to be gorgeous, rich, talented, and have a huge cock, is it?”

Right off the initial meeting, there was no denying the sexual attraction these two had for each other. Ripley was a sexy bombshell with a feisty personality to boot. While Ripley is dangerously attracted to Boone, she has one rule. Don’t date celebrities. Well, it didn’t take long for her to break her own rule when she’s see Boone’s hard steel of abs and cock.

#dIPPING (1)

What was supposed to be a casual night of revenge post break up sex, Boone and Ripley finds themselves wanting and needing more. As these two begins to get to know each other sexually, they soon begin to let little secrets of themselves be revealed. But what happens when the happily ever after song comes to an end and they must deal with the media and a surprising turn of events? Will Boone Thrasher be singing and crooning a love song or another heartbreak?

 photo a14a2c56fec232caab3f3a846b97fa_zpsjkynzeob.gif I want her. I want all that rage burning through her underneath me. On top of me. Wherever the hell I can get her.”

#RealDirtyWhateverQuote

Real Dirty was fantastic!!! It was fun, sexy, passionate and sweet.Meghan March easily brings forth a romance that is packed with heart and oh so much heat. The writing as always was sexy and flowed at a right pace. I seriously can’t wait for the next book because I need more Boone Thrasher, Ripley, and that damn bird.

Meghan March has always managed to bring us these characters that we would kill to be. Sure , some of them are crazy as hell, but they make for the best entertainment and “Real Dirty did not disappoint!

Boone Thrasher is country music’s golden boy. With every man woman and child singing along to his songs, he’s at the top of his music game. Being number one is a pretty good spot to be in but proposing to your long time girlfriend in front of your fans and driving off into the sunset? Now that’s a sweet dream. But that dream quickly becomes a PR nightmare when the girlfriend in question does a number on Boone and breaks his heart. With a bad breakup, a country bar, and a hot little brunette, I can practically hear a new song being written, but for Boone, this is his reality and you just can’t make this stuff up.

“She’s going to be as hot as fire, and God help me, but I don’t care if we both burn. “

Ripley has seen her fair share of drama and tragedy in her life. The one thing she can’t stand is celebrities. Country music Stars to be exact. So when Boone Thrasher shows up to her bar to get away from the press, let’s just say it got real heated and not only in the sexual tension type of way. What’s a girl to do when Country’s most lovable reform bad boy suddenly makes you want throw all of your reservations out of the window? You give in. But not without some Ripley flare drama of course.

This was a fast paced,hot quick read that I really enjoyed. Ripley and Boone chemistry were off the charts and I loved their connection that they had with each other. Usually with a relationship like this, I would’ve had a problem with the insta lust but that wasn’t the case here and I loved how the author portrayed it. Now this does end on a cliffhanger so if you’re stabby like me, it would be in your best interest to wait until “Real Sexy” comes out. If you’re a little crazy and you don’t mind the cliffhanger, then this the perfect read for you.

***5 ‘My Kind of Crazy’ Stars***

Can I be Ripley so I can have Boone? Actually, I’d love to be Ripley period regardless, but holy hell these two...I swear sparks of every kind were flying all over the place because of these two! The heart melting sweet and panty dissolving smexy were on point and with a good dose of sass added into the mix I couldn’t put this one down!

I’ve loved Boone since meeting him in the Dirty Billionaire trilogy. He’s a big time country music star with a good old redneck heart who loves his mama and takes shit from no one. He’s got his feet firmly planted in both worlds, but makes his own rules. Ripley’s got all kinds of moxie. This woman is tough and can hold her own with the best of them. I loved her sass, but I loved her heart even more. And then there are those sparks...flames...whatever you want to call it whenever they were in the same vicinity. I swear it didn’t matter what they were doing, the chemistry between them was nuclear. Things weren’t smooth sailing for these two on any level, but I loved every second of it!

As always, Ms. March’s writing is spot on. The various plot lines are all well thought out and paced throughout the book. And then there are the supporting cast of characters. Some I absolutely adored, like Zane and Esteban ~ I seriously LOVE Esteban ~ and some I want to gut with a spoon, but all of them are very well written and only add depth to the story. And then there is that ending...That ending has me wishing I had some sort of voodoo magic to make Real Sexy appear on my Kindle right now, but since that isn’t the case I will do my best to practice patience for the time being.

I didn’t hate it…but I didn’t like it all that much either! I found the plot not that interesting, and pretty boring. Three stars are there just because the whole story was somehow cliche. Something already seen in so many books......

I've been interested in reading more about Boone ever since the Dirty Billionaire series and this book did not disappoint!

Boone Thrasher, good lord, that man is sex on a stick! The way he treated Ripley was so swoon worthy and that dirty mouth of his!! He's pretty much the perfect guy and I need a Boone for myself!!! I love him so much!

Ripley, she was awesome! I loved her attitude, fire and sass! She's probably one of my favorite heroines.

The chemistry between them is beyond hot and the sex scenes were scorching! I love love them together!

Once I started reading this, I could not put it down and was sad when it ended! I cannot wait for Real Sexy! This is definitely a must read and you will not be disappointed!!

“I want to hate him. Everything about him. He shouldn’t make me want to climb him like a mountain to plant a flag at the top saying RIPLEY WAS HERE. No way. No how.”


I absolutely love Meghan March’s duets and when I found out she was releasing another one, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Meghan March has such a talent when it comes to writing sexy alpha heroes; I instantly fall in love with the heroes she brings to life. I mean seriously, a hot country music singing bad boy, I was all over that. If anyone hasn’t checked out her Real and Dirty duets before, then I strenuously suggest you do.

Boone Thrasher has everything he could ever possibly want; a successful country music career and a woman he loves who he plans to spend the rest of his life with. Unfortunately things don’t always work out as planned and when you think everything is going peachy, something happens to disrupt the smooth sailing.

Boone is planning to propose to the woman that he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Only one problem… she has run off and doesn’t show up for the planned proposal. Feeling angry and humiliated (I guess anyone would feel like that after that happens), his friend takes him to a local bar (which is a dive) to drown his sorrows at the bottom of a bottle.

Ripley Fischer is the bartender and owner of the bar and has absolutely zero time or tolerance for celebrities. To her they’re all the same, self-entitled, rude and common decency doesn’t seem to ever extend towards them. Ripley was a great heroine and I completely adored her. I have a soft spot for sassy, fiery woman who can hold their own against the best of them and who have no problem mouthing off and Ripley was no exception.

Boone and Ripley’s first encounter wasn’t a pleasant experience for either of them and that’s putting it lightly. When you put together an angry, bad boy celebrity and a feisty celebrity hater, you know sparks are going to fly. Some of the best sexual chemistry and tension I have read has all started with characters despising each other. What is it about hatred that turns people on?

While this story was HOT and SEXY with hilarious witty banter, it was also quite EMOTIONAL! I’m not going to divulge any spoilers, but it was definitely emotional in some parts, especially when it came to Ripley’s character; I really felt for her.

I really enjoyed this story and I’m not surprised that I did, because I always appreciate Meghan March’s stellar writing and the characters she creates for us. Now… as we are all aware, Real Dirty is part of a duet, so yes this one does end in a cliffy, but Meghan March always releases them close together, so we never have to wait too long. I personally cannot wait to read number 2 Real Sexy, which is due for release on May 23rd.

I really enjoyed this read. I don't know why it has taken me so long to get back to Meghan March's work...I fell in love with it awhile ago, and took a break; then never came back until this one...I will be changing that immediately!

I fell in love with Country singer, Boone; who is our hero in this story. He may be rough around the edges, but he has a heart of gold...oh, and he is one HOT dude!! LOL
He ends up trying to come to Ripley's rescue, and help her out with her bar...it ends up more chaos than help, and he has the strong need to fix what he has broken..

These two have chemistry that is off the charts! I love them together and can't wait to see what is next for them in book #2! I am so glad that I picked up this "duet" and am already into the next installment! I just couldn't wait! If you are a romance reader, and haven't yet tried this author's work, then I highly recommend giving her a try. I swear you won't be disappointed!

The first word that comes to mind.......AMAZING!!!! The anticipation to read this book was too much that I couldn't put the book down once I started. The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts hot as hell, they were burning up the pages. Between the sexiness, swoonworthiness and sass, Boone and Ripley have just become my new favorite couple. You definitely won't want to pass up this read, then again why would you. Meghan definitely rocked my world with Real Dirty and she will definitely rock yours too! OMG, I am going to lose my mind waiting for the next book!!

3.5 Stars

Overall Opinion: This was a cute start to the duet. I was entertained, but I'm not going to be rushing to put it on my favorites shelf. I'm anxious to see it all play out and I hope that they get a good HEA ending, so on to the next!...

Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Ripley and Boone's story. Boone was just stood up to his own proposal to his girlfriend, and ends up hiding out in Ripley's bar. Ripley has a rule about being with celebrities in any capacity because of her Mom's bad experience with it, so she isn't interested in Boone or his friend that has hit on her before. There are some big secrets that come out and some more hiding out from paparazzi that throw the two together, and they eventually start a no-strings relationship. Once they get past the walls they've both erected, stronger feelings start to develop. We get some hot sexy times, some family and celebrity drama...and we're left with a cliffhanger ending.

POV: This alternated between Ripley and Boone's POV.

Overall Pace of Story: Good. I never skimmed, and I thought it flowed well.

Instalove: No. Instalust? Yes.

H rating: 4 stars. Boone. I like him. He is a sexy dirty talker, but he also is a mama's boy and has a great protective streak.

h rating: 4 stars. Ripley. I like her. She is a fighter, and she's has been dealt a crappy hand but doesn't turn bitter because of it.

Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed

Push/Pull: Yes

Heat level: Hot. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.

Descriptive sex: Yes

Safe sex: Yes

OW/OM drama: Mild

Sex scene with OW or OM: No

Cheating: Not between the mcs

Separation: No

Possible Triggers: Yes

Closure: This ends on a cliffy, so no closure yet...but the second book, Real Sexy, is already out.

How I got it: I got it on loan through my public library.

Safety: This one should be Safe for most safety gang readers

Wow!!!

Boone made me Swoon.

What an amazing read, full on Swoon fest went on here.
Meghan has the sexiest men I swear. Boone and Ripley will steal your heart in this one. She's a tough, stubborn, feisty independent female with tons of SASS and it's hard not to want to be her. She freaking rocks. I love her character so much. There's just something about a strong female. I may even have a girl crush on her. I just feel like I can see her and she feels real to me. That is what I love about Meghan's writing. It all feels so real.

Boone what can I say, he is sex on a stick, he's got way with words that's for sure. He's arrogant with a side of cocky, he's so sure of himself and everything around him but not so much so that it gets on your nerves, it's actually really hot. He's protective and how do I say this? Sweet when he wants to be. He's the definition of all man. His character is everything a sexy singer should be and then some.

I love the way this slowly burns, the anticipation of what's next when these to are in a room is like fire. They kept me BURNING from page to page.

"She's going to be as HOT as fire, and god help me, but I don't care if we both burn."

Their chemistry is off the charts. Their sex is hot hot hot.
Their flirtatious banter will have you giggling. Back to the SEX, it will have your body heating with the hottest of flames. I absolutely hands down love these characters more than any other of Meghan's.

Esteban I want him. lol he's a flipping riot, I can't even with him right now. Ha what a hoot.

You want this book and the next trust me. It's one of the best stories I've read this year. I couldn't stop turning the pages. I devoured it in one sitting. It left me burning for more. The perfect sexy romance.
Thank Meghan for another scrumptious story.

3* (not really) dirty STARS!

Another dirty series by Meghan March and I couldn't wait to meet Boone Thrasher. Who is he? Boone was Holly Wix's (from Dirty Billionaire) singing partner. They were paired together before Holly met Creighton Karas. Honestly, I couldn't connect with Boone at all since his first appearance and I hope this book will change my vision about him.

Boone Thrasher couldn't believe his girlfriend's disappearance when he's about to propose her. Suddenly she just married with someone else all over media. Angry and confused Boone and his friend went out to a bar. There's Ripley Fischer, a bartender also owner with sarcastic mouth and hate celebrity because they're always bring trouble. Her heart slowly melted with Boone's action to save her ass despite the celebrity's drama around them.

Ripley and Boone are the most hardest main characters in the entire Dirty series. Each of them has unforgivable flaws and totally unrealistic. Let's start with Ripley. She's no bad-ass, independent or whatsoever. She was trapped in the past of her dead mother and 'volunteer' to be a punching bag for her shitty father and bitch cousin. Ripley is such a masochist and stubborn AF. The only right thing about her is, she's the most unluckiest heroine I've ever met. Bottom line, Ripley frustrated me.

Boone is no better than Ripley. Just because he's a famous singer, it doesn't mean he's flawless. His first act towards Ripley totally asshole move. Totally major turn off and not impressive. You know, first impression is everything. He's also trapped with his anger towards the ex-GF. Ripley became his escape because he's in lust with her.
“You offering, sugar?”
“Don’t call me sugar just because you don’t remember my name.”
“I call you sugar because even though you’ve got that sharp tongue, I expect you’d be sweet as hell once I got you under me.”
“You practice your lines in the mirror, Thrasher?”
“Only the good ones, Ripley.”

The story was predictable. Damsel in distress slash Cinderella story. Ripley's life messed up since she met Boone. Despite everything Ripley hated for celebrity, she couldn't help to never wear panties around Boone. I couldn't help roll my eyes with their sex because the lack of chemistry. Of course, Boone has dirty mouth and super twister tongue or magical fingers to bring orgasm for her.
“Oh my God. Oh my God.”
“It’s Boone, sugar. No need to be taking this up with God. Don’t want to be struck down before I get to feel you squeeze my cock as you come.”

I know Meghan March's writing always incredible and addictive. I couldn't put this down also roll my eyes *again* with how unreal is their drama. Their story didn't interest me but I'm curious with Ripley's dead mother. I also found my interest with Esteban the parrot. He's more hilarious than both MCs. Overall, it's a decent read with celebrity drama.

Meghan March is a fairly new to me author, I know, where have I been!! I thoroughly enjoyed Real Dirty, which is book 1 in the Real Dirty Duet. I guess I should warn you, it does end with a little cliffy. Although, it is more like a “what the ????” moment.

Boone Thrasher is country music’s bad boy. He just has a very public, and quite embarrassing, break up with his fiancé. But Boone realizes his mistakes, and sets his sights on Ripley, owner of a local bar. But Ripley is feisty, and not interested in anything to do with a celebrity. Can Boone prove to Ripley that this isn’t just a rebound or a fling?

If you are able, you should definitely should listen to the audiobook, narrated by Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York, whose voice is just pure sex. I was hoping to hear Sebastian sing, but just when Boone Thrasher takes the mic, it’s fade to black!!! ARGH!!!!

4.5 'Sugar' Stars!

Meghan March writes one of the best alpha males out there, seriously!! Boone is stealing my heart with his sexiness and his persuit to get together with Ripley. Again, a great addition to her Dirty spin-offs and for me, even better start than the last duet!

Going straight to reading Real Sexy after that cliffy at the end!

5 Real Dirty Stars

Riley and Boone, I have to say I love how down to earth they both are.
Riley sees things as too good to be believed and Boone doesn’t really let stardom get to him.
I kinda love that she doesn’t give a hoot who he is, and she would rather he just leave her be than be in her life. But that kind of changes when feelings become involved.

I do like the end of this book, the feeling like they are just 2 regular people. Then the cliff-hanger.. I know it’s meant to be a duet but it just didn’t feel like the story was over just kind of feels like ½ a story.

I enjoyed the narration, because hello SebYo but I am going to say it, these two do a lot of books together and sometimes it’s hard to separate all the stories especially if you just finish listening to a book they are both narrating.

Guess that’s because they are so good. Either way on to the second half of this story.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

***AVAILABLE NOW - FULL REVIEW***

5 Sugar Crowns

Meghan March is another favorite writer of mine for three reasons: her heroes are the absolute perfect blend of dominance and care for their heroines, the women are sassy and independent, and the stories are always laced with intrigue or suspense, making her stories absolute must reads.

I feel like I say this after every Meghan March book but Boone Thrasher might just be my absolute favorite EVER! He has the perfect mix of dominant alpha and southern gentleman. He oozes charm and sex appeal, and no woman could resist his charm. I easily fell under his spell. What I love most though is how he stays true to his roots. He is the same man he was in the past, and what motivates him to find a woman only had me swooning hard for this man.

Ripley will also be sitting in my favorite heroine category. He determination and dedication to the Fishbowl, and her loyalty, even if not earned, to her family. Readers are going to love her desire to do it on her own, never looking for a handout. She also embraces new adventures and faces challenges head on, making her the perfect match for the beloved Mr. Thrasher.

The chemistry between these two is absolutely electric from the very beginning. She never lets him get away with anything, and he likes the challenge he gets from her. With her, he realizes everything that was so wrong before, and what he really wants begins to crystallize. Of course, Boone Thrasher knows how to get real dirty, and every time this two come together it is so good and so dirty!

Every Meghan March book has an element of suspense, and with Real Dirty, while focusing on the relationship of Boone and Ripley, readers are waiting for that shoe to drop. Readers know certain people in their past aren't going to just walk away, and then there is the history of the fishbowl to contend with. Of course this is only book one of the duet, so the shoe begins to drop at the end, leaving this reader dying to know how this story ends (for those of you that hate cliff hangers, I promise it isn't that bad).

Meghan March continues to deliver sexy, suspense filled romances that draw me in. Every single time! She is a drop everything and read author, and Real Dirty is an absolute must read! It is perfection, a Real Dirty and fun romance!

Real Dirty is book one in the Real Dirty Duet

Omg .....can't wait for Real Sexy, this ending of Real Dirty made me so excited, Meghan it’s your fault when there aren’t any fingernails left before I get Real Sexy in my fingers!

I need more of Boone and Ripley.

Boone a country music bad boy we know from the Dirty Billionaire series.....and Ripley, a woman with fire and sass, I loved her attitude. Amazing written story with lots of chemistry, this book caught me from the first page, but that’s nothing new, everybody who knows Meghan March’s books knew this one would be a page turner. I inhaled this book.


And yes this cover is HOT! I recommend this book to everyone who can manage a hot country Music star with a bad boy attitude, definitive a must read!

"It's Boone, sugar. No need t be taking this up with God. Don't want to be struck down before I get to fell you squeeze my cock as you come."

Hold up ladies! Alpha Southern Man and Ovary Explosion Alert!!!

Oh-em-gee!! You know what's so cool about reading Meghan March's books? It's always her writing style that is so easy to connect and engage with. When I started reading Real Dirty, words and lines just flowed effortlessly and deliciously I finished it in less than 3 hours! 3 hours man, and that was hours of delicious dreaming over Boone, a southern man so alpha and bossy with his equal stubborn, sassy non-wearing panties heroine. Say what? Yep! and who said commando is hot for men only? No damn way! Meghan March's heroine Ripley is damn sure equally hot with no panties on!

Honestly, I had so much fun reading this book. With my penchant for dirty talking alpha and stubborn heroines, this is what I needed. Spice up plenty of scorching scenes to add with their undeniable chemistry and I was dead. Panties off because I could not afford mine to melt. No wonder Rip is so hell bent with her no panties rules. Plus it's light hearted, no drama, just full of sexy and swoony moments plus hilarious scenes with Esteban the parrot I so wanted to adopt. It wasn't OTT and just pure fun of sexy times and hot scenes that were off the charts. I laughed, felt bothered and needed shower, gone mad but fell in love with the characters and the story. And this is what I love about Meghan March. Her characters are so easy to love and adore and the writing is always spot on. There's no need for you to over think. You'll go on with the flow and trust the author to take you on a ride you will enjoy. As I said, I finished it in 3 hours, that was real quick but the moments I had with my journey of them is still plastered all over my face and my system. Annd... of course, IT WAS REAL DIRTY!
so who am I to complain?I might have devoured all the dirty bits so it took me so hard to put the book down until the end. *wink

Now, I can't wait for the next book! I am so excited what's gonna happen next. With that ending that hindered my anticipation of some back door graces, I want Real Sexy stat!

4.5 stars

Meghan March’s Real/Dirty duets just keep getting better. I tore through Real Dirty and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Boone Thrasher is a larger-than-life country music superstar. He’s made brief appearances in previous books, but he always came across as a caricature to me. In this story, we get to know the real Boone—an honorable, down to earth man from humble beginnings. His dream of settling down with a wife and kids goes up in flames when he has his heart broken in a very public way.

Riley Fischer is a barmaid struggling to keep her family’s rundown bar afloat. The last thing she expects is for Boone to walk into her bar and tempt her to break her long-standing rule: don’t date celebrities.

I embraced Riley immediately. With her fierce independence and determination, she works herself into the ground and picks herself back up each day. I loved her “take no crap” attitude, yet her loyalty to her undeserving family reflects her kind heart and strength of character.

Riley throws stubborn sass Boone’s way and it really brings out the alpha him. These two are so fun together. They can’t keep their hands off each other, but there’s more to the story than just heat. A famous unsolved murder, family feuds, zealous paparazzi, Boone’s career, a wildly inappropriate parrot, and unwanted exes round out the story.

Meghan March once again delivers seductive entertainment in this winner. I’m looking forward to reading the conclusion of the Real Dirty duet, Real Sexy!
