Célian Laurent.
Manhattan royalty.
Notorious playboy.
Heir to a media empire.
…And my new boss.
I could have impressed him, if not for last month’s unforgettable one-night stand.
I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory—namely, his wallet.
Now he’s staring me down like I’m the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I’m supposed to take it.
But the thing about being Judith “Jude” Humphry is I have nothing to lose.
Brooklyn girl.
Infamously quirky.
Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.
When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.
He knows it.
So do I.
Every day in the newsroom is a battle.
Every night in his bed, war.
But it’s my heart at stake, and I fear I’ll be raising the white flag.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Very entertaining Dirty Headlines, felt like I was watching television dramedy.
While Dirty Headlines was an enjoyable story, at times I felt like the story was in big cliche surrounded by a ton of sex. I swear if the couple wasn’t going at it like rabbits, one of them was thinking about what they wanted to do to the other. Consequences be damned.
Other than all of the sex I enjoyed the story, while Célian was a jerk hero and pretty douchey at times, he still managed to get me to fall in love with him a little bit, which is quite the accomplishment, because if you’ve followed my reviews you know that I’m not too keen on alpha-holes.
I had a nice little laugh at myself because I made a note in the book asking if someone can really be this emotionally stunted in reference to Célian and then the next page, Jude, our heroine said the exact same thing about him. Jude is an interesting character, and honestly, she is quite human. She was a strong and independent woman on the outside, but so weak when it came to Célian. If frustrated and irritated me, but then I realized because that is such a normal person thing to deal with, we all portray one thing on the outside that we aren’t really feeling on the inside.
Other than a few inconsistencies, that kind of bothered me Dirty Headlines was an engaging read. If you love office romances, dirty, kinky sex, and emotionally inept billionaires, this is the story for you!
