Great series, please read in order!
I really enjoyed the entire series, and amazingly for me, I read them in order and am so glad I did. There is so much to be gained about all the characters and all the intermingled plots by reading in order. I was driven after Book 1 to read them all because I really wanted to read Zane’s story. In the end, although I liked it, it was not my favorite. But his story was excellent although I found Maggie’s to be a little weak; still all in all enjoyable. The cover art still sucks, in my opinion.Now, I’m on to Players although Ash is not my favorite at this time. Who knows?

Steamy and intense
I loved the characters. Story line kept me coming back for more. Read it in 24 hours (off and on)

Good Book About Kicking Addictions
You definitely should at least read “Dirty Like Us,” the relevant short story in “Dirty Wedding Night” and the epilogue of “Dirty Like Jude” before you read this book. Essentially, those are more like the first several chapters of this book than they are separate books.This book surprised me. I read the entire rest of the series before it and it still surprised me. This was more than the normal romance or smut novel. This was a really good book about a man who was kicking all of addictions that he had used for years as crutches to stay sober from alcohol. It went really deeply into his sobriety journey in a way that was refreshing and new for a romance or smut novel. Don’t get me wrong. There is plenty of smut. But the addiction story arc was so good that I found myself skipping the smut parts to get back to the sobriety and main relationship story arcs in the book.

cried over this sweet couple
I cried so many times, so many happy tears. I loved this book so so much. Easily my favorite book of all time the dirty series. The story is so sweet and the addiction was so emotional

Best Romance Book! Characters Seem Real & You Will be rooting for them!
Loved this book about a couple deeply in love but needing to work through their dysfunctional relationship. The characters’ 1st person narrative offers insight into their feelings and heartache. Zane is a romantic rock star full of human flaws but a big heart. Maggie is a strong, independent woman learning to trust love. Set against the backdrop of a rock band makes for some great content. Make sure you read Dirty Like Us as an important prequel.Definitely my favorite Jane Diamond book. Bought the book and audio since I’ve already read it twice! Warning: Adult hot sex scenes included.

I want more!
The build up for this story was amazing! The angst and the fear of love made me heart ache. Beautifully written. FMC is my favorite of the series. And who cannot love Zane. I want more of their happy ending that they finally got too.

Worth Reading
This was definitely a book worth reading. Especially if you've read the rest of the series. Maggie and Zane have been secretly married for almost two years. It wasn't supposed to be real and they found out the next day it was legal. Zane wouldn't give Maggie a divorce since he loved her and it's was a rocky road after that. Maggie wouldn't try to make it work even though she loved him and finally, while on tour, they worked things out. Zane had the biggest part in that I think since he admitted that he was struggling with wanting to drink and he decided to stop smoking weed as well. He did what he need to you to make sure he stayed sober. Most of Maggie's fears were reasonable, especially since he had been a he-whore in the past. Women, women and more women throughout the years and she saw it all throughout the years she's known him. But love conquers all and they got their HEA. A little about the books in the series:Dirty Like Me (Jesse and Katie) - The best book of the series in my opinion. Katie was somehow roped into being Jesse's girlfriend in a music video. There was chemistry between them in the video and it was so popular that he offered to pay her to go on tour with him and pretend to be his girlfriend for the six week tour. Lots of drinking in this series so don't read if that bugs you.Dirty Like Brody (Brody and Jessa) - I'm conflicted about this one. Brody was a jerk in my opinion for so much of the book. Yes she broke his heart when they were younger but to be fair, she was a few years younger that him and they never even slept together so get over it already. He had this grudge for all those years and never even stopped to think that she was young, immature and maybe she was dealing with a lot that had nothing to do with him? One of the biggest reasons that I didn't like Brody was the way he treated Seth. The way they ALL treated Seth really. He was supposed to have been family but they cut him loose when he needed a support system and never looked back. Imagine coming out of rehab and you have no one. Some "family".Dirty Like Seth (Seth and Elle) - I really like this book. I was conflicted about whether I was going to read it because of the way that they treated Seth in the last book but I read it because I wanted to read his HEA. Elle always felt a little guilty about how things ended with Seth and Dirty years before so she took Seth with her to Hawaii once Seth got turned down after his audition with Dirty. I really don't understand why everyone was so angry with him and blamed him so much for the past. He was a drug addict (now sober for over four years) and he was thrown out of the band because they knew the publicity of having an addict in the band would be bad for them. God forbid they get him into rehab and support him. They just cut him loose and never looked back. Elle really got to know Seth and realized that he is such a good man. She fell in love with him and went to bat for him and there was also something that no one really know (except Jude) that shed light on a few things from years ago. Something that showed them what a good man he was even though he was struggling with his addiction back then. He was accepted back into the band and Elle and Seth got their HEA. Brody and Jesse were unnecessarily angry with him in my opinions and Seth deserved better. Worth reading.Dirty Like Dylan - (Dylan and Amber) - So this was my least favorite book. It's kind of a love triangle although not really? It's about Dylan (member of Dirty), Ash (best friend of Dylan) and Amber. Dylan and Ash have been friends for a few years (six I think). They partied together, were with women together and were just each other's chosen brothers. For the last couple years they were pretty much always sharing a woman every time they hooked up with one. When they met Amber, Ash knew right away that she was Dylan's type and tried to keep him away from Dylan. That didn't work out so well when Dylan had Amber sent to his place to stay while she was in Vancouver. She was led to believe that she would be staying in an empty house and was shocked when Ash showed up and said it was his house. Ash was pissed because Dylan hadn't told him that Amber would be there. So Dylan's idea was to bring Amber there for Ash since he had been kind of depressed. So it was Dylan's plan to actually have Amber have sex (she didn't know any of this) with Ash to get him out of his funk and then they would share her (pretty messed up in my opinion). They were so used to having women fall all over them that Dylan just thought it was a given that Amber would just go for it. So she did end up having sex with Ash first and then they all agreed to have a three way sexual relationship and be exclusive to each other. It started as just sex but you could just see Dylan and Amber falling for each other and Ash falling for Amber as well. Ash had always been in love with Dylan (Ash was bi-sexual and Dylan was not) and was falling for Amber as well. So basically Amber and Dylan fell in love with each other and Ash was left with a double broken heart since he was in love with both of them. That was had enough but something he could eventually move on from but the worst part for me was that Dylan and Ash were best friends. Family and Dylan didn't fight for that friendship. He just let Ash walk away. A few token phone calls and that was it. I felt like when it came down to it, Ash really wasn't that important or Dylan would have made his friendship with Ash a priority to keep intact. Dylan was just blah and Ash had more of a connection with Amber but Dylan had the HEA and Ash was beyond crushed. I'll read Ash's story in the Player's series and I might be done with this author. I love her writing and the stories but the way Seth and then Ash were treated was just awful.Dirty Like Jude (Jude and Roni) - Jude is head of security for Dirty and also has ties to a MC that his brother is in. He's three years older than Roni and they also knew each other since she was a teenager. They liked each other back then but things happened and male pride, miscommunication and her promiscuity (she never cheated when she had a boyfriend though) were issues. Years later and they still yearn for each other. It takes a lot for them to actually start communicating and end up together but it happens eventually. The only issue I have with this is that she slept with so many guys. I have no problem with that as long as there is discretion but there never was with her. She was even having a three way once with the door open in an MC clubhouse room. And Jude witnessed it when he was looking in the room for someone. Imaging having that image burned in your brain. She never cheated when she had a boyfriend though. They ended up with their HEA.Dirty Like Zane (review above)

Sad That This was the End
There is only one other Rock star series that I liked more than Jaine Diamond's Dirty Series...and the only thing that would have made this series any better was an actual band that recorded To Hell And Back, Blackout , and the song Zane wrote for Maggie. I was hoping for lyrics , i was hoping for a Spotify link because this series truly made you feel like you were in the studio , on tour , and living the rock star dream.The only other thing lacking was an award show and red carpet . I was so into this band by the end I was looking for newer bands that might fill the shoes of these men and Elle .Back in the day Bret Michaels had the Rock of Love tour and if maybe you mixed Machine Gun Kelly /Bret and Justin Bieber's sex appeal you would get Zane Traynor . This was a hard book to read ; if you were married to an addict the fights that Zane and Maggie had were palpable. They were triggering.. and I felt everything. Zane did his best .. he did it for her and I get why Maggie was scared but outside looking back at what I went through her throwing fits every chapter and running away and not letting the very supportive loving rock family in was a big mistake. Im glad it worked out in the end with an HEA but in real life it rarely happens that way. I liked Zanes character, he was full of life and love with a huge heart . A spin off series with the kids of this band would be awesome, and i would love to go back on the roqd with Dirty again.

wow what a book
By far my favourite book of the series, I like each book but this once was a great way to finish off all the stories and bring them back together. I’m glad the front man of the band was the story to read.
