Title: Dirty Rowdy ThingAuthor: Christina Lauren
Series: Wild Seasons #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: November 4th 2014
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, and Beautiful Player, Book Two of the brand-new Wild Seasons series that started with Sweet Filthy Boy—a story of friends, love, and lust.
Despite their rowdy hookups, Harlow and Finn don’t even like each other...which would explain why their marriage lasted only twelve hours. He needs to be in charge and takes whatever he wants. She lives by the Want-something-done? Do-it-yourself mantra. Maybe she’s too similar to the rugged fisherman—or just what he needs.

Dirty Rowdy Thing is a great follow up book to the first book in the Wild Seasons series. Harlow and Finn were fun characters that I liked in Sweet Filthy Boy and I was glad to see them get a second (or third) chance of being together! They are both independent, strong-willed characters that clashed at times, but when they were together… Boy, were they hawt!!
Harlow is comfortable with her life, she keeps her family and friends close, and is content with her current work arrangement. She likes to control most aspects of her life, but soon realises she can’t fix everything. She seeks a distraction and finds that in Finn, as she knows that they have amazing chemistry.
Finn came to San Francisco for the grand opening of his friend, Oliver’s comic book store, but while in town he had business and can’t help pushing Harlow’s buttons! They constantly bicker with one another, and the sexual tension between them builds! And oh boy, when Finn takes over in the bedroom… *fans self* He is one yummy fisherman!
I enjoyed Harlow and Finn’s story. They have more in common than either of them realise. Finn slowly let down some of his walls and told Harlow some of his issues, but Harlow found it extremely difficult to let Finn in. I enjoyed how their relationship became stronger over time, and not just about the sex, but there were other issues they needed to be more forthcoming with. In the end, I loved how it all wrapped up; even though part of the storyline was heartbreaking, it was also a scorching and intense read! I am keen for more in this series!!
I still have book one on my list. man alive I feel like I say that all the time no matter how much I read. LOL So is it the same 2 over multiple books then?
ReplyDeleteDifferent characters for each book, I really like this series. Keen for the next one, I tell ya!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know what you mean, I have heaps I need to read!
I love reading about two strong heading characters who meet their counterparts that help them break down there walls!
ReplyDeleteLovely review!
Love me some strong characters that soften each other just enough to be able to come together. This sounds like a nice romance. Love your review!
ReplyDeleteI bought Sweet Filthy Boy after reading your review earlier...
ReplyDeleteYou're a bad book influence on me! Lolz
I'm getting back into romance novels again. I used to like on historical romances but I've been branching out.
I'm going to have to read this series but I have to finish the Beautiful series first. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed Finn & Harlow's story so much, Naomi. I like the sound of how their romance/relationship developed slowly. Fab review, girl!
ReplyDeleteFreaking hell! I need to read these and the Beautiful series. I wish I could read faster. Or become a hermit and read all day and night.
ReplyDeleteWhy have I not read anything from this author??? I must be nuts. These books sound really good. Thanks for your fabulous review. :-)
ReplyDelete*Snikers* Yep, love those mind blowing scenes! These two were great together!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! They were fun to read about... very strong willed!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice romance, both characters were unsure if they would be able to find love, glad they did!
ReplyDelete*Snickers* I am with you, i am sick of my kids and hubby interrupting my reading time!! lol
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to read this series soon. I've heard such good things but wasn't sure whether to add it or not. Thanks for clearing that up! Adding to my want pile now! Great review!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Beautiful bastard that much, but I've been reading so many great reviews lately that I think I will give this one a chance :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great series! I love the characters and the banter between them!
ReplyDeleteI would try the first book girl, but this series is different from the BB series.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats two strong-willed characters coming together in the end because you know that neither one settled which makes it easy to buy into their romance. The mind blowing sex scenes don't exactly hurt either!
ReplyDeleteCarmel @ Rabid Reads
Bwahahaha!! Sorry about that *wink*
ReplyDeleteI branched out from reading just Paranormal, and I enjoy it all now! Sometimes change is good!
I need to continue the Beautiful series as well, I have Beautiful Player and the next novella to go. This series is fun though!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I really love this writing duo! They always get me hooked in and have plenty of naughty scenes to share!
