Publisher's summary

A twist of fate threw us together....

Gypsy: I’m a Devil King; loyal to no one but my club, until she comes along and tests everything I thought I believed in.

When I do a favor for my imprisoned ex-president’s ol’ lady, I come face to face with the one-night stand that’s haunted me for three years. She pulled a disappearing Cinderella act on me, vanishing with the dawn. I searched high and low for her, and now that I’ve found her - she’s the definition of off-limits. She’s an MC princess - my MC’s princess. And even if her father no longer runs things, she’s still forbidden with a capital F.

Tell that to my traitorous body that reacts every damn time she gets within sight of me.

They say no good deed goes unpunished, and I’m learning this golden haired beauty could be the death of me.

Though our chemistry blazes, every second I spend with her risks the brotherhood we’ve just repaired.

Tess: I’ve never wanted anything to do with my father’s filthy MC, The Devil Kings. With daddy dearest in prison, my mother is falling apart. Her struggle with anxiety, drugs and money problems drag me back from the independence I crave. She needs my help and my father holds the key - literally.

But when he insists I get him information on the Devil Kings in exchange, I’m thrust into a world I want no part of. My father may be their ex-president, but I’m still considered an MC princess.

When my mother pulls in a favor and arranges an escort for me down to the prison, he walks in - a patched member of the Devil Kings MC - and a memory from a one-night stand we had three years ago.

But there’s a reason I ditched him the next morning; I want nothing to do with men like my father. Gypsy is everything I need to steer clear of - he’s an outlaw, a Devil King, dangerously sexy, and loyal to his club.

As my mother’s world falls apart, my choice becomes clear.

But how do I choose between saving her and betraying the man I love?

it was ok

The FL was stupid af...she made soooo many dumb decisions 🙄. I ending up fast-forwarding through some of her chapters. Dumb as a box of Rocks. Overall it was a decent story.

A satisfying conclusion

My top thoughts:

Even though Gypsy and Tess aren't my favorite Devil Kings couple, I really enjoyed their story. I feel like this was a good conclusion to the series, as everything with the Devil Kings MC change in leadership feels really resolved as well.

What I liked/didn't like:

I liked Tess a lot - she is a strong character and I had real sympathy with her situation with her parents. Her father was the old Devil Kings Prez and, as we know from previous books, he is no good and is now in prison. Her mom isn't much better - but here's a bit I didn't love. Her mom is on drugs and booze - in large part because she's so messed up from Tess's dad. But Tess is in the situation she's in - trying to negotiate with her dad so she can get money for her mom - because her mom "can't" work due to her anxiety. I'm sorry, but Tess is making excuses for her mom and, while her dad definitely owes them, Tess shouldn't be trying to bail her mom out like this. So the WHOLE premise is based on something I find problematic. That being said, it's a romance and so we're in a world where things get wrapped up in neat bows even if they normally wouldn't, so I can give it some grace.

Gypsy is fine, pretty standard protective, rock-your-world in the sack, sexy, sometimes brutal MC hero. There was nothing too unexpected about him that made him special. But he and Tess do have some great chemistry that ignites pretty much immediately, so get ready for that.

Tess's best friend, Haley stole the show for me. She's an AMAZING best friend, someone Tess could really count on. And beyond just the support, she seemed to be part of some of the funniest parts of the book. The cemetery scene, which was a little tense was mostly funny thanks to Haley.

Narrator thoughts:

The narration was really great, as it has been for the entire series. Virginia Rose narrates the female characters and Ryan West narrates the male characters. This my favorite kind of dual narration, because you get one set of voices for each character and it feels like an almost theatrical performance. They play off each other really well and really add to the enjoyment of Dirty Desires.

Great MC Series!

This is the third book in the Devils Kings MC Series. This is definitely one of my favorite MC Series! Gypsy and Tess's story is entertaining, fast-paced, and captivating, filled with secrets, danger, and intrigue. Tess is strong, smart, and determined. Gypsy is alpha, handsome, and protective. The supporting characters are amazing. Virginia Rose and Ryan West did a fantastic job with this duet narration! They really are perfect as Tess, and Gypsy. Their acting is flawless, and the audio quality is amazingly impeccable. I need more!! I HIGHLY recommend this Series. If you like MC Romance, you don't want to miss it! #CaffeinatedPR #TheAudioFlow

Loving the Devil Kings!!!

Gypsy and Tess are my new favorite couple. This story is different than the past stories, but I enjoyed every second. I discounted performance because all the males voices sounded the same to me. The couple first met years ago ... and Tess found out he is in an MC something that causes her to run. Fast forward years later and they are thrown together again. The spark and attraction has not waned, but getting the MC to accept the daughter of the former treacherous president. LOVED the entire story.So credit worthy.

I love these guys!!!

It seems that with each book, I fall for the new guy more than the last! I didn't think it was possible, but... I fell for Reno... then Rusty was awesome..... and now Gypsy was spectacular!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you so much Nicole James! And What great narration by Virginia Rose and Ryan West! Oh and I think that I've found the most perfect MC narrator ever in Ryan West!!!!😜😜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you so much!!!!

Dirty Desires

At the end of Dirty Deals information came to light about Gypsy, which piqued my curiosity and so I jumped at the chance to listen to Dirty Desires. 

Dirty Desires is the third book in the Devil Kings MC series and tells the story of Gypsy and Tess. Tess is the daughter of the MC Devil's ex-president, which made her off limits to members of the club when it came romantic relationships. Well, that wouldn't be too hard to accomplish as Tess wanted nothing to do with the MC Devils. The less she has to do with them the better.  So when she discovered that the hot guy with whom she spent a passionate night was a member of the Devil Kings she hightailed it out of his place and never looked back. However as fate would have it, three years later their paths would cross again.

Gypsy had no clue as to Tess's true identity. One thing he was sure of was the passionate connection they shared on the night they first met. He never stopped thinking about her not knowing if he will see her again. When the wife of his former president asked him for a favor. he didn't hesitate as he owed her. Little did he know that the granting of the favor involved the woman he connected with three years ago, the daughter of his former president. 

Top Five Reasons to Listen to Dirty Desires

Humorous Storyline: Despite the serious of the situation and the danger involved, the story had me cracking up. The cemetery scene  was the funniest of all.

Characters: Tess and her BFF Haley together were a riot. Haley was a true ride or die friend, who always have Tess's back even in dangerous situations. She doesn't hold back with telling the truth even if it hurts. Tess showed that she was not afraid to take responsibility for her actions and to would go the extra mile to make amends for any acts of betrayal she may have caused.

Writing Style: The writing was solid and engaging. James made it easy to visualize each scene making me feel a part of the story. 

Romance: If you love your romance with lots of steam then you are in the right place. The steam Tess and Gypsy oozed when they were together will require the reader to have a cooling device nearby.  Be warned it does not fall in the slow burn category.

Narration: Narrators Virginia Rose and Ryan West continues to narrate the series. It was a pleasure listening to them both. I enjoyed the duet narration style used throughout the series. They were both good matches for the tone and the pacing of the story. 
Conclusion/Recommendation

Convinced by my top five reasons to listen to Dirty Desires? Then grab your earbuds and immerse yourself in the world of the Devil Kings MC.

Love Gypsy & Tess!

Tess & Gypsy. What a couple! I think what had me intrigued is their chemistry before they even realized who they were to each other. Meeting on Tess's 21st birthday at a bar, the two had an instant connection. But when Tess realized Gypsy was part of the Dark Knights, she fled and didn't look back. Now 3 years later, with her mother in financial trouble and her father in jail, the two intersect again. But this time, it is not so easy to step away. Danger, conniving, deception, addiction, passion , you name it, Nicole James packs this story with it all. Gypsy is the ultimate alpha, and I love his over protective nature. Wiling to take on the club to be with his woman, he is loyal to a fault. Tess is stubborn and determined, and definitely the daughter of a Dark Knight. She will stop at nothing to get what she needs to help her mother and I love that about her. These two together make an incredible couple. Despite their differences, their love and passion for each other is the glue that keeps them coming back for more, and it's addicting to listen to. I love this series, and can't wait to see where Nicole James takes us next with Hayley's story!

You can't pick a better narration team than Ryan West and Virginia Rose for this series. West has that growlie, alpha tone to his voice that worms itself directly into my heart. Rose fits the strong willed determination for Tess and always delivers a performance I love. Their duet style showcases their complimenting voices and makes the listen a delight to hear.

A SECOND-CHANCE THAT WAS OVER WAT TOO SOON

Tess and Gypsy’s doomed second-chance was built on a lie.. a lie that would betrayal and wound but, when your life’s rock and hard-placing it and your shit out of options, there’s no other choice.. Tess has to betray the Devil Kings.. and the man she loves. With a manipulative, absentee, lowlife Father in prison holding the money card over your head, with a suicidal, out of control Mom to support and take care of and with overdue bills but no money to make them go away, Tess sees only one choice. But can she somehow make it right, is she strong and brave enough to outwit her Father and go against his dangerous allies to find his truths and weaknesses, can she save the DK’s MC.. and most importantly, can she win back Gypsy’s trust and love afterwards and ride off into the sunset together?

Worth a credit? Yes, this is an entertaining listen.. with its chemistry, conflicts of the head vs heart, angst, drama, sex and passion and it does end on a sweet Epilogue. And the getting there was another one of Nicole James’ very addictive listens.. where hot, possessive, alpha bikers meet the strong women who fire-up their senses and change their lives.. but hopefully not too much aye 😉. The rich duet-style dual POV narration by Ryan and Virginia was great too and they absolutely turned a great book into an awesome listen. ❤️💛❤️

it was ok

Maybe I just had high expectations after reading 1st books in series. Dont feel like credit was wasted but wont be one of my go to's.
