Publisher's summary

Lily

He’s rough. He’s ready. I’m neither.

I’m a sacrificial lamb just waiting to be slaughtered.

A socialite spawned by a sadist whose life’s work is to cause misery in others.

My life is a prison cell, until he helps me find the key.

He’s not as dark or as dirty as they say he is.

His roughness stirs something in me.

Something primal. Something no socialite should crave.

He’s a brother in an MC, a world that should be alien to me but somehow, it’s my first real home. It has rules and regulations that make no sense to me, but one thing is clear: society princesses and MC brothers aren’t a match made in heaven.

But I’m fine with ruling over hell instead…

Link is the second book in the eleven-book A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC series.

Wrong side

Link and Lily shouldn’t work. He is from the wrong side of the tracks if you will. Yet this rough and ready biker shows his gentle side. He pieces back together this damaged girl so she can stand tall. Teddy and Rose truly brought this amazing story to life.

Loving the Series

I started listening to Book 1 while waiting on another to release and I’m glad I did. I feel like the voice has been off a couple of times, throwing me off on who’s talking. But not enough to keep me from listening. The voices are good and the storyline is better. Headed on to the next one!

Entwined

These book are so entwined with each other. Another interesting thing is there are many points of view in this author’s story. You definitely need to pay attention.

Way better than Nyx

The characters are much more likable (to me at least) than the previous book. The overarching story is very interesting and I’m looking forward to continuing the journey. I like how this author sprinkles in chapters with other character POVs besides the main two. It’s just enough for us to get to know the other characters without it taking away from the main two. Link was such a great MMC. Seems like he’s the only man in this MC who knows how to properly woo a woman. And it’s not even that hard…he just gets to know her, treats her with respect, and shows her affection. This was a welcome reprieve from Nyx getting his dick sucked in public in an attempt to make Gulia jealous 🙄. I’m sure there’s more idiot bikers to come but I can’t wait to see where the story takes us.

Lily and Link

Narrators were awesome. Plot was engaging. But I do feel that the ending was rushed. Link and Lily story needed more closure. Then there was the introduction of the next 5 points book that sort of came out of nowhere.

Interesting characters and fantastic narration!

Interesting characters and a twisty underlying story make this book a 5 star read for me. Fantastic narration make it even better!

the plots thicken..

Sixth in The Five Points‘ universe. Great world building and suggested reading order is definitely recommended shouldn‘t be ignored. It‘s a very intertwined story arc. I love this world! The narration is top notch. Mind the TW's there are MANY.

Not what I was expecting

This is NOT a dark and dirty romance. This book is somewhere around PG-13 if you like dark romance. This also didn’t feel like Link and Lillie’s story. It was just an MC story. The first book had narrative from supporting characters, but it was still mostly focused on the main characters. This one had input from a lot of people talking about things that had nothing to do with the main characters. Not only that, these little snippets popped up at random times and interrupted the main story. I haven’t listened to the next story yet, but it seemed like this book was written to set up the next book and maybe continue the last one. It just didn’t feel like its own story. The ending is very abrupt. Again, probably setting up the next book, but just know it just ends suddenly. Of course Teddy Hamilton was excellent as always. The female narrator was good voicing the female, but her male voice was not so great.
Overall, I did like Link and Lillie, and I also enjoyed the first book. I am planning to continue with this series hoping it goes in a direction more like the first one.

Really enjoying the series so far

I really enjoyed this one. I like how so far the 2 heroines in this series are strong. I also like how we get little glimpses into other character's lives it serves as teasers for future books.

I Love Link and Lily

5/5 ⭐
2/5 🌶️
4/5 🎧

Link and Lily are two of my favorite characters in this universe. The opposites attract was super heavy here with socialite/MC and virgin/definitely not a virgin tropes and yet somehow they had some amazing chemistry that really carried this story beautifully.

Link is where this series starts to get dark... We find Luke's women battered and bruised, inside and out... We find out Lily's past is far from sunshine and rainbows and we get deeper into what the ultimate plot of this series is. Serena does such an amazing job writing the darkness and I can't get enough.

The audio was fantastic. Teddy Hamilton is, well, Teddy Hamilton and a god amongst men in the narrating world. I hadn't listened to Rose Dioro before but I really loved her female narration.

Sin and Tiffany are up next and I can't wait to get started.
