I loved Getting Dirty! I was intrigued before I rested my little eyes on a single page, solely because of the mystery behind this author. My little ears perked right up, wondering what the deal is with this book, who is Mia Storm, so on and so forth. Then I started worrying… what if I didn’t like it? What if it didn’t live up to the hype? What if what if what if… No, no more what ifs. I freaking loved it.
The main thing I need to get across, if nothing else – this book is hot, hot, hot! It’s sexy. It’s one of those that you’ll need your husband or significant other nearby while reading, because…yeah. But even with that, it’s not about sex at all. The author weaves this tale that does get hot and heavy, but can hold it’s own without it just as well.
The characters are so interesting. Each on their own make for fun, unique characters, but together? They’re explosive. Their connection, the angst, and the situations they’re placed in. All of it. I also really liked that with the dual point of view, you knew they were longing for one another and that never wavered. Even when others pop into the story, you just KNOW….it’s about each other, always. I loved Caiden but I might have a girl crush on Blaire. She’s a badass and not afraid to speak her mind or go after what she wants. I think we could all take a bit of a lesson from her at one point or another in our lives.

The story is exciting and a nail biter, but was nothing like what I expected. There’s so much that goes on in this book, yet it flows so well. I would say everything that happens is just the natural progression of how this story should unfold but…well… you’ll see. It’s frustrating, heartbreaking, and almost infuriating because you’ll hate the situation the two main characters are placed in. You’ll feel for them. Under all of it though, it’s a romance novel through and through.
I loved that the author managed to cover a couple different topics that some might be a little leery of, but she handles it in a manner that feels right. Rape, etc isn’t something to play around with and a lot of people won’t even touch a book if they know it covers that. Getting Dirty does, and although I do wish the end result of that was covered differently, it still flows within the story and isn’t so scary.
Overall, I don’t expect to stop raving about this roller coaster of a tale anytime soon. It’s exhilarating, yet has no shortage of the romance that makes us all swoon. You’ll be rooting from these characters from the get go, even when everything and everyone says you shouldn’t. I love love loved Getting Dirty and can’t wait for any future releases by Mia Storm.
