Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 You know how some television shows the whole cast is so great that it is a true ensemble that without them all the show wouldn't be the same? That in a nutshell is the Dive Bar series by Kylie Scott. I loved the Stage Dive series but there were characters that stood out, that made that series for me and the rest just kind of hung around in the background. In Dirty we meet the whole crew of the Dive Bar series and this is one crazy, mixed-up group of family and friends that are going to keep readers entertained and engaged for some time and they'll do it in style and maybe with a fist fight or two and no doubt something being broken. This is a passionate group of people, they live their lives hard, and they love fiercely but they also fight the same way and Dirty set up this series nicely, but Dirty is also a love story, one that was unexpected for the two people involved, one that almost didn't happen, one you could say fate had a hand in and one that was raw, raunchy but also sweet and endearing. 
 When Vaughan finds a dripping wet Lydia sitting in his bathtub in a torn and mangled wedding dress he isn't sure what to expect and Lydia is sure she's going to jail for the first time that day. What ensues is a pretty epic friendship that turns quickly in to more, but wait there's more. There's Vaughan's sister, her ex-husband, their business partner, his brother and a family friend who all in some way connected to the Dive Bar and each other. I loved so much about this book I don't even know where to start. I loved that these two met at a really crazy time in each of their lives. They immediately were connected some would say by tits and dicks, but really it was more than that. They were kindred spirits both kind of floating around trying to find a place to belong. I loved watching Lydia accept every part of herself, watching her realize what it felt like to have good friends, and watching her figure out her happiness was on her and not on anyone else. Vaughan was a little more difficult; he wanted fame as a musician he was close but it fizzled and while he loves music he isn't happy, but he can't figure out what it will take to make him happy. He really is a confused individual who never really dealt with the hard knocks life dealt him. Together they soothed each other and yes, okay they had hot, hard, raunchy sexy but it was more than that; it just took them both a little while to realize that. 
 At times I felt like I was watching an episode of the Jerry Springer show but that is the charm of this book; these people are a bit crazy but deep down they also love one another and their emotions get the best of them. But guys, they FEEL and they LIVE and they LOVE and at the end of the day they are there for one another. I LOVED this book immensely and I won't lie a visit from Stage Dive's Mal was unexpected and perfectly timed, but even without that this book is flat out fantastic. 
 Crazy, funny, sexy, passionate, emotional and just plain wonderful Dirty is the best way to start a new series and it is absolutely one you do not want to miss.
