 Review copy provided for an honest review 
 So, after all the warnings, I was mentally prepared for a dark, erotic, novel filled with drugs, sex and blood. I wasn't disappointed ... but ... I was surprised. Surprised that I would fall in love with Javier Bernal, rooting for a drug lord to win the woman. Surprised that I would cheer when Luisa came into her own and shot to kill. Surprised that the book had an HEA that actually left me with a smirk on my face and wondering what the hell Este was going to do now. 
 Yes, Javier stole my heart. He was a hard man. He was a dirty man. He was a hardened man running from his past by building a Drug Cartel to rival that of the biggest Drug Lord in Mexico, Salvadore Reyes. He never bargained for the innocent Luisa to get under his skin. No, he won't use the word love ever again but his hand is really getting boring and Luisa is drawing him in. One taste is all it took for him to crumble. 
 Luisa was a beauty queen. Born into a poor family ... a blind mother and a father who developed Alzheimer's, her dreams of going off to college were crushed. Making ends meet and making a life for her parents were now her goals in life. Until Salvador Reyes came along and promised her more than she could have ever hoped for. Until the wedding night .... until she was taken away and used, abused, passed around - the word "no" was not in Salvador Reyes' vocabulary. She had to find a way out and to get her parents to safety. There was nothing that Salvador Reyes wouldn't do - including killing her parents and her for the betrayal. 
 A kidnapping, a carving, an attempted rape, betrayal and, finally, a coming together of two like souls keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting to see how everything was going to resolve itself. How were her parents going to be safe? How was she going to withstand being away from Javier and deal with the abuse from Salvador again? How was Javier going to keep his Cartel together without killing Luisa as he said he would? 
 A strong book filled with amazing main characters and interesting supporting characters; a story line that has you breathlessly turning the pages to see what they will do next - which Javier will be there - which Luisa will show up. Is it dark? Yes. Is it erotic? Yes. Was there blood? Yes - with knife play that was very intriguing. It is not a book for the weak of heart or for people who may be squeamish about rough sex, torture or murder. Believe it or not, Dirty Angels was actually a love story that showed us that a King would do whatever it took to bring his Queen to the throne.
