Dirty (Raw Family) Paperback – November 27, 2016

Great book cant wait to read the next one! Great story and little gruesome but not too bad! Love it

This book has been a long-time coming. The wait at times unbearable. But now we have it. And what a wild, crazy, non-stop ride it was. Dirty by Belle Aurora was worth the wait.First, I know we all want to know about Twitch and what happens now. And we do get some of that, but this is Julius’s book. Not to worry, we get Twitch, but not the way I am sure so many want and need. But it’s coming! And still, this was an amazing story.We meet Alejandra Castillo, Ana, at 18, young, beautiful and innocent. Because of who her father is and family obligations, she is thrown into a situation outside her control. Years later, by all appearances, there is no luckier woman than her. But appearances can be deceiving.Julius Carter, Twitch’s best friend and partner, moved forward with his life after the end of Raw. Ling and him are now working together and are very successful. Julius lives for his family and takes his responsibilities seriously. But one look at Alejandra and he is mesmerized. But he also has a job to do.A decision was made; lives are forever changed and now Alejandra is running. She knows her life is forfeit, but is determined to make a run for it. Now everyone is determined to find her, but at what cost? Alejandra only knows this was her only one and only chance at escaping.Alejandra and Julius’s journey is not in any way easy, but would you expect any less in a story from the Raw family of books? No. Enemies are found everywhere and dangers follow them constantly. How will they survive? Can they survive? Then throw in updates from Twitch and Ling and all her craziness and you have the story you have been waiting for!There are so many twists and turns while reading Dirty. Some you get upfront, but others unfold as you read. I could not put this book down. I had to know what happens next. The story flows well and will keep you captivated from start to finish. You will not be disappointed.And the epilogues. All of them. Wow! I am sure we will all be counting down to book 3. I know I will.Dirty by Belle Aurora was an amazing 5-star read.Happy reading!

FINALLY !!!!, almost 3 years,that is too darn long of a wait for your readers Ms.Aurora, I'm also still waiting on your sequel read from over a year and a half ago" About Last Night".Please don't misunderstood your writing skills are always worth my reading time and my money but your sequel book releases are horribly lacking !!!!!! I just can't imagine reading "Rebirth " in what 2019 ???,come on please let's stop with the nearly 3 year later books,it's annoying and takes away from the interest of your books for me.Now Dirty was more of a 3.75 book ,I rounded up to 4 stars because you write very well but this was no "Raw" and when you wrote in your acknowledgement portion that you took so long because you wanted to give the fans your best I had to think ,3 years of waiting for just a decent good read, ughhh, no this book was not strong enough to be waiting 3 years for I'm sorry to say. I will say I loved your writing for Twitch throughout the read ,that was so well done. I loved that Nox made a cameo ,that was fun.I honestly felt that Twitch 's story line was by far the best of this read. Julius came off "stupid " and incompetent in his profession in this read, he is suppose to be the best of the best in thinking ,killing ,figuring out stuff ,knowing all yet he was dumb as dirt to poor Alejandra' issues , I mean he couldn't figure her out ,then she tells him and he does nothing that he should have done until it's nearly too late and so much damage has been endured, I mean he throws her out into the world with that lame reasoning, he could have just handcuffed her in his home like he did days before and took care of business ,she would have been safer and had all her fingers!!!!, that part of the storyline was seriously ridiculous, it was just dumbed down writing, not appreciated at all . The first half of the story made a hell of more sense with Julius than the ending. Ling, she was interesting until she was just evil and than my interest in her went right out the window and to hate, what she did at the end to Alejandra made her pure evil in the worst way.The whole Antonio Falco Sr storyline just went down a huge dead end, what was all that for ??, that could have been so much better and more interesting than it turned out to be . Seriously if you can even remember if you were a Raw book fan than I say you must read Dirty but keep in mind that the Twitch storyline is the best and makes the most sense .The writing is very good I just think the author forgot to keep focused on Julius and Alejandro love story and just made the violence her number one platform for the second half. Second half needed more focus like Twitch story had, just not what I hoped for after nearly 3 years later, not bad just not Raw.

This series has been amazing! I read the 1st book in a day, and Dirty didn't take much longer. Raw: Reborn, here I come!

This is an absolute must if you read the first book. This book is much faster paced than the first and I have read it in only a few hours… go for it as you won’t regret it. Now for more

A continuavao de raw foi bem escrita. Deixa com vontade de quero mais e fecha a historia do Julius. Mal posso esperar pelo 3 livro

Ero molto scettica dopo avere letto il prologo di questo secondo volume ma devo dire che Belle Aurora non solo non mi ha delusa ma mi ha tenuta incollata alle pagine. Prima di tutto, i protagonisti di questa storia sono Julius e Alejandra (di Twitch parlerò dopo). Alejandra è stata data in sposa da suo padre (malavitoso messicano) al figlio di un mafioso per rafforzare un'alleanza tra le due famiglie. Il matrimonio della ragazza con Dino Gambino (yess Dino Gambino) si trasforma in un incubo; il bell italiano più che principe azzurro si trasforma in un sadico violento e pervertito e la povera moglie è costretta a torture fisiche e psicologiche devastanti. Ed è qui che intervengono i vecchi soci di Twitch ovvero Ling e Julius... insomma, senza spoilerare troppo, Alejandra si troverà a dover convivere con Julius che al di là del suo apsetto rude e un'adolescenza trascorsa in carcere per avere ucciso un uomo prende sotto la sua protezione Alejandra. Come speravo e pregavo, l'autrice non ha descritto scene di violenza fine a se stesse ma le ha perfettamente incorniciate in quello che risulta un mafia romance di tutto rispetto. Ottimi e mai fuori i dirty talkin' (in fondo parliamo di bad boy) e buoni i colpi di scena... PASSIAMO ADESSO A PARLARE DI TWITCH (spoilerino INO INO) insomma, come era prevedibile la storia di Lexy e Antonio non poteva finire in quel modo ma questo volume è forse una sorta di ponte per la loro reunion. Twitch infatti ha molti nemici e non può tornare dalla sua famiglia finchè coloro che possono far male ai suoi cari non verranno sistemati per bene ed è proprio qui che subentra un colpo di scena niente male; il tatuato del nostro cuore ha un ononimo molto in vista che potrebbe forse complicare la situazione!!! Detto questo, ho trovato la lettura molto scorrevole e non vedo l'ora di leggere il volume 3 della RAW FAMILY. PROMOSSO

Book 2 is another powerful, suspenseful and unexpected read that took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Raw Family books are not 'likable', but they are compelling, edgy, dark, brutal, surprising, steamy and memorable. Like Raw, don't read Dirty if you're expecting sweet romance and some scenes are very confronting.We first met Warrior-like Julius, in Willing Captive, and now this is his story, along with the beautiful and trapped Alejandra (Ana). I have to admit, while I've loved Belle's other titles and I have confidence in her abilities, I didn't know what to make of Dirty, initially. I even felt a little cynical - how can she follow up Raw and Twitch by focusing on Julius? Why wasn't this book about Twitch and Lexi anyway? Do I care enough about Julius and does he have the ability to pull-off a good storyline?But, Aurora did it! If you feel the same way as I did, have a little faith and read it. Believe me, it is not only a worthwhile read on it's own, it is a connection to the past and a pathway to the next book (nuf said!)DIrty is mostly a duel POV, but it also gives us insight into Lexi, Twitch and Ling's thoughts and circumstances. Other past characters make appearances, too. Dirty has a different appoach to Raw, but the plot is well-thought-out and Belle's ability to tell the story and create imagery is fantastic. The book also takes time to set up the atmosphere and weave the story before Julius and Alejandra build their love ("...the light in her eyes called to the dark in mine..."). It's complex, though and you wonder how things will be resolved considering the enormity of their situation. Nevertheless, part way into the narrative, you'll know and love Julius and see him as a hero. His little sparrow, Alejandra, will evoke feelings of love, admiration, protection and tenderness, but their journey is a tough one...fair warning!Now for book 3. Wait till you read a snippet at the end of Dirty. Oh my! Tantalising!
