Abigail Haddock is stunning, sensible, and some would say . . . stuffy. But it’s not really her fault. She was raised in one of Wessco’s oldest, most affluent, aristocratic families—“stuffy” is their middle name. So is successful. Abby’s working overtime to distinguish herself as a top-notch physician, just as her family legacy demands.
She doesn’t have time for nonsense.
Tommy Sullivan’s all about nonsense.
Sure, he’s an elite bodyguard with lethal skills and co-owner of the renowned, S&S Securities Firm—protector of the wealthy and titled. But he’s also rowdy, fun and thoroughly irresistible.
Tommy knows how to have a good time, and he’s never seen someone more in need of a good time than Abby. The lass needs long, wet, filthy kisses—STAT—and he’s just the man for the job.
It doesn’t take long for a wildly sexy, sinfully satisfying, no-strings attached arrangement to turn into something more. Something sweet and addictive and real. But Tommy and Abby are too royally stubborn to admit it.
Opposites attract, everyone knows that. But can they last—can they love…for forever?
Dirty Charmer is an opposites attract romance with 2 really great characters. Tommy is a rough around the edges bodyguard and Abby is a well bred lady doctor. Seriously, they have nothing in common! But, they both need each other in different ways.
Tommy is a relentless flirt and Abby is very unaccustomed to that. It’s sweet how easily Tommy talks about his feelings for Abby (even when most of the feels are dirty ones). Everything with him is ‘right there’. He doesn’t filter himself. He doesn’t hide who or what he is or where he came from. It was really great to see a hero who isn’t closed off and secretive.
Abby is a planner. She is a high achiever. Her family is titled, and that comes with a lot of expectations. Abby has always felt she wasn’t as successful as her family wanted her to be or expected from her. She pushes herself to be better than perfect and yet, they never seem proud of her. This has made Abby very self conscious and closed off. Tommy is never put off by this though, and just keeps continuing to make dirty suggestions!
There was a bit of a communication struggle at times. This annoyed me. I wanted Abby to just tell Tommy. They had been together for months and she had shared secrets with him, but one event happens and she is shutting him out. I wanted to SHAKE HER!
Dirty Charmer will delight fans of the opposites attract trope and those who like lots of sexy times. Tommy will having you swooning hard and you will love every dirty minute of this Dirty Charmer!

Dirty Charmer
How interesting that Tommy is so open with his feelings. I feel like in romance you always get the hero being quite unwilling to talk about their feelings, it’s refreshing. It sounds a little frustrating Abby didn’t open up more especially further into their relationship. Great review, I’d not seen this one about.
