Review: Dirty Love by Meghan March (Dirty Girl #2)
Note: This ARC was provided by InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.
Ah, cliffhangers. I have somewhat of a love-hate thing going on with them. I know most of them serve a purpose (well, other than to torture us) and it's mostly all the waiting that gets to me. When done well, and then followed up with a fantabulous sequel, the wait seems worthwhile. Bestselling author Meghan March left us with a doozy of a cliffhanger in the eponymous Dirty Girl duet starter, and thankfully, the wait wasn't too long. Dirty Love picks up exactly where things were left hanging in the previous book, and the expected fallout from the revelation Creighton Karas threw his sister Greer's way hits both Greer and Cavanaugh Westman hard. This gives us answers to the who, what, when, where, and why, some via flashbacks. Of course, the sex is as present AND as dirty as ever, as is Greer's clear lack of impulse control.
Greer Karas is the only woman Cavanuagh Westman has ever loved and making sure that she's knows the reasons behind his actions in the past is key in winning her back. Walking away from her three years ago was painful, but nothing compares to watching Greer walk away from him, especially without giving Cav the opportunity to explain. And while Greer may have chosen to turn her back on him after the bombshell her brother dropped on her, she can't seem to simply lock her feelings away or to forget how it was to be with Cav. Can there really be any chance for Greer and Cav to get over the very deep, dark secret that was revealed, and even if they do overcome that part of their past, when a far darker and more dangerous one is unexpectedly disclosed, will either Greer or Cav be able to transcend all the consequences lying in wait?
This sequel certainly had quite a number of good points going for it, but I must confess that I was a tad disappointed with it. There's a lull in the story, one that was mildly interesting, but it was one that left me wanting. Also, Greer was frustratingly immature a lot of the time, almost as if she constantly fails to discount how her thoughtless actions have consequences. She claims to care about her brother, and while I have no issue with her putting herself first, there comes a point when you need to use your head and take a minute to look before you leap. She also said something in the epilogue about Crey that irritated me. Also, you would think that after everything he put her through, but then and now, she would, at the very least, make Cav earn her trust back. Still, Dirty Love wrapped things up pretty well, and I'm giving it four stars. ♥
