Dirty Like Me: A Hot Rockstar Romance (Dirty, Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 17,463 ratings

A full-steam, fake dating romance, featuring a charming, famous heartbreaker, a sweet “regular” girl, a salacious job offer, a ridiculous bet and way too many shared hotel beds.

A gorgeous rock star. An indecent proposal. How can a girl resist?

Struggling barista Katie Bloom doesn’t even know who Jesse Mayes is until she inadvertently wins the coveted role of his hot new girlfriend in his latest music video.
But by the time she’s in bed with him, she knows his reputation.

Love maker.
Heartbreaker.

Making out with a stranger in front of a camera crew isn’t how Katie imagined herself getting over a broken heart, but when Jesse touches her, sparks fly.
It's supposed to be fake but the chemistry is real, and before long, the steamy video is blazing up the charts.

Then Jesse makes Katie a tantalizing offer: act as his girlfriend for six weeks while he promotes his new album.
The only catch? Their sizzling make-out sessions will be for the cameras only.
That suits Katie just fine, since she’s not about to trust her heart to rock’s most legendary lover.
Her body, though? Maybe.

As it turns out, pretending to fall in love is incredibly sexy…
And falling in love for real, with a man she promised not to fall for?
Irresistible.

This book is HOT!!
This book is hot as hell. I loved every part of the book. Some reviews say it’s drawn out, I feel that’s what made Jesse and Katie so fire! The build up was crazy and the ending melted my heart! I couldn’t put this book down and literally finished it in 3 days. I highly recommend!!!! I want this to be turned into a movie!!!

    Loved Katie and Jesse….so, so hot!!!! I hated how Katie had no belief or worth in herself. Her past really screwed with her self love as well as her art. I’m glad Jesse could give that back to her. I’m also glad Jesse fell head over heels when he said he would not do a girlfriend because he didn’t want to be a heartbreaker! Joke was on him when the storm of Katie quietly came into his world. I want the backstory on Elle, I feel like there is much more to unravel with her! This was a hot read 🌶️

    I really enjoyed this book. I was not sure what to expect from this author, since I never read anything from her. I will continue this series, I’m dying to read about the rest of the band.

    A beautiful start to what will soon be your Roman Empire of Rockstar romance series. Jesse and Katie. It is a fake dating close proximity romance like none other. A common trope but in this book done so uniquely and beautifully...
    What do you do when the most beautiful man you've ever seen who just so happens to be in the most famous rock band in the world, asks you to go on tour with him as his fake girlfriend to boost album sales? You say, hell yeah that's what you do!
    Not only do you fall in love with the absolutely adorable Romance between Katie and Jesse but you also fall in love with everyone in the band and crew. Every character is just so beautifully written, that you want to know them, you want to be their friend. And, that is not an easy thing to do as an author. I encourage anyone who is a music lover to read this series. It will not only Captivate you, tickle you, infuriate you at times... it will change the way you feel about Rockstar Romance novels. This book is beautiful, surprising, absolutely heartwarming and above all... dirty.

  • Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024
    Okay, great start to what I hope will be an exceptional series of books. I do love a good Rock Star Romance.

    Katie was left at the altar 2 years ago, and she's still trying to figure out how to get her life back. She went to school for art, but she's not finding much energy or inspiration to do it. Her best friend Devi is a talent agent, and one day when Katie is walking her dog towards Devi's office, she finds her in a meeting with a few people. Half an hour later, Katie has an unexpected job as Jesse Mayes' love interest in a music video.

    Jesse felt an immediate attraction to Katie. When the video goes viral, he offers her a job for the next 6 weeks while his band is touring. The job is to play his girlfriend, since the video has been wildly popular and he thinks that playing along with that popularity will help with album sales.

    Katie agrees, somewhat reluctantly, because she is already finding Jesse hard to resist.

    Even while they're trying to resist one another, it's obvious that it won't take long for things to heat up. The only problem is, Katie isn't ready to be in any spotlight, and her feelings for Jesse are getting harder to hide. Jesse has long been the master of hiding his feelings and he's been hiding them so long, he can't find the words when he needs them.

    If you’re a fan of rockstar drama, this book delivers plenty of it. Jesse, a genuinely good guy, has endured significant personal losses that left him guarded and wary of love. Katie, still recovering from being left at the altar two years ago, isn’t any more open to vulnerability. Their shared fear of revealing their true feelings sets the stage for a complicated, slow-burn romance filled with emotional highs and lows.

    The story is relatable, and the premise is engaging, especially in the beginning, which offers a fun and intriguing setup. However, the narrative becomes bogged down with excessive internal monologues about the characters’ feelings—or lack thereof—which slows the pacing and detracts from the central romance. At times, this introspection leads the characters to make decisions that work against their best interests. For instance, Jesse clearly loves Katie but refuses to end the charade of their fake relationship to start a real one. Katie, meanwhile, walks away from Jesse mid-tour after hurtful but false media reports surface about her family, leaving him to complete his concert series alone.

    Some subplots feel unnecessary and out of place. One puzzling example is Katie meeting with Jesse’s ex-girlfriend and bandmate, Elle, as well as his sister, after the media scandal. These scenes don’t add much to the story and detract from the emotional core of the main relationship.

    While the book starts strong, the excessive focus on psychological analysis slows the momentum and distracts from the romance. That said, fans of slow-burn love stories and rockstar drama may find plenty to enjoy, especially if they’re drawn to flawed characters trying to find their way toward love.
