Dirty Like Seth: A Friends to Lovers Rockstar Romance (Dirty, Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 6,267 ratings

A reunited-friends-to-lovers redemption story, featuring a fallen hero in need of forgiveness, a superstar heroine who knows how lonely it is at the top, and a secret love that flourishes despite the odds stacked against it.

They all thought they knew him, but only she knew his heart.

Seth Brothers had it all: the hottest rock album in the world, more money than he’d ever dreamed of, and Dirty—the band he loved like family.
Not bad for a former orphan and street kid.
But as Dirty hit the big time, Seth’s demons got the better of him and he hit bottom.
He lost it all—over an addiction, a whole lot of mistakes, and an ugly misconception.

Now all Seth’s got is a bad reputation, the guitar on his back, and a heart full of regrets.
And one last chance to get it all back…
if he can crash an audition to join his former band—and slay it.

He slays it.
But he doesn’t get what he wants.
Instead, he gets the one thing he never expected: someone to believe in him.

As Dirty’s bassist, Elle Delacroix has it all—except the one thing that truly matters.
Love.
The only thing Seth has to give.

But if Seth really wants his life back, he’ll have to give it everything he’s got and then some.
Including the hardest truth.

There are two sides to every rock ’n’ roll story; it’s time for Seth to tell his.

    Seth is such a well-drawn character, and his story is compelling. He is compelling. Real and honest, trustworthy, redeemed, almost. Elle is kind of messy as a character in the beginning, and how Seth and Elle start their relationship is somewhat contrived and hard to believe, but if you stay with it, the ride is so worth it.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018
    I received this as an ARC and was grateful to have been entrusted with it for review. I apologize for the length in advance if you dare to read it.
    My reason for wanting to read this particular story was the moral dilemma that showcased itself in previous books and I was intrigued by Seth. I wanted him to have connections and forgiveness and redemption and while reading this book cover to cover somewhere along the line what I wanted changed. This book shredded me and when I glued myself back I was all over the place. I wanted to fight for Seth. I was incensed at what I considered to be injustices against him. I wanted to slap Seth and ask him to stop rolling over man the eff up and be vociferous.
    Seth Brothers is broken and drowning in musical genius. He messed up when he was younger and paid the ultimate price both fighting for his life and sanity simultaneous to his connection with Dirty being severed. He fought for his survival relapsing several times before he managed to get his sobriety to adhere. He was given a golden opportunity to reunite with Dirty years later after a chance meeting at a beach. Sadly the opportunity was ripped away from him unjustly. (I’ve never liked Brody) Months Later, after drifting he decides to go bravely to the blind open audition for his old position.
    I really have never liked Brody and this book further cemented that feeling. I truly dislike his character and Jessa is a spineless hypocrite. How can you live comfortably knowing you blamed someone for your recreational use of drugs as a teen? This entire situation could have been fleshed out differently. She felt badly he left after she pointedly asked him to. Much favoritism was displayed in the group and the disparity in the way Seth was treated as an drug addict and how Zane is treated as a consummate alcoholic was vexating.
    It was repeatedly said that Seth hurt the band but I felt it more apt to say they hurt each other. Dirty knew about Seth’s addiction and turned blind eyes to the situation until he became a public liability/embarrassment. They fully turned their backs on him and that gutted me and it was never properly addressed by any, aside from Elle now. “I felt alone, for a long time… abandoned.” How is Dirty a family if they could have done that to one of their own? For this reason I strongly felt Seth needed to cauterize Dirty. They repeatedly broke his heart and by his own admission he was done. IMO He had the talent to start his own one man show.
    Let us begin by giving Elle a round of applause for “woman-ing” up and not giving in to group think. It was absolutely refreshing to have read her character taking the bull by the horns early and shoving it south. I appreciated Elle’s zero effs approach.
    Not much is known about Elle aside from the fact that she was Jesse’s ex-lover and band mate. She is presented as a solitary figure in previous books. She is a beautiful, slightly bitter and heartbroken woman of little words who’s coping by pursuing a dalliance with Ashley Player and distancing herself emotionally from Dirty.
    She distances herself further after the audition goes south and she minutely understands that some injustices are being played out. “…at this point, we were all starting to feel like we were cursed or something. Every time we thought we’d found our guy, it fell apart.”

    “It all started to border on eff!ng juvenile” Truer words have never been spoken. This was a hallelujah moment and monumental as a reader. Jaine is able to get the reader to feel on behalf of the protagonist which is a powerful tool because as angry as the situations in the book may have the reader, once you become invested in that character, it is unlikely you will put this book down for anything other than to release a pent up breath. I never realized how tiring being inside my own head might be but I do now after reading their inner monologues. The first part of this novel focused on the inner workings of both their minds and their variegated thoughts. Jaine captured this process well. It dragged a bit and some areas felt a bit redundant but it’s actually a process we ourselves go through and she was able to suck you into this person’s thoughts and current emotional state.
    During this time it was difficult for me to even imagine them being anything other than the best of friends at the end. So much so I started craving for a story about friendship and the kind of love needed to sustain theirs. When that moment came and the vibe initially shifted I wasn’t truly prepared for it, not from Seth anyway. It felt too sudden when he started liking her and the past was used as tool to give credit to his current feelings. That seemed a bit unnecessary when the present was strong enough to foster fresh new feelings that could develop devoid of baggage from the past.
    “eff reservations.” “eff the band.” “This was happening.”
    I was now ready.
    Seth made his peace and was a truly good guy. Elle recognized this and she fought hard against herself but in the end wanting a deeper meaningful connection with someone won out. Experiencing that connection with Seth became vital for her and it became a beautiful thing. They connected on a mental level first before they progressed to any physical and that was important. She came to know Seth and knowing Seth and his music and everything he willingly offered her became this foreplay of sorts. She loved him before she was truly willing to acknowledge it and when she did she became his tigress. Nice role reversal done by the author. Seth came across a bit effeminate and Elle was just a strong no nonsense female. Quite interesting and it actually worked minus a few things.
    “Seth was mine. That was all there was to it’.
    Seth was an unusually open male protagonist, a nice change from the brooding dark type. However, he had no spine and that was frustrating. He accepted everything and that didn’t seem right at all. He had no fight in him.
    I truly wanted Seth to forget the band and grow and become his own act. He didn’t need their forgiveness and as a reader I felt it would have been more natural if he did become a solo act. Seth Brothers… Sober. Has a lovely ring to it.

    Zane aside the rest of the band from is the only person who surprisingly always had a true heart. Seth didn’t need or want the band as much as he wanted Elle and they would have made a remarkable team. There comes a time when some bands do need to disperse and I feel this way about Dirty.
    As a reader Brody and Jesse’s behavior always being rationalized, was very annoying. I felt on this, Elle was to back and forth. You know who the wrong and the wronged parties are and the peace keeping had me antsy. Too many people did him wrong and not enough heartfelt apologies were issued.
    I enjoyed reading this book and the romance was Jaine Diamond through and through. I feel Jaine did a great job keeping me enthralled with the two main characters and evoking the strong responses I had when reading this book, from anger to butterflies and smiles. My grouse with Seth’s treatment, his lack of backbone and what I consider a dissatisfactory address of past events and the general donkeyish behaviour of secondary characters did sour it a little but overall it is a book worth reading and it causes you to ask yourself questions on friendship especially what it means to be a friend to someone.

    Seth and Elle - who would have thought?

    This book in the series is so poignant, so lovely. Seth and Elle are two lost souls. She has everything but she feels little. I would have liked to see her relate her FWB relationship with Ash to her old relationship with Jesse though - it was all there, so clear.

    Seth has been through hell and back more than once. Elle is so strong and capable but is so insecure in her heart. They make beautiful music together and it gives them the common ground and comfort they need to fall in love.

    I was really ready to read Maggie and Zane's story next especially after seeing some mixed reviews about this one. I do agree with other reviewers that said this should have been titled Dirty like Elle instead of Seth. It was a very interesting redemption story for Seth and a healing over heartbreak for Elle. There are definitely triggers in this book for drug addiction and sexual pressure (regarding Jessa and Seth's relationship when she was 16 and he was 19 - legal consent in BC is 16). I did think the author did a good job of telling how addictions affect more than the person using. Many different sides of the same story were told. The other criticism I read was that the first half of the book was slow, which I found to be a little true but I found the inner dialogue interesting especially with Elle since we haven't really heard her perspective before. I enjoyed this book. Hot sexy scenes in this book but I don't think as many as in the first few books. Ms. Diamond is especially skilled at writing multi-dimensional characters and very spicy scenes that fit with their unique characters. Jesse and Katie are still my favorite couple so far although I think Maggie and Zane will beat them when I get to their story!

    Book 1 was good, book 2 was horrible, book 3 was ok. I found Elle and Seth to be pretty cute together. I was bothered by the fact that the words "rapist" was used towards Seth though. To me, that's just not a word you throw around to create drama. I was super disappointed in some of the side characters in this book also. I guess this series just doesn't vibe well with me. I am a sucker for a good love story but as I keep going through these books, it has nothing to do with love and more to do with sex. I don't think I'm even going to be able to read the next book. I may or may not give it a shot depending on how bored I am.

    Okay so I was not a fan of Seth in Dirty Like Brody….now I kind of think Brody is the brute here! This was the best book of the series so far, and it really dove into the band itself! The dynamic is crazy but they all definitely love one another and truly want happiness for each other. Seth melted my heart! Although he has many demons, he is such a dream when he falls head over heels for Elle. She is one tough cookie, but all that comes crumbling down as she realizes she loves Seth and he becomes her priority as she is his! I’m glad after Jesse, Elle could heal and find her true happiness…and I believe Seth needed to go through all the crap he did to as well to gain an appreciation for what life had to offer him! 10/10 spicy and pulls at your heartstrings! Can’t wait to follow them as the series continues ❤️

    I love me a redemption story. Especially when the person in question got the tough end of the stick.

    Seth and Elle are a match made in heaven. Both have their own emotional roller-coaster to go through, but together, it's easy to forget all the background noise. The crazy chemistry. The sweet connection. The raw emotion.. I loved everything about them.

    Brody stressed me here, but that's the best thing about getting each story.. perspective. It's a funny thing and different for everyone. I really like how the author navigated the many personalities and their feelings towards the situation. I love how Seth didn't even try to justify himself but instead remained calm and honest. Honestly.. it was perfectly done.

    Another successful read and Seth may just be my favourite so far.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 Stars) Seth + Elle

    Jaine Diamond writes well but with the story of Seth and Elle I just didn’t gel with enough to enjoy this book. I didn’t feel the relationship had enough substance to get to the love status in such a short timeframe plus the whole Jessa drugs storyline confused me in how it was portrayed in this book but that is just my opinion and a lot of other people loved this book. I didn’t mind this read (hence the 4 stars) but did not love it.
