I have enjoyed so many of Rachel Van Dyken's books, but this one just did not work for me. The story was unevenly paced and the chemistry between the characters felt forced.

A fun, sexy, second chance, sports romance! This book was humorous but it did get dragged down by the back and forth emotions by the heroine who came off whiny at times.

Rachel Van Dyken books have a certain quality to it. You can always recognize her writing in the characters and stories she creates. This one was no different.

This is a fun read, with funny and interesting characters.

I love Rachel Van Dyken and was excited to read this first book in her Liars, Inc series. A fun and quick read - any rom-com lover will enjjoy this !

Adult romances like this are not my forte but I actually had fun while reading this one. The main character was comical in the way she was written and spoke - and I liked being able to laugh out loud. It was sexy, it was fun, the romance was a little too perfect and cliche. But if you're looking for a quick, enjoyable, sexy romance. Here you are!

Rachel Van Dyken can do absolutely no wrong in my opinion. She is a master of her craft, especially her new romance books. I found this one to be sexy, filled with a sweet and swoon read. The banter between these two characters was hot. I would definitely recommend this.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I have picked this book up several times and can never seem to like it enough to finish it.

Dirty Exes

5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

A sexy, flirty story that you will instantly fall in love with. Blaire is a smart and successful woman, who is helping others out who have been cheated on in their relationships. Jessie is her former flame and is now back in her life. Colin is the hot bartender/ Jessie’s best friend who Blaire can’t seem to forget. Rachael does a great job intertwining their relationships with one another and adding the factor of two guys interested in the same girl. The reader finds themselves already picturing/rooting for Blaire to be with one of them and than you meet the either love interest and can’t help but switch your thinking about who should win the girl. I also love how vulnerable they all are, none of them have had a great relationship history and when they are finally giving themselves another shot at happiness they know they have to break down all their walls or they won’t be able to fully move on and be happy.

Blair and her friend has set up a P.I. company and they catch cheaters basically. Told in 3 POVs, Blair, Collin and Jessie. A client has hired her company to spy on Jessie, pretty much the guy that got away. She really liked him and is fighting all the feelings. Enter Collin, Jessie's BFF who wants to help her get what she needs. I loved Collin's character alot. He was so fun and I adored him.

This book was very enjoyable, fun and I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I will read ANYTHING by Rachel Van Dyken and I'm always excited to see when she has a new book out. Dirty Exes was a super cute and fun contemporary romance!

Dirty Exes had me laughing out loud at the situations that Blaire found herself in! I truly loved this story that started as revenge and ended in true love!

A Dirty Sexy love triangle anyone? Yes Please! Dirty Exes is a spin off of the Wingmen Inc series, and I honestly have to say I really didn't think I would like this series as much as I liked Wingmen series but I really did enjoy it and I would give it a 4.5 stars. Like any love triangle people are going to choose a side.. or the one they want and FINALLY the man I wanted to win won!! Whoop Whoop! Sorry for the bit of an outburst but I haven't had luck with the man of my dreams winning in a series in a while.. so yah RVD your awesome!
Blaire, Jessie, Colin- Blaire is the scorned woman and she runs a service with her best friend to expose cheaters.. because she knows how they feel and wants to make sure no woman ever has to second guess anything... Jessie the one that pushed Blaire away in the past, the one she can't seem to ever forget.. when he shows back up in her life she doesn't realize it what capacity until he becomes the target... Colin the man with no purpose but a heck of lot of money, he plays hard and works hard and he is Jessie's best friend.....
Jessie has to prove his worth to Blaire but will he ever get the chance? He regrets what he did to Blaire in the past but will it be enough?
Colin the "friend" helping Blaire uncover the truth of his best friend because he has no clue if Jessie is telling him the truth.. but he finds himself more intrigued with Blaire and consequences be damned....
Who will Blaire choose? Her first love- who still holds a place in heart, or the sexy stranger that melts her panties and her heart with one look?

It's really funny and sexy in typical Rachel Van Dyken way. Need I say more?

An enjoyable story from start to finish by an author that continues to write amazing stories with storylines that completely enchant me.

I can’t seem to finish this book, no matter how many times I pick it up. I will continue to keep trying, but, for now, I haven’t finished it on any occasion.

I have read many books from this author and this one didn't make it to my favorites list. I liked it but didn't really loved it.

I have chosen not to review this title. My apologies for the delay in responding to this and advising you of this, especially as it is likely obvious I have chosen not to review, I thought I had sent in all of my DNF titles.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity.

I've had a recent slew of not so great books, so I was a little leery starting this. I should have known better: it is Rachel Van Dyken. And once again she's delivered. Hail to the Queen of RomCom!

Dirty Exes had me eye rolling, laughing out loud (I'm looking at you Colin and Isla!), greedy for more, swooning, and ready to drop my panties. The perfect ingredients for a great read! It was full of witty banter, hot as f&%$ sexy times (the swing scene *fans self*), chasing/craving (in a good way), friendship and love. This book and these characters was unputdownable!

I FLOVED Colin!! That funny, sarcastic, cocky, delicious, and flirtatious man made this book, for me. He was exactly what I needed to beat back my book slump, even if only for a few hours. Colin was everything. There was never a question of who I wanted to invade Blaire's heart and takeover. I needed Colin to slay her dragons and take home the victory.

I liked Jesse's character, but I never felt like he was the one who got away, as Blaire did. And no matter how much either thought it, I never thought she should pick him. Jesse wasn't what Blaire needed to move forward in life. He wasn't her soulmate. Her forever. I was firmly in the #teamColin camp. Maybe it was the snake tattoo. Maybe it was the charm he oozed. Maybe it was his possessiveness/jealousy. Maybe it was all that alpha hidden behind a man bun. All I know is, he was the milk to Blaire's cookies.

Blaire and Isla were wicked fun. I am excited to get Isla's story. One's already been taken to her knees. Next!

Amazing!!! Rvd always makes me laugh and this book is not an exception ! Because of family problems I'm late to review the book but that does not makes it less amazing. Rachel is one of my favorite authos and a one click buy every time

Blaire runs a private investigation firm with her friend Isla. They are contacted to investigate Blaire’s ex boyfriend, Jessie. Jessie is an ex football player and his wife Vanessa is convinced he’s up to no good. Honestly, I felt this story to be all over the place. It had too much going on and I really didn’t care for any of the characters. I found Blaire to be annoying. Jessie was too self righteous and controlling at times. Colin was okay and provided comedic relief but that’s about it for me. I didn’t feel the connection between Blaire and Colin. Blaire had a past history with Jessie but I didn't feel the connection either. I wanted to like this book as I have read other books by this author but sadly this wasn’t the case for me.
