I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. I loved this book and can't wait for more from this series. This book is actually a spin off of Matchmakers Playbook but is a complete standalone and new series.
Blaire and her friend Isla own a business called Dirty Exes. It catches cheating spouses and blast them on Facebook.
Colin is beyond rich and is just looking for that one special woman to be his partner. He doesn't expect her to be on the floor of his bar hiding out.
This book was a very fun and entertaining easy read. It had me swooning over Colin hard and laughing at all the trouble Blaire gets into. Definitely recommend this book to everyone. Can't wait for more.

Revenge with a side of whiskey.

Blaire had a few love-struck weeks years ago with the ex-NFL star Jesse Beckett and has compared everyone to him ever since. She had all the feels but apparently he only had a few because when he was traded he walked away with a hug, smile and a "I'll miss you." Blaire propelled from that "in the publication eye" relationship into one where she could finally just be herself, be normal. Jason was it, hers, meant to be...or so she thought. What he was really meant to be was the best two-timing snake in the history of forever. Blaire was heartbroken with the realization that the common factor in each of these relationships was her. Something about her just wasn't good enough. Then there's the anger. She never got over her husband cheating on her but that lovely situation thrust her into a new career and a brand new best friend. Blaire and Isla both know firsthand how it feels to be on the losing side of a marriage. What better way to let that anger out than to help other people catch their spouses in the dirty lies they tell and the other beds they are falling in? Dirty Exes was born and they were serving up revenge on a gold platter with a side of humiliation for dessert. Life is moving along and Blaire is ok, maybe not happy but somewhat satisfied with her life's direction at least she was until sh finds out her latest client just so happens to be Jessie Beckett. The one guy she still holds a flame for and the one fire he has yet to be able to extinguish. There's no easy way to go about this case. And then Colin enters the picture. Hot, cocky and charming Colin, who is also Jessie's best friend and seems to be completely taken with Blaire. He's willing to help her expose Jessie... for a price, and a steep one at that. Blaire is now caught in a weird past/present love triangle that leaves her head spinning and her heart pounding with the choices she has to make. Is the past where she wants to be or is her future brighter with her present?

Rachel has once again knocked us off our feet with a story that grabs us from the very beginning, shakes us up and then spits us out with a giant grin slapped on our faces. There's just enough humor for a few chuckles and amusement at the situations that Blaire gets herself stuck in. From the very beginning, you think you know which way the story will go but Rachel surprises us with a few twists that leaves us second-guessing ourselves. I adore the connection to the Matchmaker's stories because I absolutely loved those and this left me longing for the next story in the series. Another 5+ story Rachel. Please don't ever stop!!

Rachel Van Dyken has become a new one-click author for me after this superb, entertaining and hilarious read.

Dirty Exes is the name of the company which is a PI business exposing dirty, cheating couples and Boy was it brilliantly put together. It’s run by two besties Blair’s and Isla, that I would love to have as my friends because they are scrumptiously classy in the most clumsy way that leaves you laughing your head off at times.

Blaire has a history of attracting the wrong guys. Her ex-husband cheated on her and Jessie, the one guy that got away that she really loved and cannot stop thinking about re-enters her life and everything just goes pear-shaped after that. You see, Jessie, is now one of the cheating men she needs to expose but all the facts have not been given to her about Jessie’s past.

Jessie is delicious. An ex-athlete and a body to die for, plus he is super sweet and really down to earth. Throw in his best friend Colin who is a hotel owner, and just as scrumptious, and available without the dramas of any exes hanging around. They do say when it rains it pours, so here lucky Blaire has a decision to make but who will the lucky man be.

You just have to read it to find out but I absolutely devoured this book. It’s definitely for the strong woman who has had enough of the bull that comes there way with men who are just not good enough for them.

I never thought I would say it but I’m liking this series better than Wingmen, INC. I know right? These characters! Geez, I totally fell in love with them. They are absolutely hilarious. Yes, there is heat. It’s sexy but y’all it’s extremely funny. Blair is a trip. I don’t want to give anything away just trust me, you are going to love this.

Two scorned women who go into business as PI’s, righting wrongs and busting out those who cheat. It’s priceless. The author gave us a fantastic story with phenomenal writing. I’ll definitely re-read this one.

Quick and fun! Mindless entertainment and I mean that in a good way! Overall I enjoyed it. I didn’t get the obsession with Jesse, and I felt like Blaire was more like 25 year old vs a 35 yo. But other than that! Grinned like an idiot the entire time I read it. And thank goodness for Colin.

*5 Stars*

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. This has been my typical experience with RVD books so far, even though I haven’t read too many as yet.

Dirty Exes was just so much fun. It has got some heavy undertones, but for me this book was more fun than anything. I wanted that happy ending, and I wanted it with the one particular guy out of the two choices that Blaire has.

I loved all the characters, apart from the ones we aren’t supposed to like. Colin is just a ball of fun but a great guy underneath, Jessie is intense and needs to work back to being himself, Blaire is a woman on a mission but just needs to believe in herself again and have some fun, and Isla is an awesome best friend and quite fun as well when you get down to that layer. The four of them make for an entertaining novel that I sped through really quickly.

I really look forward to the next book in this series, can October please hurry up?

Yes yes and yes! This was fantastic!

I read this book in one sitting while on the plane on my way to New York (BookCon, post on that coming soon).

It follows the story of Blaire, a PI focused on exposing the cheaters of the world. She is good at it too.
Her new assignment however is on an old friend and flame, the boy from her dreams that left her in order to pursuit his football career. To treat him like any other client proves difficult, she loved him once and is still attracted to him. Luckily for her his best friend is willing to help her out a little. He is funny and friendly and she is captivated by him from the start. As he is with her... One impossible job, two men she is attracted to, a cheater to be exposed...

I loved this book!
I laughed and got goosebumps often.
Blaire was a hilarious character. Some of the situations she found herself in while doing her job where priceless. From the first to the last page she did not fail to make me smile.

Jessie, her ex, has a complicated life. Married but not married. It was hard to understand the guy and why he put up with the things he did. He cares a lot about Blaire but he also needs to get his affairs in order and that does not happen until the very end.

Collin, Jessies' best friend was a hoot. Everytime he talked I laughed. And the chemistry between him and Blaire was off the charts.

I cannot recommed this enough sunnies! Go Read!

Revenge is best served hot and dirty. Dirty Exes is the start of something fabulous. Van Dyken takes her smokin' style to satire. Blaire knows how to heal a broken heart. Don't get mad. Get even. She makes her living exposing lies. What happens when the biggest lie is the one she's told herself? The keeper of secrets is about to be exposed and it could be the best thing that ever happened to her. The thrill of the chase is only half of the fun.

"Don't ever apologize for eye-fucking, it's rude."

That quote right there is my new favorite. I laughed my ass off when I read it. I want a bumper sticker, a coffee mug, and a t-shirt, it's that awesome! I enjoyed the hell out of Dirty Exes. The dynamic duo, Blaire & Isla, started their PI firm to catch cheaters and help the jilted. Their fearless attempts to get the goods are creative and very successful. It doesn't hurt that they use Facebook Live to blast their evidence and embarrass the culprits, making them very popular on social media.

Yes, as I'm sure you've already guessed, the owners are victims of dirty exes and feel it's their duty to help others that don't deserve the same treatment. They've had a 100% success rate so far and feel very proud of their record and their service. It's not until they've already accepted a new client and are stalking the accused that Blaire finds out that he's her first love, Jessie Beckett, the ex–NFL star. The one that got away, the one she's never gotten over. The one that she compares all others to and they come up short. Surely he's not guilty, right? But she has a duty to find out the truth, so let the stalking commence.

I can't express how much fun I had reading this story. There were some awesome support characters that I loved and some others that made me wish for a voodoo doll and some pins. The witty banter was especially entertaining and the sweet love story had me swooning and reluctant to reach the end of the book. I'm thrilled that this is part of the Liars, Inc series and hope that means I will get to spend some more time with these incredible characters in future books. The line forms here...

RVD has done it again, she has brought us another series to be hooked on with characters that intrigue us and entice us into their worlds.

I loved the idea of this book, these scorned women starting up their own PI company to expose cheating spouses. Blaire had been in stiches with her #spygirl antics.

This book has me laughing out loud with the situations Blaire ended up in and the banter between her and Colin was so amusing to watch.

Even though there was a bit of a love triangle I have to say I was #TeamColin from the beginning even though Jessie was really sweet. Saying that I would have loved to be stuck in the middle between these hot AF men.

I cannot not wait for the next book in this series as I can only imagine the hilarious antics that are going to occur

ARC received in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley

Premise - Blaire is a co-owner if Dirty Exes, a P.I. firm that exposes cheating spouses. She runs into the man that got away, Jessie, and discovers that Jessie is the cheating spouse of her newest client.


I think I would have DNF this book early on if it hadn’t been an arc, so guilt and obligation kept me reading. While the book did not go the direction I thought it would take, I can’t say I would recommend it.

Blaire goes into the PI business after her husband cheats on her with her best friend. She’s very insistent that she is over this and she has moved on. It feels like lies though.

“This job was everything I needed to focus on so I didn’t lose my mind and mentally consider all the reasons why I was in that small office stalking cheaters and trying to find as much dirt on them as possible. It was my vengeance. My goal. It was also lonely.”

I think she was supposed to come off empowered but she just felt bitter. Also I didn’t like the fact that she had a history with the guy she was trying to catch cheating. Seems like a moral dilemma.

“Jessie, our client’s husband? You have a history with our guy? I mean, what the hell, Blaire! We can’t take her on as a client.”
“Hell yes, we can.” I gritted my teeth.
Uber driver looked ready to drop me off at the nearest psych hospital.
“Isla, it’s a lot of money and it’s our job to expose cheaters for what they are! So yes, I have a history with Jessie. But this is business, not personal.”

Thank you Ilsa, voice of reason.

Colin, Jessie’s best friend, was great and called out Blaire on the fact she wasn’t over being cheated on.

I can’t say I would recommend it. It had a few funny moments but I was too aggravated at Blaire to appreciate them

This is the first book I have read by this author and I loved it. This story has an interesting premise and great characters. Blaire is a cool chick. Her job is to catch cheating spouses. She is bitter and insecure, though, 'cause guys have either cheated on her or left her without a reason why. On her last job she sees Jessie, her brother's friend and an old hookup. The guy that left her for a football career without a backward glance. Turns out this meeting has a purpose. Jessie is married now and his wife has hired Blaire to catch him cheating. During her stakeout on Jessie, she finds unexpected help in Colin, Jessie's friend and all together hot, bun wearing guy. Two guys vying for Blaire's attention. Lucky girl. The "will they, won't they" scenario between Jessie and Blaire kept me entertained. I definitely will check out the next book in this series.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

Outwardly, a scorned PI dedicated to embarrassing cheaters might not sound like the best backdrop for a love triangle. But Rachel Van Dyken provides a fun, funny, sweet and sexy read while successfully launching the first in her Liars, Inc. series.

When Jessie Beckett left Blaire to pursue his NFL career, she tried to move on but ended up marrying a cheating douche canoe she soon divorced and now firm, dedicated to catch and humiliate cheaters in the act, has been hired to investigate none other than Jessie. A difficult task given the fact that she never got over him. But his best friend Colin is willing to help, sort of. Mostly he’s been flirting with her from the moment they met while she was spying on Jessie in Colin’s hotel. She’s got sweet history with one and an incredible attraction with the other and now she has to decide.

Rachel Van Dyken’s effervescence shines through in fun, sassy and witty dialogue which is nicely balanced with the swoony moments full of emotion. The story has many share-tastic bits yet the plot is also rife with twists and turns that, if shared, would zap all the enjoyment out of the read. I can mention though that the tale is told from various points of view and that Jessie, Colin and Blaire are charming characters that easily made me smile and laugh. It was an unputdownable book which I’ve read several times since it landed on my eReader.

Dirty Exes is book #1 of the Liars Inc. series by Rachel Van Dyken. It is standalone contemporary romance told by several points of view with a happy ending.

Dirty Exes is an easy, fun read! The story line has good characters, some fun twists, a bit of angst and just the right amount of hot romance and it certainly didn’t end the way I first expected. It is a romance triangle that keeps you guessing.
I hope you take the time to read this next hit by Rachel Van Dyken!

Blaire has been cheated on and burned by her exes so she and her friend, Isla, started a very successful business helping others who have had the same problem. Little did she know that it would be a past love she was investigating, but enter his best friend, Colin, and the story take a fun turn. She struggles with her feelings of never being enough and Colin, the playboy, has his feet pulled out from under him when he realizes that he doesn’t want any other women, just Blaire. He has also broken the bro code and is trying to figure out how to tell Jessie, his best friend and Blaire’s ex boyfriend, that he wants her.
Jessie has been dealing with trying to get out of a broken marriage that his wife simply won’t let go of. She has accused him of cheating and that is why Blaire is back in his life.

This book is different in the style of writing from what I’m used to by Rachel van Dyken. I’ve read a lot of her books and they’ve been mostly 5 Star reads.
This book...not so much. It didn’t hold my attention. I really wanted it too, but struggled for most of the book. The love triangle and both guys weren’t my favorite. The obsession with an Ex that was only Blaine’s bf for three weeks was a bit much. I don’t think I’ll read book two in this series, even if it gives Isla her happy ending.

I received a copy of this eBook from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.

Whew, when they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, they were talking about Blaire. She's angry, hurt, and ready to take on the world of dirty cheaters. Male, female, it doesn't matter. If they cheat, then she exposes them on Facebook Live for the world to see. When her job forces her to cross paths with the ex that got away, she gets a little confused. Jessie is secretive, concious of public opinion, and aware that he let something good get away in Blaire. Add in Colin, Jessie's brash, cocky, and alpha best friend, and Blaire is in a world of trouble.

I have to say I absolutely loved the banter between Colin and Blaire and was immediately rooting for him to win her heart. I found Jessie to be a little bit whiney and annoying to be honest. I wanted to slap him silly and tell him to grow the f up. And then I wanted to shake Blaire when she was so focused on him. The love triangle between the three, while annoying, was entertaining to watch. The chemistry between Blaire and the one she chooses is explosive. And there's just tons of sexual tension (as well as other tension!) between the two. And the secondary characters are just as great. I absolutely love Isla.

I loved seeing Blaire recover from her heartache and watch her grow as a woman. There was a lot of depth to her character--she had both strengths and weaknesses on full display. Watching her take a chance on love again was gratifying. Add in a bit of intrigue and drama, and I was completely hooked. Like all of Rachel Van Dyken's stories, this one was both sweet and spicy with just enough heat to make me want to fan myself.

If you're looking for a story that'll make you sit on the edge of your seat and just maybe choose sides, this is the one for you. Van Dyken doesn't disappoint.

Another Hail Mary for RVD!! She did an awesome job on this book. It was unlike all her others in that it definitely did read like a screenplay. I'll admit that at first I was put off, however I trekked on and read it. It had been sitting on my kindle since probably February and I finally dived into the deep end and found that my favorite character was Beckett!! I loved Blaire but Jessie Beckett was my ultimate fan fave. Throw in Colin and Isla and you round out this witty romance that has you wondering who's gonna fall for whom? If you've already seen that there is a book coming out in October...then this will come as no surprise!! More Beckett! I'm looking forward to his book. If you haven't seen - Isla and Beckett are getting a book. These two books kind of remind me of Fraternize and Infraction and I loved those two. Again, I really think this is a wonderful addition to RVD resume.💜💜

Blaire loves to catch cheaters red handed. In fact, she has a business centered around that very thing. But, when her newest case involves the one that got away, Blaire is about to embark on a job that is about to get very personal...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blaire has been burned with every one of her past relationships. Since her failed marriage, where she found her husband cheating, she just hasn’t been able to bounce back. Forming her company that catches cheaters in the act, she has found a way to help women get answers and even revenge on the men they suspect are cheating on them.

When Blaire sees Jessie again, she is reminded of the relationship that she never got over, all her old feelings come rushing back... which might just be the worst possible scenario...

Jessie Beckett is an ex NFL Star, who married the wrong person, and he has been paying for it ever sense. In the midst of a divorce, when he sees Blaire again he immediately wants the relationship he once had with her back.

Colin is Jessie's best friend, hoping to help him get through this rough patch in his life. But, when he meets Blaire, she is someone who makes him want things that he hasn’t felt in a long time. He could see himself falling for her, if only it wasn’t for the bro code and the fact that Jessie was there first...

This book kept me guessing with a love triangle represented by a past Blaire always imagined going farther than it did and a present that is full of possibilities...

I really enjoyed this story, featuring the authors usual brand of entertaining characters, and fantastic groups of friends that you fall in love with. The love triangle was a little hard for me to get on board with, and when it played out, who ended up with who. But all in all this was a delightful read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

Dirty Exes by Rachel Van Dyken
Reviewer: Chelsea
Rating: 4.5 stars!!

I have loved almost all of Rachel’s books so I was super pumped to get this new books on my kindle!! I really loved the premise of this book! I was super happy with the new world Rachel created and how it tied into the Matchmakers series!!

Blaire lost who she thought was her great love only to have him back in her life and intermixing with her job as a PI finding cheaters. Now she has to rationalize what she’s been told about her long lost love with what she knew. Only to make matter complicated she finds herself attracted to his best friend!

Colin has been friends with Jesse, Blaire’s ex, for decades. Now he has to keep a secret from him when he starts to fall for Blaire! He is also related to Jesses wife, though he wishes he wasn’t.

I loved this cute yet steamy read and can’t wait for the next book!! I was a little disappointed with Jesse in the end. The way he treats Isla after he basically puts it past them only to bring it back up and make her pay later. Also the fact that he doesn’t even treat Blaire badly and she was one digging up the dirt on him!! I’m interested to see how Rachel can make him redeemable for his asshole actions.

Nevertheless I truly loved this book!! I want more from this couple! I wanted more in the epilogue too but I hope we will see them a lot in the next book!

One-Click approved!!

What a fun,sweet and lighthearted story!Dirty Exes was exactly what I needed after reading three emotional books.From the first pages I have a smile in my face and I loved the story line so much.

The characters were lovely and the romance was perfect!I like the multiple POVS , it was nice getting in their heads and see what they are thinking.

I'm looking forward for the next book!If you are looking for a great story,a steamy romance and a brilliant plot this is perfect!
