DIRTY is Book 1 in Kylie Scott's "Dive Bar" series. Kylie
Scott does a superb job of detailing the humor and horror
that makes up the singular situation Lydia Green finds
herself in at the opening of DIRTY. Some women, after
finding out on their wedding day how they've been cheated
on and totally betrayed by their groom-to-be, might drown
in a well of despair. Lydia, however, is a little
different. I love that Lydia's first meeting with the
mellow hottie Vaughan Hewson is when she is a fugitive
from her aborted wedding. Kylie Scott's deft sprinkling
of charm and chaos defines Vaughan and Lydia's entire
relationship in DIRTY and makes it such a delectable
story. Normally a man and woman get to know each other and begin
a romantic relationship before moving in together. Once
again, Kylie Scott flouts conventional romance tropes in
the best possible way. As Vaughan harbors Lydia while she
gets her head straight and her life together, the
friendship and attraction between them grows. Vaughan and
Lydia are both complex characters, and the more you learn
about them, the more you like and root for them. There
are lots of twists and turns in Vaughan and Lydia's
relationship but I love the chemistry between them and
the friendship that gives way to fireworks. The Dive Bar serves as a nexus for Vaughan's family and
friends, drawing people together who otherwise would have
no other reason to stay connected. Just about every
character in DIRTY is at a crossroads in their life and I
enjoy trying to guess which direction they will turn. The
main characters and supporting ones are flawed yet
entertaining. Vaughan's sister Nell is one of the many
characters who leaps off the page and I enjoy the
friendship she develops with Lydia. This friendship
between two women comes at a time when both of them could
really use a friend the most. DIRTY is a maelstrom of sexiness with a lot of laughs and
a few tears mixed in. Kylie Scott transforms the mundane
into magnificent with idiosyncratic characters and great
storytelling. I can't wait to find out what happens with
Vaughan's sister and a few other characters in future
books!

SUMMARY
Love—on the rocks…. The last thing
Vaughan Hewson expects to find when he returns to his
childhood home is a broken hearted bride in his shower, let
alone the drama and chaos that come with her. Lydia
Green doesn't know whether to scream or cry in a corner.
Discovering the love of your life is having an affair on
your wedding day is bad enough. Finding out it's with his
best man is another thing all together. Just when
this runaway bride has nowhere left to turn, a handsome
stranger offers her a broad, muscular shoulder to cry on.
Vaughan is the exact opposite of the picture perfect,
respected businessmen she's normally drawn to. This former
musician-turned-bartender is rough around the edges and is
facing his own crossroads. But Lydia's already tried Mr.
Right and discovered he's all wrong--maybe it's time to give
Mr. Right Now a chance. After all, what's wrong with
getting dirty? Dirty is the first book in the
Dive Bar series from bestselling author Kylie Scott.
