Dirty Promises: A Friends to Lovers Rock Star Romance (Dirty Texas Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,495 ratings

SHE WAS EVERYTHING I ALWAYS WANTED

I’m Christian Taylor, world famous guitarist of Dirty Texas.
I’m a certified rock god, I have a reputation, tattoos and a body made for sin.
One look from me and I’ll melt your panties.
There isn’t a woman out there who has ever said no to me, except Vanessa Roberts, the one woman I want above all and can’t have.

HE WAS EVERYTHING I COULD NEVER HAVE

Never fall in love with a rock star, it will only lead to heartbreak.
Well that’s easier said than done especially when that rock star is your best friend, room-mate and client.
Christian is off limits, I’ve learnt the hard way to never mix business and pleasure but after five years of resisting him, my resolve is starting to crumble.
One little taste can’t hurt, can it?

    These Dirty Texas boys are setting some high standards for my other book boyfriends to live up to! LOL! Book 2, Dirty Promises, focuses on Christian and Vanessa. If you have not read Book 1, Wyld & Dirty, I would recommend you go back and read it first. You do not have to - the author does a great job via flashbacks that explain how these two first met and came to be so close. I personally like going in order because not only are we getting the main characters story - but the author has some great plots in these books that carry from book to book. I knew when I met christian and Vanessa in Book 1 I couldn’t wait to read their story and it was even better than I had anticipated.

    Christian Tyler would have tied himself to Vanessa early on had they not worked together. From the first time they have a one night stand that turns into a weekend long sex fest you know this boy is hooked on Vanessa. But since they work together Vanessa refuses to be anything other than friends. That eventually turns to friends with benefits. And the benefits are HOT. Pretty sure my kindle almost melted on a few of these scenes.

    Vanessa was one of my favorite characters right from the get go. I was so glad to finally learn why she kept Christian in the friends zone for so long! She is so sassy and spunky and I love the way she handles the Dirty Texas boys.

    My favorite genre is Rockstar Romance and I am extremely picky about which books I like. So far this series is one of my all time favorites. What I thought was exceptionally well done in this book was the inclusion of a story talking about BRCA mutation and being tested for the gene. Women all over face this struggle and bringing it into the story I thought was beautiful. Kudos Ms. Low for this!

    Now I am on to Book 3. I cannot wait to see what Christian’s twin will do when he meets his “one.” He is just so sure his bandmates are crazy for settling down. You know he is about to fall hard!

    I also cannot wait to see what glimpses we get to see of how married life is treating Evan and Christian and their growing families. Oh, I really can’t wait to see what Derrik is up to. He is one of my absolute favorites and I hope we eventually get to see him get his “one.”

    Suddenly Together is Christian and Vanessa's story. They were introduced in Suddenly Dirty! I recommend reading in order to really get to know the characters.I gave this book 4.5 stars because the first 50% is basically a repeat of book 1 before getting to Christian and Vanessa story. The story is REALLY good, I wish there was even more. They are best friends even roommates, but he wants more. Vanessa is afraid he will break her heart and their friendship won't be the same if things don't work out. Christian is hurt when Vanessa doesn't want more with him and lashes out by hanging out with "groupies" in front of her. Vanessa moves out and they both are miserable. When Vanessa gets some news that forces her to go home for a month, Christian realizes how horrible he has been. He fights really hard to win back at the very least their friendship. This book has surprises, funny banter,and the sex is HOT! Does he end up with the girl? Can they get past the hurt? A Must Read! Great series.

    🔥This is the story of Christian and Vanessa, and you have to read Suddenly Dirty and Suddenly More before you read Suddenly More to get how fantastic Suddenly Together really is....We all know Christian and Vanessa, while they are completely on fire, are two halves of one heart, but even with that much love, the road to happiness is sometimes bumpy...If the talent of JA Low hasn't been proven to you yet, Suddenly Together will be the proof you need....This is another hot, love story...in my opinion, the story of Chris and Ness is even hotter than Evan's and Sienna's story, but JA Low proves how fearless she is by including an extremely important, although rsnot so hot, subject in Suddenly Together, and proves love can overcome any obstacle.....This book is probably my favorite of the series, but without reading the other two first (and I believe they MUST be read first), you won't understand why....Thank you JA Low for another fantastic book and for bringing to light a subject no one wants to even think about much less face and deal with!!!! 🔥

    How about some Dirty Texas?! Hell yeah, especially when we are talking about sexy Christian who just happens to live every man’s fantasy from being a rock star with groupies galore to living a life full of debauchery and good times. Then there is Nessa who has been shamed by some heartless people in her life which has made her make some unwise choices in the love department. Nessa literally ran into Christian and it was Christian who came to Nessa’s rescue and from that point on it began a friendship of the highest kind. But what happens when things turn more serious between these “friends”? Can Nessa put up with all the groupies who throw themselves at her best friend and does Chris have it in him to be able to look past all of the women to see what is really important to him?

    This is a book that will keep you turning pages because you just hope and pray that these two people will realize what they have before they blow it all apart. Ms. Low also hits on some very emotional topics as far as breast cancer is concerned and did a stellar job in bringing a very soul searching decision to the forefront. This is my first time reading this author and I have to say I’m hooked. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the guys in Dirty Texas and what hot stories will unfold for each of them.

    I really didn't think JA Low books could get any better, but BOY was I wrong!!! I freaking loved the story of Christian and Vanessa. Christian is one HOT bad boy and made me go gah gah!!!!! Yep! I said that out loud. But I also have to admit I did want to slap with up the side of head for being a stupid dick as well.

    I heart bled for Vanessa, but she was also her worst enemy at times, gahh! the angst. It was great to catch up with the rest of the band and I am so looking forward to the next chapter in the INSANELY Fab Series!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A best friends Romance
    Reviewed in India on February 20, 2021
    As said by the author "She was everything he always wanted and He was everything she could never have."
    Christian and Vanessa have been best friends for 5 years while they harbour feelings for each other. Christian is afraid to share his feelings worried that he might loose his friend on the other hand Vanessa cannot reciprocate to his feelings because of her past. What happens when Chris confesses his feelings. Will they be able to overcome from the shadows of past or loose the destined love along with their friendship?
    "Suddenly Begins" is the after story which is really sweet.
    Again Derrick plays a vital role along with the other characters always supporting all the females in Dirty Texas family😁.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This series gets better and better
    Reviewed in Australia on November 4, 2016
    Yes, more of the Dirty Texas boys!

    If you have read the first book and the novella, you have met Christian and Vanessa.

    Running on the same timeline as the first book, we now get their story.

    And what a story!

    It is sweet, sexy, sizzling hot. It is heartfelt and emotional. It was so much more than I was expecting - and after the previous reads, my expectation were high.

    From laughter to tears, from happy to sad, angry and emotional - I felt it all with Suddenly Together.

    I wanted to slap some sense into them both, I wanted to hug them, to get smashed with them, to be the shoulder they needed to cry on.

    And Vanessa - gah, silly woman, I wanted to shake some sense and tell her that if she didn't want her best friend as more than friends, I would take her place!

    Each installment in the Dirty Texas series just keeps getting better and better. Ms Low weaves the stories together seamlessly and had me wanting more.

    I can't wait to see what she brings us next

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hot!
    Reviewed in Australia on December 8, 2016
    I loved reading this story about Vanessa and Christian! The first two books gave a glimpse into their fiery, hot mess of a romance! Although it is a little surprising what happens in this storyline apart from the one I was expecting! It was lovely to see glimpses of Evan and Sienna and Axel as well as Derrick! If you have read the first two in this series then you will not be disappointed in this third instalment! If you haven't then you HAVE TO!! Thoroughly enjoyed!

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2018
    This was an enjoyable story. Although like Suddenly Dirty I did find it hard to get into, but for very different reasons. As with this story it was more to do with the will they won't they scenario between Vanessa and Christian. That plays out for the majority of thebook. Which I'm not a huge fan off anyway and honestly I hoped this story would pick up where Suddenly More ended. Rather than right back at the beginning of Christian and Vanessa's relationship. As it meant that the chemistry that was there between Vanessa and Christian in the beginning is somewhat missing by the time they get together for good. And I did think Vanessa forgave Christian far too easily. Even though I kind of understand the reason why he reacted the way he did. Because even I did not understand why Vanessa was so against being in a relationship with Christian. Especially as it was obvious she loved him and seemed to change her mind about everything pretty quickly.

    Yet I did think this was a good read, and there were more things I liked than I didn't. Plus all the characters in this series are very likable. Even though there are a lot of them and I will certainly be checking out Axels story. As well as the novella that continues Christian and Vanessa's story. And I would also also recommend this story to others. Especially if your a fan of Rock Star romance.
