Dirty Charmer (The Bodyguards Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

Abigail Haddock is stunning, sensible, and some would say…stuffy. But it’s not really her fault. She was raised in one of Wessco’s oldest, most affluent, aristocratic families—“stuffy” is their middle name. So is successful. Abby’s working overtime to distinguish herself as a top-notch physician, just as her family legacy demands.

She doesn’t have time for nonsense.

Tommy Sullivan’s all about nonsense.

Sure, he’s an elite bodyguard with lethal skills and co-owner of the renowned, S&S Securities Firm—protector of the wealthy and titled. But he’s also rowdy, fun and thoroughly irresistible.

Tommy knows how to have a good time, and he’s never seen someone more in need of a good time than Abby. The lass needs long, wet, filthy kisses—STAT—and he’s just the man for the job.

It doesn’t take long for a wildly sexy, sinfully satisfying, no-strings attached arrangement to turn into something more. Something sweet and addictive and real. But Tommy and Abby are too royally stubborn to admit it.

Opposites attract, everyone knows that. But can their red-hot relationship last—can they love…for forever?

So beautiful. So breathtaking. So smoldering. So soulful. SO EVERYTHING.
“You’re going to be the death of me, lass.”Tic-toc. Be still my beating heart! Dirty Charmer broke me out of my year-long romcom rut, casting a spell on me. Oh. My. Swoon! I was so smitten with this love story that’s stunning, sweet, sexy, and so smartly written. Emma Chase seduced me with her wonderfully witty and heartwarming writing—crafting a story with characters so endearing and entertaining—that I fell fast in love with this fairytale full of feels.Tic-toc. I’ve awaited Tommy’s story ever since meeting him in Prince Nicholas’s Royally Screwed. Emma Chase returns readers to Wessco, land of the Royally world full of kings, queens, princes, and princesses. Dirty Charmer is the classic opposites attract story with a fairytale feel. Tommy is a dirty talker, charmer, and oh so funny, and he meets his opposite of a soulmate, the beautiful brainiac, Abby. Tommy is the pop of color in Abby’s gray world, and she keeps him grounded. Together, they are a fusion of fire and ice who burn, stunning and special soulmates whose story I’m glad Emma Chase told.Tic-toc. The melt-worthy hero’s “lasses” were Cupid’s arrows, shooting me straight in the heart, while this humorous and heart-felt tale was my kryptonite. Tic-toc. I read this romance with both a big swoon-filled, sappy smile on my face and tears in my eyes from the feels, as Dirty Charmer charmed me everywhere. It made me melt. It made me breathless. It made me laugh out loud. It made me frustrated. It made me feel. This romance is poetic and passionate, bold and beautiful, smoldering and sweet, and oh so magical.Tic-toc. My heart still beats for Dirty Charmer. Tic-toc. I was swept away to Cloud Nine and still can't stop floating!!! Tic-toc. I couldn’t stop smiling and swooning and feeling!!! Dirty Charmer is a delicious dream of a romance with heat, humor, and all the heart. So beautiful. So breathtaking. So smoldering. So soulful. So everything. I bestow all the stars to this starry-eyed, spellbinding story. Tic-toc. I need more of this royally good romance and top 2020 read!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ heart-charming stars

Emma’s books are like the famous saying “Calgone take me away”!! I am now changing it to “Emma take me away”! Away I went from the first page to the perfect ending hours of pure bliss.
Every time I read one of her stories they make me smile, laugh, swoon and just so damn happy.
Tommy and Abigail’s story was the perfect get away into her magical writing style. Jam packed with all the the feels and a perfect title Tommy was definitely a Dirty Charmer.
If you are a fan of Emma’s this is another must read.

"Shame is for losers—which is why I have none."

Emma Chase is a safe bet. If you're in a funk and want to wallow in the unfairness of life? Fugettaboutit. This Dirty Charmer won't let you. Tommy Sullivan is one of the sexiest, cheekiest, most laid-back heroes you'll ever read about and he'll sweep you off your feet and steal your heart a second later.

Abby Haddock is driven and, yes, a little stuffy. In a family of overachievers she feels ordinary and average and an urge to excel. Enter Tommy, unconventional and so the opposite of what she thinks she needs. What Abby needs though is some balance to her stressful job so an arrangement with benefits with a beautiful bodyguard who challenges her might just be the thing. What was supposed to be fun and a stress-reliever soon turns into so much more. Tommy does his thing, you know, the feet-sweeping and heart-stealing, chases her with the tenacity of bulldog and Abby tumbles head over heels and so totally unexpected that she doesn't brace for impact.

It's hard to resist Tommy. Always a cocky grin and a comeback on his lips he will entertain you throughout the entire story. Emma Chase knows how to write a lovable man-ho with a soft heart who will stay a rogue even after he has been tamed. I really liked that Abby took her time to figure things out - a little reserved and emotionally stunted she needed to analyze the consequences of their relationship from every angle. But Tommy also softened her, made her stronger, lighten up a little and have fun. And he makes her feel extraordinary and special, a feeling she isn't familiar with. I adored their relationship which is so full of laughter and honesty and tenderness.

Emma Chase connects this book directly to her Royally series. You'll see some familiar characters - I delight in those reunions. I love catching up with heroes and heroines from previous books! I've been waiting for DIRTY CHARMER a long time. It was so worth it. I had so much fun watching Abby and Tommy fall in love and enjoyed every minute with them. And damn their chemistry, DAYUM. Emma Chase has a knack for writing super-endearing characters in sexy, cute stories. I can't wait to see whose book will be next!

Dirty Charmer by Emma Chase
Very good. After a rocky start (where I might have DNF'd if Emma Chase wasn't a favorite author) I thoroughly enjoyed this kind of an opposites attract story. They're both alphas and totally focused in their careers, but she's more of a Type A while he's easy going even though very aggressive and competitive. The fun is watching him relentlessly pursue her, in a fun way, while she fights what they both see as her attraction to him.

Abby: pressured by her exceptional family to be not just exceptional, but the best, results in her single mounted focus to become a world renowned heart surgeon, to the exclusion of a personal life. Tommy (Logan's associate from Royally Endowed): bodyguard to the Royals has set out w/ partner Logan to open a company to provide security services to the elite.

They meet in the hospital where Abby is monitoring comatose Tommy. He awakens and kisses the ever living heck out of her, making her lose emotional control for a moment. This will not do! A long time passes, both remembering the other, when he's contracted by her family to be her bodyguard. The fun begins.

I love Emma Chase’s Royally series and was super excited to listen to this one. However, it fell a little flat for me. I liked Tommy and Abby well enough, but I didn’t fall in love. I guess I’m over the whole let’s just hook up and not love each other troupe. 🙄

The male narrator took some time for me as I didn’t care much for him, but eventually he grew on me.

Overall 3 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars I want my own Tommy

I received an ARC for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I wish oh so much I had started Emma’s Royal Trope before Tommy’s book. I loved this book so much.

Abby Haddock may be a surgeon in training, but she lives her straight-laced life to the tee. Having come from a family of overachievers she strives for the very best without getting distracted. I loved Abby and could relate to her. My family has a lot of doctors, while I work in the ER field, I don’t have an MD or Ph.D. at the end of my title.

“Tommy Sullivan is a beautiful whirlwind that I can’t let myself get caught up in.”

Tommy Sullivan is the outgoing bodyguard and I fell in love with him immediately. Tommy is the playboy, yet no woman can hold his attention as Abby can. I think everyone is going to fall in love with Tommy as easily as I did. Though I don’t know if I would be able to hold his attention as Abby did.

“You know what they say about men with big brains, don’t you?
“We’re big everywhere?”

Abby and Tommy decide to have a “no strings” arrangement, but will Abby be able to go back to her boring life of becoming a surgeon or will she realize that Tommy brought color into life and pure happiness and miss it.

Dirty Charmer is what I expect from opposites attract romance. Written so well I need to catch up on the rest of the books. Seriously you don’t want to miss out on this series at all! I highly recommend this book.

What a great dirty sexy story to finish off the "Royally" series by E Chase. Tommy and Abby's characters are really well developed, making it easy to identify with them. The story has a very good flow, never boring and a pleasure to listen to. Well worth it.
