Dirty Bad #1
Dirty Bad Wrong
They call him Masque. I call him God. The man I want to consume me, own me, break me and corrupt me. Yet I've never seen his face. His body ripples like an Adonis, sculpted in steel and dripping in sin. His flesh is inked with the mark of the chimera - one body, two very different halves. He plays hard. He plays rough. He has no limits. He's so fucking dirty bad wrong. But I love him for it. *** Lydia Marsh is always the strong one. The girl who never breaks, and sure as hell never cries. She's got it all - the perfect little life in cosy suburbia, with her perfectly nice boyfriend, and their perfectly sufficient sex life. She's even got her perfect little career plan all wrapped up at Trial Run Software Group. But when it all falls apart, and Lydia's pretty, green eyes are fixed on a brutally sexual stranger - the man they call Masque - she comes to suspect that being strong isn't all it's cracked up to be. For now Lydia wants something she's never wanted before... And she wants Masque to give it to her. **Warning - this novel contains graphic sex, and hardcore elements of BDSM. There are scenes of violence (consensual) as well as sexual practices some readers may find offensive. If you aren't turned on by dirty bad wrong sex then please walk on by. Thank you.***

This happens when you choose a random number/book on your kindle for your next read and knows absolutely nothing about what's hitting you. The title was a warning, but did I listen? No, but I should have.
All the BDSM was not the problem, cause it's helping better than any sleeping pills could ever. But when I reached the part where the heroine pisses in the Hero's mouth and he was drinking every drop of it like the fountain of life that he thinks it is, I was wide awake again and couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. Now I'm grumpy and have a headache. ✨
Note: Had I read the author's note or ANY kind of reviews before starting Dirty Bad Wrong , I would have liked it better and with better I mean I would have never read it. The lesson here? I hate surprises. 💀

TOP 4 DIRTY BAD WRONG CLEANING TIPS
#4: Cleaning Squirty Sheets.
"I was suddenly aware of wet sheets clinging to my thighs. 'Did I piss? I’m so sorry!'
'That’s not piss, Cat. That’s the beginning of a squirt. Give it enough practice and you’ll be gushing across the room like the porno squirt queens.' "
SOLUTION: Evacuate & Incinerate.
#3: Eradicating Foreign Spit.
"He hacked up a healthy gob of spit straight into my mouth. I swallowed his filthy gift down and opened my mouth wide for more."
SOLUTION: Sterilize. Cleanse. Purify. Incinerate.
#2: De-Puking Boyfriends.
“He rammed his cock inside my mouth so hard I gagged. I felt fluid rush up from my stomach. I paled in horror as fluid surged from my mouth, drenching Masque’s stomach and running down his thighs in a river of pure embarrassment.”
SOLUTION: Hose Down. Fumigate. Wrap in Plastic. Incinerate.
#1: Total & Complete Urine Purge.
" 'I’m going to piss, James!'
'Good girl.' He dropped to his knees.
I moaned as the surge erupted.
He drank from me, swallowing some, the rest dribbling down his chin."
SOLUTION: Nuke Everything. Walk Away.
SERIOUSLY, THOUGH: If you’re a clean freak like me, Dirty Bad Wrong, by Jade West, will most likely skeeve you out. But, if you enjoy being pushed way past your comfort zone, this book will definitely do it. It’s well written and gives some serious feels. In my case, mostly skin crawls and involuntary gagging. Kudos to the author for giving me nightmares! And while I found the hero shallow and cowardly, the heroine was okay and I liked her friends Bex and Cara a lot.
Seeewww… That’s it! Should you be brave enough to experience Dirty Bad Wrong for yourself, make sure your blowtorch is in good working order.
WARNING: I am a trained, cleaning professional. My fictional DBW cleaning tips are extremely dangerous. Do not attempt them at home.

NOW… TO MY GOODREADS BFF ASHLEYJO…. I’ve got 2 things to say to you: Thanks for the recommendation; and…

I just had to read a book with a warning like this......
**Warning - this novel contains graphic sex, and hardcore elements of BDSM. There are scenes of violence (consensual) as well as sexual practices some readers may find offensive.
If you aren't turned on by dirty bad wrong sex then please walk on by. Thank you.***
I was ready for all the dirty, bad and wrong Ms West could unleash and I wasn't disappointed because this is seriously filthy and seriously dirty. It pays to heed the warnings because these two play hard and fast and this will push most readers limits I think. Also, there's a domme and some girl on girl action which I know puts a lot of people off but don't be because Rebecca, Mistress Raven, the domme in question is a very likeable character and the scenes just work really well in the story.
And so we have James Clarke, Chief Technical Officer by day, suited, booted, hot as hell but extremely guarded and private. By night he transforms into Masque, super hot inked sadist dom who likes to play hard and fast, no commitments and he never mixes the two. Until Lydia Marsh, one of his project managers, sheds a few unguarded tears in the office after a break up from her very vanilla and cheating snake of a boyfriend. Little does she realise that her sadist boss is seriously turned on by breaking a woman down to tears under his cane and now he can't get the thought of those watery green eyes out of his head.
A couple of business trips away, a few too many glasses of wine and the lines get blurred and of course they stumble across them and succumb to that all consuming incendiary physical attraction that they share. Lydia slowly realises that she is submissive, in fact a total pain slut, and James relishes in pushing her limits.
This is completely FILTHY, DIRTY AND GORGEOUS and I adored every second. It's sexy as sin while also being really quite romantic and it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a hardcore erotic BDSM romance with no holds barred, plenty of edge play and it's HOT AS HELL! I adored both James and Lydia and really wanted them both to get over their issues and realise what they have together. Of course, it's going to take the whole novel but, oh boy, will you enjoy their sizzling hot route to get there!
I believe this is a debut by Jade West who states in the book that she's a real liFe submissive so we have to wonder some of this comes from personal experience. It's highly accomplished for a debut and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. I'll definitely be reading it.
So, if you like a hot, inked, commanding sadist dom, a pain slut of a submissive who's just learning the ropes (pun totally intended), an edgy, angsty romance with plenty of edgetastic BDSM scenes then look no further. Dirty Bad Wrong is absolutely everything that enticing synopsis promised it would be.
4 FILTHY DIRTY GORGEOUS STARS
February 22, 2015
3.5 - 3.75 STARS
Well...this was for sure one interesting read. “Dirty Bad Wrong” was raw, gritty, intense, dirty, at times a little weird and maybe disturbing. It was like nothing I’ve read so far, because it wasn't just a simple BDSM novel. It was a hardcore BDSM novel. So, if you’re expecting hearts and flowers, this is definitely not the book for you. Also, if you’re expecting a sweet little Sub and an alpha Dom, again, this is not the book for you. “Dirty Bad Wrong” contains a lot a graphic sex scenes and also contains scenes of violence, but consensual violence. I’m must admit I didn’t know what to expect, but once I read the blurb I was intrigued, even if BDSM is not my genre of choice.
Lydia Marsh has recently left her cheating boyfriend. She’s homeless, but at least she has a job that she loves. Even if she’s hurting she can admit her ex didn’t satisfy her in bad, that he didn’t gave her what she craves. What no one else knows is that Lydia is a cutter and she loves pain.
James Clarke is the Chief Technical Officer at the firm where Lydia works. He’s perfect at everything. He’s confident, polished and faultless. But James has a secret - he gets off on pain. He’s a Dom who not only wants to satisfy his subs, but a Dom who wants to break them as well. He craves their tears and he loves the bruises his cane can make on their skin. By night he becomes Masque, one of the most sadistic, but wanted Dom at ‘Explicit’, a BDSM Club.
Lydia knows James only by reputation. When they met one morning at work in the break room James is fascinated by her. She's crying and she's so sad, but yet she's so beautiful. He wants her, he wants to be the one who makes her cry, he wants to kiss her tears, he wants to be his.
But he has a rule ‘Fuck no-one you know, and know no-one you fuck.’
James wants to help Lydia find a place to stay, so he proposes to her to be his friend’s Rebecca roommate. Lydia finds herself at ‘Explicit’, he sees Masque with a submissive and she wants so bad to be in her place. She wants to feel alive and she wants to be free. She’s sure this man with a chimera tattoo can give her want she needs.
This was for sure a dirty read and for a debut I must say it was a great novel. I liked both main characters individually and together. Lydia was a great heroine. I love a heroine who knows what she wants. And Lydia figured it out pretty quickly. She has her issues, but she's strong and for sure knows how to handle ‘a little’ pain. James, like Lydia has his own issues. I understood his point and I also understood why he changed so abruptly through the end. He is hot as hell and his filthy mouth is just delicious. To say the sex scenes were off the charts hot will be an understatement. They were kinky (most of them), they were intense, and like James - they were dirty, they were bad, they were wrong.
Overall, I liked the relationship between Lydia and James. There are good together and clearly they are good for each other. But I must say that at times I felt James was a little too cold and distant. Also, I didn’t felt too much chemistry or a very strong connection between them so obviously I didn’t felt their love. The plot was decent. I wish it was a little different at times, but like I said, for a debut it was a good read.
This was my first hardcore BDSM novel and I’m still surprised that I enjoyed as much as I did. The author did a really great job portraying this interesting lifestyle and the ‘real’ relationship between a DOM and a SUB.
There are some F/F scenes, not very long or descriptive, but they didn’t bothered me. Actually, I enjoyed them.
I enjoyed the writing which at times was descriptive, but in a good way, so I’m looking forward to read more from this author.
Overall, a great read!

Dirty, Bad And Oh So WRONG!
Whew! What a kinky, depraved story! I love a good dark-themed story, but this book dealt with topics that made me cringe and gag. I wondered if some was added in for the shock factor.
There just wasn't any way for this story to recover in my eyes after the Hero drank the heroine's urine. Everybody has their limits and that was one of mine. Yuck!
Even though I couldn't get past the urine-drinking, I have to say that the characters were likable. I struggled with the more extreme kinks, but did enjoy the forbidden workplace romance. The angst and turmoil was doled out in just the right amount to be compelling, while not overdone.
If it weren't for the urine drinking, I'd probably jump right in and start reading the second book. I still might at a later date. Right now, I'm terrified that the sequel might have the heroine pooping on the Hero's head, or something equally disgusting. So, for now, I'll pass.

5 Control Freak Stars ⭐
YOU need to be reading this series if you enjoy well written filthy erotica that also tugs on the heartstrings. Somehow, I have read the Dirty Bad series in reverse, which is completely irrelevant because each book has been amazing.
"Lydia Marsh, I think we have us a pain slut. Maybe Cinderella shall go to the ball after all."
James Clarke and Lydia Marsh are co-workers who develop an unexpected friendship. When Lydia breakdowns at work after her ex cheats, it is James that offers her assistance and support by finding her a housemate. What he didn’t envision was how their lives would become so delicately entwined.
"Fuck no-one you know, and know no-one you fuck."
You see James has a private side that not many are privy to. As a sadist and a regular on the kink scene, he keeps work and personal very separate.
As Lydia is now rooming with his James’ bestie Raven, a night out at sex club ‘Explicit’ has Lydia stumbling across a sex scene that has her mesmerised. And she wants every part of the man that calls himself Masque.
"I’m going to hurt you now, Lydia Marsh. I’m going to mark you, and break you, and own you... and then I’m going to make you cum so hard you’ll scream my name. Will I tell you what I need? I need to see you cry, Lydia."
With James’ identity revealed, they embark on a consensual, casual fuck fest that easily develops to more. I don’t say this lightly, there are no vanilla taste buds in sight, and could pose uncomfortable for many readers. But to me they were perfect. This was unconventional romance at its best.
"Maybe white knights did turn up to slap your clitoris, after all? Maybe that’s what true love is all about?"

I want him to:
Own Me
And then I want him to:
Love Me
F*ck no-one you know, and know no-one you f*ck

I craved the salty tang of tears, straight from a broken woman's eyes
Some elements are similar to "Fifty Shades of Grey" in regards to the lip biting, and the male character "James" wearing a mask to hide his identity..
She bit her lip, just like she always does, and this time I really did suck it into my mouth, I kissed her like my life depended on it.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 Damn-dirty-I-gotta-get-me-some-more STARS!!!
It took me a while to write this review because my thoughts were still...percolating.
Let’s just get the preliminaries out of the way here…
We have here one Ms Lydia Marsh who has just found out that her now ex-boyfriend, Stuart, cheated on her. Packing up and calling it quits she heads on over to work. Upon arriving, still emotionally charged, she starts crying and at the sight of her tears and angst, Mr. James Clarke, comes along.
She becomes a newfound submissive, learning the ropes of a new lifestyle she never thought she would enjoy. She has a strong interior and a submissive streak.
James Clarke is a hard working CTO of a Trial Run Software group. He’s a dominant, secretive and private person. Along the way he had an ex-wife who left him somewhat traumatised in entering relationships in fear of his ‘sex’ life being revealed.
He is one fine piece of ass!!
And this in no way completes his story. Mr. Clarke secretly moonlights at Explicit and becomes the infamous Masque.
Masque will fulfil all your hidden desires. He will:
Hurt you…
Cane you…
Chain you…
Mark you…
Bring you pleasurable pain…
But most of all he will want your tears and will stop at nothing and will do anything possible to gain them.
Although she has a minor role in the story, Ms Rebecca aka Bex aka Mistress Raven , warrants a bio. Lydia ends up living with Rebecca and she plays a central role to introducing Lydia to being a submissive. Yes, this does include two mild f/f scenes that for some might be a turn off but for others, like me, believe it helps the story along. She becomes a great friend to Lydia and a great character in the novel.
As soon as I had finished reading this novel, here’s what happened…
“I spent my whole life trying to be strong, trying not to cry, but I was wrong. Breaking isn’t weak, James, it’s strong. Being able to wear your heart on your sleeve and let other people see your pain, that’s strong…”
It was such an extraordinary original read and brought a new experience to the BDSM realm. My favourite scene was when she first meets the elusive ‘Masque’. The scene he is playing with his sub was extremely hot. You can’t help but have a reaction.
I also loved the ending. James Clarke was one sly hunk, putting the last moves he could to keep his relationship going with Lydia. It showed how much of a dom and a man he truly was.
In its entirety this novel brought a new experience to my BDSM table. You were able to experience everything first hand. This novel being written by a submissive just brings the reading experience to a whole new level.
I had my sister read this after I did and made sure to ask her about it afterwards. She said that ‘the way it was written and explained makes me in the future want to try some stuff, not the heavy stuff going on, but the tame stuff.' This just shows how uniquely written this was.
That make or break scene, the ‘bathroom’ scene. I understand why some people may be immediately turned off but it lives up to the books title ‘Dirty Bad Wrong’. So in all fairness expect a lot of DIRTY things going on.
My only complaint was that I wanted to hear more about ‘Katreya’. She’s only briefly mentioned and more detail into her story would be perfect.
Other than that a terrific story! Nothing will ever come close to something extraordinary like this. Sometimes you just have to take the chance and experience other things.
Thank you Barbara for the buddy read! If it wasn’t for you I would have put this book off for a long time!
Of all things Dirty Bad Wrong this read will grip you and hold you tight!!
“Thank you… Thank you for breaking me.”I think this was the first time I have ever read a story so damn fast and still absorbed EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. Warning: Spoilers ahead!

We have here one Ms Lydia Marsh who has just found out that her now ex-boyfriend, Stuart, cheated on her. Packing up and calling it quits she heads on over to work. Upon arriving, still emotionally charged, she starts crying and at the sight of her tears and angst, Mr. James Clarke, comes along.
She becomes a newfound submissive, learning the ropes of a new lifestyle she never thought she would enjoy. She has a strong interior and a submissive streak.
James Clarke is a hard working CTO of a Trial Run Software group. He’s a dominant, secretive and private person. Along the way he had an ex-wife who left him somewhat traumatised in entering relationships in fear of his ‘sex’ life being revealed.
He is one fine piece of ass!!
And this in no way completes his story. Mr. Clarke secretly moonlights at Explicit and becomes the infamous Masque.
Masque will fulfil all your hidden desires. He will:
Hurt you…
Cane you…
Chain you…
Mark you…
Bring you pleasurable pain…
But most of all he will want your tears and will stop at nothing and will do anything possible to gain them.
Although she has a minor role in the story, Ms Rebecca aka Bex aka Mistress Raven , warrants a bio. Lydia ends up living with Rebecca and she plays a central role to introducing Lydia to being a submissive. Yes, this does include two mild f/f scenes that for some might be a turn off but for others, like me, believe it helps the story along. She becomes a great friend to Lydia and a great character in the novel.
“I lived my whole life trapped behind a wall, not daring to let anyone in. All I wanted was to be the strong one, the indestructible one, the one that was so in-control nobody could ever fuck my shit up again…My thoughts:
As soon as I had finished reading this novel, here’s what happened…
I put down my iPad…
Stared aimlessly at the wall for about 6-7 minutes…
Went over every single little detail of the book…
For 15 minutes I kept repeating loudly ‘damn, damn, holy mother of all…damn. James oh James. James, James, James…’ whilst, I am also ashamed to admit, laughing pretty damn creepy…
I then looked up around me and was staring into seven open-mouthed, stunned faces…of my family thinking I needed to go to a mental institution.
“I spent my whole life trying to be strong, trying not to cry, but I was wrong. Breaking isn’t weak, James, it’s strong. Being able to wear your heart on your sleeve and let other people see your pain, that’s strong…”
It was such an extraordinary original read and brought a new experience to the BDSM realm. My favourite scene was when she first meets the elusive ‘Masque’. The scene he is playing with his sub was extremely hot. You can’t help but have a reaction.
I also loved the ending. James Clarke was one sly hunk, putting the last moves he could to keep his relationship going with Lydia. It showed how much of a dom and a man he truly was.
“Yes, I’m in love with Lydia Marsh, yes, it’s the real fucking deal, yes, we have a wonderful fucking sex life, thank you very much, and no, she isn’t going to Brighton. Any more questions?”The narrative structure and it’s written components only enhanced my reading experience. It was beautifully done.
In its entirety this novel brought a new experience to my BDSM table. You were able to experience everything first hand. This novel being written by a submissive just brings the reading experience to a whole new level.
I had my sister read this after I did and made sure to ask her about it afterwards. She said that ‘the way it was written and explained makes me in the future want to try some stuff, not the heavy stuff going on, but the tame stuff.' This just shows how uniquely written this was.
That make or break scene, the ‘bathroom’ scene. I understand why some people may be immediately turned off but it lives up to the books title ‘Dirty Bad Wrong’. So in all fairness expect a lot of DIRTY things going on.
My only complaint was that I wanted to hear more about ‘Katreya’. She’s only briefly mentioned and more detail into her story would be perfect.
Other than that a terrific story! Nothing will ever come close to something extraordinary like this. Sometimes you just have to take the chance and experience other things.
Thank you Barbara for the buddy read! If it wasn’t for you I would have put this book off for a long time!
Of all things Dirty Bad Wrong this read will grip you and hold you tight!!

5 STARS!!
What an epic roller coaster of filthy, kinky, well-written, emotional smut.
Plot in a nutshell: After Lydia learns of her boyfriend's infidelity, she grabs a suitcase of clothes and ends up at her office in the early dawn hours. She has a rare break down in the kitchen where her boss, James, finds her . . . which kicks off their relationship.
Gah! This was pretty awesome. I loved the way the author was able to maintain somewhat of a slow burn, but still kept me satisfied with a steady supply of smut. 😁
I generally find S&M to be a hard sell, but I liked this author's take:
My little heart stretched its wings.NEVER has a book been more aptly titled: Dirty Bad Wrong, indeed!
What an epic roller coaster of filthy, kinky, well-written, emotional smut.
White knights don't show up with red roses and metal rulers all ready to slap you on the clitoris.Triggers GALORE, all having to do with BDSM and extreme kink.

I generally find S&M to be a hard sell, but I liked this author's take:
The pain smoothed into a tingle, a really nice tingle, like spidery itches in satin boots, dripping warm treacle over my skin, and there beyond the pain I got a glimpse of the calm place . . . the place the itches lead to.I also liked the way she crafted her main characters, both of whom were very emotionally closed off in the beginning. James because of his ex-wife.
"I don't make deals unless I know all the terms."And Lydia because of her mother.
"I don't vent, I just deal with shit."This story had a nice ring of authenticity to it which allowed me to connect with Lydia and James no matter how far out into left field their kink took them, LOL. 😬😬😬
"He'll hurt you, Lydia. Bad. Really bad. Dirty fucking bad."I totally recommend to all my Dirty Bad Wrong besties - you know who you are! 🥰🥰🥰
"Maybe that's what I want."

Type: Standalone book 1 of Dirty Bad Wrong series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
As the project manager of Trial Run Software Group, Lydia Marsh thought her life was all in order. That was until she left her cheating boyfriend and became homeless. With nowhere to go, she sought solace in her office.
James Clarke, the mysterious, secretive CTO of the company, found her and ended up helping her getting a place to stay with his friend. That was all he’s willing to do because he had a darker side behind a Masque that he was trying to contain. But Lydia’s newfound empowerment and the desire to break out his beast was proving harder and harder to deny.
As the title suggested, the book was Dirty Bad Wrong, but I don’t mind it one bit. It was actually wrongfully (depending on where you place your acceptable sexual behavior bar) fascinating haha!
Personally, I don’t think the things that happened in the book were “wrong”. Yes, there were some scenes that were gag worthy but each individuals has his/her own kink that get them off, so who am I to judge right? And the fact that the author is a real life submissive just added to the allure.
I did like James in both his professional world and his alter ego Masque in his kink world. Though he was commanding as James, I did felt he was less so as Masque. Maybe because we didn’t get to see Masque as much.
He didn’t just want submission. He wanted tears and breakdown.
Lydia was a relatable character. After a personal down, she needed a fresh new perspective in life and she found that in kink. She bottled her emotions up and needed a release in the form of physical pain.
Storywise, it was an entertaining journey into the world of hardcore BDSM. It had a lot of graphic scenes that were both hot and disturbing. However, when it comes to the “soul” of the book, it felt a bit short.
There were several things that could use expanding. For example, there was a character name Katreya that supposed to be significant to James in his past. But her story was left hanging aimlessly.
What was the thing with him and Katreya? Yes it set precedent to his tendencies but what happened to her? How did her presence/absence affected him? There was also Lydia’s past behavior that wasn’t expanded.
My favorite character in the whole book was actually Bex, a Dominatrix, who was James’ friend and Lydia’s housemate.
She was a lot of fun and the one that opened Lydia’s eye to their world. And there were some panty melting f/f scenes!
One of my favorite scenes was definitely the caning. It was intense and I wanted to see what he was asking from her.
This book is all kind of dirty, bad, and wrong. If you don’t mind all that, you might end up enjoying it.
Note:
We’re currently having a TopPick on Fave Kinky Heroes (May 17-23) on Shh.., so I used this book as post materials. You can check out some of the kinky lessons I gather from this book. There are scenes/quotes to help you gauge your interest in this book. There’s sexy gifs too haha!

“Who is he?”
“Masque,” she whispered. “He’s a God here... seriously hardcore. He’s so fucking dirty bad wrong.”

He didn’t just want submission. He wanted tears and breakdown.
What I’d seen in Lydia was real. Beautiful, hot, raw pain; her broken soul peeking out through the cracks in her armour for just one single helpless moment, and I’d seen it. I’d seen her.
Lydia was a relatable character. After a personal down, she needed a fresh new perspective in life and she found that in kink. She bottled her emotions up and needed a release in the form of physical pain.
“That’s not piss, Cat. That’s the beginning of a squirt. Give it enough practice and you’ll be gushing across the room like the porno squirt queens.”

In my mind I saw Katreya’s smile as she disappeared out of sight, goading me to follow her.
What was the thing with him and Katreya? Yes it set precedent to his tendencies but what happened to her? How did her presence/absence affected him? There was also Lydia’s past behavior that wasn’t expanded.
My favorite character in the whole book was actually Bex, a Dominatrix, who was James’ friend and Lydia’s housemate.
“I don’t imagine James would have told you that I sit towards the lesbian end of bi. Is that a problem? I promise I won’t molest you in the night.”
She was a lot of fun and the one that opened Lydia’s eye to their world. And there were some panty melting f/f scenes!
The cane was more savage than ever, blow after blow without pause, and I screamed and screamed and screamed.
“NO! PLEASE, NO!
“CRY FOR ME!” he screamed back. “FOR FUCK’S SAKE, CAT, CRY FOR ME!”
One of my favorite scenes was definitely the caning. It was intense and I wanted to see what he was asking from her.

*** 4 SPANKING STARS ***
I actually really enjoyed this....not as Hard-core as I was expecting, with a bit of this...
A lot of this..
Oh and even more of this
It does have a story that's been done to death...hot controlling man,a bit of a broken girl but it actually stood out for me as being better than most
The sex scenes were very well written..not too long and drawn out but very kinky and one scene in particular was very risky...
The only niggle I had was how Lydia went from being relatively reserved to a dirty talking Sub very quickly...on the subject of dirty talk, well James was all over that!!
All in all, a very gripping read that I would definitely recommend

3.5 Dirty Bad Wrong Stars!
So I'll let you in on a little secret. If I come across a WARNING like this one...
...yeah, it's pretty much a guarantee that I am gonna read the book! And after reading it, I can confirm that it is indeed the most aptly titled book, maybe ever!!
HOLY SHIT!!! I read my fair share of smut, but I have never ever read in depth portrayals of at least two of the acts that went down in this book. And as much as it had me wanting to run for the hills and be like "What? Eww.. Ouch, dude!", I still gotta give it to the girl, she wrote them very tastefully. I think these shock value sex scenes were about as hot and steamy as these particular acts could be written. Oh! And everything in this book was TOTALLY consensual!! Both parties were extremely satisfied at the end so you know, I say... fuck and be happy! To each their own! ;)
I know everyone reviews differently, but for me, a 3.5 star rating does not mean that I didn't like a book. In fact, I did like this book a lot.
The good stuff:
Lydia and James are office colleagues. Lydia just had her heart broken by her two timing skeez ball of an ex-boyfriend. James comes across her at the office and finds her in a weak moment when she is actually crying. And James, being a closet-sadist, has a thing for tears. He's instantly attracted to her but has been burned badly before by office romances so has sworn to himself never to shit where he eats again...huh? Oh God no...they didn't do THAT!!! It's just an expression!! LOL!!
"I had one golden rule. The one I’d never break again. Fuck no- one you know, and know no- one you fuck."
Meanwhile, Lydia's roommate, Bex, takes her to a very elite sex club as a guest where she is instantly enamored by on of the patrons she sees putting on a scene, Masque. Masque is into hardcore BDSM. Pain is the drug that he delivers and tears are all the he wants in return. After just one scene where Lydia plays the voyeur, she is completely fascinated. Lydia has a history of cutting so pain is not an unknown thing to her.
This book is hot as hell!!! It's intense. And it's still strangely romantic as well. My problems were the fact that a couple of story lines were introduced and then, never referenced again. And they were things that genuinely had my attention. Like the cutting habit of Lydia's that I mentioned as well as whatever happened with the character Katreya that was mentioned more than a few times.
It was really frustrating because, I picked the book up for some mindless smut but soon realized that this chick could really write and this had all of the ingredients for a very kick ass story. The execution just wasn't there.
Additionally, I was totally fine with the shock value sex scenes but there was very little intimacy to balance them out, that I really needed from these characters.
In the end, the whole office/ forbidden romance thing came back into play...you know, the kind where everyone in the office is silently watching.
I absolutely loved James and loved that in the end, he really didn't care if he was appearing too vulnerable for Lydia. Swoon!! And this guy was all man, alpha, dirty talking, but wounded and protective too. LOVED HIM!!
"I want to know every part of you, every secret of your body. Every secret."
All in all, strong debut from an author that I know I will be watching. Very tasteful and well-written portrayal of some extremely gratuitous sex acts that are not easy to pull off without massively turning off your reader and disconnecting them from the story. Oh, and I loved Jade's message in the end where she shared with the readers that she is in the lifestyle herself. It shows that she knew what she was talking about.
I really enjoyed this one. Just please, wrap up all your plot lines next time!! ;)
So I'll let you in on a little secret. If I come across a WARNING like this one...
***WARNING***
This book is exactly what it says on the tin. It’s Dirty, it’s Bad, and some readers may find it very, very Wrong. It contains a lot of sex, a LOT, and a collection of sexual practices that some readers may well find offensive. The novel is entirely consensual, but please use your own discretion. Most definitely 18+ only. IF YOU DON’T LIKE READING ABOUT DIRTY BAD WRONG SEX THEN PLEASE WALK ON BY. On the flip side if you DO enjoy Dirty Bad Wrong sex, then I cannot be held accountable for any repetitive strain related injuries that may occur as a result of excessive sexual stimulation. My characters are trained professionals, please do not try some of these practices at home (unless you’re really sure) Thank you. May the reading resume.

Full review now posted
4 promising star!
That's what I call a perfect book at the perfect time! I had a meh read last weekend and I picked this one out of the blue.
I remember reading a review who convinced me to add it in my TBR but then on Sunday evening, I saw Shanny's status and that got my attention! I bought it and started on an impulse!
Best decision EVER
I discover a new author I can't wait to read more about and I have a new "coup de coeur" book in my shelf.
The book wasn't perfect, it has several points missing but the thruth is by the end, I didn't care. Maybe I'm still in book high but seriously I like it as it is.
You meet Lydia Marsch when she left a boyfriend after he cheated on her. She is a little sad, a little lost and without her knowing, this is the beginning of her new life, a new start that will bring her so much. She will assert herself professionally first , she will make new friends and most importantly she will explore her sexuality.
On the other side you have James Clarke, CTO in the company where Lydia works. He is a mysterious man, nobody really knows him and he need it to stay that way.
Little did he know that when on day he decided to grab a cup of coffee, his life was about to take a turn he didn't really want, just by looking in Lydia's sad green eyes.
Be warned this book is most certainly not for everybody. Dirty Bad Wrong is a title that suits the book perfectly. There's a warning at the beginning and take it seriously. There's a lot of sex but to me it wasn't exaggerated. It's a BDSM book and they are in a BDSM club sometimes so of course you get some actions, hardcore actions.
Our heroine doesn't know she has a submissive side but when she gets to meet the right Master, it become a second nature.
Lydia is a strong woman despite what happened to her and her complex relation with her mom. She is also smart, keen and she stands for herself.
I liked how we are introduced in the BDSM world. Maybe the fact the author is a submissive herself help a lot. The scenes felt real, beautifully detailed, not too much, just the correct amount of word to give you the anticipation you need, to feel the emotions both our MC are going trough.
Why not 5 stars if I loved it so much? As I said at the beginning they were several points missing, maybe the book could have been more specific on certains parts.
We have a beautiful story about two people; one afraid to love, who doesn't allow himself to feelagain and another who has a sad past but we never really get a glimpse of it
There's not a lot of romance, James is no boyfriend material by choice but you get to be in his head with his pov and so you get to see his "soft" side.
Overall if you are looking for Dirty sex (and I mean really Dirty... there's a scene where I'm still ew about it)
If you are enjoying wrong and bad BDSM elements and are not scared with some hardcore and painful scenes, grab this book>b> You won't regret it ;)

Be warned this book is most certainly not for everybody. Dirty Bad Wrong is a title that suits the book perfectly. There's a warning at the beginning and take it seriously. There's a lot of sex but to me it wasn't exaggerated. It's a BDSM book and they are in a BDSM club sometimes so of course you get some actions, hardcore actions.
Our heroine doesn't know she has a submissive side but when she gets to meet the right Master, it become a second nature.
Lydia is a strong woman despite what happened to her and her complex relation with her mom. She is also smart, keen and she stands for herself.
I liked how we are introduced in the BDSM world. Maybe the fact the author is a submissive herself help a lot. The scenes felt real, beautifully detailed, not too much, just the correct amount of word to give you the anticipation you need, to feel the emotions both our MC are going trough.
Why not 5 stars if I loved it so much? As I said at the beginning they were several points missing, maybe the book could have been more specific on certains parts.
We have a beautiful story about two people; one afraid to love, who doesn't allow himself to feel
There's not a lot of romance, James is no boyfriend material by choice but you get to be in his head with his pov and so you get to see his "soft" side.
Overall if you are looking for Dirty sex (and I mean really Dirty... there's a scene where I'm still ew about it)
If you are enjoying wrong and bad BDSM elements and are not scared with some hardcore and painful scenes, grab this book>b> You won't regret it ;)

I wasn’t completely sure what to expect with this book. Well, that is not true – I expected some dirty sex and a commanding alpha hero! The author delivered on both those counts plus a good plot with interesting and entertaining characters to boot. So, yes, I enjoyed getting dirty, bad and wrong!
Lydia Marsh is a professional woman who works at the same firm as James Clarke. The book opens with Lydia’s discovery that her live-in boyfriend cheated on her with an office trollop. Lydia is devastated and immediately vacates their apartment. In the process, she unintentionally attracts the attention of James Clarke, CTO of their firm. While James is not Lydia’s supervisor, he is still considered upper management and office romances are not his thing, but Lydia appreciates his sympathetic and very broad shoulder to cry on.
”Lydia Marsh, I think we have a pain slut.”
James Clarke is tall, dark and devastatingly handsome. Each day at lunchtime he hits the gym and it is evident in how his suit jacket drapes over his muscular back and how his pant legs fall over his strong thighs and long legs. Getting the picture? Did I mention that he is British? Yep, he is effin hot! There is more to James than just a hot bod, as he is successful and a good friend, but he also understands the betrayal Lydia feels because he experienced the same infidelity by his ex-wife. Consequently, to avoid any other nasty and emotional entanglements, James has vowed to adhere to his mantra: “Fuck no one you know. Know no one you fuck.”
”I studied the man before me, the hard line of his jaw, his confident smile. His black hair was perfectly tousled, making his dark eyes appear even darker.”
”Masque, she whispered. He’s a God here…seriously hardcore. He’s so fucking dirty bad wrong. Dirty bad wrong? She smiled at me. Dirty. Bad. Wrong. So wrong…but so right. He was certainly imposing in his self-assured calmness….Sculpted from sin, and sex and sweat. His brutality measured, so measured”
At center stage with the sole spotlight is Masque! He is mysterious, bears Chimera tat across his chest and back, dons a mask and is known to be quite the sadist at Club Explicit. While at the club, James becomes his alter ego, Masque, and he takes on a whole different personality!! While engaging with Lydia, (known as Cat at the club), they are able to be themselves with each other – without judgment, pretense or boundaries. It is just them. I enjoyed reading about how supportive the club members are with each other, and for some scenes, I definitely would have been a voyeur to watch Masque!
”You can give me what I need. No boundaries, no barriers, no mask, Lydia, just you and me. I want to know every part of you, every secret of your body. Every secret.”
In addition to liking Lydia and James, I loved Rebecca (Bex) a.k.a. Mistress Raven! She was a perfect complimentary friend to James and Lydia. She was forthright and principled and wasn’t afraid to whip out the punishment as needed. Her submissive, Cara, was sweet and provided a balance to Bex.
What I really enjoyed about this book was the dialogue. At times, it was a challenge to follow due to the formatting, but once I was immersed in the conversation, I felt like a fly on the wall! It really made me connect with Lydia, James, and Bex.
I heard so many things about the sex acts in this book, and while some of those acts aren’t my cuppa, I was curious to see how the author presented such material and how it added to the plot and character development. I have to say that it all made sense for Lydia and James, as these acts paralleled the increased trust for each other and strengthened their connection as a couple. Sometimes I thought Lydia’s progress into the lifestyle seemed a little quick, but I suppose once she embraced it, she let loose – pun intended! Lol! All the sexual acts are completely consensual and conducted in a safe and responsible manner. Ok, now that I’m done with the PSA, I’ll say again that I was entertained and enjoyed this read. Certainly, I will not forget James/Masque!

3-3.5 Cry for Me stars
Dirty Bad Wrong...yep, this title says it all.
After finding out her boyfriend has cheated on her, Lydia Marsh is now single and homeless. The former self harmer, is stressing about her situation, and is feeling the itch to feel pain. Since Lydia is so used to holding her feelings in, she hasn't cried in years. When she finally breaks down at work, she is caught by the company's CTO, James, known as Mr Perfect throughout the office.
Known as Masque, at the sex club Explicit, James Clarke is the epitome of the chimera tattoo on his chest. The two-headed beast represents the duality of his work self, a straight-laced perfectionist, and his weekend life, the sadist who brings subs to tears, his biggest turn-on. His tastes border on the extreme, and he has learned from his past. He will never be in the same situation again. After witnessing Lydia's breakdown, he need to repeat his mantra over and over, and not get involved with his beautiful co-worker.
After traveling together for a work project, things change. After getting to know one another better, the attraction is high.
The two find they can work out, casually. With the pain slut Lydia is finding herself to be, and the ruthless giver of pain that James is, this should be a match made in hell. However, James is very reluctant to repeat history, and is keeping Lydia at arms length.
When the past comes back to the surface, will these two be able to realize that what they share is different?
Although this wasn't an original premise, I still enjoyed it. It was pretty dirty, very bad, and extremely wrong. So yeah, I liked it.
At first I was apprehensive about James. His cold exterior was hard to feel for, but eventually he did grow on me. Also, even though she didn't have a big personality, I still liked Lydia. I was rooting for them as a couple. I thought the pace of their relationship was realistic. Even though they had the hots for one another, they didn't jump on the opportunity right away.
I also liked the side character Rebecca/Bex/Raven. She was James's only friend and confidant and also Lydia's roommate. The sweet Domme was a nice link to get them together.
The story was good, I liked the writing, and for the most part it flowed nicely. I give major kudos to the author for having real-life experience with the subject, and I think it showed.
I think it's obvious, especially noted in the title and the blurb, that if you are sensitive to some squicky situations, this may not be the book for you. I can admit that even though I've heard/ known about a certain act, this was my first time actually reading it in black and white. If you'd like to know what I'm talking about----> As this act may have some people gagging, I honestly wasn't too bothered by it. Its gross, yes, but I think I'm just a believer in different strokes, for different folks... But you've been warned. :)
Overall, if you'd like to read a decent BDSM book, with a lot of dirty, bad, and wrong, I'd recommend this.
To Michelle, who was PMing me with quotes from the book...Thanks for getting me to want to read this sooner rather than later. You know how my mind works, and I love you for that! I laughed my ass off with your messages! The next "wrong" book we come across will have to be read in tandem. xo

5 "Swimming in his darkness" Stars
Dirty Bad Wrong gives all kinds of dirty, bad, wrong in the most right ways. I noticed this book on sale for 99 cents over at The Literary Gossip, saw a couple of my girls liked it so I just started reading. No blurb, no reviews, just reading. Let me tell you, I couldn't put it down. I was sneaking pages at work, devoured it during my lunch break, and ordered pizza last night because I couldn't tear myself away long enough to make dinner.
If you like reading a solid love story wrapped up in hard core BDSM and fetishes then don't pass this Jade West debut novel. Told in dual points of view from both James Clarke and Lydia Marsh, Dirty Bad Wrong delivers a fast paced, well written story of two people fighting against cheating exes while running towards something beautiful, something new they can put their faith and trust in. Lydia Marsh feels drawn to James Clarke from the first she sees him through tear soaked eyes. The feelings are absolutely returned by James Clarke. The story takes off from this point catapulting readers into their Explicit world toggling between the professional relationship of James Clarke and Lydia Marsh and the sexual relationship of Masque and Cat.
Jade West delivered a great BDSM/fetish story with a rock solid love story foundation. The connection between these two I felt every step of the way, their passion, their need, their breaking open, their banter - all easily woven together. There's a draw to this authors writing that makes you just want to keep reading. It's easy, it's fun, it's sexy & edgy, it's writing you can sink your teeth into. I'm so glad I read this book, excuse me devoured this book. If your into reading hardcore BDSM, don't miss Dirty Bad Wrong. But if you're not into this type of book, this isn't for you. There's fetish play included that's not for everybody's reading eyes - be forewarned, the author is also straight up about this recognizing it might turn some people off. Not me though! I'll be first in line to read what Jade West writes next!

**Warning - this novel contains graphic sex, and hardcore elements of BDSM. There are scenes of violence (consensual) as well as sexual practices some readers may find offensive.

The title describes the book perfectly, it's dirty, bad and wrong.

A great read for lovers of BDSM books.

4.5 Cat eyes Stars!
HOLY BDSM Batman!! This book is kink on steroids!
I will admit this pushed me WAAAAAAAY outside of my comfort zone. I’ve read many BDSM/sex club books but this one is appropriately named DIRTY BAD WRONG!
This really was a great storyline. The characters are really good and complex. It certainly kept me interested from start to finish, but I won’t lie, I was UNCOMFORTABLE through several scenes.
Still all in all a good read!

I admit, I read this because well, the cover alone was fab. Then the name and the blurb alone just sold my reading soul!
So that being said, I am not sure what I think exactly about this one. I like it dark and dirty. Nothing really bothers me per se, its fiction and its fun right? So here is how this was for me...
DIRTY: the whole concept. Bad, damaged characters? NO, just really in touch with their inner "hurt me" persona. Lydia/Cat, James/Masque, Rebecca/Mistress Raven...take your pick, they like to light up, to break it down. They like, no they need to scream their pleasure!
Got your attention...
BAD: Well, easy concept here because well the intimacy, the story, the "get to the point of the story, well it takes some bad talking, some bad behavior and some oh so bad moments...or were they?
I cant say that this book made me hot and bothered. I think I treaded slowly...pushed forward with and open mind but kinda guarded emotions.
WRONG: Well, then this here had me feeling a bit on the Icky side. I mean I was following along nicely with the straight and narrow gal who wants the hot colleague. The heart-broken girl whose lackluster life was not missed when she found her BF to be a cheater. I was ok with all the "I need more...I need the pain." I was even ok with the exhibition and the completely new experiences that Lydia rocked the hell out of. Then there was just one scene and I Lost it!!!
UMMMM....WTF?
So perhaps Dirty and Bad would have worked just fine for me but the Wrong was just too wrong!

A FUCKING PLUS for the shock factor. I'm speechless. This title was perfectly picked for the story. It didn't hit me until I got to 60% and then I got to see just how DIRTY BAD WRONG this book really was. But no, it wasn't just the sex. The characters made you feel their need to be dirty bad wrong.
I cringed, I yelled...I even stopped but the story called to me and I just had to know more so in the end, I caved. I’m not sorry. Not even close. My limits were tested and I even found a few hard limits of my own. I still hear that divinely, sexy man demanding those sinfully sweet words…
"Cry for me, Cat, let me taste your beautiful fucking tears." -Masque

I was all sorts of nervous picking up this one because when I see 'dark read', I fear I'm going into a bleak misery-fest, something that may well finish up with an unsatisfactory ending where everyone is still wallowing in sadness. After getting a couple of recommendations from book friends and seeing that blurb, I just had to give this one a go and I'm so glad I did; although this was dark - and quite exceptionally filthy - it wasn't a miserable read at all. James and Lydia are full on, no holds barred, sexual deviants, but this is their love story. And I love a love story. And I really, really love a smutty love story.
James helps his work colleague Lydia out after finding her having an emotional breakdown at work early one morning. Lydia has just left her boyfriend, Stu after he cheated on her. Lydia, along with the rest of the female employees at her company, has always admired James from afar, but he is reserved and intensely private so she's never had the chance to get to know him.
The narrative is in fp, switching between James and Lydia, so we soon learn that there's a whole lot going on inside James' head. Away from his perfectly ordered corporate life, he's a sexual Dom and a sadist who gets his sexual kicks from hard core BDSM. I've read quite a few stories featuring BDSM, but this one felt much darker, much more authentic and made many of the Doms I've read about before seem like cute and cuddly puppies. He's known as Masque (because, guess what, he always wears a mask when he's playing so that nobody at the BDSM club he frequents knows his true identity) and once we get inside his depraved mind we realise he hasn't earned a reputation for being dirty, bad and wrong for nothing.
This book wasn't just erotica; we watch James and Lydia spend more and more time together at work, the sexual tension between them building with every encounter, but James is determined to keep his sex life separate from his professional life and fights his attraction to Lydia. His mantra:
Once Lydia goes to stay with James' friend, Rebecca, she reluctantly accepts that James won't make a move and decides to explore her sexuality, experimenting in ways she'd never even imagined before. She soon discovers that pain is her sexual kink and with Rebecca - aka Mistress Raven - as her willing teacher, she's a very willing student. Lydia accompanies Rebecca to her BDSM club and once she sees 'the Masque' in his gloriously depraved and sensual action, she's totally smitten with him, and what he can do, even though she's oblivious his true identity.
After that build up, once they do finally get it together, then wow...steam was billowing from my kindle. It really was the smuttiest smut I've ever read. Ever. He's a sadist, she's into pain, he loves to push her boundaries and wallow in her body fluids. All of them. Jeez...
Kudos to the author, she somehow made the naughtiness and the depravity of their kink read like a sensual and intimate act so actually, it was kinda intense, even though though it was so, so dirty bad...I still don't know how I feel about that.
This is a complete story and a truly gripping read. I couldn't put this down once I started it. Recommended for erotica and BDSM lovers and fans of darker reads.

I have mixed feelings after reading this book. I can only describe it as "hardcore" compare to books I've previously read. I really loved Jade West's writing style, it sucked you in and I couldn't stop reading. James and Lydia had sizzling chemistry and I liked the secondary characters too. On the other hand, there were several things that didn't work for me. Some were out of my comfort zone, some just little details that I didn't enjoy. James is still married, estranged, yet married when the story takes place. Also, there were moments that weren't my cup of tea. Emetophilia and urolagnia, I'll pass...
P.S. An extra ⭐ because the cover matches the description of the main character's tattoo! It's spot on!

Dark, Dirty and Addictive
Since this book already has so many well written reviews I'll keep mine brief.
The main two characters Lydia and James have both been hurt and betrayed by their partners, Lydia is looking for something but she doesn't know what, James is dark and troubled but he knows exactly what he wants...you know how it goes, the story itself is nothing new but the writing and the characters are what make it compulsive reading.
This is a darker read than I originally expected, I know, I know the title should have given it away but anyway....it was raw, dark and brutal and if I'm being honest a couple of scenes were just too much for me, but despite this I was hooked and with it till the end.

wow.....just.....wow..... I don't really think there are words for how I felt about this book. It was...crazy and intense.....and emotional. ...and I'm pretty much rendered speechless. ....yep. maybe I'll write a review another time haha...or maybe I'll just let you experience this one on your own.

**1 "was that it?" star**
I'm shocked to say this but this is too much kink for me. I love eroticas but I draw the line at anything to do with drinking pee for sexual pleasure, it may be other people's cup of tea (or should I say a cup of piss) but it sure as hell isn't mine. The story was super boring aswell, it's just the usual you know -- seemingly normal girl gets cheated on, meets what she thinks is Mr. Perfect, turns out he isn't and he's some control freak (COUGH FIFTY SHADES AND JUST ABOUT MAJORITY OF BDSM CONTEMPORARY BOOKS) she gets introduced to a world of pain (pun intended wink wink) and then they magically fall in love without actually knowing a solid thing about each other or even dating and it all ends happily ever after.
The book had a weak story line aswell as characters. The female lead? No development whatsoever apart from her realising she's into the bdsm scene. Don't even get me started on the male lead, he was extremely unlikable, unrelatable, had the a boring sob story -- wife cheated on him blah blah blah. Side characters were boring aswell, no individually or uniqueness and didn't add any comedic relief. Plot complications? Nothing really unless we're counting the male lead's "wife" coming back but that shit was over in less than 5 pages.
Disappointed. Couldn't find anything to like about the book. Wouldn't recommend - but that's just my opinion.

Holy shizballs!! The story definitely lives up to the name. This book was D-I-R-T-Y! I mean.. way dirty. Like.. OHMYGAWD ARE THEY REALLY DOING THAT kind of dirty.
Yep. Now, aside from all the epic dirtiness Jade West threw at me.. she also gave me likeable characters and story behind all the raunchiness. A man with walls built up around himself, closing anyone off that might get to close and a woman finally taking control of her life and doing exactly what she wants to do. Their chemistry was explosive and HOT HOT HOT
In all honesty.. there was one little scene that, well.. had me a little wigged out.. OK, A LOT wigged out..But I love when a book pushes boundaries a bit
So if you like it raunchy and dirty.. and again.. I stress Dirty
then give this one a go!
