Down and Dirty

It was wonderful to finally get Bobby's backstory and it was more dirty and painful then I had expected. It nearly broke my heart at how he meet Cole, the reasons for meeting him. This was a hot, slow burn that was funny, sexy and emotional. Bobby really is a slut and Ichiro went in with eyes wide open and wanting Bobby. They are so good together, just so right.

It seems as if I've been waiting for Bobby's story from the very first moment I met him. Once Ichiro came on the scene I knew their story was going to be incredible and I might have pestered the author for a release date. Yes, I know, this book has been out for awhile but life got in my way. It doesn't matter because I knew 'Down and Dirty' would be waiting for me.

"There was something undeniably sexy about Bobby Dawson, a something-bad-to-tangle-with sexy that set warnings off in Ichiro’s common sense each time the man was near, but with every brush of their hands or the rough scrape of Bobby’s voice over his skin, Ichiro knew he was going to end up in deep trouble."

I honestly don't think the author could have ever written a character more perfect for Bobby Dawson than Ichiro Tokugawa. He may be the same age as Bobby's son but he has got life experiences that, in some ways, makes Ichi practically ageless. The fact that Cole warned them both away from each other (and Jae warned Ichi off of Bobby, too) might seem as if that's why they ended up together. I'd have to disagree, though. I think Bobby and Ichi would have gotten to where they were regardless of warnings or even acceptance.

“What I needed was to get fucked—preferably by you, Dawson.” Ichiro let go of Bobby, dropping his own arms to his sides. “But sure, I’ll keep that in mind. Especially when I need a pat on the ass and to be sent on my way.”
“Baby, better a pat on your ass than you kicking mine,” Bobby shot back. “Because that’s what you’ll do to me if I break your heart.”
“Still so fucking cocky, Dawson,” Ichi sneered. “What makes you think it’s my heart that’s going to be broken?”

I really love the way the author wrote this story because the events that occur happen seamlessly with the storyline of 'Dirty Deeds' and made reading Bobby and Ichi's romance much more enjoyable. I don't have the words for how amazing this book was. Thank you, Rhys.

This book is a great addition to the series. I have always love Bobby and finally he found Ichi ... The dynamic between them is explosive. Love the way they learned how to be with each other. And Cole and Jae are super cute in the story too.
