Publisher's summary

On paper I have it all. Wealth, security, and a collection of vehicles that spark envy, even amongst LA’s rich and famous. Money is all I ever wanted, but now that I have it in spades, I’m restless.

For the first time in my life, I want things cash can’t procure. I want a real relationship. Beauty and brains. A salacious little minx who isn’t afraid to call me out. My equal, in and out of the bedroom.

The problem is I have no clue where to find a woman like that.

Imagine my luck when I come upon a curvy, gorgeous maiden in distress, stranded on the side of I-10 like a mirage fashioned from my deepest desires. It’s fate. Kismet.

Only she isn’t impressed. Not by my money, my power, or my ability to make all her dreams come true. Hell, she won’t even accept my ride without an argument. But I’m not giving up. She doesn’t know who she’s dealing with, and I’m not afraid to play dirty.

I could listen to this over and over!!

Loved this one! Jude is...I don’t know whether to call him amazing and determined Or sexy and desirable! That suit look!!! H-O-T! Maybe I should go with both!? He is just an amazingly wonderful guy and I can’t say enough how I loved so much about him! His Job is so different! Rachel and her Iron Maiden...that’s what starts this all! I enjoyed her job as well...so different. She has great determination. I love how the relationship between these two develops! She doesn’t want his assistance and he is determined to give it!

Loved the sweet adds of Aubrey and Chance. They are fun and add delight to the story! Also a nod to the 3UG and Cora Bentley crossover. I loved seeing her used like she was in this book.

Overall there are many laugh out loud, sexy and serious moments. I enjoyed them all! But that letter that was written to the advice columnist??? My heart just about melted and goosebumps arrived! I did listen to this on audio. Felicity Munroe and Teddy Hamilton did an outstanding job. I could listen to this over and over!

Modern day Pretty Woman

Dirty Dealer was an entertaining Pretty Woman style romance with Jude and Rachel! Jude was a take charge man that was used to getting what he wanted until he met Rachel. I felt for Rachel, she had crappy roommates (they seriously needed drop kicked), a crappy ex and was starting her life over in LA completely broke. With her past it was understandable how jumpy she was about trust but she jumped to conclusions a whole heck of a lot … it made me feel annoyed and bad for Jude having to chase after her constantly. I love that characters I have meet from 3UG showed up in this story, it felt like getting glimpses of old friends again!

Teddy Hamilton has always been an automatic listen for me, his voice is one of my favorites but holy crap this one might top all his others because of his accent for one of Jude’s friends!

New to Kacey Shea

Teddy Hamilton is my-instant-buy-guy, but the Hero Club books, for me, can be hit or miss. This one? A hit. It was fun and had the spirit of "Cocky Bastard."This was the first Kacey Shea book - it won't be the last. This was my second Felicity Munroe narrated book. I like her male voice and enjoyed her narration overall.

dirty dealer

both narrators did a well job presenting the story. I did like the story but I'm the type of person that Love's a little bit more "meat" in the sex seems. Overall tho a good listen

Fantastic Story🎧📚🎧 Captivating & Swoon-Worthy🔥

This book is awesome! I loved everything about it, from Kacey Shea’s fabulous writing style to the characters and story she created to the perfectly casted narrators who brought it all to life. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and held it captive straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two leads, Jude and Rachel, Jude is the perfect hero, a bit cocky at first but he has a good heart underneath that cockiness and it shows as he goes above and beyond to win Rachel over. Rachel a makeup artist and L.A transplant, she is working small gigs to make ends meet, hoping for to land a better job working in a Hollywood studio, a makeup artist to the stars. She shares a small apartment with three roommates, a couple of them are mean girls. Heading to a job in Hollywood her old Buick, which she named the Iron Maiden breaks down on the freeway. Jude happened to be stuck in traffic on that freeway and when he sees her standing on the side of the road he is completely taken by her. He had to stop to help her, Rachel is hesitant at first but does accept his help and a ride to the work. Rachel is not like any of the women he met before, she does not fall for his charm, his looks or his money and he likes that about her. He is determined to get her to like him and comes up with a plan to keep her close. I just love how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment. There is plenty of drama, some humor, a touch of angst, lot of heartfelt emotions and an awesome slow burn romance. There are some great secondary characters in this book as well, including Walter, loved the mention of Three Ugly Guys and Trent Donovan’s cameo appearance. Kacey Shea, thank you for another awesome book, it is impressively entertaining and enjoyable and I loved every moment of it. Final comment, Hey Jude! Yep, I had to say it.

Teddy Hamilton and Felicity Munroe are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They bring the characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. Their portrayal of the characters is perfection, Teddy Hamilton truly grasped Jude’s persona, he sounded just as I pictured him to sound, pulled off his cockiness with ease but allowed you to see his other side as well, his heart. Felicity Munroe’s Rachel was perfection, she too sounded as I pictured she would sound. You could hear how much heart each put into their work as they captured the characters emotions and projected them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen🎧

Perfect weekend listen!

The Cocky Hero Club books are so much fun! I was thrilled to see Kacey Shea's addition to the series and could not wait to hear it. Jude has it all. All except for the love he is seeking. He wants a woman to be his equal, not one to want him for what he has. Luck should have it when Rachel breaks down on the side of the road. Now coming to her rescue, he may have found exactly who he is looking for. But will she feel the same? It's fun. It's flirty. And the banter between these two is priceless.Add in Walter the dog and it has everything! I love Shea's writing. It's an easy feel, yet the story always resonates with me. This one is so easy to relate to, wanting to believe what you have found isn't too good to be true. Jude and Rachel are perfect! With a flash at the 3 Ugly Boys band, Shea has integrates her Detour series, just solidifying my love for all things Kacey Shea!

Teddy Hamilton easily falls into the role of Jude. A little arrogant, a little flirty and a lot passionate, Hamilton brings Jude to life. At his side as Rachel, he has Felicity Munroe who I absolutely love. She portrays Rachel with such each. Some hesitation, some heartache and a lot of love, Munroe gives her all to make Rachel realistic. This is a fantastic narration team!

Brilliant! I absolutely loved it!!

I finished this audiobook in one seating. Teddy Hamilton and Felicity Monroe's performance was perfection, just brilliant!!

Jude and Rachel were guarded with their feelings, and had trust issues. However, the way their story unfolds goes against their life plans, and is very refreshing, intriguing and captivating.

What I loved and craved the most was Teddy's vivid portrayal of Jude's vulnerability, protectiveness, and playfulness. His whole personality was addictive.

The characters were authentic, and very compelling. Both narrators brought the story to life so convincingly, that I felt as if I was part of it!!

Fun, Sweet, and Sexy Story!

This novel is part of the Cocky Hero Club Series, based on Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Bastard, with guest appearances from Pixy, Chance, and Aubrey. Also, the interconnection with Detour from the Off Track Records Series is priceless! This is a fun, sweet, and sexy story. Jude and Rachel (Rae) are great character. Jude is handsome, bossy, protective, and caring. Rachel is lovely, independent, and strong. I like their banter, and strong chemistry. Rachel's brother, Jared, is an amazing character, supportive, and caring. Teddy Hamilton and Felicity Monroe did a wonderful job with the narration. I love their voices together. I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

So Enjoyable

Let me preface this with "if you are looking for a sex laden book" This book is not for you. This is more about the relationship and it was a pleasant surprise. I loved all the 'almost' kissing chapters. It was quite comical. The story was unique and the characters were believable. Narrators did a great job.

Loved this book

One of the few CHC that I have been able to give 5 stars to.
