Well, “Dirty” is absolutely no exception.
What sets Megan Hart’s books apart from other common erotica is that she does not do sunshine and roses. You will not find blissful porn on the pages of her books. What you will discover is pain, suffering, confusion, passion, anger, and heartache. The emotions evoked from reading her books make you feel as though you are living the lives of these tortured characters.
Have I scared you yet?
She begins “Dirty” with utter complexity wrapped around a character named, Elle. This protagonist, if you can even call her that, has a sordid past, and her depth lies deep within the book’s pages; leaving you with absolutely no other option but to keep reading if you want to learn her secrets.
Her actions and reactions will force your mouth agape asking, “WHY?!”. Of course, you don’t learn the why until Megan Hart is good and ready to give it to you.
Once Elle's truth is finally revealed, the wound that develops on your heart is unavoidable. That is the depth of this character.
Then there is Dan. Dan the man. It is this character who “tames the shrew” so to speak. He sees something in Elle that no other woman has ever revealed to him, and as a result, he’s always needing more. She is his ghost, someone who cannot possibly be real. But he knows that if he perseveres, what he does discover will only make him love her more. To Dan, Elle is worth the pain and risk.
“Dirty” will take you on a rollercoaster that you never really intended to ride, but can’t help throw your hands up in the air and scream during the experience; you won’t want to get off.
On an erotic scale of 1 to 10, I’d have to give this book an overall 8.5. Though these characters do not spend their entire time together between the sheets, or in bathroom stalls *wink*, the fireworks they do create will leave you panting for more.
“Broken” is the next instalment following “Dirty”. A sequel of sorts that tells the tale of another tortured soul in Harrisburg, PA. Although I’m only into the third chapter, I’ve already spilled an undesirable amount of tears, and must continue reading in hopes that there is some solace for these characters.
Stay tuned for my next book report.
