Dirty Sexy Cuffed (Dirty Sexy Series) (Volume 3)

Levi, Levi... Levi.. hello Officer Kincaid. Dayum. Man in uniform... Nuff said.

Levi, the baby of the Kincaid boys, who is no baby at all is a badarsed CPD officer who is not afraid to go after what he wants. And right now he has his sights set on Sarah. The cute cashier at the Seven Eleven. His appeal to her is not one of simple need. No, there is more there. That becomes obvious when Officer Kincaid saves her from an armed robbery in progress. Getting shot for his troubles.

The growing connection between Levi and Sarah grows at the same time he starts to deflect the millions of questions his brothers (who met Sarah in the ER with Levi when he got shot) and his sister in laws. LOL Poor man isn't cut any slack. Levi's hard work doesn't go unnoticed either. And when Sarah needs him, he's there. He makes her change her life in ways no one else could. He's been there, done that. He's willing to do anything to save the woman he is growing to love. Thing is.. Sarah is okay with that because she feels the same way.

One problem... the past once again doesn't stay buried. Sarah's past pops up front and center and its up to Levi (with help fro his brothers) to make sure she stays safe. Taking point, taking watch, they have her in their sights.. now to just keep the past fro getting their hands on her again. Time will only tell where this goes.

*an audio book copy of this book was given in exchange for an honest review, but I did purchase the ebook as well*
(less)

There just wasn't enough sustenance in this book. It was a decent story line, just not enough followthrough. I'd prefer to wait a little longer between books and have a meatier book. Maybe if I'd only paid $1.99 instead of $3.99 I wouldn't feel cheated.

Hot F- Damn!! Dirty Sexy Cuffed is the third book in the Dirty Sexy Series and they just keep getting hotter and hotter. I know I said that in the last review for the series and it's so true. Each book can be read as a standalone. Three brothers. Three totally different personalities. All protective, supportive, and sinfully sexy. This is the youngest brother Levi's story...

Levi is always in control. In and out of the bedroom. He went from a damaged childhood to the military and now a cop in Chicago. Maintaining that control keeps him calm and steady. In his career and relationships. He doesn't do one night stands or long term relationships. It's only about no-strings attached sex. The women he brings into his bedroom know the score. He will not get emotionally attached. He built his walls long ago and he has not met a woman that he wanted more than sex from. Until he walked into the Circle K five weeks ago. He felt a connection right away but this mysterious woman that works behind the counter has him on edge. She will not say yes to a date, and for some reason he won't give up. He knows there is something special about her and his instincts are never wrong...

Sarah needs to get out of Chicago. Stat. She needs a fresh start before her crazy ex finds her. She is living in a rent by the hour hotel and working at a Circle K at night. And this isn't even her rock bottom. She hasn't had an easy life. Losing her parents and moved from foster home to foster home. She doesn't trust easily. The only person she knows she will miss is the hot cop that comes into the store every night after his shift. She senses that he is a good guy. But her instincts haven't been right for a long time. But, he lights something up inside her. Maybe because he isn't giving up on her like others have and it's not in a creepy way. She just doesn't see why he wants her. She doesn't think she is anything special. She has her reasons for saying no to a date but she is intrigued and when she finally says yes...it's on!!

To Levi, Sarah is a mystery. He doesn't know much about her but he can tell she is running from something. But what he quickly learns is that is a filthy girl. She isn't afraid of his dirty talk and control in the bedroom. She actually craves it. And even Sarah is surprised by this. She has a hard time trusting people but she trusts him not to hurt her. She trust him with her body and secrets. And for the first time in his life, she is breaking his walls as well. But what is going to happen when she is ready to leave Chicago for good? Can she walk away from Levi? And is he willing to let her? Can he actually want more than hot as f- sex?

I loved Levi and Sarah's story! She is a bada- with a damaged past and he is a damaged protective alpha with a big heart. Yes. He has to be in control but he loses it with her. Can he handle that? Also...I will say there is more to the story then just hot sex. It's about trust, family, and letting go. Speaking of family, I loved catching up with Mason, Clay and their ladies ❤️

Overall...it's sexy, fun, emotional, and suspenseful.

P.S. That ending...Boom!

Quotes:

“I’m not done with dessert yet,” he murmured against her ear. “And you, sweet Sarah, taste better than chocolate.”

“Yes, Officer Kincaid.”
Oh, yeah, he was definitely bringing out the handcuffs tonight.

“Damn. And here I thought I was the only one in the family with the White Knight Syndrome.”

Jackson Stone has had one crappy hand after another dealt to him in his life. He was raised feeling like his was unloved and craving any kind of emotional connection. Once he was old enough to escape he made a life for himself. He went to college and could get an amazing job at a prestigious architecture firm. Things were starting to look up for him. He met wife and they were trying to start a family until all of that exploded in his face as well. Now he has learned that he was illegally adopted at that he has three brothers out there, one who is his twin, that know nothing about him. Jackson finds out his twin brother own a local bar and head out, determined to meet his brothers and find a family he can call his own. What he didn’t expect to find is a beautiful bartender that would change his life forever.

Tara Kent’s childhood was less than ideal. Growing up with a military father with very strict ideas Tara always felt less than perfect. The older she got the worst her father’s expectations became and Tara soon found herself abusing drugs to escape her feelings. It isn’t until tragedy strikes that Tara finds herself getting her act cleaned up and Clay Kincaid offering her a job and a chance for a new beginning. Now six years later she is clean/drug free, graduating with a degree in business and managing Kincaid’s bar. She has a very small but close knit group of friends but will not allow herself to open her heart up to more, that is until Jackson Stone comes into her life.

These two instantly have chemistry but can bond over the crap hand life has dealt them over the years. Tara can help Jackson find his way into the Kincaid brother’s fold and Jackson helps Tara realize she is so much more than her past mistakes. Jackson is everything Tara needs wrapped up in one sinfully delicious, dirty talking package. She just must give him and her heart the chance to find true happiness.

This is probably one of my favorite books from the series next to Clay’s, go figure the two twins have the best books in my opinion! I would highly recommend this book and series to everyone who loves a good romance with some smooth talking, sexy alpha brothers.

I receive an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

I've been eagerly awaiting to read Levy’s story and it didn't disappoint. There was just something about this book that called to me. Dirty Sexy Cuffed is the third book in the Dirty Sexy Series. We already met Clay and Mason Kincaid in the previous books and now this is the turn of their youngest brother to find his soul mate.

Sarah Robins is a young woman who is on the run and hiding from her controlling and abusive ex-boyfriend. For the past five weeks she has been working for minimum wage at a convenience store and gas station, budgeting her money carefully to leave Chicago the city that had brought her nothing but heartache. Sarah is done getting involved with the kind of guys using her for their own purposes. She’s determined to be strong and independent despite her deep insecurities and to start over somewhere far away.

Levy Kincaid is a gorgeous tattooed hot cop with a damaged past, always keeping his emotions in check. He wants Sarah and he’s relentless in his pursuit to get her agreeing to go on date with him. But as attracted as Sarah is, and as tempted as he made her feel, she knows the timing is all wrong, and she’d turned him down every single time he asked her out. Then one day Levy takes a bullet to protect her and uses this card to his advantage to get her saying yes and to put himself out of his misery.

Tired to be alone and feeling madly attracted to Levy, Sarah finally agrees but only for a one-time deal considering her current situation. Levy is overconfident and downright sexy, the melt-your-panties hot kind. And Sarah sees herself as plain and ordinary and nothing special for a man like him. Sarah’s past was filled with people she’d trusted who’d rejected and disappointed her. A recurring pattern in her life and something she’d come to expect and anticipate. But for the handful of minutes that Levi spent in the store, charming her with his smile and words, she’s feeling beautiful and someone special.

Levy is determined to break down Sarah’s barriers, but she's not sure she's strong enough to let go of her past and imagine a future that risks her heart getting broken again.

Things heat up quickly between the two. Neither seems to want to be away from each other for long, yet there's insecurities and trust issues from their past. Omg I bloody adored Levy! He’s kind, caring, honest and real, an honorable man who stayed true to his word. What he experienced during his childhood molded him into the man he is today, After some of the hell he was put through at his own mother's hands, he desperately craves control, especially in the bedroom. Oh Boy! the man’s mouth was so filthy with the skills to back it up.

I loved this well-written story between two amazing characters with great individual personality traits. Two broken, damaged people with screwed-up pasts who had found one another and had managed to make each other whole. This story flowed right from page one and had that ideal balance of sweet, romance and steamy. I also enjoyed revisiting old characters and that close-knit bond that the Kincaid brothers shared.

Very well done, Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. Especially that ending! Can’t wait to read Jackson Stone’s story.

Calry Phillips & Erika Wilde collaborate together in a new series - Dirty Sexy. The Dirty Sexy is a series of three brothers and the women that they fall in love with. These brothers - Clay, Mason & Levi Kincaid, have a rough upbringing. Because of that, each of them are guarded when it comes to love. They each handle their childhood in different ways.

In Dirty Sexy Cuffed we finally get Levi's story!!! I have an exclamation point sign after that sentence, but in reality this was my least favorite book out of the Dirty Sexy series. In fact, I loved the Epilogue more than the story itself. But, you can't read the Dirty Sexy series without reading Levi's story.

"He'd always been a loner, and he definitely enjoyed women, but he'd never met one that made him want to share everything with her, including his past, the present, and the future."
~ Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde, Dirty Sexy Cuffed (Dirty Sexy #3)

Levi is a street cop in Chicago. He meets Sarah Robins in a convent store and is completely taken with her. Every time he is in the store he asks her to go out with him and every time she says no.
#OfficerKincaid

Sarah is running from her past and has no intention on sticking around the Chicago area. She just needs to earn a little bit more money and she is free to leave. She never had Levi Kincaid in that plan. Little did she know that he would stop at nothing to have a date with her - even taking a bullet for her. This bullet changed everything for them.

I loved Sarah. I loved Levi as well. I just felt that their story could have been written a bit better. Maybe I felt this way because I had just read Dirty Sexy Inked (Dirty Sexy #2) and I loved Mason & Katrina's story so much. I actually found myself a bit bored with Levi & Sarah's story. Don't get me wrong, it was a good story, I was just coming off of an amazing story in Dirty Sexy Inked. If I read it at a different time, I may have felt differently about it.

"You're going to be cuffed to me for life."
~ Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde, Dirty Sexy Cuffed (Dirty Sexy #3)

If you have read the Dirty Sexy series, then Dirty Sexy Cuffed is a must read. And the epilogue... Oh man!!! Bring on Dirty Sexy Sinner!!!!!!!

Thank you Carly & Erika for trusting me with Levi & Sarah's story prior to its release. I am sorry that their story was not my favorite, but that does not mean that I did not enjoy your work. I have loved this series. It will be a series that will live in my heart forever. Those Kincaid brothers have a piece of me

5 Stars from Brianna!

This series continues to get better and better with each new release. And the Dirty Sexy series is back with the youngest and sexiest brother, Levi. This installment of the series surpassed all of the others. Dirty Sexy Cuffed was sexy, sweet, suspenseful, entertaining, intriguing, edgy, and left me with tingles from my head to my toes. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde are two brilliant writers who have created the perfect love story.

In the third book of this series, we follow two broken and damaged souls looking for love and redemption. This book was beautifully written yet emotionally charged. You will get lots of feels along the way, taking you on a roller coaster of emotions. Along with action and drama, this story is a quick read that will light up your kindle and warm your hearts. Are you ready to get cuffed by Officer Kincaid and let your inner bad girl out?

Sarah is a young girl just trying to get by. Life for her has been a struggle and she just wants to breath easy again. She has always wanted to be loved and wanted but seemed to look in the wrong places. And then trouble follows and forces her on the run. The brightest spots of her life seems to come from Levi, the sexy and flirtatious cop who takes a break at her gas station every shift he has. But letting him in is nothing something she can do.

Levi is a cop who likes control in his life... in and out of the bedroom. From a troubled and damaged past, he bears the scars emotionally now. And little does he know that the sweet Sarah he asks out every time he sees her is going to rock and shake up his perfectly ordered world. She needs a white knight and Levi plans to be that and so much more. Can he get Sarah to confide in him and let him heal her scars and show her love?

Man oh man did these two light up my kindle. The angst and sexual tension between them seemed to be combustible at times. I cried with them and laughed with them. I got angry at times and found myself on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion. These two will take you on a journey riddled with obstacles and hurdles. But their love and passion will push them forward. Fall with Levi and Sarah as they find their happy ending.

I highly recommend this book and series.

5 Stars from Renee!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, naughty fun, and heartbreak.

Before reading this story please read the below books first...
Dirty Sexy Saint (Dirty Sexy #1)
Dirty Sexy Inked (Dirty Sexy #2)

This is Sarah and Levi's story. She is on the run and he is a cop who likes control. He is intrigued by Sarah but she always turns down his invites on dates. When her trouble seems to catch up with her, he will do anything he can to keep her safe. Can Levi save Sarah from her past? Can he prove to her that he is here to stay? And is Sarah willing to open her heart and soul to Levi or is she too damaged?

I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

The Kincaid brothers went through a lot growing up with a childhood of abuse and uncaring adults constantly wanting to separate them. Through all the turmoil they could only count on each other which has made them a formidable force as adults. Their childhood pain has left its mark, and with each brother finding their HEA, the emotional walls they've each put up have slowly started to fall. In this third installment in the series it's youngest brother Levi who has his ordered life thrown for a loop when he comes to the aid of a woman running from her obsessed ex-boyfriend and the cult who's driving his actions. Steamy encounters are balanced with revelations of their pasts to make this an engaging story that's a nice addition to the series.

From a childhood of having to watch his mother degrade herself while putting him in danger repeatedly, Levi learned at an early age to behave and be quiet to keep safe. He learned to keep his emotions in check and it's made him the man he is today. As an adult he's still quiet and controlled, a cop with a protective streak, who longs for control in the bedroom. Relationships and commitment aren't for him as he never wants to lose control and put his heart on the line after the betrayal of a mother who should've loved him unconditionally. Meeting the equally emotionally bruised Sarah catches him by surprise, as do the feelings of love she inspires, and has him thinking of HEA for the first time as long as he can keep her safe from her ex. Levi's a sweet and sexy hero with a kind heart. He's always gone for one-night stands or chosen women who only want a short-term fling, never having to work to get the woman he wants...until Sarah. She represents the goodness he's always wanted in his world and he takes his time getting to know her in ever-increasing erotic encounters that end up becoming so much more.

Sarah's childhood was one of heartbreak too. Losing her family at an early age left her in the care of the foster system, sent from one family to another, which had her hardening her heart with each family leaving her behind. As an adult though, she hasn't given up on love, but it's led to some bad decisions which have her on the run. Against her better judgement she's drawn to Levi, his intensity and the feelings of being special to him, have her giving in to a date that becomes so much more. Sarah's very kind hearted and strong-willed, rolling with the punches life sends her way without complaint. She's used to struggles and hates to rely on others, but Levi's the one bright spot in days full of fear and looking over her shoulder. She's an example to Levi of the power of love as she accepts his needs wholeheartedly, never judging him, giving him the support he never felt from anyone other than his brothers.

This was a fast-paced story, over before I knew it. The initial meeting between Levi and Sarah is memorable and sets the tone for their relationship as it shows how far he's willing to go to keep her safe. Their connection is crackling with sexual encounters that are scorching and tinged with a bit of bdsm. Sarah's a bit quiet compared to the larger than life Levi which left me feeling not entirely engaged in their pairing. With Levi's playfulness and sexiness though I was enamored with him from the start of the series and enjoyed seeing him take center stage here. My biggest issue, in an otherwise entertaining journey to HEA, involved the cult Sarah was running from. This element was overly melodramatic, and with so much build up regarding the nefariousness of it, it made for a lackluster conclusion to the story. Thank heavens for the epilogue though which left readers with their jaws on the floor and a sexy secret from the past that already has my heart fluttering. From start to finish this is a steamy story with a likable main couple along with glimpses of past couples who embrace the sense of family between these three brothers. It's an emotional story that ultimately leaves you with a smile on your face as well as counting down the days until the next installment in this series.

Sarah Robins isn’t the drop dead gorgeous heroine that some readers come to expect. No, Ms. Robins has had a hard go of it in her young life but it’s just something about her character that makes the reader like her a lot. Brown haired and blue eyed Sarah is operating in survival mode and she really doesn't have time for romantic notions. But if she had time for such things, Levi Kincaid would be the ideal candidate for the job.

What’s that old adage … it’s always the quiet ones and the quiet one , Levi Kincaid makes Dirty Sexy Cuffed a worthwhile read. The quiet unassuming Kincaid brother commands the reader’s interest. His quiet demanding personality is front and center throughout the pages. Sarah makes his control slip but I guess that’s what happens when one character finds their other half. Both Levi and Sarah are so well suited. From book one of this series the readers learn about the heart breaking circumstances the Kincaid boys grew up in. In this latest installment the reader gains the opportunity to read about the female counter part to their struggle. With similar childhood backgrounds both Levi and Sarah grew up without parents and lacking love. After finding out about the heroine’s background, the reader gains the opportunity to feel for her. Like all other alpha males, Levi rushes to her rescue.

As a male lead, Levi is attractive with green eyes and happens to be a bit kinky. It seems that the quiet ones always have something going behind the calm façade. He is supposed to be controlling domineering in the bedroom area but the intensity that is promised isn’t completely fulfilled. But this is just a small component of his character and doesn't detract from the hero factor that Levi has going for him. What the reader really gets to view with Levi is the abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother and how those experiences colored his adult life. Though I like a happy ending, I would have liked a little more interaction between the male lead and his rival. A little more antagonizing between the two would have put the story over the top.

One of the highlights of the story is that the previous characters of the other installments of this series show-up. As always, the interaction between the three Kincaid brothers is entertaining and have the reader wishing for more.

Throughout the first two books of Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde’s Dirty Sexy series, readers have only caught glimpses of the youngest Kincaid brother, but it has been made clear from the onset that Levi is the one who dealt with his mother’s mistreatment by learning to control and shut down his emotions, never allowing himself to fully feel anything, especially when it comes to relationships with women.

Levi’s the voice of reason…the brother who refuses to partake in any bad habits and walks the straight and narrow, not only as a police officer but also as a person. Levi’s past has definitely shaped who he is, but he doesn’t allow anyone to be privy to the hardships and struggles of his childhood until Sarah Robins becomes a part of his life; with her, he finds himself wanting more than he’s ever wanted from a woman, allowing his emotions to take over his control and for once feel more than a physical connection to her.

Sarah has her own baggage to contend with and it’s those scars and feelings of abandonment that have put her into the situation she is currently in – trying to escape an ex-boyfriend. All of her bad choices, insecurities, and fears stem from a childhood filled with loneliness, and even in adulthood, she can’t seem to get things headed in the right direction due to the way she has to live in order to flee a life she never wanted.

Officer Kincaid saves Sarah from a number of tenuous situations and proves to her that his loyalty and honor is not a façade. But with Sarah hoping to leave Chicago, she’s not looking to start anything with Levi – too bad her body and his persuasive techniques have other ideas.

Levi’s story is the one I’ve been waiting for since learning about the Kincaid brothers. He’s definitely the strong and silent type, but I knew that once he felt a pull to someone and looked to make her his that the dirty talking alpha male would come out and boy does he! His disciplined and controlled demeanor transfers to how he likes it in the bedroom, and Officer Kincaid definitely knows how to wield a pair of handcuffs for more than just the people he arrests!

Dirty Sexy Cuffed is sweet, sexy, and a bit suspenseful, and just like the other brothers’ books, it illustrates how far Levi has come in order to move forward without letting the scars of his past taint his future.

I love the Kincaid brothers, and I’m intrigued by the main characters in Dirty Sexy Sinner, and I hope Clay, Mason, and Levi show up to raise a little hell as well;)

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

4 Poison Apples

Sarah Robins wants to start her life over. Levi Kincaid has a job where he has a lot of contact with Sarah but he’d like that contact to be just a little bit closer. These two have a serious conversation when two scene-stealers walk through the door and had me cracking up – loved it! It was at that point that I was hooked.

If you have a fantasy about a sexy hunk of a police officer then Levi is the man who fits the bill. Sarah has an agenda but we all know what happens with plans. One thing I’m impressed with is that Levi is a man who cares about the well being of people. It’s part of what draws the reader into seeing where their relationship is going to go.

Now when it comes to the sex it is far from nice. It’s hot, steamy, and as the title says it’s dirty. So you will need to be careful about wandering eyes. I think that once you finish this story, you’re going to want to have a reading marathon and fall in love with the series all over again. Sarah has a lot of fears but that doesn’t stop her from working through them and going after what she wants. We get their happy ending but the author doesn’t stop there. We get a great lead into the next book titled Dirty Sexy Sinner – I so can’t wait until it’s in my hands.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

3.75 stars---DIRTY SEXY CUFFED is the third installment in the contemporary, adult DIRTY SEXY erotic romance series, focusing on the Kincaid brothers-Clay, Mason, and Levi- coauthored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is youngest brother and police officer Levi Kincaid, and Sarah Robins’ story line. DIRTY SEXY CUFFED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous stories is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sarah and Levi) the storyline follows Levi on nightly patrol as he tries desperately (for five weeks) to seduce the cashier at the all night variety into a date. Sarah Robins continues to turn all of Levi’s efforts down until an armed robbery places Levi between Sarah and a loaded gun. What ensues is a friends to lovers romance wherein Levi will discover that Sarah is on the run from her past-a past that is about to catch up with the present.

The relationship between our couple is slow to build as Sarah continues to push Levi out of her life. But five weeks is a long time and Sarah is more than grateful when Levi places himself in danger to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate and intense. Levi likes a little kink in the bedroom.

All of the previous story line couples play secondary and supporting roles. Mason and Katrina are planning their wedding; Clay and Samantha have an announcement of their own. Tara Kent, the bartender at Kincaid’s bar will have her story told next in DIRTY SEXY SINNER. The epilogue ends on a bit of a cliffhanger revealing what’s in store for the Kincaid brothers and Tara.

The world building continues to focus on the dark, abusive and damaging early years of the three Kincaid siblings. From their drug addicted mother to absentee fathers, the backstories are emotional and heartbreaking.

DIRTY SEXY CUFFED is a story about brothers and family; romance and love; letting go and moving forward. The premise is entertaining and hopeful; the characters are playful and dynamic; the romance is provocative and sensual. My only issue is the conflict resolution that felt like a bit of a let down; too quick, too simple, and not without some questionable actions.

“And it definitely didn’t matter that he made her happy and hopeful and so incredibly content when she was with him. No, that was usually the warning sign that, just around the corner, life was going to pull the rug out from under her feet. Again.”

Sarah hasn’t led the easiest life. Right now she’s working at a convenience store and stashing away every penny in order to start a new life. She dreams of moving away from all her bad memories, and beginning fresh in a brand new place. While working, she meets Levi Kinkaid. He and his partner stop in most nights on their way back to the station.

Levi has been trying (without success) to gain Sarah’s attention outside the convenience store. Until one day, when he happens to be in the right place at the right time, and Sarah finally agrees to give him some attention outside work.

Sarah is a character I genuinely identified with. Although some of her experiences are quite different from mine, her attitude was something I could definitely understand. She spends each day just waiting for the other shoe to drop; for that last terrible thing to take away all her happiness.

Levi is a man who likes control in all things. Being drawn to Sarah, he can sense she’s holding back, but he has no idea why. After being in the position to help Sarah out, he finally convinces her to spend some time with him. Within that time, he realizes that Sarah is more than she lets on. Levi is the kind of man I’ve always loved to read about. Although he doesn’t like to acknowledge that he has feelings brewing around inside, he’s still willing to put in the extra work to keep Sarah safe.

I loved the story behind these characters. Both of them had pasts which shared a common thread and lead them to where they are today. Also, it was great to be reintroduced to the rest of the family! Levi’s brothers and their women are such great people and always have a way of being a positive part of any scene. Also, the ending … ahh!

Overall a great read. Perfect for summer & a great addition to the series! I can’t wait for more!

After reading this, this being my first intro to Ms Phillips and Ms Wilde's dynamic team writing, I am speechless and spellbound. I had high hopes for this story after hearing so much hype about it and I am happy to say it far surpassed my expectation. Sarah is heartbreaking in her pain and breathtaking in her innocence and the little spurts of joy that radiate from her through the pages. You see little pieces of her throughout the story and by the end you can't help but love her yourself. And then there's Officer Levi Kincaid... That man is outrageously delish! He just flames from the page, it's like stepping into a sauna each and every time he. Opens. His. Mouth!! Omg. He's a dirty talking, melt your panties with his words, uber Alpha (in the good way) Cop, who by the story's end, any woman would be willing to let cuff her. Well rounded side characters and a well written story line all coalesce to add to the whole thing rather than detract from anything. There was no part where I was pulled from the story. It sucked me in from the get go and I was happy to become a part of their life for that fraction of a moment.

Boy oh boy if you thought the older Kincaid brothers were HOT, well they have nothing on the youngest Kincaid. Officer Levi Kincaid is one HOT Dirty Cop!!! I really enjoyed this latest from Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde. Levi and Sarah have been friends for about 6wks now and every time he asks her out she shuts him down, which leaves Levi a bit baffled. Until one day she says Yes!! Knowing that she plans on leaving the city soon, Levi makes it his mission to change her mind, but just like Sarah, Levi has his own demons to battle and gets a little shaken when he see's where Sarah is staying.
As these two get closer somebody from Sarah's past comes bake to threaten this new budding relationship!! Can two hearts that have been broken and two kind hearted people with screwed - up pasts come together to make each other whole? Or will Sarah keep running?
This was an awesome quick hot read that had all the feels, humour anticipation and chemistry that was off the charts!! I loved he epilogue and the surprises at the end totally leave you in shock mode!!
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would xx

You will love the story of Levi Kincaid and Sarah Robins! Levi is a dirty cop in the very best way and sweet Sarah is the girl he never thought he would go after, but making her his dirty girl was his latest mission. Sarah is a girl that's been hurt so many times and is currently running from a dire situation. Levi is a good cop with a deliciously dirty mind, Levi craves control after some of the hell he was put through at his own mother's hands. Levi has wanted Sarah since the moment he met her and been doggedly pursuing her since. When Sarah finally decides to take a chance on just one date with the sinfully sexy officer things start off with some sharing of past experiences that show these two how much they truly have in common. Then all hell breaks loose and Levi will stop at nothing to protect what he wants to be his. A deliciously sexy story with just the right amounts of tragedy, intrigue, love and some seriously hot sex! Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have done it again this book is a must read, once you pick it up you won't put it down! From the first minute to the final shocking moment this is a book that needs to be in your collection!!!

In this the third installment of this smokin' hot series, Carly Phillips and Erica Wilde give us just one more yummy Kincaid man to love.
Levi is alpha to the max. He needs- demands control in all aspects of his life. He does nothing that would take his edge away.
Sarah Robins is running from a past that's trying to catch her. She's running from a bad situation and hiding as best she can.
No distractions is her moto. Except there's this really cute guy who happens to wear a uniform really well...
I've been in this series from the first and each book just keeps getting better.
Levi was a bit of a surprise. Even though I knew the man has a thing for control- the reasoning and development of that need broke my heart.
Sarah and her sassy ways made me smile. The way she handled Levi and his alpha-ness was wonderful. Even though she was running, She was no shrinking violet.
This book is sweet sexy fun. And the fact that we also get to visit with the other two brothers and their women is a bonus.
Can not wait for more.

I was really looking forward to Levi's story. Out of the three Kincaid brothers, he is the one that is the most reserved and private. His personality fits in nicely with his being a cop. In Dirty Sexy Cuffed, he has been trying to get Sarah, a clerk at the convenience store on his beat, to go out with him for weeks. After he is shot trying to protect her, he realizes he will do anything to protect her.

What I loved about this couple is that they both have similar crappy childhoods. It made their bond that much stronger and that much more believable. Their chemistry was off the charts! I think they are my favorite couple out of the series so far. There is a little bit of suspense in the story because Sarah is running from someone. My only complaint is that the suspense could have been built up a little more on that front. It was a little anti-climatic for me. Despite that, I loved the story. The surprise ending more than made up for it. After reading it, I need the next book now!

I received a free copy from the authors in exchange for an honest review.

There are many things to love about Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips Dirty Sexy series. The level of intensity is high, the sensuality is wicked and the guys are to die for. One subject that is not up for debate is that these men may have learned some hard lessons but they love hard and instantaneously. It takes a strong woman to tame a Kincaid brother. Dirty Sexy Cuffed is Levi's turn up to the plate. His family is his anchor. His job is his proudest achievement and his responsibilities are not ones to be taken lightly. His secret desires are what leads him to Sarah. Sarah is not what she seems and the twists that kept leading them together are also the ones that could tear them apart. Levi's story was not as clear as Clay and Mason's. There were links that I never saw coming in this story of sex, secrets and mystery. Kept me guessing. The most explosive reveal was saved for last. I received an ARC of Dirty Sexy Cuffed in exchange for an honest review. More on the suspense side than the previous two but nobody can do seduction like these two authors.

This is the third in this series about the Kincaid brothers. Levi has always being the quiet one amongst his brother keeping everything to himself since growing up as a child with a junkie prostitute mother. He has seen his brothers found love but never assume he would. As he is patrolling a seedy part of the neighbor he meets Sarah who works in food mart overnight. He has been asking her out but everytime she says no. What Levi doesn't know is Sarah is on the run from an ex boyfriend and she is trying to get enough money to leave town. One night as Levi is visiting the store a man holds Sarah at gunpoint to rub the store and eventually Levi comes to her rescue. So begins their togetherness where he slowly removes her doubt of trusting another man. A good background story of the ex boyfriend and her getting to meet his family.

Who knew underneath all that brooding sexiness was a police officer and man that needs so much control in the bedroom and in his life. Sarah Robins was his match in every way but she's on the run from her past. Sarah is tough but vulnerable. She makes do with what she's got but accepts help with out too much complaint and is thankful for it. I love the fact that she's just an ordinary woman that's down on her luck. Will Levi watch her walk out of his life forever or will he stand, fight and slay the dragons for her?

Book 3 in the Dirty Sexy series is as amazing as the rest of the books in this series. These two authors are sensational on their own but together they are extraordinary! They write sizzling, real romance that captivates me and won't release me until I've read the last word. The men are too sexy for words and the women are their life preservers, even if they don't realize they're drowning in their past. I can't wait to read more.

The opinion expressed is my own.

4.5 Stars

I love the combination of Phillips and Wilde. Their Dirty Sexy series is exactly that! Dirty and Sexy with some extra toppings like a story that pulls you in. Even though this is a series they can each be read as standalones.

Levi Kincade is the youngest of the Kincade brothers and I was anxious to hear his story. I cried for him and his childhood. But I loved the controlling, protective cop he grew up to be.

Sarah Robbins has had her share of a heartbreaking past and can't seem to get away from it now either. I fell apart with her story and wanted her HEA more than anything. She's irresistable to Levi and he will stop at nothing to make her trust him.

This is a story of lost souls colliding into each other. The chemistry is off the charts but as with the previous two books we don't expect anything less from our co-collaborators. If you love intense and sexy scenes you will love this next installment of this dirty sexy series.

Title: Dirty Sexy Cuffed
Author: Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde
Series: Dirty Sexy #3 (can be read as a standalone)
Genre: erotic romance
Rating: ****

This is the first book I've read in this series, and I loved it. It was quick and easy, but unlike a lot of other shorter books, the pacing and development were perfect rather than rushed. The relationship between Sarah and Levi felt like it advanced realistically, and they had brilliant chemistry. The sex scenes...well, they were freaking hot.

It was nice to read a romance in which the angst is caused through other aspects of their lives, rather than through forced relationship problems and secrets. Although there were secrets, they were revealed at the right times and were highly relevant to the subplot.

I very much enjoyed this and will be going back and reading the rest of the series and the other Kincaid men.

Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde are a fantastic writing duo.
Levi was the serious brother who valued his control. Sarah is a girl who couldn't catch a break-until she got her very own sexy cop to watch out for her. Levi is determined to get Sarah to go out on a date with him, so for five weeks he stops by the store at the end of his shift to see Sarah--lucky for her he is there to save her during a robbery. After Levi's heroics, Sarah agrees to a date with Levi and that is when Levi starts losing the control he relies on. If there was one weak point to the story it was the ex-boyfriend/cult plot--a different scenario could have amped up the suspense quotient. I enjoyed Levi and Sarah both coming to terms with their pasts and moving forward with each other. Overall, it was another satisfying, enjoyable read from one of my favorite authors. PS The epilogue really threw me for a loop!

received book in exchange of a honest review.This book was great It had me from chapter one .Levi was always the brother who didn't drink smoke or do drugs as a cop he was very professional but in the bedroom he was completely different.When Levi met Sarah he knew there was something different but wasn't sure what and kept going back little did he realize her life was just as bad when she was growing up as his was.Sarah knew there was something about Levi that she liked but didn't want to find out becuase she was leaving in a couple weeks.The emotion in this book was awesome it even makes you to want to cry and if you like sex in your books you will love this one.While you can read as a standalone it is better to read from book 1 that way you understand certain things when they are talked about.I couldn't put this book down until it was finished .Reviewed by Melissa for MNP.

4.5 stars!

Another winner in this series! This was seriously HOT!

Levi has been the brother that was quiet and reserved throughout the series. In here we find out why. And my heart goes out to him. It's no wonder he's so in control of everything, all the time. And so there's no question, yes, that control spills into the bedroom ;0) Sarah's story pulled at my heart strings too. She just wanted love and stability. When Levi offered it to her she was too scared to take it at first. Thank heavens she was quick to recognize her faulty thinking.

The epilogue BLEW MY MIND! That's all you're getting out of me about that. Just so you know, I'll be anxiously waiting to see what happens in the next book :)

*thank you to the authors and RockStarLit for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review*

Dirty Sexy Cuffed by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde is a quick and sexy story. It will leave you dreaming of a strong man to protect you while burning up your sheets.

Levi Kincaid is a hot, sexy cop who is always in control of everything. He doesn't partake in anything that will have him lose that control. That is until he meets Sarah Robbins. He can't help the pull he feels toward her. And he drops in to see her at the convenience store she works with at the end of each of his shifts. Until the one time he needs to swoop in and save her from a crazed, gun wielding gunman. Then he decides he needs to protect her.

Watching Levi and Sarah, two people carrying a whole ton of baggage struggle with their feelings for each other, and learn to trust the other completely was wonderful. I loved seeing them have actual REAL conversations with each other. It gave a certain depth to their relationship that I really appreciated. They had tremendous chemistry together and they were HOT!

While this is the 3rd book in the series it can be read as a standalone. I did. (Though I have gone and #1clicked the others because I want more!)

I received a complimentary copy of Dirty Sexy cuffed in exchange for my honest review.

Levi is different from his brothers. They are both outgoing while scrambling to live their lives with their partners, while Levi is all about control. His quiet ways come from those childhood years that all three brothers are trying to forget.

I have loved reading their stories and watching them heal as they fall in love. Levi's story is by far the best one yet. Meeting Sarah and courting her for just one date with him makes you love Levi right away. Cocky and controlling take nothing away from his protective persona, making Sarah always feel safe around him. Safe is the word of the day with Sarah, as she hides from her cult-crazy ex. All she needs is to save enough money to get out of town before he finds her.

The developing relationship between Sarah and Levi is what romance novels should be. He is tender, protective and fully involved is making sure Sarah is safe and protected. His controlling ways do not bother her as he sweeps over her and changes her life. In exchange, her innocence and sweet disposition are a salve to his damaged soul. Their intimate moments are steamy and wildly hot, while full of tenderness and deeply caring.

Wait for the end to have your breath taken away... what now?

Looking for a sexy Alpha story with chemistry? If so, this is the book for you! The main characters are running from relationships for different reasons but they soon find themselves running to each other.

Levi Kincaid life hasn’t been easy. His Mother left him in a very dark place and now he's emotionally unavailable. "He had too many jagged, broken pieces inside of him, and couldn't imagine any woman in her right mind who would take a chance on a lifetime commitment to someone so irreparably damaged."

Sarah Robins lost her family at a young age and her life becomes one let down after another. As an adult she finds herself attracted to the wrong men which has her on the run. She has a plan, make money and get out of town. What Sarah hadn't expected was one hot Alpha cop saving the day when she was faced with danger at her job. She had turned down his repeated requests for a date but now that he's saved her, she owes him one.

Oh Levi! He's irreparable until he meets the one woman who understands his pain. Not only does she understand Levi but she also enjoys his dominance. Dirty Sexy Cuffed is a sexy, hopeful read with a little bit of angst mixed in.

Another amazing story from the fantastic duo that are authors Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. As with the first two books in this serious I was hooked from the first page. The story line is engaging, and there is enough drama to hold your attention until the very last word, throw in some seriously hot and steamy bedroom scenes and this book has it all.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Levi, and wondered where his story would go, and I was not disappointed. Like his brothers, Levi is a true alpha male, possessive and dominating, but all done in the name of love. Sarah is shy and sweet, but running from her past; together this couple are a perfect match. Both the main characters have had troubled pasts, and I loved seeing them develop and grow throughout this book.

It was great to catch up with Clay and Mason and the banter between these brothers is awesome. I must admit going into this book I was a little sad as I assumed this was the last in the series, so you can imagine my giddiness when I got to the epilogue, yup you guessed it there is another book to come, bring on Dirty Sexy Sinner!

After reading this, this being my first intro to Ms Phillips and Ms Wilde's dynamic team writing, I am speechless and spellbound. I had high hopes for this story after hearing so much hype about it and I am happy to say it far surpassed my expectation. Sarah is heartbreaking in her pain and breathtaking in her innocence and the little spurts of joy that radiate from her through the pages. You see little pieces of her throughout the story and by the end you can't help but love her yourself. And then there's Officer Levi Kincaid... That man is outrageously delish! He just flames from the page, it's like stepping into a sauna each and every time he. Opens. His. Mouth!! Omg. He's a dirty talking, melt your panties with his words, uber Alpha (in the good way) Cop, who by the story's end, any woman would be willing to let cuff her. Well rounded side characters and a well written story line all coalesce to add to the whole thing rather than detract from anything. There was no part where I was pulled from the story. It sucked me in from the get go and I was happy to become a part of their life for that fraction of a moment.

Boy oh boy if you thought the older Kincaid brothers were HOT, well they have nothing on the youngest Kincaid. Officer Levi Kincaid is one HOT Dirty Cop!!! I really enjoyed this latest from Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde. Levi and Sarah have been friends for about 6wks now and every time he asks her out she shuts him down, which leaves Levi a bit baffled. Until one day she says Yes!! Knowing that she plans on leaving the city soon, Levi makes it his mission to change her mind, but just like Sarah, Levi has his own demons to battle and gets a little shaken when he see's where Sarah is staying.
As these two get closer somebody from Sarah's past comes bake to threaten this new budding relationship!! Can two hearts that have been broken and two kind hearted people with screwed - up pasts come together to make each other whole? Or will Sarah keep running?
This was an awesome quick hot read that had all the feels, humour anticipation and chemistry that was off the charts!! I loved he epilogue and the surprises at the end totally leave you in shock mode!!
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would xx

You will love the story of Levi Kincaid and Sarah Robins! Levi is a dirty cop in the very best way and sweet Sarah is the girl he never thought he would go after, but making her his dirty girl was his latest mission. Sarah is a girl that's been hurt so many times and is currently running from a dire situation. Levi is a good cop with a deliciously dirty mind, Levi craves control after some of the hell he was put through at his own mother's hands. Levi has wanted Sarah since the moment he met her and been doggedly pursuing her since. When Sarah finally decides to take a chance on just one date with the sinfully sexy officer things start off with some sharing of past experiences that show these two how much they truly have in common. Then all hell breaks loose and Levi will stop at nothing to protect what he wants to be his. A deliciously sexy story with just the right amounts of tragedy, intrigue, love and some seriously hot sex! Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have done it again this book is a must read, once you pick it up you won't put it down! From the first minute to the final shocking moment this is a book that needs to be in your collection!!!

In this the third installment of this smokin' hot series, Carly Phillips and Erica Wilde give us just one more yummy Kincaid man to love.
Levi is alpha to the max. He needs- demands control in all aspects of his life. He does nothing that would take his edge away.
Sarah Robins is running from a past that's trying to catch her. She's running from a bad situation and hiding as best she can.
No distractions is her moto. Except there's this really cute guy who happens to wear a uniform really well...
I've been in this series from the first and each book just keeps getting better.
Levi was a bit of a surprise. Even though I knew the man has a thing for control- the reasoning and development of that need broke my heart.
Sarah and her sassy ways made me smile. The way she handled Levi and his alpha-ness was wonderful. Even though she was running, She was no shrinking violet.
This book is sweet sexy fun. And the fact that we also get to visit with the other two brothers and their women is a bonus.
Can not wait for more.

Levi Kincaid is a dirty talking, dominant, patient man with slight "white knight" tendencies (that is when it comes to Sarah)...and we were led to believe he was he was just the "quiet" one. Oh my, he is so much more. Sarah works at a convenience store and Levi has been stopping in at the end of his shift over the past 5 weeks and asking her out, which she continues to decline. We begin the book on the fateful night when Sarah is held up at gun point and Levi comes to her rescue, however, during the arrest Levi is shot (luckily in his vest). He is not seriously hurt but Sarah does agree to a date. That is all I am going to tell you about this book other than to say these two are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. They are tortured souls who have both been through so much since they were young and were just what each other needed to help heal. It was fun to watch both blossom and grow.

OH EM GEE!!!!!! Just wait until you get to the end! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
