My father laid claim to it the day I was born, and I had been a stupid, na\u00efve girl to wish for anything different.<\/p>\n<p>As the heir to my father&#8217;s immense empire, my crown sits heavily on my head as I navigate my way through dealings with the criminal world while trying to stay alive.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for me, my crown and my hands are forced to get dirty along the way. Thankfully, I&#8217;m not expected to do it alone. Roarke, my deadly bodyguard who&#8217;s been by my side since I was six, is my shadow and always will be. I also now have Alessio, the cold, tattooed hottie, Roman, who conceals everything with fakeness that comes far too easily for him, and the alluring but sweet brothers, Tito and Enzo.<\/p>\n<p>When bullets start flying, and people begin dying, my five guys not only stand behind me as the queen of their empire, but they also prove they have every right to be there by getting their hands just as dirty as my own.<\/p>\n<p>Dirty Crown is a full-length, standalone reverse harem novel.

Alessio who rules the house and the guards with brute force only we could love. Tito is a bit of mess who needs to figure stuff out but his love for Vallie is never ever to be questioned.\u00a0 But I did wanna nut punch him a time or two.\u00a0 However, If I could also see a Hawk enter this harem, it would be day made but I don\u2019t think the MC President would be willing to share with the guys\u2026darn.\u00a0 I guess just being her bestie will have to do.<\/p>\n<p>This book has so much going on and I loved all the violence and grit, but all the sexy time was just as delicious!!!\u00a0 If you\u2019re a Mary fan this will make your list for sure!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25381\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Melinda<\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely loved this story so much so that I really want more or this family. The guys are amazing and I fell in love with Valentina from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Valentina\u2019s father took her after her mother died and held her in a compound. She only had contact with her bodyguard, Roarke. You see Valentina\u2019s dad is a mafia boss and he is setting things up for her to take over one day. He even goes as far as setting her up with some husbands. What daddy dearest didn&#8217;t plan on was thing going not to his plan and his little girl has to take over as Mafia Boss sooner than he anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>Valentina may have grown up in isolation but she is not one to mess with. Especially if someone threatens her family. Although she has fear she does not show it.\u00a0 I mean really anyone that is not afraid to carry a grenade and will use it is amazing in my book. Here is a little fact about our girl you do not touch her if she doesn\u2019t want you to because you never know what sort of weapon, she has hidden on her.<\/p>\n<p>I so loved these guys.\u00a0 They are all so different by all so right for Valentina. Roarke was the oldest but OH so yummy. He knows her the best being how he has been her body guard most of her life. Enzo caught the eye of not only Valentina but Roarke too. Tito is Enzo\u2019s brother I\u2019m not sure of him but he sure loves Valentina. OH wow, then we have Alessio talk about ruling with a strong hand and man does he do that especially with the guards. You cannot forget about Roman so loving toward Valentina but don\u2019t under estimate him. There is one more we need to talk about how about Hawk the MC Prez and Valentina\u2019s new BFF.<\/p>\n<p>What a great book I\u2019m only sad this is a stand-alone. I want to know so much more about this family. The guys were hot and Valentina was amazing.\u00a0 I even enjoyed Hawk. I loved all the guys and Valentina so much. They all have each other\u2019s back and all love Valentina so much.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there.
