I mean, of course, there’s residual anger and hurt and doubt, but because Lydia’s voice is so strong in the novel, I never truly believed that she was in danger of losing perspective about her self-worth. At times, it was even difficult to believe, for example, that Lydia was deeply affected by her ex-fiance’s betrayal. Perhaps to accommodate the single perspective, the conflicts between Lydia and Vaughn are fairy pedestrian. When an author forgoes the alternating viewpoint, it’s more difficult to redeem a hero with deep issues. But hey, I’m a sucker for hipster bars, so it works for me! She ends up helping Vaughn’s sister, who co-owns the dive bar for which the series is named, but which sounds suspiciously more like a hipster bar. This style requires a protagonist that can carry the entire novel, and for the most part Lydia fulfils this role.Īs Lydia and Vaughn acknowledge - and act on - the chemistry between them, she’s also drawn to his circle of friends and family. As with the Stage Dive series, Scott chooses to use first person, past tense solely from Lydia’s perspective. In short, the first couple of chapters set the tone of this book - and I daresay the series - perfectly. There was dick as far as the eye could see. Every viewpoint, however, was equally shocking. I tilted my head, trying to get some perspective.
Not that I meant to check him out, it’s just kind of hard to ignore a penis and scrotum when they’re dangling right in front of your face. He had longish red-blond hair, dark blue eyes set in ann angular face, a lean but muscular torso covered in tattoos, and a rather large cock. He looked about my age, or maybe a little older. Lydia is also surprised, but in a different way:Įven with no clothing to take cues from, the dude was clearly the epitome of cool. Needless to say, when Vaughn Hewson discovers her, he’s very surprised. When Lydia Green discovers that her groom is having an affair with the best man, she skips the wedding and breaks into a stranger’s house to hide in his bathtub. But if you’re looking for a copy of the Stage Dive series, you’re in for a surprise. Dirty, the first book in the Dive Bar series, features snappy one-liners, saucy dialogue, and characters with personalities that just leap off the page. If you want to know whether or not Kylie Scott’s new book passes muster, you can breathe easy. Kylie Scott’s new series puts me in mind of a sexed up Crusie.Īn advance reading proof of this book was generously provided by MacMillan Australia. Witty repartee, charming characters, and lots of oral sex.
