So this summer I was watching the Twitter conversations of a couple authors and became intrigued by the hashtag they were using....  #dirtyeffingvirginhero... as I watched them banter back and forth it became very apparent that I needed to read more about this dirty man and I might have done a bit of begging.  Not too much but you know a bit of begging for a copy of this virgin hero..  Thankfully Jackie was nice enough to give in to my begging and send me this amazing book.  The partner in crime on this was her buddy Maisey Yates who made sure that we all got to see the hashtag and become very interested in this title.  So thanks to Jackie and Maisey for getting him in my line of sight and making me want this ASAP.Ellie has loved her brother's best friend for years and it hasn't been made any easier by the fact that he keeps showing up to pull her out of situations he brother feels are inappropriate or ones that he can't control.  She's moving to Tokyo in a few weeks so figures that this final bit of distance will help her move on from something that never started no matter how badly she wanted it to.  Her brother ends up sending Hunter to pick her up from a convention and she can't resist pushing Hunters' buttons one last time but ends up getting more than she thought when he finally does realize she is not only a woman but one he wants with a fierce intensity.  As she battles his demons to get to know the real him there are times when she's hurt to the extreme but I loved how she picked herself up and stood up for not only herself but for him.  She's strong and is willing to fight for the man she knows he is and not the man he thinks he is.  I loved her humor, strength and compassion which are all needed to deal with him.Hunter...  Ahhhhh sexy tormented Hunter...  how much I loved your need to make Ellie yours while at the same time being tormented by the belief that you weren't the one for her.  You are an amazing man beneath the surface and watching you fight your demons was heartbreaking but gorgeous.  You want to be the one constantly in control but have found the one woman who you can't control no matter how much you try.  I adore your heart and the fact that you tried so hard to keep away from Ellie knowing that you would cause her pain if you gave in even more than you were already doing by keeping her away from you.  You love hard when you fall and seeing her get you to understand your past was incredibly painful but oh so wonderful!  You needed someone who wasn't afraid of taking you on and making you finally face the nightmare you lived for so many years.  Your tattoo is beautiful even with the ugliness that drove you to it.  I'm proud of what you accomplished and look forward to seeing more of your growth if Jackie will write us a bit more...  *hint hint*Again special thanks to Jackie for giving me a copy of this to drool over and cry a bit while reading.  She had no expectation of review and in no way colored my thoughts.  I loved my damaged hero Hunter and hope everyone else will enjoy him as much as I did.  And...  Yes he is a dirty dirty boy...  ;-)
