I have been nagging Rhys Ford for this book and when I finally got it, I had to savour it slowly.  I wasn't going to make the same mistake I did with the other 3 books where I gobbled them up in one go and I had to wait for more of my Cole and Jae fix.  You will never get the full impact of the Cole and Jae magic if you read this as a stand alone book.  You need to read from book 1 first and I promise you, you won't be disappointed.  If you enjoy m/m romance with a good dash of action and intrigue, hot but so emotional sex scenes and equally strong secondary characters this series is for you!  In Dirty Deeds both Cole and Jae are trying to get over the effects of Jae's shooting.  Cole, being the very protective alpha male that he is, cannot rest until he knows Shiela (the one responsible for shooting Jae) has been neutralized.  The search and capture of Shiela forms the plot of this story but what I was more interested in was how Cole and Jae had grown as a couple.  It was so good to see how Jae has moved on from being the insecure, self-doubting cynic we meet in book 1 to the confident much loved man he is in this book.  Cole letting go of some of his old ghosts even though I think he will never be completely free from them, he has learned to not let it determine his life.  This is the talent of this author, she makes her characters so life-like that I have to remind myself these people are not real.  Then we get Bobby, one of the strong secondary characters who is an ex-cop like Cole and is Cole's best friend.  He is another alpha male type hottie.  If you like them older, raw and often times an SOB then you'll fall in love with Bobby just like I did!  We get to read Bobby's story in book 5 which I cannot wait especially considering how this author ended this one!!!  There are words I'd like to use right about now directed at you Rhys Ford but amazon won't allow me to!!!  I recommend this book and the series without any hesitation!
