I am a huge A.M. Hargrove fan and I devour all of her fantastic novels. This author has provided readers with a wide range of amazing stories but she was ready to really turn up the heat. I couldn't wait to dive into this extremely erotic novella after I first learned about it. Knowing the ability of this author, I was expecting a perfect blend between the passion and storyline. I definitely got what I wanted and let me tell you... this is some of the dirtiest and hottest sex I have ever read!Originally released as three separate parts, Dirty Nights is the journey of two broken down souls in desperate need of change. The reason behind their emotional turmoil is very different but these two are far more similar then they originally believe.The layout of the first section was brilliant done. I felt the setup was flawlessly created to allow the reader to get easily sucked into the story. Filling in the backstory for Skylina and Ryder was a smart move because I immediately felt connected to them. Once I started, I couldn't stop because this pair grabs ahold of your full attention and ramps up your libido. After their paths cross, Ryder and Skylina take off on a wildly erotic ride with the reader in tow.Skylina never had the chance of a typical life with the environment she grew up in. She's been caught in a downward spiral for years because of sad excuse she calls a mother. Reading her experiences starting at a young age made me cringe. My heart shattered with her hope of a normal family. Luckily Skylina is resilient and manages to survive in the horrific lifestyle her mother forced her into. Each day is a struggle but she never allows the battle to beat her.Ryder was living his dream until it was snatched away in the break of his body. He doesn't handle the extreme destruction of his career well and turns to drugs in order to numb his memories. The detailed descriptions make the fight with his inner demons easy to picture. I could feel his pain flowing from the pages. Eventually the wallowing must end and the addiction has to stop taking control.Ryder saves Skylina one night and they seem to be tethered after that. The connection they find between the sheets proves their unique bond.They both have so much unresolved from their past that it continues to seep into the present. Ryder tries to swoop in and save Skylina but he also needs to save himself. Their relationship is bumpy and filled with grit. What they share is special but is it strong enough to face the overwhelming war waging between them?The potential of pain and opening old wounds might be too much for these passionate lovers to risk. They fear rejection so placing emotional road blocks steadily in place is safe. Even when their relationship is clearly more than just sex, they hide their true feelings and continue to keep their situation purely physical. Hopefully they break down the barriers before it's too late.I guarantee you all will love this naughty read packed full of steamy seduction and kinky spice. Even with all the filthy lovin' going on, the story still shines through. I loved flying through the pages! Another great story from this talented author. Congratulations A.M. Hargrove!
