~ ~ ~S.E. Jakes is on fire! She managed to write a complex spy-assassin story with intrigue, complexities and betrayal rarely seen in M/M romance. Then she slipped in this gut-wrenching, developing relationship all while delivering some of the hottest sex scenes I've had the pleasure of reading (she's really good at the sex scenes.)Jakes is on fire. Mal and Cillian are scorching!!!THE CHARACTERSCillian - His smooth operator persona got me, but now I know he's even more than I had hoped for."But in his business, you could never be too careful, too paranoid...or take too many chances. The ultimate paradox."Mal - A hard knocks life makes Mal a very bad boy. Bad boys need to be...handled. Or, they need to take themselves in hand.THE STORY****A little modification here from my original review. I think a reader will benefit a great deal from reading some of the books that come earlier in the Extreme Escapes universe first. I suggest reading Catch a Ghost and Long Time Gone (Hell or Highwater series) before Dirty Deeds for an enhanced reading experience.**"But hell, of all the gay discos in all the world..."Spies spying on spies, spying on spies. Yeah, that just about sums it up.Cillian is in Amsterdam meeting with his informants, gathering information on his target, a traitor and terrorist. A traitor that is also being hunted by Mal's team. From here on out I can't tell you more because I'd give things away. Suffice it to say that Cillian and Mal are on the same path and their paths cross in several unexpected and thrilling ways.Oh, and Tommy and Prophet are lurking too.THE WRITINGLeaving me with barely a moment to breath from beginning to end, Jakes nailed it.It's easy to get swept away in the absolutely soul-rocking hotness of this book, but it's really the elaborate spy tale that caught me. I didn't expect it. We had glimpses of Mal and Cillian in earlier Jakes books and I thought the relationship building was going to be the treat. And it was. But then all these loose threads from other parts of the Extreme Escapes, Ltd universe come into play making it much more involved than I expected.In fact, once again Jakes opens up entirely new directions to for her stories and her characters to take, and for her fans to explore."Mal was the real thorn in Cillian's side. Now, he was about to prove it."~ ~ ~I would like to thank S.E. Jakes and Riptide Publishing for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.~ ~ ~
