About this ebook

Sometimes to play dirty, you gotta dig deep…

Landscaper Nathan LeBeau knows exactly how to use his big equipment to make the earth move. The Native American bad-boy has a reputation for getting filthy—in and out of the bedroom.

So when good-girl Tate Cross needs dirt work done, she hires the wickedly hot and surprisingly intuitive Nathan—secretly hoping she’ll get more than just her flowerbeds plowed.

Smart and sexy Tate is exactly the type of woman Nathan’s been looking for. But he wants more than another fling, so he digs in his heels to prove to Miss-I-Don’t-Need-Romance that taking things slow will lead them to something real.

But Tate isn’t interested in being romanced—even when Nathan’s sweet and charming ways are hard to resist. She’ll use every tool at her disposal to convince the former player to play with her and that getting down and dirty together is as real as it gets.

Ratings and reviews

3.5 stars I was so excited to hear that Lorelei James was re-releasing Dirty Deeds, one of her earliest published novels. It was a joy to revisit Tate and Nathan's story after all these years. It stands up well because the storyline and characters are timeless. Ms. James has updated a few details that dated it, but a well-written story and well-developed characters always age well. My opinion of the story and the characters remains unchanged--I enjoyed the refresher on these two beloved characters, and I especially appreciated how Ms. James' writing has evolved and grown over the last several years. Although, as Dirty Deeds demonstrates, she started at an exceptionally high level. Her more recent novels show her growth as a writer, her willingness to explore new subjects, as well as her seemingly effortless ability to write exceptionally well in multiple genres. It was fun to go back to this group of characters--I hope I can find the time to read the other related (but standalone) novels sometime soon.

In true Lorelei James fashion, this book has a western undertone. The super sexy Nathan is a gorgeous hunk of man that just happens to be American Indian. He was in the armed services and now runs a landscaping business. Nathan is struggling with owning his own business, dealing with racism and being hard on himself. In walks innocent Tate, a friend of his sister Val. Tate needs some work done around her own, and with funds being limited, offers Nathan something he can't refuse. Great story!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Matter of fact I loved it so much this is the 3rd time I've read it, (I didn't realize I forgot to review the first time I read it). The main characters of the book is Tate Cross and Nathan LeBeau. I really enjoyed reading about this couple and getting to know them. I love the way the relationship progressed it was perfect for them. This is a nice steamy read..
