This book was fucking fire! Jesus I couldn’t put it down, it was an absolute page turner 😍
I honestly didn’t know what to expect from Tatum’s book and I was kinda hesitant going into it but damn that girl is strong.
It was only right to pair her with Alexander Denver aka The Butcher 😏
This entire book was a wild freaking ride! Tate and Alex constantly going toe to toe was brilliant, but their chemistry with each other was sizzling.
It was such a great book and dare I say I want to know more about Wrath and Rage 👀 I also want Omen to get his happy ending, my poor guy 🥺

This book was incredible! I couldn't put it down—the plot was gripping and pulled me in until the last page, keeping me on the edge of my seat. Every chapter left me eager for more, leading to late nights of reading. It truly captured my attention from start to finish!

Alex just wants to get revenge on the person who murdered her. He can't find him, so Alex and his men kidnap the murderer's sister. Tatum wants to keep her only family alive. She was doing an okay job until she looked into the wrong people. Alex kidnaps Tatum for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong, and to find out where her brother is. They end up going through a bunch of stuff and discover some truths.
I really enjoyed this book. The plot was really entertaining, especially with all the action scenes. I liked Tatum and her dirty mouth. Alex is definitely an alpha male with psychotic tendencies. The ending was great, but I wasn't expecting Alex to do what he does, but I also totally understand why. Overall, an awesome read!

Tatum Lawson and Alexander Denver. Tatum Lawson is a foul mouth girl who has seen pain and lets it be her motivation. The butcher is seeking revenge but falls in love with Tatum and still gets his revenge. No one will touch Tatum when he is around.
Things I want to remember…
“I warned you what would happen if you kept looking into the Denver Kings, Miss Lawson.” My eyes snap open and I turn my head to the side to face the asshole. It hits me all at once why he looks so familiar. He was the guy that came to Lividica and spoke to Vivian–the Aztec god. Ted eye flight out of here. “Drugged me…” I smirk. “Yes. Now let’s hope this makes you more compliant.” “Muder… fooker,” she rasps out before she slumps forward. “What is it gonna take for you to let me go?” I ask. If he’s surprised by my question he doesn’t show it. “The truth,” he answers. “About?” I throw back at him. “The whereabouts of your brother,” he says without missing a beat. I keep my composure as I fire back. “If you let me strap a dildo on and fuck your ass, I’ll tell you where he is.”“Hmmmm,” she purrs in my ear, my hold on her ass turning bruising as I war within myself to either keep her steady or help her grind on my dick. “See, this is a game you will lose.” I grind my teeth so hard they begin to ache. “Want to know why, Alex?” She doesn’t give me a chance to reply. “You like to think you are the one calling shots but you’re not. I am. You showed me your hand when you didn’t rape me while I was passed out. You gave me clothes and water. You let me out of the room and allowed me free roam of your house. You just let the wolf into your straw house and I’ll blow this motherfucker down before I ever give up my brother.” De dantis family. Run you have 3 mins Bambi. “Not a one minute man after all, huh?” I taunt, her mouth popping open in surprise. Before she can say anything, I brush her legs off my shoulders and bend down to capture her lips in a kiss. This kiss isn’t like any of the others. This one is more of a… let’s call it a truce type of kiss. I break it and slowly ease out of her. I feel like a prick when I see her wince. I yank my shirt off and reach between us but she darts her arm out gripping my wrist stopping me. Choose a side, Carnage.” I press into him until we are chest to chest and eye to eye. “This time, when I turn my back on your family, none of you will be standing. She’s making moves without you.” “She’s doing what she has too!” he defends. I drop my tone to a whisper. “Why don’t you ask your darling sister what really happened to your father and how she became the Don.” Desire. Pope and omen let her go. Chicago. “You open these legs for only me. I catch anyone else sniffing around you and I’ll tie your ass to a chair and make you watch as I tear the fucker apart and cut him into tiny pieces.” Boss and her boys walk in to a freshly fucked Tate in the hotel. I just rounded the corner out of sight of them and the guys when I was yanked into a dark corner. I screamed but then a hand clamped over my mouth. “Shh, it’s just me.” My eyes widened at the sound of my brother’s voice. I threw my arms around him and held him tightly. “We need to get back to the De Santis compound.”“Desire is the one helping me and she will help you too if you just learn to keep your mouth and your fucking legs closed.”“I knew exactly who his sister was. All of this has been a game and you just got caught in the middle.” Shame washes over me, everything I have been told about my brother is true, he used me. “You murdered an innocent girl, didn’t you?” My voice trembles but I don’t care. “It was a condition of our working arrangement.” I reach out to grip the front of his hoodie. Carnage stabs a hand through his hair and nods. “We need a plan. We have a max of two weeks before she throws everything she has at us.” “Us?” Halo scoffs. Carnage finally faces his twin and scowls at him. “Yes, us you little prick.”“Who hurt you?” “My foster father. Want to know why I’ve never made a move to suck your dick?” I don’t give him a chance to answer. “My last foster home was the worst. I escaped all the others before they could touch me but not Ray. He was smart, he knew I wasn’t like the other’s so he used my four-year-old foster sister against me.” “How?” His tone is laced with venom. “I either suck his dick whenever he wants or he rapes Emily while I watch.”He was whipped fifty fucking times, ten lashes for each person. His back is shredded because of us. He refused to leave us behind and took that shit just so we could be free of our family.”The last message I received from that dipshit was a picture of her and Omen asleep against a tree in the south pasture. I nearly crushed my phone at the sight of her head resting in his lap. “Everyone thought Omen was the only one to be used by that sick bitch but it turns out, your father was doing the same to your sister.”It wasn’t until just over a year later I heard her talking to Wrath and Rage.” My breathing turns choppy and my anger soars. “Roberto never touched her.”“She lied. I heard her telling the twins that she needed to come up with another plan to keep me in line. I had no idea that she was winning wars against the families with the threat of letting me loose on their loved ones. The twins were the ones who beat her that night. She was fucking your father’s men, hoping her pussy would keep them loyal to her.”“To be owned by me is worse than death, Bambi.” “How so?” she asks, searching my gaze. “Because I’ll demand everything from you. I’ll force you past your breaking point, throw you out of your comfort zone, just so I can be your comfort. I’ll take all your favorite things and tarnish them just so I can be the center of your orbit. If I give you all of me I expect the same in return. I’ve never given anyone this type of power, and believe me when I tell you that you will hold all the power, because you will be the only person in this world that can destroy me. If you say yes to this, death will be the only way you will ever be free of me. That’s what it means to be owned by The Butcher. Can you handle that?”Don’t taunt me, Tatum, because I don’t play games. If you and I have a disagreement and you take off and think flirting with a guy is a good idea, don’t. I’ll tie your ass to a chair and make you watch as I slice the fucker open, then make you lick the seal on the envelope containing his heart that I’ll mail to his mother.”“Alex, she gave you two weeks.” I quirk a brow urging him to continue. “You know she is a liar, she would have attacked you by now and taken you off guard.” “She doesn't know where we are,” Omen states. Car keeps his gaze on me as he answers. “Something isn’t right, brother. I can feel it in my gut. I know her and—”My eyes snap open at the exact time a roar of pain tears out of me when electrical currents pulse through my body setting me on fire from the inside. My body jerks as volts of power jar me. It feels like it’s been an hour before he removes the cables from the battery. I slump in my chains and pant. My toes are charred, I can feel it but I don’t look down to confirm what I already know. “I orchestrated the death of that little bitch and helped send your ass to prison. I won, Butcher.” Before I can reply, the door opens and guards drag in Omen and Carnage. My eyes widen at the sight of them. “Oh, look at that, my brothers came to hear the story of how I single handedly destroyed their best friend and ruined him. Well, Carnage did help, didn’t you, Brother?”“You are the Yin to his Yang, the goodness inside you breathes life to the darkness inside him. Alexander is lucky to have someone like you by his side.” “I would agree with you but Alex would probably disagree. He seems to think I have anger issues and I do admit, I tend to throw shit at him when I’m mad.” His laughter booms through the phone and I find myself smiling. “Have your men send through the time and positions and I’ll relay the information to my own men. You have my word, Tatum, I will not double cross you.” “As you have mine, Mr. Vatel.”“You and I were never together, you deluded bitch,” I snarl. Her blue eyes swirl with anger, I know just how to get under her skin so I keep pushing. “You were nothing to me. You were a means to an end. You were never the girl I wanted or even cared about. You are nothing to me, you wretched cunt. I’ll make sure you and that elf eared cunt over there die slowly. I’ll take my time ripping you each apart, then send you both to hell, deaf, dumb and blind,” I vow. I expect her to throw a fit and scream but she doesn’t do that. Instead, she lurches forward and buries her blade in my stomach that I didn’t even see her holding. Two horns cuts me off before I can finish. “You have my word, they will both be waiting for you when you are released from the hospital and so will their men. A favor asked is a debt owed, Butcher. Our debt to you for saving my sister is now repaid.”“Loving you gave me the freedom I never thought I would ever get. I love you so much. I never thought I would ever feel this way about anyone, but with you, I never had a choice. Loving you was the easiest thing I have ever done in my life. Thank you for saving me, Bambi,” I whisper. “You’ve made your point!” she screams. “You won, I lost, now get me the fuck out of here, Lex.” I laugh at the delusional bitch. “The only way out of here for you is in death. You could have lived a long life but you chose to take from me, not once but twice, and for that you will die painfully, you rotten bitch.”looking at Thomas and nexus old house Vox and Ezekiel share a look before Ez comes to stand beside Hayze. “We aren’t going to force you but whenever you’re ready, there is a place for you at CHU with us. Think nothing of the cost. It has all been taken care of, so has your dorm and everything. This is a fresh start for you, Tate. After everything we all went through, a fresh start away from all of this shit is what we needed.” 6 months later atCHU. “Touch her and I’ll snap your fucking neck,” Alex sneers. I snap out of my haze and turn to see Dawson frowning at him. Ez reaches out and grabs his arm, pulling him away from me. Alex turns to Vivian. “She’ll be back at the end of spring break, you have my word.” I balk up at him. “You leaving me hurt more than anything she did. You once asked me who hurt me, the answer to that is you.”“Thomas didn’t want her. Her mother left. Nexus used her. She fell in love with you, and formed a partnership with the Vatel family in order to save you. She even got the Filthy Few to put on their masks, even with the threat of the CIA coming after them if they wore those things again. She risked it all for you and you left.” 4221 A.D. “4221 means forever together to love one another. It was something Nova taught me. I’m sure you’re smart enough to figure out what A.D. stands for,” she spits the last part. then shoulders past me. I swivel around and reach for her but she leaps out of reach. “I’m going for a shower and your ass is going to stay right here. I mean it, Alex. I’m not falling back into bed with you. I’ll bide my time here until spring break is over and then I’m going back to school… alone.”I spot her sitting beneath the lone tree and all the panic drains from me at the sight of her safe and unscathed. “The Denver Kings get the firearms. I bought into the hotels CJ owns. You own five percent, the guys own fifteen, CJ owns fifty percent and I own the rest. I knew I wouldn’t be able to make a life with you if I was still The Butcher. I couldn’t stomach the thought of you hating the sight of me coming home drenched in someone's blood, so I gave it all up. I did all of this for you!” I roar. “Well, I refused to allow the Valerian name to continue so I removed that sorry ass excuse of a cock. He has nubs for arms and legs. I removed him of his tongue and ears as well. I left the cocksucker his eyes, which I think was very gracious on my part.” I stare up at him speechless. When I say nothing his face falls. “Baby, I let him live for you.”It’s an hourglass in the middle of a forest with a deer set off to the side. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that deer represents me, but it's the words at the top that have me fighting back my tears. I’d live a hundred lifetimes and search a thousand worlds to find you.

Ahhhh the greatest Finale in a series that I have read in a long time. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and devoured it in one sitting! Thank You @SamanthaBarrett for sharing your words with us!
Alexander "Alex" aka "The Butcher" Denver and Tatum's story was so much more than I expected.
He is Dark, Dangerous, A Stalker and maybe a little bit Psychotic....with a reputation that follows him wherever he goes. He has that never ending Fire that you want in a MMC.
"Alexander ‘The Butcher’ Denver. His name alone has people pissing themselves in fear and hiding out of worry he will suddenly appear like the fucking boogey man."
Tatum is keeping secrets, ones that The Butcher wants. He watched her from afar, never letting her know he knew her intimately, before their eventual meeting....Her Kidnapping!
The chemistry between Tatum and Alex is off the charts hot. He is ruthless and is determined to Avenge his sisters murder. Unfortunately for Tatum, he has his eyes set on her Brother, Nexus.
With the usual flair of our writer, The dark and dangerous world of the Mafia is alive and well during this drama filled story.
Tatum believes her brother is innocent of the murder he has been accused of, but as the story evolves and secrets are revealed, there is nobody you can trust when you are in the Mafia.
Having left the De Santis Cosa Nostra behind, Alex with his 4 sidekicks, Pope, Vatican, Omen and Halo started The Denver Kings and grew their business together as a family. But the ruthless DON of the De Santis Cosa Nostra is their enemy and She is determined to bring them all to their knees.
I loved the drama, the backstory has you captivated as you read how Alex soon wins the heart of his little Bambi, but as the enemy circles closer he knows he can't save them all, but he is determined to die trying if he has to. Tatum realizes she doesn't know who she can trust, that even includes her elusive brother, Nexus.
Take a ride on the wild side and be enraptured by the entire Dirty Temptation series. You will not regret it!
It's 5+++ stars from me!!!
Alexander "Alex" aka "The Butcher" Denver and Tatum's story was so much more than I expected.
He is Dark, Dangerous, A Stalker and maybe a little bit Psychotic....with a reputation that follows him wherever he goes. He has that never ending Fire that you want in a MMC.
"Alexander ‘The Butcher’ Denver. His name alone has people pissing themselves in fear and hiding out of worry he will suddenly appear like the fucking boogey man."
Tatum is keeping secrets, ones that The Butcher wants. He watched her from afar, never letting her know he knew her intimately, before their eventual meeting....Her Kidnapping!
The chemistry between Tatum and Alex is off the charts hot. He is ruthless and is determined to Avenge his sisters murder. Unfortunately for Tatum, he has his eyes set on her Brother, Nexus.

Holy smokes Batman! This book I devoured and then literally went back and reread it because I didn’t want to leave this world! I was on pins and needles after the second book to find out what happens to Tatum and what’s making her live on the run! As young as she is, she’s lived a rough and tumble life until she found Vivian! But this girl is fierce and a hard worker!
Enter Alexander Denver aka the Butcher and the whole book explodes! I love the Denver Kings and his new crew. I am hoping that there’s a new series in the work for the rest of the boys - Omen, Halo, Pope, Vatican, Carnage and even Wrathe and Rage. I really really loved how Tate and Omen became close and it was so unexpected by the rest of them after what he went through!
Tatum and Alex are fire!! I love her sassy attitude with him and how she tries to push his buttons and get under his skin. Most people are leery of the Butcher but this girl has no qualms with riling him up. I love that he has been watching her and somehow she’s broken through all the walls he’s built since he lost his sister. I love how he calls her Bambi and the chase they both love!
This book is not for the faint of heart! I honestly loved how Alex had an obsession with his kills and the human body. People feared him for a reason but in his mind, he was creating art a masterpiece that he wanted everyone to admire in the end. He didn’t want screams and he wanted them to watch as he created and I loved how he’d sometimes get upset at them. Morbid but definitely unique! Mafia life led to a lot of blood and gore in the end for multiple characters so be prepared!
In the end, this book is about finding out who your family really is and who you can trust. Sometimes you can think you don’t deserve happiness but you have to work to be happy and choose those in your life that will support you and help you reach your goal.

Book 3/3 and you won’t be disappointed
Well where do I start 🥵
You must read these books in order of you will have no idea who everyone is and the part they play.
We hear his name in book one (The Butcher) and then we meet him in book 2 when he and Vivian help each other.
Then bam here he is in his own book and he wasn’t a disappointment.
Alexander Denver is The Butcher who once worked for the Mafia as their butcher to be fair but he bought his and his best friend’s freedom 5 years ago.
Then his sister Ellie is murdered and revenge is all he wants, Vivian tells him who murdered Ellie in book 2 and that’s how their lives intertwine.
Tatum we meet in book 2 and she works for Vivian managing her club Lividica but we then find out she has a Father and Brother she never knew of but sadly her brother is the one who killed Ellie.
Alex has been hunting him but someone powerful is hiding him so he kidnaps Tate hoping to find out where her brother is.
I won’t tell you anymore but we find out this has been a long played game and Alex and his men Omen, Halo, Pope & Vatican had no idea they were being played or who set everything in motion.
Great characters, great storyline and you just root for Alex & Tate as they felt so alone in the world even with people around them.
They were good together and their smexy scenes were 🥵🥵🥵🥵
I loved all his men but damn Omen made me want to just hug him, I’m wondering if these are in a previous book or if they would get their own stories.
My only gripe of this book is Ray wasn’t visited by The Butcher and he should have been.
Great series and I would definitely recommend however make sure you read the triggers as there are quite a few.

Say his name loud enough, and he might hear it.
No one dares speak his name, for fear he’ll come for them.
My brother ruined his life, and now he plans to return the favor. For months, I've been living in a cage, dreading the moment he finds me. When he does, it’s like a ghost materializing. I’m taken, trapped at his side, never knowing when my end will come.
The Denver Kings control everything, and with war on the horizon, I can only pray it distracts him long enough to keep him out of my bed.
I hate him. I hate everything he stands for. But I can’t deny it—this tattooed Aztec god is impossible to ignore.
I thought my brother was the only person who cared about me. Turns out, the only one who does is the monster I’ve been running from.
His name is Alexander Denver. But everyone knows him as The Butcher—and now, I’m his prey.
Thoughts:
Wow I ate this book up! The Banter was great. The spice was spicin, whew! I loved the first two books in this trilogy and they all had me hooked right away!! I even gasped so hard I choked! LOL
What a great book!
Another Banger From Samantha 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for another great ARC read!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Ps: this is the first book that I almost had to stop reading. I have no triggers and this usually doesn’t trigger me. Sibling loss was prominent in this book and I was having a day where I was missing my twin sister. Well that’s daily, but i digress.
I powered thru (even if I had some tears). And it was worth it!

4221 Butcher & Bambi…
I loved the first two books in this series but this one might actually be my favorite. It was so good! Alex is so far past morally grey but just like Tatum, I'll happily accept all sides of him.
Tatum has been doing her best to stay off Alexander "The Butcher" Denver's radar but she is clearly in denial because he has no problem finding her. He's convinced she holds the secrets of her brother's whereabouts and he's tired of waiting for answers. She may see her new-found brother as her hero because of one saving act, but that's just another thing she's in denial about. Her brother is the reason Alex's innocent younger sister is dead and he's out for revenge.
When she's trapped with The Butcher and his crew she wants to find a way out. But she's also so completely drawn to Alex and they can only hold out on their chemistry for so long. She gets to see the softer side that no one else does. Meanwhile, there's an enemy working against them with more and more secrets lurking in the background. Tatum may be young but she’s sassy and fierce and ready to take on any challenge put in front of her. And Alex is a total beast.
I won't give away any secrets but I will say this is a must read. It was so good!!! Check those triggers though! I want more from this world. I'd love to dive deeper into the lives of Alex's crew, especially Omen. Just yes to this book.

This book was a rollercoaster ride of action, suspense, angst, and scorching hot spice. I love the Dirty Temptation series and this book was fan-freaking-tastic. This book is a dark romance and touches on dark themes and topics. Check the CW to make sure this book is for you. This is the third book in the series and needs to be read to understand the ongoing plot and the other characters in this book. I thought the storyline was original, and page-turning and had me laughing, getting a little teary-eyed, and fist-pumping a few times. I love books that will have my heart breaking and then have a spot-on grovel to heal my little heart. This book did just that. The characters were complex, had heartbreaking backstories, and an amazingly hot and undeniable chemistry. I love Samantha Barrett; she is a creative author. I love how she has created a deliciously dark and depraved world and filled it with characters that are just as dark and depraved. I devoured this book in a day and maybe lost a few hours of sleep to finish Tatum and Alexander's book.
Tatum is a firecracker. She is independent, determined, and a little guarded. I loved her in the Forever Filthy. She was blunt and didn't back down from anyone or anything. Alexander was bossy, an Alpha, and dark and broody. They were fighting for what they wanted, and I enjoyed the angst and push and pull they both went through in this book. They were hot and spicy and had the best banter and clapbacks!!! Their romance and journey in this book was beautifully written and had me turning the pages to see what would happen next. I am so ready for what Samantha Barrett brings next!!!

Tate has running for months, scared that the Butcher will hurt her to get to her brother, when they finally meet things change forever for them both. I loved Tate, with her filthy mouth, her tendency to throw things at Alex when she’s angry and light. She brightens all the lives she touches, especially Alex’s and Omen’s. I laughed so hard at her descriptor of Halo2 and Halo being so offended, as there was no one like him.
This love story is hard, brutal and honest, from the moment Tate and Alex come together in the woods, til the end when he is gone, there are no lies between them. She knows what he needs to do, even if she hates it, though she finds out her own heartbreaking truths along the way.
I loved the supporting characters, there are so many stories there, please Samantha tell them! I need to know about the twins and everyone else. I loved seeing the Filthy Few back in action again, Nova and Viv are as great as ever, but I think Tate and Alex will remain long in my mind.

“I’ll search a thousand worlds for you and live a hundred lifetimes trying to find you,”

This is the way you wrap up a series! The finale in the Dirty Temptation series
is absolutely phenomenal! From characters to storyline, drama, intensity, twist, turns and surprises, I love everything about this book and this series! The Butcher and his Bambi are so consuming.
"Loving you was the easiest thing I have ever done in my life."
Their love knows no bounds and it shows in everything they do and every move they make.
"She has taken up every ounce of space inside me, there isn't a crack or crevice she doesn’t own within me."
The other characters are just as consuming. Each one of them finds their way into your heart and refuses to leave.
"We may not be blood but we are your found family. We’ll always have your back.”
Filthiest Of Them All, in my opinion, is the perfect way to wrap up this series if it has to end. But honestly I hope we get more out of these guys, especially the Denver Kings.
"This big bad wolf will blow down all her walls until I’m the only thing left standing in her life."

Alexander Denvers is more than meets the eye—and not just because he’s drop-dead dangerous. And Tatum Lawson? She’s tougher than anyone expected, with a spine of steel and zero time for anyone’s nonsense (even if he’s stupidly hot and possibly trying to kill her).
Tatum knows Alex is on the hunt. It’s not if he finds her—it’s when. He wants her to hand over her brother, Nexus, who he believes attacked his sister. But Tatum’s no snitch, and more importantly, she knows her brother is innocent. What she doesn’t know is what to do when the man chasing her starts making her heart do weird, inconvenient flips.
What follows is pure chaos—in the best way. We’ve got danger, betrayal, unexpected feelings, and enough tension to light up a small city. Samantha Barrett serves up all the angst, all the heat, and just enough emotional wreckage to leave you grinning like a maniac while flipping pages at 1 a.m.
If you like your romance with grit, steam, and a big messy moral gray area… Filthiest of Them All absolutely delivers. Just don’t blame me when you can’t stop reading.

Alexander motherfucking Denver aka The Butcher
I am down baddddd for this man. Tate is one lucky woman!
This was the perfect ending for this series and knowing what i know about what’s to come, AHHH, it couldn’t have ended any other way!
Alex is out for revenge but there is one problem and that problem is a vulgar mouth bratty blonde, Tatum Lawson. The tension between these two was epic. There were a few times I wanted to shake them both though and yell “WAKE UP” but it’s all worth jt! Will she stand in his way or will he get the revenge he has set out for?
The plot was plotting, the characters we were introduced to were very important to that plot, being along for the ride as the De Santis family devolves is such an added bonus to this read. Watching Tate become a badass to do what needs to be done is everything. Also, I’m giving a big ass FU to Desire, and she got what she deserved.
I love this world that Samantha Barrett has built that revolves around these characters, it’s perfection!
I can’t wait to see what she does next.

Filthiest of Them All is book three in the Dirty Temptation series and I think this last book is now my favourite of the three!!! This series must be read in order to fully understand this complex story that is full of twists and turns, taking you on one intense and wild ride. Although this series contains some darker themes and graphic scenes, there is some lightness to help balance it all out, especially with Tatum's sassy attitude and her ability to get under Alex's skin. Now, we come to Alexander 'The Butcher' Denver who was just so perfectly unhinged in the best possible ways and this 'Aztec God' certainly got more than he bargained for when he decided to kidnap Tatum to help complete his mission of vengeance. I loved following their journey and how this book concluded this series so perfectly!!!

This is my favorite of the series. i loved it. Tatum is on the run from her past and family. Not knowing she even has a brother and father. and they are the worst of the worst. she meets Vivian and her men and starts running a club for her. As time goes on Vivian discovers her age and still allows her to run the club and even gives her more responsibility of the clubs opening around the country. but one problem. The butcher. Her brother murdered his sister. she just found out she had a brother and he helped her escape her father. How could he have done this. So running all over the country while thinking she is going unnoticed is wearing her down. When she gets on a plane she discovers how wrong she was. she is kidnapped and taken by Alex the butcher and his crew. They hate eachother. but then that all changes with one night of amazing yumminess..

I devoured this book and didn't want it to end!! Alexander ‘The Butcher’ Denver is hands down my new favorite character!!
This is a read responsibly, so check TW beforehand if you need it. Also, this is part of a series, but you could read out of order, but you won't fully grasp the full effect of the storyline and characters without reading the previous books first.
If you need a book that throws you into a messy, chaotic world where vengeance and revenge are like the air you breathe, this is it!! Tatum and Alex cross paths due to an unfortunate circumstance, but what neither expects is to find a connection that will become their greatest strength and weakness at the same time. These two will find lines blurred and a love that may cost more than they want to sacrifice, but will it be enough when everything is done?
Yes, Alexander Denver is the man known as "the Butcher" who thirsts for avenging the loss of his sister Ellie. He has a plan to bring her justice finally, but the temptation of Tatum Lawson becomes his undoing. Stalking turns to obsession and fixation for him, and she is no longer the enemy's sister, but his new obsession he craves. So if you are ready for a dark romance that gives off Beauty and the Beast vibes, or even a little Red Riding Hood big bad wolf, depending on how you want to look at these two, you will be pulled into this maddening world that leaves you wanting more.
I highly recommend this one for anyone who needs a found family vibe, OTT J/P unhinged MMC, feisty FMC who slays the beast within, gore, heartbreaking moments, trauma, mafia vibes, suspense, twists, and epic spicy moments this is your book!! Grab it and enjoy the emotionally wild, suspenseful ride. It's a must read!!
Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆
Spice:🌶🌶🌶🌶

These two will find lines blurred and a love that may cost more than they want to sacrifice, but will it be enough when everything is done?
Yes, Alexander Denver is the man known as "the Butcher" who thirsts for avenging the loss of his sister Ellie. He has a plan to bring her justice finally, but the temptation of Tatum Lawson becomes his undoing. Stalking turns to obsession and fixation for him, and she is no longer the enemy's sister, but his new obsession he craves. So if you are ready for a dark romance that gives off Beauty and the Beast vibes, or even a little Red Riding Hood big bad wolf, depending on how you want to look at these two, you will be pulled into this maddening world that leaves you wanting more.
I highly recommend this one for anyone who needs a found family vibe, OTT J/P unhinged MMC, feisty FMC who slays the beast within, gore, heartbreaking moments, trauma, mafia vibes, suspense, twists, and epic spicy moments this is your book!! Grab it and enjoy the emotionally wild, suspenseful ride. It's a must read!!
Overall: 5/☆☆☆☆☆

He warned us. And we didn't listen.
Alexander Denver is here and HE. IS. VICIOUS.
Tate is a chaos queen I’d take a bullet for.
Omen? My sad boy soulmate.
And don’t even get me started on the Denver Kings—they own me now.
This book destroyed me in the best possible way. It’s savage. It’s smutty. It’s poetry wrapped in razor wire. And somehow, it still managed to make me feel every raw, tender, f*cked-up emotion along the way.
Samantha Barrett gave us a series finale worthy of the DIRTY TEMPTATION throne.
I’m mourning. I’m melting. I’m rereading it immediately.
"Loving me is like loving time, you’ll never know how long you have."
Excuse me while I sob in bloodstained silk.

This book wasn't my favourite in the series, but that doesn't mean that I still didn't absolutely love it!!! We get to meet the Butcher in all his glory along with getting to know Tatum as their relationship evolves.
These 2 are extremely complex characters who possess a tonne of trauma in each of their pasts, that they need to overcome to be able to move forward with each other.
“Who hurt you?”
“I wasn’t hurt, I was annihilated.”
“Who annihilated you, Alex?”
“Your brother. Then your father framed me for murder.”
All the breadcrumbs that have been dropped in the past 2 books comes to fruition in this book & I did not see some of those twists & turns coming!!!
Some of the themes/tropes in this book are:
*Betrayal
*Serial Killer
*Virgin MFC
*Enemies to Lovers
*Age Gap
*Gang
*Found Family
I loved the side characters in this book!!! I enjoyed getting to see the ones I fell in love with in the first 2 books while getting to know new characters & I can't wait to read their books.
I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book & this is my honest opinion.

The chemistry was endurable between the characters I loved how they were so protective of the fmc and the best kind which I loved seeing explored between the characters.
I wanted to read this ever since I read the cliffhanger on the second book and couldn’t wait more to read from this series I enjoyed and this was my favourite I liked how they came together at the end even though the mmc was unhinged.
I think my favourite part of the book is that the fmc was stubborn and able to actually get the mmc to accept their feelings and accepting each other.
The betrayals along the line and the friendship between the side characters was another thing I liked and wanted to read more about them and explore their relationship more.

I have really enjoyed this dark series and couldn't wait to dive into all things Tate and Alex 'The Butcher' after meeting both of these characters in the previous book, Forever Filthy and yes, we are blessed with appearances from the Filthy Few.
Alex is searching for the person who killed his sister in order to avenge her death and Tate has a feeling someone is watching her. Despite warnings to leave well alone, Tate just can't and quickly finds herself being kidnapped by Alex and the Denver Kings. What follows is a hard to put down dark, brutal, sometimes humorous and refreshingly honest cat and mouse game between the main characters as they finally come together. Add Tate's growing strength and relationship with the remaining Denver Kings, you really won't be able to put this one down. Do read the trigger warnings, Alex isn't called 'The Butcher' for nothing!

Satisfying Conclusion
Tatum finds herself in the clutches of The Butcher who wants to use her as bait to avenge his sister. What neither of them plans is for the lines to blur between them. Tatum begins to realize that things might not be as clear as she has believed. Alex realizes that Tatum is so much more than he expected. Can Tatum accept the horrible truth everyone has been trying to get her to accept? Can Alex let go of his past for a chance at happiness?
This was a satisfying conclusion to the Dirty Temptation series. It wrapped up lingering questions from the previous books. It was also enjoyable to delve more into Tatum and Alex's stories after them having such central roles in the previous book.

Whew book 3 and I do say you did not disappoint with wrapping up this series! This is a must read series and I feel must be read in order to understand everything to the fullest!! Dark romance but it deff had some swoon worthy moments for sure! Tatum has had a rough life, very crappy brother and all she wanted was to just be loved. When she was working for Vivian at her hotels and clubs she then started to feel a little loved. I do say that Butcher met his match with Tatum, she is fiercely independent FMC and I LOVE that! I won't give too much away just deff give this series a try! You will not be disappointed!!

This book was pure fire and I was here for every page. Not many books get a 5 star from me but you can bet your ass whenever I'm in a book funk or reading books that are good but not great Samantha brings back my spark to read again.
Alex aka The Butcher and Tatum's story had me hooked from the first page, their chemistry was off the charts and with every page you turn you feel like you are right there with the characters, Sam's writing style is why she is one of my fave authors out there.
There are a few triggers in this book, but I truly recommend this book, so buckle up everybody, it's a roller coaster of emotions but enjoy the ride.

Oh My Freaking Goodness. This book was yummy and steamy and tension filled. And just plain amazing. I LOVED Alex aka THE BUTCHER. He was so dominant and pure delicious amd mouth watering. Tatum his BAMBI was so sassy and not afraid of him at all. I loved how she was with him. Also the Brothers I fell for hard especially Omen. I really want more of them. I loved the visiting of Nova and Vivian and their men also. Halo was so funny. Carnage great. Pope and Vatican i want more of as well. Just please more. Even Wrath and Rage we get enough info for us readers to want more and find out what they stayed for.

amazing!
This was the darkest most spiciest book of the entire series! With the name the butcher you can only imagine the horrible things one must do to earn this title. I believe he met his match with Tatum, ooo that girl is a firecracker she has attitude for days! There was so much steam between them and the action in this book was crazy. It took me a bit to finish reading because I didn’t want this series to end. I didn’t want to forget the characters from the series. I will miss them and this series . This book is a bit more graphic then the others but I have to say they got what they deserved.
