A secret that’s going to kill them both if they don’t sort their sh*t out, stat.

***4.5 STARS***
I had to skip around in the series to get to Zane’s story and it was definitely an emotional roller coaster.
Zane Traynor is the front man/lead singer of the rock band Dirty and he epitomizes a rock star. Manwhore galore, weed head and reformed alcoholic he enjoys his life except he has fallen for his manager’s assistant Maggie May and unknown to everyone is the fact that the two of them eloped two years ago and were married. Now Zane wants his wife...he wants what his other band m ...more

This is about redemption and loyalty. Loving someone even on the hard days. Zane and Maggie's road isn't easy. It's not short either. We've seen them have their ups and their downs. But when they finally make it to the finish line, you'll be cheering them on. Ya know with the rest of the Dirty clan.

I debated for 24 hours in what to post for this review. I have been looking forward to this book since the first one. I was so excited I was checking Amazon all day for 24 hours in case it posted early. Zane and Maggie have by far been my favorite characters. But for the first half of the book, I was asking myself why. I hated it. I almost DNF and had my one star review already in my head. For one I had no idea that Zane was still screwing around once they were married. I thought there were one ...more

The Delight
The final book in the Dirty Series! I finally told myself I couldn't save it forever. Zane and Maggie's story has already started and this book is just what happens after two years of secrets. Watching both of these characters overcome some deep problems becomes the awesome sauce of the story.

O.M.G. After being teased about the mysterious marriage between Maggie and Zane, finally we have their story in Dirty Like Zane. And whoa, what a story it is!
As their assistant manager, Maggie’s seen it all. Seen all the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to Zane Traynor. He’s her greatest love and her biggest regret. And as her husband, one of the biggest failures. And she’s tried to keep their relationship on the “professional only” level. She’s not willing to let her heart get involved, ...more

*I received an ARC of this book free from the author.*
If you've been reading the Dirty series like I have then I bet you are as excited for this book as I was. Ever since Dirty Like Us when Zane and Maggie got married in Vegas they've been slowly killing me. Every interaction since then has had me yearning to know what's going on with them. Trust me, this book did not let me down.

Actual Rating: 3.25, rounded down.
Okay. This is my first erotic romance in A LONG TIME and it was a pleasant surprise. Lots of good smexy times abound, but it also had great melodrama, jealousy and one of my favorite tropes (try to guess which lol). Anyway, the obvious problems aside (there was some macho "poor me" shit but it was rectified swiftly), I loved how honest and seriously "post-addiction" is handled by some of the characters in this book.

Happy ending
SAD TO SAY this series is over but it really was a good one. Zane and Maggie have finally made their marriage public following a lot of angst on Maggie’s part. I can understand her feelings of fear because of Zane’s addictions but her back and forth with his feelings just got irritating. On the other hand, her father’s relationship with her was seriously sad and cruel.
On to the Player series!

I was really looking forward to this book, like I’d powered through reading all of the other books the moment I realised Zane and Maggie’s book wasn’t until last. And Zane’s behaviour— his selfishness, his lack of accountability, his rudeness and pettiness ruined his character, the book and ultimately the series for me.
Zane acted like him being faithful and monogamous was a big challenge and deserved some high fives when he started he’d not touch another woman while on the tour (despite being m ...more

I binge read the entire Dirty series and loved every minute of it!! I didn’t stop to rate/review While in between books, I just went right into the next - the teaser at the end of each book for the next is to blame for that!! I’m going to do one catch all review and copy/paste it to each book. READ THE SERIES if you’ve not already. And START FROM THE BEGINNING! I know the author says they are interconnected standalone book and while that is true, you will so much more enjoy the books by reading

Dirty Like Zane is the sixth full-length and final novel in the Dirty series by Jaine Diamond. I have been following this series since the very beginning and have been waiting for this book! And I gotta tell ya...it was so fucking worth the wait. You can read each book as a standalone but I highly recommend at least reading Dirty Like Me before reading this one. It’s a free novella and it’s where Zane and Maggie’s story really begins. At least the last two years of it. I will add the link to the

I was lucky enough to binge read the first 5 books in the series probably around two months ago. I was waiting (semi) patiently for this to come out like a good girl. I was SO FREAKING PLEASED when I was chose to receive an ARC in return for my honest review, because let’s be real- I am not patient at all! 🙂
First of all, Jaine Diamond- I seriously love you. This series captured my heart from the very beginning with Katie and Jesse and has not let it go throughout all of the books. You have creat ...more

I have not so patiently been waiting for Zane’s and Maggie’s story ever since I downloaded the free copy of Dirty Like Us (# 0.5) from this author’s website and this book did not disappoint! In the beginning, I worried that a lot of the book was going to be about Zane coming onto Maggie with Maggie trying to resist and then sleeping with him. Then repeat. That was not so. The author really developed both characters and weaves a good story. With Zane, you get to see his depth and many layers. He

I just finished this series, so my review
will be for the series.
I am so happy that I found this author.
The rockstar genre is one of my favs, and
this author did it right. This series follows
the men of "Dirty" and all of their trials and
tribulations, and LOVES of being a rock star.
It starts out with Jesse, and he is everything
I want in my hero. He is a mixture of sex,
broodiness, loyalty and I loved reading about
him. He was the perfect start to this series.
Once he meets Katie, and he is done. I lo ...more

I think I have a tie for which one is my favorite couple of the series. I was convinced that Katie and Jesse would stay at the top, but along came Zane and Maggie. I loved these two. I loved seeing their struggles and how they overcame them. I also loved their love for each other. However, the one complaint about this book is that it’s a flat ending for the series overall. It has a very cute ending for Zane and Maggie, but a crappy ending for the series, if that makes any sense (maybe you need t

Zane and Maggie, Finally!!!!!
Let me cut to the chase here, we all know by now that Zane and Maggie were married early in in the series. He's been portrayed as an arrogant manwhore with a great of gold. Maggie was a ball busting yet extremely nice woman. I have loved every time either of these characters interact within this series. No imagine my anticipation of this book and multiply it.

Bonus note: It's about time Zane got his girl! hehe. He did do some bone headed things (aka sleeping with other girls), but he finally got her. Yay! Seriously, read the Dirty and Players series - you won't be disappointed.
Same review as the other books: So where do I begin with Dirty? I actually read the first Players book as introduction to the author and didn't love it at all (3.5 stars), but saw this series and decided to give the author another try. I'm so glad I did!! I loved the Dirty Ser ...more

I have loved loved loved this series from Jaine and seemed to have waited forever to get Zane and Maggie's book to see what the heck was going on between them to make their relationship so difficult.
So once I got the ARC I could not put it down until I was finished -another all nighter! Wow this was so worth waiting for though it was a tough read at times.
These two characters are so frustrating - Zane is the incredibly gorgeous and larger than life frontman who enters rehab to clean himself up. ...more

I have been waiting on baited breath to finally get to the bottom of Zane & Maggie!! All of our questions centered around these two finally come to the foreground. I will admit that I wanted to punch Maggie in her lady parts several times. That said once she finally comes to the understanding that Zane needs to change for his own reasons and fully face his addictions it was like a switch flipped for the both of them. Seth played a huge roll when it came to Zane also realizing that he was never g

I have waited a long time for the story of Zane & Maggie, it was so good that I read it ALL in the one sitting and finally put it down at 2.30am!
I just love Jaine's writing style, the stories are all well thought out, you get to know and care about the whole band and their partners. There is tension, emotions, disappointment, heartache, lust and love. Even the hot scenes are cleverly woven into the story that they are part of the story and not just added in for the sake of it. They are very hot ...more

WOW!!!! I am so excited and sad at the same time! Excited that I finally got to read Zane and Maggie’s story (which was totally worth the wait!! “Swoon”) but sad that this bands story is over!!😢

Loved it, love Dirty!
Really happy to finally get the details on Zane and Maggie. They have a hard relationship everywhere outside the bedroom. But hot sex isn't enough to make a marriage work, so they both have to figure out and deal with what haunts them. Their story is torturous in how badly they want each other but keep messing it up. They do love each other and have hot chemistry between them. You won't be disappointed!

“But it’s not an addiction. It’s not some unhealthy, fucked-up obsession that we have zero power over, that’ll drive us both into an early grave. It’s something we’re both strong enough to know we could walk away from and we’d both survive on our own, but we don’t. We don’t, because our lives are better when we’re together. It’s a choice, every moment, to be together.”

“When you’re in a relationship, love isn’t a noun, man. It’s a fucking verb. Maybe you can’t always choose who you fall in love with, but it’s a choice to wake up every morning and love the one you’re with, to be there for them and do whatever it takes to put their needs right up there front and center with your own.”
