Dirty (Raw Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 2,713 ratings
My marriage seemed perfect from the outside looking in.
People envied me. They wanted my life, wanted to be me.

Mrs Alejandra Gambino.
Wife of Dino Gambino. Daughter of Eduardo Castillo.
Respected. Loved. Mob royalty.

They had no idea of the horrors that lurked behind closed doors.
They didn't know I was at the lowest point a person could reach.

Enter Julius Carter.
Aloof, handsome, blue-eyed Julius Carter.

He saved me.
I screwed him over.

Now everybody was after me. My life was forfeit.
It was only a matter of time. I was a dead woman walking.

The question was, who would get to me first?

Belle Aurora

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Belle Aurora is twenty-something-years-old and was born in the land down under.

At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.

Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.

Humorous romance novels.

Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.

Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February 2013 Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.

With words.

With writing.

With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.

Friend-Zoned is the first in the Friend-Zoned series. Keep an eye out for this cheeky author.

    This book has been a long-time coming. The wait at times unbearable. But now we have it. And what a wild, crazy, non-stop ride it was. Dirty by Belle Aurora was worth the wait.

    First, I know we all want to know about Twitch and what happens now. And we do get some of that, but this is Julius’s book. Not to worry, we get Twitch, but not the way I am sure so many want and need. But it’s coming! And still, this was an amazing story.

    We meet Alejandra Castillo, Ana, at 18, young, beautiful and innocent. Because of who her father is and family obligations, she is thrown into a situation outside her control. Years later, by all appearances, there is no luckier woman than her. But appearances can be deceiving.

    Julius Carter, Twitch’s best friend and partner, moved forward with his life after the end of Raw. Ling and him are now working together and are very successful. Julius lives for his family and takes his responsibilities seriously. But one look at Alejandra and he is mesmerized. But he also has a job to do.

    A decision was made; lives are forever changed and now Alejandra is running. She knows her life is forfeit, but is determined to make a run for it. Now everyone is determined to find her, but at what cost? Alejandra only knows this was her only one and only chance at escaping.

    Alejandra and Julius’s journey is not in any way easy, but would you expect any less in a story from the Raw family of books? No. Enemies are found everywhere and dangers follow them constantly. How will they survive? Can they survive? Then throw in updates from Twitch and Ling and all her craziness and you have the story you have been waiting for!

    There are so many twists and turns while reading Dirty. Some you get upfront, but others unfold as you read. I could not put this book down. I had to know what happens next. The story flows well and will keep you captivated from start to finish. You will not be disappointed.

    And the epilogues. All of them. Wow! I am sure we will all be counting down to book 3. I know I will.

    Dirty by Belle Aurora was an amazing 5-star read.

    Happy reading!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018

    Wow. I don’t even have words to fully describe the craziness (in the best way) that is this book. First off, I love getting various perspectives throughout this book. It’s intriguing to see the story from multiple people. Oh...having my Twitch back... seeing Twitch fight for his family. For a life free of violence that they will never have to experience. That despite the agony of not having the love of his life and his son, he will do everything in his power to keep them safe. It was so much fun getting to see Twitch take down the bad guys (with the good guys) and gain his freedom to see his family once again. That is a reunion I am DYING to see.
    Julius and Ana...where to begin. Ana, this poor, strong, brave as hell woman. This things she’s experienced I can’t even begin to comprehend. But they fact that she continues to fight and find hope in the world just further proves the warrior she is. And Julius...this man may be ruthless and deadly, but seeing his soft side. They way he treats his sister and daughter with utter love and affection, and the way he treats Ana like the goddess she is is something to behold. This man puts on a facade for the world to see, to see the judge, jury, and executioner he is. But when it comes to those he truly loves and trusts, he would lay down his life to protect them. Seeing that side of Julius very few get to see was so heartwarming and exceptional to read.
    Together Julius and Ana could not be more perfect for each other. They are the pieces each other needed, whether they knew it or not.
    I also really enjoyed some of the secondary character such as Manda and her husband. I’m kind hoping to see more of them even if just a little bit.
    As so Ling, I know she has been dealt a shorty hand in life, but damn does Belle Aurora do a great job of making me hate her guts.
    I am (im)patiently awaiting Raw: Rebirth. As this story has pulled me in so deep that I can’t wait to devour the book and see what comes next.

    OK so I hated the wait for this much anticipated sequel but OMG I was not disappointed with the amazing result.

    Raw is one of my most favorite books. Twitch was such an amazing character that I didn't think Belle could top it but holy I was on a roller-coaster ride reading this..

    Alejandra is a hot mess..her life is horrible..enter Julius & Ling..eventually leading to the unthinkable..

    Julius is loyal to those he loves & he loves Alejandra..lucky girl..but not only do they have enemies they know but one they don't..soo sad.

    So u remember Ling, crazy bitch, well she is still nuts..every time she was near Alejandra I felt anxious..

    There was so much going on and I don't want to spoil it for anyone..I will say u get a piece of everyone in this..u meet some real disturbing characters..Twitch & Julius r sooo loyal to each other..u feel the love..

    I hope that a certain female who did something so unforgivable & (knowing these guys they wouldn't forgive) does not get redemption or at the very least an eye for an eye..I don't care how messed up u r loyalty is sacred..Twitch & Julius had a messed up childhood but they wouldn't even go there..she never lost anything cause he was never hers to lose..so no excuse..I'm curious to see how the author deals with this..

    I want to say this to the author, u r an amazing writer...I'm sick with want for Lexi & Twitch.
    So please hurry...I'm in withdrawal already..

    Long awaited Part two of the Raw family series, WoW so much action. Did not disappoint, but to really get to know Twitch, Lexi, Julius, Ling, Happy and the others you need to read 'Raw' the first book in the series. Dirty was so filled with action, it was like a movie played out in my minds eye as I read. So much raw emotion and the insight into the law breaking underground was amazingly interesting, their rules and punishments are their law. I loved how all the characters storylines intertwined and connected through each other's lives. Developed really well, lots of dark drama, sexual angst and the constantly unexpected ties that bound them all to each other. I Immensely enjoyed the Dirty ride!! Look forward to Raw:Rebirth.

    Ero molto scettica dopo avere letto il prologo di questo secondo volume ma devo dire che Belle Aurora non solo non mi ha delusa ma mi ha tenuta incollata alle pagine. Prima di tutto, i protagonisti di questa storia sono Julius e Alejandra (di Twitch parlerò dopo). Alejandra è stata data in sposa da suo padre (malavitoso messicano) al figlio di un mafioso per rafforzare un'alleanza tra le due famiglie. Il matrimonio della ragazza con Dino Gambino (yess Dino Gambino) si trasforma in un incubo; il bell italiano più che principe azzurro si trasforma in un sadico violento e pervertito e la povera moglie è costretta a torture fisiche e psicologiche devastanti. Ed è qui che intervengono i vecchi soci di Twitch ovvero Ling e Julius... insomma, senza spoilerare troppo, Alejandra si troverà a dover convivere con Julius che al di là del suo apsetto rude e un'adolescenza trascorsa in carcere per avere ucciso un uomo prende sotto la sua protezione Alejandra. Come speravo e pregavo, l'autrice non ha descritto scene di violenza fine a se stesse ma le ha perfettamente incorniciate in quello che risulta un mafia romance di tutto rispetto. Ottimi e mai fuori i dirty talkin' (in fondo parliamo di bad boy) e buoni i colpi di scena... PASSIAMO ADESSO A PARLARE DI TWITCH (spoilerino INO INO) insomma, come era prevedibile la storia di Lexy e Antonio non poteva finire in quel modo ma questo volume è forse una sorta di ponte per la loro reunion. Twitch infatti ha molti nemici e non può tornare dalla sua famiglia finchè coloro che possono far male ai suoi cari non verranno sistemati per bene ed è proprio qui che subentra un colpo di scena niente male; il tatuato del nostro cuore ha un ononimo molto in vista che potrebbe forse complicare la situazione!!! Detto questo, ho trovato la lettura molto scorrevole e non vedo l'ora di leggere il volume 3 della RAW FAMILY. PROMOSSO
