Blaire is a woman who has a lot of heartache; first, her college boyfriend got traded and didn't ask her to go with him. Then, after two years of marriage, she finds her husband in bed with her best friend. While drowning her sorrows, she witnesses another woman getting dumped; thus begins the Dirty Exes P.I. business. Catching men who are cheating is what makes her happy, until Jessie (the one who got away) becomes a target.
Jessie is in a sticky situation. He is separated, with a lot of unanswered questions about why he keeps his estranged wife do close by. As the information is revealed, I felt horrible for Jessie, and hatred his wife. Is he really cheating on his wife? What exactly happened to make Jessie want a divorce? Will he get Blaire to give him a second chance, if that is what he truly wants.
Colin is Jessie's best friend, but also his brother-in-law. When he meets Blaire he becomes her helper. If Jessie is cheating, he wants it found out, even though he feels like he is betraying his best friend. As they work together to find info on Jessie, he starts falling for Blaire. Will Blaire give Colin a chance or hold out hope for a second chance with Jessie?
I really hope there is another book in this series. I need to find out what happens with the other characters in the book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

4.5
I would like to thank Netgalley and Skyscape for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I know I have said it before but I really love this author. She’s one that I can preorder from and buy just because her name is attached. I trust her writing completely.

This is a spin off series from the Wingmen INC. series and holy cow she is one of the busiest authors I have ever read. Every time I turn around she has a new book coming out. If you are worried that she is unable to come up with anything new and original then there is no reason to be. Everything is refreshing and not just another rom/com book.

On to this book. This was a fun, funny, and has totally swoon worthy characters. Blaire is adorable, super funny and the banter between her and the other characters (especially Colin) is hilarious. She is co owner of Dirty Exes, a PI firm that exposes cheating spouses. After finding her own husband in a compromising position she decided to take revenge out on all cheating spouses and expose them for the cheats they are. One of the cases that her firm takes on is to expose her old boyfriend, the one who got away. The one she still dreams of. The one she would drop everything for. What she doesn’t expect is to be helped by her exes best friend, Colin.

I have to say that the ending was very surprising. What I thought would happen throughout most of the book took a different turn. It’s even better than I thought it would be.

If you are looking for a super fun summer book to read I would definitely recommend this book.

I read a reader copy via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to write a review. This was the first book in the Liars Series. Blaire is co owner of a PI Firm "Dirty Exes" that specializes in exposing Cheaters. Things get a little complicated when her newest case is an old boyfriend, the one that got away. His best friend Colin agrees to help her investigate and before she knows it she finds herself attracted to both men. No spoiler here, but this is a great book with lots of funny scenes. The characters are well developed and likeable and the story is very entertaining. You will love this book.

Dirty Exes will have you smiling, laughing and possibly wanting to be stuck in a the middle of a very hot, very delicious looking man sandwich.

In this we have Blaire who is in the business of exposing cheaters having been a victim of one herself. Except this time the man she's been hired to expose, Jessie Beckett. is essentially the one that got away. Throw in his hot best friend Colin and what you have is a complicated yet very seductive and enticing hot mess?

Rachel Van Dyken's writing will suck you in and have you giggling with some of the scenes in this book. I honestly flip flopped a bit between Jessie and Colin. At one point honestly thinking ahhh just give me both. Yes I am greedy but couldn't be helped since RVD always writes the men that you can't help but fall for even if they sometimes do questionable things is. LOL.

I'm a huge fan of this series already and I absolutely can't wait for the next one. This is the perfect summer read.

This was fantastic! It's slightly different than normal Rachel but still the same funny writing that gives you all the feels!!! Rachel is amazing at sucking you in and making you want to keep reading. This book was written in a different form but easy to follow and makes you love it more!

Dirty Exes by Rachel Van Dyken. I've read past books by this author and have enjoyed them. Where I still enjoyed this book it wasn't a favorite. I liked the characters and dialogue. I still look forward to reading more books by this author.

Dirty Exes is the first book in the Liars, Inc. series. While some of the characters from the Wingmen, Inc. series have cameos, I didn't feel like I had to read those to understand these but I will absolutely put those on my list to be read soon. Blaire owns Dirty Exes with her best friend Isla and dedicates herself to getting dirt and humiliating cheaters and their bad behavior. She of course has reasons for this. Jessie is "the one who got away" for Blaire. A new client, however, will bring her face to face with the man and doing this particular job may get a bit hairy for her but she is dedicated to seeing justice done, no matter who it is. What she never saw coming was his sexy best friend Colin. What happens has you laughing, sighing and swooning. I really loved this story and look forward to the second book. Super sexy and funny read.

This is another great read from Rachel Van Dyken. If you’ve read Wingmen INC, then you already know who Blair is. She’s Ian’s sister and part of the reason he started Wingmen.

I loved the characters in this story. Well, everyone except Vanessa. She’s the devil. I swear. I wish Blair and Isla would have beat her! Or Rachel can do a re-write to write me in and I’ll do it!

Colin, AKA “basement dweller” is an amazing guy.

Jessie is also.

Everyone is just stuck in a hard spot because of lies and omissions, plus some manipulation. I felt for them all.

Jessie was a sucker though. He was being manipulated and he knew it, but it didn’t put a stop to it.

I love how everything worked out. I was cheering for Mr. man-bun the whole time!

I loved it! It really surprised me to find 3 different points of view. But it was perfect! Sometimes the idea of the ideal that you have in your head is not the right one. You could just be wishing to go back to the lesser of your past evils or the only option that felt good in your past. Like Blaire and Jessie think. But the what ifs can prevent them from recognizing in their present someone even better. The chemistry she has with Colin is off the charts and worth testing. Situations get all jumbled up, secrets become bigger and more difficult to hide, Colin becomes persistent and Jessie feels desperate... it's all a big situation where communication is key and all of them are barely using it. I recommend this read, it just helps realize that you never know best. That maybe new and unknown is better.

I haven't met a Rachel Van Dyken book yet that I haven't liked, and that streak continues with Dirty Exes.

This is Ian from the Matchmaker's Playbooks little sister Blaire's story, and we do get a couple of glimpses of Ian in this story too.

What a great start to the Liars Inc story, and if this is what we can expect from the rest of the series, I am hooked.

Blaire is a little heartbroken and a lot p!ssed off - and as I read I couldn't blame her.

Jessie is her new target for her PI business, and whilst I know I am supposed to love him, ugh nope, it was always all about Colin for me. This may sound like a love triangle -or love square really with other people involved - but really it isn't.

There is a little bit of everything in this story. It is a great mix of laugh, drama, romance. Full of friendship, second chances, and dirty cheating liars.

I liked it so much I read it in one sitting.

This could well turn out to be a favourite series from Ms Van Dyken, and I can't wait to see what she brings us next.

** will be on blog during blog tour 8th June **

I love it when my favorite authors write a new series. Especially Rachel Van Dyken. Dirty Exes is the first book in the Liar's, Inc. series. And I feel like I could write this review just using quotes from the book. I was highlighting like a mad woman, giggling, sighing, cursing, swooning and making side eyes. Dirty Exes has two leading men and one heroine, but it's not really a love triangle. It's not cheating like you think. Just read it, trust me. Blaire is Ian's sister (swoon), and she and her best friend Isla, have both been cheated on and left broken, so they started a PI company called Dirty Exes. They catch cheating spouses. They are good at it. They feel happy when they help uncover the lying cheaters. Until their new client is Jessie Beckett. A man Blaire dated years ago. He was perfect for her. He's the one who got away. She always wondered 'what if' and compared every man to Jessie. She can still do her job, right? Even though she has feelings for the supposed cheater? Yes, and no. But a sexy as hell bartender, aka Jessie's best friend Colin, wants to help. There's a long history of friendship, but Colin wants to actually help Jessie. Being attracted to and wanting Blaire more than air wasn't in the cards. But he can't stop himself. He and his sexy abs, sweet mouth, the hair, oh God, the hair, and perfect…everything are going to convince Blaire to take a chance on him. But Jessie. Blaire still thinks she wants him even though he might be cheating. What's a girl to do? Take a chance on a new, fun, sexy man or try to see what she was missing with the old, sexy one? Jessie's kisses were what dreams were made of. Would it still be that way? Not gonna lie, this story gave me anxiety! I wanted to know what was going to happen. Who was that? What did they say? She did what? There was so much juicy stuff I could barely contain my emotions! I had a favorite from the very beginning and I might have sqeeeeeeed at the end! Rachel knows what she's doing guys. She's never let us down before! Overall, I loved every word. Colin is just everything. Blaire is fun and hopeful. Isla is the perfect best friend and Jessie is funny, sexy and needs more laughs in his life! I can't wait for Dangerous Exes!!

She's the type who would stay, I'd want her to stay. Because women like that were the ones you kept forever.

His kiss was more of a plunder, a hunt for treasure, a search-and-rescue mission with his tongue that made me beg to get lost gain so I could have another taste.

His face was innocent, his body wicked. He was epitome of every woman's fantasy. From his full, sinful lips to his rock-hard body.

"Blaire?"
"Yup?"
"Did you hear anything I just said? Should I give my ass and you a minute alone?"
YES! "No."

3.5 stars

Like so many books I went into this one completely blind.  I hadn't read the blurb so I really didn't know what to expect.  It had a curious start that made me wonder what this book was going to be about.  That question was quickly answered and I was excited to see where she was going to take this story.

Blaire was an interesting character.  I both liked and disliked her throughout the book.  She went back and forth emotionally throughout the book that while informational began to bother me after awhile.  Her interactions with both her bestfriend and Jessie's are where I liked her the most.  She seemed more put together around them then she was when she was inside her own head.   Jessie wasn't a character that I really connected with.  He came off as kind of a pushover which I wasn't expecting and made it hard for me to like him.

I did really enjoy the storyline of this book.  It wasn't something I'd read before so that really caught my attention and made me take notice.  There were a lot of scenarios that I wasn't expecting, so the element of surprise in this book was strong and that's not something I often see in books.  All and all it was a fun read but, not one that grabbed hold of me and never let go.

Things I Liked

Blaire and Isla they became best friends because they where both cheated on and then they both became PI's and that's how Dirty Exes was born. I love how Isla and Blaires brother always tell her how it is and really doesn't let her get away with anything. 

Colin OMG he is funny and pretty much talk you into or out of anything. He and Jessie have been best friends since they where little. Colin and Blaire, there chemistry is pretty HOT.

Jessie is a retired NFL player he loves to do charity work he;s pretty much anybody's dream guy.

Things I Didn't Like 

Vanessa, she is a very self center very ugly on the inside kind of person and her true reasons for hiring The Dirty Exes is very wrong and is just plain and simple a witch.

This book wasn't my favorite of Rachel Van Dyken's books. The Bet series and the Eagle Elite series will always be my favorites from her.

Dirty Exes is the first book in the Liars, Inc. series by one of favorite authors, Rachel Van Dyken. If you follow my reviews then you might know that if I am not a fan of reading the synopsis if I have read the author’s books before. With that said, I had no idea what this book was about when I started it this morning. I do however always read the synopsis before I write my reviews so I don’t spoil anything. This one summed it up perfectly so I will make the summary short.

Blaire hates cheaters. She was married to one. She now exposes them with her best friend, Isla. The other half of Dirty Exes, their PI firm. Two creative women being the lying two-timers down. Men. Women. They found them. Nothing really surprised her anymore except her next target. Her ex. The one who she never forgot. The man who made her weak in the knees with his kiss. The one who she was falling for before he was traded. The one who didn’t ask her to go with him to the next city in his NFL career. But now...he was just a man who might be cheating on his wife. His perfectly styled, and beautiful actress wife. It was time to get her spy on, I mean, he means nothing to her so why not expose him? She would get her revenge and a nice paycheck out of it. What could go wrong?

Colin. That’s what could go wrong. He complicated things. She didn’t understand why Jessie’s best friend was even talking to her. He knew who she was. Kind of. Sort of. He was really into the spy games and she didn’t get it. Maybe he was bored. Maybe he liked teasing her about her spying ways. Either way...he was trouble and she was already in enough with it. But he did have information and good hair. Jessie was trying to catch up with her and she didn’t want to go there but it was all part of the job, right? Right.

Ok. That’s it. I will say that I didn’t think I would finish this book in one day, I mean it happens a lot but not on the weekends. No quiet for the mom and all but it happened. Thank God because I did not want to put the book down. I had to know what was going to happen next. Who was going to fall for who. Who was going to make me swoon next. Who was going to piss me off next. Who was going to get me hot and bothered next. I had to know. It was like a drug, I tell ya. I fell hard, you guys. For two men. Two fictional men. Two fictional men who are very different. Oh, man...you just have to read it to feel what I feel for this men.

Overall...I am a total book boyfriend whore. I want them both. They made me laugh, swoon, get hot and bothered, laugh so more, and swoon even harder. And I can’t forget about the ladies. Blaire is strong, sassy, silly, and loves her whiskey. Isla, well, she is totally kicks ass.

P.S. Trust RVD!

Quotes:

“To the Batmobile!”

His face was innocent, his body wicked.

“Your friend needs a muzzle.”
“Tried it once, he actually liked it, shocker.” Jessie winked, and then he made his way toward us.

Blair and her best friend, Isla have a formed a company called Dirty Exes to catch cheaters in the act. Both have been burned in the past and felt the need to help others in similar situations. What turns a satisfying job meant to help others into one comical mess after another is when their next client is the wife of Blair's ex-boyfriend.

Rachel Van Dyken brought us another fun and entertaining read! This story was a riot! I loved every shenanigan Blair got her self into. Colin completely stole the show for me. He was a total player but so charming that I didn't even care. Jesse was a hot mess and I wanted him to grow some kahunas. Isla was just as entertaining as Blair. Vanessa, oh Vanessa. For the evil villian of the story she sure did a great job. I wanted to punch her.

I'm really looking forward to Isla's book next. I can already tell it will be just as entertaining. ARC provided by NetGalley.

After being cheated on in their respective relationships, Blaire and Isla begin a PI business, Dirty Exes, where they catch cheaters in the act and live stream it on Facebook. Things get complicated for Blaire when runs into the man she feels is the one who got away and is sent to investigate him. Through several complicated situations i which Blaire receives help, she discovers she can trust and love again.

I absolutely loved this! It was fun, entertaining, and the right amount of sexy. Highly recommend and can’t wait for the sequel. Will definitely read more by this author.

What a great start to Rachel Van Dyken’s new series Liars,Inc and if this book is anything to go by she has another brilliant series on her hands.
Blair and her best friend Isla decide to start their own business and after Blair’s ex husband was caught cheating on her Liar’s Inc seems the perfect opportunity why not put into practice what you have learnt and catch cheating partners for a fee.
If you love a great read that has the perfect mix of drama and laughs you won’t want miss this book it is all about friendships, second chances and some very funny laugh out loud moments. The plot is unique and characters are fun and loveable, all in all a great read and I’m looking forward to book 2.

It pains me,to say this, because I am a fan of Rachel Van Dyken in general, but Dirty Exes didn't work for me at all. Jessie was the only character I could stand. Blair was a bitter shrew and Colin was a selfish immature jerk. As a PI, and we are using that term loosely, because you have,to get a license which they never would have gotten, it's called research. You actually find,out who people are instead of assuming the worst of every man and believing every woman. Couldn't stomach any,of the characters or thier behavior, yet it was all wrapped up in about ten pages and it was all hunky dorey. Nope. Almost DNF numerous times, only powered through because it was a NetGalley request.

Blaire was hilarious in a true Van Dyken character can only be. I loved her obsession with licorice. Blaire is hired to prove that her one that got away is a cheater in hs marriage to his wife. Blaire and Jessie attraction is still there from all the years ago. While spying on Jessie, she meets his BFF Colin aka basement dweller. Blaire likes both men and they are vying for her affection.

Quirky dialogue that make you love the characters more, while Van Dyken puts them into hilarious it could happen situations makes for a great book. I can't wait for more in this series.
