Rachel had her hands full with the task of making Jessie more likable. I was a little biased against him since the first book. She did a great job turning him around and had me loving this couple. This book was funny, sexy and a little intense. It's an all around great read.

Not too often do I enjoy the 2nd book in the series more than the first, but that was the case with Dangerous Exes. I was looking forward to Jesse and Isla's story and Rachel Van Dyken didn't disappoint.
Isla was so fun, strong and real and Jessie well he was smoldering and a complete sweetheart deep down. There was plenty of humor and sexiness to this book and I would definitely recommend it.

Dirty Exes was fabulous and I wasn’t sure how RVD was going to top that with Dangerous Exes but she did. This book is about co-owner of Dirty Exes, Isla and the other co-owner Blaire’s ex-boyfriend Jessie. They are very entertaining as they try to get to each other before they get caught up and give into attraction for one second. After that they have to figure out how to fix it. There is a plan formed, powder blue wall, life lived for comfort not aesthetics, tea, chickens and one fabulous great aunt. This book is full of entertainment and I could not put it down. Isla and Jessie trying to get the other to give in is so funny to read and their tactics are so funny and not the best thought out plans. Anyone who is meticulous or a planner will get a kick out of it as well because Isla is my soul sister with her planner, lists, highlighters, pens and so on. Also let me tell you if you enjoyed any book with Grandma Nadine I’m almost certain Goo-Poh is her BFF. Happy reading you will not be disappointed.
This ARC was traded for my honest review

If you read Dirty Exes, then you have already met Jessie and Isla. This is a standalone, however, I was a bit cloudy on what happened at the end of that one so I read the last few chapters as a refresher to Jessie's situation. So while Jessie and Isla were friendly in Dirty Exes, they are now enemies.

Jessie feels completely betrayed by Isla and blames her (and his ex-wife) for his current situation. He wants to destroy her reputation like his got destroyed. Isla feels bad for what happened, but will not let him wreck her business. The mutual attraction is muddled in the mutual "hate". Good Lord above, Jessie and Isla have some fantastic chemistry!

I usually have problems with enemies to lovers because the animosity and conflict give me real anxiety. That did not happen here. Jessie and Isla help each other change and become their real selves with humor and feeling. I love when I don't want a book to end. I wanted more at the end. GREEDY!!

I absolutely love this book. Totally recommend reading this book.

Isla is a PI and a badass. She is one tough woman. Her ex did a lot of damage to her so much that she didn’t trust men. She was striped from everything but yet came back fighting. I love Isla and the way she worked.

Jessie is an ex-NFL. His ex wife is evil and he blamed everything on Isla. He thought his life was ruined. He had a wake up call. He is so sexy. I love Jessie.

When Isla and Jessie got together they were like any other couple. They would fight, argue and banter with one another. They couldn’t stand one another but that quickly changed. I loved them together. Isla aunt is no joke,she is hilarious. They made a great team.

I couldn’t put this book down. Rachel Van Dyken you are amazing and talented woman. Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to read what’s next.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I really enjoyed Dangerous Exes, it was smart and well written with a lot of "laugh out loud" moments. It was easy and enjoyable.

Loved this romance! It was a combination of friends to enemies, hate to love and fake relationship mixed in one. Isla and Jessie were too cute together. They meshed well even when they wanted to hate each other. They freed one another from their terrible pasts and allowed one another to be true.

The romance was well thought out and took time. Steamy scenes were well written. Secondary characters all amazing. My favorite secondary character had to be Goo-Poh as she was bold, funny and eccentric.

Great romance. Definitely plan to read the other books in this series.

This was an intense read! So much action. I enjoyed it even more than the first book in this series!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

If you have read the first book in this series (Dirty Exes) then you absolutely need to read this one. If you haven't read the first book then backtrack and read that one first! This story picks up where Dirty Exes left off just following Jessie and Isla and the trouble that they create. I don't want to give anything away but know that the story involves crazy chemistry, ocd tendencies, fake relationships, proposals, fights, a crazy aunt, dragons, a marriage bed, and chickens.. crazy right? Just read it, its great!

Laugh Out Loud Funny! I've read all of Rachel Van Dyken's books and when you can smile and snort-laugh when reading a book - I call it a good one. Rachel's books have a way to make you feel all throughout, to cheer for the characters and embrace them.
Jeremiah wanted revenge for everything Dirty Exe's PI took away from more specifically he wanted to run Isla! Only he didn't expect to feel.
Isla wasn't going to let Jeremiah take everything that's she has worked for - besides it was his ex-wife that caused all the problems.
This is a fantastic Enemies to Lovers book! I highly recommend it.

As alway Rachel did it again. This is a fun love story. The story somewhat started in the first book but you definitely don’t need to have read it to enjoy this book. The story of Jessie and Isla is fun, hot and funny. You will be laughing out loud and rooting for them by the end.

I received a copy from Skyscape via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I love Rachel Van Dyken's books. I was amazed and excited to receive a copy.
This is Rachel Van Dyken's second book in the Liars Inc Series. It's also a spin off from her Wingman Inc Series. This follows Blaire and Isla who became Private Investigators with their own business called Dirty Exes Inc, after being burned by their dirty, filthy, cheating exes. Now they bust your dirty, filthy cheating partners with their proverbial pants down.

This is Isla's, Blaire's best friend and business partner and Jessie, Blaire's exes book.
Isla is a planner, everything is in order, colour co-ordinated, highlighted. Takes her job and business seriously. Jessie is black and white, clean, neat, controlled.
He's also trying to get his life back on track after getting humiliated by his manipulating, conniving,  cheating ex-wife who she hired Dirty Exes to catch him cheating, but was the innocent party, his wife at the time made it look like he was. But it was her all along.
So now he's out for revenge and he's gunning for Isla and Dirty Exes to 'destroy her like she destroyed him, from the inside out.' Feeling betrayed and hurt he goes to the extreme to try and clear his name and ruin Isla and Blaire's company.
 
They both end up playing each other to see who gives in first. That is, until things get a little out of hand and a bit complicated. So to cover their butts they say that their together.
Could this work out for them to save Jessie's reputation and Dirty Exes?

Isla's Goo-Poh (Aunt in Chinese, due to Isla being half Chinese) is hilarious, she's all for traditions, everyone has that one relative that's a bit crazy. She's Isla's.

Isla's grandma is laugh out loud funny her.

Isla decided to be fake engaged to Jessie in order to save her business and to clear Jessie's name in the process, just as you would suspect a lot of things back fire on them but the things that didn't is that Jessie learns to loosen up and learn to let color into his life read the book and then you will understand what i mean by that. Isla learns to trust and to let loose with things that she can't control

A rom com with a crazy edge. Definitely not to be read if you’re after a serious romance novel, because this book is definitely not to be taken seriously. If you’ve read book 1 (and it is preferable that you have), you know that the characters are going to be a little on the ‘quirky’ side, for want of a word, I’m trying not to use the word crazy here. Following on from his sham of a marriage and divorce in book 1 Jesse Beckett is out for revenge. Number one on his hit list is Dirty Exes, and most specifically Isla Turner, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get payback. His plan however completely backfires when they are caught in a compromising position and forced to play nice in public in order to save both their reputations. Fun, flirty, adorably sexy with a lot of Swoonworthy moments. I adore both Jessie and Isla (Jessie the most, because, well, I’m a girl), I love their crazy, I love their inhibitions and I love their truths. I fell in love with Jessie in book 1, he is oh so perfectly flawed, and I’m desperate for him to get his HEA, he deserves it. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I liked Dirty Exes (book one), but I was really excited for Jesse and Isla’s book. Those two had my attention from the start, because I felt that there was something more to explore.

Dangerous Exes was just so much fun to read. I was invested in these character’s lives right from the start. I was rooting for Jesse and Isla to get their act together and instead of being on opposite teams and playing dirty, to play for their team. Once they figured a couple things and their games became more playful and flirtier it was so good!!!! Swoon!!

Jesse and Isla, couldn’t be more different, yet fit so perfectly. Isla was Jesse’s color, that pop of red that he desperately needed in his life, but wouldn’t accept. The whole book was Jesse and Isla’s foreplay, they tease, they fight, they get into heated situations, and then BAM!. One of my favorite parts was when they went to the football game! Damn, a game has never been so hot ;). The book starts by seeking revenge for hurt feelings, but we all know revenge is a dirty game.

“This isn’t over.” “Stop stalking me,” I whispered back ducking my head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. “You’re a good kisser, Isla.” He tilted my chin toward him. “But it’s not enough—I will shut you down, that I promise.”

Dangerous Exes, was hiarlous. Isla’s Goo-Poh (Aunt Betsy) was literally the icing on the already amazing cake. All I’m going to say is chickens, tea-potion, and dragons OH MY! Lol trust me you do not want to miss out on this.

It was an awesome follow up to book one. I am so happy while I was reading this. Jesse and Isla just made my heart happy and I was smiling from ear to ear.

ARC in exchange for honest review.

If you are in a book slump go and pick up this book and you will be cured.
If you read Dirty Exes then you definitely need to read this
I wasn’t sure what to expect this book was great.

Oh my gosh, I just loved this next book in the Liars Inc series! Isla and Blaire, whom we met in the first book, are partners of a PI firm that investigates spouses’ that cheat and provide proof of it....or not in some cases. Jessie is the case they take on in the first book and the second book is him getting revenge. He blames Isla for the downfall of his reputation because she took on his ex-wife’s crazy notion that he was cheating! However, Isla and Jessie come together in this book in a way that will have you laughing out loud and shaking your head at other times:) Absolutely worth a read, as is anything by this author in my opinion.

I loved it but would definitely recommend reading book one first otherwise you will be slightly lost with the dynamics of the book! Thank you RVD and Netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy for which I leave my willing and honest review.

I absolutely adored Isla and Jessie. Hate to love is one of my favorite tropes and Van Dyken did not disappoint. They end up in a pretend relationship to help smooth things over in the eyes of the media. Their banter was on point and you could really feel as their feelings towards each other changed as time went on. They have the sweetest coming together and it's the stuff of fairy tales.

Blaire and Colin are still around and a part of the story, which I always appreciate. It's nice to see how they all fit together and how they're a family.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me an opportunity to review this book for an advance reader copy.

I have been working my way through Rachel Van Dyken's books and stumbled across the first book in this series, Dirty Exes not too long ago and loved it! I was left wanting more, and that's when I learned of the next book in the series, Dangerous Exes, which I have been awaiting (impatiently) for.

Wow. Just wow. Where do I even start? If you've read book one in the series and thought that was a good read, hold on to your hats, because book two will take you for a wild ride! The beauty of this story is you are brought back to the worlds of Isla, Jessie, and the rest of the crew. The raw emotion that Rachel Van Dyken is able to portray is incredible. You go from being excited to angry, then full on belly laughing, to feelings of betrayal.. The roller coaster takes you on such an adventure that you don't want to put the book down. This was one of those reads that you pick up and don't want to walk away from until it's done.

At the end of the day, the trials and tribulations of Isla and Jessie will keep you on your toes and wanting more. I can't wait to see what Rachel is able to offer next!

This is the second book in series, and I love Rachel.. This is Isla's book she was the second partner in the PI firm Dirty Exes. I really hope you read the first book, Dirty Exes you will need it in order to understand the story line. In the first book we had met Jason he was Blaire's (other partner in firm) ex boyfriend from years ago, the one that got away. Blaire and Isla were hired by Jason's ex wife to catch him cheating.-go read first book. In this story Jason is on a mission to destroy Dirty Exes because he feels they destroyed his life, which I was a little upset about because it was his ex-wife Vanessa that was the culprit in all the things, she was really horrible, anywho so he is out to get them, mainly focusing all of his anger on Isla, he feels that Blaire will be ok because now she is has Colin. So Isla and Jessie have a war going on and as they start a fake relationship, it changes except he did something he shouldn't have and it can come crashing down on him..Bad Jessie..Anywho it was funny and something that you just needed at right time..I was so happy to have Blaire and Collin again, I just love him.
