This is book four in the Sorority Secrets series. I would recommend reading book one first, since that one explains the most about the premise of this series. Which is a little ridiculous...a fire burns down an animal shelter where the sisters of Beta Kappa Nu volunteer, leaving the animals homeless and seriously injuring the firefighting brother of one of the sorority sisters. In order to help raise money for medical bills and the shelter, the girls auction off their virginity.

Actually, now you don’t need to read the first book to understand what these books are about. That’s all you need to know! Each book is about a different sorority sister and the man who wins her in the auction.

Tall, Dark and Steamy was a little darker than the first three books. The story starts off with the hero firing an employee, and tells the reader how much he enjoys doing so. He doesn’t come off as a nice guy. He’s rich, he’s powerful, and he always gets his way. To that end, he’s put monitoring software on all his employee’s computers. Which is how he finds out his intern is auctioning off her virginity.

These books are short and steamy (I’d like to say sweet, but reading these out loud would make me blush). They are exactly what they promise to be: Dirty Bits. So no complaining about how ridiculous some of the things are that happen! Just go with it, and enjoy the ride. You’ll be glad you did. 😁

I was looking forward to Tall, Dark and Stormy because I have heard a lot about this author so I figured this was the perfect story to dip my toes in. I also read the rest of this series, and not only were the other stories good, but they managed to be interesting . While Tall, Dark and Stormy wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination. Jack our “hero” is just a douche, and not in that sexy bad boy way, just in the I’m a douche kind of way. Stacy our heroine, has absolutely no substance to her whatsoever. While sure, there is lots of steam to this story, unfortunately that’s all it is.

I can also tell this was written by a man. Only a man would think it’s hot to call a woman a slut, and think it’s a complement. Um, no.

Hot quickie that will keep you glued to the pages. I love how the office romance comes to play. You don't have to read the previous books in the Sorority Secrets collection because like the other authors Mickey Miller does a fantastic job giving you all the details behind this virgin auction. This is Stacy's story. I love how the whole boss things comes to play. Stacy has a crush on her boss Jack and once he stumbles upon everything things get hot fast. I love that Stacy isn't afraid to push her boundaries when it comes to Jack. These two are hot and you will love this couple. You really need to read this one.

Steamy short story about a sorority girl who fantasizes about her boss. He catches her in the fantasy and makes it a reality.

Is it an obsession or an attraction? While interning for Jack's company, Stacy auctions off her virginity to help a wounded firefighter. But the office attraction ends up to be more than she bargained for when her boss wins her in the auction. Will this lead to a night of passion or a sex filled office romance? Although a story filled with great characters and hot sex scenes, this story could have used more depth and emotion. But still an interesting read.

They say I’m a rich.You don’t become a billionaire without a strain of obsession bubbling within you. Strong and true, like a deep blue pilot light.It’s true, I don’t suffer fools. And I don’t have time to become emotionally involved.I loved once before. This is my curse. It keeps me focused.Until I see Stacy’s ad. The office intern, auctioning off her virginity for charity, right there on the screen.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Mickey Miller is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

This is my first book by this author. I’m kind of on the fence with this one. I just felt like it was all over the place. I’m still trying to get over Stacy is a bi JW. That’s....different. I keep chuckling over that one. Jack I guess is trying to be part Dom who loves to fire people. I’m not really sure but he’s got a sex dungeon in the basement of his bar so there is that. This one is just meh for me.

"His was a hostile takeover of my body."

I've really been enjoying this series and the opportunity to get a taste of some new-to-me authors without investing a huge amount of time. While the previous books in the series touched my emotions and were able to grab my attention and keep it from cover to cover, I struggled with this one. I was very intrigued with the storyline, but it just didn't deliver as much as I'd hoped. I wasn't able to connect with the characters as much as I'd hoped. Don't get me wrong, it's HOT, but it didn't quite take me deep enough for me to feel the HEA.

This book was so unbelievable and ridiculous that I could not believe it was part of this series. I have read most of the books in the series and this one...

First off, what billionaire CEO would get away with talking to an intern about sex and all the dirty things he want to do to her in the office? They had no relationship, but when he thinks she used company time for personal business, well he's going to teach her a lesson.

It just got worse from there and then there was a quicker than a lick marriage proposal...just horrible.

Well i know these are suppose to be "dirty bits" but this one could have used more. We have Stacey who is in lust with her boss. He finds out about the virginity auction and goes all alpha on her...which the scenes are hot. Its just the rest is like what? Jack has his own issues but i feel thisnjust could have used a bit more length to make it great.

SOOO...this book was...different. Like, utterly different than the other three in this series, and I'll be honest...I wasn't a fan. It was darker. Both have dead exes. He seemed more hung up on his than she did hers. I didn't like either of the main characters. Neither seemed to have an ounce of personality. I don't know what more to say about it. The entire plot (the heroine being bisexual and Jehovah Witness. The hero's weird sex dungeon in the basement of his club). The whole book just felt awkward and the relationship forced. Oh well, can't love them all I guess!

Damn, I was not expecting that. This book is full fantasy to the bone of it. Something I really liked about it besides how steamy it is, is the sense of humor in it. Loved Jack's character and wouldn't mind having more of him any day. He is overpowering but that is exactly how Stacy wants him to give her all her firsts. She is molded to him with an attraction stronger than she has ever felt before, causing her to be his dirty little perfect sub. Reading the story felt like being part of someones deepest desires and fetishes. Which makes this one very different from all the other books in the series. It is a page turner for sure.

Cute story. I love these Dirty Bits books. Being able to read a book over my lunch hour is terrific.

Virgin auctions. HOT HOT HOT sex scenes. Happily Ever Afters. All of my favorites.

This one seemed to have a lot of romance novel cliches in it.

Hello, Mr. H. Loved him and Stacy. A great boss/employee story full of steamy moments, and great characters.

This is the third book in the 'Dirty Bits'-series I have read and I am totally into the boss-employee trope so I requested this. However, it turned out quite different than I expected. The hero antagonized me immediately in chapter 1 and I somehow did not like the story at all. It is much more erotic than the others I have read (that is not a bad thing mind you) but it is not my kind of erotic. A bit too OTT for my taste. I was quite surprised this one was so different, but every novella has another author so that can happen I guess.
