Sometimes to play dirty, you gotta dig deep… Landscaper Nathan LeBeau knows exactly how to use his big equipment to make the earth move. The Native American bad-boy has a reputation for getting filthy—in and out of the bedroom. So when good-girl Tate Cross needs dirt work done, she hires the wickedly hot and surprisingly intuitive Nathan—secretly hoping she’ll get more than just her flowerbeds plowed. Smart and sexy Tate is exactly the type of woman Nathan’s been looking for. But he wants more than another fling, so he digs in his heels to prove to Miss-I-Don’t-Need-Romance that taking things slow will lead them to something real. But Tate isn’t interested in being romanced—even when Nathan’s sweet and charming ways are hard to resist. She’ll use every tool at her disposal to convince the former player to play with her and that getting down and dirty together is as real as it gets.

“Update your bio,” they said, “And make it fun and quirky.”

I’m relieved they didn’t request a kinky bio since I do write erotic romance. So here’s a new bio for a writer who’s been published for TWO DAMN DECADES.

~ Lorelei James knows far too much about pop culture and little about math/science-y stuff which she blames on her GenX upbringing. She’s written a bunch of books in the Rough Riders series, the Blacktop Cowboys® series, the Mastered series, the Need You series, the Want You series, and several stand-alones. Many of those titles have hit the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. Her books have won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award, the CAPA Award, and in 2016, RT Book Reviews presented her with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Erotic Romance.

Cool, right? But Lorelei also has a secret identity. Technically it’s not completely secret since it's her real name ~ as Lori Armstrong, she writes dark, gritty mysteries. She’s been nominated for five Shamus Awards—won two—for books in her Julie Collins series, Mercy Gunderson series and a short story, as well as earning nominations for a High Plains Book Award and winning a Willa Cather Literary Award. Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her husband, their corgi Copper, more craft projects than she’ll ever finish, more books than she’ll ever read and all those pesky fictional characters residing in her head, begging her to tell their stories.

I loved reading Dirty Deeds, all about Tate Cross a young women who is a Graphic Artist and who is renovating her Aunt Beatrice's old Victoria while on a break from her job & Nathan LeBeau her BFF'S older brother who is hired as her landscaper because she received an emergency Blight notice from the city. Tate is in town for the next three months to get her inheritance fixed up and sold. Right now she's up to her eyeballs in bills and has just received a Blight notice from the town of Spearfish, South Dakota. She has no idea how to resolve this issue. So she goes to visit her BFF Val Westerfield whose husband Richard is a Lawyer to see if he can help with a Lean situation. In exchange for his help she agrees to watch the children when VAl goes into the hospital to give birth to her fifth child. Also while agreeing to babysit she mentions the Blight notice, and Val says you should talk to my brother Nathan because he does Landscaping on the side and in exchange for his expertise you can teach him Art lessons which he needs badly! The author wrote an amazing story about two people who wind up needing each other in more ways then one! I've read everything this author has ever written, and love everyone of them. They are always long amazing story's that grab you on page one and keep you enthralled until the very last word! So I encourage you to read her books!

Just looking at the cover of this book got me excited to read it! Wow...could Lorelei James have gotten a hotter man? This story was a easy going contemporary romance that grabbed my attention and kept me interested until the end.

Tate is a graphic artist who temporarily moves to South Dakota to settle her aunt's estate. The problem is she needs to have the yard fixed before she can sell the house. So she makes a deal with her best friends very sexy brother... A purely sexual relationship in exchange for the landscaping that is needed for her aunt's house. Nathan also needs help with his blueprint drawings and who better to do it than a graphic designer??

Tate isn't looking for anything serious and she is only in town for about 6 weeks. Nathan, on the other hand, is tired of dealing with one night stands and is looking for a true romance. The bantering between Tate and Nathan was fun to read and the sex was nothing short of hot.

The plot was interesting and the writing flowed nicely. I have read a lot books by Lorelei James and I have never run across one I didn't like. This is a sweet romance with well developed main characters. I did notice there were not a lot of supporting characters which, in my opinion, would have made the story even better.

All in all it was an enjoyable book. The romance was sweet and the chemistry between Tate and Nathan was palpable. Definitely worth a read :)

Denver native and graphic designer Tate Cross is in Spearfish, South Dakota for the summer to fix up and sell the house she was left by her late Aunt. Tate had spent summers in Spearfish as a teenager and was happy to spend time catching up with old friends but runs into an issue with the city when they require landscaping upgrades due to the house’s location and zoning. Tate’s friend Val suggests her brother Nathan LeBeau who has been doing some landscaping work in addition to his business installing utilities but needs help with the artwork for his plans. Tate and Nathan come to an agreement that he’ll get art lessons and he can give her lessons in sex. At almost thirty Tate feels its time for a no strings sex relationship and she wants to know what she’s been missing. Nathan reluctantly agrees even though he is tired of no strings sex only relationships and wants romance to prove he can be more than the fun guy. Nathan talks Tate into taking it slow and giving him time to try some romance even though she is frustrated with the lack of action. What ensues is the story of a realistic couple that end up with more than just a no strings summer. Dirty Deeds is a fun and realistic romance between two likable characters with a great cast of supporting characters.

Landscaper Nathan LeBeau digs sewers for a living but he wants more. He is a Native American bad-boy with a reputation for getting filthy—in and out of the bedroom.
So when Tate Cross needs landscaping done at her inherited house, she makes a deal with hot as sin Nathan. A deal that should benefit the both of them. A no strings fling ...
Tate is a good girl who happens to also be a smart, graphic artist. Exactly the type of woman Nathan’s been looking for but he wants more than another fling. So he digs in his heels to take things slow, to show he can do the romance thing, in hopes that it will lead to something real.
But Tate doesn't want romance even though Nathan is sweet, charming and hard to resist. She will put the brakes on things and demand he put out or go away. But will getting down and dirty together be all that they have?

I love this story in so many ways it teaches us not judge a book but it's cover ! Lorelei is always such a great writer and always gives us complex characters that feel like people we wanna know in real life. This book is no different in any of those areas.
Tate and Nathan seem like to completely different people when you start the book but as you dig deeper into the characters you see how much alike they are and how much they want the same things in life. They are perfect for each other.
The other part of this book I love is how Lorelei can not just write about the complexities of her characters but she can show the beauty of the geographical area where the story is set without boring you to death. By reading Ms. James books I feel as if I have been to South Dakota, Wyoming or Minneapolis. The writing in this book is superb and the character so complex and their relation wrought with challenges that I've not scene an author deal with and with such beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of better James' books

Dirty Deeds refers to the fact that Nathan LeBeau digs sewerage ditches (amongst other things)! Not your typical Romance male lead? However he "trades" with Tate 'sex lessons' for 'art lessons' to help him out with his new career - landscape gardening. Tate wants spontaneous sex...only thing is, Nathan doesn't want sex full stop (yeah, really) he wants to have a romantic relationship instead.... the anticipation is worth the wait, he says...and yes it is...

Though an earlier Lorelei James book, don't be put off by the previous 3 star review as it is up there with the best of the Rough Riders stories.

Reviewed in Australia on March 2, 2015

Lorelei is one of my favourite authors and this is another good book to add to the collection. I wouldn't say it's a "must read" but it's an easy read. There is more sexual tension than the actual "deed" and the two main characters are cute but somewhat frustrating. A few times I was like "get on with it already" - but Lorelei is a great writer so I persevered and it was worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tate is a fun loving shy woman
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2017

Tate is a fun loving shy woman, dealing with a house sale, alongside work issues, with what appears to be no opportunities to live the wild life between the sheets.

Nathan is a landscaper, with nothing but wild between the sheets, but is looking to slow things down and maybe commit to someone for more than a few nights.

Since Tate's best friend is Nathan's sister, Tate comes up with a plan to get her gardens in order on both her house and personal life, so who better to help her out but her best friends brother? A player both in the garden and in his personal life, what could go wrong.......? Particularly when flowers bloom when they meet.....

I really enjoyed the push and pull of this book. The emphasis is more on the characters and the connection they share which is different to other Lorelei book's, but I found no less enjoyable. Their chemistry is hot and jumps off the page. Kinda makes me need a Nathan to sort out my weeds lol.

Great read

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot and sexy romance
Reviewed in Canada on August 12, 2010

Lorelei James doesn't disappoint. She is one of my favourite erotic romance authors and she's done it again.

Nathan, normally the love 'em and leave 'em sort, decides he wants to try the romance and gradual get-to-know-you type of relationship. Perhaps it will help him find the "something" missing in his life. If not, he'll accept his lot in life and go back to the same old, same old.

Tate, who is done with the "relationship" kind of guys that don't seem to be the ones for her or let her down, decides she wants to experience a no-holds-barred sexual relationship with a sexy/raunchy lover for a change. She knows she'll be leaving town at the end of summer and will never see the guy again so there's no worry of becoming emotionally attached.

The build up of sexual tension between these two characters gets them all hot and bothered as well as the readers. I don't want to give the story line away, but it was a very enjoyable read (and not just for the sexy scenes!!). While I like my erotic romances HOT, I also like them to have a believable story. I had trouble putting the book down even when I HAD to go do something else.

If you like James' other books you'll like this one too. If you haven't read any others yet, try the Rough Rider Series - they are VERY steamy. I have them all in my "keep" collection where "Dirty Deeds" is going as well.

The only thing I don't like about her books, is that the editing is very poor which is why I only give 4 stars. There are a lot of grammatical errors and/or words missing and punctuation errors which make it VERY distracting. It seems to get worse towards the end of the books as though the person editing is rushing to find out the ending but not correcting along the way. Shame on the publisher/editor.

Kudos to Amazon.ca though - order delivered day before it was due - 3 days after it was placed. Many, many thanks.

when you're in the mood for explicit sex and romance, you cant go wrong with Lorelei James, and she doesn't disappoint with this book either. Both of the characters are relatable, though you do want to slap them for not communicating with each other, but if there was no misunderstanding there would be very little story in any romance novel. Its no tolkein, but it's quite good escapism never the less.
