If you are looking for a fluffy Hallmark type Christmas book this isn’t it. While the setting is around Christmas time it’s more Die Hard mixed with Charlies Angels. FBI agents, vigilante justice and kidnappings are on the menu for Dirty Ex-Max yet It’s so much more there are crushes that no one wants to explore and one quirky heroine and a hot FBI agent who is more good cop to his partner Mack.


Quinn is down on her luck when she asks her dear friend for a job at her bar. She’s willing to do anything even scrub the men’s bathroom. Gross right? She also knows Daria has an alter ego alongside the sassy bar owner and she wants in. Sad thing is is that Quinn is a mess a hot klutzy mess. She can’t even walk up stairs without falling down them. She also harbors a crush on Reed the aforementioned hunky FBI agent and he has one her as well but her past brief relationship with his best friend stops him from pursuing her. You know the bro code and all that jazz. When Quinn gets word of missing girls she wants to help so when she’s placed as a decoy as someone she once knew wedding things go epically wrong in truly Quinn fashion dragging Mack, Daria and Reed with her.


I wasn’t a hundred percent sold on Quinn she almost acted immature at times. Sure, she was vivacious and a disaster, but her actions just spoke to me as almost childish. When Mack sent her out there with a weapon I was concerned. I did like Reed though, but he was so straight laced at times. You wanted to rough him up and get him dirty. Wink wink nudge nudge. This is a quick little read that will carry on with Daria’s story sometime soon.
