Book Description

February 16, 2010
Following the phenomenal success of Essence bestsellers Dirty Red and Still Dirty, Vickie M. Stringer takes readers on another bumpy ride in Dirtier Than Ever with Red, Bacon, and Q—the crazy love-hate triangle who makes the series a favorite among urban fiction fans.

 

Q wished that Bacon had killed Red when he had the chance. Red knew that Q’s career as a hustler was over and he was counting on starting a new legit business with the money he had made. He had once believed her when she promised that the money didn’t mean a thing and she would give it all up to be with him.

 

Bacon returns from prison and suddenly Q is left for dead. With Q out of the picture, Bacon now has Red to himself. His sights are set on being the top hustler with Red by his side. He believes Red has fi nally changed when she reveals the truth about her past.

 

But all comes to a head when the snooping detective, Thomas, suspects Red’s involvement in Q’s getting shot and the murder of Zeke, Q’s best friend. With two murders, a tumultuous love affair, and

money on her mind, Red must make a decision . . . does she turn over a new leaf or revisit her dirty ways of old?

 

Gritty, steamy, and intense, Stringer delivers another page-turning caper about a hustler in high heels who is Dirtier Than Ever.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Urban street lit doesn't get any dirtier than Stringer's series (Dirty Red, Still Dirty) about Raven "Red" Gomez, a former prostitute and drug dealer who keeps making questionable choices. This third entry opens with a desperate Red shooting her mate, Quentin "Q" Carter, because her perverted ex-con lover, Bacon, wants her to-and she'll do anything to recover her stolen fortune. To reward Red, Bacon subjects her to torture and humiliation. Q hangs on to life, facing possible paralysis, while his mother and Chass Reed, his former girlfriend, stay by his side. Detroit Detective Thomas, who's bugging Q with his investigation of Zeke Morrison's death, now wonders who shot Q. Having reconnected with the trauma of her childhood abuse, Red systematically plots revenge, facing each obstacle and enemy with chilling chutzpah. Stringer's well-paced action and Red's relentless anger keeps the pages turning, but her revenge turns out almost as brutal and nasty as her tormenters' crimes. A cliffhanger ending indicates we haven't seen the last of raunchy Red.

4.0 out of 5 stars Karma Is A Funny Thing, April 7, 2011
By 
In the third book in the Dirty series, Dirtier Than Ever, by Vickie Stringer, the author does not disappoint readers with a new installment of drama, mischief, and mayhem. Readers are reintroduced to Bacon who has just gotten out of prison and ready to put his plan into action. Bacon will stop at nothing to get what he believes he deserves. Quincy has gotten out of the game. He has let his feelings for Raven Gomez better known as Red die. Quincy was relieved to be done with Red until she pays him one last visit.

Red realizes the true meaning of karma when she is once again stuck in a bad situation with Bacon's name written all over it. Bacon tends to forget how much of a fighter Red is and that her mind is always working in survival mode. When all is said and done, will Red have the last laugh?

Dirtier Than Ever is about suspenseful revenge. The characters are still up to no good, which makes for an exciting book of twists and turns. Readers will enjoy this page-turning book of entertainment. Having followed the series from the beginning it has become more intriguing as the characters and their wrongdoings unfold. I recommend Dirtier Than Ever to urban and street-lit fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars What makes a woman so beautiful, so ugly?, March 5, 2011
What happens to a woman scorned? Does she shrivel up like a raisin in the sun, or does she come at you with a vengeance and hope you run!

Beautiful, Sexy Raven Gomez unaffectionately know also as Red, inside she's cold, her heart hard trusting nothing and no one. What makes a woman so beautiful, so ugly?

Red has used and discarded so many people no one would spit on her if she was on fire. She's amassed her fortune becoming a writer and padding it with money she's swindled from others. But now she finds herself in a sticky situation, that has taken everything she's acquired and lands her back in the hands of someone she betrayed. Has she finally crossed the wrong one? Will she find a way out and come back with a side order of revenge and put all the players in motion and watch them fall like dominoes? But at what cost? Maybe her life!

I must say I really enjoyed this story and since this is my first read about the infamous Red, I'll go back to her beginning while I wait patiently to see what happens next!
