She calls him “The Beast.”
Diesel, the MC’s Sergeant at Arms and enforcer, is tasked with not only keeping the club’s property and its members safe, but also taking care of “business” when needed. His motto, “live free, die free,” means he sees most women as nags and clingers and he wants none of that. The last thing he needs is to have one sitting on the back of his bike and trying to dictate his life.
Unlike the other DAMC women, Jewel wants to be an ol’ lady. Being born and raised within the club, her goal is to earn her place on back of a brother’s bike. But not just anyone’s. No, she had to pick the biggest, most pig-headed and quick-tempered of the bunch. The one she nicknamed “The Beast,” because that’s how he acts both in and out of bed. She’s wanted Diesel for so long she’s not about to give up the fight to become his. She’s bound and determined to win this battle one way or another.
Diesel fights his desire for Jewel until a rival MC threatens what he realizes is his, and no one gets away with that. No one.
Note: This book can be read as a standalone. It includes lots of steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, some violence and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who like to take charge, this book is for you.
Down Dirty: Diesel (Dirty Angels MC, #4) Reviews
-
Opening scene is with 3 club bunnies and there are other Several scenes with ow, heroine knows the Zero is a manwhore and she’s desperately chasing him. Heroine has seen the Zero with ow even before. Zero is infamous for banging ow in the bar bathroom and everyone has seen his ass banging away.
Heroine finally manage to have sex with Zero after chasing for so long but he doesn’t want to have an old lady and he has told the heroine several times that it’s just sex. -
This was an okay book but it was a little hard to see the connection between Diesel and Jewel. Diesel was just a little too unemotional when it came to Jewel. He had the whole grumpy and silent thing going on, which I love in some heroes, but there didn't seem to be any substance to him other than being a manwhore. In the end I barely believed he even liked Jewel let alone love her.
-
This one was longer than the other 3 and not as great, as far as the couple IMO.. Thought Diesel's story would have been better. Considering the build up regarding him in the other books. But no. He was more the chick here. Being insanely difficult when it came to accepting what everyone else already knew in regards to his feelings about Jewel... Jewel was just... I have nothing great to say. So I'll leave that alone. I don't dislike her, nor do I like her either.. I have no feelings where she's concerned. They had hot moments, but after awhile even that got boring...
The moving of the ongoing plots and what occurred there is what I enjoyed the most with this book. And is the only reason this book got 3 stars from me.
I will be back for book 5, but taking a quick breather from the DAMC.
Based on books 1-4 I would recommend this series. -
I was so excited about this one because I loved the blurb and I had the impression that it was going to be one of those "Hero pushes the heroine until something bad happens and he realizes he's shit and grovels back to her" books which are MY FAVORITE added with the MC lifestyle which I LOVE....You can tell I had high expectations.
Sadly, it fell flat. D was just too nonchalant for Jewel's feelings. Jewel was such a push over and masochist. No grovel. Nothing. And crappy epilogue.
The author made Diesel too much , and stripped Jewel of a lot of her potential. She had the whole "bad ass biker babe who loves her man but also has dignity and class - enough to not make herself a booty call, motto: i love you but i can live without you" aura that could have been portrayed properly but instead we were given "i'm a biker babe and i love you so if you only want sex i'll be your sweet butt until maybe you get your head together and maybe you'll pick me".
Not safe
hero has multiple OW sex in the beginning
frequent mention of hero's past sexcapades
mention of rape/torture -
** I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review **
I came across Jeanne St. James' motorcycle series by accident, but as soon as I finished the first book in the series I was hooked.
Diesel is not my favorite hero of DAMC (It's a tie between Jag and Zak), he's too stubborn and hard in a way, I guess, most of real-life bikers are. He's a man of few words and grunts are his usual response to basically everything. However, he's also incredibly protective and sweet when it comes to seeing women getting hurt.
I did not expect to like Jewel and was afraid that she would be too clingy and soft as she has been in love with Diesel for years, while he spent most of his time in the women's bathroom ;) , but she did not come out as such. She knew just how to twist Diesel's mind and make him realize what he is missing in his life.
I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of DAMC series, as well as the spin-off with Diesel's bad ass ex-special op/marine/or whatever they are guys. -
2 ⭐⭐ - Meh!
=============== -
Yeah, he's an asshole who can't keep his dick in his pants.
I'll leave this one to those that think this type of loser is "lovable" even though he's a shallow piece of crap who is a future cheater guaranteed.
Heroine sounds like your usual stupid spineless heroine with no self esteem who chases after this "catch" while he's busy screwing other women.....eye roll....pathetic. -
I've been waiting for this one for a while now and had the privilege of being provided with a beta copy. I must say, JSJ has done a bang-up job creating a loveable beast. Diesel is a brute in every way, and yet you know that his heart is as big as his...umm muscles? Sometimes I found myself getting a little frustrated with Jewel and her behavior, but I also understand that love makes you do nutty things. And boy oh boy does she love her beast. JSJ has once again drawn me into her MC world and made me long for a tattooed sleigh-riding caveman of my own, because you know, even though their English might be atrocious, there isn't anything more important to these men than family and their ol' ladies. I loved this book. Diesel was everything I'd hoped he'd be and more. Knocked it out of the park! Can you give a book more than 5 stars?
-
I didn't like this one at all.
Hero was a manwhore through and through and he liked his freedomhood too much. His favourite hoby was to bang a woman against a wall in the wash room. He felt that women were clingers and nags and wouldn't be caught dead with a regular woman let alone an ol' lady. I didn't like him much.
Then again the heroine wasn't much better either. She had been lusting after Hero all her life. She chased him and offered herself sexually even when he made it clear booty calls were all that he was interested in. Cringe worthy moments right there.
2Stars because I like my heroes compassionate and my heroines with dignity and them H/h were just not. -
Diesel and Jewel both drove me nuts. Him for his whoring ways, not caring who saw, even Jewel, her for still wanting a man that slept with everyone who came near him. Both were playing games, it was stupid. What was worse was everyone in the MC knew what was going on, yet neither warned the other, they just waiting until the two were settled as a couple.
I found the other things to be more interesting, like what was going on with Pierce and Diesel's Shadows, those men are scary and have some great skills. -
Ok, I am going to say it Diesel is my favorite.
I can’t help it he is just soo yummy, he and Jewel just work. I loved that she was so, go with the flow but also that she stuck with her guns about somethings. She wants what she wants and is willing to fight for it but give Diesel what he needs. Only I think he figured out his needs were a lot more “needy” they even he would have ever thought. Haha
It really is great to see an Alpha male fall hard for their woman. It makes the story so interesting that you can’t put it down.
100% love that I was expecting one thing only for it to not happen; it was a relief to not be able to predict the way a story is going to go and just enjoy the ride.
Let's talk narrators, I have been a fan of Wen’s for a long time and when I heard him as Diesel I was sunk in all the good ways. He just has that voice that works for this gruff MC enforcer. Ava lordy bee; the woman can make each heroine unique and have their own voices. I loved that so much. Sometimes when the same narrator does a whole series the books all seem to blend but I can tell you that is not the case with this one. I am loving 'em and can’t wait for the next installment. -
He doesn't want an ol' lady and she wants him as her ol' man...can there be a future for Diesel and Jewel?
There is just something about a grunting alpha biker that I love and this series works for me. I loved how both of these characters stayed true to themselves. We get a little bit of a surprise concerning one person's parentage, some resolution from a previous story and get to see the direction the club is going. I eagerly await the next book -
Diesel decided a long time ago that he never wanted a woman to tie him down and it doesn’t matter that his all his brothers found the women they love. He is the enforcer of the club and never has sex with a woman more than once let alone for an entire night.
Jewel was raised in the MC and she wants to be an old lady but not just anybody’s old lady she wants to be Diesel’s old lady and she has the determination and patience to make it happen.
A steamy night together leads to casual relationship but will he realize she is what he wants before it is too late?
Their journey to be together is filled with drama and suspense but they are a perfect match as Jewel’s feisty personality matches up against his gruff demeanor. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. -
Yes to Diesel!!
Absolutely loved this story...the second time around was just as good or better! Diesel is all alpha and is fighting his attraction to the beautiful Jewel. Jewel gives Diesel a taste of his own medicine and its a sweet sexy ride to see. Absolutely love this series! I don't read an entire series a second read but this one is that good. Happy Reading!! -
Best of the series so far!! I can't explain it but this one had more heart and soul but still had all the steamy goodness like the others.
Jewel is DAMC through and through. Born and raised. She isn't like some of the women who don't want to be an old lady and be "property" of a club member....no she wants it and feels like she needs it too. Wants that property patch and wants to ride on her man's bike. Only problem is who she wants. She wants the one man that says "Born free, die free". The one who never wants a woman on his bike and who all the other women have seen his ass because he is always getting a little strange while he has a new woman pinned to the wall in the women's bathroom. Yes, she wants Diesel.
Diesel is an asshole and don't care what anyone thinks about him. He is always looking for a different woman every time the club has a party which is more often than not. Don't forget the bar they own is connected to the clubhouse so he is always looking for someone new and finds it most of the time. Never cared to go back for seconds with a woman. Never plans to have an old lady much less little rug rats. If he isn't working at his protection agency and not doing club business he is hooking up with someone new except when little Jewelee is getting herself in trouble and he is having to protect her from herself. Always causing trouble. They almost had a hook up but they came to their senses and put brakes on that. Only problem is if she keeps pushing him then he is going to have to do something about it.
Come along for the ride and see if she can lasso Diesel in or if he puts her in her place.

Jewel has known Diesel, the enforcer for the Dirty Angels MC her whole life. For most of that time she has wanted to him to see her, to want her for his own. But Diesel is a hit it and quit it guy, not wanting to be tied down. He sees a relationship as a prison and figures Jewel would want to lock him in. He doesn't go back for seconds, ever. Until one night with Jewel. Jewel knows that Diesel won't commit but can't help how she feels. She needs all of him, not just his body but his love. Will Diesel figure out that being with Jewel will free him from emptiness before its too late?
I have loved the Dirty Angels from the very beginning! Zak was not only first in the series, he is my favorite but Diesel has come in as a strong second. Jeanne St James has an amazing talent! Her characters are unique and are true to their personalities. They are so real and vivid that I know them like they were family. Jewel is a biker babe through and through and she is a perfect match for Diesel. Diesel is rough and tough and exactly who I would pick to be in charge of security for the club. This book is smoking hot with a dash of sweet. I cannot wait for book 5, Axel and Bella! 5 stars for Down and Dirty: Diesel! -
5 D & Jewel Stars
Diesel is the 4th book in the Dirty Angels series by Jeanne St. James. Diesel is a beast of a man. From the outside he looks like he could crush you with one look but inside he's a sweetheart.
Jewel has been a part of the DAMC since birth and they are blood to her, she knows she was born to have an ol' man. I did not expect to like her, in fact she annoyed me a little at the start but I couldn't help but warm to her.
Diesel doesn't want an ol' lady and wants Live Free, Die Free! A night together leads to a causal relationship between the two, but will he realize Jewel is what he wants before it is too late?
In the past month I've become addicted to this author and series. I'm ploughing through them all and loving every single book. This book was no different! These two where so hot together and I couldn't put the book down. As with all of these books so far the secondary characters are the bomb and I love hearing from previous couples and seeing new faces.
I highly recommend picking this up and reading this series, you won’t regret it. I'm diving right back into the next book.

Wasn't too sure at first because Diesel was just so mean, I mean jeez! I love the surly ones but he really went above and beyond.
Eventually he arced and changed and that's what we love right? Watching characters grow?
Jewelee was adorable and the prefect mix of strong and sweet. She had a good arc too. -
This book doesn't disappoint. It is best to read this book after the previous 3 in the series, as many references are made to events in previous books.
-
This is the first time reading something by this author by this author. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I liked reading about Diesel.
-
Two stars because my girl had no pride. She literally threw herself at this man whore and begged for scraps of attention. Like come on Jewels, act like your feelings matter a little bit. Instead she literally stripped down in the street for him but called the girls hanging around skanks? Just no. It was hypocritical and desperate and if I were Diesel I would have avoided her clingy ass too.

4 Stars! 🏍
Hi BookLovers,
*sigh* So In Love 😍
This panties dropping gorgeous alpha man is just arghhh everything! I freaking love this series and I just started to read two of it and another one coming.
Thanks to Jeanne St James for writing this amazing books/series it sure is worth reading.
If you love the type of hero that bossy, dominant, alpha, and grumpy? Yes this book is for you. This man, D is for you. Less words more action kinda man. And the heroin? The type that not giving up, strong independent woman who stood on her own feet’s yup that’s Jewelee.
The sex scene is not written too much and just enough for me and I really like it. It give you the best satisfaction of reading. I know there’s some book it give a lot and kinda a annoying but this is just nice.
I highly recommended this one! :)

Really didn’t care for descriptive sexcapades of the H at the start of the book especially when he was doing it after he was attracted to the h. When you’ve read Hs that can’t even get it up after meeting the h, heroes like diesel do come up short but other than this minor slack in the story, the rest was quite enjoyable. I was looking for a story where the h was chasing to the point of annoying but even the H never fully stopped it and neither did he humiliate her by sticking it to ow so this book delivered. Really liked the fact that his commitment phobia was just because of some macho bullshit rather than an ex. I’d take that over ex lover trauma any day. Good chemistry between the MCs. Good read

Beast!!!!
Fuckkkk did the mighty fall!!!
Re-read a couple times now...and I still love that Beast!!! My heart literally squeezed everytime he rejected Jewlee...she loved him since forever and watching him take other women was just so hard on her until she had had enough. Way to stand your ground girl!
"What you doin' to me"
"Nothing you don't want done."
Yeasssss -
Whats the book about?
Diesel is the Sergeant at Arms, and Enforcer for the Dirty Angels MC. His motto is “Live free, Die free”. He doesn’t want any nagging women to tie him down, he prefers quick hook ups with faceless women with no BS afterwards. Jewel has wanted Diesel for the longest time. She wants to be his old lady, on the back of his bike and in his bed. She refers to Diesel as “Beast”, as that’s what he’s like, in and out the bedroom. Despite his manwhore ways with women, usually in the MC’s bathroom, and his quick temper, Jewel wants him, and this strong feisty women will get what she wants. A no strings hook up, that leaves Diesel and Jewel wanting more. She matches him, head on, toe to toe in this erotic, hot as hell novel. Diesel refuses to let Jewel work her way onto the back of his bike, and into his caged heart. Until a rival MC takes what is his, and holds her hostage. D is the Enforcer and Sergeant at arms for a reason. Hes deadly, unforgiving and has the MC and his team of “Shadows” at his back. No one touches what’s his. No one takes what is his. Will he get to Jewel in time? or will he be too late, to save his women?
*Although this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series starting with Zak*
Characters?
Diesel is how I like all my men. Pure fucking alpha. He doesn’t want any women nagging at him, or his bike or in his life for more than a quick fuck. Watching Jewel go toe to toe with him is absolutely awesome! She doesn’t take shit from anyone, I absolutely love her! She’s sassy, sarcastic and will get what she wants. Some scenes honestly make me laugh as Jewel is so quick witted. D is legendary for his brutality, even among other MC’s they know exactly who he is and what he is capable of. Watching him slowly love Jewel and need her is awesome, and realistic. Honestly, these two as a pair are kick ass!! We get to see a bit more of D’s “Shadows” which is a team he works with, alongside the MC. The Shadows also have their own series so I am super excited to read them too. The chemistry from D and Jewel is sexy, hot and pure wicked!
Final Thoughts?
Buy me, buy me, buy me! I love this series, even if you aren’t a big series person, you can read this book as a standalone and you will follow the characters and story line easily. I started with Book 1, Zak, and have fallen head over heels in love with this MC Romance. I personally prefer reading the series, instead of standalone, so I can get to know the characters, their stories and their personalities a bit more! I love the amount of books, so its a nice sized series. The MC men are *insert flame emojis here*. I binged Zak and Jag in one day, I couldn’t put it down. I am working my way through the rest of the gorgeous MC men, and am super excited to review the series as a whole, but I honestly just HAD TO review Diesel, he demands his own review!

I think so far this has been my favorite of the series. Diesel is so alpha that he's a beast of a man. Since he's the enforcer of his MC club, it fits him well. He also runs a security and bodyguard service that is mostly on the up and up. He is also the perpetual bachelor. He doesnt want to be tied down to any woman and enjoys having any body he wants. And they line up to be with him. Hes known throughout the club to make his conquests in the ladies room of the club. There aren't many women who haven't walked in on him getting busy. And most of those women will tell you what a fine view it is as well.
Jewel was raised in the club. She knows what it is to be a old lady and she wants that for herself. But she only wants it with Diesel. She finds it ironic that most of her friends don't want to claimed but she does. Not because she'd loose her independence but she be respected in the club and she'd have the man that she wants. She just has to get through his thick skull that it's what he wants too.
The two of them together are off the charts hot. They have a similar drive that keeps them going all night and into the morning. They come to an agreement that it's just fun until it isn't and then it's done. Jewel agrees only with the hope that she'll change his mind. They dance around the subject until a situation that hasn't been dealt with totally from the last book, comes back to haunt them. Diesel has been tracking a rival MC club who did unspeakable things to two of their women. And they want Diesel off their tail.
The men of this club are raw and take no prisoners. They speak what's on their mind and make no excuses. They also attract women who have the same attitude and it drivre them crazy. But it makes for an excellent read. -
Each time I heard Diesel in the previous books, I was intrigued by his one word answers and his all around gruffness. Now my obsession is satisfied! There is something to be said about a man of few words, and he uses very few! Diesel is a man who likes women, but has no interest in settling down. Always drawn to Jewel, he does his best to watch over her without getting involved. Jewel has other plans though, she has her sights set on Diesel and becoming his ol' lady. Jeanne St James gives these two a journey full of passion, danger and intrigue. What I love is the spunky personality that Jewel has mixed with the alpha, grunting Diesel. I think they compliment each other so well with their personality differences and their bond is evident regardless of the conversations. They have unbridled passion and it's hot! Add in characters from the previous books, St James has created a community feel, like we are part of the MC. I love this series and can't wait for more!
The narration for this is incredible. Ava Lucas always brings her best to the table, and I can feel Jewel through this narration. She is spunky, yet you can feel her uncertainty when it comes to Diesel. I can feel her love, and her pain as she makes decisions about protecting her heart. When a narration does this, you know you have been given a special glimpse of the performer. Wen Ross, well, I cannot say enough good things about him. His performances are always wonderful, but as this alpha, man of few words, Wen pulls you in and sets you on fire. He has produced a feeling of protectiveness over Jewel that extends to the listener, feeling all his emotions(and yes, Diesel is tough, but he has feelings!). It's a great collaboration of voices. -
Ok, I’m pretty sure I say this with each book in the Dirty Angels MC series, this one is my favorite! I happened on Zac’s story and he pulled me in, Zac’s just amazing. I liked Zac’s story so much that I had to read Jag’s, and who would’ve believed it...I liked his story more. By this time I am so sucked in to this continuing saga that of course I have to read Hawk’s story and it was my all time favorite, but always in the corner of my mind this beast of a man is hanging out waiting to suck me in and he definitely has! I freakin love Diesel! I’ve about decided that these all out mansluts make the best loves for life when they find the right woman and Jewel is definitely the woman for D. She’s loved him forever and wants nothing more than to just be his forever. This story has extremely hot sexy scenes, intrigue, lots of humor and a totally hot big strong silent man...what else do you need?! Within this story we also get the continuing flirtation between Axel and Bella...this one’s going to be good too...and we get into Diesel’s In the Shadows Security guys...gonna be amazing! Love this series and loved this book...definitely the best! Read the book, but read the previous books first. I’m sure they could be read as standalones, but you wouldn’t get the full effect that you’d get if you start from the beginning, trust me these books are worth it! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
