Series background & context
Talking Dirty is one of Jackie Ashenden's early contemporary romance series, and it has a bright, confident setup. These are urban, sexy books built around flirtation, workplace or public-life tension, and heroines who find themselves stepping beyond the version of themselves they thought they had to be.
Talking Dirty With the CEO sets the tone well. A smart heroine crosses paths with a rich, commanding hero, and the story leans into chemistry, confidence, and the thrill of watching someone discover new parts of their own desire. The later books, Talking Dirty With the Player and Talking Dirty With the Boss, keep that mix of banter, attraction, and emotionally inconvenient timing.
These books tend to be quicker and more openly playful than some of Ashenden's darker series, though the emotional stakes are still there. The men may be powerful, but the heroines are never passive spectators.
If you want a more contemporary-city entry point into Ashenden's backlist, Talking Dirty is a fun place to start.
