I don’t even know where to start. This book had a lot of heat. I thought the book was quite long. Did not expect it to end the way that it did. I liked the book mostly. The way Vaughn spoke to Xena sometimes really annoyed me. I get what the author was trying to Do but it seemed a bit much….to much in my opinion. Then the turn of events….wow! I feel like the book could’ve ended like 30 pages sooner. With that being said I cannot wait for the next book to see what happens. I liked most of the characters in the book for Most of the book until the end and saw how some people can really be. Personal feelings aside, the book was well written, there is ALOT of graphic scenes. Usually I dont care but id say out of like 400 pages, at least 350 of it was some sort of BDSM / sexual scenes.
Well, Vaughn’s Xena was one of the smuttiest books I have read in a while. If you like a raunchy, best friend’s brother trope, this one is for you. This story is about a college student named Xena who fantasizes about her roommate’s (and best friend’s) brother, Vaughn. Vaughn is a wealthy, handsome, fit man, but one who is also private and apparently hates women, besides his sister, Ronnie. Vaughn has not been seen with a woman for quite some time and he seems to be super private, Xena knows from the start that her fantasies will stay just that. But, on a weekend break, Xena and Ron go to stay at Ronnie’s mansion and her brother is making the trip too. Xena comes to find out that Vaughn has been pining for her for a very long time. This is the start of their raunchy adventures. Xena, while very happy that Vaughn also wants her, she is worried about Ronnie. Will she be mad at Xena for being with Vaughn? Will the sibling relationship, which is very strong, weaken by this development? These questions haunt Xena so the relationship starts as a secret and we all know that never ends well! Will they be able to all find a way to be happy? I enjoyed this book! I thought that the characters were loveable, but it has to be your cup of tea. Vaughn, well he is just all man, but he is the jealous and possessive, somewhat stalker type. What I love about him though is that the domination mainly revolves around the aspects of sex, in the real world he is always proud of Xena and how she handles business. He is also always showing her how he thought about her in many of the decisions that he made which was sweet. Xena is a quiet, secret sex craze woman, but one that knows what she wants. There are very vivid and explicit sex scenes and degradation – so if that isn’t for you don’t read. It is a story that progresses pretty fast, with feelings -one-day “strangers” and the next they are “in love”. I will say that one thing that really annoyed me, and it is probably just a “me” thing, was that the author said “gosh” a good amount. Now, this word normally doesn’t bother me, but when you are vividly stating what is happening, with all the juicy words that go with it, but then constantly say “gosh” it just throws off the vibe for me. Overall though, it was a pretty good read.
An erotic romance for those that love them. Vaughn has it bad for Xena (his little sister’s college friend). I can’t share anymore or I’ll give away secrets. You’ll have to read it for yourself. It’s a hot story and has a bit of everything in it. The story is good and the characters are well-written. For fans of the erotic, this may be a winner. It’s 1 of 2 books.
This book is absolutely kinky and not for everyone. With that being said, oh my lanta be still my beating heart! This book was very well done bringing healthy kink out to light and some of the other sides to kink. It was written very well and there was absolute depth to the characters that were simply refreshing. Vaughn being single most of his life has set a very high bar, that at times seems hard for any woman to reach. But in comes his little sister’s best friend Xena who blows all of his expectations out of the water by having some secrets to unveil herself. This book was a delight to read and I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

Rosegold – Review by Crystal Jimmo
First book by this author and holy hell did I love it! I can’t wait to read the next one! Vaughn is a true alpha male and he loves control! And xena loves it! She’s his sisters best friend! Which is a trope I absolutely love. The spice, steam…HOT. The descriptions and the way the author describes every detail is absolutely amazing. I felt so many feelings while reading this book and that’s what I love. If you can make me feel happy, sad, angry, on edge, turned on…that’s a great book in my opinion. The chemistry between Vaughn and Xena is amazing and I’m so glad I read this book! Huge page Turner for me.
Vaughn’s Xena is the first book in the Dirty Rockhard Billionaire series by M.I. Rosegold. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really had no idea about what to expect from one of her stories. But the blurb piqued my interest, so I snapped up a copy to explore. This is an erotic romance with a little sister’s best friend/college/taboo element, a bit of a kinky storyline (BDSM, humiliation, degradation, public play, edging, spanking, bondage, oral s@x, unprotected/raw sex scenes, spit etc), secrets, chemistry, sizzle, angst, and drama. The story held the promise of a captivating read and has all the ingredients that should have made it a 5-star read for me- but unfortunately, I just couldn’t connect with the characters, or their story. I also had trouble settling into the author’s writing style. There were times that I felt quite uncomfortable in the story, and that had nothing to do with the content, as I don’t have any triggers- but felt that mu discomfort was more to do with the way the story was written- it seemed quite choppy at times (for me). I also felt that the dialogue, at times, didn’t fit the characters/scene/or circumstances. And there was a lot of dialogue. And a LOT of information, that at times, seemed surplus to the actual story. Which was quite distracting. I really wanted to love this story so much, but just couldn’t find my groove with it. I can see by other reviews that I seem to be the only one who feels this way….. so don’t let my opinion put you off exploring the story for yourself and making up your own mind. I have decided to revisit this book again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way about it as I do now, or maybe I will find my groove next time and discover that I was just having an off reading day this time around. Stay tuned. Happy Reading…

Rosegold – Review by Angela Hayes
This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading. This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. I can’t wait for book two. I enjoyed reading this romance story. A story about breaking rules to get what you want. I enjoyed how the characters were able to pull me into the story with ease. I found them to be relatable and steamy. I enjoyed how they brought life to the story as well as hard to put down. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. There is great growth of not only the characters but the plot as well. They have great chemistry which just added to the story for me. I really enjoyed what the characters brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.
I was floored with the book! The chemistry between these two characters was amazingly written. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was so amazing! I cannot wait to read more books by her! I always tell my friends when I come across a super great book and this is one that I am going to tell them about!

Rosegold – Review by Carlie Del Gallo
This is the first book in the Dirty Rockhard Billionaire series. The author does an amazing job with this story. They descriptions and details that the author puts in really brings the story to live and paints pictures in the readers mind so strong if feels like your there. I always love an Alpha male and Vaughan is definately an Alpha male. His feelings and possessiveness over Xena can sometimes feel a bit much but there is no denying that Xena loves that side of him. She has fantasised about him for a long time but she is completely blown away when fantasy meets reality. The only downside and possible problem is that Xena is Vaughan’s sister’s best friend and that a line he promised not to cross. But can they deny themselves something that feels meant to be? This is a very hot steamy read. It will have you laughing, crying and feeling so many different emotions through the story it will feel like a rollercoaster ride.
4.5 stars Vaughn’s Xena is the first of two books and the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to delving in to more of her work. It is a little sister’s college best friend setting. There are a lot of feels in this story, from laughter to disappointed to frustrated to madness and even some in-between. Vaughn Wolf is our main man and his surname is totally fitting. He knows what he wants and usually gets it. He likes control and likes to be in charge. Xena has a secret that is buried down deep and belies her being a good girl. She knows what she likes, what she needs, what she craves. Now she knows just where she can get it. There is steam, sizzle, and it’s oh so kinky. It is enough to leave you hot under your collar. M.I. is a descriptive writer so it is so easy to conjure up imagines and imagine our MC’s and the journey that they are on. You are only limited by your own imagination. You need to settle in for a spicy time when you read this book. I am going to let you discover it all by yourself. I am waiting for book 2 of the series─ “Xena’s Vaughn” that is coming soon.
He is obsessive and territorial. Controlling and kinky. He is a stalker. He is Vaughn. And he loves only one woman—his little sister’s best friend—Xena.
Vaughn Wolf is a charming, confident, and sexy man, the owner of a chain of luxurious nightclubs. He has been single for a long time, waiting for his perfect girl. A girl who will be able to match him and his desires in every way possible. A perfect match from God to him.
And here comes Xena Meyer. A sharp, fierce, and gorgeous woman with her perfect, sweet, dangerous curves. She has always been a good girl, but she has a secret. A dirty secret embedded within her.
Then, when fate crosses her path with Vaughn Wolf for good, she knew right away that her time to spill all her secrets has come. There was no way out of it.
Also, (un)fortunately, Xena is Vaughn’s little sister’s college best friend. Someone he shouldn’t even think of initiating anything.
But rules are meant to be broken, right?
Especially when she is the girl you have been waiting for forever?
Author M.I. Rosegold is a full-time writer with a head full of spicy-romance stories to share with her wonderful Rosettas. One thing to know about her is she has an unhealthy obsession with books, coffee, and men in suits.
