Heat rises and sparks fly when a love-cynic author and a suspiciously handsome intimacy coordinator are thrown together to write new steamy sex scenes for a TV series based on her hit novel in this deliciously fun debut romance.
Tash was thrilled when the dramatic rights to her surprise-hit feminist novel were snapped up. But now a big-shot director has taken charge and he wants 'the dirty version' of her book.
Despite her best efforts to stall, the studio assigns Tash its golden-boy intimacy coordinator to help her add spice to the script. Tash resents Caleb from the first word of the first sentence they write together - but as the story continues, the romantic tension spills off the page.
Just when Tash feels it's all coming together, the whole plot falls apart. Can she find a narrative that saves her show and her own love story, or are both lost forever?
This debut really stood out to me. The concept is great: the author of a feminist literary novel is cornered into sexing it up for the Hollywood blockbuster adaptation, and paired with a handsome intimacy coordinator to make it happen. Bold, smart, with a heroine I loved and lots of interesting things to say about sex, art and entertainment -- Beth O'Leary
A brilliant concept packed full of fun * Stylist *
A steamy romcom about... female rage? You heard me! This is a super smart take on the genre that even non romance girlies will enjoy * Red Magazine (Best Books of June 2025) *
Savvy, sexy and sharp, The Dirty Version couples head-over-heels, multilayered romance with nuanced commentary on the media industry and contemporary feminism. Gable Kahn's elegant, witty writing captivated us on every page
Sexy, immersive and so, so smart - a truly layered read. Gable Kahn masterfully tackles the constant and varied misogyny women face in society head-on, while also portraying a real, beautifully flawed MC. I love this book! -- Neely Tubati Alexander, author of In A Not So Perfect World and Courtroom Drama
