This is the final book in a trilogy and Diana is trying to rekindle her relationship with her husband through therapy while managing her sexy fantasies website which he is blithely ignorant of.

The advice from the therapist is to have no sex and begin dating again slowly so a lot of the book is taken up with deliberately unfulfilled arousal. At the same time, the website is achieving public notoriety or, at least, being featured in Vogue! Then, the old boyfriend Jasper pops up in every sense leading to a lively climax for the trilogy.

If you’re following the series, then this will be an enjoyable read but if you are expecting several increasingly high-pitched yesses in a row, you could be disappointed for much of the novel. It’s not really dirty at all!

You might still feel slightly sorry for Oliver who appears to have hardly misbehaved in the previous novels and is now asked to live the life of a monk for a big chunk of this one. He is certainly long-suffering!

Anyway, fans won’t bother about all this and, to be fair, this book does wrap up the trilogy nicely. It will make a good holiday read by the pool!

I have loved this series and wow, this book was the perfect ending.
Diana and husband Oliver are trying to give their marriage a second chance, by dating each other and taking it slow. Both are changed from their time apart and are no longer holding anything back from each other - apart from Dirty Diana - which she has still been unable to tell Oliver about, fearing rejection.
This story comes perfectly full circle, and is absolutely full of spicy scenes compared to the first two books. And Catalina; absolutely did not see that coming but thankful that it did!
The whole series feels empowering, and paints sex and fantasy in a light that's positive and normal.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for providing an ARC in return for my honest review.

Diana Says Yes is a bold, funny and empowering contemporary romance that brings a refreshing mix of passion, honesty and vulnerability. Diana Wood is trying to rebuild her marriage with Oliver after years of drifting apart. Their therapist gives them a surprising directive: absolutely no sex. Forced to reconnect in new ways, they rediscover the thrill of dating each other through roller blading, movie nights and stolen kisses. The result is a rekindled spark that feels both electric and transformative.

But Diana has a secret. The website she created for women to share their deepest fantasies is gaining attention, and its success has the potential to change her family’s life forever. Torn between the safety of her quiet existence in Dallas and the thrill of empowering other women, Diana must decide how much she is willing to risk in order to live authentically.

Jen Besser writes with warmth, wit and insight, blending humour with steamy intimacy and heartfelt emotion. Diana is a relatable and inspiring character, balancing her roles as wife, mother, businesswoman and woman in search of her own fulfilment. The chemistry between her and Oliver is undeniable, and their journey feels both uplifting and real.

This book is the perfect conclusion to a fantastic series that celebrates love, desire and empowerment. It is romantic, funny and thought provoking, with a message that lingers beyond the final page.

Whilst I found it to be a slow start, with a certain superficiality to it, it really got going with character development and believable relationships as well as some really steamy sex scenes. Diana became much more relatable as the story moved on and it was nice to see how her relationship with Oliver and Jasper panned out. Often in their genre there is very poor storyline and character development, but with this novel you really cared what happened to Diana and her business. Overall an inventive way to portray various sexual fantasies,

I really enjoyed this series, and this final book. Diana is dating Oliver, her husband after their separation, and things are looking good.
The Dirty Diana podcast business is expanding with Petra's marketing skills and the talented new employees, so there are lots of changes for Diana and her friends and team.
The book includes some of the podcast fantasies, and the sex scenes are really hot.
I would recommend that you read the whole series to get the full benefit.
