An ambitious intern.
A perfectionist executive.
And a whole lot of name calling.
Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He's exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.
Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family's massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who'd been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he's never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe's so tempting he's willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.
As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they're willing to lose in order to win each other.
From Goodreads:
Picking up where Beautiful Bastard left off, Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan continue their steamy, combative relationship.
Just when Chloe's career starts to take off, Bennett wishes it would all slow down long enough to spend a wild night alone with his girlfriend. But after he refuses to take no for an answer, Chloe and Bennett find themselves with two plane tickets, one French Villa, and a surprising conversation that, predictably, leaves them wrestling under the covers.
From Goodreads:
A charming British Playboy. A girl determined to finally live. And a secret liaison revealed in all too vivid color. Book two in the NYT Bestselling series.
Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon's moved to New York City and is looking for excitement without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night's fun. But the manner--and speed--with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger.
The whole city knows Max Stella loves women, not that he's ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it's not until Sara--and the wild photos she lets him take of her--that he starts wondering if there's someone for him outside of the bedroom.
Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.
My first review of Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Bitch, Beautiful Stranger
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading these books again! Christina Lauren has very much blown up as a writing duo, but I don't see much talk of their first few books, and I'd only read the one the one time, and I wanted to spend this time with these characters again!

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading these books again! Christina Lauren has very much blown up as a writing duo, but I don't see much talk of their first few books, and I'd only read the one the one time, and I wanted to spend this time with these characters again!
Chloe and Bennett do not get along together. They're too similar, and they clash too much, but he's the boss, and she's the assistant for now. And then things really heat up, and I really enjoyed their encounters as things start to progress!
I thought that the guy she was set up with was going to play a bigger roll in their relationship conflict, but I guess I remembered wrong. I also thought in Beautiful Bitch that the vacation to France was a bigger part, and that her delayed flight took up more time, but I'm glad how it all worked out!
Loved reading Max and Sara's story, because I really enjoy them together, and their kinks. I was so nervous about the photo taking, because I knew that it was going to cause drama, but yeah, I just really enjoy their story!
Loved reading these stories, and I can't wait to continue my reread of this series!
