Loved it! I think book one was my favorite. Generally always is because I love the getting to know the character phase of a book.

I loved this series. The first book was, hands down, my favorite.

I enjoyed the series, however I felt that the development of the characters outside of their relationships was lacking. The story lines were much more realistic than the Crossfire series and Fifty Shades.

I loved Beautiful Bastard and Beautiful Secret the most some of the smaller books like Beautiful Bitch were not nearly as good but all in all I love the full length novels of this series!

I am glad that someone else mentioned that. The novella was interesting, but didn't give enough information to really get involved with the characters.

I wasn't a big fan of BB at first but then LOVED Stranger and Player! Bizarrely the same thing happened with the Wild Seasons series: Sweet Filthy Boy is my least favorite, I can't count the number of times I've read Dirty Rowdy Things and I can't wait for Ollie's story!!!

I really enjoyed this series! It is a good light read. I read it between other series while waiting on other books to come out. My favorite is Beautiful Player. I loved Hanna and Will. Some of the outrageous stuff that would come out of Hanna's mouth had my cracking up. If you are looking for a light read were you don't want to get to involved into the characters, this is the perfect series!

Great, easy read! Love that each book in the series is focused on a different couple within the friend group. Of course, like all fun loving romance novel, there are some parts that seem a bit far fetched. I love that about them as it brings you out of reality and into this lovely fun fictional place. Additionally, this book provides some great comedic relief with some of the antics and things said by the crazy characters. So glad a friend recommended this series! Was very difficult to put down.

I love this series as well. I just wish that the characters names moving forward were that way in the first book. It was really hard to get past the "Twilight" names being used throughout it. I found myself substitutingredients the names when I reread the series.

Beautiful Bastard:
4 out of 4 stars
The book is about two grown adults who have problem expressing their feelings so they end up lashing out on each other, which leads to a lot of sexy times.

I found it pretty entertaining and it kept me interested until the very last word!
Although, I must say a word on the subject of panty ripping... I don't really think it's early as easy as all these books make it sound... and probably much more painful too!

Beautiful Stranger
2 out of 4 stars
This book was my least favorite out of the series. I certainly wasn't fond of it as much as I was of the Beautiful Bastard. One thing I did like was the lack of drama. But I suspect I will remember nothing about this book in a couple of months time. It was your typical playboy womanizer and a woman who has been cheated on by an ex and is afraid of commitment. And of course the friends with benefits gone wrong. It was just okay.

Beautiful Player
3 out of 4 stars
Oh my goodness, this book made me do it all...
Laughed - check
Rolled eyes - check
Cried - check

I loved the way Will and Hanna were falling in love, loved their sexting and conversations. Hanna just cracks me up, she is so open and her lack of filter is hilarious. By the end of the book she got a bit repetitive in her thoughts and too closed off and that's where I rolled my eyes at her a bit and wished she would just stop assuming stuff. I really wanted to slap her around with a rotten fish.

I sobbed at the end during Max's announcement of becoming a father and Will's realization about what life is about. And shoot me, I could totally relate.

Beautiful Secret
4 out of 4 stars
Poor Niall, he didn't know what hit him.
I liked Ruby, she dove right in, she made the first step, she basically put her out there for him to take.
I couldn't really totally connect with Niall's character. I understood that he was closed off and not good at sharing his feelings, I understood his back story of being in a loveless marriage for so long. But what I couldn't wrap my head around was him having a superhuman ability of keeping it in his pants while a hot woman lays on a bed and WANTS him so bad she has to get herself off while he watches. Is he some kind of a masochist?
I just found it really hard to believe any guy in this situation would do anything other than "assist" her and think later. I mean, the temptation... how did he do it??? "Ummm, thanks Ruby, that was great, now I'm just gonna go beat off in my own hotel room."
All joking aside though, I did rate this 4 stars and it's because the writing was good, my heart hurt for Ruby and I REALLY REALLY REAAAAALLLY hated that stupid British prick by the middle of the book. But I suppose that's kind of the point, isn't it?
The ending lacked drama and was surprisingly satisfactory.

I am currently reading this series. I am so in love with these characters. Ansel is totally awesome! I am currently on the second book in the series. So far, I enjoyed the first book the best, however the second one is great too. I will be so sad when the series is finished. I usually listen to it while driving. Such a wonderful series.

Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard, #1)

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.

Originally only available online as The Office by tby789—and garnering over 2 million reads on fanfiction sites—Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for re-release.
