Publisher's summary

An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.

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 two million reads on fan-fiction sites - Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for rerelease.

Critic reviews

"The perfect blend of sex, sass and heart, Beautiful Bastard is a steamy battle of wills that will get your blood pumping!" (S.C. Stephens, best-selling author of Thoughtless)

sweetness

uggg WHY do these books go soooo sloooww till the last 20 minutes and then get decent only to end???!!!! I want to know what happens & feel like maybe the 2nd book will hopefully be better. But I'm not sure I care enough to start it immediately :/ ALSO ....this audio could've had a MALE read the male parts

Challenged by the narrator...but LOVE THE BOOK!

Really Love this book. However, have a difficult time from male to female characters with this narrator?

LOVE this series! And I love Christina Lauren.

I have listened to this series numerous times. The characters are fabulous. Love everything Christina Lauren writes.

loved it!

the best books ever can't wait to keep reading! Wish they were at the book store I'd buy them all

Loved it! Angsy romance!

I love it! Too short though, but a cute read. I loved the heated relationship those two had.

A VERY pleasant surprise!

I have never been into erotic fiction- I had only ever read 50 Shades of Grey, and I only made it about 1/3 of the way in before throwing it away. The idea of erotica always just seemed kind of silly. But then something possessed me (I still don't know what) and I bought this book on a whim. And holy stinking moly, soooo glad I did!!! Such a fun read, and I was quite surprised at the amount of actual character development. Can't wait to read/listen to the rest of the series!!

Good story....

What did you love best about Beautiful Bastard?

I loved that even though he was as close to perfect as possible he didn't let it cloud his thoughts of him falling for Ms. Mills. Also that he put himself on a pedestal because he was a man of substance not because he was HOT!!! This book is a good listen if you like sex it has sex, sex, and more sex.

What three words best describe Grace Grant’s voice?

The narrator was a good narrator but I don't think she was good for this book. I think her style is good for documentaries or something where you're just reading words because I think she was lacking emotion for some things that was supposed to be emotional.

Not just great sex!

This story keeps you engrossed with unexpected twists and turns! I loved all of it!

great!!!!!

loved it all! wish there was a movie! the characters are lovable, the sex the amazing!
