Publisher's summary

A bombshell bookworm. A chronic Casanova. And a lesson in chemistry too scandalous for school.

When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she's determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother's gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?

Will takes risks for a living, but he's skeptical about this challenge of Hanna's…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed - and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can't forget. Now that Hanna's discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it's up to Will to prove he's the only man she'll ever need.

Ask any fan and they’ll tell you that it’s not always easy to find something that has the same kind of tension and payoff as the Fifty Shades trilogy. Here are some books and series that fans of Fifty Shades are sure to love.

Can it get any BETTER!!!

Wow! Amazing story- this is has to be the best one yet but then again I'm on to the next book- so excited to read about Chloe and Bennett's wedding!! I hope the next one is as good as the previous ones- of course I don't want to give away any spoilers but you will melt with every detailed scene between Will and Hannah, your heart will race and you will fall in love with yet another dreamy man- can't choose between Bennett- Max- Will- can't wait to see who's the next couple. This is a must read / listen 👍

Another Christina Lauren Hit!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend it - It keeps moving and you fall in love with the players - old and new.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hanna as Ziggy (No filter on this girl) and of course Will (under cover romantic).

Have you listened to any of Grace Grant and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all the Beautiful books so I familiar with both Ms. Grant and Mr. York vocal talents. I have a book crush on Sebastian York - I like his deep grainy voice on this series and another I am reading. I have listened to Grace Grant from the very first Beautiful book and she does all the characters perfectly - love them both.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Brutal and Honest - can make anyone laugh out loud.

Any additional comments?

I like that Ms. Lauren doesn't just hand us a book full of sex scenes and ask us to enjoy it. She gives us a good story and pepper it with HOT scenes that has that reader intrigued. I am looking forward to Beautiful Beginning.

I loved every minute of it.

I don’t know why but I love when characters are so well developed that you can sense what they are thinking before they even say it. I love the guys friendship and their ability to chide each other, it was so funny I laughed out loud. The story is precious and overall I could listen to this book on repeat without issue.

This is my all time favorite of the series!!

I've listened and read this dozens of times. It always gets me out of a rut. Player Will and Hanna have my heart and the narrators of this version beautifully bring my fave characters to life.

"Will" leave you breathless

What made the experience of listening to Beautiful Player the most enjoyable?

I'm crazy about Bennett, swoon for Max, but dang Will is it for me. He's honest, playful, sexy, crazy patient and so darn stupid you just feel for him. Listening to his descriptions via audible book made it just so much more ....and his Hannah is the perfect combo.

What about Grace Grant and Sebastian York ’s performance did you like?

Their voices added another layer to the story through their performance. Totally helped formed the characters.

If you could take any character from Beautiful Player out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Will...my goodness just to hear him talk & say something totally ridiculous.
