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.

Featured Article: Steamy Listens as Irresistible as Fifty Shades of Grey


Fifty Shades of Grey has been a prominent title in erotica for nearly a decade. Considering that it's a wildly romantic story in which character development and sexual dynamics play equally strong roles, it’s quite a standout in its genre. 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.

Loved this One

Any additional comments?

The unexpected, naivity and openness of Hannah was refreshing. What an adorable couple. I found myself laughing from some of the dialogue. The love scenes were good and not over the top but sweet and sexy. More of these books would be great! The narrators are great together. He sounds like the hunks she writes about. I'd love to see a picture of what they look like, both Seabastian and Will. Grace does a good job and they both bring the characters to life. I highly recommend this one.

Beautiful Stranger - my favorite

What did you love best about Beautiful Player?

These two characters, one the "teacher" the other the "student" and how these two interacted, learned from one another and grew to find love they were not expecting.

What does Grace Grant and Sebastian York bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love when books are narrated by a male and female. The story seems to come alive and both Grace and Sebastian are in my top 20. I will sometimes try books if they are the narrators.
