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.

Love this author's style!

What I love about Christina Lauren's style is that she intersperses a real story line with sex.
The sex is very hot and the voice is wonderful, as provided by Grace Grant. I like the characters and how they are developed. I also like that Ms. Lauren has taken the three members of the threesome and developed a story surrounding each one of them and the ladies that they develop relationships with. Hannah is at times, almost a bit annoying in her naiveté. But I am sure that this is done to enhance the sex scenes between her and Will.
I really enjoyed this trilogy and will listen to all the books again for sure.

Great read!

This is a great book! The series is great. Recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great read.love it so

My favorite

This was my favorite book so far. I literally laughed out loud during some parts of this book. I definitely recommend this series.

Overall pretty good.

The female character, Hannah, is a little too naive and therefore a little annoying. I loved everything about Will. The plot was done well and there was plenty of steam within the relationship.

I didn’t love the male narrator’s voice -sounds like he should be narrating a State Farm commercial, LOL.

Started my obsession with Christina Lauren!

Beautiful Player is the book that started my Christina Lauren obsession. Although it's book 3 in the series, it absolutely stands alone and I had no trouble following the story. Hanna and Will were absolutely magic together and I adored seeing their friendship develop into more. Narrators Grace Grant and Sebastian York added so much to the story and did a fantastic job- this is an audiobook I have listened to more than a few times. It's one of my favorites!

Good Audio and Good Story

Love this audio book. Good narration and definitely kept me entertained. Looking forward to listening to some in the series.

That voice!

Every Beautiful book just gets better and better! Hanna’s naïveté is annoying at times. I wanted to shout at both of them at certain points. BUT the star of this audiobook is the voice of Will! I could listen to him read the labels on cans. Great performances.

Candy for my ears and Soul

Any additional comments?

candy :) This series is pure delectable candy, sweet and sugarcoated with just the right amount of sexy steam - Hanna aka "Ziggy" is in a slump, it seems like all she does is work and spend all her free time in the lab. Her family is concerned since Hanna has no social life. Hanna's brother Jenson encourages Hanna to reach out to Will. Will was Jenson's college best-friend and spent tons of time with Hanna's family when she was growing up. Hanna was the younger sister and spent her summer fantasizing about the older Will, but Hanna was not even on Will's radar. Will is a player....plain and simple. He's cocky, sexy, confidant and even has hook-ups(woman) he has scheduled days of the week with. Fans of the series will love this installment and adore Will. If you haven't read the series yet, what are you waiting for..... Dive on in and Enjoy !!

THESE BOOK ARE SO WELL DONE, I LOVE THEM ALL..

Would you listen to Beautiful Player again? Why?

Oh I already have, and the reason, cause I don't want to miss one word of it. It's that good.

What other book might you compare Beautiful Player to and why?

It don't, it's the Will and Hannah story, and well done I might add.

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

yes, I have, and I think these two should do a lot of these book type of books together, they are great and who ever is writing books like these should beg these two to read them, They do amazing things to books of hot romance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, and did so.. and then got up today and re-listened to it. It's that wonderful

Any additional comments?

This book and it's hard to say, may be my favorite.. and that is saying a lot. it's hard because I like the Max and Sara story as well.. but let me say, I waited for this to arrive knowing that once it got here, nothing was going to get done ANYWHERE as long as I got this book. This book had all of my attention and it was well worth it.. Amazing job to the Authors can't wait until you bring more of these two into our lives. Thank you Christina and Lauren. You are fabulous. This book was a home run..Take note: anyone that is writing, these ladies know how to write a Hot, funny, intelligent romance novel. It has it all. These are what we look for in books, Or I do. Outstanding job meeting Will and Hannah. I loved them.. First book I have listen to on Audible in a while, cause you just can't find this any more.. I love it. There are not enough stars to let people know it's that good and a wonderful book. And not enough books like these out there.. Not this good.. Only a handful of writers can write like this.. And I own all those books..

Another Beautiful Winner

Will and Hannah have a sweet story. I love Hannah's nick-name Ziggy and it was fun watching Will transform from a player into someone that she could trust. As someone that is also a runner I enjoyed their early morning workout meetings. The text messaging conversations had me laughing out loud. I had so much fun listening to this book and really enjoyed the narration. Don't hesitate on using a credit for this book, it is well worth it!!
