Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

One beautiful bastard of a groom. The most beautiful bitch of a bride. A panty-ripping office hook-up turned true love everlasting.

Wedding bells can't chime soon enough for Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan. Chloe, exasperated and stressed by all the last-minute to-dos, is on the verge of saying "I do" to eloping. For his part, Bennett's so worried about being distracted by Chloe's body that he makes a no-sex-until-the-wedding-night rule that only seems to be making things worse by continually backfiring on him. As their crazy families descend for the big day - only a few of them actually trying to be helpful - the fiery lovers are about to test whether the couple that argues together can keep it together long enough to exchange rings, and not just heated words.

Love, love, love...............

I'm so in love with this series and especially these two characters! Their interaction with each other and friends is hysterical..............!!! Always well worth the credits!!!

Loved Loved Loved this!

Would you listen to Beautiful Beginning again? Why?

Yes, I love the story. I feel like the main characters are my friends.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beautiful Beginning?

The wedding rehearsal fight aftermath had me laughing out loud... really LOUD!

Holy Sex!

wow, talk about intense. loved every minute of this one, can't wait for the next book.

A must read

I typically don’t like these kind of stories. A full epilogue for a couple who had an HEA in their own book. But this story is utterly perfect and a must read if you are a fan of the series. This book is so perfect for Chloe and Bennett. I may have liked it more than the original story!

Beautiful Ending To A Fantastic Series

I love Chloe and Bennett, I've loved them from the start, and this final book culminating in their wedding did not disappoint. The Beautiful series has truly been one of my favorite series of the last year--great storylines, characters and hotter than hot sex scenes. In this story as per usual the days leading up to their wedding were full of steamy tension between those two and other antics from their respective families and best of all, my other favorite characters--Max and Will, whom I delight in every time they have a moment in the story. Christina Lauren is a writing duo worthy of every accolade they receive and I can't wait for more from them. Go get this book, you will love it.

Amazing

Would you be willing to try another book from Christina Lauren? Why or why not?

Absolutely, these two women are fantastic! I cannot wait for Audible to get Sweet, Filthy Boy....

Their only other work is Young Adult I do not care about reading anything in that genre.

Which character – as performed by Grace Grant and Sebastian York – was your favorite?

I LOVE Grace Grant and she has such a broad range-very talented. Any of her character portrayals are pure perfection. Beautiful B*stard narration was fabulous because of it.

Sebastion York is fine and I enjoy his voice - however, I do not care for the dual narration.

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

It was and I did.

Any additional comments?

Cheeky humor, a tiny bit of angst and a lot of sex and profanity.

Wow!

The stories just keep getting better and better! Hot, passionate and gripping with amazing sexual scenes combined with an inspired love story has me coming back for more each time.

Great Read

Beautiful Beginning (Beautiful Bastard #3.5) was a great read by Christina Lauren. Bennett and Chloe never thought they would end up married after not being able to stand each other. Chloe is an exasperated bride, that just wants to elope. Bennett is a determined groom that is focusing on getting to the wedding night. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
