Beautiful Stranger

By: Christina Lauren

Narrated by: Grace Grant, Jonathan R. Cole

Length: 8 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon's moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night's fun. But the manner - and speed - with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup into her Beautiful Stranger.

The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he's ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad-boy charm, it's not until Sara - and the wild photos she lets him take of her - that he starts wondering if there's someone for him outside of the bedroom.

Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

decent, but not erotica

Any additional comments?

I bought this because I really liked the first book in the series, beautiful bastard. I liked BB for all the sexy scenes, and decent story. this book is more story and less sexy scenes. don't get me wrong, there are quite a few sex scenes, but they weren't quite as frequent or as explicit as the first. There's more romance back story here. The story is decent, but I'm more an erotica fan than a romance reader.

also, the same person narrarates this as does the first. This was a little odd at first because Chloe and Bennett are characters in this book, so the voice that I knew as being Chloe's now belongs to someone else and refers to Chloe in the third person. That was my only complaint regarding the choice of narrator, which I got over quickly.

overall, good book with a fair amount of sex, but I'm not sure I'll get the third unless it's classified erotica.

well written

This book was a pleasure to listen to. I'm not sure if it should be considered part 2 to beautiful bastard because it definitely stands alone. The characters had depth and this book has good humor, not the lol kind, but the kind that gives you a genuine chuckle or smile. The scenes are definitely hot and ladies it has the awww factor. But the key to a good audiobook is the narrator. This is the first book I've listened to with 2 and they did an excellent job. The brittish accents were well done, but I think Mr. Cole had trouble turning it off... Also, these narrators didn't sound like they were trying too hard. I can't stand a book when the narrator tries to sound too sexy or sauve- irks the hell outta me! Please listen to this book, it's worth it.

Great!!

woow! its a great book in a great series!! highly reccomended! Loved it very much!.

A brilliant love story!!!

The performers were excellent! Could not stop listening, and hated to be interrupted! What's next.

Jaw dropping

This book is awesome!! It definitely keeps your attention throughout the entire book. I recommend that you read this book, but first start with the first book in this series. You definitely will not be disappointed.

WOW!!!

Wow, was my first thought at the end of the book. My favorite in this series YET. Very hot and also heartwarming...perfect.

Bold Beautiful Brit Bares Body and Soul

If you could sum up Beautiful Stranger in three words, what would they be?

Exhibitionism Bares Love

What did you like best about this story?

Max Stella was so doggone lovable. Scandalous and witty a great friend and the consummate lover.

Have you listened to any of Grace Grant and Jonathan R. Cole ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This story line was better than Beautiful Bastard, which got a little one dimensional.

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

A Beautiful Stranger is waiting for you to show your true self.

Nothing better than that gorgeous Brit accent!!

The story was awesome, as well!!

I love the series thus far. However, stranger is the best so far because of Max!!

ENJOYABLE FOR BEGINNING TO END!

I WISH I COULD HUG THE AUTHORS WHO WROTE THIS BOOK. IT IS BETTER THAN THE 1ST ONE! EASY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THESE CHARACTERS AND THE STORY. I NEVER WANTED IT TO END. THE BEST NARRATORS FOR THIS BOOK AND LOVED THE BRITISH ACCENT! MADE MY DAY!

very good

lover it! !!
it kept me interested the whole read! can't wait to read the next book.
