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.

Fantastic listen!

My favorite of the series. Both narrators do a smashing job with the book. Highly recommend

Sexy Romance

Sexy romp of two rich exhibitionists in NYC. Quite enjoyable despite the over used rich and powerful characters. At least in this one the woman is equally talented as the man in business.

I cannot wait for the next one

All though I am not sure which character will be in the third one I think it might be Julia.

This one is every women's fantasy! can you actually have a man willing to do what ever you want? Max is that man! and Sara is a women we all are in the inside!

Red hot.

Love the way these ladies write. This series gets better with each reread. So much fun.

What's not to like???!!!

Christina Lauren is a wonderful author, able to guide the mind's eye as though one is watching a movie. Every emotion is tapped into; Humor, anxiety, hopeful, excitement, and oh, yes, not to forget, Desire! I was excited when I saw Beautiful Stranger after having listened to Beautiful Bastard (another one coming soon in June). These listens are ones that once began, can NOT be put down to come back to later so; choose a quiet, undisturbing time before beginning it.

"Holy Naked Photo Batman.~.that was HOT!"

Would you listen to Beautiful Stranger again? Why?

Yes, because I enjoy them telling the story together, why, they were good at it.

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

Well of course Beautiful Bastard. Also a hint of 50 was in noticeable.

Which character – as performed by Grace Grant and Jonathan R. Cole – was your favorite?

Jonathan R. Cole is outstanding. loved his performance. Also Grace does well with women voices but she has a hard time with men's.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Several. More so than BB. I didn't cry, but had to get up and away when he lost the photo's of her. I was feeling so bad for them. I knew she was going to do exactly what she did. That was predicable. And Bennett and Chole had a hard time in BB but now that they are together they just make me laugh out loud. Outstanding Book

Any additional comments?

This book is worth the money or credit. It's good. well thought out and HOT.. Max and Sara are made for one another, He will do any thing for her love and prove it her in any way he needs to. She had been hurt, But the ending, was to soft on her. She wronged him, She needed to let him explain a lot. He healed her in a lot of ways. Enjoyed the performance and story line. Every one played good parts. Way to Go Authors. Loved it.

Ffty shades of naughty

Any additional comments?

Here is where 50 shades gets a little more raunchy with sex in public venues. This was my first book discussing sexual entanglement in public places and what it feels to those interested and I admit I am intrigued. You learn something new every day. :)
The only thing not worthy of a 5 was the narrators. Though I liked both their voices, they did a terrible job with the opposit character. Grace could not speak with a good British accent and Jonathan could not drop his British accent for the female character. Overall I thought Jonathan's voice was great for the male character though.

Loved it!! I want more!

Again, just like in tje previous book, this did not disappoint at all. I loved the witt, the chemistry and the overall story very much. It is such an engaging narration and both Grace and Jonathan deliver and then some. Thumbs up!!

really fell in love with Max & Sarah s story. it is amazing how sexy an accent can be. Truly enjoyed the journey but also think it could have been more telling. maybe because I wanted more.
selfish I suppose.

Perfect!

I liked Beautiful Bastard ALOT, but LOVED Beautiful Stranger! The storyline was fun and I really enjoyed having the two narrators...and throwing in the British accent was a nice touch. It was also nice to get little updates on Chloe and Bennet.
