The scorching sequel to Beautiful Bastard from the New York Times bestselling authors of Love and Other Words and The Unhoneymooners.

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 and 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. Contemporary Romance Romance Contemporary Fiction Women's Fiction Romantic Comedy Comedy

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.

This is it! This is my favorite kind of listen. The hot steamy sex scenes. The male voice!!! His side, her side. "sigh" This is the kind of book I'd give 10 stars for review. I'd gladly give 2 credits for it. Have you realized yet that I love it and highly recommend you get it immediately! Please Christina Lauren give me another!

THANK YOU!!!!!!! My kind of book!

But then that's a very high standard to reach, the witty repartee of the first book seems to be missing here, but I will be buying the 3rd installment and hope for a return to the first books formula, not a bad buy, by any stretch of the imagination, just a let down from the first.

Not nearly as good as Beautiful Bastard

This installment was way better in my opinion then Beautiful Bastard. Love the dual narration and the British accent. They did use the same female narrator so Chloe and Sara have the same voice which is kind of annoying for me especially when you listen to the books back to back, I would say her saving grace is that she does a good British accent for the male part in this book, because her female voices don't seem to vary at all. This book isn't about angry sex but hot voyeur sex. Very Credit worthy!

who does love a man with an accent?

Listened to Beutiful Bastard and had to have this next installment. I was not disappointed. Great new characters, character development and interation with characters from Bastard.

The price is right with or without a credit. I could not stop listening until the story ended.

What did you love best about Beautiful Stranger?

I loved the overall story itself. The interaction between the characters including Chloe and Bennett were funny, heartwarming and engaging.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Max. He seems to try and be complex when in reality, he just someone who wants to be loved. I love that he has a wicked bad boy sexy side as well that he fully opens up to Sarah.

What about Grace Grant and Jonathan R. Cole ’s performance did you like?

The performances were amazing. I loved the fact that Jonathan had the accent as did Max which made the story even better.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the scene in Sarah's apartment where Max was taking pictures while in her bedroom. It was erotic, sexy and emotional.

Any additional comments?

I loved reading Beautiful Bastard. Now I am a fan for life of Christina Lauren. The way these ladies write is a nice change to the normal first person telling. I can not wait to read Beautiful Bitch and the others coming out.

Entertained to the End!
