Perfect

A FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!! Niall Stella is my second favorite in this awesome series. Bennett Ryan will always be my #1. However Ruby and Niall were perfect. The only thing that really sucks about Christina Lauren's books is that sad feeling you get when the one you're reading is over and you realize the next book doesn't come out until November.

Fantastic Love Story!!! Must READ!!!!

I love this story between Ruby and Niles. It has been a while since I have purchased such a great Love Story as this book! The narrators are Great!! I love love love the Aussie accent, it really adds a special touch to the story. The story between the two lovers really pulled me in I ended up listening to it all night long...I had to see what happened to them and I couldn't put the book down until I did.

I recommend this book to those who really want to listen to a great love story! It was great that there wasn't an outside girl that was brought into the story to damage the relationship like it normally is in other Love Stories. Plus I love all the new things Ruby was able to teach Niles.

The way the love scene was written in the end when they realized what it really felt like to make LOVE to each other was out of this world!!! It makes you wish for something like this to happen to you in the real world. It's hard to give a great review without giving up the good parts of the story so I will stop while I can.

I love all the Books Christina Lauren has written. There has not been a bad book by her yet that I have purchased and I have purchased most of the beautiful series and will continue to buy them all as long as she puts them out there. Thank-you Christina for writing such inspirational love stories that keeps me coming back for more.

Niall stole my heart!

These ladies did it again and I love them for it! I love the entire Beautiful series and this one is one of my favorites. Wait, they all are! What a great addition to the series!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

just like the series name, this book was BEAUTIFUL. Christina Lauren is such a great author and all of her books are just fantastic. The story as all of her others take to that place where you wish you were there and actually be that character. beautiful story.

Sweet and Sexy

Love all these series! I loved that this is another English Man because I got to hear his lovely voice again.
You will enjoy this one as much as the others.

Great book!

Great book, enjoyed the narrators and the story. Looking forward ro more great stories by Christina Lauren.

Another beautiful story

I devoured this book I loved it just as much as I love the original - beautiful bastard I love the banter and the sarcasm I love the witty dialogue and more than once I laughed out loud the narrators male and female were perfect for the story and I just love how he called her Dove and love OMG it was so good you need to buy this now!!!

Love, Love, Love

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES!!! I love this series. I was not as impressed with Beautiful Beloved - it felt rushed and I was worried Christina Lauren might have exhausted this series, but I LOVED this installment. I also loved how it tied in the characters from the authors' other series, specifically Lola and London (even though it was only a cameo).

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

I enjoyed the progression of Niall. He was such a "lovely" character.

Have you listened to any of Charlotte Penfield and Jonathan Cole ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Jonathan Cole's yes. This was equally as engaging.

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

I clapped at the end (for real).

Loved it!

I am in LOVE with the Stella boys and this installment is NO exception. I can't get enough of this series and have listened to each one multiple times. So worth the credit.

LOVE the British Accent!

Where does Beautiful Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As an audio book, it’s a very good audio book. I thought the two main narrators were the perfect match. I thought the length of book was perfect as well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the main characters. I found Ruby very empowering and cute. I loved that she had a crush on Niall and she didn’t know how to act around him. I liked Niall even though he’s not “strong”, but he’s a good guy with good intentions. He’s not the typical Hero.

Which character – as performed by Charlotte Penfield and Jonathan Cole – was your favorite?

This is my first performance by Charlotte and I loved her. I thought she played Ruby perfectly. I loved her character transitions and she even spoke in a British accent when she was speaking as Niall. I felt her emotions as I was listening to her.

This was my first Jonathan narration and I found his voice not as deep as I am use to when I listen to a male narrator. I did love his British accent and it was very easy to listen to. I know some people find accents hard to listen to, but that wasn’t the case for me. He also did the voice transitions very well too.

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

A sexy British tale…

Any additional comments?

Full Book Review:

4 British Stars

I got the audio version because of the British accent! Some people find it hard to listen to an accent, but I loved it. If you haven’t listened to an accent, you need to try it!

Beautiful Secret is a standalone and is part of the Beautiful B series. I didn’t read the spin-off, but I did read the first three books in this series. I’ve had my hits and misses with this one. I always give the series a shot, even if one of the books doesn’t hit the mark with me.
It’s Ruby and Niall’s story.

I love the way Beautiful Secret started. Ruby has a mega crush on Niall. Niall works in the UK office and Ruby is currently working there. I love listening to Ruby’s inner monologue, it was too cute! She crushes on Niall super hard and she acts like a cute little fool in front of him.

Niall is recently divorced and he’s not the typical alpha Hero. If you ever had a thing for sweet guys, then Niall is your man. He’s not very sexual and he doesn’t go around playing on girls. So when Ruby starts to show interest in him, it kind of throws Niall off.

I found Niall very different. I’m use to my alpha males, so when I met someone who isn’t very experienced and so like I said, it threw me off. In his relationship with his ex-wife, he only has sex once a week and it doesn’t change up much. Ruby kind of introduces him to the slightly kinkier side of sex. It’s nothing super kinky, so don’t think BDSM or bondage, just good old fashion BJ’s and butt slapping.

Beautiful Secret is super tame and it’s very different from the previous books. I found the relationship between Niall and Ruby very mature and realistic. I kind of like how older they are because well, I’m older and I like how relatable it was. I wouldn’t say they keep the relationship a mega secret, but it’s very low key. There’s plenty of steam to keep you entertain.

Overall, if you are a fan of the series, you will not be disappointed.
