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.

As BEAUTIFUL as the others

I've been a huge fan of Christina Lauren since stumbling upon Beautiful Bastard a few months ago. Both of their current series are amazing. I've read so many erotica/romance novels but their's are my favorite. The women are smart and sassy. The men are any woman's fantasy.

Beautiful Secret continues the series and includes the cameos from our other favs. Sometimes it's odd to listen to audio books but the narrators are STELLAR! The books come to life.

Bravo to Christina Lauren for continuing to awe readers and capture my attention. I appreciate so much how they keep up with their readers, offer extra blogs and readings, and truly show their appreciation for our adoration! Thanks ladies! Cannot wait for the next!

WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!!

of course the writing blew me away as always!! The performances from Charlotte and Jonathan were beyond my expectations! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Love everyone of the books in this series

I love every single one of these books in this series it just makes it so I can't wait till the next one comes out

Good, but could have been better

I love Christina Lauren 's books! They are one of my favorite authors!
The book I felt was lacking it's own flavor of juice.
Looking back to Beautiful Bastard and the rest, it didn't really have that same boom the others have!
But this was still a good read. :)

Loved it!!

I love love love Christina Lauren xxx can't wait for the next instalment
Always a brilliant easy read xx thank you

A must read

Great book...love the series

would like more books

feel like I know all of them

Great read

Fun and exciting read. Author has funny sense of humor while still creating an erotic story

It's ok but...

I love the beautiful series but this book just didn't really do it for me. Ruby and Niall reminded me of Hannah and Will (which I love). I liked the book but I didn't fall in love like I have In previous books. I still love Christina Lauren and will patiently wait for Lola and Oliver

Refreshing

I really enjoyed this story. Niles is so different from the Alfa males popular today. Ruby is so amazingly wise beyond her years. I definitely recommend listening to this beautiful refreshing love story!
