Editorial reviews

Editors Select, October 2016 - I was heartbroken to hear that my favorite romance series - Beautiful Bastard ("BB") by writing duo Christina Lauren - was coming to an end. Beautiful, the tenth and final book, features Jensen and Pippa, who, for better or worse, have both been shaped by breakups. After meeting on a plane, the two unexpectedly find themselves coupled off on a New England wine trip with some BB fan-favorite characters. Beautiful is the most relatable BB novel - it's easy to find yourself in Pippa's proclivity to embarrass herself and Jensen's work-related neuroses. Loyal fans are rewarded with sweet vignettes at the end of the novel from each couple in the series, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we haven't seen the last of them. Katie, Audible Editor

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Fabulous end to a series.

This is a fun series. Loved the book just like all the rest. I really enjoyed how how there was an epilogue for each couple in the series.

Beautiful ending!

Just finished relistening to this entire series and found this gem was not yet in my listening library. Grace Grant did a wonderful job jumping from an American accent to an English accent as the sole female narrator in this book.
I loved the epilogues of each series.

Narration was uneven

The story was good. It was great to wrap up everyone’s story. Sebastian York was fabulous, as usual, but Grace Grant made Jensen sound slow and robotic. Sad to see the series end. This was a great sexy series. I loved hanging out with these guys. #funescape #sexyseries.#tagsgiving #sweepstakes

It Is Time To End It

The primary story in this last book of the series was kind of sad and depressing. It started off fairly strong with the flight from London to Boston. This scene had echos of some of the more embarrassing vignettes in Beautiful Bastard. But Pippa and Jensen seemed to have built a relationship on nothing more than convenience and proximity. So when those two factors were removed, it didn't seem believable that they would really miss each other, enough to fly back across the ocean to try and build a more permanent relationship.

What made this book worth reading was the fact that it brought back all of the characters from earlier books and gave them all a great send-off. Especially Chloe and Bennet. In those two characters, Lauren created rivals for some of the best fictional couples of all time. Pretty sure they would be the parents from hell, but it would never be boring. I will miss them, but it is time for the series to end.

5 WELL DESERVED STARS!

I hate to see this series end, but this was great finale to one of my all time favorite series! Jensen's and Pippa's story was good, but I'll always love the trio of couples that are the mainstays of the series. I'd totally want to befriend these people and babysit their kids. Yet another winner for Christina Lauren. If you're new to the author, go get this entire series TODAY!

B E A U T I F U L ENDING!

How is this the last book?! I adore this series so much it's hard to even explain. I have experienced it on all three platforms... print, ebook, and audio. I must say though the audio has to be my favorite!

Jensen and Pippa are my favorite couple of the series, actually though it changes after every reread I do!

If you are looking for something fun with substance I highly recommend not only this book but the ENTIRE SERIES.
