Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren

feyley's review against another edition

5.0

I really did not want this book to end, I would have been happier with another few chapters to at least see how things work out. But overall, I loved this book. A great start for my first book by her.

This is a book that started out quickly plot-wise and then the Act 3 conflict kind of stalled the pacing. I was less interested in the resolution because of that. Very quick read, I tore through this with my Spotify Premium subscription for The Amazing Readathon.

3.5 Overly Sexed Stars

I did enjoy Beautiful Bastard, but I have to admit, there was too much sex. And for me to say that... It just seemed that every page had yet ANOTHER sex scene. Then the characters would fight and hate each other...then more sex... then more fighting. It was a sexual vicious circle. About 75% of the way through, I realized I was only finishing the book just to see if things changed with story.

I enjoyed the book, knowing nothing other than a friend likes it, I went in expecting nothing. Quick read, would read the next one.

It was readable, but that's all it was. 
I did not enjoy this book.

The "witty banter" was neither witty nor banter, it was two grown people snapping and sniping at each other like children and I was supposed to find it attractive and sexy... uh, no.

I also did not see a real connection between the characters at all. Their relationship was all lust and unfortunately that just doesn't do it for me.
