Beautiful Beloved by Christina Lauren

Not as good as the previous novella. However, it also included more difficult topics related to having children and returning to normal life. Probably too much realism for me. Not enough escapism.

I admit that I love this series. It is dirty and hot and sexy and most of the time just wow.

However I'm no longer entrenched in the M/F world and I don't know if this influences my rating (I'm sure it does). Regardless I probably could have done without this little detour into Max and Sara's life post baby. But since I'm still pathological most of the time, I have to read a series completely and thoroughly especially since it segues into the next book [b:Beautiful Secret|22431039|Beautiful Secret (Beautiful Bastard, #4)|Christina Lauren|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1416624825l/22431039._SY75_.jpg|41852426].

In the end, this really didn't do much for me as they are foiled again and again and again….so much so that it became quite ridiculous how these two could never finish anything they got started.

Smexy enough, just not as good as the other parts in this series. However this does introduce Niall whose book I'll read probably soonish.

Such a sweet continuation of Max and Stella’s story that involves the significant change that comes with parenthood. A real depiction of the intimacy that comes with changing bodies, minds and schedules when you add a child to the mix. It’s messy, hard and sexy.

Quick listen, no real plot, just snippets of a few dates that the main characters from the previous book try to take while navigating new parenthood. Spicy like the previous book but with some humorous interactions with theirs friends babysitting.

Absolutely boring n useless in the series. They could have never added this part. This could be put into 3 pages n added to the next book which I hopes is better.
