Favorite one in the series ...so said the series is over.
3,5 sterren. Een fijne New Adult met geweldige personages. Miste soms wel een bepaalde spanningsboog. Nu is het verhaal redelijk voorspelbaar te noemen.

The ending had me in tears. Not ready to say goodbye to the gang.
Such a good read. I love how free and confident Pippa is, and the romance between her and Jensen is so steamy and hot. Also, can I live in that cabin in Vermont they stayed in?? Sounded so comfy and warm!
A beautiful close to a beautiful series. I definitely plan on having this be one of my go to series when I feel like crap. All the emotional moments were spot on.
A beautiful culmination to the Beautiful Bastard Series.
This book is the story of Pippa and Jensen as they embark on a vacation with Hanna and Will, and Ruby and Niall. These couples already well know to readers of this series.
It soon becomes obvious to Pippa and Jensen that the vacation was a set up to get them together, and they throw caution to the wind and have what is intended to be a holiday fling.
We also hear more about the lives of our favourites Bennett and Chloe, and Max and Sarah.
My one disappointment was we didnt hear more from Niall and Ruby's point of view, because they were my favourite couple of the series and each couple got an epilogue to wrap up their story except them. This is my personal preference and does not take anything away from this book.

Well, for the final book in the Beautiful series, I thought this was a nice send off. I admit that Beautiful Bastard stands out as a huge highlight in my m/f reading history, and I’ve immensely enjoyed reading about this group of friends and their smexy journeys to love and happiness.
So you’ve got Jensen. He’s a lot staid. He’s actually never really gotten over his longtime girlfriend of 9 years leaving him after 4 months of marriage. Instead of dealing with his feelings and moving on, he’s thrown himself into work and pretty much nothing else for the last 6 years. So when his awesome sister Hannah, convinces him to go on a 2 week vacation with her husband (aka as Jensen’s best friend Will) and Niall & Ruby, he reluctantly accepts. What he didn’t anticipate was another 5th wheel in the form of Pippa, a woman he had an extremely awkward plane ride with the day before.
Pippa, using her breakup with a cheating boyfriend as a grand excuse to spend some time in the States, isn’t really all that heartbroken, but she’s not going to pass on an opportunity to imbibe in many the wine and beer tasting this road trip has to offer. She’s impulsive and funny, she doesn’t take herself too seriously, and her joie de vivre is refreshing. She’s actually the complete opposite of Jensen and the perfect foil for him.
What saved this for me was the literal laugh out loud moments, stemming from drunken shenanigans, to a fake marriage trope, and things like an absurd log splitting competition (you’d have to be be there to understand). Sadly and surprisingly, I would say that this was the least smexiest CLo I have ever read. However, it doesn’t veer too far from their tried and true recipe. Having the entire cast involved, plus a great epilogue, mostly made up for its absence, still leaving the overall lasting impression as one of my favorite m/f series.
