Oh my word........
Or more like Bennett ripping them off.
I'm sorry but I really enjoyed this one. He was an asshole, prick, hot, sexy son-of-a-bitch and I couldn't get enough. Yeah so Chloe may have seemed like a huge idiot, but really, who could blame her?!?!
Like most romance novels we have the hot rich man and the innocent sweet girl. Difference? Chloe was not an innocent, sweet girl and hot damn she held her own. Smart, witty and totally hilarious it was a nice change for a lead female. It was awesome having her take charge sometimes instead of it always being the guy.
This is a book that really has to peak your interest just from reading the synopsis. Otherwise, it probably isn't a book for you and it may frustrate you like no other, leaving no other choice but to either DNF it or giving it a bad rating. Just do yourself a favour and don't bother. If, you can give things a chance and don't mind a big prick then I really think you'll love this.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. (Read it in one day, which is rare for me)
So buckle up ladies (or gents) cause you're in for one sexy ride ;) ;)

Still 5 Stars!
This has not diminished one bit since I read this 10 years ago.
Embodying the epitome of enemies to lovers vitriolic banter, explosive chemistry, and while still wondrously filled to the brim with delicious hate sex, this totally delivers.
Minus that rampant romance novel 3rd act breakup, I love that Chloe is strong and assertive who rises to every challenge Bennett throws at her, and Bennett’s resistance but imminent fall is sexy AF.
Yep. Still fabulously titillating, still good stuff! Unf.

I really enjoyed this. The smut in here is hot! I loved the dynamic between these characters and how the genuinely didn't like each other at first.
However, the audiobook was a huge let down. If there are two perspectives please have two narrators. Especially if the selected narrator does not distinguish between the different characters using their voice. It drew me out of the story a number of times.

This boss employee, enemies with benefits, super spicy romance is book 1 in the Beautiful Bastard series. It's lots of smut, very little plot, but still entertaining.

It was quick and dirty sex on paper. To those who want literary genius, deeply moving, Pulitzer prize reading - please do not proceed with this book. The dialog made me laugh, the sex gave me ideas and the end was pretty predictable. It was like mind candy, not too serious, not too long and fun (if you’re into that sort of thing). Bennett made me laugh and I enjoyed that we got read his point of view. He was sexy and a total bastard. Chloe was sassy and I didn't constantly roll my eyes while reading her point of view. I liked her attitude for the most part, but wish she put on her “big girl panties” at the end. I didn't love how it all worked out, but I didn't hate it either. I will read another book by Christina Lauren because I have a wicked sweet tooth.
