That first scene was sexual assault, re-reading it after a few years made the book really problematic

Can I just say "DAMN! Mr. Ryan, can I be yours???" The sexual tension was totally off the charts from start to finish. This book kept me turning the pages. I loved the whole "love-hate" relationship between Chloe and Bennett. It made the story a lot more interesting and added all kinds of drama. I know this book was not for everybody, but I like my romance novels with some bite to them and this fit the bill. Definitely worth the read.
¡Este libro es un fuego!
Bennet Ryan, es un joven empresario de medios que está al frente del multimedios de su familia en Chicago. Chloe Mills es su joven asistente a quien todo el mundo, incluida su familia, adora y respeta. Bennet la detesta, no soporta ni su perfume, ni sus faldas, ni su forma de caminar moviendo las caderas, ya que no puede pensar en otra cosa en todo el día.
Chloe, es muy responsable y está ampliamente capacitada para realizar su trabajo, odia al Sr Ryan hijo, no soporta su presencia, aunque alguna vez ha soñado con él.
Una tarde, cuando todos se retiraron de la oficina todo vuela por los aires y se produce un ardiente encuentro en la mesa de la sala de juntas y contra una ventana....y todo cambiará para bien.
Este libro es el primero que leí de Christina Lauren, y me encantó. Es divertido y ardiente, ideal para leer en San Valentín.

2.5-3 Stars
This was almost a 2-starrer, but the last 30% or so really redeemed it for me. It’s chock full of sex scenes and predictable tropes (I mean, it is fan fiction, I believe), but it has elements unique and compelling enough to see it through. At least, it did for me.
I really liked the heroine—the hero was a bit one dimensional for me—and her voice and actions. The office setting was fun, and the dynamic between the leads was a little addicting, though repetitive.
I’d read a follow-up featuring these two, but probably not the rest of this series. I’m afraid it’ll be too trite. I do want to read book one in CL’s other contemporary romance series. Fingers crossed it’s good.

Beautiful Bastard is a beautiful read. I was completely engrossed in this novel. I stayed up until 3am reading it and was completely annoyed with my body for needing sleep! I enjoyed the characters equally, but I loved the fact that Chloe stood up for herself. All too often women are portrayed as victims to powerful men, but Chloe was anything but a victim. She was determined and strong, sexy and passionate, and very intelligent. This girl could hold her own with no problem.
