(2.5⭐) I love Christina Lauren's writing but the vibes here just weren't for me. The smut to plot ratio was pretty extreme - I think almost every chapter was mostly just a smut scene - and I get the big ick from the "big corporate boss X intern" power dynamic. I don't believe this couple actually likes each other or would last once the lust wore off.
''Capullo buenorro'' Esta es la forma en la que había llamado a mi sexy jefe durante nueve meses, él era el hombre perfecto que toda mujer desea pero es un completo idiota dictador. Pero lo que Bella no sabía era ese odio que Edward sentia hacia ella era una completa tensión sexual... ¿que pasa cuando una relación jefe-empleada esta tan cargada de ella?.
En mi opinión esta es una mezcla de Twilight y 50 Shades, pero de una manera un tanto diferente. Había veces que no soportaba el esdrtupido comportamiento de Bella y quería partirle la cara... pero como siempre no pude despegarme de él hasta terminarlo. Demasiadas esenas +18, practicamente ella dejaba que se la follara .. siempre. Ademas de esta nueva especie de ''seción liberadora'' ENSERIO JAJAJAJJA, no pude para de reirme la primera vez que Edward hablo sobre ello.. parecen unos niños de 16 años en vez de los ''adultos profesionales'' que son.

GoodReads Synopsis: An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.
Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.
Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.
As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.
**NOTE TITLE IS INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE**
My Thoughts: I did not know this was fan fiction based on Twilight prior to reading it. Ah...the irony of it. As I read it I thought of the glut of "50 Shades" wanna-be's, which was originally Twilight fan fiction.
Either way, I enjoyed this story if for no other reason than the banter between Bennett and Chloe. However, now that I know it's a "knock-off" I don't know if I will read any future installments. These fan fiction spin-offs are just too much alike. Plus I do agree to a certain extent that they are very close to copyright infringement. I'm not sure how I would feel if I wrote a popular book and suddenly there were all these over-night authors making money off my premise...know what I mean? Now that 50 Shades has become a sensation, I suspect more knock-offs will flood the market.

Back in the day (hehe) I'd just read this book series about vampires and werewolves but it left me wanting more. I decided to find some fanfiction to make up for the things I didn't get *cough* mostly smutty deliciousness. Everyone was all in a tizzy about a few different stories, The Office, being one of them. When I started reading it, I understood why that was.
Much to my enjoyment and glee, that fanfic became a published book. When I heard the news I flailed all over myself and had to get my hands on it as soon as it was released. There are some stories that I hold near and dear to my heart and this is one of them. To be able to have it in print and on my bookcase was a dream come true for this fangirl.
Granted, there is a lot of changes between the fanfiction and the published book, I still love it so very much. Chloe is sassy and head strong. No wilting flower, which we do often get in romantic based books. She gives as good as she gets from Bennett. And she definitely gets a lot of attitude from him. Her frustration with him pretty much jumps off the pages. I like that Chloe is a smart, successful, business woman too.
Bennett ... he's a difficult man to work for. At times he seems to be unwilling to bend. It was his way or the highway. That is, until I was really able to get into his mind. With BB alternating POVs through the book it was nice to see where his head is. He definitely has conflicting emotions when it came to Chloe. As I got to know him a little better I could understand why that is. I loved his personality, really. He's a hard working, brilliant, and protective guy. Plus, he's always in a suit and tie. You can't go wrong with that. Ever.
Beautiful Bastard is incredibly sexy and admittedly, smut filled within the first few pages. But, it's so much more than that too. There is an intense relationship between Chloe and Bennett and for this reader, it was very believable and obvious.
I love UST and this is full of that too, because even though they have multiple flings together, neither of them wants it to happen again. It's kind of funny actually. One second they are both swearing it won't happen again, then two seconds later, they're *ahem* on a desk. I spent a lot of time fanning my face, I'll just admit that right now. So if you're looking for a yummy, turned romance read, this one could be for you.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to stalk my mailbox for Beautiful Stranger!

Zrobiłam re read książki z gimnazjum. KTO MI POZWOLIŁ CZYTAĆ TO W GIMNAZJUM. Ciężko ocenić fabule bo co drugi rozdział to seks. Ale główna bohaterka wydaje się nie głupia wiec 3⭐️

Absolutely HATED this book.
I actually love the story line in this book but i haven't read a book with too much sex scenes in it. It became so annoying to be honest, so i had to skip chapters to the ending.
