3/3.5 stars. It was sexy enough and funny enough. I enjoyed every bit and couldn't put it down. But for once I would like to see a guy as an IT geek who thinks he is totally out of his billionaire female boss' league. Is there a story like that out there? Suggestions.

Not much to say about this one... a summer read.
Yuck. I hate the beginning. Listened to 90 minutes and had to stop. It was too much and too negative.
This book was all in one. It was funny,sexy,hot,annoying,fun,and really well developed.
Bennett was a beautiful bastard for sure. I kinda found it entertaining. I loved when they argue its enter-fucking-taining.

Confession: I tried a couple years ago to read Beautiful Bastard but I couldn't get into it at all. Sure, the sex was hot, but I needed more from Chloe and Bennett. The antagonistic connection did not work for me.
That was then and this is now. Maybe I'm more open-minded when it comes to the books I read. Maybe it's just my mood at this moment. But, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Yes, I wanted Chloe to grow a backbone. Yes, I wanted Bennett to prove he was a good guy with a heart, underneath his icy, asshole exterior. But, I found myself enamored with the story. Their chemistry. Their denial that they wanted more from each other than just sex. How obvious it was that they were trying to kid themselves. So much yes.
I'm glad I gave this book another shot. The audiobook was excellent. I look forward to continuing this series.
Review to come!

I couldn´t stop reading! I LOVE this book and can´t wait to read "Beautiful Stranger".
I must preface this by saying that The Office is one of my fave ff stories;and I've read hundreds in the past 4 years. Easily one of my top 20 fave fanfics. And I hesitated reading this book, thinking it would be exactly the same story with different names. But, Beautiful Bastard was definitely unexpected. Yes the names were different, the city was different and the story, to me, seemed different. I don't know if I can articulate it accurately, but I felt like this was a different journey with Bennett and Chloe. The synopsis is pretty much the same such that it's about two people that despise each other and they learn how to love and above all respect each other. I was pleasantly entertained and thrilled. I honestly can't wait to see what Christina and Lauren do for Beautiful Stranger.
Chloe is a very hardworking and smart intern.
Bennet is a blunt, inconsiderate bastard.
He is also her boss.
"You realize early in life that beauty is only skin-deep and, ugly goes straight to the bone."
I got this books without reading the blurb.
I'm still not sure what I expected, but it sure wasn't a
