What a great ending to an awesome series. Pippa and Jenson were such fun characters to read about. Plus, the multiple epilogues, from every Beautiful couple, was the ultimate cherry on top of it all.

Every time I pick up a book in this series, I feel like I'm back with dear friends. I loved Jensen & Pippa's story, the wine tour with friends, and the epilogues that had me laughing & crying!

"Pippa is game for anything. I like that about her.” Me too!
Pippa and Jensen are so great. They're nothing alike, but perfect for each other. She's the mess he needs in his life. I really enjoyed this ending. I wasn't "feeling it" until the part when they both scream their angry thoughts to feel better. That was so honest and liberating. From that moment on, I think they were actually able to see each other. I love the crazy things Pippa does to play along with their fake relationship. The yoga class, LMAO. Poor girl!
It's also nice to revisit all the previous characters. The idea of writing several epilogues was awesome.

End of the entire series!!! Best part? The multiple epilogues for each of these characters - Bennett, Max, Will and Jensen. Great way to wrap up the series.

Beautiful
4 Stars
Workaholic Jensen Bergstrom is in dire need of a vacation. Thus, when his sister encourages him to join her and their friends on a road trip, he takes the opportunity to unwind and relax. Unfortunately, the plan hits a snag when he realizes that Pippa Cox, the slightly deranged woman he met on the flight from London, is one of his traveling companions. The only singles in a group of couples, Pippa and Jensen are soon thrown together and what ensues is a delightful and oft-times hilarious romance.
This is the final installment in the series and it is a huge improvement on Ruby and Niall's debacle in the previous book. Pippa is a breath of fresh air who urges Jensen to put aside his stoicism and let his inner rebel out. Their interactions are sexy and fun.
As with all of the books in the series, there is a section of angst where Jensen and Pippa come to terms with what they want for the future. Thankfully, this is not overly lengthy, dramatic, or irritating.
The short series of prologues at the end catching up on the various couples in the series is a sweet and satisfying bonus.

Great ending to the series. It took me a minute to remember the characters and their backstories. Once I did, I enjoyed it. Pippa and Jansen’s story was adorable. This last installment was not nearly as spicy as the others in this series. Good balance of plot and spice.

Hmm now this was a surprise. One thing I expect from Christina Lauren is a lot of time between the sheets (or up against the wall, in the shower, changing cabin etc.). Beautiful seemed pretty tame compared to the rest of the book in series.
There were some chapters that even dared to touch some deeper topics. Like what do we really need in life to be happy etc. Sometimes it worked and they had me in thoughts, but (sadly) sometimes I was just bored.
Maybe this writing duo is maturing? Or maybe Beautiful was a fluke and the next book will be sex-fest again. Since it's about enemies to lovers romance, one thing is for sure, I am definitely reading [b:Dating You / Hating You|32620304|Dating You / Hating You|Christina Lauren|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481574813s/32620304.jpg|53207990] when it comes out.
