5.0
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.

So problematic. See content warnings about why.

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.

I had so much fun reading this it was super funny and the steamy scenes were STEAMY, but I would've preferred less of them and more story.
