Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren
3.0

I found this novel on a list of "must-read romantic comedies", so I figured I'd give it a try. Not sure what the author of that list was thinking, because this book is not a comedy, nor is it particularly romantic. It is erotica, plain and simple, and while I have no problem with erotica, I usually like to know that's what I'm getting. I'm no prude, but I tend to prefer books where the plot drives the sex scenes, rather than sex driving the plot.
All that said, though, this book wasn't BAD. I finished it. I even enjoyed it. I found it utterly ridiculous, but it served the purpose of escapism, which is why I read most anything, so I can't really take the star rating down TOO far.
