Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren

2.0

---

2-2.5 stars — this is the first Christina Lauren book that I wasn’t in love with from the get go. The two main characters just seem to dislike each other so much at the beginning and to go from that and being at each other’s throats to ripping off each other’s clothing in the span of a chapter (...a few pages really) just doesn’t seem possible to me. Not to mention that they kind of treat each other like crap throughout the whole book. I finished it because I wanted to know what happened between the two of them and there’s some redemption at the end. But overall, just a big nope from me. Also, the plot was basically non existent. Just lots of steamy smut scenes (which I’m okay with) and some story mixed in. It just needed more of a plot. Probably won’t read on with the series, and I think I’ll just stick to their standalone books from now on.
