Beautiful Bastard
by Christina Lauren
This is only my second Christina Lauren read and I have to say I was wildly disappointed.
While I knew this book would be steamy (yay!!) I didn’t realize it was basically going to be porn with a plot(boo)! That’s fine I do enjoy books like that, but I feel like it has to be done right. Beautiful Bastard just didn’t do it for me.
Chloe and Bennett start their hate-sex relationship right away which is exhilarating and I found myself excited to see how their relationship developed into one with more depth, but that development never really happened for me.
I also ended up finding Chloe a little annoying and I felt like she over reacted about certain events that took place. Usually I love when the female character in a book stands up for herself but I found her to be whiney. I found myself looking forward to reading from Bennet’s perspective which almost never happens for me in any book I’ve read.
Overall, if you’re just looking for good smut, read this book! It’s why it got two stars instead of one from me. Overall I wasn’t a fan and definitely won’t be finishing the series.
