Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren
1.0
This book made me feel icky and stupid.
Character analysis:
I did not care for the ML at all. He was meant to be an alpha male type I guess, but he seemed like a constipated dick to me.
As for the FL, she was supposed to be a hardworking, LaPerla wearing, having a tragic past, sexy assistant, but good god, I hated it and her. She somehow had this 'not like other girls' vibe about her.
Plot:
Plot what plot, that was a porno.
They had zero chemistry. I don't know why writers try to insert romantic compatibility where there is sexual compatibility (thought that was the icky part to read).
They apparently hated each other. I can't exactly remember why. Maybe he hated her because he couldn't have her so he was being a middle school bully, and she hated him because I think he was rude and physically attractive? Idr, it was weird.
Writing:
Meh. Though a lot of the stuff he said (and she too) was creepy and cringy.
Everything I hated:
1. They had sex in a changing room at a lingerie shop. And no it was not sexy. It was gross and creepy, not to mention very unsanitary for the other people who will be using that room.
2. He was jealous in such an ugly possessive way. She ain't a toy bro, chill.
3. The unnecessary 'realisation of love' part. Be fuck buddies you guys. There's no shame.
4. The fact that she calls him 'Beautiful Bastard' *gags*
5. He speaks French and it's sexy *snooze*
6. She falls in love so fast. It isn't love, sister. It's just all the endorphins that the conference room sex is releasing.
7. He has a panty fetish.
8. Not to mention the fact that he said that what he felt for her the first time he saw her (yes only saw for one moment, not talk, just saw her laughing), he hadn't felt his entire relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Idk if it's supposed to be romantic, but I do not think a guy who so blatantly disregards his ex-girlfriend isn't shit.
Everything I liked:
When it ended.
Conclusion:
Nope. Not for me.
