What is there not to love about Beautiful Stranger? NOTHING! Sit back and let me tell you a little about this wonderful book.
Sara Dillon was hurt and cheated on by her former boyfriend. Moving to New York City to start a new life and taking a position with Ryan Media Group, working with Bennett Ryan and Chloe Mills, Sara decides that she is going to close herself off, love is no longer an option. That all changes the night she meet a Beautiful Stranger in a bar, and decides on a quick hookup. Unfortunately, her hookup is none other than Max Stella, the Posts page 6 playboy.
Max Stella is stunned when his Petal takes off running after a quick shag in the hall, no name, no number, just a pair of panties to remember her by. It doesn't take him long to find her again, and learning her name is just the start for these two. When Sara approached Max and asks him for a no stings, Friday's only, only in public, NEVER at either apartment, pictures allowed by no faces, kind of relationship, Max jumps at the chance. As these two start drifting further and further from their agreement, and closer and closer towards a relationship, can Max convince Sara that he is not her ex.
Ok, I have to say that I LOVE Max Stella! I want a man just like him. He is smart, cheeky, rich, athletic, loving, supportive, caring, and sexy as the day is long. I can really relate to Sara. I understand all about giving someone the benefit of the doubt, wanting with everything inside yourself to believe in someone and then have them prove you wrong. What makes Max and Sara work, is that Max pushes Sara to reach outside her comfort zone, while never forcing her to do anything that she doesn't want to do. I love how Max notices the little things about Sara, that she realizes that her boyfriend of many years never did. I love how Max strives to always put Sara's feelings first, no matter what.
If you are looking for a smokin hot read, want to revisit old friends like Bennett and Chloe, then pick up Beautiful Stranger and sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
