jazzmyth 's review for:
Beautiful Bastard
by Christina Lauren
I'm a huge fan of the Crossfire series, and have been looking for similar books. Beautiful Bastard was recommended over and over again, and with a high Goodreads rating I went ahead and checked it out of the library.
First of all, I brought this with me to read on my commute, and I had to stop and put it away. The word "clitoris" was used 15 pages in. There were four sex scenes in the first 100 pages. I prefer the slow burn category, and I felt like the sex suffered from telling instead of showing. I was disappointed with the book for that reason, as I didn't feel invested in the characters or their relationship.
It's readable, and I recognize that it's just not my cup of tea. I don't plan to continue the series, though I was interested in one of the side characters. Three stars.
