Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren
4.0

h: Chloe Mills
H: Bennett Ryan aka Beautiful Bastard
(Dual POVs)

When we meet Chloe and Bennett, Chloe has been working as Bennett's assistant for approximately a year. She was working under Bennett's father, until Bennett returned home from working overseas. There is a lot of tension between the two, not so much sexual tension at first, more like two hard headed, stubborn people constantly clashing. Until one night, they're alone, after hours, in the conference room. One touch ignites the sexual tension between the two and the more times they indulge in each other, the hotter the lust burns for one another. Chloe is afraid of ruining her reputation and everything she has worked so hard for. Bennett is described as a manwhore, hasn't had too many serious relationships, and knows it's wrong to be fraternizing at his family's company.

When it comes to lust, this book moves at a pretty fast pace. When it comes to love, this book is a slow burn. A veryyy slow burn. There is a lot of back and forth between going at it in the conference room, hating each other, going at it in the stairwell, hating each other, going at it in a dressing room, hating each other, etc. BUT. If you can be patient through the push and pull, I assure you, it is worth it! I loved seeing Bennett soften around the edges as his feelings for Chloe grew more than just a fling. His dirty mouth never softened
