An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.

Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office

As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.

Originally only available online as The Office by tby789—and garnering over 2 million reads on fanfiction sites—Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for re-release.

Amazing!. The first couple of chapters had me rolling! It’s hilarious how much Bennett and Chloe despised each other! But all in all I really enjoyed this book

NURSEGIRL05

love this book. I loved this book and actually enjoyed it more than FSOG. I thought the sex scenes were more intense and I felt the female character was more strong willed and independent than A.S.

Melunasasha

Real. Good read, no phyco, just a real man. Lovely

Bellat18

Predictable but Sexy. If you love a good sultry romance novel, this is a must read.

2CMORROW

So good. Loved!

Angeapples2

Good Weekend Read. I enjoyed this one but there was a few things that I would have liked to have seen. I don’t think we got enough character development in general... Chloe’s was lacking. Bennet’s was better. I enjoyed his chapters more. I wish I had more from the first book. Overall I thought it was a decent read which is why I would do 3.5 stars.

ReneeKIR

Twilight ?. It seems someone was in love with Twlight Saga .... The characters names? Lol Good entertainment

Kclovesmermaids

Bleh. It was ok.

HappySmilingOne

Captivating Read!. Captivating read with well developed characters! Really well written! Loved it!

Tpeelz

Good plot. Loved this book. It kept me interested the whole time.

Royalc11

Amazing series!. The entire series is amazing. It is one of the few series that I would give a 5-star rating! I was hooked from the very beginning until the end. Definitely a series worth reading!

Annie’slove

Perfection. This book is my favorite, the author captured my attention and I love Chloe so much. I’d like to see Bennett’s trademark smirk

PattiA810

Sexy. I loved everything about this book! I loved Chloe and Bennett. They are two dynamic characters that I could not help but feel all their frustrations and anxieties as they navigated their relationship. They made me laugh, hold my breath and even shred a tear. I also loved how the chapters alternated between their points of view. I liked knowing what each of them were thinking and feeling at the same time. I thought it gave their story more depth and understanding. A great read!

Couponluv

Enjoyed it. Sex is hot characters grow & well written. Not much to say after that. Starting on beautiful stranger next!

Queen Battey

Beautiful Bastard. Good read, very entertaining.

Lollllarose

Ahhhh ❤️. Love Bennett and Chloe! I’ve read this book three times and love it every time. Christina Lauren just has a way of making you fall in love with characters. Would recommend over every romance book I’ve read, and I’ve read a bunch! Wish CL would make more books like beautiful series and seasons series!

Mommy2bee711

Quick steamy read. Like the title states it's a quick read, I finished it in a day, but has some pretty steamy scenes. Worth the price.

G1H2

Love these two. Goodness, Chloe and Bennett’s chemistry is off the charts! They are smoking hot from the very beginning. I loved their banter and the love-hate between them. Really fun quick read that have me begging for more!

Travelqueen77

This book is perfection!. If I could give it 100 stars, I would. No skimming, not wordy, very hot and engaging throughout. Adding this one to the best of the best list. 💛

Tdiaz21

Love it! Couldn’t put it down.. This is definitely a page turner. Love the characters and the sexy description of the flirtatiousness between them.

Mldixon1991

AH-Mazing!. I finished this book within a 24 hour period. I started and couldn’t stop!

Jocelyn927

Great smut. Great book!!! A must read!

SkyeL.M.

Sexy and fun. I’m seeing a lot of comparisons to 50 shades in the reviews, but honestly this is much better. Female character is strong and very funny, leading man’s POV is enjoyable and hot, and the sex is hot and plenty of it! An easy, steamy read—way more fun than melodramatic.

Morales515

Great read, definitely worth it!!. I loved this series! Quick reads and good story line.

FLDSMDFURF

Wow Wow Wow. I love a good from enemies to lovers story and this was a super HOT one

NutMeggo1

Super sexy office romance!. Review originally posted on Reading Books Like a Boss Well, well, well, this book was certainly entertaining! I am binge reading the Beautiful Bastard series in preparation for Beautiful Secret , which releases on April 14th! So far, I'm happy with my decision (haha!). Chloe and Bennett's story was equal parts scorching hot and sweet. Chloe has worked at Ryan Media Group, a big advertising firm in Chicago, under the Bennett family for years. As a prestigious scholarship, part of the requirement is that she get real world experience. She's brilliant, savvy, and doesn't take crap from anyone, especially her boss Bennett Ryan. He's a jerk in every sense of the word. He bosses Chloe around every chance he can get. But sometimes bossiness is just a cover up for insane attraction. I really liked this book! Was it perfect? No, but I had so much fun reading this book. I devoured it in nearly one sitting. I can't wait to continue the series. Chloe and Bennett fall in love with each other secretly and very reluctantly. Chloe wants to prove herself to everyone, to show that she's smart enough to hold her own in this high-powered world, so she's scared of others finding out about her boss. Bennett struggled with his dual role as her boss and her "sexboss." <---I had to say that. I was a bit worried that my appreciation for her appearance would interfere with my ability to be her boss, but I quickly reassured myself that the world was full of beautiful women and it would be easy enough to separate the two. Oh how stupid I'd been. I love stories where the hero realizes his feelings long before heroine and that is the case in this book. In the very beginning Bennett realizes that he is in serious like with Chloe. He loves that she talks back to him, the way she dresses, and how intelligent she is. It doesn't take long for their (many) trysts turn into something more. I think my favorite moment of the book was the scene in San Diego when they reunite after time apart. It's clear they missed each other. Their relationship really blossomed there and I loved all of their interactions! "Chloe, you're not going to learn anything from this poster. Let's go get a cup of coffee and maybe a blow job in the bathroom." I've noticed that there seems to always be some unnecessary sexual fetishes in Christina Lauren's books that takes away from my enjoyment of the books. In Sweet Filthy Boy , it was the weird role-playing thing. In Beautiful Bastard, it is Bennett's panty-ripping and collection thing and the constant sex. I've seen this book labeled as erotica, so I expected a lot of sex. But these two had sex at least three times in the first 20% (one time was within the first 5 %). It was a bit excessive. Even though there was a lot of sexytimes, I still found their relationship believable and I could truly feel their feelings developing, which was the story's saving grace. Read it! 3.5 stars

Kosmicivy21

Ehh. Very minimal character development. Not a bad story but had much more potential had the author allowed the audience to get to know the characters better. All sex and minimal romance/love.

JoanneHenry

Loved loved loved. This was a great read! Better then the typical rich guy/girl in need book. Bennett didn't flaunt his money and Chloe was smart and driven. Plus they weren't overly f-ed up like many characters in these types of books. Will read all books by this author!

Shalom Molina

Hated it. This book was awful and predictable

Layni1998

Would have been 5 stars but... I wished the book was longer. I truly did. I enjoyed reading it. I was sad when I realized I got to the last page. It was hard to put it down. 🤍

Kristinmeurer

Awesome Read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I hadn’t heard anything about it or the authors until I picked it up off of the shelf, and I was pleasantly surprised. The characters may not be as developed as the characters in 50 shades, however, I liked the contrast. I started to get bored with the 50 shades series after the second book, so this was a nice change. Definitely kept my interest. I felt that the sex scenes were equally intriguing, as well! There were a few spelling errors, but nothing that would make me want to give it a bad review. It may not be the most developed plot, but it’s a fun read that keeps you hooked until the end. I would definitely recommend it and I wish they would make a sequel to see how the two main characters’ story unfolds!

ELingal04

WOW. I never read a book by this Arthur but this book was amazing. I could not put it down. I have already purchased book #2 which I am hoping it’s as good as the story between Bennett and Chloe. The sizzling chemistry between these two was off the charts. The hate then love story was told very well.

StephNavar

Amazing book. I loved how the authors decided to include the thoughts of both Chloe and Bennet. Having to view their pure emotions. I also loved how I can see how each of them show how they fall in love little by little with their actions, thoughts, and emotions. This book had me hooked and addicted. Amazing work, I definitely recommend.

ColeLeeB

Fun!. One of the more fun romances I've read.

Phatenah

Not what I expected. Wasn't worth the money

Kat1dyd

Totally worth it and more!. This is an awesome book. Finally, a female character with some attitude. Best lines ever, "If this had been someone else's life, I would so be high-fiving them. Too bad it wasn't." Awesome. Great sex scenes to boot!

Emmy316

First book I’ve read willingly. Let me tell you. I am not a book reader at all. I can’t tell you the last book I read that wasn’t required for school purposes. But this book I took a chance on based off a friend telling me to read it. I love it. I read it twice. The chemistry they have is unreal and the outcome I loved. It makes me not wanna read the second book to this in case they don’t end up together lol

AshaMarsha

Read More Than 10 Times. This is a must read Erotic novel!!

*AMANDA23*

Amazing. I just started reading today and I'm already on page 500 something ahh love this book!!!

Kaswilli

My go to series. This book and the series is one of my favorites and recommend it to everyone that asks me what they should read. Chloe and Bennett are one of my favorite book couples. Christina Lauren does great showing who they are and who they are together... Plus it gets steamy. Windows, changing areas, the bed, the stairs. Ah just read it! Great book, fun read!

Jojoswain

Beautiful bastard. Best ever

Steph8206

Obsessed. This is one of those books that you end up going back to for the 100th time. I cant even remember how many times I’ve read BB at this point! So so good and you truly root for these two to make it!!! Love this book so much.

Dirtybut

Loved. Why are people comparing to fifty shades? I don't think this author is trying to recreate another novel. Plus, Chloe is much smarter and has better mental dialogue than Anna and her stupid inner goddess (lame). Loved all the books in this series. It takes a lot to keep me reading and these books did it!

Vgmua

Same character names as Twilight. I know this is completely random but did anyone else who read the Twilight series realize that the character names are the same... Carlisle (dad), Esme (mom), Emmett (brother), Rosalie (sister-in-law), Alice (best friend), Jasper (bff's fiancé) Don't know how I caught that but I thought it was kinda funny :)

Danzyl

Sexy. It was a fun sexy interesting story

Bellarina12

Couldn't put the book down. I read this book in 2 days. I was hooked right from the start! Such a great read....def recommend reading!!!

Christy Faucheux

Fell in love. I read this and completely fell in love with Christina Lauren and their books. Amazing!

Luvtoread44

Excellent! Again and Again!. I have nothing but praise for this book. I’ve read it several times and it just gets better and better. Sharp, witty, sexy, genuine and just overall fun to read and get lost in. Highly recommended. Update: I just re-read this book for the maybe 10th time? Still love it. There is something about the chemistry between Bennett and Chloe that is genuine and never gets old.

Samee sam sam

Not a love story. It’s not a love story tbh. It’s porn. I paid w/o knowing. But didn’t finish reading.

Vbayles18

Beautiful Bastard. This book was just okay. I can’t believe it was $9 though!! Compared to the Wild Season series, this book is boring. You barely get to know the characters. Maybe it’s just me but i like a description of the characters. I didn’t even know what color Chloe’s eyes were and you didn’t hear about her hair color until pretty far in. It would’ve been nice to see the characters on their own more. A background to each one and why they are the way they are would’ve been helpful too. If you love Christina Lauren as much as me i highly recommend the Wild Season series. Especially Finn and Harlowe’s book.

MimzyJ

Great Read. Amazing

Lizzard1987

Awful!. Poor writing, bad story line, unrealistic chemistry between the main characters. Unless you are a die hard Twilight fanfic reader, skip this one!

Sunnystj

Pleasantly surprised. This book was quiet good and miles ahead of any current books in this genre.

Triiiinaaaa

Lost brain cells reading this. The worst thing I’ve ever read. Cannot emphasise how terrible it was, got a third of the way in and had to give up. Why would anyone publish this? I feel less intelligent from reading it. Wish there was a zero star option. Terrible writing, terrible story and completely bad taste in this #metoo era.

Sjspringett

Fantastic. Loved loved loved it

Fantastic!!!!. OMG I absolutely loved this book. So much so as soon as I finished I couldn't bare to read anything else so had to immediately read it again. (I very rarely read books twice) Thanks for such a great read :)

Even all taken is taken

Good. It was good but I preferred their beautiful stranger

Tweezy👌

Well worth the read. I was tiring of all the books out there that were on the top of the charts yet poorly written. This was definitely a book you couldn't put down and a joy to read!

GeekyBookMama

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I loved Chloe and Bennett, they had so much chemistry. I loved the secondary characters also. The storyline was so freaking good.

MelMox

Disappointing ending. I did love this book - characters were really good - but the ending was v. disappointing as it seemed to have been rushed

Gailie101

FABULOUS <3 <3. Couldn't put it down loved the book a must read FIVE STARS

SabJC

Fab read not worth the ££. I gave it 4 stars because I didn't think it was worth paying that much for an e-book and that the ending was too rushed. Regardless, I really enjoyed reading it, I love how we get both sides of the story. I felt Chloe didn't talk about her feelings for Bennett as much as he did for her. Overall it was a really good read - and I love Bennett :)

Judexox

Loved it❤. Absolutely loved this book, couldn't put it down. Loved the banter between Bennett and Chloe. Fell in love with him straight away :)

Bekahfelly

Love it and read it!!!. Don't normally write reviews but decided too because I love this series so much!!! I like it because its as sexy as 50 shades but Chloe is a much stronger and likeable character than Ana Steele, and it's a little less cheesy. Perfect office romance tale, and they're perfect for each other. Haha!

Keisha0011

Good. Good read i really enjoyed it! Lots of hot scenes but really funny in parts to. Ending was a little abrupt and I think it's a bit over priced

Vivvy12

Brilliant. Read the book in one sitting coz I couldn't put it down. Fast paced with some really good humour perfectly timed. Can't wait to read more by this author

Michaelacollier

Really good read. Loved all three of them, can't wait for the other three to come out

Fantastic. The best book I've read in ages could not put it down! Loved it!!

Simmo201

Absolutely brilliant. Loved this story, loved having it written from both characters side. I couldn't it it down.highly recommend.

Eleanormarier

Dissappointed. I thought this would be really good but there wasn’t a lot of dialogue between the character? It just suddenly happened without any build up or real back story. Not for me sadly.

Eve7jls

Fab. Fantastic book. Couldn't put it down.

SR.23

Good but ending spoilt it. It was a good read, how romantically involved the main characters became in a matter of time but as it became serious they were unable to share their feelings about love. I felt the ending was rushed and needed to slow down. I loved how each chapter was broken down with each of their thoughts. I found majority of the time feeling how Bennett felt than Chloe. It was written from his perspective more than hers, although alot of their thoughts shared similarity. I'm expecting alot from the next book and look forward to reading it.

Longtimereaderfirsttimetalker

Good but pricey!. A good read, I enjoyed it. But was NOT worth the £5.99 price tag!! I read it all in one night so way to expensive!

Holslucas

5 star. Great book. Read in under 24 hours too. Definitely recommend : )

Day-dreamer84

So good. I loved it such a good book you must read it.

KarDall

Ok. Fairly good, but feel like I've heard it all before. I liked that the story is told from both points of view, without that it would have been boring. Not worth the price, but worth a read if you haven't got anything better to do!

Mrs E.B

Fab!. Loved this book. Read it in under 24 hrs would definitely recommend to a friend and will no doubt be reading it again. Looking forward to the next book!

Tgirl91

Fantastic!!. Left me want more!! Couldnt put it down!! Can't wait for another book!!

Brilliant. Loved it! No words for it, just loved it!!!!

Very good!. Really good book, great story line!! Although most of the character names are the same as The Twilight Saga cast such as Mike Newton, Emmet etc other than that 5 stars!

MissSpanadora

A great book. I downloaded and read this in a few hours, I couldn't put it down. Love the chemistry between the two. A great read, I hope there's more at some point in the future.

Entertaining and sexy. Enjoyable read, seems more real, possible than some other novels. Sex scenes are pretty scandalous- nice! The writing describes a magnetism between the lead characters and does a good job weaving that through their interactions, thoughts the entire book.

TRY HARD

Wow! Could not put this book down!. Great book! Although, it seemed a little rushed at the end, it actually went with the whole book. We are used to the happily ever after at the end of a book, which is why I think some people rated it as a little rushed. I think it was perfect. Would like to read an actual sequel to Chloe's and Bennett's store though. Reading the steamy sex scenes really gets your heart pumping! I would definitely recommend this book. I really enjoyed reading FSOG but this story is told more realistically. I like that Chloe has a strong female character.

NURSEGIRL05

love this book. I loved this book and actually enjoyed it more than FSOG. I thought the sex scenes were more intense and I felt the female character was more strong willed and independent than A.S.

Sp22707

Best book ever!!. Could not put this book down!!! I read it in one day!! Such a great story and I loved the characters!!! I hope there will be a sequel to this love story!!! I want more.

01veronikita

Beautiful!!!. Couldn't put it down!!

A lafrance

Best book :). I have read this book in less than 24 hrs and I have two small children that kept me pretty busy at the same time as I was reading. I just couldn't put this book down!!! I loved how fiery Chloe was and she didn't take Bennett's bs!! I also loved that it also told the story from his point of view as well, you don't see that in many books lately! I would love for this story to continue. The last couple of chapters I felt rushed the story to get the end but it would be nice to have a second book!!!! This is the 1st time I write a review for any book :)

Mrs T.L.BIII

Now that what I'm talking about. Good read!.. A must read. Love how its both of them. Love!!'

Chris8222

Not the best writing. It took too long for me to reach anything interesting. By the time I actually wanted to read more, the book was over. The "being in love, but not admitting it to the other person" is all good, but in this case, it just went on and on. And I didn't even like Chloe, didn't understand her motivations as a character. Disappointing read....

Kat4mateo

Awesome!. Wonderfully written, entertaining and hilarious!

Sobosi

Sequel please. Please write a sequel please please I love the book it's amazing

Heather_C

LOVE!. LOVED this book! Hilariously written and lots of steamy romance! Couldn't put it down once I started it!!

JoyaMichelle14

Amazing!!!. I bought this book on a Sunday started reding it that night and finished it late Monday night... Loved it!!! Will for sure read it again. Now on to the next one.... ;)

RomaceAddict

Have a boyfriend/husband around to help cool down!!!. I loved this book!! I am a romance addict and the dirtier the better. This book DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I loved the relationship between the main characters and enjoyed their banter. Made me want to work for my husband but that would probably end in murder vs. good sex.

Pris.89

Absolutely amazing. Loved it from the very beginning until the end. It never got boring :)

Dory--dimples

Panty ripper!. This book is crazy...good quick read...

Ah-Mazing!. Loved this book! Could not put it down... I was looking for a book to read after 50 shades and this one was it! Completely made me forget who Mr Grey was... Hello Bennett! Cannot wait for the next book!

Love, Love, Love. This is such a great book! Couldnt put it down! Cant wait for more!(:

Angel0621

Loved it!. Definitely a must read. Kept my eyes glued to my iPad for a week. 😍👌

Reneeot

Witty & entertaining!. Whoever says this book was bad needs to live a little! It's a great story--loved the characters, banter and ending! Worth the $!! Ready to read more of these clever authors...

Viciousvirgo

Good book. I enjoyed this book but I wish it was a little longer. The ending seemed a bit rushed to me but the book was still a good read. It wasn't 50 shades or bared to you but still good. I would recommend this book.

Aad1996

Grammar is Everything!. As a Fifty Shades reader, you can see the difference in the word choice in this book. It was terrible. I think if the author described things differently and used different words instead of the ones she did I would have liked it a lot better.

Gmaypes

Steamy, funny, well written. I thought this book was very well written. The sex scenes were steamy and the banter between the two main characters hilarious. The plot line took some surprising turns I didn't expect. I love that Chloe doesn't always just fall at Ben's feet. I'm not really understanding the comparisons to fifty, but this story is just as good.

Loved it!. I didn't know what to expect with this book and was pleasantly surprised. I fell in love with the characters unexpectedly and it is now one of my favorites. Great humor, cute romantic storyline and awesome super steamy sexy scenes for sure!

Steamy. Read the book in less than a day, i couldn't put it down!! The story was ridiculously steamy yet heartfelt. i love the characters and was dissapointed when it ended i wanted more!!! i love that the story wasnt trying to hard to inject weird plots. it flowed very well. Cant wait to read Beautiful Stranger :))

Ok, easy read. Overall, fun to read. Wish it had a better ending though. Hopefully there's a pt.2 to this story.

I loved the book. I loved the book. I enjoyed 50 shades of grey to. But this is a little less about sex and more about the relationship and how both of them feel about each other I just hope they write another book about these to in there life after Chloe getting her degree

It got my heart racing. I enjoyed it a lot. Read it in an afternoon. Didn't like the way it ended without a proper wrap up. Too many adds at the end. I strongly dislike getting to the end of the book and ten pages before it ends it stops. You feel like you have been cheated.

Jodi lee

LOVED THIS BOOK!. Read it in a day! Went back the next day to get beautiful stranger! Can't wait to start reading it!!!

Amoresverdaderos

Perfect!. It's a perfect combination of erotism and romance! Good old fashion romance with a touch of sex. Just the right amount of both elements without going to the extreme. no BDSM bull. definitelya nice change of scenery from all BDSM 50 brought. Nice characters. Funny at times.

Twilight. Loved the book but couldn't help but think of twilight every time I came across the names Rose, Emment, Esme , and the town mills fad lived in was even forks!! Just wished she would had come up with some new stuff so I wouldn't be thinking of a whole other book while reading this one

Spurlygirly

Hilarious and hot. I've never written a review - even after reading 500 romance books in the last year. The best part about this book (aside from the typical romance and steamy scenes) was the quick wit and hilarious snide remarks. I found myself chuckling throughout. A great read.

JKM42410

LOVED IT!!!. Great story and super funny! Highly recommend!!!!

Amber10210

Good. Was good, plot, characters... Could have been longer, more elaboration on their relationship

Cl9800

Great book!!. Need a 2nd book! Funny, entertaining and just all around good!

BeezPod

Awesome!. Such a fantastic book. I honestly could not put it down!

Yoloalltheway

Good read.. At first I was like "hey, slow down" The first 2 chapters were wrapped into just crazy scenes but then the book became very meaningful. I started falling for these 2 characters that are so much a like. Good read. I enjoyed and was not dissapointed,

Marissakay89

WAY BETTER THAN 50 SHADES. This book series is way better than the 50 Shades series. The writing by these two women is fantastic and completely engaging. I could NOT put it down. You can really feel the emotions the writers are trying to portray. Plus Bennett Ryan is definitely sexier and more realistic of a character than Christian Grey ;). I highly recommend reading this book. I can't wait to finish it and move on to the second one!

Cairee

Great. Finished it in one day. Absolutely brilliant. I really want my boyfriend to start ripping my panties off. Lol....
