Beautiful Bitch (The Beautiful Series Book 3)

My re-read journey of The Beautiful Series continues. This is a bonus novella to give us BB fanatics a little more Bennett and Chloe time. We certainly didn’t get our fill yet! After the chase and the struggle for Bennett and Chloe to find their footing we now get to see what it is like when these two really join forces and we see what their happily ever after looks like now that the two are joined."I felt a smile pull at my mouth. This was us. It was such a familiar battle of love and frustration, desire and exasperation. She would push every button I had, and then uncover new ones I didn’t even know I had, and push those."Life for these two powerful, business world people would be anything but a walk in the park, right? How about spending a little time in France?! Reality has set in after their time spent hooking up in Ryan Media Group stairwells and they find that in their business driven world neither is spending the time with the other like they would like. Two people, who before their careers were their whole lives, now need to prioritize and figure out how to still make time to be wholly present with the one that they love.“I can function without you. But I don’t like being away from you. It feels like you take my home with you when you go.”This basically picks up where BB(1) left off. It is done in a way where it is actually set 11 months later but through memories we see exactly what happened from right after Chloe’s big presentation to how they got to where they are today. We get to see more of their HEA and how the Chloe and Bennett co-exist now that their secret is public knowledge. We see Chloe nervously (yah, her… nervous!) re-join the Ryan family, now as the girlfriend of Bennett. We see the BB get to sweat it out a bit while meeting Chloe’s dad for the first time, after he is sure her farther has heard stories about what a nightmare her boss was (maybe still is…). We see how they navigate both working at RMG now that Chloe is no longer an intern but a full-fledge employee.“Find a woman who will be your equal in every way. Don’t let yourself fall for someone who’ll put your world before theirs. Fall for the powerhouse who lives as fearlessly as you do. Find the woman who makes you want to be a better man."It is light and fun and just the right amount of dosage to satisfy the ache leaving Bennett Ryan had left, especially when we get to see Bennett in love. Christina Lauren creates novels that are fun, sassy, steamy, and swoon-worthy. Bennett is a charismatic and oh so sexy. Chloe is a strong, ambitious lady easy to cheer for.You will hear no complaints from me about this return!

I had made the mistake of reading Beautiful Stranger before reading this. I wasn't paying attention t the order of things. However, I am very pleased to say that nothing was in any way ruined for me by doing so.Beautiful Bitch is a novella that gives us that, "Please I want to have more," of Bennett and Chloë that so many of us were asking for after Beautiful Bastard. It was, to be truthful, exactly what I wanted it to be. Sex, romance, those "ah-ha" moments we all know and love to have in our lives. Christina and Lauren really are quite the writing duo and I'm supremely glad that they are carrying on with this series.These are books that are quite obviously written for an adult audience. Just the titles alone suggest so. It would be tough to push these titles passed any other filter! That being said, I am never bored with Christina and Lauren's writing styles. Sometimes erotic fiction gets a little monotonous. A bit too much of the same after same. But the writing here is just so blatant, realistic and sometimes even cute that I can imagine that these women have many more books in their future.This was just the quick read I needed it to be before diving into yet another full length novel. Thank you ladies!

SPOILERS FOR ALL THREE BOOKS OUT !!In this short novella - we pick up where we left off with Chloe and Bennett - after the misunderstandings, the fall out - the break up - and eventual coming together and professing their love, we're left with the warm tingles - but still want to know what's going to happen to these two. Are they going to continue to work together? Is Chloe going to continue on With Ryan Media? Will they stay in Chicago? Is Bennett going to MAN up and finally marry the girl?Ohhhh we got it all - and after, of course a tease in Beautiful Stranger (which was 6 stars in my books)In Beautiful Bitch - we go on the in-between from Beautiful Bastard and Beautiful Stranger. We've already met Max and Sarah - but now we get to hear the behind the scenes when Bennett calls Max and asks to use his French villa to whisk Chloe away for some much-needed alone time before their big move to NYC. We find out that Bennett and Chloe have kept their relationship going - but with work and the move to NYC they don't get enough alone time together - instead having to keep the sparks alive with quickies here and there. This leaving Bennett feeling very frustrated and feeling sorry for himself he convinces Chloe to go away with him to France for three weeks before their big move. She reluctantly says yes, not being able to let go of her control with her work, and still trying to find an apartment in New York for the both of them - she finally agrees to go, but only to leave the day after Bennett so she can tie up a few loose ends. These loose ends leave her stranded in New York for three days and Bennett drunk, and feeling sorry for himself in France. Once Chloe finally makes it over the pond she's decided that she's going to as Bennett to marry her, and realizes all along she shouldn't have reservations about their relationship - since they first admitted their feelings in San Diego - even though they broke up for a time - she knew that their feelings were real, and that this was the life she wanted to make with him. We the readers, knowing full well that Bennett is planning on asking her to marry him as well - we wait for the inevitable conclusion when they both spring it on one another. It was cute - it was worth the almost five bucks to have a little more closure with these two - and DEFINITELY can't wait for the release of Beautiful Bombshell - out September 3rd where we'll get another peek of Bennett, Chloe, Max and Sarah.

Love it.

Love it and can't get enough.

J'ai lu ce livre en une soirée. Le seul défaut que je pourrai lui trouver est que l'histoire est tellement passionnante qu'il est difficile de poser le livre quelques instants! L'histoire est géniale, torride. C'est génial de retrouver Chloé et Bennet! Toujours aussi attachants et passionnés l'un par l'autre!

I loved this book. The whole series has been awesome and this was passionate, sweet and romantic. So gorgeous . Bennett and Chloe are just perfect for each other and I loved that so much of this story was his point of view. Beautiful Bombshell next.......

Wieder mal ein tolles Buch von Christina Lauren. Es erzählt uns wieder ein bisschen mehr von Chloe und Bennett. Wie die anderen 2 Bücher auch einfach super geschrieben. Kann es nur empfehlen.
