About this listen

 An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the “deliciously steamy” (Entertainment Weekly) romance novel that launched the careers of the New York Times bestselling authors of Love and Other Words and The Unhoneymooners.

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. Contemporary Contemporary Romance Romance Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction Comedy

BRILLIANT BOOK!!!

I loved this book!!!! I totally recommend it because of the enemies to lover relationship.
Characters Bennett Ryan and Chloe Mills love hate relationship will definitely have your heart racing, from the foreplay of verbal spats both denying that they feel anything but contempt for each other to the steamy ,hot, passionate side that they both claim will help them to get each other out of their system.

BRILLIANT BOOK!!!!!

Absolutely lovely. Hot as hell, light and fun. The best recipe. The erotica of the story is in the forefront, told from both sides, which makes it so much better. After the initial hesitation while the reader wonders about the consent part of the equivalent, it is smooth running. Which is pretty funny actually, as an afterthought, wondering about in which direction the book is gonna take, jail and bitter resentment or enjoyment. Happily the enjoyment part of the story is very high. Did listen to it in one settling, which means no irritation due to stupid characters or something else in the story. So hallelujah all around. Wonderful characters and storytelling, no dull moments and pretty good narration. I am only wondering if there was never a boring moment or irritation due to abundant erotica or if the story was that well written. My first book by those authors and I aim to find out. Thoroughly enjoyed the story.

So good

Having read Fifty Shades in it's heyday & being honestly a bit disappointed I was reluctant to read this but WOW, this was a good balance of girl power, a smouldering boss and imaginative sex scenes (although I did start to find these a little repetitive at the end - I was willing Bennett to do something different but still smoking).

The story was good, as with any love story it requires a make up and break up but I thought the reasoning behind the one in this book was a bit naff but still entertaining enough.

Overall, I loved the book and immediately downloaded Beautiful Bitch. I finished this in a day listening in my car, even sitting in the car park of my work for 20 minutes to get through the San Diego chapters.

I would love to see this made into a film.
