About this listen

In the third book in the Beautiful series by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words, an agreement between a venture capitalist and a bookish woman quickly becomes a very NSFW version of My Fair Lady.

When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she’s determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?

Will takes risks for a living, but he’s skeptical about this challenge of Hanna’s…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed, and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can’t forget. Now that Hanna’s discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it’s up to Will to prove he’s the only man she’ll ever need.

What did you like most about Beautiful Player?

The writing was much more polished that the previous two books. Will was a great character, he was the perfect blend of charming and cocky.
I liked Hanna a lot, her dialogue was fantastic. She pretty much said what ever was on her mind.
The story flowed at such a great pace. There was no run on sentences and everything was described just right, i hate when authors over describe or stay on one topic for far too long.

There were just enough sex scenes to make this a steamy New Adult read

It was nice to see all the characters from the series in this book. Max was quite funny.

What other book might you compare Beautiful Player to, and why?

Hothouse flower by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie - Its a similar situation where a slightly older friend has a connection to his best friends younger sister. The dialogue is very good in Hothouse flowers too.

What does Grace Grant and Sebastian York bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narrators bring the story to life and i could imagine it as a movie.
I'm not sure if Sebastian York's voice was right for charming handsome Will's character.
Grace Grant sounded just right.

Any additional comments?

In my opinion this is the best book in the series and i think people will be surprised by how much the authors have matured as writers. It is well written and engaging.

Best book in the 'Beautiful bastard' series

This is my favourite of the Beautiful series as Will and Hannah are my favourite couple. The story makes me laugh in the humourous parts. Grace and Sebastian have done some excellent work here as usual. I love that the chapters are written from either Will or Hannah's perspective, although I would prefer it if these types of narration were recorded with the men speaking all the male character's dialogue and the women speaking all the female character's dialogue.
I understand a previous comment which described a displeasure of the English accents portrayed here, I dont hate them but do prefer Jonathan Cole's version of Max's accent from earlier and later books in any case.

Best of the series

Absolutely love this series so far. This is the third book in the series, and again doesn't disappoint. Will and Hanna have fantastic chemistry. As per previous books, beautifully written. Love that we are kept informed also with regards to the characters in the previous books.

Super sexy

Loved Will and Hannah. Her nerdiness and his hot player status made for the perfect swoony romance.
