In BEAUTIFUL BASTARD two coworkers are constantly at each other's throats. Bennett Ryan and Chloe Mills have what you might call a love/hate relationship. When I first heard of this series, I thought no this series doesn't look that good. Boy did it prove me wrong. I absolutely loved this book. The banter between the two characters is hilarious but also sweet and romantic.

Chloe Mills has been working for Ryan Media for about 6 years as Mr. Ryan's intern and do they not get along at all. He would be absolutely mean to her and say very rude things to her but she would just give it right back to him. Than after a while there banter turns into foreplay and they became very attracted to one another. He would collect her ripped underwear and hide it in his desk draw Bennett Ryan is so romantic, and to me the perfect man. Their relationship has some very big ups and downs but what relationship doesn't. Bennett Ryan is a very additive guy any women fall for him. BEAUTIFUL BASTARD is wonderful and full of so many great things. I will be recommending it to everyone.

BEAUTIFUL BASTARD had everything I wanted and more, this book just consumed me from there very beginning and I really enjoyed the ride. I'm so glad I stumbled across this wonderful book and wonderful author and can't wait to read more of this series.

SUMMARY

An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling.

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.
