Beautiful Beginning

Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

The final book in the Beautiful Bastard series takes us down the aisle for Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan's wedding. As Chloe is stressed with all the last minute details of the wedding, running away to elope is sounding more appealing as the days get closer. Bennett is so worried that he is going to be distracted by Chloe's body that he makes a no sex until you are my wife rule five days before they are to be married.

As their crazy families start arriving for the big day from all corners of the map, it seems to only add to the couples crazy stress levels. Now the no sex rule seems to be making things worse and continually backfiring on Bennett. As the time seems to pass at a snails pace for Bennett and Chloe, their sexual frustration mounts and finally explodes at the rehearsal dinner, leaving guests scattering.

I really love BEAUTIFUL BEGINNING. This is the first book I read in the Beautiful Bastard series by Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. There are some parts of this story that I was a bit lost on, so I do recommend reading the others before this one.

Bennett and Chloe are hilarious, and hard-headed. Their banter even funnier, and of course their attraction to each other is explosive! Its an office affair turned true love in a not so ordinary way. BEAUTIFUL BEGINNING and the Beautiful Bastard novels are a series that I will certainly go back and read over and over again.

SUMMARY

One beautiful bastard of a groom. The most beautiful bitch of a bride. A panty-ripping office hook-up turned true love everlasting.

Wedding bells can’t chime soon enough for Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan. Chloe, exasperated and stressed by all the last-minute to-dos, is on the verge of saying “I do” to eloping. For his part, Bennett’s so worried about being distracted by Chloe’s body that he makes a no-sex-until-the-wedding-night rule that only seems to be making things worse by continually backfiring on him. As their crazy families descend for the big day- only a few of them actually trying to be helpful- the fiery lovers are about to test whether the couple that argues together can keep it together long enough to exchange rings, and not just heated words.
