About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you loved Fifty Shades & Bared to you, then this book is definitely for you.
I am not sure why a cocky, selfish personality is so appealing.... But it is. I fell in love with Mr. Ryan the moment I opened the book. The way he carried himself and took control of every situation made him my new Book Boyfriend !
Chloe was an intern at Mr. Ryan's office and dealt with his bossy, rude attitude everyday. They could not stand each other. Out of the blue though, their relationship takes a turn and they find themselves in a very sexual situation. Panties are torn and lines are crossed.
Throughout this book I found myself compelled and consumed by the character's relationship. I loved their sexcapades and the love/hate relationship they shared. The storyline had witty parts and the scenes were fun!
I highly recommend this book!!! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun. Super fun!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the twist, turns, and laugh out loud moments. I think every can relate to the boss and employee scenario. What a great read. I'm looking forward to reading more about Chloe and Bennett.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5absolutely loved this book! granted most of this book was based on sex scenes but the story line along with those scenes were amazing!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book caught me by surprise, I fucking loved it and finished it in a day! It keeps you on your toes and I wish I had more to read!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved the book. Fun, witty, sexy. Great characters and a great storyline. I recommend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved the banter, the steam, and how these 2 changed bits by bits. I'll sure go on reading about them, as I miss them already!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5the intense chemistry between Chloe and Ben made the book entertaining, quick and just right.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good book, a lil too much on the sex scenes but still good
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5the dynamic was much different than others but wish it had a bit more of a plot! quick read and kept my attention!!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The sex is hot yet the flow of the characters are kinda weird...for me.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I usually love these authors, but this was just terrible. If you just want to read about sex, this is the book for you, because that's really all there is. If you actually care about a character or a story, look elsewhere. Basically, if you're usually a Christina Lauren fan, this is nothing like their other books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is really well written, i felt the emotions the author want the readers to feel. This is my first time reading an erotica and it's a great experience. The male lead really is a bastard, a BEAUTIFUL bastard, every snusnu scene kept me in my toes.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5everything about it was awful!!!!! I hated everything in it!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The books are totally deserving. I loved them, and I think they are must read. If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on Novel Star, just submit your story to hardy@novelstar.top or joye@novelstar.top
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I first read this as a fanfiction and I honestly didn't think I would Enjoy it as characters other than what I read it as, but I really enjoyed it and definitely continuing on with the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great read. I had a love hate with the way they first got together. I know it's all about fantasy, however it's hard for me to not think how horribly wrong it was. I guess that's my inner self screaming when I read stuff like that. It was definitely a pretty steamy book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm just not sure about this book. Halfway threw i would have given it 2.5 stars. It just didn't have a lot of story behind it. It was all lust and sex and for me that's just not a book. For the 1st half (not an exaggeration) it was all yelling, lust, sex and walking away. Over and over and over. To be perfectly honest i started skipping sex scenes bc I was just over it. It wasn't until they went to CA that there was any real emotion and connection with the characters. That's why it got 3 stars. It became 2 people rather then a port scene. There was even a little depth and sadness with the characters near the end. It was not however enough for me to read the next book in this series. I loved one of this authors other books so I was sorely disappointed with how unconnected I felt with these characters.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I don't know how to describe this... but I love how the story going.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Seriously love this book! I have read it three times in 4 months, along with all of the other books in the series that relate to Bennet and Chloe and a few of the others. Definately encourage everybody to read this story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing. Couldn't put it down till I finished reading. Excellent
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5it was a good fast read, kept me glued and continued to think about them after the book was done. That's what i love in a book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was so good that I wanted more at the end. After spending an entire day with these two, I kinda wanted a glimpse into their everyday after sorting it out. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankful for the review that recommended it. 5 stars all the way.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I really thought I would have liked this book more than I did. It didn't feel original enough for me to fall in love with it. The entire time I was reading, it felt like the book was a combo of Fifty Shades of Grey and Two Weeks Notice (Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant movie).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mr Ryan is indeed a beautiful ____!! Chloe a lil overpowering. Nice read, quite steaming!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Soooo sexy and funny!!! I love the chemistry!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5love it
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could not put it down, it has it all.
