I think I will be continuing with the series just to see if it improves with time. Since Christina Lauren is one of my favorite romance authors, I was disappointed. Essentially, Beautiful Bastard read just like every other run of the mill romance novel. Even though I thought the romance was lackluster, the passion was there. Though the story was interesting, there were times when the relationship didn't seem well rounded, and because of that, I couldn't get behind the story as much. It's safe to say that Beautiful Bastard is definitely not my favorite of Christina Lauren's. Since we only saw them at work or at a hotel for work, I couldn't picture their relationship working outside of the workplace. Seeing Chloe and Bennett outside of a work environment would have added depth to their characters and their romance.
Personally, I would have liked to have another plot point that wasn't solely focused on the relationship or was integral to the romance. While there was an ongoing plot regarding Chloe's internship, it was very much tangled with the relationship situation, as Bennett is her boss. I started to think, "Aren't they tired?" or "Can we have more of a plot?" Unfortunately, the sex scenes basically overtook the book. Chloe and Bennett are rabid animals the whole time, and it started to take me out of the book. To my shock, Beautiful Bastard had twice as many sex scenes. I know, I 's a romance book, Genni, what did you expect? Well let me tell you, I was expecting the same amount I've read in Roomies, Josh and Hazel's Guide, etc. My main issue with Beautiful Bastard was all the sex.
