About this listen

An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.

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 two million reads on fan-fiction sites - Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for rerelease.

Loved the characters, the witty and spare writing, and the enviably hot sex. It’s a little bit of perfection that we all wish we had a piece of. I wish they would write more books like the Beautiful collection. They do sex very well, with passion and a big slice of humour.

Sharp, sassy and very sexy. You want to be them, be loved by them and have their babies!

Having read Fifty Shades in it's heyday & being honestly a bit disappointed I was reluctant to read this but WOW, this was a good balance of girl power, a smouldering boss and imaginative sex scenes (although I did start to find these a little repetitive at the end - I was willing Bennett to do something different but still smoking).

The story was good, as with any love story it requires a make up and break up but I thought the reasoning behind the one in this book was a bit naff but still entertaining enough.

Overall, I loved the book and immediately downloaded Beautiful Bitch. I finished this in a day listening in my car, even sitting in the car park of my work for 20 minutes to get through the San Diego chapters.

I would love to see this made into a film.

Beautiful Bastard!!!

Any additional comments?

Oh wow. This blew me away. From the first chapter to the very last chapter, I was hooked. Loved Bennett and Chloe's interactions. The sex scenes were hot hot hot. What a fantastic start to this series which I couldnt wait to get my teeth into.

Hot hot hot

I loved it, it flew in my hands and I wanted to know the end without the book never ending.

No YA thank god but real grown ups with magnet chemistry.

one thing could improve the audiobook: A MALE VOICE.

Two writers - twice the quality

I was so hooked on this book I had to get the audio version.. Honestly would prefer two actors doing the voices, but overall performance was good.

I've ready this numerous times and listened to it twice. I absolutely love this book and it beats fifty shades on every level! I read this way before fifty shades and I honestly believe that this should have broken through instead

my favourite book
