Book Review - Beautiful Stranger - Christina Lauren

Title:  Beautiful Stranger

Author: Christina Lauren

Review:  Wow what can I say about this book….well if you like sex then this is the book for you…lots and lots of it in many, many places.  As I was reading it took a bit of work to find the plot…it was mixed in with so much sex that I was not sure I actually understood what the book was about until after the half-way point and then the plot came clear to me.

This is not what I would call a romance.  With a romance there is a bit of romancing going on before the actual sex…in this book it is slam bam thank you ma’am or slam bam thank you man…it is an equal opportunity book, everyone gets off and everyone gets thanked in the process.  This is more an the erotica side of romance and so beware.  For some of you beware is a call to read (so go for it!), for others it is a book to pass on.

The plot was thin in my opinion, but I don’t think the plot is why people read this type of book anyway.  So that said I guess it is up to you whether to read this book or not, do you like books heavy in sex and light on content?  Then this is the book for you…if not then skip it.  I do love the fantasy aspect of these two authors…always rich and always super hot…if I had a fantasy character I guess that would be it too.  Why not dream big…it all areas…if you know what I mean....wink wink!!!

Quick Review: I really need to let you decide for yourself

Why I Read It:  Sent by the publisher for review.

Synopsis:  A charming British Playboy. A girl determined to finally live. And a secret liaison revealed in all too vivid color. Book two in the NYT Bestselling series.

Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon's moved to New York City and is looking for excitement without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night's fun. But the manner--and speed--with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger.

The whole city knows Max Stella loves women, not that he's ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it's not until Sara--and the wild photos she lets him take of her--that he starts wondering if there's someone for him outside of the bedroom.

Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

 

Author Biography:  Christina & Lauren have been writing all kinds of stories together since 2009. This is not the first erotic romance they’ve ever written . . . but it is the first one under this name. Separated by the pesky state of Nevada, these co-author besties talk several times a day, agree that Ruby Pumps is the best nail polish color ever, and would, if given the choice, spend all day staring at the ocean from the San Clemente pier.
