Christina and Lauren really know how to grab your attention and hold it. When I read Beautiful Bastard I found it highly addicting and was looking forward to getting my hands on book two. I went out and bought my copy of Beautiful Stranger and it was not disappointing. Just as addicting as the first and unlike Beautiful Bastard not as repetitive. Although, Sara and Max like to have sex everywhere besides their actual bedrooms they mix it up and end up in places I didn’t see coming.

Just like with Beautiful Bastard it was easy to find these characters lovable. Sara was all ready to settle down before she finally realized her fiance was a jackass. She isn’t falling for that crap anymore and just wants to have fun, not strings, no more commitment. She has built up walls and isn’t very trusting anymore. She doesn’t want to fall for anyone but she can’t get enough of Max and the person she is with him. She gets a thrill out of what they do. Plus it doesn’t hurt that Max is British…Sexy!…I meant sexy. Swoon. I love me some sexy British men.

Max was the opposite. Like the summary says he loved women. He wasn’t looking to be with just one for the rest of his life. None of them had caught his attention for that long. After meeting Sara though he is the one pushing for more in this relationship. Where Sara just wants fun Max might just be wanting much more. From their first encounter Max is smitten. With a first meeting like that what guy wouldn’t be swept of his feet ;) Then the places and pictures. No way Sara is getting rid of him. Of course, in any relationship though problems are going to arise. Things won’t stay sexy and perfect forever. Go pick it up and see what I mean. It’s a quick read but steamy, fun, and gives you a little relationship drama. Next please!
