Beautiful Stranger
by Christina Lauren
Liked this one better than the first one, for sure! I think the writing came a little more into it's own - the dialogue between the main romance characters was more natural. I mean, still fake-ish romance novel stuff, but definitely smoother and less stilted. Also, I like that we got lots of cameos from Chloe and Bennett from the first one - it's a fun way to keep things tied together and to give some insight into how things are going for the old main characters, but still be able to read the books as standalones if that's what you want. Same as the first one, I like that we get both main character POVs (I like that WAY more than one-sided POV romance tellings). And I liked that there was an increase in the side character stories/girl talk/other relationships in this one. The "quirks" of these characters were also something that I have never seen before in a romance, exploring voyeurism, and I liked that it wasn't as run of the mill as normal. Still cheesy and low-brow, lots of smut, but definitely better (and much healthier, IMO - in fact, the man interest bordered on positive masculinity, as male leads in romance novels go) than the first.
