Sara has finally come to her senses about her two-timing boyfriend and she’s changing everything about her life, starting with taking up this new job with Ryan Media. With two minds working together, couldn’t the authors come up with something better than this extreme reaction of Sara’s? The Story What an amazing jerk Andy was…throwing her clothes out the door of her own house! Where does someone get that kind of arrogance…’cause I could sure use a bit…!ĭamn it, the one stupid note in this story is when Max gets careless and his carryon gets stolen. LOL, Max certainly creates some exciting scenarios for their meet-ups. …I think it’s the kink that speeds it up for both. No, I’m not saying this is a case of insta-love it’s more a case of oh-my-god love that develops: slowly for Sara because she’s fighting it, putting all kinds of limitations on it, and rather quickly for Max because, I think, he’s so surprised and excited to meet someone as fascinating as Sara. It just happens that we readers also happen to catch a glimpse into their life at that time. Only, writers also create back stories for their characters, so these serendipitous moments are simply a part of a person’s (the character’s) ongoing life. The serendipity of two people happening to meet. Those insta-love moments that make no sense, that occur without reason. In some cases, their complaints are fair. Readers complain often about insta-love and how convenient it is for certain events to occur in a story.

Not often, but it can happen, so I can’t complain.

Part of me thinks “oh how convenient that these two found each other, shared the same kinks”, but then that’s how it can work in real life. And she continues this out-the-door routine in the deal she makes with Max. It’s such a switch from the usual in which the man does the slam-bang-thank you before he heads out the door, LOL. I love that Sara had the guts to step outside her comfort zone and then to leave Max hanging. It’s another fun story from Lauren, although it’s not as dominating as Beautiful Bastard, 1. The couple focus is on Sara Dillon and Max Stella, and the series has moved to New York City. Second in the Beautiful Bastard erotic romance series. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Player, Sweet Filthy Boy, Dating You / Hating You
