About this ebook

The scorching sequel to Beautiful Bastard!

Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion 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 that 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.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I really liked Sara and Max from the start. Sara, a friend of Chloe, who moves to New York after a horrible break up meets Max at the club her first couple of days in town. Max is total swoon worthy. Sexy, Confident, British and the type of guy that could get any girl he wants. After a little back and forth they come up with an agreement that is pretty hot. The sex isn't over the top but the fact that it involves a lot of picture taking and public sex makes it very interesting. BS was a good type of steamy but the story, their backgrounds and them just getting to know each other outside of sex made it that much better. I felt bad for Sara and her background. For all that she'd gone through I understood why she felt and did some of the things that she did. I liked how patient Max was. His honesty made him so trustworthy despite his documented playboy ways. Together they fit and it was perfect. I liked how Bennett and Chloe were mixed in some as well. I'm very curious as to who the next story is going to be about, I'm sure it will be just as awesome.

I am sick and tired of reading stupid comments talking crap about this book s .I've read Twilight I love Twilight you never going to compare a book like this to Twilight really.. I think this is more real more personal more intimate. that's why it's called fan fiction . you don't like these kinds of books why take your time to write a comment about it ....... X

Sexy Sexy Sexy this is my 3rd time reading this book. I loved Sara's gay friend George bc he is funny & sarcastic. Understanding what Sara had gone thru from her previous relationship that made her not start a new intimate relationship. but this beautiful Brit stranger has shown her the "new world" of shaggin. Then, of course, it did take them to the new level of not just shaggin; it was about trust.
