Beautiful Stranger (The Beautiful, #2)

by Christina Lauren

When Ryan Media Group opens a new office in New York, numbers whiz Sara Dillon happily accepts the position of Director of Finance. On her first weekend in her new town, Sara has wild - and very public - sex with a gorgeous stranger on a balcony overlooking Chloe Mills' raucous engagement party.

Sara assumes the tryst was a one-time thing, but when her mysterious lover sends her the steamy phone video he took of their encounter, she realizes he might have unearthed a side of her she'd never let herself explore. Unfortunately, an affair with Max Stella, Wall Street's newly-imported golden boy, could be very, very bad for her new career.

Max has a legendary appetite for casual sex, but the kindred kink he finds in Sara is hard to brush off. Soon the formerly-irresistible investment banker finds himself pursuing a woman who seems to want very little to do with him outside of their playful and creative exhibitionism. They have only three rules: keep it casual, keep it private, and no faces. That is until Max convinces Sara to come with him to a club that opens a new world for them, and their sex-only relationship grows decidedly more intimate.

My gosh, I absolutely loved this!

When I started this series, everyone kept telling me that the first book was good and that the series got even better. I'd have to agree with that wholeheartedly! Simply put, I adored Max and Sara. I've taken every little bit of free time I've had between work, snow days, sick kids and my own sickness to read this one whenever I could. Even though Max had a playboy reputation, he wasn't a jerk. He was affectionate and sexy as hell!

I'm really happy I chose to read this book even though I wasn't the biggest fan of Beautiful Bastard, because this one was a really good surprise.
Beautiful Stranger tells the story of Sara and Max.

Sara had just came out of a bad relationship, one that pretty much made her doubt the male species and their ability to keep it in their pants. So, she's not looking for a relationship. In fact, she wants to belong to herself and herself only, at least for a little while. She's been some one else's - someone who didn't even love her - for too long already.

So, she's never planned to let Max, the gorgeous Brit she meets at a club, enter her life and her heart. Max is charming, kind. He's so in-tuned to her that he knows what she wants and likes when she herself doesn't even know what it is. And he's the one to fall hard and fast for her, and to want everything...
