An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Discover the story that garnered more than two million reads online.
Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.
Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.
As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other.
Originally only available online as The Office by tby789—and garnering over 2 million reads on fanfiction sites—Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for re-release.

Well, where do I start? Beautiful Bastard is a fun, extremely Hot story... with too strong an emphasize on the physical, for my taste.
Every other page in Beautiful Bastard included some sexual scene. And that is not an exaggeration. I literally mean every other page, or at least every-time the two met. Take out the sexual scenes and you're left with approximately 20% of just plain story.
But don't get me wrong, those were extremely hot scenes...
BUT, that was all there was to Bennett and Chloe, and that bothers me. I don't like books where everything there is between the couple seems to be just physical attraction. It's too shallow for my liking.
I also don't like books where said physical attractions drive them so insane, that, even though they hate each other and are workaholics, they stop being able to think properly about other things, such as their job. So, I wish there would have been less emphasize, and less sex in general, in this book.
