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.
Student/teacher storylines can either way for me, but Vi Keeland gave us a spectacular story of second chances that absolutely blew me away.
There was so much to love about Rachel and Caine. The way she told him off when they met at the bar she works at. How she broke his lateness rule after discovering she’s his TA for the semester. The chemistry and connection they had. It was perfectly imperfect and made it hard not to believe that sometimes you have to believe there’s a reason you go through what you do.
This couple was a great example of balance in a relationship. Despite a somewhat rocky start, Caine and Rachel balanced each other. Despite Caine being Rachel’s advisor at school, they gave each other a support structure that was exactly what they needed. Each became more important than the family they supported each other in. It was amazing to follow and made you believe this kind of relationship was out there for everyone.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I haven’t found a Vi Keeland book that I haven’t loved. She’s a master at storytelling and creating characters that you are hard not to love. Caine is professor you’re going to want to meet!
