A COMBATIVE RELATIONSHIP. A RED-HOT ATTRACTION. AND NO TIME TO BE ALONE TOGETHER.
Just when Chloe’s career starts to take off, Bennett wishes it would all slow down long enough to spend a wild night alone with his intern-cum-girlfriend. Preferably one in which he can show her he’s still the boss.
After her continued refusals to take time off with him, Bennett can finally no longer take no for an answer. And so the couple find themselves with two plane tickets, one French villa, and a surprising conversation that, predictably, leaves them wrestling under the covers.
Picking up where Beautiful Bastard left off, Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan continue their fiery love-hate relationship . . . and take it to the next level.

This was a fun, short story about Bennett and Chloe. Now that they are back together they can never seem to actually have free time together. Since Ryan Media Group is opening a new office in New York, Bennett has been very busy. Chloe and him will be moving in a few weeks there and he is cranky because he is never seeing her.
He decided enough is enough and plans a 3 week trip for them to France. They will be staying at his friend Max's villa. After some comical things that happen, they finally end up together in France.
It was a perfect, sweet ending.

Picks up where BB left off. Everything about Chloe and Bennett is as unconventional as can be and I Iove that about them. This novella mostly reflects on the things that happen between them that weren't mentioned in the first book, mostly Bennett reminiscing about his experiences with his lady love. Still plenty of fighting and plenty of raunchy lovemaking between the two.

After all the hoopla I had heard/read about Beautiful Bastard, I thought I'd give it a try. When I finished reading that one, I HAD to buy every other book this duo was planning to publish.
This is a short story, so be warned. Also, the one thing that I didn't particularly like, was that the events happen between BB and Beautiful Stranger. Odd how this was published after, but whatever. The story itself is fun and sexy. Definitely worth the read.

A hot novella that fans will not want to miss!
Chloe and Bennett are having a hard time getting time alone and when they do it always seems to be interrupted. Some of you know that I didn't like Beautiful Bastard very much, but I figured why not read the next one? It's short so I gave it a shot. And I've decided I'm going to finish the series. I'm intrigued at Sara's part of the story and figured out the next book is her's!
Bennett calls in a favor from a friend after to many interruptions and makes arrangements for him and Chloe to go to a French villa. Then they discover they have to go separately. And Chloe's flight is canceled. I mean, after reading this book, I think they have some serious bad luck!
Overall, I enjoyed the novella and enjoyed the humor in it.
Rating: 5.9/10
Parental Rating: 17+
Enjoyed reading. Much better than the sequel which is mainly just a recap of this book.

Very impressive to have this short follow-up /epilogue. After finishing <i>Beautiful Bastard</i> I wanted more of a peak into Bennett and Chloe's future. This satisfied my curiosity completely.
