One-night stands are supposed to be with someone convenient, or wickedly persuasive, or regrettable. They aren’t supposed to be with someone like him.

But after a crazy Vegas weekend celebrating her college graduation—and terrified of the future path she knows is a cop-out—Mia Holland makes the wildest decision of her life: follow Ansel Guillaume—her sweet, filthy fling—to France for the summer and just…play.

When feelings begin to develop behind the provocative roles they take on, and their temporary masquerade adventures begin to feel real, Mia will have to decide if she belongs in the life she left because it was all wrong, or in the strange new one that seems worlds away.

If I had to pick a word to describe this book, that word would be: extraordinary! It was nothing but perfect. I loved it from beginning to end, and I am proud to say that devoured it and savored every moment of this book. Christina Lauren have managed to create another wonderful story, full of amazing characters and a story line to die for. I will probably read this book a few more times, because I can't get enough of Ansel and all of his hotness. After the Beautiful Bastard series, I had a book hangover for weeks. I was afraid that I would not find another series to fall in love with but Sweet Filthy Boy won my heart. This story is definitely the icing on the cake.

There is so much to love about this story, the main characters, Mia and Ansel. The secondary characters, Harlow, Lola, Finn, Oliver and the mysterious Perry. The plot, and the setting, Las Vegas and Paris! Come on, it doesn't get any better than that! I swooned, laughed and cried with Mia and Ansel’s story. They are perfect for each other. I loved Mia, loved her passion for dancing and I love that she is a shy girl. She is genuine and very honest.

Mamma Mia (pun intended, HA!)! Ansel is one piece of sexy man. He is the epitome of sexiness, he is french and did I mentioned that he has dimples? Oh yes, as if he needs any other weapon against the female race. He was sent to us by the Christina Lauren gods to put to shame every other men on the face of the Earth. He is so handsome it hurts and the way he talks, Jesus! But wait, he can make your heart melt as fast as he can make your panties drop! All I thought while reading this book was: talk dirty to me baby (LOL). The chemistry between him and Mia is extremely hot. Together they can set a forest on fire. I envy Mia but a girl can only wish.

Like in their Beautiful Bastard series, this book is full of sex scenes, lots and lots of it! I didn't think it was possible to beat the ones in their other books but yes, it is possible. This book will have you fanning yourself and wishing you could trade places with Mia. Needless to say that I absolutely loved it, from the interesting plot line and the characters to the setting, Christina and Lauren did a magnificent job. They are an auto-buy author for me, they can write a food menu and I will buy it (better if it comes with a hot waiter). Get your copy, NOW!
