The seventh work in the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling series that started with the Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, and Beautiful Player novels. Featuring all the Beautiful characters...plus one tiny new addition to the group.

In Beautiful Stranger , finance whiz Sara Dillon met the irresistibly sexy Brit, Max Stella, at a New York City club. Through the series we’ve watched them learn to balance commitment with their less than private brand of playfulness. In Beautiful Beloved, Max and Sara take it to the next step. But the question is: Will they be able to find a balance between the wild sexcapades they aren’t ready to retire, and the demands of parenthood that come along with their new Beautiful bundle of joy? Parenthood: it’s not for the weak of heart.

I love Christina Lauren! But of course if you know me, you knew that already. To say that I was excited about Beautiful Secret is an understatement. I was more than excited! I could not wait to get my hands on this book. Christina Lauren never disappoint. They always manage to create hot guys and adorable and smart girls. How they do that is beyond me! I enjoyed this book a lot. Niall and Ruby are perfect together, they chemistry and passion made my heart skipped several beats. 

There are no words that I can say that would do justice to Niall Stella. He is beyond description. He is a businessman, he wears suits and he is British. What else do you need to know? He is sexy and hot as hell. Funny, quirky and passionate. Although I did not love him as much as I love Max Stella. Niall has only been with one woman in all of his life and that relationship with her somehow messed up his view in all relations. He is an over-thinker, he analysed to much the situations that he got himself into. At some point I understood his hesitation towards a new relationship but as the story progressed it just took to much time out of the story. 

Ruby is a breath of fresh air. She is funny and smart. She does not hide her huge crush on Niall. She was always trying to make Niall come out of his shell. Like I said before they are perfect together (once Niall got over his issues). What I love the most is that Ruby made her own decisions and took the time that she needed to grow, heal and move on. Out all of the girls from the Beautiful series, she is the one I like the most. 

I am pretty surprise and a little disappointed that I took that long to get into the first sex scene. I was hoping for more action. This couple is definitely not like the others. In my opinion the roles reversed a little with Ruby and Niall. Even though I had my issues with Niall that didn't take away from me enjoying the whole book. I loved the sex scenes when I got to them. I love that I had so many LOLs moment during this book. Christina Lauren is my auto-buy author! I recommend this book to everyone! Definitely something different from all the other novellas. One more thing! You are in for a big surprise! Go get your copy now.
