Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night’s fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger.

The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he’s ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it’s not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if there’s someone for him outside of the bedroom.

Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

HOOOOTTTTTT!!!  Yes, I can use just that word to describe this book.   Christina and Lauren are freakin geniuses! How do those two come up with such swoon worthy men?  And speaking of swoon worthy men, lets talk about Max Stella.  He is a "hella" of a sexy man.  You saw that?  Hella, Stella? Ok, yeah lame. LOL  But seriously, he is one hot and sexy man and HE'S BRITISH!!  *Le sigh* Max is known as sexy playboy and for dating New York's top elite females.  He has it all he ever wanted.  

If you read Beautiful Bastard, you know about Chole.  Sara is Chole's best friend from Chicago who has decided to leave her old life behind and start a new one in the Big Apple.  She left her asshole ex fiance behind because he couldn't keep his pants on when another woman was in the same room as him.  I really hate that guy. 

Then one night Sara and Max meet at a local club.  Sara has always been a good girl.  She's never taken any risks and since she is starting a new life, she is in the mood for some fun.  So what does my girl Sara do?  She has a one night stand with Max.  In the club. In a corner in front of everyone!  Talk about kinky!  This whole book is kinky.  Sarah then runs into Max again and can't help but to go against her one night stand agreement and continue on having sex with Max, but not as a couple.  Just two people having fun.  And fun they have.  Thanks do Sara's little club incident, she has discovered that she loves the thrill of having sex at a public place and the rush of being caught.  Max of course, is more then happy to fulfill her kinky fantasies.  The only problem is that soon Sara starts to realize that she is starting to have feelings for Max and her idea of just keeping their "relationship" as "booty partners", isn't going to work out. 

Why it's taken me so long to read Beautiful Secret, is beyond me.  Again, I want to kick myself for not reading it sooner.  The next book in the series is Beautiful Player and I am going to be sneaking that one in real soon.  I just can't get enough of Christina and Lauren's writing!
