Beautiful Bastard #4.5
Beautiful Boss
La Beautiful série continue,avec deux nouveaux titres qui paraissent simultanément en France et aux États- Unis. Un roman court: Beautiful Boss (mars 2016) et un roman long qui paraitra en octobre 2016.
Dans cette " novella ", Will Sumner et Hanna Bergstrom (les personnages de Beautiful Player) découvrent que le mariage et l'amour éternel ne sont qu'un début. Un homme à femmes dompté. Un rat de laboratoires comblé. Et une décision cruciale à prendre.
Quand Will est tombé amoureux d'Hanna, son sens de l'humour et son ambition, le faisaient craquer sans parler de sa timidité de novice en matière de sexe et son désir de tout apprendre de lui.
Mais quand les offres de travail se présentent à elle –; et elles arrivent en masse –;, Hanna n'arrive pas à savoir ce qu'elle veut vraiment, où ils devraient vivre, et jusqu'à quel point elle doit impliquer Will dans sa décision.
Les étincelles au lit ne sont qu'un versant d'une relation... bien s'entendre au quotidien en est un autre.

"There is no way to mess this up. Even if we didn't get married tomorrow, you're the love of my life. I'm with you until we both die, at the same time, when I am one hundred and you are ninety-three."
Ever since I heard that Will and Hanna were getting another book, I've been dying to get my hands on it. Will is my absolute favorite guy from this series. I love that he's a brilliant scientist, a bit of a nerd, but 100% sex God!!
Will and Hanna are starting the next chapter of their lives together. They're getting married and where they will call home is up in the air. Hanna has several job offers lined up with universities all over the country. Will is being the selfless and supportive husband by agreeing to move to wherever she ends up landing a job at. But as the time draws near to when she has to make a decision, Will realizes that he doesn't want to move far away from his friends and the East coast. He also doesn't want her to take a job that's going to hog up all of her time, leaving very little to spend with him.
The one thing that stays constant is their insatiable desire for each other. Will and Hanna still have naughty rough sex as often as they can. This story will have you hot and bothered in the most delicious way!
As with all the other books, the whole gang is back and there is one memorable scene with Will and George that will have you laughing your asses off. For those of you who love Will as much as I do, you will not be disappointed. He's still quite the charmer and will have you swooning and panting throughout this story. I think that I would have loved this one more if it had been a full-length novel because I'm greedy and I wanted more time with Mr. Will Sumner!!!

3.5 - 4 ★'s
I was looking forward to reading more about Will and Hanna. I really enjoyed the beginning and when they got married but after that things became a little tedious.
Hanna is interviewing for a lot of different universities and is always on the go. While the homecomings were certainly nice to read there was a lot of non-communication between the two of them and that was a bit frustrating. I was happy that Will forced the issue and things worked out.
If you enjoy the series, you don't want to miss this one especially the truth or dare scene. Poor George! ;)
And we get to the last book, Beautiful...coming out October 4th! Looks like it's going to be about Jensen and...Pippa but I'm sure we're going to get a wrap up about everyone! Can't wait!
Favorite quote:
♥ "I would follow you anywhere."

"My boobs look enormous in my wedding dress."
I groaned, throwing an arm over my face. "Hanna. Are you trying to kill me?"

Anyone who knows me knows of my all consuming obsession with Will Sumner. So there really is no way I will be able to form complete sentences or even form coherent thoughts while trying to write a review for this amazing novella.
Because...Will.
Will getting married.
Will AS A HUSBAND.
So I'll just try and demonstrate the reactions that occurred while reading below:
"There is no way to mess this up," I said, right against her mouth. "Even if we didn't get married tomorrow, you're the love of my life. I'm with you until we both die, at the same time, when I am one hundred and you are ninety three."
"I'm not thinking. Holy fuck, Plum, just get on my dick."
"She was going to be my wife. I would get to introduce her that way.
This is my wife.
I couldn't stop rolling the word around in my head. Wife. It felt good. It felt substantial. It made me want to climb over her, say it over and over again into her ear, tattooing it in her thoughts.
You're my wife, Plum."
Will must have seen the question in my eyes because he swallowed and took a shaky breath. "Make it hurt," he said.
"You want this?" he asked, still just where I needed him, just the head slipping inside before pulling out again. "Want me to play, or just fuck you?"
Needless to say, I enjoyed this SO MUCH and wish this series would never come to an end. Will and Hanna will forever be one of my favorite book couples. I don't even know how many times I have re-read Beautiful Player at this point, and just loved getting more of these two.
Well mostly more of Will. Sorry Hanna.

4.5 Bossy Stars!
This novella is everything!
Will and Hannah are now preparing for their wedding and Hannah realizes that things are about to change big time. Apart from becoming a married woman, she's also pressured that her new job will have to force her and Will to move to another place.
I loved every bit of this novella. Will and Hannah just didn't stop being sweet! The way they remain so dedicated to each other despite some mundane issues in their career and profession is something that makes me smile. What happened here are lots and lots of fun especially their bonding time with their friends. I have a lot of favorites, too. OMG, especially that liplock scene between Will and George. LMAO!
This was just a short read but it didn't stop me from enjoying it. Will and Hannah are relationship goals and this group of friends is friendship goals!

Will and Hanna are my favorite Christina Lauren couple to date, so this novella was such a fantastic surprise and treat. The novella begins on the eve of their wedding and they are trying to uphold the typical tradition of not seeing the bride before the groom. This is Will and Hanna, so I feel like I don’t even have to tell you how that obviously won’t work out.
I loved how the novella started off on a high before going into any drama or issues. Don’t get me wrong this is a novella so there is nothing over the top, just adjustments and growing pains. Hanna has always been dedicated to her studies and now her hard work is paying off, multiple schools are looking to hire her. So in the midst of their wedding plans, honeymoon and newlywed stage Hanna is traveling for interviews. With multiple offers, they have to decide where to go.
Beautiful Boss just reminds why I absolutely love Will. I swear this guy is so freaking fantastic. I love his devotion to Hanna and his willingness to sacrifice whatever is necessary for her happiness. I also love how this goes both ways, Hanna is always thinking of them as one and what’s best for them.
This novella is perfection, it was everything I could possibly want. It’s super sweet, smoking hot, and laugh out loud funny. Mostly it reminded me why Hanna and Will are prefect for each other and how much I just adore them. I seriously want to go back and read their story, because reading about them never gets old. I think fans of the series will really enjoy this one, definitely recommend!

FINALLY we get a novella for Will and Hanna!! I think most of you know already how much I love everything by Christina Lauren. So many books later and Will Sumner is still my main leading man! I can't get enough of him! And him and Hanna together are flippin adorable!!
Beautiful Boss follows Will and Hanna's wedding day, their honeymoon, and then their early transition into married life as Hanna tries to figure out where her dream job lies. There's a little conflict yes, but never fear, everything turns out perfectly. It's funny, sexy, charming, and an all around good time. I loved seeing the entire gang back together again with a little bit of Hanna's brother, Jensen, thrown in there. Maybe we'll be seeing more of him??? I sure wouldn't mind!
"This beautiful boss across the table from me was about to take over the whole goddamn state."
Beautiful Boss is a great addition to the Beautiful series any Christina Lauren fan will be happy with it.

Last year when I was at the Romantic Times convention, I found out that Christina Lauren were writing a novella featuring my absolute FAVORITE couple from the Beautiful Bastard series, Will and Hanna. Even though the novellas in this series have been underwhelming, I couldn't resist the little carrot dangled in front of me.
We see a ridiculously happy Will and Hanna, newly married at the beginning of their forever. Now that Hanna is done with her fellowship, the job offers are rolling in from all over the country. But frustrations arise when Hanna doesn't include Will in the decision process.
Beautiful Boss wasn't the same sweeping story that we got in Beautiful Player. As I expected, the conflict was contrived. There really wasn't a lot to the story. Hanna stupidly leaves Will out of the decision-making process about where they should move. This was frustrating to me as the reader and just seemed like the authors wanted to write a Will and Hanna story but didn't really have any viable material to write about.
My favorite part of the book was the impromptu wedding celebration thrown by the whole Beautiful Bastard gang. I loved seeing them all together, especially Max and Sara. It was a quick read/listen, so if you've read the other books in the series give this one a try.
Audiobook Comments:
This book was narrated by the famous duo, Sebastian York and Grace Grant. As always, this narrator combo is perfect.

BEAUTIFUL BOSS is one of my Most Anticipated Reads of 2016 !!

3,75 STARS!!!
We're still Will and Hanna. We're still us.
The gang is back!
The book follows Will & Hanna's wedding, their honeymoon and Hanna's attempts to find a perfect job. I was little annoyed with Hanna. But that is fine, I think I'll forgive her this time. I only wish there were more scenes with Max.
Yesterday I found out there is going to be a new BB book. I hope it will be George's, so that he finally find his knight in shining armor. MM book by Christina Lauren. That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

She's amazing! If I were lesbian, I'd be in love with her too. FOR REAL.
I understand her. I do the same thing when I'm nervous. I don't tell anyone. People think I'm super pro but no, I'm shaking inside. And Will want her to share her feelings! R U even real? Obviously not. If I only found a man so handsome, intelligent and HOT.
Damn you real people ¬¬ (?
I love this couple, thank you Christina Lauren, never stop writing about them please :)

Awesome to catch up with Will and Hanna but it was too short.
Will and Hanna are one of the most loved couples in the bastard series and I was anxious and excited that we get more of their story! We get to see them right before their wedding and navigate their new life as a married couple.
Christina and Lauren's humor was present. There were some hilarious moments. Will in all his sexiness is still accounted for. I love him!!! It's a common complaint - it's too damn short and I want more.

Will Sumner and Hanna Bergstrom are my favorite characters / pair in The Beautiful series. I really like these two sexy nerds and their chemistry is just so good. Reading this novella, damn I miss the these two very much. It's a good short story filled with sexy moments and some little drama.
WILL & ZIGGY FTW!

March 3, 2016PRE_RELEASE REVIEW!!
POST-RELEASE REVIEW:
So we FINALLYYYY get a novella for Will and Hanna!!! You guys know by now that I am in love with Christina Lauren...and Will is my number one book boyfriend….like ever….like of all time guys. So getting more of him and Hanna….I mean I’ll take it in ANY FORM. Naturally, getting this novella was like my Birthday and Christmas coming early on top of a payday, and as promised...I ATE THIS BOOK. (For dinner not breakfast...and...admittedly this thing was only 144 pages...OF PURE AMAZINGNESS.)
It is short and sweet with the right amount of steam and real conflict. And by real I mean it's not just a puffy-fluff piece...it has SUBSTANCE. They are newlyweds and now trying to navigate the shaking waters of starting a life together. Though there is some tension and miscommunication along the way…We see Hanna being a little unintentionally selfish in her attempts to remain calm and organized and rational in her thought process. She can be very clinical....while Will seems to fall more on the emotional passionate side...
Have no fear beauties, everything is obviously resolved in the end. I LIKED feeling annoyed with them too....it was refreshing. They have such a devoted and intense love...it's almost TOO PERFECT.
We see a little more of Jensen (Hanna’s brother) no doubt to get us familiar for the next novel in the Beautiful series….
NOW….the absolute BEST PART of the ENTIRE THING is when the whole gang gets together for tequila shots and TRUTH OR DARE. I was literally…......FREAKING OUT!! It was so awesome and funny and perfect and...funny…..and kind of hot! I LOVED IT! Will is everything. Hes confident and sweet and knows who he is...and he is kind....cause....he just made *someones* life....and that's really all I can say cause…...spoilers sweetie!
If you’re into this series I definitely wouldn’t skimp out on the novellas...this one in particular if you like Will and Hanna. It was GREAT. LOVED IT...WISH I HAD MORE. Thanks again ladies!!

Will and Hanna are adorable in this book I love the group drinking scene that was fantastic.
I also really enjoyed that Will stood up for himself, it wasn’t in a mean way he just wanted to be a part of the process and Hanna was a bit one track minded.
Talking things out always fixes the big issues and I love that they can and do.
Great narration again.

Of course it’s a 5-star. It’s the Beautiful Bastard series.
It’s been a year since I last read books from this series and even though I can’t recall most of the characters anymore, this novella brought it back to my memory.

Yes! I can't wait for Will and Hanna's story to continue. Beautiful Player has been my favorite and lost count on the number of times I've read it.

“You know that just because we're getting married doesn't mean that anything between us changes, right? We're still Will and Hanna. We're still us. ”
OMG, I loved this!
I love Will and Hanna! They are my favourite of the Beautiful Bastard couples, so I was stupidly excited to get my hands on this little gem, and it was absolutely perfect!
Starting the night before Will and Hanna’s wedding we’re thrown straight into the rude and crude, banter-filled sexiliciousness that is this couple, and I was laughing out loud within the first few pages. But more than that, I loved seeing them still so madly in love with each other.
The beginning of their married life sees them approaching a big change as Hanna’s career takes off and she is in the middle of a series of job interviews. It is her dream to run a lab and she has offers from all over the country, and as she travels around meeting people, she is struggling to decide what to do and where to go, knowing that her decision is going to impact hugely on both of their lives. And with her being so closed-up about it, Will is feeling left out of the decision making process. It’s not excessive drama, it’s just an adjustment for them as they get used to being a couple and making life decisions together, and I thought it was handled really well.
And through it all, Will is pure perfection. He loves Hanna and he wants nothing more than for her to be happy, and though he is totally supportive of her and her dreams, he isn’t afraid to call her on the way she’s handling the situation when she starts to freak out. He approaches their relationship honestly and openly, absolutely committed to Hanna and to their life together. And OMG, ILOVEHIMSOMUCH!!
And even while they’re sorting themselves out, there is still lots of the gloriousness that is this couple together, and it just makes me want to go back and read their story all over again!
Yes, of course, there’s lots of sexy time. And yes, it’s absolutely freaking hot.
It’s also freaking hilarious! I laughed so much listening to this. Will and Hanna are fantastic on their own, and there’s also a fabulous scene where the entire crew get together for a night of shots and truth or dare, and it’s absolute gold! We also get to see Hanna’s brother Jensen again, and I’m SO excited for his book up next.
The perfect blend of funny, sweet, sexy and romantic, this is a great addition to the series, and a must-read for Will and Hanna fans.
5 stars
Note - I listened to this as an audiobook, and the narration is sensational! Once again I bow down to the awesomeness that is Sebastian York.

“There is no way to mess this up,” I said, right against her mouth. “Even if we didn't get married tomorrow, you're the love of my life. I'm with you until we both die, at the same time, when I am one hundred and you are ninety three.”

“What do you want to do tonight?” she asked.
I shrugged, running my fingers up through the soft tangle of her hair.
“This. Be married. Maybe put on a movie. Order some dinner. Go to bed and fuck for a while.”
“Can I switch up the order of that a little?” she asked, fingers sliding just under the waistband of my boxers.

Y’all. Christina Lauren is the BOMB. Beautiful Boss was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, because I love anything and everything that has to do with Will Sumner, and CLo did NOT disappoint. Beautiful Player is one of my favorite books, if not THE favorite book, by this author duo, so to say I was happy there would be a novella sequel would be an understatement. Beautiful Boss was pretty much a delight to read – revisiting Will and Hanna and the rest of the BB gang just made me so incredibly happy. If you love Christina Lauren’s books and Beautiful Player, then you absolutely need to get your hands on this latest novella installment.
“There is no way to mess this up,” I said, right against her mouth. “Even if we didn’t get married tomorrow, you’re the love of my life. I’m with you until we both die, at the same time, when I am one hundred and you are ninety-three.”
Beautiful Boss centers around Will and Hanna’s upcoming wedding and the new chapter of their lives as husband and wife they’re about the start. Hanna has been visiting different schools around the country to get a feel for what job offer to accept, but she’s yet to make a decision. Will is supportive of her but is getting frustrated with the distance between them every time she leaves to visit a school. I don’t want to give away too much of the story, but trust me, this novella is just incredible. It’s sexy as hell, romantic, charming, and so, so funny. Hanna and Will are the biggest science nerds ever, and I love them even more after reading Beautiful Boss.
Christina Lauren fans won’t be disappointed with this novella. It’s got their wonderful writing, two lovable, kickass characters, aaand even a little man-on-man kiss that will have you in stitches. And oh my god, Will is as swoon-worthy as ever! He will forever reign as one of my favorite book boyfriends EVER. If you haven’t read Beautiful Player yet (or even the series), I highly recommend it if you love brilliantly written contemporary romances. Then you can get on reading Beautiful Boss and experience the wonder that is Will and Hanna’s married life.
Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me a copy to review.

Will bit back a laugh. “Have you ever actually heard yourself whisper? It’s like a stage whisper, done only for comedic effect and meant to be heard by the people all the way in the back.”
ATTENTION THIS IS NOT A DRILL. WILL SUMNER'S #1 FAN HERE AND I WILL TELL YOU THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!
I adore the story because we get to see more inside the life of the Sumner-Bergstrom family and the decisions that could ruin a relationship if the communication is not a two way street. Will and Hannah adore each other, but you already know that. Get ready for more of that love.
Bonus? The Gang is there so you will laugh a LOT!
