About this listen

One beautiful bastard of a groom. The most beautiful bitch of a bride. A panty-ripping office hook-up turned true love everlasting.

Wedding bells can't chime soon enough for Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan. Chloe, exasperated and stressed by all the last-minute to-dos, is on the verge of saying "I do" to eloping. For his part, Bennett's so worried about being distracted by Chloe's body that he makes a no-sex-until-the-wedding-night rule that only seems to be making things worse by continually backfiring on him. As their crazy families descend for the big day - only a few of them actually trying to be helpful - the fiery lovers are about to test whether the couple that argues together can keep it together long enough to exchange rings, and not just heated words.

Featured Article: Steamy Listens as Irresistible as Fifty Shades of Grey


Fifty Shades of Grey has been a prominent title in erotica for nearly a decade. Considering that it's a wildly romantic story in which character development and sexual dynamics play equally strong roles, it’s quite a standout in its genre. Ask any fan and they’ll tell you that it’s not always easy to find something that has the same kind of tension and payoff as the Fifty Shades trilogy. Here are some books and series that fans of Fifty Shades are sure to love.

Beautiful Ending to a Beautiful Series

These books in this series have been so much fun... I listened to each of them and I seriously looked like a crazy woman laughing in the car all by myself listening to some of the scenes, then nearly pushing my shopping cart into someone during others. From sexy to witty in sixty seconds flat, this book is the most perfect, beautiful ending to the series.

The Bitch and the Bastard

This was a fun listen. The story had me laughing out loud, cringing and turning on the AC. The scenes are just so hot. This narration was perfection. I really got lost in the story.

Great!

Loved the relationship between Ben, Max and Will. I found myself LOL when Ben told the Chloe's auntie's that Will like them in pairs! Absolutely the story of characters coming together for me.

I wanted more....

Would you listen to Beautiful Beginning again? Why?

I likely wouldn't listen to this one again, the others in the series I would listen to in a heartbeat. I would have preferred to know everyone one's "Beautiful Beginning" not just Bennett and Chloe's. After listening to Max and Will's stories...Bennett's is a little boring. This one was still pretty steaming though.

What did you like best about this story?

I like that the wedding wasn't perfect...because in reality they never are...something always happens. So the fact that it wasn't prefect made it more believable and enjoyable.

Steamy sex and hearty laughs

What made the experience of listening to Beautiful Beginning the most enjoyable?

The ups and downs of preparing for a wedding, and the great narrators.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. It's a condensed version of a romantic comedy with good sex for an R-rated adventure.

Any additional comments?

Well worth the price. This is a great epilogue to Chloe and Bennett's story. Enough steam to make you loosen your collar and laughs to make people wonder what you're listing to! A nice short story I can come back to between books or when I just need a light listen.
