Publisher's summary

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.

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.

Chole and Bennett!!!!

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

That their character continued from the 1st book, the author did not miss a beat!!! How everything connected.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beautiful Beginning?

There were a couple of scenes where so funny.
How Bennett got even with Will - too funny!!
Car scene when losing the wedding party dresses and Sarah's dress - classic moment!!

Which scene was your favorite?

The wedding ceremony and finally the love making.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, the love they have for each other.

For being a short story book, it was so entertaining. Not just the love making but it was so funny!!

Any additional comments?

This book would not be good for the performance of Grace Grant and Sebastian York, they were perfect!! Oh boy - Sebastian voice is so so sexy, I can listen to him all day and night!!! LOL!!

Great Series

What about Grace Grant and Sebastian York ’s performance did you like?

They both did a great job. Sebastian York is the best male narrator around.

Any additional comments?

This is a small book in a series. It could be read alone but I don't think it would be as enjoyable without knowing the characters better from the other books. It's my favorite series out there right now. The writing and characters are close to perfection. The books in the series narrated by Sebastian York are very credit worthy.

This series just gets better and better

I have really enjoyed each book in this series. The interactions of the characters & especially the antics they get up to. There's also a great sense of humor at work. Several times I've cracked up while listening. I only have one left to listen to, but I wish I had more!!

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.
