About this listen

A bombshell bookworm. A chronic Casanova. And a lesson in chemistry too scandalous for school.

When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she's determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother's gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?

Will takes risks for a living, but he's skeptical about this challenge of Hanna's…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed - and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can't forget. Now that Hanna's discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it's up to Will to prove he's the only man she'll ever need.

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

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.

Five stars

I decided on the full stars not because this is sophisticated literature. Because it is obviously not. But within their genre, Christina Lauren stand out because they do a very nice job. This book is a perfect example for very steamy, very turn-on and most of all very nicely written sex scenes. This must not be underestimated. It is hard work and at the same time a masterful art to write sexy about sex. Many otherwise grand authors fail miserably in that task. Christina Lauren don't. They are brilliant. The voices, both female and male, of the readers are also great. This audio book is a perfect performance on all levels and I enjoyed it very much.

Catch me I'm falling

Great characters, some funny one liners and believable romance. Having said that the only thing lacking in this story was a bit of an excitement as to what can happen next to their relationship. The story as good as it was, was unfortunately uneventful and predictable.
The narrators can NOT do an accent if their life depended on it. Max sounded the same as the other men in the story, but Sebastian still had a nice deep voice tantalizing and ohhhh so delicious.

My Favorite Beautiful Book so far!

Would you listen to Beautiful Player again? Why?

Definitely, i love the little subtle details that the authors weave into the Beautiful series that tie into the other book's characters.

What did you like best about this story?

I love that Hannah met Will at just the point he was ready for this kind of relationship. It was really cool to hear about.

Which scene was your favorite?

At the "Grad School" party.

Any additional comments?

The only slightly annoying part of this story is that Hannah's lack of sexual experience seems really far fetched.

The best!

Where does Beautiful Player rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is by far my absolute favorite audiobook of all time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Will Sumner! He is smart sexy and says EXACTLY what is on his mind. Very HOT.

Have you listened to any of Grace Grant and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have a quite a few audios with Grace Grant. Love her because she has that "normal, everywoman voice" (that was a compliment!) This is my second from Sebastian York. He has the voice of a GOD and perfect interpretation. He is the PERFECT Will Sumner, sexiest voice ever!

Any additional comments?

Worth every penny!

#1

What did you like best about this story?

The characters were smart, funny and sexy. The narrators were amazing!

Have you listened to any of Grace Grant and Sebastian York ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Oh Yes!! And have purchased other books because they were the narrators, sadly the writing with other books (not Christina Lauren books) I've purchased could not compare to Christina Lauren.

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

The whole book was captivating! Audible laugh with the broken jesus statue scene! Brilliant and Hilarious!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!

Would you listen to Beautiful Player again? Why?

I've listened to it multiple times. It's a great book and the narration is perfection.

What does Grace Grant and Sebastian York bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I read the book and I loved every word in it. When I listened to the audiobook I realized there was a whole new level of love to be found. These 2 did a great job bringing the perfect characters personalities to life.

Any additional comments?

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I LOVE THIS BOOK SERIES. The same characters are in all the books so it's nice to read them in order but absolutely not necessary. I read this book 1st and after falling in love with it I went back and read the rest. It's well written, funny, sweet, sexy, and so so so much fun. Christina Lauren are the best authors in this genre. The characters in this book are the best in the bunch. Sebastian York as Will made an already perfect book character a whole new level of perfection. It's worth more than 1 credit.

I simply love this book.

The laughter filling my home, and lifting my spirits was such a wonderful surprise.
I have listened to it twice, and enjoyed it completely both times. The characters are perferct and of course Sebastian York's delightfully sexy voice makes it even better.
The whole set of books are great, just a joy to listen to.
