Book Blurb

Back when not being able to stand each other also meant not being able to keep their hands of each other in Beautiful Bastard, neither Bennett nor Chloe could have seen this day coming.

An exasperated bride who just wants to elope. A determined groom whose only focus is getting to the wedding night. And—of course—a whole lot of name calling.

Toot's Review by 

For fans of the Beautiful Bastard series, the day has arrived!!! Chloe and Bennett are getting married and the event is finally here but with these two, you know it's going to be a battle to the alter. The whole gang is in full swing helping the couple make sure they get there in style. The couple is gonna need them too with all the drama going on. The family has gathered in San Diego, California for the wedding. Normally the couple could stay sane in the chaos by finding peace/release with each other but Bennett has other ideas. He's decided he wants to build anticipation for the wedding night and decides, four days before the wedding, that they are going to abstain. Chloe isn't having it and declares....game on! The two lock into a battle of wills. Chloe seducing Bennett and Bennett doing everything he can to not cave. All the while dealing with crazy in-laws, rumpled dresses, handsie cougars on the prowl and just about anything that could go wrong, does!

This was the perfect scenario for these two crazy kids. I can't imagine anything different. It was full of mischief, craziness and the ongoing man vs. woman that these books are famous for. Being a San Diegan myself, I love, love, love The Del (which is the location for the wedding) and having the wedding there is most San Diegan's dream come true, so as you can imagine, I was so freakin' envious and I don't think Christina Lauren could have picked a more romantic setting for the couple. As for the story itself, it is totally perfect for these characters and fits in line with the series as a whole. It's a fun quick read that fans will absolutely adore and if you're not a fan of the series yet, I think it will delight any romantics' fairytale dreams as well as add a whole lotta spice.
