An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard. Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they’re willing to lose in order to win each other. Originally only available online as The Office by tby789—and garnering over 2 million reads on fanfiction sites—Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for re-release.

The book overall was confusing. The sex scenes were good and all but I kept looking for the plot. It was almost like the authors forgot about it along the way.
DNF @ 72%. This is definitely a case of “it's not you, it's me”. I just need more from a book than 90% sexy times and 10% actual plot. The writing is decent and I can see why people like this book but it's just not for me.
Not a huge fan, but also couldn't put it down. I didn't care for the way the book started or the way they avoided talking about their issues, but I love an egomaniac boss who falls for the sweet intern. Overall, pretty good book, not one I would recommend, but it was alright.
