   I wish I could give it 6 stars! A playful, entertaining and sexy story!
   I absolutely loved this book… loved it! A playful, entertaining and sexy story! It was everything I could have wanted. By the end I was a mess and so in love with all the characters it was ridiculous.I think Will and Hanna are perfectly matched and watching them grow was so heartfelt. I loved their interactions! There was the perfect amount of drama and I always seemed to be on the edge of my seat wondering where their relationship was going and how it was going to play out. I was completely wrapped up in the story. There was a lot of was playfulness in this book but I felt it was very emotional as well. I felt like my heart was in my throat several times.The other characters from previous books made an appearance and their interactions are always classic and several times throughout they totally made me laugh. Chloe and Bennett. Max and Sara. It was so nice to get snippets of their life and what they were up to. I think it’s great how they all intersect throughout this book and the series as well. It was all perfect! And there’s a perfect something about one of those couples and it made me beyond happy. I think they all have such a great dynamic as friends and couples.I thought that Will and Hanna’s characters developed nicely and there was great pacing. It never felt slow to me and I thought it had a fantastic build. I tore through this book not wanting to put it down. I was so excited for the end but as soon as I got there, I was sad it was over. And that bit right at the end? *sigh* So them! Excellent writing!Of course there was a huge supply of hotness and sexy times. I mean holy hell Batman! That’s some heady stuff. I felt like I was busted doing something wrong when my husband walked into the room and all I was doing was reading!I have to say, I’m pretty sure Will is my favorite out of all the guys. I really liked them all but Will, I just got him. I did love Max (I mean seriously, he’s British!) but there was something extra special about Will… it might have been the Star Wars t-shirt that pushed me over the edge. ;-)The Beautiful Bastard series is definitely one I will reread and would absolutely recommend. I wish I could give it 6 stars! Loved it all!

   Will and Hanna are the best. I love how authors made you fall in love, laught and feel angst, and this is one of those stories.

   I loved the book. Totally relatable characters and the fact that the characters from the earlier novels keep popping in with their 2 cents worth… was really cute.

   I must say I really enjoyed this book. Hanna alias Ziggy has had a crush on her brother’s friend for ages, and after she’s been in New York for a while, she is encouraged by her brother to call him so she has a social life. She’s a serious grad student and has been hiding out, doing science experiments instead of being with people. Will is the player in the story, a man with a long and sordid history with women who had regular hookups with different women, with no strings attached. Hanna is a most enjoyable character: she has few if any filters and because she doesn’t see Will as a realistic boyfriend, is completely open with him, asking him questions that will make the reader laugh out loud. Will doesn’t have a clue how to respond, and finds himself falling in love with her.The sex is this book is hot but the story line carries it. Many of the books I have read in the last year or so (over 400 now) are excuses for sex scenes; this one doesn’t fit that category and I greatly appreciate it. You’ll find yourself loving Will with all his flaws. And Hanna is no clumsy Bella or insecure Ana. She is whip-smart, funny and always trying to figure things out.This is a top-10 book for me.

   Mir hat die Geschichte von Hanna und Will ausgesprochen gut gefallen. Auch wenn mein Lieblingscharakter aus der Reihe eigentlich Max ist, mochte ich die Figur von Will sehr.Dass diese Bücher nicht markerschütternd gut oder literarische Meisterwerke sind, erwartet der Leser solch eines Genres ja auch gar nicht. Es war kurzweilige und man kann es ruhig zugeben auch sinnliche Unterhaltung. Die Figuren sind sympathisch, natürlich ein wenig glatt, aber trotzdem kann man sich zeitweise mit ihnen identifizieren. Auch wenn man keinen sexy Millionär an der Angel hat, ermöglichen die beiden Ich-Erzähler mir als Rezipientin ein Abtauchen in die Geschichte.Mir gefallen die Bücher definitiv besser, als die Shades of Grey-Trilogie nicht zuletzt, weil die weiblichen Charaktere stark und unabhängig sind. Die Jungs sind gerade so dominant und fordernd, wie man sie braucht. ;)Also gute, leichte Unterhaltung mit einer ordentlichen Portion Sex und Romantik.
