   MAX (Jonathan Cole) - Liquid Chocolate!

   What did you love best about Beautiful Beloved?

   I LOVE MAX (and Jonathan Cole's version of Max - he and Sebastian York are 2 of the top narrators out there for men)! I Love his love for Sara and that they're so on the same page. Men usually don't allow their feelings to be so surface, don't acknowledge them. Max does that and more.

   Who was your favorite character and why?

   Max - I love his voice and as I said, I love that he allows his great love to be so transparent - He Owns It!! I love all the BB characters - and I love the books, but my favorite books, hands down would be the ones narrated by Jonathan and Sebastian - Grace is fine.

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

   They bring real life to these characters, both are perfect for the parts..amazing feeling and depth. Though Beautiful Bastard started it all and as much as I like Chloe and Bennet, I love Max and Sara and Hannah and Will more, just because I can relate to them much more. Christina and Lauren have a way of writing sexy love stories that resonate - and these narrators translate that - I always have to listen to their narrations at least, at LEAST twice! Worth every penny!

   If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

   The Love of Your Dreams

   Any additional comments?

   I beg (BEG) Christina & Lauren to consider writing this type of epilogue for Hannah and Will, and some of their other characters....Their die-hard fans will love it - I know I do! People think of all of this as mommy porn, etc. Frankly, if a guy gets into bed with a girl within 20 pages I sometimes think this isn't the book for me. I have to be emotionally invested in the characters and Christina & Lauren are able to do that, draw me in and build characters I feel are real....I own all of your work in Kindle and raksBooks and Love them all!! KEEP IT UP!!!!

   Funny and sexy

   Would you consider the audio edition of Beautiful Beloved to be better than the print version?

   This book is a novella of the Beautiful Bastard series. This novella is about Sara and Max. I love their chemistry. The casual banters between these 2 were great and other characters too. Once I started this book, i was not able to put it down. It's a quick read and it's worth it.

   Christina Lauren never disappoints!

   whew, that was hott. *fanning self* Beautiful Beloved, a Beautiful Bastard novella, follows Max Stella and his wife, Sara, as they navigate the first few months after the birth of their daughter. Known for their exhibitionism and kinky lifestyle in Beautiful Stranger, Max and Sara might secretly be longing to get back to their tawdry ways, but now, seeing each other as parents, makes it difficult to piece together who they once were with who they are now. This story follows them through the series of mishaps that plagues them as they try to find the happy medium between being new parents, and the sexually adventurous Max and Sara they once were. As fun and entertaining as this was, it was also extremely sweet and loving. There were some really true moments that brought a nice level of emotion to everything. There are so many tender parts in this story where Max is just in awe of his wife and to say his emotions for her are lovely is an understatement. I love how there is such reverence for Sara when she is nursing. I love how his world is now consumed by these two females. I love how he talks with friends about his love for his family and new life without embarrassment and with such adoration. You can’t help but fall more in love with Max and be envious of Sara but in the best possible way. "You're shirtless with the world's sweetest baby cuddled on those muscles. Put a shirt on, you beast, or I can't be held responsible for my actions." - Sara Along with that sweet, was the chemistry that Max and Sara have that pulls you into their relationship. This story was also pretty darn sexy! It definitely had that added Max and Sara hotness and kink factor that I love. Grace Grant and Jonathan Cole did a great job with the narration as always.
