*****4.5 STARS***** There are many things I love about the books I read, but one of my faves is when the male MC is a sexier than hell Brit!! Also when the setting takes place in New York City, the city I grew up in, well then I'm in heaven. Had I known that Max Stella was waiting for me in this book, I DEFINITELY would have read this one a lot sooner!!! I am kicking myself for waiting so long to read this book!Sara Dillon has just moved to NYC and has been given the Director of Finance posit...

3 StarsMy friends who have read this series told me after I finished Beautiful Bastard that Beautiful Stranger is much better but... So this book began when Sara Dillon met the rich and sexy British executive Max Stella at a club. Fresh from a failed long-term relationship, Sara was determined to have fun and forget her heartaches and just simply set herself free from her modest self. Sara and Max's first encounter immediately led to sex. At the club. And what started off as a sexual fling led t...

4.5 Max Stars ”You give good innuendo.” I should start off by saying that I didn't finish book 1 of this series, it was a DNF for me. After enjoying the first two books of the Wild Season series I wanted more and decided to give book two of this series a try. Sara Dillion leaves her long-term relationship and home behind in Chicago for a fresh new start in the Big Apple. On her first night out with her girlfriends she meets a beautiful stranger. Max Stella is WONDERFUL. He is super sexy, funn...

I know that Max "Beautiful Stranger" doesn't have super dark hair, but I am going with the British accent and I am just going to state for the record that I replaced Max with David Gandy (Sara who?). I imagine that a shot like this could be found on his camera if Sara got her hands on it. Before I actually touch the story...Who cares if these authors started out with fan-fiction. Who cares if they started their process with FSOG or Twilight in mind? Who CARES? Many young writers are being pushe...

Re-read Review4.5 Stars!Was Max worth the re-read? I first read this one almost 2 years ago so I really didn't remember a lot of the details! But I must say, I enjoyed this one just as much the second time around! Loved the banter between Max and Sara....and the whole gang really! Loved their voyeuristic/exhibitionist kink.....SO HOT! Loved that there was very little drama between Max and Sara! This series really shouldn't be missed! Can't wait for more Max and Sara in February! Initial Review4....

Hello Max. My name is Jessica and you can take me anywhere. And do mean ANYWHERE!Well holy moley. That Sara girl is one lucky chick with Max.This book starts off GREAT. You guys know how much I love a good sex up against the wall scene. And boy does it deliver. There are quite a few smexy scenes in this book. Max was quite creative too. The man took her, and when I mean took her, I mean TOOK HER, in the NEW YORK FRIGGIN PUBLIC LIBRARY! Come on! Books AND sex with an outrageously hot guy. My day

I'm really enjoying this series. It's quite simplistic, what I mean is the plot isn't intricate there's not much depth and I guess it's very predictable. But it's fun and hilarious. It feeds that starry eyed dreamer in living inside me. The bickering and banter between the characters is entertaining. Fun.Our characters are Max Stellar a British businessman and Sara Dillon, she works in finances but really she's a woman who's been burned in a previous relationship. She's starting over in New York...

"You could break my heart. Just know that, yeah?"I listened to this in audio, and I have to say the narrator for Max's voice was dreamy, especially when he was talking dirty! I actually could have listened to him read anything, and I loved Max's character... "I know you're saying something profound, but it's hard to focus when your tits are out."Actually the female narrator did a great job too. It was really entertaining when she would lower her voice and add his accent when she was readin

3.5 starsDefy Me comes out in 5 days and I told myself I'd pick up a quick, light book to read in those five days, which means continuing this light but fun and steamy series. And I ended up reading this book in less than 24 hours.I should've expected this book would be just as addicting as the first book! I think I enjoyed it a little more (.5 stars) than book one, but it still fell in the category of being a bit typical and nothing really blew me away with this story. If anything, I think it w...

5 Always Beautiful Stars ⭐️ Beautiful Stranger was an absolute winner.I love all things British; the music, the accent, the crass humor, the Cider, the men (so I married one), and now Max Stella and his three fingers..... I could just go on.Sara has left her previous life and boyfriend for a new beginning in New York. Tired of the mundane life she left behind, a girls night out ends with her getting eloquently banged against the wall in a club by a beautiful stranger.When Sara discovers that Max...

2.5 Stars.. This book was not as good if compared to the first book.. Beautiful Bastard was I think a 100 times better in every way possible.I didn't like Sara.. She isn't the kind of a girl I like. I hate it when one guy pays for the mistakes of another because the girl is just plain stupid. AND I hate blind women. I mean wake up and smell the fucking coffee Sara!!She wasn't half the woman Chloe was. She was irritating me more than anything..I liked Max, He was british.. I MEAN C'MON.. You cann...

Sara's made some big changes in her life recently and when she sees a gorgeous Brit that obviously wants her, she thinks why not? And so it begins...I've really been drawn lately to books where the male lead is more into the female lead...or so it seems. I love seeing their vulnerability and Max did not disappoint!In fact, he was all types of yummy! Whether it was his experience or just being able to figure Sara out, I loved how he knew exactly what she wanted. And...I loved all the things/place...

When given the opportunity to read this story way before it's publishing date, I pretty much dropped everything to devour this story immediately. And that's exactly what happened.. I not only ate up every word, but licked the bowl too.For those of you joining us from 'Beautiful Bastard', please note that this novel is NOT fanfiction derived in any way shape or form. While I enjoyed reading BB, I was looking forward to 'Beautiful Stranger' the most because it was original and gave me an insight t...
