3 Funny Stars!
This novella is all about what happened in Vegas when the boys were having fun for Bennett's stag party. I loved the overall fun I've experienced while reading this book. Bennett, Max, Will, and Henry's shenanigans were crazily funny! There were also scenes between Chloe and Bennett that were extra hot. That lap dance scene, though. I was cracking out loud!

Bennett, Max, Will and Henry all go to Las Vegas for Bennett's bachelor party. Things are pretty straightforward until Bennett gets a lap dance and then things turn into a crazy sex-obsessed night for Bennett and Max.
It was really funny to read about all the things Max and Bennett went through to find time for Sara and Chloe while trying to keep things on the down low with Will and Henry.

Yikes. Përhåps this book didn't need to exist.
Whereas the first novella showed Chloe and Bennet's engagement, this was just useless and boring. A night in Vegas? yawn. it was like valentines day fanfiction the author wrote about their own characters. Even though Will is in this one and he becomes the MC of the next book, it doesn't really give you any prerequisite information that's useful to his book, so you don't even need to read it for that.

Viva Las Vegas! With Bastards and Strangers and Players, Oh My!
I'm a fan of this series, but I'll admit I started this book with low expectations. I wasn't exactly blown away by the last novella Beautiful Bitch… So I was pleasantly laughed-out-loud-several-times pleased with this!
I grinned so much my face hurt.
Valentines Weekend. Bennett's Bachelor Party. Las Vegas.

I loved watching Max and Bennett run all over Las Vegas like love-struck idiots...

Absolutely pointless! Everyone in this book was horny, they had sex, they came, that is all! I'm still trying to figure out why it was written. I kept thinking, any minute now Christine, there's gonna be a huge reveal and it'll all make sense. Nope, no such luck!

The gang is back! I can't seem to decide just who I love more, Bennett or Max... but part of me is partial to our Beautiful Stranger just because of one little thing...
Bennett, Max, Will and Henry are living it up in Vegas for B's stag party weekend - but these two can't seem to stay away from Chloe & Sara when they sneak into town. And let's just say that they go to great lengths to get a few moments alone with their gal while trying to ensure that Will and Henry have no clue as to what is goi ...more

Fans of the series that want a quickie read
It's been a while since I read 'Beautiful Bastard' and 'Beautiful Stranger', so it took a little work to get back into the story. I had forgotten many of the relationship dynamics and personalities. I think I would have enjoyed this short story more if I'd read it immediately after completing book 2. I still liked it, but probably would have liked it more if I had read it a long time ago.
Overall, I thought this was a fun, cute and entertaining short story. There wasn't much in terms of plot, jus ...more

I thought this was a cute short story. The guys are all off for Bennett's Bachelor party weekend in Vegas. It is Bennett, Max, Will, & Henry all out to party and get a little crazy. Add Chloe and Sara to the mix & it's a steamy, sexy good time! I was happy to see Bennett is still a panty ripper! ;)They even threw in a little spanking! :) I am really looking forward to Will's book up next! :)

Another good novella from the Beautiful Bastard series. In addition to OG Bennett and Chloe, we also get to see how Max and Sara from Beautiful Stranger are doing. Though I’m still not a fan of theirs, they were less cringy in this book. And as always, William was adorable.

A novella in Max and Bennett's POV, IN VEGAS ?
Hells yea!
I love, love, LOVE how this is a story of Max and Sara AND Bennett and Chloe - in the males' POV!
Oh, how I didn't know how much I missed Max! That man is something sexy! Still love Bennett's beautiful bastardly ass! These two men together calls for ovary combustion!
Can't wait to get down and dirty with Will in Beautiful Player, cause that TITLE, and being friends with Bennett and Max, only spells trouble! :D

Original review on Julalicious Book Paradise
So this novella was interesting, but I was not in love with it. I felt like they wanted to put so much stuff in the same book and it was really too much stuff for the length of this novella.
I felt that perhaps, they should have done a novella for Bennett and one for Max or just make it longer. Heck, I wouldn't mind 50-100 pages more if it meant like everything wasn't so confusing.
But I still liked it and I'm still glad that I read it becau ...more

As much as I enjoy the full length books in this series, characters I like in long form don't do anything for me in these short vignettes. Both BEAUTIFUL BASTARD and BEAUTIFUL STRANGER had some of the most passionate sex scenes I've read in a long time, but those same characters going at it without story around them just seems like any other erotica short. Specific, graphic, and utterly forgettable. I can't wait to read Will's story, however, and will continue to look forward to this series' ful

Leave it to the Beautiful Bastard crew to do Vegas right. These little novellas do nothing but feeding my craving for wanting more of these absolutely insatiable characters. Well, I am rarely short and sweet…but that’s what Beautiful Bombshell gave me, so that’s what I will give to you.

This book was so fun & had many laughs too. Short sexy novella about the boys Bennett, Max, Henry & Will weekend getaway for Valentine's day for Bennett's bachelor party in Vegas.
There was pretty much wall to wall sex in here from one scene to the next. But no complaints here! I think it was written very sensual & sexy in a way that doesn't come across overdone at all.

I love the Beautiful Series, I am however starting to feel a little ripped off as the cost of the novels + the novellas is pretty high.
Apart from making more money (the novellas cost almost the same in hardcopy as the full books do), I really don't see why the novellas cannot actully be added to the the end of the full length books they fall between. ...more

Well, this was uncalled for. I would put this kind of short story free, online, or, somewhere.

And you might think that would look like Hangover movie, but all you can read about is... Bennett and Max (s)e(x)scapades (not with each other;)), hiding and scr*wing with the guys, playing a prank or two and not telling the truth where they were, while fuc*ing girls.
