My re-read journey of The Beautiful Series continues. This is a bonus novella to give us BB fanatics a little more Bennett and Chloe time. We certainly didn’t get our fill yet! After the chase and the struggle for Bennett and Chloe to find their footing we now get to see what it is like when these two really join forces and we see what their happily ever after looks like now that the two are joined."I felt a smile pull at my mouth. This was us. It was such a familiar battle of love and frustration, desire and exasperation. She would push every button I had, and then uncover new ones I didn’t even know I had, and push those."Life for these two powerful, business world people would be anything but a walk in the park, right? How about spending a little time in France?! Reality has set in after their time spent hooking up in Ryan Media Group stairwells and they find that in their business driven world neither is spending the time with the other like they would like. Two people, who before their careers were their whole lives, now need to prioritize and figure out how to still make time to be wholly present with the one that they love.“I can function without you. But I don’t like being away from you. It feels like you take my home with you when you go.”This basically picks up where BB(1) left off. It is done in a way where it is actually set 11 months later but through memories we see exactly what happened from right after Chloe’s big presentation to how they got to where they are today. We get to see more of their HEA and how the Chloe and Bennett co-exist now that their secret is public knowledge. We see Chloe nervously (yah, her… nervous!) re-join the Ryan family, now as the girlfriend of Bennett. We see the BB get to sweat it out a bit while meeting Chloe’s dad for the first time, after he is sure her farther has heard stories about what a nightmare her boss was (maybe still is…). We see how they navigate both working at RMG now that Chloe is no longer an intern but a full-fledge employee.“Find a woman who will be your equal in every way. Don’t let yourself fall for someone who’ll put your world before theirs. Fall for the powerhouse who lives as fearlessly as you do. Find the woman who makes you want to be a better man."It is light and fun and just the right amount of dosage to satisfy the ache leaving Bennett Ryan had left, especially when we get to see Bennett in love. Christina Lauren creates novels that are fun, sassy, steamy, and swoon-worthy. Bennett is a charismatic and oh so sexy. Chloe is a strong, ambitious lady easy to cheer for.You will hear no complaints from me about this return!
