Beautiful Player (The Beautiful Series Book 3)

This is Book 3 in the Beautiful series and I would say, unusually, that each book was better than the previous one. I loved Will and Hanna’s story, even though she got mildly irritating at one point where she kept running off like a headless chicken without getting to the bottom of the situation first... but I suppose if she hadn’t it sounds have cut another 2 chapters from the book(!). Anyway a great read and highly recommended. On a ‘last but not least’ note I also want to mention that I LOVED George’s banter. (George being Sara’s cheeky and comical assistant.)

This is a light sexy easy read, in 2 POV.Will is a player. A certain day of the week, a certain girl. However he is very honest about this and everyone knows where they stand. Until Hanna and his player ways become reformed.Hanna is the inexperienced workaholic who’s family has to convince her that she needs to have more fun. And who do they suggest? Well Will of course. Will is Hanna’s brothers best friend and lives close buy to help get Hanna get out and about. Hanna and Will have great banter. This is a friends to lovers story, prob my fave couple of the series to far. Also get to see Bennett, Chloe, Max and Sara. Can be read as a stand-alone but I always suggest to read the whole series first.

I really enjoyed this, the third book of the Beautiful series.Hanna (aka Ziggy) is Will's friend's little sister. Unknown to Will, Hanna has crushed on him for years. When Hanna's brother Jensen contacts Will and asks him to get his sister out of herself and her all-consuming job in a lab, he does so without hesitation - Hanna's a sweet girl, and he's known her for years!When they arrange to meet for an early morning run, Will realises just how much Hanna's grown into a woman, and Hanna realises that Will is still hot. But Will's a player, and has a few regular girls on rotation every week, which is an immediate red flag to Hanna. While not an innocent virgin, Hanna is unused to dating, so enlists the help of Will to coach her. But Will starts to care too much, much to an oblivious Hanna.*******************Will was a great character. He was sexy, likable and thoughtful, and although he had a player status, he was loyal and faithful while with Hanna. I wasn't expecting Will to be the way he was, and it was so refreshing to see a man lose his s*** over a woman!Hanna was sweet and funny (some of the stuff she came out with was hilarious, what with her lack of brain-to-mouth filter!). But for someone so clearly intelligent, by God was she naive and oblivious to the world of dating, yet with the filthiest mouth!I loved the secondary characters of Hanna's family and Max/Bennett/Chloe/Sara. It's nice when the main parties have no parental issues/angst/mental health issues, and you can focus on the matter at hand. Their interest is running together, and when, despite everything, Will helps Hanna run the half marathon, it made my heart swell. The texting was also very cute - sometimes funny, sometimes intimate. The chemistry between them was amazing, and the sex was beyond hot! Yum! The book was also very well written, flowed well, and I loved the dual POV's.The reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 was because:1. I felt it dipped a bit around two thirds in, but luckily picked up again.2. One thing that really annoys me in books (and movies) is miscommunication. I find it very frustrating, and it can be remedied easily by - oh, I dunno - talking!3. Hanna's to-ing and fro-ing was exhausting, and I found her quite immature at times. It was very obvious to everyone EXCEPT Hanna that Will was crazy about her. I find that women are more astute than men, so I found this hard to believe.Otherwise, a really good read, but Beautiful Bastard is still my favourite!

AS IF! Come on Christina and Lauren you cannot leave a book ending like that it is sooooo not fair! I Loved Will and Hanna's story It took me less than a day to read it all!I was beautifully written - as always - and I can't tell you how many times I was getting either hot, flustered and blushing or mildly irritated and heart-beating-wildly flustered at the things they shared a little too much of and then the things they wouldn't say out loud!Like all of your books I loved this one and if someone was to ask me what my favourite one is I would have to say Bastardstrangerbitchbombshellplayer very fast!I can't wait to read beginning and I hope to see more of Hanna, Will, Sara & Max in the future!
