New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Christina Lauren’s Beautiful and Wild Seasons series hook up in Beautiful Secret for an erotic intercontinental romp that celebrates the best of both worlds When Ruby Miller’s boss announces he’s sending her on an extended business trip … an extended business trip to New York City, she’s shocked. As one of the best and brightest young engineers in London, she knows she’s professionally up to the task. The part that’s throwing her is where she’ll be spending a month up close and personal working alongside–and staying in a hotel with–Niall Stella, her firm’s top urban planning executive and The Hottest Man Alive. Despite her ongoing crush, Ruby is certain Niall barely knows she’s alive…until their flirty overnight flight makes him sit up and take notice.
Not one for letting loose and breaking rules, recently divorced Niall would describe himself as hopeless when it comes to women. But even he knows outgoing California-girl Ruby is a breath of fresh air. Once she makes it her mission to help the sexy Brit loosen his tie, there’s no turning back. Thousands of miles from London, it’s easy for the lovers to play pretend. But when the trip is over, will the relationship they’ve built up fall down?

So much of this story is a …

Good steamy read, but not my favorite of the series.
Because my cousin, Kelsey, told me to, I entered the Christina Laurenverse. I’m so glad I did! Rather than review the entire “Beautiful” series, I’m celebrating my favorite book–Beautiful Secret. Ruby is uncompromisingly delightful, mature and selfless–the perfect foil for our hero.

Hands down, this is one of the hottest contemporary romance series out there. I love how each book has a different and unique couple, yet you’re practically guaranteed some delightful dirty talk, and passion in the bedroom.
Ruby has had a crush on Niall forever, but it isn’t until they go on a business trip together that their mutual attraction …
