One-night stands are supposed to be with someone
convenient, or wickedly persuasive, or regrettable. They aren’t supposed to be
with someone like him.
But after a crazy Vegas weekend celebrating her college graduation—and
terrified of the future path she knows is a cop-out—Mia Holland makes the
wildest decision of her life: follow Ansel Guillaume—her sweet, filthy fling—to
France for the summer and just…play.
When feelings begin to develop behind the provocative roles they take on, and
their temporary masquerade adventures begin to feel real, Mia will have to
decide if she belongs in the life she left because it was all wrong, or in the
strange new one that seems worlds away.
... find the quiet in the chaos
Sweet Filthy Boy is the first book I have read by this author(s) and it will definitely
not be my last! I loved everything about it and it had a completely new, fresh story.
What I mean is, it wasn't boy meets girl, they fall in love, yada, yada....
same old story. The story is told from only Mia's POV but I would have liked to
see into Ansel's mind to get a handle of where his mind was. Sweet Filthy Boy is the first in a new
series for Christina Lauren but it didn't end with a cliffhanger and the second
book in the series will focus on a different couple. I wish that there had been
an epilogue to tie it all up in a nice bow but I can only hope that there is a
novella before the next book.
Mia was a dancer and that was
all that she wanted for her life but tragically, that dream was put to an end
when a car accident left her leg so badly damaged that she would never dance
professionally. Feeling lost and defeated, she enrolled in business school to
make her father happy. Before heading off to graduate school in Boston, Mia and
her two best friends head to Vegas to have some fun.
This is where Ansel appears
and Mia's life will never be the same. She just wanted to have a good time and
maybe have a one night stand but when she wakes up married the next morning,
she begins to piece together what happened. Ansel doesn't want to do an
annulment until the summer is over and asks her to come back to his home in
Paris. Mia is a bit floored but at the last second, she jumps on his plane!
“I just want to make love
to you all day. I don’t want to think about work or friends or even eating. I
want to exist on you alone.” - Ansel
The is a bit lot of hot steamy sex in this
wonderful book, but it doesn't take it over the way some books do because the
sex scenes were not boring or repetitious the way some books are written.
Anyone can write a sex scene, but it takes talent to write good one, and these
ladies do not disappoint.
I want my hands on every
inch of him at once, but they always gravitate to the smooth expanse of his
chest. Everything in the world I find sexy, I find there: The firm, warm skin.
The heavy drum of his heart. The sharp spasms of his abdomen when I scratch my
short nails over his ribs. The line of soft hair that always tempts my hands
lower.
I want to write more but I don't want to ruin it!
So, go buy the book because it won't disappoint!
I know now that I love him, that what we have is real, and
that I probably loved him that first second I saw him from across the room,
enjoying my happiness as much as I did. It is possible to fall that fast.

Sweet Filthy Boy was another great funny sexy book by Christina Lauren. I would give this book a 4 stars! This is book one of the wild seasons series. This is told in Mia's POV, but you will still get plenty of the hot sexy French man Ansel. I have loved every book that Christina Lauren has put out there and she made no mistake with this one, it was fabulous. I love there writing style, and how they can make the most unique characters. Beautiful Bastard will always hold a special place in my heart but this one scooted right up next to it. I can't wait for more in this series. It does end with an HEA, but hopefully we will get to see more because her friends and his friends characters would make a damn good book as well!
Mia and Ansel meet on a night when Mia is out celebrating for her graduation from college. Mia didn't want to go out that night but her friends of course talked her into it. She never thought she would meet this sexy french man Ansel. They seem to run into each other all over and one drunken night something huge happens and he propositions her to come back to Paris with him....will she take his offer or move forward with her life to please her parents by going to grad school and finishing her education? What will happen when she does take this adventure to Paris, its just supposed to be an arrangement of sorts not a real thing, its all pretend right? Can she keep her heart out of the arrangement or do they both fall hard and fast and never look back? Will his job get in the way of them spending time together? Can they find an HEA after all?
You need to pick up this book... you will laugh out loud and seriously swoon over Ansel. I didn't want to give to much away in my review because I think it would ruin the story. But trust me when I say if you loved any books by these authors you will definitely love this one just as much. I can't wait for more from them they seriously can write fantastic stories and delicious male specimens!
Here are some lines from the book, and check out my teaser pic below this cause it is my favorite line in the whole book!
Mia-- He makes me feel like I'm something to reveal, something in which to revel. I'm the reward at the end of his magic trick, exposed beneath the velvet cape. His eyes rake across my skin and I can see his own impatience: shirt flung across the room, fingers tugging at this belt, tongue flickering at the air, searching for a taste of me.
I don't know where these words are coming from: I'm not myself right now. Maybe I'm never myself with him. He nods but doesn't stop moving his hand. I love it. I love that it's no weird or taboo. He's lost in me, he's hard, he's giving in to the need for his own pleasure while he gives me mine.
Ansel- "Won't you wake up, Cerise? Kiss me goodbye with that mouth of yours? Those lips that me in trouble? I was in a meeting yesterday and when they called my name I had no idea what anyone was talking about. All I could think about was the way your cherry lips look stretched around my cock, and then last night.....oh. The things I'll imagine today. You're going to get me fired and when we're penniless on the street you'll have no one to blame but that mouth."
Lauren Billings (but everyone calls her Lo) has a Ph.D. in
neuroscience and before she made writing her full-time job, would spend her
days doing nerdy research-type things wearing a lab coat and goggles. She is
silly Mommy to two littles, wife to one mountain biking homebrewing scientist,
bestie to a shoe-stealer, and an unabashed lover of YA and romance.
Christina Hobbs (but you’ll always hear Lo
call her PQ) used to spend her days in a junior high counseling office
surrounded by teenagers. Married to the cutest boy in school, she has a
thirteen year old daughter, is an unapologetic lover of boy bands and glitter,
and also likes to steal Lo’s shoes.
