Magnificent Bastard by Lili Valente is a stand-alone romance that is so flipping funny and sweet and fantastic you'll want more. I just couldn't get enough of Bash's perspective on life, love, and the consulting business he owns. The plot is original, the dialogue is HILARIOUS, and I blown away, yet again, by the wonderful writing skills of the wonderful Lili Valente A.K.A Jessie Evans (for the less erotically inclined). 
 Bash is consultant who helps women get "revenge" on their loser exes by putting on a performance of moving on with a hot and sensitive man and making sure that the power the loser ex had over the girl is cut, severed, gone forever. His assistant for the past couple of years, who he has NEVER met in person, shows up one day requesting his services. Penny has had it rough. She has always kept to herself, and while she is a beautiful person inside and out, her confidence has taken a huge hit thanks to not only her ex but a certain family member too. She needs Bash's help to get her life back on track, take the power back from her ex and show everyone, once and for all, that she is tough enough to stand tall and proud. 
 I loved it - it's awesome - Just read it! Enjoy! 
 Audible Audiobook "Review: Magnificent Bastard" 
 What did you love best about Magnificent Bastard? 
 Oh my goodness - Penny's Manatee tattoo? Um, no, perhaps her almost agoraphobic-like behavior and her sneaky approach at getting Bash to help her out. 
 Who was your favorite character and why? 
 Bash - because he's hot and moody and hot and sexy and alpha. Also really hot and super successful with such a novel business. 
 Which scene was your favorite? 
 The lake scene. You won't know what I mean until you have read the book. But definitely the lake scene. *winks* 
 Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? 
 When the truth comes out and when Bash is his "Penny" person and not his usual person.
