Mmmm! Mmmm! I do love some fun book candy! Once again, Christina Lauren delivers a sweet and steamy romantic comedy. The magic here is that the characters are genuinely likable. You root for them to win and you hurt for them when they lose. 
 What's particularly great about the men in a Christina Lauren novel is that the characters feel like real people. The men aren't those dark brooding alpha males that some many other authors rely on in a romantic male lead. The men are kind, funny, sexy, and supportive. The women aren't all blushing virgins and innocence that, again, so many other authors rely on. These are grown ass independent women who know how they want to be treated. In Beautiful Stanger our lead male, Max Stella, is charming, kind, funny, and genuinely invested in making our female lead, Sara Dillon, happy. Sara is trying to be young and fun all while maintaining her independence. Max manages to worm his way into her heart and she fully returns his love for her. It's so refreshing to see a healthy relationship! 
 I really feel it's important to portray a healthy relationship because so many other novels have men genuinely treating women like crap and then the women "changing" them with love. Let's be honest here... that never happens in real life! If a guy is a real dick bag to you, you don't try to change him. You get out of the relationship because he's a jerk! A healthy relationship is based on trust, kindness, and love. It's not about trying to get a jerk to be nice to you. 
 OK. Now that I've said my piece on healthy relationships... let's get down to the smut. O my! Christina Lauren writes the best smut I've ever read, which is important since the characters have sex for about 60% of the book! But like I said earlier, and bears repeating, that is part of a healthy committed relationship! This book in particular delves pretty heavily into voyeurism kink but it's just so hot! Seriously guys, IT'S THE BEST SMUT I'VE EVER READ! 
 There was only one thing that bothered me. At about 90% in I was thinking that it was so awesome that there wasn't some stupid, unnecessary drama thrown in to break apart the characters just so they can get back together. Then, literally, I turned the page and some stupid drama came along. It just really wasn't necessary to the story in my opinion. But other than that hiccup, this was a fun read. I will definitely continue with the series.
