Beautiful Secret by Christina Lauren Book Summary

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 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?

Lots of words. This one was too wordy and inner monologues were endless. Decent read. Not her best

Amazing!!!!!!. Read this book in two days because I could not put it down! Christina Lauren once again captured a different type of love story like in the other books! Definitely one of my favorites out of the series.

Beautifully Wonderful. I never tire of this writing duo that makes me blush and laugh and cry with every book they publish. Niall and Ruby's story is fantastically written and adorably hilarious with Ruby's inability to filter. The only thing I wish for in this series is more. Always more.

Loved loved loved!!!. You ladies knocked this out of the park! I absolutely loved every digital page!! I immediately loved & believed the characters. I laughed, cried & I think I was sweating at one or two points. I actually didn't want this story to end...which is saying a lot for me. I look forward to more of your blood sweat & tears aka your books.

Beautiful. Omg Niall and Ruby beautiful. To have been a marriage so long that was just a marriage and to find true love in someone so far from what you expected for both it was simply beautiful. A must read

Wonderful ! Bloody wonderful !. LOVED IT !!! I just finished and it was amazinggggg

Just okay. I've read all of Christina Lauren's books and this was my least favorite. I really enjoyed Beautiful Bastard, Dirty Rowdy Thing, and all their other books. I'm used to reading their books in days because I was excited but while reading this book, I found myself a little bored at times. There was no chemistry between the Ruby and Niall but maybe because I thought Niall was too brooding and Ruby was acting unprofessional or immature. Also, as a result of reading all of the books, I am starting to find a lot of the scenarios redundant. The female characters would 'bite their lip' and say 'holy hell' which is not that common. I will continue reading their future books but hope they get more creative with their stories.

Bravo CLo, Bravo. You guys don't disappoint.. I'm scared to say that this one so far has been my favorite because, well, I've said that about all of them after reading. But vulnerable and passionate Niall was a climaxing-ly amazing to character to discover after each page turn. Bravo ladies... Keep them coming, Gigi

Love the book. This was the best in the series. It pulls at your heart the entire time you read it.

Sweet story and female forward. Really enjoyed reading this story about Niall and Ruby. It was female forward and refreshing to read along with Ruby strong and in control. She was a professional and interesting, flawed, and human. It's worth the read.

Perfection 💗. The beautiful series is everything fun and entertaining about a good love story with lots of dirty words and sex! So enjoyed all the characters and their individual stories. I hate when a series comes to an end. But you know it's good when you imagine what the characters are now doing with their lives. Yes, when a story is that good, it becomes that real! Well done!!!

Really liked this book!. It is refreshing to have a completely different male character who is timid and apprehensive in regards to dating and sex. Niall has been with only one woman his whole adult life and now she is his ex-wife. He is completely oblivious of Ruby. She is an American working in London in the same office as Niall. Ruby has been attracted to Niall since she started her internship. He barely notices her until they are put together on a business trip to NYC. This is where Ruby expresses herself to Niall. And, this is where Niall is still affected by his rigid, unemotional, scheduled sexual relationship with his ex-wife, Portia, that he is reserved and awkward around Ruby. It is a great story between these two very different characters. I found it to be charming, exciting and a great love story.

Perfect. A perfect book. so easy to love and get invested in the chAracters. Their chemistry is perfectly written to make you feeeel everything!

Omg yes. I thought that I love Max and Will, then Niall came along. So freaking good!

Patience. Niall and Ruby a very slow paced read. The best part of this book is the ending. It took forever to read this. Ruby was real and never held back her feelings. She was an open book and that just overwhelmed Niall. He was divorced but he is the true and dedicated type not use to diversity. But this story meshed together towards the end. My heart was with both of them. Patience was Niall's friend and things just fell into place. Love is powerful for these two.

Love Niall!!!. Thank you for yet another favorite book!!!

Sumptuous!. Another Wow factor! Seriously full of wild hotness & bone chilling sweetness of both Niall & Ruby's character! Hope there will be a continuation on this book.

Another great Christina Lauren book!. Confession: I read Beautiful Bastard two years ago when it came out and since then I have been hoarding all the books in this series instead of reading them.. UNTIL Beautiful Secret came to my Kindle. Niall Stella peeked my interest so much that I decided to skip all the other books and novellas in this series to read this next. Good news! You can read this book out of order and not feel left out of the loop. Yes other characters (Bennett, sigh) show up briefly but you are still good to jump right in and read Niall and Ruby's story. Beautiful Secret is so different than what I was expecting that I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Sad, when a male character in a book is such a gentleman that it throws me, lol. Niall Stella was delicious. I really enjoyed his kind of stuffed-shirt personality and the references Ruby makes that compare him to Mr. Darcy (double sigh). Christina Lauren did a fantastic job of creating a story with incredible sexual tension, great dialogue and very memorable characters and flipped it all on its head. Niall and Ruby are not what you expect, their roles are unique and play such a fun part in this story. I know, I know you are rolling your eyes and saying "Boss + intern is not new", but THIS one is! I won't tell you why it is different, that is half the fun, but trust me you haven't read a romance novel quite like this one! I love Christina Lauren, the Wild Seasons series, is one of my favorite series ever, so I knew picking this up it was going to be a great story with tasty characters. What surprised me was that level of heat in this book. Yes, this book has great chemistry and tension (and great sexy flirting) but it wasn't as filthy and/or dirty as some of their other books, which fits this story line perfectly, so no complaints from me on that. Beautiful Secret had me turning pages until the Kindle hit me in the face (meaning I fell asleep reading) and once that humiliation abated I dove right back in and read until there was no more story left to read. While Ruby made me crazy toward the end of the book, I loved that she sticks to her guns and knows what she is worth. Niall, poor sweet, Niall. I loved you and you frustrated me to no end! Niall's character was refreshing to read, but sometimes he almost came off as too naive and too restrained. However, never doubt the brilliance that is Christina Lauren, every personality trait, quirk and overthinking tendency had a reason and that reason made for a delightful story that reminded me why I love reading Christina Lauren stories. Beautiful Secret was a great read, whether you are a fan of this series or not, I recommend picking this up to meet Niall, a real gentleman in the world of crazed alpha males.

Why did it have to end???. I'm not a reader, but I finished the book in 2 short days. I couldn't put this book down! I can't wait to read more from the author! I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END!

This Beautiful series is just beautiful!. 3.5 stars! I have read and enjoyed this entire series; they are all unique, with intriguing characters and couples that speak to me in different ways. Of all the male leads in this series, Niall is the most complex. I loved the comparison to Mr. Darcy, as he evokes that quiet, reserved and brooding male character that is stoic in this emotions, and guarded with his affections. Ruby on the other hand is bright, lively, exuberant and insightful; she has connected with Niall in a way that no other woman has (not even his ex wife), and though that excited him, it also scares him to death. Again, like Mr. Darcy, Niall woos and courts Ruby, and the intimacy that they do share is intense and passionate. Niall makes some mistakes along the way that lead to the angst and drama of the story, but in the end, it all comes together. I hope that we get to see more of them and the whole beautiful gang in some kind of wrap up, as I'm not ready to leave this series just yet.

Bloody Brilliant!. Another amazing book!! Can't wait for the next one 😍😁😜😊

Not my favorite couple of the series.... Review originally posted on Reading Books Like a Boss You have the pleasure of meeting Niall Stella in Beautiful Beloved (Max and Sara's novella). He's self-possessed and collected and says more things to himself than he does to other people. Here's how Ruby described him: "There was this quiet confidence about him, a way he carried himself that demanded attention and respect, and a feeling that while he wasn't talking, he was watching everything, noticing everyone. Everyone, except me." At thirty, he is recently divorced from the woman who was his first everything. He's also a high-powered urban planning vice president at Richardson-Corbett Consulting. Ruby Miller is a twenty-three year old engineer interning the same firm in hopes of getting a highly coveted spot in Oxford's civil engineering program. Ruby has a massive crush on Niall that has been simmering for months and months. And her self-control is put to the test when Ruby's boss sends her on a month-long business trip with the sexy Niall Stella. "Startled, Niall Stella took a step back, nearly stumbling into the open doorway, which, coincidentally, was right next to mine. Sharing a wall . . . maybe even a bathroom . . . where he showered . . . naked." I'd heard that this book would give readers a little tie-in to Christina Lauren's Wild Seasons series. I totally loved the tie-in. I didn't hate this book, but I didn't exactly love it either. I have mixed feelings. I didn't warm up to Niall Stella. His British accent is super dreamy and I melted every time he called Ruby darling, but I didn't fall in love with him like I did the other Beautiful Bastard men. Ruby's constant reminders in the beginning of the book about how much she's pined for Niall was over the top. Once he admits that he's attracted to her, she lays the flirting on thick, making it her mission to seduce him into sleeping with her. While Niall is reluctant to take things really slowly considering his recently-divorced status. I didn't like the way that Niall was portrayed as this kind of virginal non-virgin man who has "never done that before." I feel like there is so much the authors could have mined so much from his back story and position of authority over Ruby instead of what they did. I just didn't click with Ruby and Niall as a couple unfortunately. 2.5 stars *I received an advanced copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing!. This story grabs ahold of you and you cannot let go. I love all of the books.

Meh. Not Christina Lauren's best book. I like dominant male characters and this guy was the opposite. I ended up just thumbing through to the end.

My Favorite Chris Lau Book So Far!. I read it in a matter of hours! It's refreshing to see a bit of a different story where the man in the relationship is the vulnerable and inexperienced one! Love me some Niall Stella!

Beautiful Secret. Loved loved it!!! Such a fun and playful book. Couldn’t put it down.

Fantastic. I loved this book!

Beautiful. Encore!

Killed it…as usual. These two women, I'm telling you, know how to write a great story. Every. Single. Time. I binged through Beautiful Secret in a single night and couldn't have been happier. Some of the greatest dialogue, fantastic character profiles, and full of some of the best written wit. I pray this series never ends! You won't be disappointed, they top my list of sexy and fun novels that I can reread countless times. Go buy every single book you can get your hands on!!

Lovely. Not sure how I managed to read the whole book in a day (I guess I loved it that much) this story was a bit different for me than the others in the series and I love it:) I hope to be reading more about Niall & Ruby

Excellent read. I have read all of the Christina Lauren books. I thought this the most well written one so far. Enjoy!

Ok ok. Good book but most definitely the weakest in the series. Niall is ... kind of annoying ... although I like Ruby's character but can't see them together.

Beautiful. All the books in the beautiful series are just that. Beautiful. You feel every characters emotions and you don't want the book to end.

Excellent!. Love love love all the books in the Beautiful series and Beautiful Secret did not disappoint! I loved the storyline and the characters and I am pleased they introduced us to Niall and Ruby. The only criticism I have is that it ended!!!! More please!!!!!!

Beautiful secret. Loved this book love this writing duo can't wait till the next one they just don't come quick enough for me get writing you 2 need the next one quick

Overrated. After reading a few books from this series I found this one disappointing. Its a bit boring and hard to grasp with all those own thoughts from the characters. His character is unbelievable in a negative way. No men in the world is so obtuse, shy yes, but the character does not scream shy if it is what the authors wanted to convey.

Beautiful Secret. As a fan of the other 'beautiful' books, I was really looking forward to this- the teaser had me enthralled. Sadly though I just couldn't get Niall, I just found him a bit weak and didn't buy in to him being with Ruby.

A great read. Loved it. They just keep getting better. Could not put it down. Quinny

One of the best!!. Easily one of the best books in the series!! Absolutely loved it.

Worth the money and more. They cost a lot but they are so worth it. I buy the books and then listen to the audio (because the accents are so worth it). These ladies need an award, they stand out of the crowd when they produce a book. Worth the money as you will read it a few times.

My favourite book ever!!. I honestly love it so much I’ve re read it like a million times

Beautiful secret. Omg loved loved loved it !! Keep the books coming

Well done. Another great read ladies. Keep them coming!!

Hard not to love!!. Worst thing about this book is that I loved it so much I finished it too quickly. Ladies, I love your books. Can't wait for the next one! Keep them coming.

I love. I love this series and like all other pairings Niall and ruby are no exception

excellent!!It 1st book bought from these authors. I loved this book, the characters! I couldn't put down. I didn't realise this was series when purchased book. I hope they have another book with Ruby & Niall☺️📖!! But I will now buy the other books series! Great writing, the story drawn you in & it was great, but wishing read more about them 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful Secret. Well, as always I really like this book But not as much as the other Beautiful books because I have a hard time dealing with someone who is hot and cold and really Niall is fairly anxious. Having said that, I think you did a great job of writing the love story around the state of mind he is/was in. But he is not a Will or Finn...for me anyway. Well done ladies!

Beautiful Secret. Love the Beautiful series! Niall was probably the first male character who wasn't a strong alpha male but loved him anyway. He was indecisive and hot & cold at times but Ruby was great. She was fun, funny and quirky. Can't wait to read more.
