This is because the few NA titles I’ve read, along with a book in this series ( WSL), are shared from the alternating first person POVs of the hero and heroine. The one thing that threw me a bit and surprised me is that the story was only shared from the first person POV of the book’s heroine, Mia. The authors are skilled at sharing deep emotions without telling or preaching. While I thought I knew what would be the major bump in the road, I was still surprised when it happened, leading my heart to fall to pieces along with Mia’s. Their romance is exquisite: equal parts lust, heartache, and love. However, the couple learns to share and open up though cos-play and scenes, which leads to some uber sexy moments. In fact, the awkwardness is horrifying at times and my heart hurts for the pair. But the trip over isn’t romantic in the least (and is in fact, one of the most laughable, horrible situations), and there is a huge strain between the pair once they arrive at Ansel’s home. Mia and Ansel have a whirlwind, lust-driven weekend in Vegas, which leads to her following him to Paris for the summer. However, I didn’t know their history and story, other than a few small details, so no spoilers to ruin the enjoyment of the journey.

Having started with the fourth book in the series, I was already familiar with main couple featured in Sweet Filthy Boy. So I decided to pick up the first book, Sweet Filthy Boy, on my kindle, and I’m so glad that I did.

Having recently listened to and LOVING the audiobook of Wicked Sexy Liar ( WSL), the fourth book in Christina Lauren’s NA series about recent UCSD grads, I found myself compelled to get more of these characters and their stories.
