Synopsis
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…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.

Review
Do you ever just read a book that makes you happy? This doesn’t happen to me too often, and it is almost always with romance books. Sweet Filthy Boy was one of those books. And to top it off, it had probably my least favorite trope ever (insta-love), and I still loved it. I really shouldn’t be that surprised, though, since it’s by Christina Lauren.
This book is relatively simple; there is a little drama, but not too much. It is more about two people learning to love each other. As well as Mia finding herself. I think that is what I loved most: these two people made each other better and made them realize what they wanted.
On another note, let me tell you Sweet Filthy Boy is right. It is sweet and very filthy. If you’ve read recent Christina Lauren books, this one will probably shock you. Their more recent books are not this steamy. I, for one, was a fan of the steam, but I know it’s not for everyone. (Side note: if you like steam, I recommend Beautiful Bastard by them). However, even with the steam, it is still at its heart a Christina Lauren book, so you will be smiling as you read this one.
I loved this book, and I am so happy it’s series. I will be reading the rest of them, especially since one of the audiobooks is narrated by Shane East (sigh).
