Sweet Filthy Boy (Wild Seasons, #1)
Christina Lauren
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 just…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.

Really enjoy Christina Lauren's characters and writing!
The sex is super steamy hot, the tension is fantastic, and the characters development of feelings always feels very real to me.
This book's plot is a little silly: Mia meets Ansel in Vegas and they get crazy drunk and get married. Instead of immediately getting an annulment like her friends, Mia agrees with Ansel not to, and then she talks herself into going to France (where he lives) for the summer before she starts school.
Of course they fall in love, he's been keeping a secret, she's not been the more forthcoming ever, she leaves and they make up and HEA.
Mia seems really responsible at first, so there are a lot of moments throughout this book where she's "doing something out of character" but THIS IS THE WHOLE BOOK! We rarely see the "normal" Mia and therefore have to just take it on faith.
Ansel is great, but I never felt like we really got to know him the same way we got to know the male characters in the Beautiful Bastard series. Bummer.
Thought it was really obvious that Perry was going to be a woman who Ansel had been involved with. Wasn't surprised at all about this big twist.
2019 read: I forgot how much sex was in this book. I mean, there was way more than I remembered, and I was surprised at how little not-sex was in between!
