Title: Beautiful Monster by Sara Cate
Genre: Age Gap/Forbidden Romance
About the Book: Playboy. Socialite. Wicked. All of these things describe Alexander Caldwell. He needs to settle down and his house in the suburbs has plenty of mature women who can fill the quota. But why is he drawn to a teenage girl?
Review: Beautiful Monster was steamy, heartfelt, emotional, and taught us about overcoming triumph. It was a quick read for me but there was so much packed into one story. I loved the writing style and the feel of the characters.
