The witty repartee of the H and h were the best. This is the only time it seemed a little superfluous to me. I think this author does a great job of making her sex scene's "fit" the plot and the characters. Instead it seemed like the story ended and then the author added in one more sex scene. My only tiny complaint was this - the ending didn't seem true to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was so glad to be reassured that these two characters I had grown so fond of would continue on in their dysfunctional but loving way. It was exactly the messed up, hilarious, sexy, catastrophe that only Chloe and Ben could have. I was worried that if it was about their wedding, sap was bound to leak in somewhere. So I was somewhat reluctant to read the continuation of the Bastard's story. The follow-ups introducing other characters were OK to good, but never lived up to the original. Whoever decided love had to be continually sad and angst filled is crazy.
It was sexy, had a great hook and most importantly - it was hilarious. It embraced their quirks and made their inability to communicate calmly and effectively with each other actually work well for them. It didn't wallow in the characters problems,or weaknesses or tragic backgrounds. It was never sappy, the heroine was upfront and said what she meant, even to her own detriment and there was no angst and no prevarication. Certainly one of the best romance books I have ever read. I thought Beautiful Bastard was one of the best books I have read in a long time.
