Publisher's summary

Nineteen-year-old Tempest Jackson wants a baby.

No, her biological clock isn't ticking, but she's desperate for unconditional love. Rejected by all except her brother and soon to be married off by her father for financial gain, she aches for someone to hold close and call hers.

Enter Ledger Thorne. Soccer god, devastatingly handsome, and her brother's rival. Once upon a time they had a thing. A beautiful thing. But while Tempest thought she was madly in love, Ledger was only using her for petty revenge.

So Tempest has a plan: seduce the sexy jerk who broke her heart, use him to get pregnant, and then leave him in the dust like he left her, to marry a stranger.

Only the problem with making babies is that it doesn't feel like revenge. It feels a lot like that thing they used to have: Hot and stormy, and intense and intimate.

But Tempest isn't a fool. She'll stick to the plan. Because wasn't it Ledger who turned their beautiful thing into something ugly? Now, it's her turn....

Contains mature themes.

A spicy roller coaster

Oh my gosh, I don’t think I could have been more caught up in You Beautiful Thing You, than I was. The whole book was an absolute roller coaster of emotions, from hate to lust to love. I wondered if this was gonna be spicy, and oh man was it ever. In high school, Tempest had a crush on her brother soccer enemy, Ledger . She never expected for him to return her feelings. And years later when she was put in to a desperate situation by her father she knew that she wanted a piece of Ledger to take with her. There was so much emotion in this book and it truly pulled me in and I had no choice but devour this book in one sitting. There’s a lot of twist, turns and back and forth, I was on the edge the entire book. I’m just glad I got my HEA.
Amelie Griffin was the perfect Tempest, she really stepped in to Tempest’s character perfectly. And Alex Kydd was an excellent Ledger, she was broody and moody.

You Beautiful Thing, You - Saffron A Kent

⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This was an absolute dumpster fire of a book 😳. I wanted to DNF but I literally couldn’t stop listening because of how ridiculous it was.

* Tempest the FMC is only 19 so it makes sense how immature &unthought out all her thoughts are. Ledger is even worse. Someone needs therapy &anger management. I totally understand the alpha type guy but bro you’re still a baby, calm down.

* The whole reasoning &trapping for a baby was just 🤯. Then both of the main characters are calling them 3 (Ledger, Tempest, &baby) a family when they just got intimate 2 minutes ago, like he knows he got her pregnant 🤦🏻‍♀️. Then Tempest is worried something’s wrong with her since she didn’t get pregnant on the first try &that Ledger should find someone else if she can’t have a baby. Talk about dramatic 🙄. Then Ledger is over here saying how he’s not the guy for her. Tempest doesn’t want him. It was necessary to have her sign the papers to cool his jealousy down 🙄🙄🙄 (I’m being vague to avoid spoilers). She would then provoke Ledger &then doesn’t understand why he’s mad.

* The entire book was all just toxic &immature. The characters were messy &all over the place. Read this if that’s what you’re looking for.

Themes:
* Stalking
* Bully romance
* Soccer romance
* Her brother’s rival
