  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. Add To Goodreads Graduation should have been a dream come true for Mia Holland. But instead it just reminded her that her life is not yet her own. She is still weighed down by the unrealistic expectations of her demanding father and feels helpless to change any of it. A wild weekend in Vegas with her best friends, Harlow and Lola is just what she needs to forget it all but when she meets a beautiful French boy named Ansel – her world is changed forever. “I want to love all of my life as much as I love this night.” Mia wakes up to find that she has bound herself to a stranger – but a stranger that she somehow feels connected to on every level. Following him home to Paris may not be wisest choice, but for once she is going to really experience all of life and the consequences be damned. “What we know is dimly lit bars, playful banter, the clean, crisp sheets of hotel rooms. What we know is the unrequited possibility, the temptation of the idea. The make-believe. The adventure. She never expects Ansel to weave his way into her heart and what began as just a fling for the summer, becomes something that she can’t imagine living without. With their time running out and the real world crashing in, will they be able to hold on to what has become a love of a lifetime? “I’d be your slave,” he whispers, sliding two fingers into me. Give me nothing but this and your mouth and your quiet words and I’d be your slave, Cerise.” Move over book boyfriends of the world - Ansel Guillaume is here to take your crown! But Sweet Filthy Boy is so much more than just a blazing hot love story – it’s about finding your true self no matter how frightening the journey may be. It’s about the healing power of friendship and falling deeply in love for the very first time – and it’s about truly embracing your life – mistakes and all. Mia was by far my favourite Christina Lauren heroine with all of her whip-smart humor and hidden strength and Ansel –Oh my! I will never look at Paris quite the same way again… Rating: About The Authors - Lauren Billings (but everyone calls her Lo) has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and before she made writing her full-time job, would spend her days doing nerdy research-type things wearing a lab coat and goggles. She is silly Mommy to two littles, wife to one mountain biking homebrewing scientist, bestie to a shoe-stealer, and an unabashed lover of YA and romance. Christina Hobbs (but you’ll always hear Lo call her PQ) used to spend her days in a junior high counseling office surrounded by teenagers. Married to the cutest boy in school, she has a thirteen year old daughter, is an unapologetic lover of boy bands and glitter, and also likes to steal Lo’s shoes.
