Like books in the Beautiful series, all of the Wild Seasons books to date have hit the New York Times list. Lauren has been praised for writing delectable heroes and strong-willed heroines to match. The series centers on a group of friends following graduation from college. The first novel of the series, Sweet Filthy Boy, earned the Romantic Times Book of the Year award for 2014. The second series by the authors debuted in 2014.
The rights later reverted to the authors.
In 2013, Beautiful Bastard was optioned by Constantin Film for a film adaptation. Together, they present workshops and have been speakers at events such as RT Booklovers Convention, Book Expo of America (BEA), and Romance Writers of America (RWA), and are frequent guests at San Diego Comic-Con International. Īuthor of eighteen New York Times Bestselling novels, their work is currently translated in over 30 languages. In 2017, Holly Root founded Root Literary. The pair met in 2009 while writing fanfiction online, and, in 2010, became co-authors, signing agent Holly Root from the Waxman-Leavell Literary Agency in 2011. It’s a fun, swoon story and they’re having a good time reading it.Beautiful Bastard series, Wild Seasons seriesĬhristina Lauren (the combined pen name of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings) is an American author duo of contemporary fiction, teen fiction and romance novels. With Stranger, which is completely original, I think most people, at least as far as I can see, just really love it. People who come into it not really knowing the background, I think they think it’s fun. The point is that people who really don’t like the book tend to be the ones that also have strong feelings about the origin and don’t really see it for being separate from the original. With our deal, we had some of that same reaction because people felt that we were exploiting them in some sense. So people had a lot of feelings about that. And it was the first one to hit it huge, obviously. It wasn’t the first one to publish, but it was the first really big one. What happened was when Fifty Shades of Grey published, there was a lot of backlash because that was the first really big one.
It didn’t have that much of a connection to the original work. Those are the ones that are in more of a gray area. The thing about fic is that there’s a whole world of fic out there that has writers that explored their own ability to write things, but it really had no root in the Twilight world. And I think that is sort of where it gets a little sticky. A lot of fan fiction out there, it either has a root in the sort of vampire world of Twilight or it has the same emotional beat as Twilight: the stalker-y male, the demure, shy female.
