Beautiful Books!

January 28, 2013 Christina 28 Comments

Some of you may know we were in Vegas together in December.

Christina Lauren (Lauren Billings, Christina Hobbs)
This is us! (Lauren on left, Christina on right)

What were we doing, you ask? Well, besides not so patiently sitting on a bench waiting for the La Perla at Caesars to open, we were finalizing the draft of our second book, Beautiful Stranger. And here it is!

Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, Christina Lauren
DON’T THEY LOOK GOOD TOGETHER? HOT DAMN.

A charming British playboy.
A  girl determined to finally live.
And a secret liaison revealed in all too vivid color.

British Playboy? SIGN US UP! Despite the crazy deadline, writing this was So. Much. Fun. Seriously, we can’t wait to share it with you guys. Beautiful Bastard hits stores February 12th, with Beautiful Stranger right behind on May 28th. You can pre-order both now and we’ll even bring you cookies. Promise.

AAAAND…

So much crazyexcitingpants stuff coming up, including the Beautiful Bastard audiobook! RIGHT?? Someone to read you our dirty little book. How insane is that? Be watching facebook where we’ll be releasing clips leading up to a certain . . . steamy conference room scene on Valentines Day. AND an epic giveaway. EPIC. This thing is so epic we’re actually considering fake names so we can enter . . . WE MEAN OF COURSE NOT. FORGET THAT PART.

And don’t forget to check out our giveaways page where you can win copies of BB and even some pretty La Perla of your very own. More soon!

LOVE YOU GUYS!

    How am I going to get any work done now that I’ve seen this? Forget it. And I love the cover for Beautiful Stranger. I have no idea how you managed to have a second cover that lives up to the hotness of the Beautiful Bastard cover, but you totally did. I can’t wait to have copies of both in my greedy little hands. xoxo

    Christina and Lauren- Thanks so much for the awesome entertainment. I just got done reading Beautiful Bastard and it was great fun. Finished it in 4 hours b/c I just couldn’t stop! I can’t wait for Beautiful Stranger in May. Please keep writing tons more, and thanks again for sharing your talent!

    Dear Christina Lauren: I would like to send you a heartfelt “thanks” for your gift of a Beautiful Bastard. I love your characters (flaws and all!), loved that they didn’t have such dark pasts/angst/baggage to bring along. This was pure love, hate, sensuality and passionate emotions. I am already clamoring for the next installment!

    What about Chicago, any visits soon? & wait so Beautiful Stranger is not about Bennett and Chloe? Only curious, I am most certain I will still be enjoying the book either way.

    By the way, very irresponsible of me but I did only allow myself to get one hour and forty-five minutes of sleep before heading to work in the early morning. Couldn’t stop reading and may I say, very well worth the pain my body will put me through. Thanks for this thrilling entertainment!

    Loved, loved, loved BB!!! The Office was my first fanfic read and it is still my favorite but I love BB even more. I was heartbroken when you took down your blog and stopped writing fanfic but the wait has been totally worth it. Can’t wait to read Beautiful Stranger and hopefully more books in the future!

    I LOVED your book. I couldn’t put it down. I hope Beautiful Stranger is a sequel to Bennett and Chloe. I adored them. I can’t wait for your next book!

    I was hoping for more about Chloe and Bennett. What happened? Now they are engaged or not? I feel like it has jumped ahead too far, too soon. But I will enjoy it either way. I just was hoping for the continuation of the two character from the first book since it is suppose to be a sequel book. I did not want to have something like what Sylvia Day did for the Gregorian serious she wrote. Stories were not completed (it ended so well and I was looking forward to the continuation). I am a little sad now. But I am sure it will be great.

    BB is great! i read it in nights. I loved the banter between Bennet and Chloe. What i loved most was Bennets realization of his feeling for Chloe. it was great, i laughed alot and became teary eyed at times too. it was a fun read! I am def ordering the second book.

    Thank you very much for this book – it was incredible and I struggled to put it down (and give my kids and hubby attention – smile). I had to sneak away in the bathroom just to have quiet time to read it. I can’t wait for the next book, but I would ALSO like to see how Chloe and Bennett are getting along in their new roles!!! Congrats on your success!

    How many pages in BB?? ’cause i think i read a shorter version of it… don’t know… those books looks so much thicker than 125 pages. Maybe I’m wrong. Pleaaaseee I want to know what happened with Bennett and Chloe, you have to write more about them!!! 🙂
