For those panting to get their hands on the next novel in the series, the authors punctuate their publications with shorter novellas that succeed in whetting the appetite before the next major book. Cleverly, the writers often introduce a minor character into their plots, who then appears later in the series as a major protagonist. The audience for these books, like their authors, is the young adult market. Now the successful authors of a series of novels all prefixed by the word beautiful, these ladies have concocted a formula of steamy sex, passion and romance that leaves their readers gagging for more. Working with the authors, publishers Schuster and Schuster changed the title from ‘The Office’ to ‘Beautiful Bastard’ and a brand was born. These two young American authors began their careers writing for a fan fiction site before their novel ‘The Office’ was picked up by a major publisher. Describing themselves as besties, soul mates and brain twins, it is the pseudonym of two friends, Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. Author Christina Lauren is in fact a meeting of minds. For those who enjoy their romantic fiction peppered with more than a touch of eroticism, the ‘Beautiful’ series of books by Christina Lauren, could have been written for you.
