“…How approachable and easy Christina and Lauren were to work with! They both really embraced the conference and the delegates, were warm and funny with everyone they interacted with and really added a lot to Trope Actually. Thank you both Lauren and Christina, and Kristin (their PR representative). Lauren and Christina were great to work with, and added a huge amount of knowledge, warmth and fun to the Trope Actually conference!” — Romance Writers of Australia – Trope Actually Conference, 2024
“Christina (and) Lauren’s expertise is matched only by their warmth and generosity. I’ve never laughed so hard while learning.” — Flinders University, 2024
“We had a great time hosting Christina Lauren! They were so nice and very generous with their time while they were here. I had so many comments from staff the next day about how down-to-earth they seemed and that they were very approachable, and I will second that opinion. The discussion during our event was very conversational and fun and that audience highly engaged, including the few attendees who were unfamiliar with their books. The signing seemed like second nature to them, with them being able to chat and take photos with patrons while we kept the line moving. I’ll add that as another testament to the time they take with fans; no one seemed rushed in their interactions. It was an overall wonderful experience!” — Largo Public Library, 2024
“It was great working with Christina and Lauren! They had an energetic dynamic that encouraged participation from our patrons. They took time to connect before the event and used the insight to tailor the event to our library’s current initiatives. I found Lauren’s responses to the patron’s question very thoughtful and made our patrons feel heard. With a virtual webinar format, it can be challenging to connect with patrons, but Christina and Lauren bring the energy and presence to counteract the challenges.” — NCW Libraries, 2022
“This exhilarating, fast-paced, deeply emotional and sexy romance is required beach reading.” — Oprah Daily
“Something Wilder is magnificent. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a book — laugh out loud humor, rollicking adventure, and the swooniest romance. A perfect read!” — Sarah MacLean, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Day of the Duchess and The Rogue Not Taken
“The name Christina Lauren (a portmanteau for the writing team of Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings) is beloved by romance readers (and publishers) having become synonymous with sure-fire hits year after year. Dubbed by many advance copy readers as a sexier version of the movie National Treasure, heroine Lily uses the old, hand-drawn, fake treasure maps as a way to guide tourists on tours through the red rock canyons of Utah. But what if those supposedly fake treasure maps weren’t so fake after all?” — Fortune
