How Wild Seasons Began
Christina Lauren, the pen name of writing partners Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings, crafted Wild Seasons after their success with the Beautiful Bastard series. Inspired by their love for vibrant characters and real emotions, they began plotting the first book, Sweet Filthy Boy, in Paris in 2013. The idea? Explore what happens when spontaneous decisions—like drunken Vegas marriages—lead to unexpected love. Their collaborative chemistry and knack for blending humor with heat brought this addictive series to life, debuting in 2014.
The Heart of Wild Seasons
The Wild Seasons series spans four main novels, each focusing on a different couple navigating love’s highs and lows. Sweet Filthy Boy (2014) follows Mia Holland, who follows her Vegas fling, Ansel Guillaume, to France for a summer of passion and self-discovery. Dirty Rowdy Thing (2014) dives into the fiery, antagonistic chemistry between Harlow Vega and Finn Roberts, whose brief marriage doesn’t stop their steamy reunions. Dark Wild Night (2015), a fan favorite, explores the friends-to-lovers journey of Lola and Oliver, whose Vegas connection deepens into something more. Finally, Wicked Sexy Liar (2016) pairs London Hughes with Luke Sutter, blending playful flirtation with emotional growth.
Themes of love, trust, and personal growth weave through each book, set against vivid backdrops like Las Vegas’s electric nights and Paris’s romantic streets.
