Banana Books Romance Writers - An Interview

Do you read banana books? Do you even know what they are?

Well, it isn’t a total secret that Stephanie and I are both avid readers of banana books (aka erotic romance reads). In fact, I think we even manage to talk about it in every single podcast we do. Angie though isn’t a romance novel lover like us, but she has to listen to our stories anyway!

We totally love these books and that’s why we’ve invited two of our favorite banana book authors. Christina Lauren is the combined pen name of longtime writing partners Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. They are New York Times, USA Today, and #1 international bestselling authors of the Beautiful and Wild Seasons series, The House, Dating You/Hating You, the critically acclaimed Autoboyography, Love and Other Words, The Unhoneymooners and more. Their latest novel, In A Holidaze, was released October 6th.

Get to know more about the authors behind the books we love.
