The Team
Krystal & Lauren
We’ve been friends for over a decade and books have always been a big part of it! We worked together as consultants for a children’s book publisher for a few years, before stepping away to focus on our families. Now we spend our days reading closed-door romance books, talking about them together, and co-hosting book clubs and events on our Happily Ever Readers Instagram page: @happilyeverreaders.
After years of reading and hyping closed-door romance authors, we want to help launch closed-door romance to new heights!
