Just Gotta Say by Laura Kaye Video Release…… & giveaway

I am pleased to present the debut of Laura Kaye’s video for her upcoming release 
Just Gotta Say (Release date Sept 30th)……. Enjoy




JUST GOTTA SAY By Laura Kaye                          BLURB:
Callie Davis stumbles upon two of her three male roommates in a surprising, molten-hot midnight tryst and discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. Desire to play with them grips her, and she can’t stop fantasizing about having multiple men, particularly her three long-time best friends.
Callie is thrilled when a guys’ night out gives her the perfect opportunity to recreate her fantasy, with the help of a threesome porn video and a bag of sex toys. That is, until Lucas, Jack and Noah return early and catch her in the act. More than anything, the guys want to make her fantasy come true. But Callie has a secret, and she can’t help wondering if being with all three men will risk the future she’s always wanted with one of them.
As three strong sets of hands caress and undress her, Callie surrenders to desire, because sometimes you just gotta say…yes.



EXCERPT:

Broad, muscular chests and hot, male flesh surrounded her. She swallowed as her gaze raked over each of the men. They were all hers for the taking. At least for tonight. And she was damn sure going to make the most of it.
Heaving a deep breath, she drew her stare from the men’s bodies and crossed her arms over her breasts. “Now,” she said. She winked at Lucas and nailed Jack with a stern gaze. “You said I could have whatever I wanted, right?”
He grinned and nodded.
She waggled her finger between Jack and Noah. “Then I expect to see you two enjoying one another, too.”
All three men went still.
She giggled at the flummoxed expression on Jack’s face. It was nearly impossible to embarrass him or catch him off guard. She grabbed Noah’s hand and pulled him closer.
“What do you think started all this anyway? I wasn’t so obsessed with this particular fantasy until I saw the two of you together last weekend.”
The boys traded glances, mouths gaping, eyes guarded.
“Next time, shut your door. Otherwise, I am so gonna watch that shit.”
At her words, Jack’s expression grew amused and his cheeks flushed.
Callie looked at Lucas. “Do you mind?”
He shook his head. “Whatever you want.” He met Jack’s gaze then Noah’s. “I don’t mind.”
She pecked Lucas’s cheek. She knew he’d be cool about them. “So, it’s settled.”
“Thank fuck,” Noah muttered. His curse surprised her almost as much as the desperation with which he clutched Jack and planted an aggressive kiss on his open mouth.
Holy mother of kissing men! Callie turned so she could see them better and leaned back against Lucas’s huge, hard chest. His warm fingers skimmed up her stomach and cupped her full breasts.
“Watching them turns you on?” he murmured against her ear.
The guys were so forceful with each other, and now that they didn’t have to hide themselves, their passion burst uncontrollably from them. Masculine hands tugged hair. Bare, muscled chests pressed and rubbed. Erections ground together through denim.
“Yeah,” she rasped.
“How about this?” Lucas asked and thrust himself against her bottom as his fingers plucked at her nipples.
She whimpered. “Yes.”
“What else?”
“I want to see them naked,” she whispered.
“Say it louder.”
Callie swallowed. God, his commanding tone was sexy as hell. “I want to see them naked.”

To Celebrate National Talk In Elevator Day, I am hosting an Interview & 2 (yes 2!) Giveaways with Laura Kaye

[See down below for TWO separate giveaway opportunities!]


Kelly: I walk into the building and head towards the elevator. I hit the button and wait.  The elevator doors open, and I walk in, hit the button to the top floor. The doors close and someone taps me on the shoulder *GASP* I whirl around and see Laura Kaye laughing at me…

Kelly: Good Lord, give a girl a heart attack much? *gasping for air, trying to slow my heart down* 

Laura: Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you, Kelly! Gee, I sure hope you’re not scared of elevators. I just wanted to say hi.

Kelly: *laughs* Well, hello yourself! Thanks for doing this interview today with For the Love of Books. But, Laura, what you are doing in the elevator?  I thought we were meeting up on the top floor?

Laura: Change of venue! Today is National Talk in an Elevator Day, so it seems more appropriate to meet here, don’t you think?

Kelly: Alright then, let’s talk about Hearts in Darkness.

Laura: I’d love to! Hearts in Darkness is my debut contemporary romance about two strangers who find acceptance and dare to find love while trapped for four hours in a pitch-black elevator. Here’s the blurb:

Makenna James thinks her day can’t get any worse, until she finds herself stuck in a pitch-black elevator with a complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call and juggling too much stuff, the pin-striped accountant caught only a glimpse of a dragon tattoo on his hand before the lights went out.


Caden Grayson is amused when a redhead literally falls at his feet. His amusement turns to panic when the power fails. Despite his piercings, tats, and vicious scar, he’s terrified of the dark and confined spaces. Now, he’s trapped in his own worst nightmare.

To fight fear, they must both reach out and open up. With no preconceived notions based on looks to hold them back, they discover just how much they have in common. In the warming darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will they feel the same when the lights come back on?


Kelly: How did you come up with this story?

Laura: Two things provided inspiration for this story. First, I work in a building where the elevator fails. A lot. I’ve only been stuck in it once, for about a minute, but it’s not unusual for it to stop working every couple weeks. Second, I was playing the “what if” game with myself—a great source of story inspiration—and asked What if two opposites got trapped together somewhere? And what if one of them was claustrophobic or scared of the dark? It all clicked together pretty quick after that!

Kelly: *looks around* Do you know why this elevator is taking so long?

Laura: *shrugs* I’m sure it’ll start up sooner or later. Don’t worry. Shouldn’t be more than, oh, four hours to so…

Kelly: Hmm. Too bad Caden’s not here, then. *blushes*

Laura: *chuckles and nods* Amen to that. *long, dreamy sigh*

Kelly: Have we seen the last of Caden & MJ?

Laura: How about a really unhelpful answer? *laughs* Probably! I definitely plan to write a free read that will be available through my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, but I probably will not write any additional novella-length stories about them. Sorta pains me to say that, but I’m pretty certain their story’s told.

Kelly: Tell me a little about your other books Forever Freed and Just Gotta Say.

Laura: *sits down* Might as well get comfortable. *Kelly sits too* 

Well, Forever Freed is my debut paranormal romance, novel-length, about a reclusive, empathic vampire who falls in love with the woman he planned to kill and her young daughter, then must fight his ancient guilt, bloodlust, lie by omission and an old vampire rival that threatens everything he holds dear. It was the first novel I wrote and the first I sold, and will always hold a special place in my heart! 
Just Gotta Say is my debut erotic romance. It’s a contemporary ménage a quatres about a woman who plays out a particular fantasy with her guy roommates, hoping that being with all of them won’t jeopardize her long-term chance of being with the one she wants the most. Forever Freed is available now in print and ebook, and Just Gotta Say will be out in the early fall as an ebook.


Kelly: So Hearts in Darkness is Contemporary, Forever Freed is Paranormal and Just Gotta Say is Erotic. Which genre is your favorite to write?


Laura: My first love is paranormal romance. It’s what I most love to read and most identify with as a writer. However, I enjoy writing in multiple genres. I never sit down to write one or the other—the characters appear in my head, start talking to me, and as I get to know them, the type of story emerges. I have two series releasing late this year, and they’re both paranormal (one’s a contemporary fantasy romance based on Greek mythology, and the other’s a dark paranormal story that takes me back to my vampire roots!).

Kelly: *I still don’t think we’ve moved. Really must be trapped. Gulp* What are you currently working on?

Laura: Right now, I’m working on book two in my Hearts of the Anemoi series, a four-book contemporary fantasy romance series about directional wind gods the Greeks associated with the seasons. Book 1, called North of Need, releases on November 1. Book 2, my current work in progress, is called West of Want, and releases March 2012.

Kelly: Are any of these other stories set in elevators?

Laura: No, but we won’t hold that against them! *winks*

Kelly: Thank you Laura for taking time out of your busy schedule to hang out with me in this damn elevator and answer some questions.

Laura: Any time. Just name an elevator, and I’ll be there!

Kelly: What do you say we do a giveaway to one lucky person?

Laura: I’d say that’s a great idea. So, in addition to the Treasure Hunt giveaway—see the details below—one commenter who shares a story about talking to a stranger in an elevator (preferably TODAY, but we’ll be flexible!) will win a free ebook of Hearts in Darkness! Comments through 7/30 12 noon PST.

Kelly: Good, now let me out of this elevator. *Laura pushes a button and the doors open* How’d you do that?

Laura: I have a special relationship with elevators. *laughs*

Kelly: You trapped me in here on purpose?

Laura: *laughing her ass off*

Kelly: It’s a good thing I like you…. *walks away shaking head, takes about five steps and turns around*  Hey Laura, why don’t you tell the folks about your Treasure Hunt……..

Hearts in Darkness by Laura Kaye review

Makenna James thinks her day can’t get any worse, until she finds herself stuck in a pitch-black elevator with a complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call and juggling too much stuff, the pin-striped accountant caught only a glimpse of a dragon tattoo on his hand before the lights went out. 


Caden Grayson is amused when a redhead literally falls at his feet. His amusement turns to panic when the power fails. Despite his piercings, tats, and vicious scar, he’s terrified of the dark and confined spaces. Now, he’s trapped in his own worst nightmare. 


To fight fear, they must both reach out and open up. With no preconceived notions based on looks to hold them back, they discover just how much they have in common. In the warming darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will they feel the same when the lights come back on?


My Thoughts: 
In Hearts in Darkness we find MJ (Makenna) and Caden complete strangers in an unfortunate situtation of being trapped in a dark small area. But MJ makes the best of the situation and friends the man she is stuck with.  While Caden is trying hard not to freak out.  He doesn’t like being trapped in small, dark spaces.  But ther is something about MG that clams him.  Once they start talking they find that they have many things in common.  But it is easy to find things in common in the dark.  What will happen when the lights come back on and they are no longer trapped? 
I really enjoyed this story.  Laura does a great job of exploting Caden’s fears and MJ’s nurturing side.  These two are drawn together depsite the fact that MJ has never seen Caden, and Caden only knows that MJ has red hair and a nice ass. 
If you are looking for a great, quick hot story, please take a chance on this elevator. You might just like what you need.


Please watch for my interview with Laura on July 29th.  We will be giving away a copy of Hearts of Darkness
