On your nightstand now: Alarm clock, lamp, cough drops, three books I judged for the RWA Rita contest (so I can’t name them!), Lover Awakened, Covet, and a drawing by one of my girls.
Favorite book when you were a child: The Secret Garden. I even wrote a paranormal twist on it!
Your top five authors: JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Stephen King, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Tessa Bailey
Book you’ve faked reading: LOL! JR Ward’s Covet. It’s been on my nightstand for a while waiting to be finished. And the second book in the Outlander series, too…
Book you’re an evangelist for: Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward or anything by Tessa Bailey, who writes the best dirty talkers ever!
Book that changed your life: Twilight – it was one of the reasons I started writing fiction…
Favorite line from a book: It’s a tie between: 1) When Zsadist writes “I LOVE YOU” in block letters to Bella, and 2) When Zsadist tells Bella, “I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came…and I was awakened.”
Which character you most relate to: Beth from Dark Lover – I related to her feelings over the father she never met and adored reading about her slow descent into a paranormal world.
Book you most want to read again for the first time: Lover Awakened by JR Ward
Tell me about YOUR book: Hard to Be Good is the fifth book in my super sexy romantic suspense Hard Ink series. It is my first m/m title and features an opposites attract relationship between tattoo shop owner Jeremy Rixey and quiet, shy, computer geek and recent kidnapping victim, Charlie Merritt. It releases April 14!

Add it to your Goodreads shelf / Amazon wishlist
Recent kidnapping victim Charlie Merritt has always been better with computers than people, so when he’s drawn into the SF team’s investigation of his army colonel father’s corruption, he’s surprised to find acceptance and friendship–especially since his father never accepted who Charlie was. Even more surprising is the heated tension Charlie feels with sexy, tattooed Jeremy, Charlie’s opposite in almost every way.
With tragedy and chaos all around them, temptation flashes hot, and Jeremy and Charlie can’t help but wonder why they’re trying so hard to be good…
Love Laura Kaye!
