Today's guest is the wonderful Laurie Roma, who writes erotic romance for Siren Publishing. Make sure you check out her blog for a special giveaway starting today!
Laurie Roma lives in Chicago and is the author of the IAD series. She has always loved immersing herself in a good book and now enjoys the pleasure of creating her own. She can usually be found tapping away on her keyboard, creating worlds for her characters while she listens to music. Of course her playlist depends on her mood…but then again, so does her writing.
An avid reader of the romance genre, nothing bothers her more
than annoying characters. Seriously, who wants a happy ending for someone that pisses
you off? She loves tough alpha-male heroes and strong heroines that have brains
as well as beauty. Her novels are filled with both passionate romance and down
and dirty lust-driven interludes, as she believes both are essential to a good
love story. She loves to hear from her readers and can be reached at laurieromabooks@gmail.com.

What got you
started in writing?
The
short answer is I have always loved reading and I found myself saying, “Hey, I
have stories to tell too!”
The
long answer…well, that is a little more involved. See, my dating life has been
an interesting and sometimes unbelievable mine field that could fill an entire
season of Sex and the City! My friends always told me that I should write some
of my stories down, since sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. When I was in law school I started to do just
that. It started as writing on the side during my free time, but after I
graduated I decided to make writing a career. I have been lucky enough to use
my imagination as a screenwriter in the film industry and started writing
erotic romance as a hobby. Well, that hobby has now turned into an obsession,
and it’s one that I don’t plan to ever give up!
How did you feel
when you got that first acceptance?
Did I
just win the lottery?! Hell yes! I know how difficult it is to break into the
literary world and it was an incredible feeling to have my work validated by a
publisher and even more so to hear that readers love my work. I still don’t
think I’m over that feeling yet. J
What’s your
biggest challenge as a brand new author?
Fortunately,
I ‘ve had a wonderful time since being published. The other Siren Bookstrand
authors have welcomed me with open arms and have helped guide me through some
of the details that I never really thought about before joining the literary
community. I think getting my name out is a challenge since there are a LOT of
authors out there, but with time I feel confident my work will speak for itself.
What’s next for
you?
I just finished the
second book of my IAD Agency series. *Spoiler alert!* The second book features
IAD agent Tara Toshi, who has been such fun to write. It has been a pleasure
watching her fall in love! The story is set in both Chicago and Las Vegas...and
has more action, more intrigue and of course more hot passion than the first! I absolutely LOVE writing about the characters
of this series and, lucky me, there are numerous agents that each have a story
to tell!
I am
also working on a HOT new series that has a sci-fi, shifter ménage theme. This
is a new genre for me and, if it is received well, I will continue on with this
series as well.
Tell us about
your newest release.
Under
Pressure is the first novel of the IAD Agency series and was just released in
October. The
feedback on Under Pressure has been amazing so far, and if you’re a fan of
Contemporary/Romantic Suspense with an erotic twist, then this is the story for
you!
The IAD Agency series
novels are all stand-alone stories, but it is highly recommended to read them
in order to get the most enjoyment from the series!

ADULT EXCERPT
Bella was tight, so tight she fit him like a glove. Feeling her pussy
grip down on his cock almost made him spill himself inside her, but he needed
this to last. Holding himself still, he waited until he felt her body relax
around him. No matter how many times they made love, Jason was always careful
to go slow at the start. To feel out what her body told him. Every muscle in
his body tightened as he held himself under control, careful not to hurt her.
“Touch me. Don’t stop touching me,” Bella pleaded.
“God, I am, love. I won’t stop. I can’t.”
He slowly pulled out of her tight pussy and then pushed back in,
starting a slow sensuous ride while he placed soft kisses on her shoulder,
making her moan. One big hand caressing her breast while the other stroked over
her abdomen, holding her back against his hard chest. Whimpering in
frustration, Bella tried to speed up the pace as Jason’s long thick cock
continued to glide inside her wet warmth slowly.
“Easy, love. I’m too big. You have to relax more.” He turned her head to
nip at her lush lower lip, and she jerked his head down to capture his mouth
with hers.
Relaxing the muscles of her pussy over his cock, she tried to throw her
hips back at him as forcefully as she could.
He hissed at the pressure and gripped her hip hard with his hand, trying
to stop her. “Bloody hell, Bella, baby, we have to go slow—”
“No, not slow. Hard. I want to come. I’m so close, please, please.”
Jason’s hand went down to play across her clit, wanting her to come so
he could stop worrying about hurting her. His body tight with need, he forced
himself to continue his slow pace when everything inside him demanded that he
fuck himself into her. He wanted to pound himself deep, so deep she would never
get him out. He lightly pinched the small nub as he continued to push his cock
slowly into her until he was wedged up to her cervix.
“Come then. Come for me, love. Let me feel you go over for me,” his deep
voice rumbled.
She tried to fight it, but he was relentlessly playing her body like an
instrument. His fingers continued to rub her clit, making her gasp. She tried
once again to speed up the rhythm, causing Jason’s breath to hiss out in
pleasure and frustration.
“Come, Bella. Don’t fight it, just let go. Dammit come for me. Come
now.” Jason’s deep voice was tight with lust and was enough to spark Bella’s
body into overdrive.
Her body burst.
Bella let out a keening cry as fire swept through her and flames of
pleasure licked through her entire body. She came and exploded with passion,
but still it wasn’t what she wanted. She wanted, no, needed to feel him let go.
She needed him to be with her, all the way.
Jason could feel the muscles of her tight pussy clench down on his cock,
her shudders increasing the pressure until he swore his cock was being
strangled in her tight sheath. He pushed his throbbing shaft deep as he rode
out her orgasm, using small jabs and keeping pressure on her clit to heighten
her pleasure.
He pulled out until only the head of his cock was lodged inside her and
forged his was back inside her to the hilt, testing her readiness now. He could
fuck her now, pump his hard cock inside her slick pussy in a hard pounding like
he needed to now, but he forced himself to stop. That wasn’t what she needed,
especially after last night’s nightmare.
She was slick with her own cream now, her body dripping with her desire,
and his cock continued to slide inside her welcoming heat with a slow steady
rhythm. His hand reached down and gripped her leg to hold her open for him. He
slid his other hand over her breast, again pinching and rolling her nipple
between his fingers as he struggled not to spill himself yet.
Bella turned her head and her mouth sought his. She nipped and sucked at
his tongue, driving him mad with pleasure. Bella felt the yearning growing
again, building deep inside her, sharp and urgent. The feel of him inside her
made her burn with passion, the need to feel him with her, more, always. Desire
sparked and heated, turning the need into something she would die for.
She wanted more.
She wanted everything.
Bella set his body on fire, and the flames of need grew into a firestorm
that threatened his control. The tip of his cock wept his arousal, throbbing
with the urgent need to fuck into her welcoming body hard and fast. His body
screamed for release, but still he held back.
“Bella, easy, love—”
Temper had Bella snapping, “I need you, Jason. Stop treating me like I’m
made of glass. I need you. Hard. Now. Please fuck me.”
Jason stopped with his cock embedded deep within her. When he failed to
move, Bella struggled, trying to get him to release her but unable to loosen
his hold. “Bella. I don’t want to hurt you. Just let me love you.”
She let out a shriek of frustration. “Why can’t you see that you don’t
have to treat me like I’m going to break? Dammit, I don’t need your protection
when we’re in bed. Either treat me like a woman or let me go.”
Already on edge, anger collided with raw desire in his system and had
him growling. “Let you go? Never, baby, do you fucking hear me? Never.
You want me to treat you like a woman? You are my woman.”
“Then prove it,” Bella snapped back.
Jason simply felt his tight control break. It was as if the imaginary
shackles he had placed on himself had simply dissolved, leaving the wild beast
free. He rolled her over onto her stomach, placing his muscled thighs between
hers. He used his legs to spread her wide to accommodate his large body. The
need burned white hot and demanded to be sated. He brought her hips up and back
without dislodging his cock from inside her, and with a ragged breath he
gritted out, “Jesus, love, hold on. Fuck, just hold on.”
