[Manga Maniac Cafe] Good morning, Lauren! Describe yourself in five words or less.
[Lauren Layne] Snarky, yet hopelessly romantic.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about your book?
[Lauren Layne] Ten years of unfulfilled sexual tension are about combust into one very hot night — but will one night be enough?
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Lauren Layne] Well it’s the third in the Stiletto series, and I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to tell the story of a woman with a VERY sexy reputation but none of the actual sexual experience!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
[Lauren Layne] Sam and Riley have known each other for years, so it was fun getting to skip a lot of that “getting to know you” stuff and get straight to what draws these two together for an entire decade.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What gave you the most trouble with this story?
[Lauren Layne] What made Sam tick. He’s SUPER secretive, so it took me awhile to figure out that his crappy home life totally did a number on him.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had a theme song, what would it be?
[Lauren Layne] It changes pretty much every week, but right now I’m going with Pink’s “So What,” because it’s very power-anthemy, and reminds me that I’m in control of each day.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing you won’t leave home without.
[Lauren Layne] A hair band thingy. There’s always one on my wrist or in my hair, and if it’s missing, I get obsessed!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name three things on your desk right now.
[Lauren Layne] Notebook, laptop and water glass (I’m a minimalist!)
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you could trade places with anyone for just one day, who would you be?
[Lauren Layne] President Obama (“Nobody panic. I’ve got this.”)
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are some books that you enjoyed recently?
[Lauren Layne] I absolutely loved Tessa Dare’s Romancing the Duke. I couldn’t put it down.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?
[Lauren Layne] You know, writing is pretty much always on my mind, but when I need a break, I love to have a glass of wine and cook with my husband.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
[Lauren Layne] I’m very slowly trying to get better at social media (GoodReads, Facebook, Twitter), but I LOVE email. Seriously, write to me about ANYTHING! Lauren (at) laurenlayne (dot) com

Blurb
New York’s hottest “sexpert” has been living a lie—and it’s up to one man to keep her honest . . . all night long.
Riley McKenna knows sex – good sex, bad sex, kinky sex…Her articles in Stiletto magazine are consistently the publication’s most scandalous—and the most read. But Riley has a secret…all that sexy talk? Not an ounce of it comes from personal experience. Her own bedroom escapades are more limited than even her best friends know. When her editor requests that all columnists write something more personal for Stiletto’s anniversary issue, Riley turns to the one man she’s always been able to count on and calls in the favor of a lifetime.
Sam Compton would do anything for Riley McKenna. Anything except be her experimental sex toy. He refuses her request. At least until she tells him that it’ll either be him or she’ll go to someone else. And that, Sam can’t accept. Reluctantly he agrees to her terms—one night of completely meaningless sex in the name of research. Riley thinks she’s prepared for what awaits her in Sam’s bed. After ten years of writing about sex, actually doing it shouldn’t be that different, right? So wrong. What starts as “one time only” becomes “just one more time.” And then one more. And before they know it, Riley and Sam learn first-hand that when it comes to love, there’s no such thing as just one night.
