Coming Unbound
by Lacey Savage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Ginny and Cole have
struggled to connect intimately since before their marriage. When Cole suggests
they surprise each other with the most sexually daring things they can dream up
for their anniversary, Ginny reluctantly musters every ounce of courage she
possesses to get nipple piercings.
Cole’s surprise?
He’s turned their suburban basement into a dungeon—and hired
a sexy Dom to teach them the art of BDSM.
Desperately in love with his wife, Cole’s aware of sensitive
sexual demons in Ginny’s past, and will try anything to beat them. Whips, toys,
ménage play with the Dom…all these and more could help Ginny find pleasure,
break through her issues.
Or, if they’re not careful, possibly just break Ginny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh boy,
talk about putting me on the spot right off the bat… Okay, how about this? I
got married at the ripe old age of 18. And no, I wasn’t pregnant. Nor was it an
arranged marriage. But I can say that it’s been 14 years, and I still consider
it the best decision I ever made. What can I say? When it’s meant to be, it’s
meant to be. Is it any wonder I write romance for a living?
Tell us a little about your book?
COMING
UNBOUND is an unconventional erotic romance. It’s about a married couple
struggling with a few issues in the bedroom. I have a feeling many of us have
been there… But this particular husband, well, he decides to raise the stakes a
little, and tells his wife he’d like them both to surprise each other with the
most sexually daring things they can think of for their anniversary. She gets
nipple piercings. As for him? Well, he turns their suburban basement into a
BDSM dungeon, and hires a Dom to teach them what to do with all their new toys.
No half-measures for this guy!
How much emotion does it take from you to write?
It
depends on the scene I’m writing at any given time, but I really throw myself
into my stories, so it’s not unusual for me to get teary-eyed, or cackle
maniacally while I’m writing. It’s a good thing I write with the door closed.
What is your favorite part of the book?
I loved
writing the scene where Ginny comes home and discovers Cole’s surprise. Her
reaction to the basement-turned-dungeon was a lot of fun to write… as was
everything else that comes after!
You can only pick 3 words for your main
characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*
Frustrated.
Devoted. Loyal.
Which was the easiest character to write and the
hardest ~ and why??
The
easiest was Ginny. I could relate to her so much while I was writing this book,
and loved being in her head while I told her story. The hardest was Cole,
because I wanted to show him being devoted and caring, but without having him
come across as a pushover. And since we don’t get any scenes from Cole’s point
of view, that was a tough balancing act.
What are you currently working on?
I’m
currently in between projects. This doesn’t happen often, so I’m enjoying the
short break while I can!
What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?
Just
one? Hmm… I’d have to say that what I love most is getting to know my
characters and having them come to life on the page. They surprise me so often,
doing things I would have never expected but which seem ultimately right for them. I love that!
Since we're cover hussies....what was your first
impression of your cover?
I loved
it! The artist captured the love and devotion between Cole and Ginny
beautifully. It was exactly what I was hoping for.
What do you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?
I love
both, but these days, I lean toward ebooks. I really like reading dozens of
samples to find the books that hook me and refuse to let go. If I had to buy
the paperbacks to do the same thing, I’d go broke!
Is there a genre you would like to write but are a
little apprehensive to try?
Oh boy,
yes… Epic fantasy (like George R.R. Martin’s GAME OF THRONES series). It’s my
favorite genre to read, but I’m terrified of writing it.
Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there...
Hahah... If
you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start
off slow and easy, I promise!
What is on your night stand/dresser?
My iPad,
a lamp, my glasses, a pen, and a highlighter.
What are you listening to you right now?
My
husband, having a very loud phone conversation in the next room.
What are you reading right now?
Nalini
Singh’s ANGELS’ BLOOD, which I’m absolutely loving!
What is your favorite season? Holiday?
Favorite
season – summer. Favorite holiday – New Year’s Eve.
And what has been your best b-day present ever??
My
husband gives me the “gift of shopping” every year, and I couldn’t ask for
anything better. He basically hands me a wad of cash and lets me go crazy in a
mall. :) I’m a lucky, lucky girl!
Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer!
Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will
be right back...
You know you do... Quickie time... Think fast....
Are you a quickie kind girl? Absolutely! Anytime, just about anywhere!

Whipped or Melted? Melted
Straight up or with a twist - sex? With a twist
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him? Rum-and-Coke
Spank or Flogger? Spank
Junk or Health Food? Health food (though I love junk, I don’t indulge
often)
Ties or Chains? Ties
Leather or Lace? Lace – would you expect anything else, given my pen
name? :)
Soft or Hard... Bed, where was
your mind? Soft
Control or Be Controlled? Be controlled
Hot Wax or Whip Cream? Hot wax
Vampire or Werewolf? Vampire
Twitter and/or Facebook? Twitter

EXCERPT
I groped for my cocktail glass
then drained it. “Now, are you going to answer my question or not?”
She pursed her lips for a moment
before replying. “Men want whores.”
My stomach bottomed out. That
wasn’t at all the answer I’d expected. It went against everything I believed.
I motioned for her to go on with
a flick of my trembling hand.
“They also want a woman who’s
confident in her own skin. Someone secure enough in her sexuality to tease
them, taunt them, play with them.”
The blood drained from my face.
That wasn’t me at all. I liked sex well enough, but Cole was the one who
initiated our romantic encounters almost all the time.
“What they don’t want,” Donna
continued, “is someone who just lies there and takes it.” She sipped her
martini and furrowed her brows. “Why are you asking me this?”
I sucked in a breath and
considered lying or changing the subject. But my heart pounded hard against my
breastbone, and I needed to know more. “Cole wants us to spice things up for
our anniversary,” I blurted. “And I have no idea what to do.”
“Is that all?” Donna laughed, the
humor crinkling her eyes. “Geez, girl, you scared me. You were so serious. I
thought you were getting a divorce or something.”
I swallowed hard but said
nothing. A divorce might not be too far off. Cole had married a woman with
little sexual experience and no interest in learning anything beyond the
particulars of inserting Tab A into Slot B, and I couldn’t help but wonder if
he had a Lilian of his own. Cole worked as a technician at a medical
laboratory. Had someone there already offered to hop on a photocopy machine and
spread her legs for him?
The thought soured my stomach. I
set my empty glass aside and gripped Donna’s hands. “Help me.”
Her eyes widened. She squeezed my
fingers in a supportive gesture, and I was insanely grateful she wasn’t
laughing.
“Okay, well, you must have some
idea. Think about a fantasy of yours… Something you haven’t gotten to act out
but would like to.” I must have looked completely blank, because Donna sighed.
She signaled a waiter who was passing by. “We’re going to need more alcohol.”.

DeleteSounds like it is going to be a novel of pushing the boundries which I like. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us
ReplyDeletefencingromein at hotmail dot com
Oh yeah, there are definitely a lot of boundaries being pushed in this book. Certainly Ginny's, and I think to some degree, the reader's, too. :)

I think I'm like Ginny. I've been loving that the erotica I've been reading (fairly recently during the past year and a half) has given me some ideas for how to spice things up with my hubby of 25 years.
