Callie loves her best friends, Jack, Noah, and Lucas.  Lucas, however, has a special place in her heart; all that tough exterior over such wounded vulnerability.  The guys treat her like their little sister though, much to her dismay.  After accidentally witnessing Jack and Noah together a week ago she's been in a bit of a state.  She knew Jack was bi but didn't know that detail about sweet shy Noah until then.  Now the boys have gone to a ballgame, giving her some much needed privacy. Callie has given herself permission to indulge her fantasy tonight.  A DVD, some toys she found at a certain store she finally got the nerve to enter, and her lusty imagination.For erotica to work for me there has to be a strong emotional connection between the characters.  None of this tenuous skimming the surface, sex for the sake of sex nonsense.  I want depth, not gratuitous sex.  That's just what I got and more with Laura Kaye'sJUST GOTTA SAY.In my humble opinion, JUST GOTTA SAY is hottern' the hinges of hell and tugs at your heart, the best of both worlds.  If you want erotica with plenty of heart, soul, and heat you don't want to miss this smoking read.Reviewed by IvyD for Manic Readers
