I don’t think it is any secret by now how much I fell in LOVE with Jasinda Wilder’s new book Falling Into You. I have read some amazing books this year so far, but this one was so amazing! 5+++++ Stars AND 5 Heat!!!
See My Review and Playlist Here
I already know it will be on my Best of 2013 list and the first quarter isn’t even over yet.
I wasn’t always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way.
Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.Colton didn’t teach me how to live. He didn’t heal the pain. He didn’t make it okay. He taught me how to hurt, how to not be okay, and, eventually, how to let go.

Jasinda Wilder is a Michigan native with a penchant for titillating tales about sexy men and strong women.When she’s not writing, she’s probably shopping, baking, or reading. Some of her favorite authors include Nora Roberts, JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Liliana Hart and Bella Andre. She loves to travel and some of her favorite vacations spots are Las Vegas, New York City and Toledo, Ohio. You can often find Jasinda drinking sweet red wine with frozen berries and eating a cupcake.
Jasinda also wrote one of my other favorites this year, Wounded (see my review here) as well as Delilah’s Diary (my review) and The Big Girls Do It Series.
I was so excited about this book, I just couldn’t wait to share my review with you, even though my blog tour date wasn’t until today. So since I already have a review and playlist up (with a giveaway) here, Jasinda was willing to set up a very special meeting between me and Colton and Nell (part of me wants to grab Colton and run, but Nell is pretty awesome, so I’ll let her keep him and just be insanely jealous.)
I pop into the bar one evening because not only do I want to interview Nell and Colton, I really want to hear them sing together. I am just BLOWN AWAY by the two of them! And Colton is just so BIG. You kind of don’t expect to hear the amazing voice come out of that big, hard body. Finally (after getting goosebumps), they sit down to join me and answer some of my questions.
I am going to ask the questions of both of you, so I’d love to get each of your answers. Keep in mind, I’m not shy. At all.
Luckily, Colton buys me a quick shot to calm my shaky nerves…mmmmm s’mores vodka, chilled. My fave. So here we go!
Name 3 words to describe each other.
Nell: Colton is Strong, Sweet, Capable.
Colton: Nell is Sexy, talented, and tough.
Invent a drink/shot (and a name) to describe each other.
Colton: Nell’s drink would be whiskey/sprite, since that’s what she drinks. I’d call it…Layers of Heat.
Nell: Colton’s drink would be a shot, I think. It’d be Jameson and Kahlua. I think I’d call it the Tall Dark and Handsome.
(I guess mine is sweet and gooey?)
What is each of your favorite all-time albums?
Nell: My favorite would probably have to be Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons.
Colton: Mine would be…oh god, I”m not sure I can pick one. Barton Hollow by the Civil Wars…I and Love and You by the Avett Brothers? Those would be my two top picks.
What song do you like to perform most together?
Colton: Barton Hollow is our biggest crowd favorite. It’s such a sexy as hell song, and we just kill it every time.
Nell: I personally really love playing Jazz covers with Colton. We do a lot of Ella and Louis covers together, and I just..ohmigod, I love hearing Colton sing Louis’ parts, his voice is raspy and reminds of Louis himself, and it’s just sexy.
What is the best place you guys have had sex?
Colton: Best place other than a bed? We did it on the Lay-Z-Boy on the roof of my place once, during the summer. It was…awesome.
Nell: *blushes and smacks Colton on the arm* You’re supposed to say that’s private information, you asshole. But the Lay-Z-Boy WAS great sex.
(She must have known I was going to fantasize about it)
What is your favorite position?
Nell: I think we each have different favorites. Mine is on top, facing away from Colton. I like having his arms around me, yet being on top of him. It’s intimate but erotic.
Colton: *looks at Nell* Now who’s giving out private information? I like that one too, but my personal favorite is from behind, natural. It’s just…hot. That’s all I’ll say.
Nell-What do you THINK is Colt’s favorite thing about you?
Nell: He has to pick just one thing? *laughs* I’d say his favorite thing about me is my tits. Just kidding! He loves me for all of me. I don’t know what one thing he’d like. God, this is such a hard question! Um…my singing voice, and how much I love performing, maybe.
Colton? What do you think is Nell’s favorite thing about you?
Colton: I think her favorite thing about me is the fact that I get her and that I protect her. Oh wait, shit–or am I not supposed to swear? Whatever. Anyway, that’s two things, but yeah. That.
What is your real number one favorite thing about each other?
Nell: I really do love that about him. The fact that he understands me so well. he never lets me get away with putting guilt on myself that i don’t deserves. And really, that is protecting me from me, so you could count it as one thing.
Colton: Yeah, she’s got it down. I do love me some Nelly-titties, but for real? She is so talented, and she loves performing and it just shows every time she gets up on stage. I love that about her so much.
How about 2 pet peeves each? (about each other)
Nell: God, Ana, you sure do like to ask hard questions. Pet peeve? He tickles. That’s how he wakes me up, by tickling my feet in the morning. I hate it, which just makes him do it all the more, because he thinks it cute when I’m irritated, or some stupid guy nonsense like that. Two things? Um…he trims his pubes in the shower and doesn’t clean up after himself. Sorry if that’s TMI, but it’s my other big pet peeve about him.
Colton: It IS cute. It’s adorable. You get all red in the face and your hair is tangled and you just get so mad and try to hit me. It’s cute. She leaves her panties on the floor of the shower, and she gets crazy anal about the toilet paper being put in the holder OVER, rather than under. I’ve never seen what difference it could possibly make, but it drives her crazy if I put it in *air quotes* upside down.
Where do you guys see yourselves in 3 years?
Nell: Married, performing together.
Colton: Same here.
If you can go anywhere together where would it be?
Colton: I’ve always wanted to go to Aruba. Don’t ask me why. It just sounds exotic. I’ve never been anywhere but Detroit and New York.
Nell: As cheesy and sappy as this sounds, I’ll go anywhere that Colton is. If he goes to Aruba, then that’s where I want to be. I would like to see Paris someday, though.
Name one random fact about each of you.
Nell: I have really big feet for a girl my size. I wear tens.
Colton: yeah, ya big foot. *Laughs when Nell smacks his arm again* I hate peanut butter and I’ve never seen any of The Godfather movies. Crap, that’s two things again.
Thanks for chatting with me guys!
Unfortunately, they have to get back on stage……so they head back up there and I’m again amazed at how great they sound together.
