What would you give up for everything?

Tristan Stone was powerful, commanding, sex incarnate. And he wore it all so well. From the moment his mesmerizing gaze met mine, I had no choice but surrender to everything he was. His power. His decadence. His passion. He was all I never knew I needed.

He wanted to possess me, and I wanted to be his everything. All I had to do was accept what he offered. But everything has a price.

The world he gave me fulfilled my wildest dreams, but would that be enough when the past crashed into the present?

Character QA

Hi Nina,

Thank you so much for stopping by Toot's Book Reviews and congratulations on having your story put to paper.

If you don't mind, may I ask you a few questions for your current and soon-to-be fans?

Absolutely! It's great to be here too!

First, for people who may not know you, Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Nina Edwards, and I have a degree in art history. I'm 24 years old and my best friend is named Jordan. I have one sister named Kim, and both my parents are dead.

Book....

In your own words, tell us a bit about your book?

Crash Into Me is about how I met Tristan Stone, the owner of the Richmont hotel chain, and fell crazy, madly in love with him. It's told from my point of view, so the reader experiences falling for him like I did.

How did you feel knowing you were getting your own book?

I'm an incurable romantic, so I loved the idea!

Have you read it or was living it good enough?

I have read it and K.M. captured the feeling of us falling in love perfectly. For anyone who's read it, I can promise you Tristan is as mysterious and sexy as she wrote him.

What is your favorite scene in the book?

Venice. That scene with Tristan and me on the Piazza San Marco was so incredibly hot...even thinking about it now makes me blush!

What's your least favorite scene?

When he tells me the truth of how we met.

Career.....

From the book, you're studying to be an Art Curator

What made you decide to major in Art?

I've always loved art. My father told me my mother was a very talented artist, but since she died when I was so young, I never got the chance to see that in her. I guess I want to take after her.

Who's your favorite artist?

I love Moreau's work, but that's because I've always loved mythology.

What is your favorite piece?

My favorite Moreau piece is his oil painting Orpheus. That's such an emotional story in Greek mythology and he captured it wonderfully.

What's the most unusual object you've found at a museum?

I'm always a little weirded out when artists use teeth in their works. I appreciate the artistic freedom we all have, but something about it creeps me out.

What and where would your dream job be?

What art lover wouldn't want to work at The Louvre?

Any suggestions for someone looking to purchase art?

Art is anything that speaks to you. I tell Tristan that all the time, but he still doesn't believe me. Let the art get into your heart and soul and whatever you choose will be something that adds good to your world.

Personal.....

Tell us about Tristan?

Tall, built, gorgeous, wealthy...and quiet compared to me. I swear there are times when he can go hours without saying a thing, but then he speaks and I can't stop thinking about those few words he just said.

How long have you two known each other?

It's over a year now.

What's your favorite thing about him?

Physically, it's his eyes. They're the most incredible shade of brown—like melted milk chocolate—and when he looks at me sometimes it's all I can do to not jump him right then and there. Non-physically, it's how deeply he feels about someone or something when he commits.

Just between us girls and the millions of readers *winks*, what is the most annoying thing about Tristan or something he might do that annoys you?

He's so secretive. I want to believe it's for my own good, but as sweet as I may be, I'm no fool. I know someone like him probably has a lot of secrets I may not like.

If he was Ice Cream, what would his flavor be?

Rocky Road.

What would be your perfect date for the two of you?

Tristan likes to drive his cars (usually way too fast for me), but he likes to surprise me by taking me places he thinks are interesting. I think a perfect date would be one of those nights where he says, "Let's go!" and when I ask, "Where?" he give me that sexy grin and says, "It's a surprise. Get in."

What do you two do to unwind and relax?

With all his money, he can take me anywhere in the world, but we like just sitting together watching TV with a bowl of Jiffy Pop. He lies back against the cushions and I sit between his legs with my back to him and my head leaning against his chest. It's so relaxing and when he plays with my hair like he does, I usually can't help but close my eyes and drift off.

A few random questions....

Favorite Movie

Bridget Jones's Diary

Favorite Song

I love music, so I have about a million songs I think are great. I'm loving that Robin Thicke Blurred Lines these days.
Favorite Quote

"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart, or burn down your house, you can never tell."
Favorite Food

I have a few, but I love pizza!

Favorite Color

Blue

Lastly, what are 5 things fans don't know about you or the book?

Five things...hmmm. I have to be careful because there are two books that follow Crash Into Me, so I don't want to ruin anything. Here are five things, though.

1. I'm usually a very good driver, but I drive very slowly. I always have. Well, almost always.

2. Originally, I told K.M. to end the book at the last chapter and not include the Epilogue, which would have made the story a cliffhanger, but she decided against it.

3. I'm happy that in the next book, Fall Into Me, readers will get to have Tristan's point of view too.

4. I'd never really had a man feed me before that night Tristan did and it's one of the most erotic things EVER!

5. The root beer at our pizza place is nearly flat every time we go there. It doesn't matter, though, because the pizza is terrific. :)

Nina, I can't thank you enough for stopping by. Thank you so very very much!

Thank you for having me here today! Maybe next time I can bring Tristan, if I promise he'll talk.
