Hi, there! Today is a very special day here at
Bookworm’s.. We’re interviewing Emily Taylor from Alyssa Rose Ivy’s WRECKED.
It’s a New Adult book, and it’s SO good I feel like giving everyone candy or
something. Hey! Some books just make me THAT happy. Deal with it.And go to the bottom for the giveway :)
So here’s what WRECKED is
about:
When
your past catches up, it's time to stop running..
Jake
Mathews messed up yet again— but this time his misstep lands him in the
hospital. He wakes up to find the girl of his dreams and the memory of having his
deepest secret revealed.
Emily
Taylor needs a break. She's been working double shifts as a nurse just to pay
the bills while trying to heal a broken heart. The last thing she needs is to
fall for a patient.
Strapped
with community service and the knowledge that he's disappointed everyone in his
life, Jake is determined not to let Emily slip through his fingers. Emily wants
Jake, but can she really open herself up to heartache again?
I'm sitting with
my good friend Emily today. You probably already know a little about her story
(and if you don't, life's too short. Go pick up Wrecked ASAP.) So, on behalf of
all of you, I'm gonna pick her brains to find out more about Jak.. Er, I mean,
her life's story is just so interesting. Tell me a little about you, Em.
Hi Johana! I’m Emily Taylor, and I’m originally from a
small college town outside of Ashville, NC. I’m twenty-one, a mom, and I’m an
ICU nurse in Wilmington, NC.
And what about
Noah? He's such a cute little guy.. That pumpkin costume was to die for.
Noah’s two now, and he never stops moving. He’s a very
typical little boy, he loves anything with wheels and dinosaurs. He also has
quite a sweet tooth. I’m glad you liked the pumpkin costume. Jake says we have
to dress him in something cooler next year.
What crossed your
mind when you saw Jake for the first time?
Well, he was unconscious the first time I saw him, but
even covered in bruises, I could tell he was handsome. I just wanted to know
why he got in the accident. I knew there had to be a story behind it.
He's a pretty
determined guy. What is, in you opinion, his best quality? [ASIDE: If you,
reader, are of the dirty mind variety, shame on you. I'm kidding.. THAT answer
you'll find it on Wrecked;) END OF ASIDE]
Jake’s got the best sense of humor. He makes me laugh
all the time, and I love it. He has this way of bringing out the inner child in
people.
What's your
favorite memory pre-Jake?
The day Noah was born. It was the most amazing
experience, and he changed my life forever.
You like country
music. Do you have a favorite song and/or a history to go with it?
I love Wide Open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks. I used to
drive around with the windows down and sing aloud with it at the top of my
lungs.
I've never been to
Clayton Falls and the people who grew up there are biased. Give me an honest description of the place. What made you
decide "I could live
here"?
It’s just this really charming small town. It’s got
this really friendly feel, and there’s something almost old fashioned about it.
I could tell it was a great place for Noah, and Jake and his family really made
us feel at home.
Do you believe in
happy endings? I mean, it's one thing to experience happiness in life, but I'm personally of the belief that a "Happy
Ending" depends on when you
stop the story. Do you think you found that with Jake and Noah? Why?
Yes I do. I think they take work, but life’s what you
make of it. I’ve never been happier, and it’s amazing to see how happy Noah is
when he’s with Jake.
And now some
quickies:
Favorite color? Yellow
Ugliest piece of
clothing you own? Old sweats from High School
Best date? Boat date with
Jake
Worst date? Guy took me on a
double date with his ex. [ASIDE: Ouch. END OF ASIDE]
Summer or winter? Summer
Thank you so much
for your time, Em. I know a toddler can be a handful so it's really nice of you
to stop by.
Thanks for having
me :)
