Pushed (Torn Book One)
A.F. Crowell
My dear readers, you are probably going to get
tired of me saying this, as repetitive as it is, but it is true. And the best
way to meet new Authors and their amazing books! Yes, I met A.F. Crowell attending another facebook party, where I won this amazing book, that she was
sharing as a prize. Until this event, I had never heard of Ms. Crowell, or her
writing.
As I opened this book, I noticed right from the
very beginning the fact that this book is about a trauma ward, and the main
character is a nurse. Those are usually my favorite shows to dig into on TV.
But I’ve never really delved into them as a book until now-minus the book “Coma”
many years ago. (I know right?! Who has thought of ‘that’ book in years?!)
Leila Matthews is one of those kind of nurses
who thinks she has been around the block so much she has seen everything.
However, lets face it, once you are so sure of yourself-someone or something is
gonna prove you wrong.
The irresistible Brody Davis is everything any
woman would want. The only thing his priorities are himself. Although his best
friend has a baby sister that has always made him desire her. And if there is
any female who has a chance of getting through to Brody, Leila believes she can
change his ways of loving and leaving women.
The question being, is with a know-it-all,
seen-it-all, nurse, and a love ‘em and leave ‘em heart breaker, do you think it
will work? And do you think Leila can actually change this sexy billionaires
attitude about women and give them the true love he needs at the same time?
This is a very beautiful five star book, with
all the excitement you could ever want and need. "Pushed" kept me on the edge
of my seat, whereas I was wanting to help both Leila and Brody in every way. I loved every
minute of this book, and could not put it down. I think I found myself a new
favorite writer! Ms. Crowell is an amazing writer, and she truly will make you
see, feel and believe that you are right there. If you want a real love story,
with a twist, you truly need to read this! A definite edge of the seat mix with
romance, and two people who truly seem stubborn, but well worth the wait. Once
you start reading it, plan on making yourself comfortable, because like I
said-you won’t be able to put it down.
My questions for Ms. Crowell:
1. What made you decide to
write this book AND how long did it take you?
I had just finished reading another book and I kept wanting something completely different to happen but it didn’t. More and more books were doing that to me. I thought to myself, I could do this. I love to tell stories. Figuring out what to write about stumped me though. Then it happened. I woke up in the middle of the night from this dream that rocked me to the core. Pushed was born. I can only guess about how long it took to write because I wrote both Pushed and Pulled back to back with no break. All together it was 4 months, so approximately two months.
2. Did you have to do any
research for this book?
Not really. I live in Charleston, where the book is set and I work in a surgery center. I definitely asked several of the nurses I worked with questions on specific details and complications.
3. Other then the cover, do you have photos or descriptions of Leila and Brody?
Brody Davis 31 yr old, muscular not too bulky but defined, unruly dark hair, blue eyes, no tattoos.
Leila Matthews 27 yr old,
thin, curly auburn hair, brown eyes, tan skin, voluptuous. RN at Medical
University of South Carolina.
4. As you are writing your characters- can you visualize the scenes? AND if it's sex scenes do you make certain the scenes are workable?
4. As you are writing your characters- can you visualize the scenes? AND if it's sex scenes do you make certain the scenes are workable?
I definitely can see the scenes. I will actually stop and try to picture it so it is a do-able thing. The sex scenes are a little more tricky, but I do try to make sure they aren’t impossible or cheesy.
5. What are you working on now?
I’m actually working on my fourth book, Redemption. Because it is a spin off from the first three books, Pushed, Pulled and Torn, I won’t give any details.
6. What are your hobbies?
Reading!! I also really like making teasers and crocheting scarves. Blankets take too long and I’m not that patient to be able to count that many stitches.
7. Who is/are your favorite Author(s)?
Kristen Ashley, JC Valentine, L Wilder, Audrey Carlan, Jordan Marie, Emily Snow, JC Emery, Pepper Winters, Katy Evans, K Bromberg, Lauralin Paige, HM Ward, Vi Keeland, Sandi Lynn, Meredith Wild, Jasinda Wilder, Kaylee Song, River Savage…… this list could go on and on.
8. What is your favoritist book of all time?
Hands down, Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley
9. How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing just over a year. My first book was self-published on February 18th 2015 before I was signed to Boroughs Publishing Group.
10. What all education have you had?
I graduated high school at sixteen and immediately went into college but I only finished two years. I wish now I had stayed with it.
