5 Questions PLUS with Bram & Cassia from Crave the Rose

 Welcome Bram Winterbourne and Cassia Santos to the Book-Bosomed Book Blog! You have a mesmerizing story in Crave the Rose.  Let’s give readers another peak at your life and personalities.

Q1. Bram—what is Cassia’s best quality? Cassia—what’s Bram’s?

Bram: She's beautiful. Smart, I mean.

Cassia: (laughs) I'm not beautiful?

Bram: I meant both.

Cassia: That's cheating. You have to pick one. Well, what I like about you is X-rated.

Bram: Anything not X-rated?

Cassia: Your accent. And your smile. And your ginger beard.

Bram: That's not one, either.

Q2.  Cassia—  if you got a new tattoo to represent your relationship with Bram, what would it be of?

Cassia: This is going to sound gross and sappy, but he has amazing blue eyes. Like forget-me-nots. And I already have a ton of botanical tattoos.

Bram: Forget-me-not is a lovely thought, as well.

Q3. This is for either or both of you— describe the perfect date.

Bram: Exploring a new city, eating dinner at a random restaurant, ending at a good hotel.

Cassia: I'd skip to the hotel.

Bram: I know.

Q4. Name three things on your bed side table.

Cassia: A few books on ethnobotany. I've been reading up on that.

Bram: (laughs) There's one thing on my bedside table: glow-in-the-dark condoms.

Q5. Aside from the glow in the dark condoms, have you tried anything more adventurous in the bedroom (or garden…or beach) together that you’d like to share?

Bram: To be honest, it's all been adventurous for me.

Cassia: He's been shy about outdoor sex.

Bram: I haven't!

Cassia: After that time in the garden, you're nothing but jumpy.

Bram: That's justified.

  

PLUS, (for both of you) Answer these five rapid fire questions with the first thing that comes to mind:

#1 Favorite sound?

Bram: The sound of beer being poured into a glass.

Cassia: Birdsong.

#2 Favorite taste?

Bram: Beer, clearly.

Cassia: Chocolate! 

#3 Greatest Fear?

Bram: Losing control.

Cassia: Fucking everything up. Again.

#4 Favorite place to have sex?

Bram: In bed.

Cassia: Dude, don't be so vanilla. On the beach.

  

#5 Wildest adventure?
