I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Fall for You (An M/M Romance) by Valerie Ullmer

    Sebastian, the outgoing life of the party, had taken advantage of his freedom of being away from home for college while Ethan remained the same, quiet and reserved. While Ethan’s feelings for Sebastian developed over years, Sebastian’s came suddenly when he thought he spotted Ethan kissing another man. Despite their feelings, they haven’t told the other. How long can they hide their feelings while sharing a bed?
    Genre New Adult Gay Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Ethan Sutton came to the stunning revelation he’d fallen in love with his best friend, Sebastian Young. Although friends since childhood, Ethan vowed to keep his feelings for Sebastian under wraps and live the rest of his life with this one secret between them. He’d rather keep their friendship than risk a lifelong connection and never see him again. But when they move into their own place at the start of their junior year, can Ethan keep his feelings from showing when they live so close together?
    Sebastian Young had an epiphany about Ethan at the end of last year. He moved them into a loft he’d found over the summer allowing him to be closer to Ethan. As they settle into their lives in a new place with such close quarters, ex-girlfriends, nosy downstairs neighbors, and Sebastian’s own doubts could put their relationship in jeopardy before it even begins.
    Can two best friends admit their feelings and fall in love?

    Ethan Sutton had come to the stunning revelation that he’d fallen in love with his best friend, Sebastian Young. Although friends since childhood, Ethan vowed to keep his feelings for Sebastian under wraps and live the rest of his life with this one secret between them rather than risk a lifelong connection and never see him again. But when they move into their own apartment at the start of their third year of college, can Ethan keep his feelings from showing when they live so close together?
    Sebastian Young had an epiphany about Ethan at the end of last year and arranged for the shared apartment he’d found over the summer to be closer to Ethan and see if a relationship could develop between them. But as they settle into their lives in a new place with such close quarters, ex-girlfriends, nosy downstairs neighbors, and Sebastian’s own doubts, their relationship could be in jeopardy before it even begins.
    Can two best friends admit their feelings and fall in love?
    Ethan realized falling in love with his best friend had been easy. Keeping his feelings a secret from Sebastian as they move into a one-bedroom loft and deal with decisions from their past might prove a bit more difficult.
    Why did you write this book?
    I loved the idea of two close friends who develop feelings for one another, but they are afraid of ruining their friendship, so they keep their feelings to themselves.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance in general, Gay Romance in particular.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I don’t really have one. I could say Elizabeth Bennet, but every time I read a book, they become my favorite character for a while.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    Another book in my Dark Assassins series. Jade.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    I am working on my second full-length M/M novel, Unintended, in the Unexpected Series. I am also working on the start of another New Adult M/M series.

    Reed Sutton from Fall For You @suebeehny #RLFblog #Contemporary

    The character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Reed Sutton from
    Fall For You by Susan Behon.

    Character Interview

    Interview with Reed Sutton

    Tell us about yourself, please.
    Let’s see, where should I start? (Gives a gorgeous smile, with
    dimples included.) Hello, my name is Reed Sutton and I’m addicted to chocolate chip
    cookies. Just kidding. I’m addicted to the baker of the cookies, Sophie Brandon.
    Have you tried the cookies at The Cookie Jar, if not…wait, I’m getting off track.
    Let me back up. Since ending my enlistment in the Navy, I’ve
    moved back to Madison Falls to run the family construction company. I like Pina
    Coladas and getting caught in the rain. Do you like that song? It’s been in my brain
    all day. I like to sing karaoke. Do you like karaoke? You should try it. (Hums the
    Pina Colada song.) Anyway, I think that covers it. Any other questions?
    Authors call what you want but cannot have “the conflict”
    — what is yours?
    I want to be with Sophie all the time but she won’t get naked
    in the bakery. Just kidding again. Don’t tell her I said that. My real conflict
    is trying to woo Sophie without my family getting in the way again. We were kept
    apart years ago before I joined the Navy. I know she wants me, but a certain family
    member is trying to screw up her bakery business, which in turn, is giving Sophie
    second thoughts.
    What can you not do (but need to do) during this story?
    I’m trying to understand the cause of the rift between Sophie
    and my family. I’d like everyone to get along but a family member has told some
    serious lies and omitted some important information.
    What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
    I have trouble coming to terms with the fact that a family member
    is capable of committing a certain act of cruelty.
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is
    you fear most and why.
    I fear Sophie dumping me in order to save her bakery. Someone
    close to me could easily run her business into the ground.
    Tell us about your significant other, that person who makes
    living worthwhile.
    Sophie? (Smiles proudly.) You’d love Sophie. She’s a sweetheart.
    I don’t even know where to start. She’s amazing. Sophie is smart, beautiful, talented,
    amazing—wait, I said that already—but it’s worth repeating. She is so short and
    cute, with the most beautiful big green eyes. She looks like a sexy anime character.
    Don’t tell her I said that either, okay? She says she refuses to be compared to
    a cartoon, even a sexy one. Sophie is, well, Sophie’s my heart.

    About the Writer

    Susan Behon, author of the Madison Falls Series, enjoys creating
    a world that brings readers romance, laughter, and a healthy dose of sexiness. Susan
    graduated summa cum laude with a B. A. in English from Norfolk State University.
    She currently lives in Ohio with her very own romance hero of a husband and their
    two wonderful daughters.
    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?
    I think my biggest challenge was to get all of the ideas in my
    head to make sense once they hit the page. I’m my own worst critic.
    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?
    I chose Reed because he’s a people person. He loves to talk about
    Sophie to anyone who would listen to him.
    When writing the book, what did you discover about this character
    that surprised you?
    I discovered that sweet Reed Sutton likes to talk dirty while
    making love to Sophie.
    Are any sequels planned for this book?
    Absolutely. I planned it as a series. More Than Words, Book 2,
    comes out May 11 and Made For Me, Book 3 is currently being written.
    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried
    yet?
    I would love to try romantic suspense or maybe a paranormal romance.
    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?
    I’m a left-handed, green-eyed, triplet.
    Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books
    before give this one a try?
    It has everything: romance, steamy love scenes, humor, action,
    and an intriguing story line.
    Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    Please, please, please buy my book(s)! You’ll fall in love with
    the characters and walk away with a smile on your face.
