Giveaway: Instant Temptation by Jill Shalvis
Last week, while on vacation, I was able to meet one of our favorite authors for coffee (or in her case, hot chocolate). That's right, I met Jill Shalvis for coffee last week (though if I'm being honest it feels like it's been a lot longer..my husband and I were on a LONG road trip).
She is everything you've ever imagined her to be; sweet, funny and adorable. We gossiped about boys, small town life and books we love. I had a wonderful time with her.
(I kind of feel like my face is really shiny in this picture...)
That's Jill on the left and me on the right. See? I told you, she's adorable.
To Harley, the landscape around Wishful, California, is exhilarating, untamed, and more than a little dangerous. The same could be said for T.J. Wilder, who's invited himself along on her trek to study a rare coyote. Harley's career is riding on this trip, and she doesn't need a stubborn, incredibly sexy distraction. But T.J. is a professional guide who knows when to stay back and when to provide invaluable expertise - just like he's done since they were in high school. And Harley, as usual, is torn between throttling him and giving in to the raw attraction that's been smoldering all these years. T.J. knows how proud and capable Harley is, but he's damned sure not letting her put herself at risk when there are illegal hunters in the area. She needs him, with the same soul-stirring urgency that he's always craved her. And here, in this beautiful place days from civilization, he'll finally have a chance to prove it - over and over again...
Being the wonderful author she is, Jill gave me a copy of Instant Temptation while I was there. Instant Temptation is book 3 in her Wilder Adventures series, T.J.'s book. The book isn't set to be released until March 30, but since I have a copy here and I'm feeling generous
Leave a comment on this post telling me why you're looking forward to reading Instant Temptation before 11:59 p.m. tonight, March 11, 2010 and you'll be entered to win. I'll draw a winner Friday and mail the book out over the weekend so chances are the winner will receive the book well before the release date.
Good luck!
Also, be sure to stick around because later today historical romance author Rose Lerner will be guest blogging and giving away a signed copy of her debut release, In for a Penny.

I have recently discovered Jill Shalvis and love her books. Her blog is super funny too. She has a writing style suffused with natural humour that I love. I have the first two books of this series to read next.
I love couples with a history and after reading the first two books it's clear that Harley and T.J. have a LOT going on... I Definitely can't wait to read it. Grrrr I hope I'll be lucky !!!
Thanks for the great contest ladies !!
Love this series!! I read the first one as soon as it was out and recently picked up #2, so I'm happy this one will be released soon soI can continue the Wilder Adventure!!
I've read her baseball books but haven't tried these yet - and I don't know why?! Would love to win one to get me started!
How fun to meet Jill Shalvis! I'd love to win the new book because I've really enjoyed the series - the characters, the setting, the stories are great.

Hi, Jill, glad to see you hear. Looking forward to this next book.
Good luck with it.
You must have had fun chatting with Jill; she is a funny lady.
How cool to meet Jill Shalvis! Great non-shiny picture :)
I've only recently discovered Ms. Shalvis' books (just read Slow Heat this month) and am looking forward to reading many more of her books.
Thanks!
I'm always excited to discover a new author. I've heard very good things about Jill Shalvis.
Thanks.
Like some others, I've only recently discovered her books and I'm really looking forward to reading them. All the reviews were quite good.
I agree with you, Jill is adorable. She's makes me laugh everyday on her blog. I would love a copy of Instant Temptation to add to my Jill Shalvis library.
Jill Shalvis is one of my favorite authors, and her "Instant" series is awesome! I can't wait for the last book...and I wish the series could go on a bit longer. Those Wilder bros are hot.
...because the story sounds very exciting! (And, the description of Wishful, California, sounds beautiful.) Please count me in!

Loved the first two books. I've been reading Jill's books since her Temptation days. Harley looks to be a great heroine.
I loved the other two books so I'm super excited to read Instant Temptation! So fun you got to meet her!

Several Shalvis books are on my TBR list, including this one. Thanks for generously sharing your copy with us.
Please Pick ME, I haven't had the pleasure yet of reading one of your novels. I've heard all good things about your writing. Would love the opportunity to get hooked.
Lynn R.
I would love to read this book because I love the previous 2 and can't wait to read this one.
hUM, I would just have to say that I am an uber Shalvis fan and having read the first two, I am dying to find out how the last brother Harley fairs!

I loved the first two. Can't wait to read TJ and Harley's story.
I don't think I've ever read a Jill Shalvis book that I didn't enjoy. I loved, loved, loved the first two Wilder brother books and I can't wait to finish up with TJ and Harley's story.
Hello,
My reason is impatience. I read the other two books in the Wilder series and of course, I can't wait to read Instant Temptation. I love connected books. Plus, Jill tells great stories. Thanks
I loved the picture, Holly! I am a big fan of Jill's books and her blog. All 3 of the Instant books are on my TBB list, and I would love to be able to check this one off the list. ;-)
I love Jill's books - would love to win this one.

I really like Jill Shalvis and her last 2 books Slow Heat and Double Play have been 2 of my recent favorites. Love those hunky, sports guys and their hard bodies!
