We interrupt this Day of HaBO-lation to … give away some books! Jill Sorenson is giving away five ARCs of her her debut single-title romance Crash Into Me, due out in January 2009. Crash Into Me is about a tough female FBI agent placed undercover to investigate a gorgeous-hot but reclusive pro surfer.
Want one? She’s looking for help among the brilliance of the Bitchery: her editor at Bantam is looking for sexy/provocative song lyrics or titles for the title of her next book. “Crash Into Me” is, obviously, the extremely sultry Dave Matthews Band song, so her editor wants to keep with that theme. Jill’s untitled book, to be released in fall 2009, features “a wildlife expert heroine and a reluctant sheriff hero, investigating a mountain lion mauling in the fictional desert town of Tenaja Falls, California.”
[Note: Wildlife expert heroine?! Wildlife expert?! Paging Paul Tolme! Paging Paul Tolme!]
Jill will pick the winners this time tomorrow, and winners will each receive a shiny, spiffy ARC of Crash Into Me. Winners are humbly asked to post a review or their thoughts of the book on their own blogs, or to post them as a comment to the winner’s announcement tomorrow.
Here are some awful suggestions that are easy to beat to get you started: The Lion Sleeps Tonight!. Dude Looks Like a Lion! And… wait for it… wait for it… Love Bites!
Truly, there aren’t enough 80’s Hair Band Power Ballads used as romance novel titles, and that’s a damn hairy shame.
My suggestions are:
Breathe Into Me by Red or
Fall Into Me by Emerson Drive
Voice in the Wilderness – Amie Street
Into You – Fabolous
Falling Into You – Celine Dion
Catch My Fall – Billy Idol
Then the Night Comes – Billy Idol
World Comin’ Down – Billy Idol
Back to You – John Mayer
Harder to Breathe – Maroon 5
She Will be Loved – Maroon 5
Through With You – Maroon 5
Beauty and the Beast- Disney
*ahem*
View To A Kill- Duran Duran
New Kid In Town- The Eagles
Anything You Can Do- Annie Get Your Gun
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (The Theme From)
Dead Man’s Curve (lyrics aren’t really appropriate but the title might be)
*headdesk*
And how could I forget Desert Rose by Sting
Sheesh, people! So many great suggestions, and no Lucinda Williams yet? Here, have some “Essence”:
Baby, sweet baby, kiss me hard
Make me wonder who’s in charge>/i>
>a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_TUS8KVLfQ”>“Fruits of my labors” is also pure sex, but the lyrics aren’t as raunchy. p.s. for the rockers, may I recommend “real live bleeding fingers (and broken guitar strings)”.
Second choice: Elvis Costello, “I want you”:
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
Captures pure obsession, though it’s uh not so much with the romance.
She should do a DMB series of books:
Crush
Rapunzel
The Space Between
American Baby
and maybe even So Damned Lucky
Here’s the perfect title for you WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE by Guns n Roses!!

Animal by Def Leppard
a wild ride, over stony ground
such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
we are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
just like a river runs, like fire needs flame
oh, i burn for you
Only issue would be the word wolf in the rest of the lyrics.
U2 – Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
U2 – Love Comes Tumbling
Sarah McLachlan – Building a Mystery
Hmm… Must think some more …
Bryan Adams – Run to You
Ludo – Love Me Dead
Sting – After the Rain Has Fallen
One Republic – Somewhere Only We Know

LOL Sorry if I doubled any. Guess I’ll have to keep thinking…
Into Something Good
From that oldie with the lyrics, “Something tells me I’m into something good”. Maybe not a perfect title for the book mentioned but surely a great title for any that might be coming!
Got What it Takes (Koko Taylor classic)
Them There Eyes (Billie Holiday, creepy sounding but cat appropriate)
This might have already been said but:
A View to A Kill by Duran Duran is what first came to mind.

Private Universe by Crowded House
Weak In the Knees (Serena Ryder version)
Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
No Beginning, No End by Hawksley Workman
Sigh.

Oh, a surfer!!! And too a hot one during the cold winter months here!
I’m deaf so I’m not familiar with alot of songs, but I did a bit of a search and came up with these two and hope something what you looking for. (First one is here and other is on next blog) This is a favorite of mine and hubby’s when we met:
Fleetwood Mac : LANDSLIDE
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
‘Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older too
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
“I Surrender” by my girl Celine Dion

“Blister in the Sun” by Violent Femmes
