Here’s the deal: we dig this book. We dig this book like damn and whoa, and we think you will too. And yet, so many people say the contemporary romance is a dying breed. So, in order to spread the word and the opportunity to read it we’re doing a multi-level giveaway in tandem with our reviews of Instant Attraction
Part the First: free books! Leave a comment and you’re automatically entered to win a copy. We each have 5 paper copies of the book give away, so drop a word here and at Dear Author and double your chances. Comments will be open for 24 hours starting now.
Second: Spread the Word! Below is a Sprout widget about our campaign, and a simpler animated graphic. Right-click-and-save the graphic, or grab the Sprout for yourself, and put it on your site. Let us know that you’ve done so via email (sbj.contest @ gmail.com), and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book, plus a Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder.
Spread the word, let us know, and you’re entered to win. That’s it.
The Spread the Word winner will be announced in 1 week, so tune in on Monday 26 January to see who wins a book and a really kickass video camera in our quest to Save the Contemporary.
Why? Because if there’s one thing that makes us sad, it’s the idea of contemporary romance dying out. So spread the word, buy a contemporary, and save the world.
Here I am again, begging.

Love Jill Shalvis!
Can’t pass up the chance for a free book!
I’m always happy to save the contemporary. Or read a book. Anytime.
Here’s hoping especially as I’m not known for my winning ways.
I just recently found the fabulousness of contemporary trashy books, and I have to say, I love them! Actually, the book that I’m reading is a contemporary. I would love to get a free copy of this book!
Jill Shalvis is great. Thanks for the chance to win!
Please, please, please pick me. I want knew books but my wallet is telling me no 🙁
mememe?
Sounds like a great read … I’m in!
Wow. I thought it was dying too, but if ya’ll like it, its probably worth it!
I’m all about saving the contemporary romance. =)
Oh please sign me up!
it’s fabulous to find a chance to win a free book first thing in the morning.
Thanks, Smart Bitches!
Please put me in.
Please enter me! (I hope this doesn’t double post; I got an error the first time.) 😀
Ooooh, new Jill Shalvis! I can’t wait…sign me up!
ooh, please sign me up!
After the awesome Victoria Dahl rec a few months ago I trust your taste on contemporaries, I’ll read this for sure. I’m in!
sounds like a great read!
Booooook. Want book. 😀
I love me a good contemporary, so count me in.
A “Save the contemporary” tee sounds awesome (re: Jodie). I have a theory that I get 10% more tips at my bartending job if guys can “read” my chest. More if they can actually comment on what I’m wearing. That shirt would certainly generate conversation. A bonus would be if I actually won the book that it referenced!
sign me up! I love free books and your review is promising 🙂
LOL Ok now I have to jump in on this happy band wagon…. I’m all for saving stuff, whales, monkeys, contemporary books. Whatever. Just hand me a placard and wave me to where I’m to stand and I will be there.
Oh wait this is the internet, ok now I feel slightly useless, here I am willing to endure snow and freezing winds for the cause and I’m left just writing this goofy message on a board.
Hope my sincerity rings true, hope you know I fully appreciate what an endangered breed this contemporary romance book represents. I wouldn’t want the whole species to go extinct just because bloodsuckers and shape-shifters have taken over the world with there well thought out campaign of gore and biting being the new sexiest thing. Now that’s HOT. Ooops I mean, bad vamp, down dog, let the regular Joe humans have a fighting chance here!
Well count me in in the quest to re-establish regular humane males back to the forerunner in romance! Grrr get me a Sugar Daddy, um I mean, Go sexy contemporary romance, Go!
Free book? Why the hell not?
whoo-hooo free books….and one that sound so good!
Just bought two contemp romances in the last week….but not this one. Would love to check it out.
Sign me up. The one Jill Shalvis book I read was seriously bad, but bad in a way that made me think I might like other things by her. A free book would be an excellent way to test that theory.
Hooray for contests! Hooray for free books! 🙂
The cover does nothing for me (repeat: NOTHING) but I can’t resist any novel that promises laughs.
Oh, yes please! Your last contemporary recommendation was fantastic read so am definitely going to have to grab this one now.
I’d love to read a book that you love like “damn and whoa”. Sign me up.
(PS – I was going to say “Enter me” but that sounds a bit rude 🙂
Sign me up, plz!
I already like her stuff and charming? I’m up for charming.
Free! 🙂 It sounds good…
I want to win!
I really enjoyed Karen Hawkins new contemporary, although I LOVE her historicals—but I don’t read that many contemp’s.
*excited hand raising* Oh! Oh! Me! Pick me!
You guys keep convincing me to read more Contemporaries. There goes my wallet. ^___^
Me! I’d like to enter the random drawing for Instant Attraction.
