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.

HI!! This book is so on my to buy list!!! It would be fantastic if I won it! 😉 lol
THANKS!
The review sounds good, sign me up!
sign me up…but if you don’t pick me it is already on my list to buy on January 27!
If I don’t win, it’s going on my library request list. Love the NYPL! and the site!
I give up trying to paste anything widget or otherwise to facebook or myspace. I just can’t do it.
Otherwise I would be happy to cause I would really like to win. but since the kid who used to do this is no longer here and instead of showing me how would just do it like Speedy Gonzales, I am still not able to figure it out.
Being old is a bitch sometimes.
Oh! I am still so happy that you guys are promoting the Contemporary! 🙂
I kind of gave up on contemporaries because it seemed like they were all about cowboys, cops, millionaires, and girls who like shoes way, way more than I do. Basically I seemed to relate more to the characters in historicals. But that was years ago and I am sufficiently intrigued by the recommendations that I am currently waiting for “Talk Me Down” to arrive from Amazon. So maybe I will have to be giving the genera another shot.
I want one.
Add my name, please!
