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.
Your review makes this book sound super awesome. I’d love to win a copy!
I love me some contemporary romances. Being free makes them even better! 😀

Damn and Woah?

I love contemporary novels – and Jill Shalvis. I try to stop by her blog daily. Save the contemporary!
[Heh -and my antispam word is “british77” – which is fun because I almost mentioned that my first love/what brought me to romances were historical romances.]

(btw—spam word is head42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything? Perhaps!)
I was a total book snob until I read Crusie’s WTT and fell in love with contemporary romances. I progressed to historicals, paranormals and every other kind of romance. Now I’m an equal opportunity reader, but contemporary romance still holds a special place in my heart.
This sounds like a great book. I’d love to win a copy!
I would love to read this.
Thanks
Those reviews sure got me curious—I’m in!
[feebly waves hand in the crowd]
Good Lord there are a lot of entries! You know I would love to read this book right? And you know I am your new best friend right? I WANNA WIN!
I’m a fan of Jill’s books and would love to win “Instant Attraction.”
I’ll check it out, but I haven’t read a contemporary in quite some time now…
Oh please! I’d love a copy!
Save the contemporary, sod the historical. No-one does it like Georgette Heyer so stop trying!
Hey there are still a LOT of us around who love a hot, steamy…a little bit trashy book 🙂 I have one friend that reads them constanly and she is 75 years old haha.
