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.
Please enter me in the competition too!

I love her books. Would be great to win this.
I can’t tell if I think the the guy on the cover is sexy or creepy…luckily I’ve never had that problem with guys in real life. Yeesh!
Coming out of lurkdom for a great read. Please, pick me!!!
I love contemps – that is all I read and I love Jill. So what is that nonsense I have been hearing that contemporaries are dying?
And yes, I would love to win Jill’s book. She is a hoot.
I’ve never read any of Ms. Shalvis work. This looks like a good place to start.
I love her!! She is one of my auto buys everytime!!!
Loved the review and I will read this book and enjoy it. I love tortured heroes and heroines who get their acts together and learn to live and love again.
Wow! You must have struck a cord cause there are LOTS of comments. Hope I win. I haven’t read a contemporary in a while.

I would love to win a copy of Jill’s latest book!
I’m not usually a contemporary romance kind of girl, but your review sparked my interest. It’s time to switch my reading up a bit, I’ll have to give this one a try
Would love to read it! Free is always a good thing!
I’d love to win a copy of the book! I read all kinds of books, but haven’t read a good contemporary lately. Please enter me in the drawing!
Love Jill! Love Contemporaries! Historicals are not my thing either, except Nicole Jordan and select fav authors who write one occasionally.
Please pick me, I love contemporary but haven’t found a good one in so long!!!!
I ought to read more romance.

I am always open to reading a good contemporary romance. From the books description and your comments about it, this is definitely one I would be interested in reading.
I’d love to win a copy. But (I’m lame! Mea culpa, mea culpa!) I don’t have a site. MyFacebook page is the closest I can manage.
I’ve got this on my reserve list at my local library but I would love a free copy! *puppy eyes*
Yaaay! Just entering a contest for free books makes me feel like I’ve got a free book.
