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.
Count me in! I bought Talk Me Down after the competition ended and it was amazing!

Your review for this story was excellent. I’m definitely reading this soon.

I love a good contemporary, and free would be even better.
Free books are always welcome; good ones even more so.
Holy lots o’comments, Batman! But I thought I’d enter, anyway. Gotta love the contemporary. Especially since I write them!
Sounds like a great read…sign me up for a free book!
I want to be in the random drawing! maybe this will make me like contemporaries..
Yay—I didn’t even realize Jill shalvis had a new one out this month. Sign me up for the drawing, please…
Please enter me in the drawing for the paper copy of the book.
I love books….. I also like all the blog reviews I am finding online
Did someone say free? I can totally get behind free!
Please count me in. I love Jill’s books! She always infuses her great sense of humor in her writing, not to mention the hot heroes. 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!
Since I never win if I respond early, I decided I’d wait for a while this time. I’d love a copy. I recently read Shalvis’ 2 Blazes about firefighters and had a blast with them. Would love to read this one and see how she translates to the longer format.
I’d love a copy – please enter me in the drawing!
Save the contemporary! Count me in!
I love all of the giveaways that you all do!! Thanks 🙂
That sounds awesome! I’d love to give it a try – I just picked up the Victoria Dahl book you recommended earlier this evening, and it’s got me in a contemporary kick right now.
Worth a shot! No one in their right mind turns down a chance at a free book.
I’ve been in such a contemporary groove right now, which is weird because like 4/5 of my bookshelf is historicals, but I’ve been burning through all mine. Clearly I need this book.
can I please be counted in on this? Yay!
It’s a book I’d add to my TBR pile. Count me in please.
The last several “save the contemporary” recommendations were dead on. Sign me up to maybe win a copy, knowing I’ll buy one if I don’t win.
count me in-sounds very interesting. Looking forward to reading this-winning it or not.
Never read a contemporary romance, so I am very interested in this free book!
Sounds like a great book!
Enter me please! This book sounds fab.
I choose books from your review list.
I’d love to read it. I’m in!!
Oh, please enter me in the contest.
Thanks!
Brenda Bradshaw told me that you were reviewing this book and about the book give-away. I have never read this particular author, but based on your review I need to take a look at this contemporary romance author. I am adding it to my list of books to read and would love to be included in the give-away.
if the book is anywhere as well written as that review was then I want a copy-
and you really do write a hella good review-
Count me in! AWESOME!
Add my name please. I’m really feeling the pressure to read this book! lol
Recently began reading Jill Shalvis and I can’t get enough!
