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

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.

Say it ain’t so… It’s my fave romance category.
I started reading contemps in the late 80’s. YES, I’m that old!!
I was saddened when a lot of my favorite authors changed to romantic suspense…Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Lowell,Sandra Brown etc just to name a few.
Now, to hear that contemps are dying…
I love Jill Shalvis’ humor, her character’s chemistry!!
Please put me in for “Instant Attraction”!!
I’m hoping that people are just temporarily cutting back due to the horrible economy.
Please don’t take my contemps away!! They’re my favorites too!!
Is it Too late? Do you send to Europe, too?
The book sounds interesting. 🙂
