I just realized that I can have a lot of fun with this title.
You, too, can be Busted by Shiloh Walker!
“What happened?”
“I won a giveaway!”
“What was the prize?”
“Busted by Shiloh Walker.”
“You won the right to be busted by Shiloh Walker?”
I better stop now. That one’s a bit of stretch.
Shiloh Walker has four ARCs of her upcoming book to give away, and fun title games aside, isn’t that cover beautiful?!
The first two books in the series also had great covers. I liked Wrecked, which came out two years ago, and Razed came out in December. Wrecked was a friends-to-lovers story, while Busted is a “I shouldn’t be attracted to you, darn it” story, with a hero who feels like he can’t be with anyone else since his wife died.
Here’s the cover copy for Busted by Shiloh Walker:
Like his brothers Zach and Zane, Trey Barnes thought he had found the love of his life. But fate had other plans. A widower who’s had to raise his five-year-old son on his own, Trey has not allowed himself to be with another woman.
Until he meets Ressa Bliss at—of all places—a children’s library program. The beautiful librarian is wonderful with his son, Clay, but every time Trey even considers asking her out, he is tortured by guilt.
Fate is indeed fickle. When the two meet again at a conference, this time the attraction is too powerful to resist. But is their connection and passion strong enough to survive Trey’s deep inner torment?
Would you like to win a paper ARC? All you have to do is comment and tell us what you’d do while reading this ARC that might be bust-worthy. Call in sick and read all day? Hide the chocolate from your family and save it all for yourself? If Shiloh were going to personally bust you, what would you be doing?
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. This giveaway is open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to be Busted by Shiloh Walker to win. Busted! The words in this entry should be read only by those persons to whom it was addressed. It was addressed to you so read on, my friend, read on. Comments will close at noon ET on Friday 10 April, and winners will be selected by random integer, which to my knowledge has never been Busted by Shiloh Walker.
Thank you to Shiloh Walker (who I imagine cannot be Busted by Shiloh Walker because she IS Shiloh Walker, unless maybe she’s busting herself?) for the ARCs, and good luck!
We have winners! Congratulations to Vicki S, Heather B, Jenna O, and Erica H – you’ve won an ARC of Busted! I will be in touch to coordinate delivery. Thank you for entering, everyone, and have a great weekend!


I would be breaking all rules of fashion.
I will drink all of the bourbon I the house while reading Busted! Actually, I hope I take several days to read it then, Bc the big bottle was on sale last time at the store!
I would probably be busted reading the book while eating lots of chocolate, and also ignoring the pile of dirty dishes in the sink.
I would be busted staying up way too late to finish the book, and coming in to work at a 40% effectiveness
I would be reading it while walking back and forth to the hospital from the office and probably jaywalking without looking – yeah, could actually be Busted.
Reading the book while eating dessert *before* dinner… BUSTED
I would most definitely call in sick … and I’d likely be busted almost immediately since my boss is also my landlord, and works from the same building. I’d have to really work hard like Ferris Bueller with a recorded list of coughing sounds.
Staying up all night definitely and maybe call out…
I would definitely be busted staying up too late reading the book!
I could get busted reading Busted while on a terminally boring conference call.
Eating all the chocolate sounds pretty good.
I would most likely be busted reading this at work. As happens way too often.
I would be busted having dessert AS dinner. Just because.
I could “bust a move” 80s or 90s-style. lol.
I would probably bust a few seams eating my hidden jumbo bag of M&Ms 😀
I would be busted nose in book still in my pjs in the middle of the afternoon.
I would totally lock the doors, turn off the phone and be in my pjs 🙂 thanks for the fun giveaway!
I’m busted just trying to think of something cute enough to win.
I’d be busted reading this in my pajamas all day on the lanai – which is in front of the house – and my pajamas are not necessarily fit for public consumption.
Outlander. Absolutely!
Hmm. I’d probably be busted pouring the good scotch into my Coca Cola. So good, but so not mine to be drinking.
I would be busted reading all day long in my pj’s and eating Easter candy.
@scifigirl I would totally bust you for that! Why would you do that good Scotch? :{
I would probably be reading this while my entire house stayed messy and dirty.
I would be busted with 4 or 5 loads of laundry making zero progress towards the washing machine. Ditto the dishes. A girl’s gotta have her priorities.
I would be busted reading at a baseball game!
I’d be busted allowing my 6yo son (on school holidays) to have a PJ day, letting him watch too much tv and play on the ipad, so I could read.
I’d be happy to eat chocolate while reading Busted. (Some chocolate crumbs might well adorn my bust before the book is done.)
I would be busted for staying up until the wee hours of the morning to finish the story 🙂
I’d skip out on some evening plans with the excuse of needing to get stuff done. If I got Busted, I’d just say I never specified what I was going to get done.
I would eat chocolate and lay on my favorite sofa as if I was taking naps 😀
I would be busted reading this at work.
I would stay up till 7am reading, which I actually did with a book this weekend. Then proceeded to sleep a total of 3 hours and then stayed up till 3 the next morning on the next book in the same series. I make excellent life choices.
Maybe pretend headache to get alone time to read during the day
I would call out for the day & stay home in my comfortable knock-arounds, diving into the emergency supply of chocolate hiding in the freezer. Since my knock-arounds are on-their-last-legs tank tops, sans bra, & shorts, I could get busted for at least four different offenses (work, fashion police, indecent exposure if I coughed or something, & hubby). Hey, I live life on the edge!
I’d have tea, water bottle and some bitesized cookies ready and then just read, read, read ^_^
I would be busted staying up all night reading the book, I would be busted again for calling out from work because I didn’t get any sleep!
Girl where have you been all my life? Just recognizing the potential for Busted jokes makes me want to read it
i would not call my parents because of how “busy” i was… busy reading that is
I´d most definitively call in sick to read all day AND hide all the chocolate 😉
