Jill Shalvis sure did spread the excerpt love around here and we couldn’t be more excited! Here’s another excerpt from TJ’s book, Instant Temptation.
I’m so frickin’ excited about this book because I have lusted after TJ since we first meet him in this series and I have been pretty anxious for his book.
Now that it’s finally on its way to the bookstore, how could I not jump for joy?
Check out the latest excerpt from the book:
…She pushed free of him and paced the length of the kitchen, which means she got about five feet before turning around and smacking right into the hard wall of TJ’s chest. He stood there, filling the kitchen with his larger-than-life presence, making the room seem even smaller than it was.
“Want me to tell you what I think?” he asked.
“Are you about to agree with me about the trip?”
“No.”
“Then no.”
He smiled, laugh lines fanning out from his sharp green eyes. “Still stubborn.”
“And you’re still . . .” She couldn’t think of an insult. With an annoyed huff, she moved toward the front door and opened it for him. “Thanks for coming. We’ll have to do it again sometime.
Buh-bye now.”TJ smiled, reached over her head, and shut the door. “Let’s do it again now.”
She thunked her head against the wood. She felt him lightly run his fingers down her spine, which caused a sensuous shiver, but when he spoke, the amusement was gone from his voice, replaced by a gut-wrenching gentleness. “Harley, why didn’t you tell me you needed money?
Oh, God. “I—“
The phone rang, saving her pride, and she leapt for it, then hesitated, standing there in front of the answering machine.
At the third ring, TJ raised a brow. “You going to get that?”
“I’m trying to decide.”
The machine clicked on and Harley’s voice invited the caller to do their thing at the beep, and then her landlord’s voice filled the small apartment.
“Harley Stephens, you’re avoiding me.”
Crap. Harley hit the volume button, but not in time to avoid her landlord’s next line.
“You are ten days late on rent, missy. I need—“
Harley smacked the volume again and again, until the voice could no longer be heard.
Gaping silence.
Her back was still to TJ, so she closed her eyes and wished for a nice big hole to vanish into.
“Harley.”
“Don’t say it.” Without meeting his gaze, she tried to move around him, but once again his hands came up to hold her in place. She could snap at him or shove him, but the truth was, she liked his touch.
Too much.
Which told her just how bad off she was.

I would absolutely adore to win this giveaway! I have heard great things about Jill Shalvis and I’ve enjoyed reading her book excerpts. However, I have never read one of her books! I am so ready to start a new series! I would love to win “Instant Attraction” and then follow up with the next two books in the series : )

Me Me Me!! I read instant attraction as soon as it was released but never got around to picking up Instant Gratification! Would love to have a copy so that I’ll be ready to pick up Instant Temptation as soon as it comes out!!
I want to read them because I have heard great things about Jill Shalvis’ books. This series is different than what I usually read (paranormals, historicals), so it would be a nice change of pace. If I won, I would like Instant Attraction because I want to start from the beginning!

I don’t read a lot of contemporary authors despite the fact that I enjoy the ones I do read. I would love to discover a new author in this genre.
I would love to read either one because they have gotten some great reviews and look like some fun stories.
I’d love to read the first book in the series.
Thanks,

I enjoy a good contemporary romance, and Jill is a great writer. I’d love to win Instant Attraction because I haven’t had a chance to start this series yet.
