Excerpt (+ a Giveaway): Forever and a Day by Jill Shalvis

Posted August 23, 2012 by Holly in Giveaways, News | 74 Comments

We have some exciting news to share, via Jill Shalvis’ blog:

So I’ve had a lot of email, FB and blog posts asking me what’s next, and finally I have an answer for you… My publisher (Grand Central) has just contracted me to write more Lucky Harbor novels!!

I don’t have any more details other than that. Okay, well I sort of do. I know that there will be a new trilogy. I know that the first new hero will be a San Francisco Lieutenant Detective who goes through hell at work and escapes to the house his grandma left him in Lucky Harbor. All Luke Hanover wants is peace and quiet, except … there’s a woman in his house, looking a little bit wild and crazy as she stands nearly naked in his kitchen breaking up with someone’s voice mail.

Score! We’re talking at least 3 more Lucky Harbor books. If any of them are half as good as Forever and a Day, we’re in for some good reading.

Speaking of Forever and a Day, we have a little snipped to tease you with…

The morning went so smoothly that Josh got an actual lunch break. He met Ty and Matt at the Love Shack, Lucky Harbor’s bar and grill. They’d beaten him there and were seated at a table hunched over Cosmo magazine.

“It was on the table when I got here,” Matt said in his defense.

Josh eyed the open magazine. “You don’t already know how to satisfy your boyfriends in bed?”

Matt ignored this. “Did either of you know there’s ninety-nine ways to give a blow job? That’s ninety-nine nights of blow jobs.”

“Look at you with the math skills,” Josh said.

Matt flipped him off while Ty flipped the page. “‘How to Give Your Hoo-Ha a Spa Day.’ Huh,” he said. “I didn’t know a woman’s hoo-ha needed a spa day.”

Ha. I love these guys. If you haven’t already, go buy a copy. It’s a stellar book.

Forever and a Day is available from Forever. You can buy it here or here in e-format.

Haven’t tried the series yet? Want to? Well, we’ve got you covered. We’re giving away 5 books from the Lucky Harbor series (excludes Forever and a Day). Leave a comment with your choice and we’ll throw your name in the hat. Contest ends Thursday, 8/30 @ 11:59pm. Please note: You must include a valid email address with your comment to be eligible.

You can choose from:

    Have not checked these books out, but from the excerpt provided, I see I am going to have to remedy that!

  2. Sharon Person

    Would love to check this series out! Always looking for new authors to read. Lucky Harbor sounds like a great place to live!

  3. Kendra Ogles (kaos1385@aol.com)

    I don’t have a preference to which one I win. I just started the series last week and love them all so far! I will definitely be adding them to the permanent collection 🙂

    The Sweetest Thing, please. I’ve just started reading this series and that’s the next one.

  5. I love the Lucky Harbor series! The first three were fantastic, Jill! 🙂 I would love to win Lucky in Love or At Last.

  6. suztip

    I am choosing The Sweetest Thing,,,I also have not read one of your books but they look like I would really enjoy them,,,so really hope I get chosen,,,

  7. Christine Houser

    I would love to get At Last, I love all of your books so I am good either way, thank for the opportunity to try and win 🙂

  8. At Last … I have every Jill Shalvis book printed (well, I’m still missing 3), I even have some in every format printed (trade size AND mass market). We no longer have a new bookstore in our city – and I can’t afford the extra postage to buy on-line. Please, please, please … I need this book. My luck has got to change. LOL

  9. Read them all and loved them lol. If I had to choose my favorite it would be The Sweetest Thing. Jill is absolutely AMAZING and if you haven’t picked up her series you’re missing out!

  10. I have read the first two, Simply Irresistible and The Sweetest Thing and I loved them both! Would love to win one of the others:)

    I borrowed At Last from the library. I would love to own it.
    There is so much more to this story than the romance, life lessons we can all experience. I want to re-read it over and over again Thanks for the chance

  12. I’ve been wanting to read this series for ages but I still haven’t! I read ‘Her Sexiest Mistake’ a few years ago and loved it. I don’t know if my entry counts since I’m in Canada (sorry if you said and I missed it), but I’d choose Simply Irresistible if I could. 🙂

  13. I’ve read all of these except Head Over Heels, so I would love a copy of that one. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  14. I love Jill Shalvis’ books! I feel like I am apart of the story lines. I can’t wait for the next 3 in the series! Thanks for this opportunity to win one of her books. I would love Forever and a Day because I haven’t read that one yet 🙂

  15. Pam C.

    Thanks bunches for the chance. I’ve got the first 2 on my TBR shelf so I’ll pick Lucky in love I guess. Now I’ve decided to go ahead and start the first book today.

  16. kyla whitley

    Exciting news, Ms. Jill Shalvis!! Write faster !! Kidding. I would love all your books, but since I can only choose one at this time, I’ll take your 1st book, SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE. Thank you for the giveaway!! I forgot to tell you yesterday … your looking pretty today, too! My email address is: jukyjoauka.com. 😀

    I would take any of them since I really enjoyed them all. I guess At Last would be my “if I have to pick one” choice. Also, trying to work out plans to meet you in NYC in September…..have to figure out logistics of getting there from Philly and taking care of animals if hubby not available….

  20. Oh yeah, thanks so much for the information on the three new books in the series – I’m so happy that it will go on 🙂

    I would love to win The Sweetest Thing 🙂
    I’ve read the first book in the series and absolutely loved it! After that I bought the whole second trilogy in the series but haven’t had the chance to get book #2 and #3… don’t know why, but I’ve to catch up.

    Wish you all the best,
    Melanie

  21. I would love a copy of sweetest thing. I am trying to collect all the books so I can start this series. I am so anxious to read these books.

  22. I LOVE Jill and the Lucky Harbor series.

    Unfortunately, I haven’t read the last two books. 🙁

    I would choose to get At Last.

    kvmatlock(at)gmail(dot)com

  23. I still haven’t read the last two books in this series, so I’d love to win At Last.
    Thank you for the giveaway!

  24. I haven’t read this series yet but it sounds fantastic. I’d love to read the book that started it all, Simply Irresistible. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I haven’t read this series, so any of them would be fine. In case we have to pick one, then Simply Irresistible.

  26. YAY!
    I’m really happy there are going to be more books on the series, and I love the format of it – the the little trilogies being linked together because they all happen in Lucky Harbor but each trilogy is kind of self contained too, dealing with groups of friends.

    These have been some seriously fab Contemporary romances.

  27. I just love Jill Shalvis!
    Her books are so funny and I’m a big fab of the continuity, just getting to know what happened to the people after their story/book ends.

    The only lucky harbor book I don’t already have is forever and a day, so of course I would like a copy of that one!

    I haven’t read any of this author’s books yet, but have read good reviews on them. Would love to win ” At Last”. Thanks!

  29. I have wanted to try this series forever, but never seem to pick one up.
    I would like to start at the beginning because that is the best place to start and because Maddy sounds like my kind of person.
    SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE would be my first choice, but any would be appreciated.

  30. I have the first and last in this series so I really need one of the middle 3!! Thanks so much for the chance. I’ve enjoyed so many of her books!

    since I like to start at the beginning of a series I’d pick ‘Simply Irresistible’.

    I have heard so many good reviews about this series from my friends.
    I think for a start I would choose ‘Simply Irresistible’.

    I’d really like to win Simply Irresistible because it’s the 1st in the series 🙂

    savedbymercy(at)gmail(dot)com

  35. i’m new for this series, so i guess the 1st book would be my best choice but personally any book isn’t a problem.

    ps, i’m international, so i hope it’s open for international too.
