It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Jill Shalvis. She was probably one of our best finds in 2008. At the end of this month she has a new book coming out. Instant Attraction is the first book in a new trilogy about 3 brothers who own an outdoor adventure business together.
To celebrate it’s release we’re bringing you a month of Instant Attraction. Every week this month we’ll be featuring a review along with a giveaway and Jill Shalvis herself is going to be visiting and doing her own giveaway!
Dear Author and The Smart Bitches (along with many other blogs, this one included) have been lamenting the lack of good, straight contemporary romances recently. For any of you who have been looking – Instant Attraction is a must buy. I was hooked right from the beginning and all the way through the end.
Accountant Katie Kramer is a quintessential good girl – working hard, recycling diligently, all the while trying to ignore the feeling that she doesn’t fit in anywhere. That’s all she wants. Well, that – and amazing sex, and the kind of daredevil escapade she can look back on when she’s crunching numbers in a dusty cubicle. Which explains why she just took a job in Wishful, California, working for Wilder Adventures and Expeditions. Waking up to find a magnificently built stranger towering over her bed – that part defies explanation…After wandering the planet for months following a life-changing accident, Cameron Wilder has come back to the only home he knows. Under other circumstances, he might be thrilled to find a gorgeous woman sleeping in his cabin, but now, while he’ll risk his body taking clients on adrenaline-drenched excursions, his heart is off limits. Still, Katie’s killer smile triggers something deep in his gut…among other places. Showing her how exhilarating it can be to stop balancing her life as if it was a check book is the biggest rush he’s ever felt – and an adventure Katie’s wishing would never end…
I hope you’ll stick around and play with us!
This sounds like fun!!
I’ve been looking for some good contemporaries to read. I’ll have to add this one to my list of Feb releases.
Instant Attraction Month sounds like it will be fun.
I love the Shalvis! W00t!
Oh yeah I’m totally on board. I freakin’ LOVED “Instant Attraction”. She, as Wena would say, rocks my socks.

Fun!! I love Jill’s books 🙂
Sounds like a good-kind-of different story – and I love that the cover model is an unfamiliar face to me. Definitely will check this one out!
Where can I find a magnificently built stranger to tower over me? LOL
