Jill is generously offering a book from her backlist to one lucky reader - how exciting! I will draw one name from everyone who posts here between now and Sunday, September 16. The drawing will be around 9:00 p.m. (Eastern) on the 16th. Please tell your friends to stop by - if they mention you, you'll be entered an additional time for each mention.
I know I've chatted on here before about how much I enjoy the work of Jill Shalvis http://www.jillshalvis.com/ but it bears repeating - she's one of my absolute favorite authors and is just plain nice, to boot! Jill has a new book releasing in October '07 (which means it could be available by the end of this month, I'm guessing) - THE TROUBLE WITH PARADISE - and it is bunches of fun. Be sure to take a minute to stop by Jill's blog and read about the escapades and antics of Jill and her family. It is one of my first stops every morning. I was fortunate enough to review this book for Jill on behalf of Romance Junkies - this is my (4.5 blue ribbons!) review:
From Shop Mart in Los Angeles to sandy white island beaches, THE TROUBLE WITH PARADISE follows the adventures of a young woman who’s certain that true love will forever elude her. It takes a shipboard accident, a baseball player, a French doctor, and murder and mayhem to prove her wrong.
Dorie Anderson is biding her time working a dead-end job at Shop Mart, working day by day for a nasty, inconsiderate boss while dreaming of someday selling her own designs. When she wins a free cruise to Fiji, things begin to look up. That is until she takes a spill over her luggage the very first day of the cruise, which catches the attention of not one, but two eligible guys. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the sort of attention Dorie has in mind for this cruise. Andy, a professional baseball player who is a consummate ladies’ man, and Christian, the ship’s dark and intriguing doctor, both make their interest known. The worry of which guy might be right for her takes a flying leap when bad things begin to happen, like a dead passenger and a shipwreck on a deserted island. All thoughts of romance are soon overshadowed by the threat of an unknown killer.
Typical of a Jill Shalvis heroine, Dorie is absolutely adorable and readers will find her irresistible and will champion Dorie’s simple wish for happiness, someone to appreciate and love her, and her own clothing design business. THE TROUBLE WITH PARADISE does have touches of trouble as well as paradise, but it is also written with the trademark wit of Jill Shalvis, and just the right touch of passion and sensuality.
Don't forget to check out Jill's website for more of her upcoming books, and take a peek at her blog while you're there! Here's a link to Amazon for anyone who wants to pop over and snag a copy of their very own! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0425217191/authorjillsha-20
Thanks as always for stopping by!
