SUPERB AND SEXY

May 26, 2008 | Filed under: Stuff

It’s here! It hit our local bookstores and is shipping from Barnes And Noble!

So do an author a favor and go forth and purchase. Here’s an exclusive tidbit to tide you over until it arrives.

Excerpt:
“It was nice of you to visit,” Maddie said. “But as you can see, now’s not a good time.”

Brody lifted his hand and traced a finger over the exit wound on the back of her shoulder. “Are you feeling okay?”

She loved his touch. Way too much. “Yes.” Unfortunately, the man was a virtual mule when he wanted to be, unmovable, staunch in his opinions. On her best day she might have gone toe to toe with him no problem, using that voice of honey she’d perfected, her smile of ice and the argumentative skills she’d honed well over the years. She was every bit as stubborn as he, and she would have won, she’d have seen to it.

But this wasn’t her best day, not by far. In fact, it was quickly gearing up to be one of her top three worst ever. “Don’t make me kick your ass out of here.”

“I think I can take you.”

With a sigh, she dropped her forehead to the door and just breathed. Not easy with well over six feet of solid warm muscle encroaching the personal space behind her.

And he was encroaching.

Not that her body minded. Nope, it had apparently disengaged from her brain and was making a break for freedom.

But then he did something that made it all the more difficult. He stepped even closer, so that she actually felt his thighs brush the backs of hers. His chest did the same to her back, and then, oh God, and then she felt his breath on her temple.

She had to close her eyes. Don’t turn around because then you’ll be in his arms, and you just might be stupid enough to kiss him again, get lost in him . . .

He slipped an arm around her waist, hard and corded with strength. Adrenaline and something else, something much more dangerous to her well-being washed through her veins, followed by a high tide of stark, desperation.

If she pushed back against that body, she could rub all her good spots to his. No.

Yes.

Her mind continued to war with her hormones, but then he leaned in, just a little, and put his mouth to her ear. “Tell me one thing at least.”

She swallowed hard, because he even smelled good. Sort of woodsy, and so very, very male. She could feel her heart racing, which was at complete odds with his, beating slow and sure and smooth. Damn it. She was supposed to be slow and sure and smooth! “What?”

  19. Jill says:

    I’m so glad that those of you who got your hands on the book have enjoyed it! I have to admit to being devastated when I’d finished writing it, because it meant the series was over.

    But that’s the thing about my job. I can just start another . . . :bananadance:

  20. kim h says:

    I have been waiting for this to come out since I read the first encounter between these two in the first book… and I have waited long enough! FINALLY I get to read their story! :bananadance:
    But of course, I have to get through two papers and finals week before I can truly enjoy it… Blah!
    Hope you had a good Memorial Day!

  22. Stacy ~ says:

    LOVED it completely.

  23. Pat L. says:

    Loved the excerpt. Can’t wait to read it. :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance:

  24. JL says:

    To say that I am waiting IMpatiently for amazon.com to ship my preordered copy is a gross understatement. I’ve been waiting for this story since January….

  25. Sonya says:

    I was the lucky winner of the contest when Jill gave away an ARC of this book. (I danced like a jackass in my living room I was so excited about it!) All I can say is GET IT NOW! Here’s some of what I wrote to Jill after I finished.

    “What a great story for Maddie and Brody! I absolutely loved it and I’m sure all your readers will, too. I’ve loved all of the characters in this series of books, but Maddie and Brody tugged at my heart in ways I never expected. They each have so much strength and depth with a vulnerability that makes them so appealing and relatable. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed each book and really appreciate being able to read this story in advance of its release date. Thank you. (I knew my jackass victory dance was not in vain.)

    And thank you for writing books I love to read. I know when I buy one of your books I’m always in for a good laugh, maybe a good cry and definitely a great story.

    Looking forward to many more.”

    If you love this series one tenth as much as I do, you couldn’t possibly be disappointed in this book.

    Enjoy!

  26. Karin says:

    I am definitely looking forward to reading this as soon as I get the rest of my TBR pile down to where it should be. It’s going well now that I actually have time to read for pleasure again. So…it will be soon! :)

  27. Ashley says:

    Did you know that my library considers this erotica and won’t let me get it? *sniff*
