Instant Temptation
June 23, 2009 | Filed under: Stuff
This book is the third in the Wilder Adventure series, and doesn’t come out until next April but I just got the cover. I’m currently writing this book and thought maybe you’d like to see a very rough, very unedited sneak peek. Remember key words: rough and unedited.
Excerpt:
Harley opened the door to his knock and said nothing, which wasn’t polite, but she wasn’t feeling polite. She was feeling out of control, unnerved, and off-balance – three things that TJ Wilder probably never felt.And something else he apparently didn’t feel — the need to fill a silence. Instead he stood there, well over six feet of hard muscle and testosterone, doing what he’d been doing all her life without even trying – affecting her brain cells, turning them to mush.
Yes, just looking at him turned her from an educated biologist into a drooling imbecile. He had a lot of sun-kissed brown hair, wavy and unruly, falling over his forehead and deep-set, assessing, sharp green eyes that missed exactly nothing. He was tanned from long days in the high altitude sun spent trekking and guiding across trails that would make a city guy’s bowels go weak.
“Why are you here?” she asked. Not exactly a friendly greeting, but her reasons for not being comfortable with TJ were as complicated as everything else in her life at the moment.
His eyes said he’d registered her tone and was thinking about smiling. “You going to invite me in?”
Ah, he speaks. But no. Hell, no. That would be a little bit like inviting in the big bad wolf.
To remind you, Instant Attraction came first (1/09) and
Instant Gratification is now shipping from HERE if you’re so inclined. Which I really hope you are.

Another gorgeous cover, Jill. Love the excerpt too.
Jill, which books will you be signing at Nationals? I can’t wait.

I love the fact that you used “drooling imbecile” and “bowels” in the same paragraph! That’s what makes your romance writing lively and different! You go, girl!

I’m still wiping the drool off my chin! My god that guy is gorgeous. It’s going to be a long cold winter. Maybe you could give out that guys name(ok ok I’m probably old enough to be his mother, but a girl needs something to fanatisize about). Great title and excerpt(rough and unedited, huh. sounds yummy.

Very nice cover! I can’t wait to read the second and third books in this series.

If this is rough and unedited, I’ll eat my undies. Your version of rough and unedited and my version definitely aren’t the same. This sounds great to me. I wouldn’t change anything. Looking forward to reading both books.

Oh, and yes. Totally diggin’ the cover. He’s got a wolfish look about him.
