And I can’t button my pants. Okay, I lie. I’m not wearing pants. I’m wearing yoga pants. But they’re too tight. And also, this is true.
Anyway, here’s what I want to know. Your favorite Shalvis book. Extra points if you tell me why. I’m going to draw names for a book from my backlist for the winners.

The Sweetest Thing. Tara and Ford are my favorite couple ever. Love when he stops taking pain meds so he can come see Tara.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:32 amkris says:
All of them?? Because they’re funny and sweet and sassy and there’s never a doubt reading a Jill Shalvis book will be time well spent. My favorite in recent history would be Animal Attraction. Before that, probably Head Over Heels. If we want to go farther back, probably Strong and Sexy or maybe Instant Attraction.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:35 amPeggy says:
I loved them all but my fav are the first 3.
Chloe & sawyer I just loved how much he took care of her. Paid attn to her needs with the asthma.
Tara and ford she couldn’t deny her attraction still. After all those years. I loved that ford stepped right into father role.
Jax and Maddie who doesn’t love a carpenter with a tool belt? Jax helped her out of abuse issue.
I think those three are my fav because of the sisters. I loved them all but the connection of those three was great.

Any or all of them ! But as much as I love all your books, I will have to go with the very first book of yours I read a looooong time ago, a duets book called Hug Me Holly / Kiss Me Katie. I read it every Christmas for years and still have it
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:01 amKathryn S. says:
Head Over Heels is my favorite right now because Sawyer took the time to find out more about Chloe’s asthma and how to deal with the problems that come with it. I also love your books for their just right combination of humor and sexiness! You just can’t go wrong when you pick up a Jill Shalvis book to read!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:50 amCris says:
Anything Lucky Harbour? No? I have to actually pick?? Okay then–
Simply Irresistible because Maddie is not the typical annoyingly perfect heroine and overcomes (and grows) so much, and Jax is such a sweetheart and perfect for Maggie. I want to marry both of them every time I read it.
At Last because underneath that kick-ass ”tude, Amy’s just a vulnerable girl like the rest of us who’s gone through some tough times. And Matt is… well, Ranger Hot Buns– that’s self-explanatory
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:04 amPatoct says:
How can I pick just one…but if I must…
Mia and Kevin are hot, hot, hot – Her Sexiest Mistake. Starting out in bed and hero on a motorcycle – how could you go wrong.
Okay, so I picked 3 – Slow Heat and Double Play – Love baseball themed books and the dialogues in your books are always so funny.
And you look lovely today, may I say!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:09 amLeanna h says:
This is so hard. I would probably say Forever and a Day. I love all the Lucky Harbor books! They are so funny!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:38 amGwen says:
Let’s see, Simply Irresistible is one of them because when Maddie meets Jax for the first time and doesn’t know she has potato chip crumbs on her chest. That was so funny! The other is Head Over Heels because Sawyer and Chloe together are funny and sexy and you can just picture how much she drives him crazy. I love all the Lucky Harbor books(well actually all of your books.).
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:44 amLaurie says:
Simply Irresistible. Because we mean the cast of characters for the first time. But, Jax in a tool box is hot and the girls spending time together is sweet.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:51 amDani says:
Animal Attraction. I just love the hero, the sexual tension between him and the heroine, and the animals, OMG the animals…<3
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:09 amSharon C says:
Simple Irresistible was the first book I read and I love it! Maddie the mouse looking to start over and than finding Jax who looking to protect her! I love the story of sisters.I am one of 4 sisters I love the sister in the story too! I don’t think it would ever work for my sisters and I to run a B&B but love to ready about family.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:12 amAmanda M says:
Wow. Thats a pretty tough question. I love so many of your books. It comes down between Jax and Maddie, Josh and Grace, or Matt and Amy. I’m going to have to say Josh and Amy with Forever and a Day, because I love both Josh and Amy, but who doesnt love a rambunctious pug and a barking little boy. But For the record I do love all the lucky harbor books.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:15 amMaryAnne says:
Love all your books, especially the Lucky Harbor Series. I love the the first one with Maddie and Jax. I loved how they met on the highway and later when she hired him but didn’t know who he was and she was in such bad shape because of her and her sisters’ druken night under the Christmas tree. Jax treated her tenderly at all times and loved every quirk she had. It’s so nice to have someone love you for who you really are without putting up any false facades.
Take me the way I am – warts and all.
P.S. My pants are tight too! I don’t understand. I behaved and stuck with the basic chocolate food group the entire day.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:15 amAmanda M says:
Oops Josh and Grace. Its way too early for me to be on the computer.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:16 amJen D. says:
Probably Head Over Heels. I really love the dynamic you built between Chloe and Sawyer, the complexity of their characters and how they deal with Chloe’s medical issues. It hit home for me.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:16 amLozza says:
I think Chloe/Sawyer are probably my favorite. I like the quiet/stoic-but-deep guys. Sawyer always came off as a little socially awkward to me- or maybe not awkward, but quiet and a little less comfortable with himself or other people than, say, Jax or Ford or Ranger Hot Buns, and I like the fact that you feel like he couldn’t have what he has with Chloe with anyone else, and like she gets to see parts of him that other people don’t.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:37 amRochelle L says:
I loved Trouble in Paradise. An island romance plus Dorie and Christian = magic!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:45 amRochelle L says:
okay I meant The Trouble with Paradise – still in a Christmas coma!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:48 amTammy C says:
I adore all your books, but truly love FOREVER AND A DAY! I love Dr Josh and his relationships with his sister and how sweet he is with his son Toby. Can’t forget the hot pool scene either and of course ya gotta love that deliquent puppy Tank! I just love the beach scene were Grace thinks she’s lost Tank in the ocean. Grace and Josh are just such a sweet and sexy couple!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:48 amJustine Sevret says:
I love all of your books. I have to say that Simply Irresistible is my favorite because it was the first one I ever read and the one that got me hooked!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:52 amTammy H says:
I love Head over Heals. Chloe and Sawyer overcome so much to find their way to each other. But Aftershock was also just as awesome. I love Dax and how much he felt and how he was not afraid to share it with Amber.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:53 amDawn says:
Animal Attraction — Jade and Dell crack me up!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:53 amSarah Handrich says:
Simply Irresistible! It was such a sweet and funny read. Everything I like to read about in a book!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:53 amConnie Carpenter says:
I loved The Sweetest Thing. The character of Tara really captivated me.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:53 amHellion says:
Simply Irresistible. Because it was the first Jill Shalvis book I read and I was like, “Where the f*** have I been?” and I started glomming your backlist. But this one remains my favorite…because you always remember your first.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:54 amMolly Marshall says:
Hands down, my favorite is Head Over Heels. I love Chloe and Sawyer. The Painting Scene….my favorite of all Lucky Harbor books. You have such a vivid way of writing, that the characters come to life in my head. I can see Sawyer’s jaw clenching everytime she needles him. Love how she pouts at the end cause he said “I Love You” first…LOL.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:54 amLindsay l says:
Lucky in love. Love the ending when Ty comes back for Mallory. Have re-read the last couple of chapters over and over again. Makes me smile every time
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:54 amSharon says:
Head over Heels!! I go back and read parts of this book weekly. I love how tough both of them are – I love how he researches her condition – I love how he punches the wall outside the hospital – I love seeing her become the responsible one at the mud springs – I love the quote “I’d be worth the inhaler”. I feel like I have asthma just reading about these 2!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:54 amCarrie Scaduto says:
To be honest, I just found out about you and haven’t had the chance to buy any yet, but would love to win and see… thanks for the opportunity
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:55 amSummer says:
I really love the Lucky Harbor series, and up until recently the story of Jax and Maddie. However the more I re-read your series (all your books if I must be honest) I really do love the story of Chloe and Sawyer. I love how they both fight it, give in to it, and grow as a result of letting themselves both find love and be loved. Good stuff!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:55 amJen C says:
I have to put “Lucky in Love” at the top. I love Chloe and the tension between her and Sawyer is phenomenal!
My next favorites are “Double Play” and “Slow Heat”.
I love your characters! Keep up the good work!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:55 amMandy says:
Simply irresistible Maddie and Jax story… I actually loved the entire series and can’t wait for more but the first book is my favorite. It was easy for me to believe the story line of these two… I also LOVED the fact that we could hear about them through out the rest of the books… What a great couple
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amJerriann Graff says:
It is so hard to choose just one. I guess it would have to be The Sweetest Thing.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amlori says:
I would pick Animal Attraction. I just love the hero, the heroine, and the animals.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amMary W says:
I would have to say Head Over Heels because I LOVE Sawyer! Also, I love the way he tries so hard to resist Chloe and he just can’t!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amLaura Hammersley says:
I loved the Lucky Harbor series. I think the first three are my favorite and what introduced me to your books. I love the connection of the three sisters that were distanced and reading about the connection they made while remodeling the Inn. I love family connections.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amTamara Hoffa says:
I have loved everything I’ve read by you so far, but the Animal Magnetism series is my favorite, especially Rescue My Heart, I loved grumpy old Adam and was so glad to see him finally get his happily ever after!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amLinda Scarchuk says:
Well at the moment I am reading Instant Attraction so that is it…at the moment. Why? I like the fact that Katie had no idea who he was, and that she has no idea how attractive she is. I am dying to find out how she makes her life more exciting, besides getting together with Cam…I always enjoy the lead up and foreplay…thanks for the chance at the giveaway…
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amKayla W. says:
Simply Irresistible…love Jax. And love how Maddie and Jax are together
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:56 amAmanda Bordner says:
Just finished Instant Temptation. LOVED it. Love allll of your books for that matter. The ones I have left to read are starting to twindle.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:57 amnaoma says:
Trouble in Paradise- It has hilarious on board antics with on shore romantic adventure.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:57 amBrittney Bohannon says:
One of my favorite books is Slow Heat. I love the dynamics between Sam and Wade. I like how the situations between Sam and her nephew evolve throughput the book.
I also love ALL the Lucky Harbor books so far and can’t wait for more! Really it’s just too hard to pick on of your books!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:57 amshawny jean says:
Instant attraction! And not just because it was the first one I read. I really loved the Wilder books, we were a very outdoorsy family growing up. Lots of skiing, kayaking, hiking, and rafting adventures. I miss the old covers though. Those Wilder men were a good looking bunch!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:57 amNicole says:
All of them!! Ok if I have to pick one I’d have to say Slow Heat. I fell in love with Wade and Sam in Double Play and I was sooo excited for their own book. I loved every minute of it. I loved how they loved each other from the start but couldn’t admit it to themselves
plus Tag was just so darn cute. 
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amCassie says:
Simply Irresistible was my first book of yours and I fell in love!
There’s just something about Maddie finally figuring out how to stand up for herself & Jax liking (& eventually, loving) her all the more for it that just gets to me!
Now that I’ve read all your books, however, I will need you to write faster. Much, much faster!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amJada says:
Simply Irresistible! I loved Jax and how patient he was with Maddie. Not to mention her character as peace maker with her sisters. I’ve read it numerous times and it is still my favorite.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amJulz says:
My absolute favorite is Naughty by Nice! It’s just such a great book! I read both Naughty but Nice and Naturally Naughty about once a year!
LOL Cassie & Tag have such an amazing story & I love Cassie’s reaction to being loved for HER not for her body. 
Happy New Year to you Jill!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amJackie Bentley says:
I want to read The Sweetest Thing! It seems to be one of the most popular! Who am I kidding! ALL OF THEM!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:58 amHilary W. says:
My Favorite was Instant Attraction…. because Katie and Cameron are both survivors from accidents. Katie is a fearless but vulnerable and Cameron sexy and brooding. It’s a fantastic love story while over coming life obstacles!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:00 amDeanna says:
I have read SO many but, hmmmm….I will say that I loved the story in The Heat is On. I just could NOT put that one down….great read!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:00 amMichele S. says:
Picking a favorite Shalvis book is like picking a favorite child—-I cannot do it! If forced to choose a favorite, which I should not be forced to do
, I’d have to say Rescue My Heart or At Last. Why? Three words: Adam and Matt =). Hope you had a great Christmas!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:00 amJudy says:
I recently discovered your books, so each and every one I have read so far I absolutely LOVE! So far, I think Simply Irresistible is tops on my list….the sisters are hilarious with each other and then Jax and Maddie together! I loved Jax and now I’m reading the Sweetest thing and am in love with Ford and Tara!!Don’t know how I didn’t know about your books, but so glad I found them!! I will be reading each one!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:01 amKelly says:
At Last – I loved Amy’s quest and I have a soft spot for forest rangers.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:02 amMelissa S says:
Hmmmmmmmmmmm tough call on the day after Christmas! I love LOVE LOVE all of your books because you can make me laugh, cry. empathize & fall in love all over again! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for sharing all your wonderful characters in your head! Happy New Year!
Melissa
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:02 amBirty Lightner says:
How can you not love a book with the title “At Last”? Anyone who has heard the Etta James song knows that we’re all looking for that special someone who will make our hearts complete. Amy and Matt find each other and that’s what makes this story so special.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:03 amjulie barrett says:
Time out with Rianey and Mark, love the sports books.
I’ve read all your latest ones, and need to catch up on all the anthologies from the past…
In Time Out I love how they get to date one another. The teen girls and their conversations with him are just priceless!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:03 amKate says:
Animal Magnetism. I love it because the animals–particularly Abigail the duck–add more humor to the story. I can also appreciate Lilah’s affinity for Snickers bars.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:04 amBecky/Quilting Bookladye says:
My favorite is simply Irresistable. It was the first one of your books that I read,but boy the last
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:05 amLindsy says:
It’s hard to pick just one book, all of your books are really good but I think my favorite would be the Animal Magnetism series because I love animals and Im glad Adam is finally getting his happy ending. I can’t wait to read Rescue My Heart!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:05 amLaura says:
Oldie but goodie, I love Flashpoint. Always a sucker for a hot firefighter!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:05 amJessica Miller says:
I loved Simply Irresistible…loved reading the story of Maddie and Jax and seeing Maddie grow during the course of the book. So far it’s the only one I’ve read – I’m reading The Sweetest Thing now. I’m hooked on the Lucky Harbor series and can’t wait to read them all!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:07 amSue Klepinger says:
It’s not easy to pick just one book as a favorite! I loved the Lucky Harbor series. Maddie & Jax; Tara & Ford; Chloe & Sawyer all great reads. Oh and Mia & Nick. I just got Animal Magnetism at the suggestion of a friend, but I haven’t read it yet.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:07 amStephanie says:
Hi Jill. I’m new to this site and am always looking for new reading material. I love books that make me feel like I’m part of the story when I read them or that I get so caught up In it I don’t put it down till I’m done. I was hoping that I could get some recommendations on where to start with your books. Any comments to help would be great. Thank you and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas:-).
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:07 amalyce says:
the entire lucky harbor series because i want to live there
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:07 amDawn Kirby says:
At Last. I feel like Amy is misunderstood woman. Everyone just sees her as a bada$$ when she is so much more. I see me in her. And Matt is just plain hotness!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:08 amRosemary Foley says:
Sure is hard to pick a favorite, all of your books are great, but Animal Magnetism ~ now that one caught my eye !!!!!!!!! yes, I like that and I need to read Rescue my Heart !!!!!!!!!!! another cover that got to me !! Animal Lover at Heart ~ that’s me.. thank you so much for the chance to win one of your books !!! OUTSTANDING !!!!
Rosemary Foley
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:08 amCathy says:
The first book I’ve read of yours is still my favorite, Simply Irresistible. I loved the relationship of Maddie, Tara, and Chloe they were witty, funny, and loving. And of course can’t forget Jax! He was just divine!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:08 amI have now read all the Lucky Habor books and now I’m ready the Wilder Series. I love your writing, after a long day at work it’s great to pick up a book and forget everything else.
Trista says:
Goodness, you want me to pick just one?!?! It can’t be done, Jill!!!
lol Okay, so I would have to say it’s a tie; Lucky in Love and Instant Attraction. Here’s why – for some reason I love a hero with a tragic past who wants to stay away from the girl, but just can’t help it. That’s pretty much Ty and Cam. Also, I really connected with Mallory and Katie; they were like me, only learning to be “a bad girl” and living “balls out,” something I really wish I could do in my life.
All in all, I know you said one, but I just couldn’t chose between the two of them. And choosing those two was hard enough!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:09 amConnie Klein says:
I can’t choose, I love them all! Still looking for many of your first books to enjoy!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:09 amMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! Stay warm with all that snow you are getting!
Dayna says:
I love them all, but I am going to go with Lucky in Love because it is the first one of your books I read.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:09 amChristina says:
Honestly, I love all of your books. I buy them, read them, and then I reread them.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:14 amMaryellen McGrew says:
Ok, so hard to pick just one favorite because I love all your books. BUT, if I have to choose, it probably would be Rescue My Heart. I love Adam and Holly’s characters, that even though he’d broken her heart years before, the attraction they had for each other was still there. I also loved your entire Animal Magnestism and Lucky Harbor series.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:16 amDenise says:
Gosh – so many to choose from! Probably Head Over Heels. It was the first time I read you and I loved it and had to get all the Lucky Harbor books.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:16 amSandi in OH says:
I love all your books but I have a particular fondness for the Wilder Brothers. There is just something special about them and their stories.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:16 amHarriet Mullins says:
I love your books! I fell in love with the Lucky Harbor Series. What a wonderful escape from real life. I felt like I knew all the characters personally.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:16 amNorma says:
While I agree with *everyone* that your Lucky Harbor books are to die for, The Trouble with Paradise is wonderful! I loved that book and have read it again and again. Why? I don’t know. I kind of identified with the heroine. Plus your humor shines through in it, even though it’s not always a funny book. Just great writing. Of course, I can’t forget those Wilder brothers though. Love those too.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:18 amJUHI says:
it was forever and a day!! simply loved josh and grace and the presence of a child in d book made it “the one” for me !! . . it just made d book more charming! and also there was tank! altough i like the 1st 3 books of the lucky harbor series even more dan dis one bt i cant simply choose one of them! :]
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:18 amand i hate the part that not even one of your books is available in india :/
Amy Newlon says:
Favorite is “Lucky in Love”. I love the opening scene with Mallory, Amy and Grace trapped in the diner eating chocolate cake.
Also I love how Mallory talks to Mrs. B throughout the book.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:19 amJessie L says:
Oh my gosh, Jill, how could you possibly ask this ? Of your readers? I cannot pick just one of the many books I have read of yours. I love them all because you fill the pages with great characters that we’d all like to get to know or have as friends; there’s steamy chemistry; funny conversations back & forth & lots of sweet romance! I’m always recommending your books to family & friends who haven’t read any yet.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:20 amMonica Sanchez says:
I loved all the Wilder stories. They were the first ones I ever got of your books. I think that I can not just pick one of them as my favorite though.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:21 amAly P says:
I love all your “Lucky Harbor” books! The way your characters interact, the humor, the emotion I feel when I read them make the series one of the best I’ve ever read!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:23 amLori Bahe says:
It is tough to pick one. Lucky in Love and Forever and a Day are strong contenders, but I would have to go with Head over Heels. Strong personalities, fun, laughter, passion, just plain caring & fighting for each other and great supporting characters make this one my favorite…to date
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:24 amronni jones says:
It’s a toss up for me. I relate a lot to Maddie in Simply Irresistible. I am a bit of a mouse trying to break out of it. I also like The Sweetest Thing.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:25 amShay Bresnan says:
My favorite is Instant Attraction as it is the only one I have read…so far.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:26 amSlick says:
Anyone who knows me,knows how I feel about the entire Lucky Harbor series. And truthfully it would be hard to pick a favorite from those, my favorite book of yours Jill is Flashpoint, why you might ask….because it was the first book of yours I read and it led me to you. So, it’s really quite simple, without that book I might never have discovered you. (I doubt it, but that’s my crazy way of thinking!)
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:27 ammichele galindez says:
Strong and Sexy because this is what started my love for you books. It was funny,sexy and I loved how Shayne went after Dani. Not your tipical heroine. She was super smart and clumpsy. I didn I say how SEXY Shayne was lol. Have a great day and dont worry you will fit in your yoga pans again.lolol
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:28 amDonna McAleer says:
I LOVE all your books and to be honest I can’t decide between Slow Heat and Double Play – I LOVED them both. I loved that Sam and Wade were so different but they worked and I loved Holly and Pace, the chemistry you wrote for them was amazing – those were great books alone and together! I also LOVED the Animal Magnetism series (can’t wait for the next book) this series is GREAT (OH Adam in Rescue my Heart is may favorite, strong and silent type, he can take me on a rescue mission any day of the week – LOVE IT) and then there is Lucky Harbor (sure would love to live in that city!!!) Can’t just give you one book, if you write it I will READ IT and enjoy it!!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:28 amJessica E says:
Double Play and Slow Heat are two of my favorites. I can read them over and over again. Write more baseball heroes please!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:29 amLily C says:
Just finished the Wilder Series this morning. Read all 3 in 2 days. My favorite was Instant Temptation. Crazy how Harley waited so long to tell TJ what had happened between them so long ago. Though The Lucky Harbor Series is definitely my favorite as a whole.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:31 amJamie says:
Animal Attraction is my absolute favorite because the chemistry between Dell and Jade is HOT.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:31 amLiz Powers says:
Small Town Christmas……First book I read of yours…really liked it and have been back tracking since. Still have not read the first book yet!!!! Getting there and having fun!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:32 amDonna A says:
Christmas in Lucky Harbor. It was the first book of yours I’d read. It sent me scurrying to buy what I could find of your back list and every Lucky Harbor book after.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:32 amKristi S says:
One is nearly impossible to pick…however, I think my all time favorite is At Last…with a close second is Head Over Heals. I absolutely love the humor and chemistry of both couples. I really haven’t found a Shalvis book yet that I didn’t like!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:32 amHappy New Year!! Can’t wait for more…

I have to be completely honest. I haven’t read any of your books YET. I stumbled upon your Facebook page and blog and enjoy them both. I will be reading your books as soon as humanly possible.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:34 amDo I get points for honesty?
Anne Hitchin says:
My all time favourite is the Lucky Harbor series, but I LOVED Animal Magnatism aswell. Brady & Lilah were so cute yet Hot and Abigail the Duck was Hilarious!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:35 amRabina B. says:
The sweetest thing has to be my favorite book of all time. I bought it after i had read some nice reviews about it but after I actually read it, it became MY FAVORITE BOOK. It has got everything , it’s funny, sweet, sexy, just everything.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:35 amMy bookshelf is now full of lucky harbor books
marie says:
Simply Irresistible..simply because it was the first book (of many) love pretty much all of them
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:38 amHillary R says:
I have to say I think “instant attraction” and “double-play” are my favorites. Double-play because it was my first book I read by you and Holly was just the best lead female character. I also say instant attraction because I just loved Katie and Cameron. I guess you could say that they were my “gateway books”, lol. I mean after those two there was Double Play, and after that the rest of the Wilders… You can see my slow spiral…..
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:43 amAngela says:
Time out is one of my favorites its one i go back to time and time again.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:44 amSamantha Alyssa van Petersom says:
I really love Head Over Heels form your Lucky Harbor series. why do I like this book so much is because i’t funn to read.. It’s funny, sweet and sexy.. I always laugh when I read your book and I read Head over heels from the libary 10 times I kept going back just to read it again.. I love Chloe, she is such a free spirited girl and so much funn.. I just like how she and the hot sexy sheriff Sawyer are and how they come togheter in the end !! So HOT

Wow- I really have to pick just one? I can’t get enough of the wilder series…..I really connected with Harley!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:46 amCarrie says:
Lucky in Love is my hands down favorite, though it has some stiff competition. I just love the dynamic of bad boy Ty and good girl Mallory.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:47 amSusan Simpson says:
ALL OF THEM!!! Heheheheheh Just finished Sweetest Thing and it was that for sure. Ford and Tara are the couple, opposited attract. Wish these hunky men really excited.
Thanks for writing such wonderful books and looking forward to reading me of them.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:47 amMelinda Dozier says:
I can’t pick just one, so I will just pick the last one I read…. Time Out. I love how Rainey tries to fight her attraction to Mark and he won’t let her fight. He is total Alpha and every page was steamy! Plus, I love a latino hero. Great job! Bravo!
I would love to read more Wilder brothers!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:50 amkyla whitley says:
First off, you look marvelous today, Jill. Second, I love all your books, so your asking a tough question. So, I’m going to say “Simply Irresistible,” because it was the very first book I read, that was written by you. After that, I was hooked, had to read all your Lucky Harbor books and your Animal Magnetism series. Go Jill!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:51 amLaura says:
It’s a tie between Head over Heels and Lucky in Love. I love Sawyer and Ty!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:52 amLisa says:
If I had to choose one it would be Simply Irresistible, only because it was the first book that I read of yours. Now I’m hooked!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:52 amTammy D says:
I have to choose just one?? That’s just mean!
I can see others are having the same problem. Well, I loved Lucky in Love because I really related to Mallory as a “good girl” and I loved Ty helping her bring out her wild side! I also loved Forever and a Day just because I thought Josh and Grace were so darn cute with their many “issues”, I loved how they worked it all out and they had such awesome chemistry. But really each of the Lucky Harbor books have been so fun and sweet and sexy – all I can say is, More Please!

At Last
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:53 amStarting at page one, it reeled me in and keep me on the edge of my seat. Love all your books, but this one just grabbed my heart.
Missy says:
Simply Irresistible…or any of your Lucky Harbor series. It is hard to pick just one! I really connected with Maddie the most, though.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:57 amJenna F says:
I love your Lucky harbor series! Head over heels has to be one of my faves! Sawyer and Chloe were great. Romantic yet funny
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:58 amAmy R says:
2012 was the year I heard about Jill Shalvis! I read all the Animal Magnetism books and Lucky Harbor books. My favorite I think was Head Over Heels. I just loved Chloe and Sawyer’s relationship. Great job with all your books! Next up on my list of TBR by you are the Wilder Adventures books! Happy New Year!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:58 amKelly B says:
Jill, I am just getting started with your books. Thanks to Facebook I have found your Lucky Harbor series. I started with Head over Heels and loved it! I finally found the first book and can’t wait to read the others. Animal Attraction will be next after them. Ahhhh, I love when I find new authors.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:58 amLorie says:
I love the Lucky Harbor series. I am on the 4th book. I really would love it if you made another book relating just to the sisters, their guys, and Mia. Love that bunch!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:59 amElizabeth Lopez says:
My favorite book of yours is The sweetest thing…..From the lucky harbor series. I fell in love with Tara and Ford.
Their characters were just awesome. This book felt so real. From the connection between the two of them …down to the background scenery. Tara and Ford captured my heart. Building the heat between them was ….crazy! 
The love they have for each other kept them together. I love that Tara had flaws and Ford loved everything about her! Ford did not care she was bossy! Tara saw she had flaws and was able to recognize them and grow as a person. This Book and the dialogue was VERY funny! I absolutely loved it! I can read it over again!! 
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:00 amColleen Hruska says:
My fave is the animal magnetism series. I love how you incorporate animals and the three brothers .
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:00 amKrista says:
I am a fairly new reader to you, and for that I am sad. I’m not sure why it took me so long to find you!! Anyways, my favorite book of yours so far is “Rescue My Heart” simply because we now own our own Yellow Lab because of this book. It was the little push into owning a pet again that our family needed. My children thank you!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:00 amLisa says:
Lucky in Love. Ty reminds me so much of my husband. I love reading that book because it hits so close to home. Its like reading about my Husband.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:04 amRebecca says:
I am a new reader to your books. I would love to win a book as I am always looking for new books and new authors to read.
I really enjoy reading.
Thank you for the chance to win your book.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:05 amBeki Ferrill says:
My favorite so far are Slow Heat and Double Play! I love sports romance. I am starting Trouble In Paradise, so ask me my favorite then! I hope at some point you will write more sports related romances!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:07 amAllison H says:
Lucky in Love is my favorite. Mallory and Ty trying to stay apart, but keep being drawn to each other…it doesn’t get much better than that.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:07 amDawn-Marie says:
Wow to pick only one…I’m not sure I can but I will try. I think it would have to be Maddie and Jax in Simply Irresistible. That was the very first book that I read of yours. My friend said you have to read this, it is so good. Well that hooked me. I’m finished with all the Lucky Harbor series, waiting for the next one to come out. I’ve read Instant Attraction and just bought the other ones to read. Thank you for being such a great writer. You capture me from the first paragraph, and I can’t stop until I’m done with the book. Keep up the great works!!! Fan for life.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:10 amLaurie Lenzini says:
I love everything of yours I read. If I have to pick a favorite right now I would have to say the Instant series because it was the first thing I read of yours. The humor in the situations made me giggle out loud and the interaction and dialogue between the brothers was so real. I felt like I knew the Wilder family personally. I love the Lucky Harbor series too. When Maddie met Jax on the side of the road on a motorcycle I was able to connect because my husband rides and the hotness factor rises. Thanks for being a writer Jill.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:10 amDenise says:
So hard to pick but if I had to I would say Forever and a Day…. Josh and Grace were just beautiful together. They seemed like real people and their energy together was wonderful!. But really all of your work is great.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:12 amKelly W. says:
All of your books are wonderful, but I like two just a little bit more than the rest. I absolutely love Head Over Heels and At Last. I believe the characters were just a little more tender, or sensitive, to others needs in those two.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:16 amKarry Davis says:
Simply Irresistible, It was my first book I read of yours and so I guess I’m just being nostalgic:) I love the drunk dialing in the book
and I just love Jax and Maddie together!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:16 amMaria says:
Animal attraction because I think it’s funny and sweet and sexy. I have read it a few times
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:16 amLSUReader says:
My favorite is Forever and a Day. I like all the characters, including cranky sister and cute kid. And the dog. How I love that dog!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:20 amMarea says:
All of them are, but my favorite book is honestly the last one out, so in this case it is Under the Mistletoe. This allowed some closure in a sense to a couple we had seen in several books to whether or not they were still together
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:21 amCarol Weatherington says:
If I have to pick one (because I absolutely love them all), It would be Simply Irresistible because It started it all In Lucky Harbor!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:22 amMichelle Harlan says:
Favorite? You do realize you’re not being nice, right? Making us pick just 1?! Ahhh…the pressure!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:25 amOk, fine. My favorite is The Sweetest Thing. I loved Tara’s sweet southern sarcasm. Ford…omg, someone who cooks & can hang out on a boat all day. Perfection! I love your Lucky Harbor series. Your humor comes across in every book & I love the “real” dialogue your characters have. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment spent reading your books!
Sandra Timmins says:
Animal Magnetism!!! The animals in that book stole the show! So funny
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:27 amJill Summers says:
I love all that I have read so far! I am only on “Under the Mistletoe”. They are very unique and my workouts while I read get very intense. I have to be careful of the amount of time and my heart rate. Don’t want to stop reading during many scenes. Thank you!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:28 amSteffi K says:
I fell in love with Small Town Christmas although its a novella still I love it that Logan gets his happy ending
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:29 amNanette Clevenger says:
Lucky in love. Love military men!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:31 amDiana says:
Lucky in L
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:31 amDenise says:
While I love, love, love the Lucky Harbor series, I’d have to say Double Play is my fav Shalvis book. I love a good sports hero, and Pace, nearing the end of his career, was especially vulnerable and appealing.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:32 amClaudia says:
Favorite? I have to pick just one???? Instant Attraction is probably my favorite of the bunch because I really enjoyed the interaction between Katie and Cameron. However, let me just note that I really do love all your books.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:33 amMrsD says:
All of them??? So far it’s Rescue My Heart…couldn’t put it down…and when I was done, so sad that it was over. Can’t wait for the next one!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:33 amDiana says:
Well. That posted right away. Anyway to delete that guffaw of a comment?
I was saying, Lucky In Love is my favorite. It’s because Ty is just my kind of man, a man of action, and he was so utterly perfect for Mallory, whose thoughts I found were sometimes so eerily the same as mine. Love them both, and love their story. 
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:34 amKaren says:
Lucky in Love is probably my favorite—-it has turned into my go-to comfort read—though Head Over Heels (omg Sawyer!!) is a close second.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:36 amRachel R says:
The Sweetest Thing. I’m a sucker for the unrequited love, long lost love angle. And not only is Ford sexy as hell, he’s got a sense of humor. Oh and the fact that he puts up with and kinda of adores Tara’s craziness is completely endearing. (Maybe because I’m just a teensy bit like her. Just a teensy bit).
Dell and Jade in Instant Attraction are a very close second. I really seem to like strong heros AND strong heroines.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:40 amRachel R says:
Uh, I meant ANIMAL Attraction. I’m a Shalvis Whore and I can’t even get the titles correct. I’m giving myself a time out.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:42 amVeronica Dickson says:
Animal Magnetism
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:42 amLilah’s devotion to rescuing animals just reminds me how angels can have human forms in this world.
Belinda says:
The Animal Magnatism Series is my favorite. There is nothing sexier than a strong man who is gentle. My biggest measure of a man is how he treats children and animals. Love all your books. Always excited for your next one to come out. Happy New Year!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:42 amCindy C. says:
Animal Magnetism.It made me laugh and I just loved the romance between Lilah and Brady. I love animals too, and Brady’s willingness to accept and help with them would be my undoing.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:43 amErin Funderburk says:
Trouble in paradise.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:43 amMichele says:
Simply Irresistible is my fav book. Partly because it was the first book of yours I read. Partly because of the story itself. This book has many long sighs, laugh out loud and profoundly sweet moments. But then, all of your books I’ve read so far do
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:44 amAnd whew…Jax!
I need to get busy reading more of the Lucky Harbor stories. I like to read stories in order, even if they don’t have to be.
I loved the Animal Magnetism series too.
Kerry says:
Simply Irresistable was my fav – I think its particularly touching because everything seems to be going wrong, when really – its pretty right. I love head over heels as well.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:44 amMichelle V. says:
That is so hard to answer, I love tham all!! Funny, sweet and sexy. If I had to pick it would be Simply Irresistable and Animal Magnatism. Love them both.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:44 amKeri says:
Chloe and Sawyer’s Head Over Heels is my favorite. I love the way he handles her. You’re one of my goto Authors. I belong to an online book-rental club and don’t buy many books anymore, but yours are on the must own list. Thank you for writing so many fantastic getaways for me.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:46 amMichelle says:
Oh, Geez… Just one???? Well the Lucky Harbor books are some of my all time favorite books, ever. I especially love the sisters Maddie, Tara and Chloe. Makes me wish I had a sister or two. I have to say I think my favorites though were Chloe & Sawyer in Head over Heels and Amy & Matt in At Last. I just loved the chemisty building up between Chloe and Sawyer in the first 2 books, you knew it was going to be great. And big tough guy, found a way around her asthma. And as for Amy & Matt, she was a tough cookie and Matt was man enough to take her on.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:46 amZulma says:
Instant Attraction is one of my favorites. Cam is incredibly sweet and has a great sense of humor. I laughed at his fear of needes and thought it poetic when he ends up with Katie the doctor. Ford comes a close second!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:46 amdanna rice says:
I can honestly say that there isn’t a bad book by Jill! My two favorites are Slow Heat and Double Play. I’ve got a box full of Jill’s books and I’ve read them all at least twice and some a lot more than that!!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:49 amJessie says:
Lucky in Love! The characters were so rich but like able and the whole town was so central to the story it made you want to move there. Yet it really was about the main characters- you really felt them fall in love!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:50 amLinda says:
Head Over Heels is my favorite. I just love Chloe and Sawyer.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:55 amGayle says:
Instant Attraction – I so loved how Cam and Katie first met, and it only got better and better from there.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:57 amKaren W says:
Sorry I can’t pick just one book from you Jill. I love them all. I just had hubby download me the Wilder series, which I am sure I will love as well. He knew which books had to be on my kindle Christmas morning if he knew what was good for him. lol
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:58 amStephanie says:
I agree that I love them all but I pick Get a Clue! I LOVE Cooper! Breanna was funny but I loved everything about Cooper! Followed by Forever and a day! Who doesn’t love Dr. Josh
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:58 amJeni Burkett says:
I don’t actually have a favorite Jill Shalvis book because I’ve never read one. Either they aren’t available when I have money to spend, or I don’t have the money to spend when they ARE available. ._.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:00 amNay says:
i just love the harbo series & the whole sayings the girls & their crazy mom had about putting them in a lil “recipe card” looking box..i think my favorite saying was from when maddie pulled a card out & read “bad decisions make good stories” lol..& thats was from my fave story of/from “simply irresistble”
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:01 amShannon says:
The Sweetest Thing because I like the interaction between the sisters.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:02 amKaren says:
If I have to choose one I will choose Head Over Heels cuz Sawyer is sooo inhaler worthy!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:04 amTina Harmon says:
Lucky in Love so far. First one of your books I read and didn’t put it down once I started reading it. Been reading your others too but it was my first.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:05 amDawn Bell says:
Hi Jill,
As a new reader to you blog (1 week) I haven’t read any of your books YET! Looks like I can get quite a few recommendations from your fans here. I would love to know which is your favorite. Thanks for the chance to wni, they all sound like wonderful adventures.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:15 amCourtney says:
Favorite book is Rescue Me.. I’ve waited so long for Adam and he did not disappoint. Combining cute dogs with a strong woman and a hot man is always a winner for me. Plus it helped that you posted pictures of Adam before the book came out. I really enjoy all your series but since you asked for a favorite book it is Rescue Me. Sawyer is a very close second!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:16 amThanks Jill!
Catherine says:
I love the Lucky Harbor series. The whole feel and setting of the series is familiar and heartwarming. My favorite may be Lucky in Love. Mallory, the good girl, coming into her own, falling for the bad boy. A great story.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:16 amSharon Avinger says:
Head Over Heels because Sawyer was so sweet in his care and concern for Chloe. BUT I am just finishing up the last book of the Wilder series and I love those guys. The stories are all so good and the romance terrific. Also love the mountain setting. Sigh. Just love your books so much.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:17 amBee says:
I love Head over Heels best because of a very small and simple thing: the magic eight ball app. It made Chloe’s character all the more fun to me, and made me want one too : )
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:17 amJana Zigounakis says:
Wow!!! You have given us a very difficult task, choosing from just 1 of your books! That is a hard decision to make! I have to admit, I have just in the last 6 months started reading your books. I friended (actual word?!?!) on facebook and that is how I started reading your books. I really love your Lucky Harbor series. I LOVE the men! They are so masculine and macho, but soft when it comes to their women! When reading these, I feel like I am there with them. You paint such a vividly picture of Lucky Harbor and the surrounding area that I can see exactly where they are! Thank you for keeping me entertained for several hours!!! Looking forward to reading all of your books!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:20 amNancy says:
Lucky in Love. I loved Mallory wanting to be a bad girl. Her and Ty hooking up in the attic while the Benefit was going on was awesome. I really liked Ty and how he was always there for her- going along with her at the benefit, when her car broke down and standing up for her at the town meeting. Who wouldn’t want a Ty in their lives????
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:22 amEvy Suarez says:
The Sweetest Thing.. I loved the entire love story of Tara and Ford.. Meeting their daughter for thr first time. The Facebook polls.. Its was funny and sweet.. They had chemistry.. Ford was just HOT!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:23 amStacy H says:
Choose just one?! I love the whole Lucky Harbor series, but if I can only have one it would be Head Over Heels. I love Sawyer and Chloe, he was so good to her and understanding.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:24 amJessica Brookes says:
I loved loved loved the last book in the Animal Magnetism series,Rescue My Heart. Adam was the perfect wounded alpha hero and Holly was the perfect one to rescue him. I loved reading about their story and fell in love with them. You did such a fantastic job with describing their feelings and their surroundings. It was a very sexy book but it also pulled at my heart strings. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and to rereading this book as well.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:31 amJudith says:
If I had to choose (so mean to make me)
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:38 ammy favorite would be Simply Irresistible with Maddie and Jax.
I love all the heroes in Jill’s books but Jax just makes my heart beat a little bit faster than all the rest.
Debra says:
–I really enjoy Head Over Heels! Chloe and Sawyer were a wonderful couple! Also really enjoyed Shayne and Dani’s book–Strong and Sexy.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:38 amAnita L says:
All the Lucky Harbor books. Because I can picture living there and having so much fun. Your characters come alive! Love them!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:38 amSharlene Wegner says:
Animal Attraction. There is chemistry the moment Lila & Brady meet. I love that she kisses him when he drops her off. And there are many humorous moments, sexy scenes & gut wrenching scenes, with a very satisfying ending. I have to say, though, I really love all of your books!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:42 amGwen D. says:
Rescue My Heart cuz it’s the last one I read. I really like them all tho. 
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:48 amMarcybk says:
I’m reading my first Jill Shalvis book, Simply Irristable, and I’m loving it! So its my favourite
Keep’em comin’!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:51 amHeather says:
Instant Temptation. I love camping in the Sierras, and the scenes where TJ and Harley are out in the back country are both realistic and HOT!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:52 amEileen A-W says:
I love all of them!! But if it says a Lucky Harbor book I know I will love it. The Animal Magnetism series, the Gratification series, even the older ones. I guess maybe the latest one I’m reading is my favorite. Can’t wait for the next one.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:53 amMoran says:
It’s hard picking just one book but if I have to I’ll say Head Over Heels.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:56 amI just LOVE Sawyer and Chloe!
Vickie P says:
Probably Animal Magnetism…Lilah was a hoot with her animals and Brody was so hooked but didn’t want to admit it!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:08 amTracy says:
Simply Irresistible! I can relate with Maddie trying to regain control of her life after an abusive relationship.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:09 amflchen1 says:
Double Play and Slow Heat–love sports romances, and Jill, you do them beautifully. Great characters, hot chemistry, excellent plots… MORE, please!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:13 amGina S. says:
It has to be Simply Irresistible. It got me hooked enough to read the rest of the series. I loved the humor of it and how the dialogue was relatable. Jax was adorable and my favorite of all the Lucky Harbor men.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:16 amNicki B says:
Mine is Trouble with Paradise. I love that regular girl Dorie gets to choose between two sexy men, even though we all know which one she should choose. Also, I haven’t read a book of yours that I don’t like yet so technically they’re all my favorites!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:17 amcatslady says:
I have to say Get A Clue because it was my first Shalvis read and firsts are always nice
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:27 amSusan says:
Although I really like all your books, I’m going to say Animal Attraction. Every time I hear the song Perfect by Pink I still picture Jade dancing around and getting caught. Memorable lines: Dell: “Do you think she was signing to you or me?” Adam: “Me. You’re nowhere close to *** perfect”. LOVE IT!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:34 amJustin says:
Instant Attraction. Every book of yours I’ve read so far I’ve loved, but Instant Attraction was my first, which got me hooked on the series, so I’d say that’s why it’s my favorite. The beginning of greatness!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:36 amRosanna says:
I love “Instant Attraction” (well, actually I have never met a book of yours I didn’t love, but that is my fav) – I love the interaction and love between the Wilder brothers & their Aunt, but I really love the way that Cam & Katie 1st met, and how they helped heal each other.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:36 amArelys says:
Loved the Lucky Harbor series but Simply Irresistible was the first of your books I had read and it holds a special place.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:41 amlaura dianis says:
My favorite has to be Blue Flame. I just recently read it and I loved it. I love Callie and Jake as a couple. I love how in the story Jake accepts the changes in his career and how he grows as a man. Can’t wait to read White Heat next!

I would say rescue my heart, simply because it is the last one I read. I liked that even though he was having his own issues he helped her find her dad

Simply Irresistible, because it is the first book I read of yours… Loved everything about it. Had me hooked immediately!

I love all the Lucky Harbor series! My favorite is The Sweetest Thing. I love that it’s not completely predictable like most of the books out. I couldn’t wait for the others to come out. Have read them all and can’t wait for more books. Jill is an awesome author!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:52 amAlina D says:
Hi Jill! My favorite book by you would have to be Shadow Hawk because it was the very first book of yours I read. I was just the begining of a wonderful journey. Yeah Im corny but its true. I love all your books and am so happy that you write them.
Have a wonderful day!!!

Head Over Heels. I just adore Sawyer and Chloe.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:57 amKendra says:
Not an easy ask, but I’ll go with an oldie but a goodie (I’ve got it in its original cover) – Instant Attraction. I like how broken he is and I like that she’s more so. On the outside they’re such an unlikely couple, and yet so perfect for each other. And Cameron Wilder on a cold night…(yes please, oh, yes, yes please).
Other faves: The Sweetest Thing, Friendly Fire, Animal Attraction, At Last.

Absolutely Love the Lucky Harbor series! All of them! I love that when I am reading your books I can picture myself right there with them! Winning today would be the greatest birthday present!

I have AMINAL MAGNETISM in my TBR pile and ANIMAL ATTRACTION on my wish list. The covers first pulled my attention, but the blurbs sealed it. All of your books sound wonderful and I really need to get to more of them. The reviews I have read have been most complimentary and the story lines are the type I enjoy. Hopefully this coming year I will have time to read more than just category romances.
Love the meltdown picture. It is so true with my family (brothers and sisters) and sometimes with MY family. This year all our children and their families were here and things went smoothly. If we had been snowed in, I don’t know how that would have lasted. I will have to admit, I miss those big snow storms and getting snowed in.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a great 2013.

This is hard! I adore all your books but I have to say that I love Simple Irresistible. Maddie and Jax are my favorite characters. And the quotes by Phoebe my mom and I send each other randomly.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:06 pmLisa Hutson says:
Head over Heels, It is my favorite because the first time I heard of it, was on facebook and you had posted a picture that I could not take my eyes off of. HOH had not even been released yet. So I went ahead and started the series while waiting….I still see the picture in my head…….regularly…..LOL
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:09 pmHope your power is up and stays up……;-)

Lucky In Love and Double Play- because of Ty and Pace
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:19 pmThe Bachelor’s Bed – because it was so heart-smothering
Carol Trueman says:
Rescue My Heart is both a frustrating and joyful read because you know that somehow Jill will get Holly and Adam totally together (where they need to be
. Getting there was the fun part. I loved the scene where Holly storms in with her cocktail dress, mud boots, Jack Daniels, and white cotten underwear! That was rip-roaring fun! You have such a sparkle to your characters, Jill. Pure honey and spice!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:21 pmKimberly K says:
My favorite? Roughing it With Ryan. Simple choice because it was my first book by you. You never forget the gateway book!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:24 pmI hope you are surviving all of the holiday meltdowns- my family has already had a few so we must be having a successful holiday lol
Lisa B says:
Rescue you my heart if i have to pick. I liked Adam through the other books but wow i didn’t expect him to be as wounded as he was. Loved Holly too even though she doesn’t give the best impression in the book before. Way to keep me guessing. I was rooting for this couple right from the beginning and just loved them both so much by the end.

Karla says:
I would be hard pressed to name just ONE book of yours that is my favorite. So far I’ve loved ‘em all. The thing is that you have a fantastic sense of humor and most of what you write is “realistic” …. in other words, you feel like it could REALLY happen. Some writers write things that you KNOW aren’t even possible, but that’s not your style. But I would say your sense of humor is probably the best part of your books.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:32 pmAlison says:
I’m predicting that Kate and Griffin’s story will be my favorite. I’m a first grade teacher and can relate to Kate. Thank you for creating a character who is in my profession. I so enjoy all your books and thank you again for your creativity and hard work.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:41 pmDonna M says:
My favorite Jill Shalvis book is probably the most recent one I read!! It is impossible to choose just one as each is a book that is hard to put down while I am reading it. One of my favorites is from a few years back Out of this World. I remember laughing a lot while reading it. Your books are always entertaining, always make me anticipate the next one. Since I am one of those people that like series or connected books I’ve enjoyed each of the Lucky Harbor series & also the books & animals in Sunshine, Idaho. Oh yea, the men & women also!!
Thanks Jill for being such an awesome, creative author. You would not believe how many cookies I ate yesterday!!! It was a fun day with family despite being very wet!
Love the picture today!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:42 pmDanee H says:
I think Simply Irresistible might be my favorite. It is actually quite cruel to make me decide. It’s like choosing a favorite child! ha ha!
I liked the the bringing together of sisters that were really quite different. I think I liked the washing machine scene the best though!
Thanks!

Valerie P. says:
Although I like all of your books, my favorite is Animal Magnetism. I love Lilah, and her love of animals and Snickers. I love Brady and his Dr. Death reputation. That made me laugh! And the steamy, romantic scenes between them, such as their night by the lake and then their walk through the woods back to Lilah’s house…in the buff! Thanks for such a sexy, fun, and entertaining book!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:49 pmKaren says:
Animal Attraction is my favorite. I love Dell and Jade. Super sexy that he is a vet and he teaches her to defend herself. I love bad ass girls (like Jade and Amy from Lucky Harbor).
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:56 pmKris A says:
Slow Heat. It was the first of your books that I picked up and it combines two of my favorite things. Baseball and a sexy guy
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 12:58 pmMichelle B. says:
Head Over Heels, if I had to pick just one!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:17 pmChloe was just enough of a smartass, and there was no hope of her resisting either her sisters or Sawyer. And Sawyer. Oh man, was he IT. Definitely my favorite type of hero.
Jane says:
My favorite is “Shadow Hawk.” It was the first book I read from you and made me a fan.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:28 pmTexas Book Lover says:
Head of Heals is my favorite. There was something extra special about Chloe and Sawyer that grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. It is one of those books I can read multiple times and it still feels like the first time!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:28 pmWendy says:
I love all of your books but my favorite is Animal Magnetism. Brady, Lilah and all of the animals. Sweet and funny.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:33 pmPatty Ewing says:
There are so many, but probably my favorite is Lucky in Love — I loved Ty and Mallory together and I loved seeing how he constantly took care of her, while she was taking care of him. It was great!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:37 pmiannelly jasso says:
my favorite have been Forever & a day witch was the first book i read from jil shalvis, At last, Instasnt Teptation & Under the Mistletoe. I enjoyed the books and hope to read more of them.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:43 pmDana says:
At Last because, one word…Matt.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 1:59 pmMarcy says:
It’s a tie between ROOM SERVICE and FOREVER AND A DAY!
I just love Jacob Hill in ROOM SERVICE and how he appears so tough, but is really just a bunch of sweet chocolate goo covered in a hard candy shell. Yummy!
I also loved Josh and how he tried to take care of everyone but himself. Thank goodness he had Grace.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:01 pmSue G. says:
I loved Simply Irresistible! I love that scene when Maddie first met Jax on the street where she ran him off the road when he was on his motorcycle.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:05 pmMaribeth Curry says:
Hi Jill
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:11 pmMy favourite book of yours (I think) is The Sweetest Thing… it gives hope that even the most awful screw-ups can come around and turn out happily.
Michelle Ratledge says:
This is a tough one, but I may have to go with Animal Attraction, because I love the beginning where Dell is trying to sweet talk the cat. Merry Christmas!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:25 pmMw says:
My favorite book is the baseball series of books. I loved them, you should write more of those, only with football players, etc. I really liked them. slow heat and double play was aweseome.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:28 pmQuilt Lady says:
I love The Lucky Harbor series. I think Forever and a Day was my favorite but it was the last one I read and I have got to read At Last yet. They were all really good so its hard to choose.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:51 pmShirley says:
I love all of them, but “Forever And A Day” stands out. I love the kids and the dog. I really identified with Grace. This book was very sweet and funny.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:53 pmMia Berg says:
My favorite book is The sweetest thing. Tara and Ford are too cute for words! But the last three lines in chapter 7 took my breath away.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:55 pmKari McLoughlin says:
I think it’s a toss up between Aussie Rules and Natural Blond Instincts…
With NBI… I like that you can’t judge a book by is cover and she is good at math….which I love!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 2:55 pmAR…. Hot pilots – enough said lol!!!
Glittergirl says:
This is so hard…I’ve only read Lucky Harbor sooooo
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:04 pmLucky Harbor just got better and better. It’s hard to pick just one but if I HAVE TO it would by FOREVER AND A DAY because Grace put poor Dr Josh’s life back together kinda like Humpty Dumpty and I just loved that. They rescued each other, sigh.
Suzanne Tippin says:
I do not have a favorite yet as I have not had the pleasure of reading one of your books. Hoping to win one so I can test the waters of your mind.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:32 pmAlexandra J Andrews says:
Ok, now that’s hard to just pick one of your books.
I love all the Lucky Harbor novels but I guess I’ll go with Animal Attraction with Jade and Dell. I love Jade and how Dell helps her. They are a great couple and were fun to read. Also, there are animals!! Love that parrot that says the wrong things at the wrong times, haha.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:38 pmcheryl c. says:
I have to say the first 3 Lucky Harbor books cuz I can’t pick just one!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:44 pmJackie Tessnair says:
Small town Christmas…I love all your books.But I especially love Christmas books,and you write them so well.Thanks
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:49 pmKelly S says:
Animal Magnetism was my first and therefore my favorite but Head Over Heels is a very close second because of Sawyer.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 3:55 pmBelinda Mansfield says:
Tough one but I would have to say my all time favorite is my first. Simply Irresistible the book that hooked me on Jill’s books. I can’t remember if it was a special on Kindle books…but once I read this first one…I feel in love with Maddie, her sisters, the guys and Lucky Harbor. They are ALL my favorites. It is the BEST series.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:10 pmJan Cook says:
I haven’t actually read any of your books yet! I got hooked on the personality that would set up a “man fight” with another author. So much fun to follow. Not a real romance fan, so I’d like you to tell me which book to start with. I know I’ll love them if they’re anything like your blog.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:21 pmRo Abreu says:
Simply Irresistible… the Lucky Harbor books are all great, but there’s something particularly endearing about that couple. Maybe it’s the potato chip crumbs, I tend to leave leftovers on the shelf too
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:23 pmMarian says:
Forever and a Day! Some of the conversations between Grace and Anna were just too funny!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:31 pmTaylor Bellitto says:
Animal Attraction is probably my favorite Jill Shalvis book. I love that Dell never gives up on Jade. She’s trying to be strong and independent and deal with what happened to her, which leaves her closed off from people, but Dell breaks through her walls and SIGHHH! It’s beautiful. I think every woman or every person in general wants someone who won’t give up on them no matter what shit you throw at them.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:37 pmKristi Hayes says:
Simply Irrisistable is my favorite because it is the first one of your books I read and I loved it. This book is how I discovered you as an author.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:51 pmAmber says:
Instant Attraction is still my favorite. 1) Because it’s the very first book by you that I read and 2) because I live in the Sierras, too, and you nailed the Tahoe area small town perfectly.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 4:55 pmBrianne Kimball says:
Head Over Heels – I’ve gone back and re-read this one. There is just something about Chloe and Sawyer that makes you fall in love with them! He’s quiet and reserved and she’s a wild child…opposites attract!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:15 pmJoyce M. says:
My favorites are:Flashpoint and Flashback, also White Heat, Blue Flame and Seeing Red. Do you see a theme here?
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:16 pmAmy S. says:
The Sweetest Thing. I love Ford and Tara and I don’t have a lot to choose from because I only started reading your books this year, but I read 5 and I intend to read the rest!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:30 pmLinda Kish says:
Simply Irresistible
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:40 pmDoreen G. says:
Head over Heels….Love the interaction between chloe and Sawyer. The relationship chloe had with Lance and the relationship with Sawyer and his dad. Both were so moving. I wanted to cry just thinking about Lance dying…and when Sawyer’s dad called him on the phone…
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 5:56 pmiheartbigbooks says:
I absolutely love The Sweetest Thing. Tara and Ford’s struggles to overcome their shared pasts is truly heartwarming and make the outcome all the better for how hard earned it is.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:03 pmDee says:
I like all of your books I really the “Instant” series but the book i seem to really like the most is “The House where She Lives”. I am not really sure why but i like a good “second chance” book and this one was a good one.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:32 pmBrenda says:
I absolutely love Room Service. I love how Em and Jacob get together. I also enjoy the antics of Liza and Eric.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:32 pmSherry says:
Simply Irresistible. Maddie seems so lost at first, but comes out just dandy.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 6:52 pmKai W. says:
It’s Animal Attraction. I love the chemistry between the two main characters and of course, the animals in the story. The puppy on the book cover was what made me buy the book in the first place. The story didn’t disappointed me either.
Thanks and Have a Happy New Year.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:09 pmVandy says:
Instant Gratification is my fave book. I love Stone. I have a thing for guys that are more than what they seem on the surface and hot guy’s guys that are into extreme adventure. I also love that Emma figures out that what you think you want and what truly makes you happy can be two very different things. And I love Stone’s response to needles-very similar to my own but I can laugh at how he reacts.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:23 pmNicole SG says:
Seeing Red – I love that they were childhood friends & his struggle to stay in shape & his weaknesses for his favorite foods. Realistic because not everyone is just graced with perfect metabolism.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:31 pmCharlene says:
Instant Attraction. I love the Wilder series!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 7:55 pmLinda Henderson says:
Head Over Heels, because seeing Chloe and Sawyer get together was very heartwarming. Although I do love all your books.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:01 pmJenn Smith says:
I love all your books so its really hard to pick just one. There is something about each book that I just love. But if I had to pick just one it would have to be Head Over Heels.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:02 pmHeather says:
uhm how can I be forced to pick just one?? I own them all on my kindle and if I’m forced to choose I will say my favs are the sets. I like when you get involved with a character and they show up in more than one book. I love the Wilder boys and the Lucky Harbor books the best I guess. Keep them coming!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:02 pmKim says:
Hey Jill!
Love Tara and Ford’s story, just because of the way they picked up right where they were and how everything worked out with their daughter. I also just read the Wilder Brothers books and can we say STEAMY & HOT! Whoa Mama! Cameron & Katie’s story is my favorite, I guess I just related to that story more and loved those two characters. Thanks for the great books Jill! Keep em’ coming!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:10 pmIngram M says:
Ford and Tara in The Sweetest Thing! You made me laugh at the witty banter. You made me want a sister like Tara to take care of me. You made me fall in love with Ford. Ahhhh a man who knows his way around a kitchen. But most of all, Jill, you made me happy as I read this book and I didn’t want it to end.
Thank you!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 8:47 pmKim says:
My favorite book by you is Simply Irresistible. Why? First, because it was the first book I read by you. Secondly, I just love Maddie and Jax. I love the way they are together. I loved her drunk calling him. I loved the laundry room incident. I’m sure I could go on….
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:02 pmLyndsie says:
Supberb and Sexy is one of my all time favorites. Brody and Maddie’s ending is one of the best! I love Brody and I feel in love with there story in Strong and Sexy when she kissed him. Loved it!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:06 pmStacy C says:
My fav is simply irresistible. I love Jax! enough said but also maddie makes me smile because she is so me
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:20 pmKrysta M. says:
I love Animal Magnetism. It has such a fresh and loving feel and the romance between characters feels genuine. Its definitely my favorite but of course I adore all your books
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:24 pmKrista J says:
I love animal magnetism
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:26 pmJenM says:
Simply Irresistible is my favorite, mainly because of Maddie. She’s trying so hard to create a real family with her sisters, and I guess that just struck a chord with me.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 9:53 pmKimberly says:
Well I have just started reading the Lucky Harbor series, and I am loving them all. I am in the middle of book 4 “Lucky in Love,” which is awesome! I can totally relate to Mallory, and maybe I need to be looking for Mr Wrong! I had read one of your novellas that was in a collection with HelenKay Dimon(I took a writing class with her, so I bought that book to check out her writing sytle,) and then got hooked on your facebook posts! But it wasn’t until I felt sorry for you and pre-ordered “Under the Mistletoe,”( you know when your stupid neighbor wrecked your car)
that I discovered your wonderful Lucky Harbor series, and asking myself, what took you so long…. If I can have a second favorite it has to be “Simply Irrestible.” Because like Maddie, I am always trying to keep the peace. Thanks for writing amazing books, I can’t wait to read them all.
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:24 pmSue Peace says:
I love them all so much!!! Really enjoyed Instant Attraction and how Katie really made me laugh at times!!!
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 10:27 pmKimh says:
So many get a clue so funny sexy read all oh Jill books
Posted on December 26th, 2012 at 11:41 pmIris says:
Ok – first thought is Maddie & Jax, cos it was the first of your books I had ever read …. AND got addicted. Second thought was Mallory & Ty cos I just loved their story and the way they found to each other, but last thought is Adam & Hollie, cos I just finished reading it
…. Ask me in two days, it’ll probably be Forever and a day because that’s what I’m currently reading.

funny how when you say you’d draw names to win books, comments go over 100.
anyway, i love the wilder adventures. and true to its series title, it’s an adventure alright. it’s something i would want to happen for my life, a big, no-holds-barred adventure. redbull-ish extreme-no fear type of thing that you would actually question what you do every day.
Posted on December 27th, 2012 at 9:53 amLaurel Skoog says:
Ok so I haven’tread as amny if your books as I’d like (so many books so little time with a toddler and a prescooler runnng around) but my favorite at the moment is Instant Attraction (that could be since that was the last one I read) I loved that Katie decided to go out and LIVE, not to let being scared rule her life (and besides Cam was HOT).
Posted on December 27th, 2012 at 12:25 pmMichelle P. says:
I can’t button my pants either so I’m in comfy pants too! It is so hard to pick my favorite book of yours. Really, I’ve liked all of them. If I had to pick one, I guess I’d go with Instant Attraction. I loved the Wilder brothers series. Having went to camp up in the Tahoe area, I could really picture the setting. No camp I ever went to up there had guys as hot as those three brothers though!

I know you already chose winners, but can I answer anyway? My absolute favorite Jill Shalvis book is “The Sweetest Thing,” because I love the relationship between Tara and Ford – tender, contentious, funny, SEXY! Ford understand Tara so well. My favorite line: “Give me the control. I’ll get you where you want to go, I promise.” (p. 299 on my Kindle) OHMY…..
