Hi there! Long time no see, which is entirely my fault, as I’ve actually FORGOTTEN to blog on my assigned day two times in a row. Which tells you how full my brain is. Call it deadline dementia. I know I’d feel a whole lot more relaxed if my Girl Scout cookies had come in, but no. I have to live in Siberia where everything takes forever to get delivered . . . okay, I don’t really live in Siberia. If you read my daily blog, you know I live in the wild Sierras, near Lake Tahoe, where I have all sorts of I-Love-Lucy like adventures, especially with the epic winter we’ve been having.
What was I saying?
Oh, yes, that I’m SCATTERED. And hungry. But I digress. I’m here to talk about my Bravas. Some of you might have read:
Or maybe the sequel:
In any case, the third in the series, SUPERB AND SEXY, is coming out at the end of May.
And I just got a few ARCS (Advanced Reading Copies)! They don’t have the pretty cover on them, they’re basically just bound manuscripts but I figure there’s a few of you out there who would enjoy a copy. So read the excerpt below, and if it sounds like something that would float your boat, leave me a comment here and I’ll draw a few names.
Other than that, I would LOVE to know what you’re reading! Me first, I’m reading Strangers In Death. LOVE J.D. Robb. Now you.
Oh and before I leave, here’s the promised excerpt of SUPERB AND SEXY:
Maddie’s chest felt too tight. Damn it. She let out a long, calming breath, which of course didn’t work. It never worked. Neither did just sitting at the window staring down at Brody, but God, she was tired, and still recovering. Yeah, that’s what this asinine weakness in her knees was — recovery. Because it sure as hell wasn’t for him.
No way.
They didn’t even like each other . . .
And yet she leaned over so she could see out the window again, past the twin tall pines trying to claim her view, at the nearly six feet four inches of rough and tumble, sexy-as-hell male as he unfolded his long legs from the muscle car.
Her pulse took another unfortunate leap. The last time she’d seen him he’d been in his pilot’s uniform, and even though it was ridiculous and juvenile and wrong, it had turned her on. The thought of seeing him out of it? Even more so.
UPDATE:
Limecello, Sonya, and Jen! Your names were picked randomly by my Youngest, so that means you win. Email me with SUPERB AND SEXY in the subject line, and don’t forget to give me your snail mail addy!

Hi, Jill.
Would I love this arc, what do you think? How is your trek with the girls going? I read the first one, loved it and have the 2nd in my tbr.
Duh, hi again. You asked what I was reading - Sherryl Woods - Seaview Inn.
Hi Jill,
I love the covers on these books. I’ve read the first, the second is in my TBR, and I have been *waiting* for superb & sexy. In fact, it’s in my google calendar with weekly reminders starting one month before the release date
I’m reading a bunch of books right now, but the ones I’m actively focused on are Hard to Handle by Lora Leigh, and the Reilly trilogy by Maureen Child. I just finished the anthology “Hot Spell” today.
I love the first book and plan to read the second soon! It is staring at me from my TBR pile. So, an ARC would make me ecstatic. I am between books. I just finished Coming Soon by Jo Leigh.
Hi, I just discovered your website from a link in another blog. I am anxious to read your books. I would love to have a copy of Superb and Sexy and I’ll be checking out the first two in the bookstore this weekend.
I have just finished Always and Forever by Cathy Kelly. I haven’t picked the next read out of my TBR pile yet.
Wow! That small snippet has left me wanting more…I wanna find out what he looks like out of his pilot’s uniform!
I just finished reading Cecelia Ahern’s ‘A Place called Here’ which had me pondering…it’s about a place where all the lost things go and I lose quite a lot of stuff
And now, I have the momentous task of choosing which book next!
Oooh! One of my most anticipated books of 2008. I am so ready for Maddie’s and Brody’s story. Beyond ready. Completely and totally wanting this book with every fiber of my being.
I’m just starting Dianne Castell’s “Hot & Bothered”.
I followed you over from your blog today.
Great excerpt!
I’d loved to be entered to win an ARC.
I’m reading Christine Feehan’s Safe Harbor.
Loved the excerpt and really looking forward to reading the book. Please put me in at a chance in the draw.
Can’t really tell you what I’m reading because it’s for a reader-judged contest. I can tell you it’s good though. How’s that for a tease?
I would love to have an ARC .
I am reading Silver Angel by Johanna Lindsay.
Hi Jill,
I’d love to read the arc. The first two “Sexy” books were fantastic!
The latest book I’m reading is “Naughty Neighbor” by Janet Evanovich. Just bought it last night, to start reading today.
I’d love to win an ARC. I’ve been looking forward to Maddie & Brody’s story. I just finished How To Propose To A Prince by Kathryn Caskie.
I would love an arc. Great excerpt. I am reading Bride of Shadow Canyon by Stacey Kayne.
I have read the two previous books in this series and have fallen in love with your pilots! I have pre-ordered, Supurb and Sexy from Amazon and check back frequently to see if the release date has been moved up. No such luck! But if I were to win an ARC…..
I just finished reading, Long Hard Ride by Loreleigh James and now am in the middle of See No Evil by Allison Brennan.
I love the excerpt and I’m looking forward to reading more of Maddie and Brody’s story.
I loved Stranger in Death and right now I’m reading “Knock Em Dead” by Rhonda Pollero.
Sounds awesome. Please put my name in the hat.
I’m currently reading an ARC of Twisted by Andrea Kane for review. I’m just starting, but so far so good.
Hi Jill, To be truthful I haven’t read any of your books. But I really enjoyed that excerpt of your new book. Would love to have the whole copy. I may even start buying your books. Does the Wal Mart carry them? It’s been a long time since I have read a good love story. That excerpt just jiggled my memory. I was young once you know.
Hi Jill,
I loved the first two books in this series, and have been waiting to read Maddie and Brody’s story since I read Smart and Sexy. Right now I’m reading Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy by HelenKay Dimon and Sara Morgan’s Civil War Diaries.
Congratulations on your eldest’s college acceptances!!!
Hey Jill. I’d love a copy of one of your books, cover or no cover.

Hi Jill,

Hi Jill,

Sounds Super! I love your books and I would love to read this ARC.
I read the first one and loved it! I’m sure they’re all wonderful. I got only two boxes of Girl Scout cookies so far - apparently when I had the flu I missed out on ordering the other boxes I had planned on getting - bummer.
I know your readers are going to love this one, Jill! I’m looking forward to its release! We’re under a blizzard warning in Ohio until late tomorrow afternoon so I have lots of reading time this weekend - I’m reading Dianne Castell’s HOT & BOTHERED and Sylvia Day’s DON’T TEMPT ME. I can only read two books at the same time if one’s a contemp and one’s a historical. Both of these are excellent and I highly recommend them!
Sounds great! I would love to read a copy!
I enjoy reading your blog, and would really enjoy reading your arc. I haven’t had alot of time to read for pleasure lately so don’t have a title to share. Please enter me in the contest
I recently finished Hot and Bothered by Dianne Castell and Thigh High by Christina Dodd - loved them both! I believe I’ll start Killer Secrets or Right Here Right Now next. Laurie had recommended your Smart and Sexy to me and I’m glad she did. Looking forward Superb and Sexy.
Oh, I’ve been anticipating the release of this book ever since I was first introduced to Maddie and Brody in Smart and Sexy, so definitely count me in. Thanks.
I enjoyed the first two books in this series so much I kept them to read over and over. I just love these characters! Can’t wait to read Maddie and Brody’s story. Thanks for the contest and definitely count me it!
Oh geez louise, you sure knew where to end that excerpt — that wasn’t nice, I wanted to read more!!!!!
Darn it, have to wait now. Pooh. Anyway, presently reading The Perfect Wife by Victoria Alexandra. 
Lois
I would love to win the arc and I am currently reading
Irresistible my Susan Mallery.
Hi Jill - I’ve been wanting to read Maddie and Brody’s story since “Smart and Sexy” came out!
Currently I’m re-reading “Betrayed by Love” by Diana Palmer and waiting for all my book orders to come in.
I’d love to win an ARC of Superb and Sexy!
Hi Jill…who WOULDN’T want an ARC of Superb and Sexy?!! Count me in!
Right now, I’m reading “The Boleyn Inheritance” which is a follow up to “The Other Boleyn Girl”. Its really neat so far and I think I actually like this one better than “The Other Boleyn Girl”.
