Instant Temptation

(Wilder #3)

by Jill Shalvis

Paperback, 273 pages

Published April 1st 2010 by Brava

T.J. Wilder is the perfect package of breathtaking adventure and raw sex appeal. Even better, he's about to reconnect with the one woman he's never been able to forget...

Get Your Pulse Racing

To Harley, the landscape around Wishful, California, is exhilarating, untamed, and more than a little dangerous. The same could be said for T.J. Wilder, who's invited himself along on her trek to study a rare coyote. Harley's career is riding on this trip, and she doesn't need a stubborn, incredibly sexy distraction. But T.J. is a professional guide who knows when to stay back and when to provide invaluable expertise-just like he's done since they were in high school. And Harley, as usual, is torn between throttling him and giving in to the raw attraction that's been smoldering all these years.

T.J. knows how proud and capable Harley is, but he's damned sure not letting her put herself at risk when there are illegal hunters in the area. She needs him, with the same soul-stirring urgency that he's always craved her. And here, in this beautiful place days from civilization, he'll finally have a chance to prove it-over and over again...

First Line(s): If you asked TJ Wilder to chose between a warm Autumn night in the Sierras or a warm woman, he knew that most people would put money on him taking the woman.

Favorite Line(s): "oh honey" her mom stroked her hair. "If there's one thing you've always been, it's strong as hell; mind, body and spirit. You're sure what you want. All you have to do is admit it."

My Review: If you can get past the weak suspense plot that is weaved into the story you will be left with a gem of a book!

I have read many many books and I can honestly say that Jill Shalvis made the Wilder boys stand out in my heart. They are so endearing in the way they choose to take on each day with all they got and that there is nothing more important than family!

With that said I believe TJ would be the Wilder boy to win my heart out of the 3 of them. I can't pinpoint what he has that his brothers don't, but I loved him!!!

I am sad to see the end of this series ( I assume it is the end?). The Wilder family will stick with me for years to come.

If you want a fun, sexy, sweet and witty series to start... these 3 books is a great one to pick!

Until next time...Happy Reading!

Instant Gratification by Jill Shalvis {Review}

Instant Gratification

(Wilder #2)
by Jill Shalvis

Paperback, 284 pages
Published July 1st 2009 by Brava

In Instant Attraction, Jill Shalvis introduced Cameron, Stone, and T.J.—the sexy, daredevil brothers who run Wilder Adventures. And for Stone Wilder, the thrill of a lifetime is about to arrive in a surprising package. . .

The Doctor Is In Deep

Wishful, California, is 3000 miles from Dr. Emma Sinclair's last job in a New York City ER. It may as well be another galaxy. Here, running her father's clinic for a summer, Emma treats bee stings, stomach flu, and the occasional pet cat. Plus, she has to contend with patients like Stone Wilder: gorgeous, laid-back, and irritating beyond belief. The man laughs at her. A lot. And Emma loathes him. All except that tiny part of her that wants to throw him on her examining table and break every doctor-patient rule in the book. . .

When Stone tries to help Emma learn to loosen up a bit, he pictures white-water rafting or scenic mountain hikes. Not a mind-blowing affair that shakes them both to the core. Emma's sure she has no place in a town like Wishful, but Stone knows different. Emma belongs here—in this town, in his life. And convincing this strong-minded, stubborn, sexy woman of that fact will be a challenge no Wilder man could resist. . .

First Line(s): Hot and bothered, and not in the good way, Dr. Emma Sinclair switched the sign on her father's medical clinic from closed to open.

Favorite Line(s): "Yeah, and a smile that always puts one on my mouth as well, and a way of looking at me that weeds through all the bullshit and sees the real me. You make me laugh, you make me think. You turn me on Emma, in everyway." As proven when he sttled his hands on her hips and pulled her into him so that she could feel him, fully aroused. "You are truly the most beautiful woman I'ver ever had the pleasure of kissing."

My Review: I love Jill Shalvis' writing so much. I'm waiting to pick up one of her novels and feel like it was a "miss" for me but it just hasn't happened yet ( maybe never?). Jill Shalvis is a winner ( maybe she has tiger's blood). Her writing is funny, witty, light-hearted, and deep with the emotions!

We all know the motto of not judging a book by the cover... this series is a prime example of why we should not do this! The covers do NOT do this series justice! Instant Gratification could stand alone without reading the first book in the series, but I would suggest reading them in order. These brothers are too drool worthy to miss one single detail about them. I am the least outdoorsy girl ever and if I knew they would be the one's dragging me around the mountain tops I would sign up in a heartbeat! Yum-o!

Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis {Review}

Instant Attraction

(Wilder #1)
by Jill Shalvis

302 pages
Published February 1st 2009 by Brava

The first in a sensational new series, Jill Shalvis introduces Cameron, Stone, and T.J. Wilder—three bad-boy heroes who effortlessly mix breathtaking adventure and scorching sex appeal...

Get Wild...And Then Get Wilder...

Accountant Katie Kramer is a quintessential good girl—working hard, recycling diligently, all the while trying to ignore the feeling that she doesn't fit in anywhere. That's all she wants. Well, that—and amazing sex, and the kind of daredevil escapade she can look back on when she's crunching numbers in a dusty cubicle. Which explains why she just took a job in Wishful, California, working for Wilder Adventures and Expeditions. Waking up to find a magnificently built stranger towering over her bed—that part defies explanation...

After wandering the planet for months following a life-changing accident, Cameron Wilder has come back to the only home he knows. Under other circumstances, he might be thrilled to find a gorgeous woman sleeping in his cabin, but now, while he'll risk his body taking clients on adrenaline-drenched excursions, his heart is off limits. Still, Katie's killer smile triggers something deep in his gut...among other places. Showing her how exhilarating it can be to stop balancing her life as if it was a checkbook is the biggest rush he's ever felt—and an adventure Katie's wishing would never end. . .

"Jill Shalvis sweeps you away."—Cherry Adair

First Line(s): "Live life balls out," Katie Kramer told herself every night and even though she didn't own a pair, she hoped the manta would keep the nightmares away.

Favorite Line(s): “Who’s there?”
“The scratcher of your itch,” he said.
She opened the door a crack and stuck her nose out. “Was that supposed to be romantic?”

My Review: First thing first... the cover model threw me off on what I thought Cameron Wilder looked like from the story. I normally don't put entirely too much thought into the cover models but for some reason I couldn't stop comparing the Cameron Wilder on the cover and the Cameron Wilder in the story. Just putting that out into the universe, ha!

Instant Attraction was sexy, funny, and an overall fun read! The H/h were so believeable in their quicky ways they played off each other. Cameron poked, Katie poked right back. I loved that this story was full of overcoming things life throws at you and making the most of each day. This story was solid and a perfect start to the Wilder Series.

Jill Shalvis is my new go to author, as you all can see I am on a roll with her books and I just started reading her books in the middle of the summer. She has yet to fail me and I would be blown over if she ever does. She just might be queen of Contemporary Romance for me right now!

My Rating:

Stay tune, the other two books in the Wilder Series are coming to CBS for a review!

Until next time...Happy Reading!
