GIVEAWAY ENDEDTHE WILD ZONE
BY JOY FIELDING
ABOUT THE BOOK:
From New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author Joy Fielding comes a pulse-racing story of a harmless bet gone deadly wrong.
This is how it starts. With a joke.
Two brothers - Will and Jeff - and their friend Tom are out one night at their favorite South Beach bar when they decide to make a bet on who can be the first to seduce a mysterious-looking young woman drinking by herself. Pretty, dark-haired, blue-eyed Suzy has an innocent - almost ordinary - girl-next-door way about her. "Just waiting for Prince Charming to hit on her," Jeff says.
But Suzy isn't as naive as she seems. And she has an agenda of her own. Soon another challenge is born, only this one proves to be lethal.
Dark secrets, hidden passions and a story filled with intrigue, The Wild Zone will keep you in suspense until the very last page is turned.

The historical person whom Joy Fielding would like to meet was Golda Meir and I enjoyed learning that since she was a great leader. She would be my choice as well. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
I enjoyed reading the sample chapter which was entertaining. The introduction joke was excellent and I had never heard it so it was interesting. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
My biggest pet peeve is bad drivers

What trait is most noticeable about you? The author said she always says what's on her mind, which is good. My trait would be to always try not to hurt anyone's feelings, so I may not always say what's on my mind!

Jeff is the oldest of the three men at thirty two.

I LOVE Joy Fielding. I own all of her previous books but 3. I have not been able to find them as they are out of print!
I wish I could enter, but since I am in Canada I can't! I wonder why they won't ship to Canada, seeing as she is a Canadian author??
Good Luck to those that enter!
The guys think that a pomegranate martini is going to be "revolting" lol. It sounds good to me!

Reading the sample chapter, I had to laugh when the question of what wish you would ask for from a genie is asked and they start a conversation about "male size"! Such a typical male wish, and anyone who has gone out drinking with boys before has heard it!
Thanks,
Colleen

I enjoyed the author Q&A and found it interesting she would have liked to be able to sing or dance ballet.

Thanks for the giveaway.

You must be a teacher....making your readers think, and making things fun. Intersting that Joy would be happy eating birthday cake forever...I on the other hand...enjoy everything.
Wonder when your dog will receive the exciting phone call. mjsinger500@gmail.com
Jeff and Tom served in Afghanistan together.

I, too, deem my impatience to be my biggest flaw. However I don't have a hot temper. But I am easily frustrated and want people to "get to the point" fast when talking to me.

I enjoy the questions you ask for entries. I think it makes it more interesting! In the book Tom and Jeff had been best friends since high school and served several tours of duty in Afghanistan. Jeff had come a hero. Tom had come back disgraced.
