HEAD OVER HEELS
HEAD OVER HEELS
A Lucky Harbor Novel
BY JILL SHALVIS
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Free-spirited Chloe lives life on the edge. Unlike her soon-to-be married sisters, she isn't ready to settle into a quiet life running their family's newly renovated inn. But soon her love of trouble--and trouble with love-draws the attention of the very stern, very sexy sheriff who'd like nothing better than to tame her wild ways.
Suddenly Chloe can't take a misstep without the sheriff hot on her heels. His rugged swagger and his enigmatic smile are enough to make a girl beg to be handcuffed. For the first time, instead of avoiding the law, Chloe dreams of surrender. Can this rebel find a way to keep the peace with the straitlaced sheriff? Or will Chloe's colorful past keep her from a love that lasts . . . and the safe haven she truly wants in a town called Lucky Harbor?

EXCERPT FROM HEAD OVER HEELS:
Chapter 1
“If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.” Chloe Traeger
It wasn’t often that Chloe Traeger beat her sisters into the kitchen in the morning, but with Tara and Maddie currently sleeping with the town’s two hottest hotties, it’d been only a matter of time.
And in the name of fairness, Chloe hadn’t actually gotten to bed yet, but that was just a technicality. With a wide yawn, she started the coffee. Then gathering what she needed, she hopped up onto the counter – hissing in pain from her throbbing legs. The quiet in the kitchen soothed her as she mixed ingredients together for her natural antibacterial cream. Given how loudly she lived her life, the silence was a nice start to the day.
Especially today, which promised to get crazy quickly, though not much could out-crazy last night. Later in the afternoon, she’d be doing her esthetician thing at a high-end spa in Seattle, but first she had to put in some time here in Lucky Harbor at the B&B that she ran with her sisters.
The fact that her days were centering around work instead of play had her shaking her head with a rueful smile. Oh, how things change. Only a year ago, she’d been free as a bird, roaming happily from spa to spa at will, with no real ties. Then...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW:
Thank you to Jill Shalvis for taking time from her busy schedule, just as her newest book is coming out, to answer a few questions for my blog.
1. How much like yourself are the characters you write about and in particular in relation to this book?
I’d like to say I’m not like any of my characters, but that’s not quite true. I’m unfortunately quite like any of the slightly bumbling, klutzy, hopefully endearing characters I write. J

3. What is something you'd like to share bout you that readers don't know?
3. What is something you'd like to share bout you that readers don't know?

Actually I thought about a lot of things after reading this post. The first thing that caught my eye is this quote:
“If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.” Chloe Traeger
I think many have tried this and they are not serving time in prison. Secondly, I found it really interesting that the publisher is the person that picked the title. This is the first time I've heard this. I now wonder if that occurs more often than I would of thought.
GREAT post and thanks for the opportunity.

Even before I read about this book I was already interested. I loved "Simply Irresistable', and excited about having the second in the series on the shelf and definitely want to read this one, the last in the series.
On her wesite, she has an hour by hour description of a romance writer that sounds very familiar to me.

Wow! Jill has written a TON of books!! I hadn't realized that! I checked out her blog and her website which are both very cool. I enjoyed reading about her day, her dogs, etc. She seems to be very down to earth with a great sense of humor. She has 3 more Lucky Harbor books coming out in 2012. Cool!
