Jill Shalvis is a NYT, USA Today, and Amazon Top 100 bestselling author of small-town romance and romcoms, known for big feels, found family, and plenty of shenanigans.

I am writing this blog for the second time because Hank, aka Hank The Tank, aka Hankathon, aka Hankers, pounced on me and somehow managed to hit delete. Good thing he’s cute…

Okay, back to books. :) Let me tell you about a man named Ryder Colburn.
He’s a contractor. A bit of a control freak. Has the emotional range of a bank vault... until it comes to Penny.

And Penny? She’s sunshine with sass. She

"Someone from my past."

He drew a deep breath, and I braced for the third degree.

“Strongest woman I know,” he murmured, and I wished I’d gone through with our pretend date.”

“This would come back to bite me in the ass, but it wasn’t going to stop me from asking out the first woman who’d fascinated me in way too long. Me, the guy who hadn’t been able to access his emotions in an even longer time.

What could possibly go wrong? Only everything…”

“She realized the murderous urges suggested that she, in fact, did not have this, but hey, no one was perfect.”
Jill Shalvis, The Backup Plan

“He had no idea what it was about her that got beneath his guard, and he couldn’t quite say he liked it, but somehow he liked her, which couldn’t be good for either of them.”
Jill Shalvis, The Backup Plan

“She wanted him. She wanted him bad, too. But he seemed more like one of those kind of ideas that sounded really good in the moment, but had the potential to turn out spectacularly bad. Like when she opened a family size bag of chips and then ate the whole thing.”
Jill Shalvis, The Backup Plan

“And damn, she was in over her head, because if he had a hold of her heart — which was likely, the sneaky bastard — she wasn’t entirely convinced he’d be careful with it.”
Jill Shalvis, The Backup Plan

“You kissed me last night.”
There was no denying that. “I did.”
“And if I were to return the favor?” his asked, voice low and husky.
Her eyes locked on his mouth. “It would probably be the polite thing to do.”

message 1: by Mel

Mel Thanks for the friendship, Jill! I love your writing style...your books and your blog. I believe we could be sisters separated at birth. Each time I read your "I Love Lucy Moments," I swear you could be writing about me. I always find myself in some silly pickle...locking myself out of the house without my keys, misplacing my cell phone to discover my husband had put it back in it's appropriate pocket in my purse, losing my glasses to feel them sitting on top of my head. Thank you for providing me with the courage to laugh at myself. Mel :)
