I thought that would get your attention :grin: My fabulous editor sent me some copies of Temperature’s Rising so I thought I would give away a couple. Here’s the back cover blurb:
IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED…There are good and bad things in an undercover cop’s life. Mistaking the police chief’s luscious daughter for a prostitute? Bad, bad, bad. Finding out the babe is a black belt who will soon be posing as your wife on a sting operation? Oh baby, so good. For lawman Conor Richmond, playing house while trying to crack a burglary ring means a chance to make amends to Jessica Nelson for the, um, unfortunate pat-down. And with the arrival of a heart-shaped mattress, a faux bearskin rug, chocolate and champagne, Conor’s well on his way to making sure their charade looks, feels, and tastes blissfully real… TRY AGAIN…Jessica comes from a long line of cops—shoot, her teething ring was a pair of handcuffs—and she’s had it. She wants a normal life with a husband who doesn’t think procedurals are foreplay. Still, if going undercover will save her dad’s job, she’s willing to do it. But her resolution to keep her cool around the smug, sexy Conor—a man who can arouse her with one naughty wink—will be tough. Who knew staking out bad guys while staging full-on makeout sessions would be such a rush? Suddenly, Jessica’s having second thoughts about giving up police work—and a certain hot cop… AND AGAIN…AND AGAIN…Now, with the temperature rising—both on the case and in the bedroom—tworelentless, funny, exasperating, hot-blooded and head-over-heels cops are in danger of blowing their cover—with each other…
I hope that comes across okay since I copied and pasted. Just in case it didn’t you can read more about it and all of my books at www.authorkarenkelley.com
I’ll pick two winners from the comments. You must be 18 or older and you must name me in your will….okay, you don’t have to name me in your will. I’ll end the contest sometime around 10pm because that’s about the time I go to bed.

The last time I was the executor of a will it cost me money so just adding my name to your will is fine—unless all you have are bills. The only thing I’ve been left so far are bills. I really need a long lost rich uncle.
Yes! Everyone needs this book. Tell all your friends to run out and buy it. Help a starving author. Okay, maybe not exactly starving since my clothes are getting more snug.

Oh, wow. Looks great!

I’m intrigued. I’m adding this book to my TBB list!

I think I would enjoy a pat-down from Conor Richmond. 
I absolutely love the cover and that blurb is terrific! I’ll make sure that you get first choice of all my worldly possessions, of which there aren’t many unfortunately.

:pouncing: you know I want this! 
For everyone else reading, I just got it directly from Karen that the blurb really, truly, and honest to God reflects the story–how cool is that?
And I’m not only over 18, I’m over 18 TWICE!!!

I’ve come to the conclusion that most of us are old 
But then I got to thinking—I’m having way more fun old than I ever did young
Oh, hey, wanted to tell y’all I’ll be having a bigger contest toward the end of June for my newsletter group. It’s easy to join, just go to www.authorkarenkelley.com It’s an announcement only list so all you’ll get are announcements about new books and contest info. I love doing contests—I’m actually doing one for them now

Well, I am waaaaaay beyond 18…in fact, my daughter is older than that (but I won’t admit my age no matter what kind of liquor you bribe me with…you were going to bribe me with liquor, weren’t you…please?).
Hi RobinL, if Conor and Jessica teach you any new tricks could you let me know about them.
Cute saying…”Inside every older person is a younger person—wondering what the hell happened.”
Would love to win a copy of ‘Temperature’s Rising’. Would name you in my will, but I think you have to have money to need a will and at the rate the cost of gas is rising I won’t have much of that green stuff left soon as it will all be invested in my car’s gas tank.

18 + 18 + 18 +…….Oh stop it! So I’m over the hill! I love the back cover write-up and would love to read your book. I’ve known men like Conor, and my blood races every time I remember my trists with them. Memories are a GOOD thing.

I loved the excerpt, Karen. Lots of times I’ve had to close my eyes and recite things I learned back in school (my version of “Yom-da-da-da-da-da.”).
And the cover is HOT!!!
