Customer Reviews

Another excellent story from Jill Shalvis!

Yet again, Shalvis creates a wonderful story about two people who fall in love. Her characters are realistic and human- I found myself completely engrossed in Cam and Katie's struggle to overcome their fears and find love. Even the secondary characters are well-drawn, furthering the world Shalvis has created and drawing the reader more deeply into the story.

Instant Attraction Is Another Shalvis Keeper

Instant Attraction By Jill Shalvis is spectacular. Its everything I enjoy from her books and so much more. Katie Kramer's new motto is Live Life Balls Out is really put to the test when she takes a temporary job at Wilder Adventures. After surviving a terrible car accident Katie feels she has to push herself to the limit. Late one night she is shocked to find Cameron Wilder claiming she is in his bed. This wasn't at all what she was planning when she wanted new things. Cameron Wilder has his own demons to deal with after a snow boarding accident. He wondered the world trying to get it out of his mind but has finally returned home to figure out what he truly wants. His first night back "goldilocks" is in his bed. Katie is so different from any other woman he has ever known. And her vow has him reevaluating his own world. Katie and Cameron both work hard at keeping their problems close to their hearts. But soon realize another survivor like themselves will help them to heal. Their attraction is instant and hot enough to melt any snow. Once Katie's temp job is over will they fight to keep each other in their lives. Jill Shalvis introduces readers to the fascinating Wilder clan in Instant Attraction. Katie and Cameron are complex characters and their chemistry is explosive. Then secondary romance of Annie and Nick is heartfelt and emotional. This is a well rounded novel and should be on everyone's list to buy.

An adventurous romance!

After surviving a horrendous accident that nearly took her life, Katie Kramer decides that it's time to make some changes and take charge of her life and her future. Deciding to take a temporary bookkeeping job for an outdoor adventure business in the Sierras, she's pleased with her decision. Until, that is, one of the owners of the business arrives unannounced in the night, demanding to know why she's in his bed. Despite this initial misunderstanding, sparks fly between Katie and former snowboard champion Cameron Wilder and she soon finds herself in the middle of her very own fast-paced, wild adventure. Cameron Wilder suffered a career-ending injury and is struggling with constant pain and a near addiction to pain meds. Having been estranged from his family for several months, his homecoming was a welcome surprise for everyone. Even more unexpected than his return is his instant attraction to Katie. He typically prefers low-intelligence snow bunnies, not smart, sensible, sweet girls like Katie Kramer. His family at Wilder Adventures repeatedly remind Cameron that employees are off-limits to the owners but Cameron can't help himself. He figures they're both adults, they both know that Katie's position is temporary, and when the time comes they'll simply move on. But that plan proves to be less than perfect when it's time for Katie to leave. Jill Shalvis writes great emotion and has a real talent for injecting just the right amount of humor at just the right time. Cameron and Katie are irresistible. Both are slightly damaged and more than a little vulnerable - imperfect enough to be perfect for each other. Secondary characters with their own stories are an added bonus to the story. I highly recommend this book to all contemporary romance lovers. If you've enjoyed Jill's books in the past, you're going to love this one, and if you're new to Jill, this is the first book in a fun new series - there's no better place to start reading her work!

Great read from Jill Shalvis

This was a long awaited book on my list, and I wasn't disappointed. The main characters (Katie Kramer and Cam Wilder) are interesting and relative. They have great adventures together that bring them closer, though there are some bumps along the way, and they get their happily ever after that we all crave in a romance. It's a wild, hot, sexy ride from start to finish! I can't wait for the next book in the series, Instant Gratification, starring Stone Wilder. I'm a long time Shalvis fan, I've read almost all of her books, and I would recommend them all!

Instant Attraction is another great Jill Shalvis book!

I loved Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis! Her fast paced writing, captivating characters and funny, but real situations made it so I didn't want to put the book down until I got to the end. Set in the Sierra's during winter, the landscape plays an integral part of the story, but the two main characters, Katie and Cameron, are what really bring the story to life. They've both been through traumatic events, and each has deeply personal motivations for being in the mountains, but as soon as their reasons collide, without hesitation they help each other overcome their fears. In the process a steamy, unforgettable romance blossoms and after a few bumps, of course they get their HEA. I can't wait for Jill's next book in this series!
