JUNGLE MADNESS FRIDAY!
Leslie Icon

It’s my turn to come up with a fun prize for our Friday giveaway. It’s hard to compete with Digger or cool book thongs, so I figured I’d try to satisfy one lucky winner’s craving for something sweet and sexy.

Those of you who have read my first HQN novel, SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY, may remember a certain sticky, HOT scene involving Johnny, Emma…and a pecan pie. (I love pecan pie!)

Anyway, just for fun, this week’s winner will get not only an autographed copy of SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY, plus the sequel, SHE’S GOT THE LOOK, but also the means to make your very own pecan pie. The “Pecan Pie In A Jar” will be shipped directly to you (books will arrive separately.) Just add a few ingredients and provide the shell and maybe you can have a sticky, sensual interlude of your own.

I’ll have one of my impartial rugrats choose a random winner from among everyone who comments. Check back Sunday for the name of the winner!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Leslie

LeslieLeslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

    Oh, I would even share the pie with my mom. We both love pecan pie. But she wouldn’t be able to touch my new books until I read them. ;)

    Hey … I just found this place — and it already feels like home! I feel like “monkey”-ing around a bit, so more from me later, but I just had to say something about the pecan pie in a jar. Oh wow, yum! And books to read? What could be better?!

    Screw the sensual interlude, there is no way I would share pecan pie in a jar with ANYONE. I’m a stingy, only-child and me likes my sweets.

    Thank God my husband hates nuts.

    Sign me up please! :p
