Jungle Madness Friday!
Janelle Icon

As most of you know, Fridays in the jungle are for free giveaways! Whoo-hoo!!! For the past three weeks the prizes have revolved around delicious pecan pie, Jelly Bellys, pralines and, of course, great books! Well, this week Janelle is giving away a deliciously fun gift prize that has to do with chocolate, but is completely FAT AND CALORIE FREE!!! So, the winner can enjoy this prize to their hearts content without worrying it’ll go straight to their hips. How great is that?

One grand prize winner will receive a Chocolate-opoly game set (The Monopoly version for chocolate lovers!). Chocolate is the theme of Janelle’s February 2006 Blaze release, SINFULLY SWEET, a decadent Valentine’s Day Collection of three hot and sexy stories by three of Harlequin’s Blaze authors! Winner will also receive an autographed copy of SINFULLY SWEET, (or an autographed book from Janelle’s backlist if you already have that book).

What is CHOCOLATE-OPOLY? A decadently delicious property trading game for chocolate lovers, in the same theme as Monopoly! Chocolate: dark, milk, bittersweet, semi-sweet, in a shake, filled with caramel, covered in nuts, or as a warm, frothy brew – there’s nothing the cocoa bean can’t do. Statistically speaking, nine out of ten people surveyed love chocolate. The tenth person always lies! Chocolate-opoly celebrates this glorious obsession.

Here’s a quick idea of how to play! Buy favorite chocolate properties, collect chunks of chocolate and trade them in for chocolate factories. Sounds easy enough – but pay your roasting fees, suppress your cravings, or get sent to Chocoholics Anonymous and it becomes a little more difficult . . . and a lot more fun. So, choose your token (tokens include a chocolate dipped strawberry, chocolate chip cookie, piece of cake, chocolate chip, cocoa beans, and hot fudge sundae!) and then roll the dice! Who knows? You may be chosen as a “super-taster”, or you may experience Death by Chocolate. Here’s a game for the true chocophile!

All you have to do to enter this contest is post on today’s blog. Winners will be choosen by an impartial family member and will be announced on Sunday. So, be sure to check back on Sunday to see if you’ve won!

Janelle

JanelleJanelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

    I am Michele #2. I have Janelle on my favorites list so I check out her website often. I love chocolate, my husband loves chocolate. We love the game, Monopoly. So that would be grand to win “Chocolate-opoly”! I absolutely adore Janelle’s books so winning her book, “Sinfully Sweet”, would be fantastic! I have been reading Janelle’s books for a while now!

    I’m new to this site but boy it sure sounds like a lot of fun!!
    I’m a confirmed chocoholic BUt I’ve never heard of “Chocolate-poly” sounds like it could be quite interesting!
    Janelle’s “Wilde” series was wonderful! I’m sure that “Sinfully Sweet” will be a great read too.
    Have a nice holiday!
