I can’t believe that BORN TO BE WILDE is less than three months away from hitting the bookstores! 8O It’s been a long two years between Wilde books, but I’m really excited that Joel Wilde is FINALLY getting his own story! I’ve been lucky enough to get a gorgeous, sexy cover (which has been posted here numerous times, of course! :wink:) and now I’m in the process of working on promotion for the book. Bookmarks, magnets, bookplates and excerpt flyers are being made, and will soon be available for you all to receive if you’re interested. But for now, I have a cool new video trailer to share with you all, and below, the chance to WIN A FREE ARC COPY (Advanced Reading Copy) of Joel Wilde’s story months before it’s available in stores!!!
But first, the promotional video, which is making it’s debut here, at Plotmonkeys! It hasn’t been posted anywhere else, and the only person who has seen it is Carly, so you all are getting a sneak peek before it goes “live” on my site and other places. Last week Carly showed you one of these videos of her soon-to-be released book, so most of you know the drill. You should only have to click on the button in the middle of the video for it to start playing. It’s only about 30 seconds long, but I think it’s hot and sexy and fun! Be sure to tell me what you all think!

And now . . . here’s your chance to win an ARC copy of BORN TO BE WILDE! Remember, an Advanced Reading Copy is a plain covered, uncorrected 
proof of my manuscript, as shown in the picture!) Most of the time we make it easy on you to win free stuff here and it’s only a matter of posting anything on our daily blog, but since this is special giveaway of a book that won’t be available in stores for MONTHS, I’m going to make you work for Joel Wilde’s story! If you’d like to be entered for the chance to win an advanced reading copy of BORN TO BE WILDE, then you have to tell me (and convince me!) of why YOU should be the one to get this ARC of Joel’s story (and yes, bribes of Starbucks and Chocolate will be considered! LOL. Just kidding. Sort of. 
). I’ll pick my favorite “reasons” of why you should be the lucky winner, and draw a random winner from those favorites. So, have fun with your posts — convince me that YOU’RE the one who absolutely has to have BORN TO BE WILDE before anyone else does!
Janelle 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’m not going to enter because I recently won an ARC here, and I think other people should get a chance…not that I really, really, REALLY don’t want a copy because I really, really REALLY do. I love your Wilde books Janelle – they are some of the sexiest books I’ve ever read and I thank you for each and every one of them :love2:
Comment
Wow, Janelle! The video is AWESOME! Great music and I love how they used the cover image in so many different ways. Great, great job!
Comment
I could say that I would like a copy for the “educational” aspects of seeing an ARC. However, while that would be a perfectly good reason, I REALLY just can’t wait to read Joel’s story! I know, not the most creative reason, but an honest one.
Happy Thursday everyone~
Comment
Hi. I think your movie clip is great. I ended up here from Carly Phillips website and I haven’t read any of your books before. I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to find a new author! It sounds like you’re a fabulous author. I would love to receive your book!! Thanks.
Comment
I know my answer is going to sound like a bunch of BS, but it’s true. I actually typed my answer and then went back to the top and added this little note. Of course, I guess if bribes would work then BS oughta work too,:lol: but I’m very sincere with this answer…..
Because you and Scott Wilde changed my life I have a special place in my heart for all the Wilde boys. Mia and Cam were great, but in a different way.
I’ve posted before about how I was wondering the book isles – I’d never before picked up a romance book at the bookstore – and the cover of The Wilde Side caught my eye. I picked it up, read it in about 48 hours and then started on a search for all the Wilde stories. Then I started collecting all of your past books, in the process stumbling across the other Plotmonkeys as well.
After that I was hooked on romance and started to wonder if I could write. At the beginning of Mia’s story you told how she evolved and how you and Cameron peeled back the layers. The whole process intrigued me and so I decided to give it a shot and now, here I am, years later….still wondering if I can write!! :happy2:
Scott hooked me on reading, Mia made me wonder if I could write, I can’t even begin to tell you what it would mean to have an ARC of Joel’s story. But whether I win it or not, thanks to you and all the Plotmonkeys for turning me into a romance junkie and aspiring writer.
Comment
Bribes of Starbucks huh? Hmmmm…how about a gift card to Starbucks and a package of our semi famous Nichol’s Candies?? Their chocolate is incredible. And if I could post a hunk on here I would so that would entice you even more. LOL!
How about begging?? Will that work?? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick me.
Or how about the promise to read the ARC and then spread the word like wildfire so people are lining up at Barnes & Noble the night before the book is released. I have been known to be pretty persuasive (sp?)
And last but not least, I need the escape. I have been AWOL for a while because I am Captain of a Relay For Life team. The American Cancer Society does an overnight walk and I have been busy raising money for the fight against all types of cancers not just one specific type. The walk is Friday the 15th into Saturday the 16th. So I could read the book while I am getting blisters on my feet, but atleast I would have a smile on my face.
Good luck everyone!
Comment
ooo, i’m bound to be stuck in an airport on a plane delay with nothing to do except rave about how everyone should buy the future release of the ARC that i’m currently reading!
Comment
I’m not good at this but here goes. I love the Wilde family, if you pick me I’d tell everyone how great it is ( I know it will be).
Comment
I’ve been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. And soon it will be mine.
This totally rocks! Joel SIGH :love:
Comment
I should get it because my TBR pile has NOT a single plotmonkey book in it! Yes, it’s true. Okay, the pile has only about 3 or 4 books in it, but that is besides the point. I love the WILDE books. I should also win it because I am from the West Coast, like you, Janelle, I am a LOYAL plotmonkey blogger, I would LOVE to send you TONS of Starbucks’ cards (I’d even give you the one I have in my purse!:coffee:), PLUS, I would throw in YOUR choice of See’s Candies OR because I am feeling REALLY generous, I would give you my LAST two Nordstrom Habits chocolates that I got for Mother’s Day (Yes, oddly, out of nine of them, a month later I have TWO left…I am pacing myself
). They are so yummy and delish. MY FAVORITES!
Comment
I love the name Joel. It is my son’s name and he is so special.
Comment
Janelle, I should win the ARC because if I don’t, I’ll sick my dog on the winner
. Just kidding. But seriously, I’ll beat the winner over the head with a frying pan if I don’t win. 
OK, I won’t really do that either. But I will throw a huge temper tantrum if I don’t win 
:cursing: But if I do win, I’ll be so very, very happy & even do a little cheer for you 
and then once the ARC arrives in the mail I’ll throw a happy little party 
Pick me, pick me, pick me. OK, I’ve had way too much coffe this morning

Comment
well, I am packing to move. After a lifetime of reading, I whittled my library to 28 boxes of books. Obviously, I need to win this story to add to my collection of keepers.
Comment
Wonderful trailer, Janelle! I’m so excited the book is almost here. Can’t wait to read it.
Comment
Okay, I was going to beg and plead to be your pick for the Arc copy of Born to Be Wilde, but I think that Debbie should win, what a creative way to try to win a book, and I am sure we would all love to see a video of her singing Born to Wild. LOL But if you decide to pick someone else, I would love to win because I have been a fan of yours for so long and your Wilde series is one of my all time favorites and is on my keeper shelf.
BTW I loved your movie. Very nice cover to the book and the trailer just made me want to read the book even more.:cheer:
Comment
Okay, you all are making it difficult for me to pick just one winner, LOL!
Jodie — Thank you for your story. You gave me a big “awwww” moment!
And if your heart is telling you to write, then DO IT. Be determined and persistent and it’ll happen! I truly believe that for everyone who wants to write and get a book published. I’m not saying it’s an easy road to publication, but determination goes a very long way in making it a reality!
Debbie — you crack me up! I can’t believe you went through the whole entire alphabet :happy2:
As for those bribes . . . they are very, very tempting.
BTW, I’ll be posting the winner on Sunday (along with Friday’s contest winner), so you all need to check back on Sunday to see if you won the ARC for Joel’s story!).
Comment
Janelle-the video is great.:thumbsup: I would love to be the one you pick to receive the ARC because who wouldn’t want a chance to walk on the Wilde side?:devil:
Comment
Janelle…I LOVE THAT VIDEO! It’s fabulous!!
And I am loving reading all these comments, too! Oy, you’re going to be in a tough position having to choose just one. 8O
Comment
Comment
I love the video!:bowdown:
I think it only fair that you’re giving away an ARC since your not offering up the phone number of that hunk on the cover of BORN TO BE WILDE!:lol:
Comment
Janelle you need to provide bibs with that video.
That really made my morning!! Thank you, Thank you.
Comment
Wow…very cool trailer!!
My reason why I should win the ARC is because….
I was born to be wild:devil:
:happy2::happy2::happy2:
Comment
Janelle,
Thanks for the encouragement. The Jedi mind trick must be working it’s magic.
Patty thanks for the vote. If she doesn’t pick me–well, I hope it’s you. But come on making us wait until Sunday is just plain creul. I can’t take the suspense.

Nice video Janelle. Since I have to confess to never reading any of the Wilde books maybe this would be an incentive. I do intend to see if I can get copies at the used bookstore or through a swap but as yet I haven’t done it! Sorry. I do like your books & I’m sure I will enjoy the Wilde’s when I read them.
What fun having an unexpected contest. :) Thanks.
Comment
Janelle – since I won a Wilde story recently (in the anthology), I’ll pass up the opportunity, but I will say that I’m EAGERLY awaiting Joel’s story.
Just love them Wilde men! Thanks for being such a gracious author who treats her fans with such friendliness & warmth.
You’re on my auto-buy list!
Comment
I think that I should win just because I’m awesome! JUST KIDDING!! But really…I think I should win becuase I wouldn’t be able to get it until like 5 months after it was released!! And I’ll send you bunchies of hugs and kisses and I would offer starbucks and such but I don’t have a starbucks where I LIVE!! NOt even a Dunkin’ Doughnuts!! I KNOW!! HOW HAVE I LIVED!!
PLUS your just amazing and I really really really really really Want to read that book!! I need to read something to take me away send me on a romantic sexy journey!!
SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PICK ME!!!
:bowdown::bowdown: I BOW TO YOU!!
Comment
Okay I was going to write something cool, something witty, something that would possibly earn me the ARC. I love them I do. I treasure them very close to my heart. I am very proud to own them.
All of that said (and it’s true) after reading Jodie’s and Debbie’s, well, let’s just say they are in the run for the lead. :)
Good luck both of you.
Comment
Hi all,
I don’t know if I can out do Debbie! Great reasons. But I’m dying to read Joel’s story too.:-) My sister got me hooked on the Wildes’ starting with Mia and Cameron! I went on a glom. For sibling rivarly reasons!!! I would be such a coup to tell her I have JOEL’S story first…yeah, no nose rubbing at all. LOL
And I would share it my sister too, I would. Good luck to all.
Comment
Okay, to digress a bit here…Bruce just got home from his business trip.
With a CASE of cannoli, fresh from an Italian bakery in Philadelphia.
I am in heaven.
Comment
Love the trailer!!! You should pick me because I love the Wilde Family and can’t wait to read Joel’s story. Would a great review have any influance????
The number one reason why you should pick me is because I am your number 1 fan.
and you know what might happen if you upset your number one fan….refer to SK’s Misery. Pick me and Don’t Let This happen to you.
Starbucks and chocolate can also be arranged.
Comment
Leslie – a CASE?!? Wow, you must be doing something right!:lol: Have we gotten a page count today? or Yesterday?
Vicki – that was nice, thanks!
Janelle – I can send chocolate and Starbucks cards and all the other bribes too. And I can threaten to sing if you DON’T pick me!:happy2:
Comment
Well, Debbie outdid us all in the creativity catagorey.:bowdown:
So I will just say that I would love to add this to my ARC collection. I think you are the only one I DON’T have one from of the Plot Monkeys.
However, if I don’t win and we actually get one in at work, can I sent it to you to be signed????:wave:
Seattle’s Best is the parent company for Starbucks, so you know, I get an employee’s discount…..:devil:
Comment
Hi Janielle,
Love the trailer!
I have never read any of your books since I can’t find any at my library!:cry::hide: This would be an opportunity to introduce me to your books and I really want to read them!
Comment
Ok, I just got the opportunity to check back. Wow! Debbie is very creative. I think she may have a copy locked up.
I still think the “educational” tact was a good one. I’m still learning here you know. :)
Comment
Janelle, don’t count me in since I got my copy Tuesday for Born to be Wilde. Thank you ,thank you, thank you!!! I reallly think that Joel and Lora have the hottest story of all the Wilde’s. I was having a really BAD day at work, but when I got home, your package was waiting for me. Thanks again and good luck to everyone.
BTW, love the video and the different views of the cover with the music. I’m telling all my friends to drop by and check it out.
Comment
Just checking in….Leslie…A WHOLE CASE of canollis? I hope you have written a lot…either that or you have been REALLY BAD!:devil:
Janelle: I can only offer you my lone Starbuck’s card and my last two Nordstrom Habits. I do have some other chocolates, but they are not as good as the Habits. The only other reason I should be considered is that I have been such a good Mom and wife this week. I had my seven year old vomiting on me all Sunday night AND TODAY, I have had a vomiting husband (okay, he missed me, but I wasn’t so lucky with my son). I now have a stomach ache and I fear I am getting this (willing myself better). I don’t ask for a lot. I haven’t read many of your books (although, the ones I have read, ROCK!). Whew…love those WILDE boys. My husband laughs at my Wilde books because I don’t usually go for wild boys, I like boring CPA, nerdy types…..::P So, that’s it. I think Jodie has a lock on it…..that Jedi mind trick should work (I should have thought of that as my middle guy LOVES “Star Wars”). Tomorrow, I will come up with a poem for you….:):present::present::present:
Comment
Boy am I glad I popped over here!
I love all the Wilde books and am in Wilde withdrawal because it is so long since I have had a Wilde to read about.
So please pick me so I dont die from being deprived any longer. How’s that?:violin:
Comment
Oh my, and to think I would have missed it had I not been stuck inside this evening doing laundry. I’m just sitting here waiting for the buzzer to beep, browsing around. lol Cool video!
I’d like to offer you a cyber soak in a big Jacuzzi tub and a man to wait on you all night long in exchange for your book. If you don’t want him to talk, he won’t talk. He can just nod yes to whatever you ask.
I want it…..really bad!
Comment
What if I begged, tell everyone I know and all the blog sites that I loved the book and that they must buy it? And lend it to my neice who gives me a lot of books.
Comment
I’m glad you all are enjoying the video for BORN TO BE WILDE!
Man, OH MAN, you all are making it soooo hard for me to choose! I think I’m going to have to let my daughter read the entries and pick the winner. I don’t think I can do it myself, LOL. Oh, the PRESSURE!!! :doh: That, and I’m afraid that Barbara is going to go all Stephen King (MISERY) on me! :happy2:
Comment
Katie feel better!
Debbie you outdid us all:bowdown:
Leslie….A whole case?! Wow that’s alot of canolli do you have a bedroom door yet:devil: If not maybe you need to freeze some:happy2:

Hugs,
Michele
Comment
Very clever, Karen! I think you and Debbie might have to duke this one out, LOL!
Helen — You tempt me! I’ll take everything but your first born. I’m dealing with teenagers right now and can’t imagine taking on any more kids, LOLOL!
Tina, if you start stripping off your top, I’m going to have to ban you from the competition
though I’m sure Bruce wouldn’t mind at all, LOLOL!
Comment
Wow–how exciting! And though I’d love to win an ARC, I confess that I’m way too lazy to be so creative! So pick Debbie! Or Karen! And again, oooh, another yummy story to wait for… :) Yay, Janelle!
Comment
Anyone who uses a Jedi Mind Trick wins in my book.
Comment
Tina, it’s the frozen cannoli that seem to get Ms. Kelly (or at least her heroines) in big, big trouble.
Comment
Ok, here’s my story….I’m a stay at home mom of three girls! Yes, that’s right…all girls and your books are the only escape I get! Reading your books actually drowns out the yelling, screaming and hair pulling for a while. And since “Borne To Be Wilde” isn’t due out for 3 more months, I might not be able to make it.
I won’t make this long, since you have many to read, but here’s a little begging…PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give me an escape!!!
And here’s a little bribe….Starbucks and Chocolates will be delivered promptly if I win!!!!!
Love you and your books!!!!!!!!!
Comment
I would really love to win that ARC! I would really, really need something to take my mind off from renovations that never seem to end! I can’t bribe you with Starbucks, but would Finnish Chocolates sound good to you?
Comment
hmm would begging work??? i would be willing to grovel…:bowdown::bowdown: my hubbys in the military and left today til the end of the month again.. i need a good book to curl up with for the rest of the month…
and im on a limited book budget the next few months, because i work at my kids school.. another drawback to summer vacation>>> im unemployed til august..sigh…
Comment
I would like to receive the Borne To Be Wilde book because I am a HUGE fan of Joel.
The first book I read of this series was Mia and from the moment I read the scene wher Cam sees Joel and his co-workers/friends in the Electric Blue and when he sees the waitress and can’t take his eyes off of her I was hooked!
After I finished I read the excerpt many many times… too many to count and went to pre-order the book. The book was initially scheduled to be released July of last year but something happened and now it’s being relased in the next 3 mounths and I have just waited so long for this book and continuously mark off the days on the calendar until I receieve the phonecall from either Barnes & Nobles or Borders telling me that my order has arrived.
Good luck to those who enter
Comment
Cool, trailer! I’m going to be a critical bitch here-it needs more manly chest showing -not the girl boobs. I have pms so please forgive me. I’ve read all your work and love the Wilde family. I would love to get the arc of Joel’s story. I don’t have it in me today to be all nice and grovelly, so this is me on a pms day. (I figure I’ll be getting my copy at the bookstore).
