Jillian Dodd – 3 Questions
Jillian Dodd thinks her book crush is just really, really HOT! That hotness belongs to Jack F’n Carter from the The Perfect Game series by J. Sterling. Baseball jock, who is a stellar player on all of the fields (ha!), but is really just lost in the world of love. Plus he and has a fanatical following, I mean come on, he even has the best nickname ever, Jack F’n Carter! What’s not to love?
I love that Jillian chose The Nancy Drew Mystery series as the books she wish she’d written; they were such a huge part of my childhood collection. However, I just read a little bit about the ghostwriters involved for that series (first published in the 1930) and I bet the meager salary and loss of all rights might not be so glamorous these days. Jillian also is a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic Series and would have loved to write those books. I bet the ‘research’ would be the most fun!
Only a little bit of real life has made it into Jillian’s novels. Some of her past experiences and those affects have given some context to her characters and their adventures. As you might know from her bio, Jillian did have a boy propose to her in a bar!

That Boy (That Boy #1)
Category:Young Adult, New Adult, Contemporary Romance
Publication: May 16th, 2011
Purchase: Amazon, B&N
You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.
There’s Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it’s windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He’s the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He’s pretty much irresistible.
Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He’s the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.
One boy will give me my very first kiss.
One boy will teach me to make out.
One boy will take me to prom.
And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him.
They will both be my best friends.
But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with.
Only one of them is That Boy.
