A Jill Shalvis Listening Game Complete with a Winner’s Prize – Closed

Rescue My HeartWhen you discover an audio series that makes you laugh a lot and gasp a little as well, it’s a perfect reason to try and do more than a regular giveaway. You know…break the mold, go beyond generating excitement for the latest release … wait, a game! How about playing a game with the book?

 

The Game

The third book in Jill Shalvis’ Animal Magnetism series, Rescue My Heart, was released in print during November 2012 and now audiobook fans will have the pleasure of experiencing it in audio format with the delightful Karen White once again behind the mic portraying both the humans and the critters. If you have heard Karen voicing humans, you know she does it well. But her ability to give life to animal characters (complete with the appropriate sounds when called for) is nothing short of amazing. And since the Animal Magnetism series revolves around fostered brothers who own an animal shelter/veterinary practice in Idaho, Karen is the perfect fit!

When Karen first started narrating Rescue My Heart, she tweeted her excitement over performing another Jill Shalvis title, commenting on how funny one particular scene is that gives a nod to romance audiobook lovers. That caught my attention. I knew AudioGals had to plan something in honor of this romance audiobook scene. And here we are…

Now we want you to find that scene so here’s the teaser Karen supplied for our game today:

The hero comes upon the heroine listening to an audiobook. She claims it’s for her book club, but then it’s revealed that it’s a pretty hot romance (and not for the book club). There’s even dialogue for the narrator!

As a fan of the Animal Magnetism series, I wanted this giveaway to inspire Jill Shalvis fans, be they new or veteran audiobook fans, to listen to Rescue My Heart with more than the usual anticipation – listening, laughing, and eager to hear this scene and report in to AudioGals with an “I found it” type of response. So, I guess you could call this a listening game of sorts.

So, here’s how you enter today’s contest – with the Time Stamp. When the heroine Holly utters the words “I was just listening to an audio book,” pause your listen in order to note how long you’ve been listening to Rescue My Heart at that point. Will the scene come at 1:03:12 – 4:22:13 – 7:00:10? Then use those numbers when entering the contest.

Questions? If you have difficulty locating the Time Stamp, let us know and we’ll help you locate it on your particular device.

 

And the Winner Receives…

Three romance titles of your choice through Audible.

  1. I had fun Karen – thanks for your help with the Time Stamp. :)

    I’m loving the listen – you were right in that Rescue My Heart tackles heavier subject matter with PTSD – but I’m still smiling or laughing my way through most parts.

    As always the various pets Milo – Beans – Thing One – Thing Two -etc. add extra enjoyment for any animal lover. :D

  2. I have to warn listeners that there are actually only a couple instances of animals “talking” (e.g. mewing, arfing) in this book. But Jill promised to add more in to the next book in the series! (coming out in November – yay!) Hope there aren’t any hyenas or elephants :)

  3. True on the actual animal sounds in Rescue My Heart but the animals still have personalities that come across and make you want them for your own. :)

    With the lead up given during this story I’m looking forward to Grff and Kate’s book in November – and I’ll hope for no hyenas! LOL

  4. Do we have to enter a timestamp to enter the giveaway? I don’t own Rescue My Heart so I have no way of finding the scene you mentioned.

    1. You do need the timestamp to enter. I guess this could also be called a group listen with a prize. You must listen to participate.

  5. Call me dumb, but I cannot figure out how to get the total time stamp. I have the MP3 version but it only tells me the minutes for each chapter. Even when I uploaded the CD and played it on my iPad, it doesn’t give me the total time. What am I missing? :(

    1. I see your point Diana – without the audiobook in a single track the overall time isn’t visible to you. I have the MP3 CD as well so we can work with that.

      If you enter how many minutes into the chapter you are when the words “I was just listening to an audio book,” are said or how many remaining minutes are left in the chapter when they are said I can figure the results that way too. :)
