Jolie Kramer began her career in 1975 as a reader in the Comedy Development department for 20th-Century Fox. She left Fox in 1977 to go on location with THE DEER HUNTER. She then worked as an auditor, associate producer and producer on such projects as WHEN SHE SAYS NO for CBS, BEULAH LAND for NBC, GREAT AMERICAN TRAFFIC JAM for NBC and CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR for Jozak Productions. In 1987 she became head of development for the McCarran Film Corp., overseeing a roster of twelve feature films. As a screen writer, she’s had a series idea purchased by Cinemax, and has worked as a script consultant on more than 50 screenplays. Currently, her screenplay APACHE TEARS was optioned by Northern Lights Productions in Canada.
Jo Leigh's first Silhouette novel, SUSPECT, was awarded BEST FIRST SERIES BOOK by Romantic Times Magazine, garnered the 1994 ROMANCE WRITER OF THE YEAR award from Pike’s Peak RWA, and was a finalist for BEST ROMANTIC SUSPENSE NOVEL OF 1994 by Romance Writers of America. Her first Temptation novel, ONE WICKED NIGHT was a finalist for BEST SHORT CONTEMPORARY NOVEL OF 1998 by Romance Writers of America. She was invited to write one of the launch books for the Harlequin imprint, Blaze, with her book GOING FOR IT! Her 2006 Blaze RELENTLESS was a RITA finalist for BEST ROMANTIC SUSPENSE.
She also ghost-wrote GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL DOLL – THE ANNA NICOLE SMITH STORY for Barricade Books.
Jo teaches writing at workshops across the country and on-line, and is a frequent guest speaker at writing conferences. Her tape on Advanced Plotting from the Dallas Romance Writers of America conference is the best selling tape in RWA’s history.
Jo lives in an incredibly rural area of Utah where her many rescue dogs have room to run and play and her rescue cats are determined to win the International Shedding Award. She spends an inordinate amount of time reading about how the brain works, listening to music and trying not to kill the basil.
Jo's husband died of cancer on 13 June 2008, three years after they married, and whose medical bills are astronomical. Authors, editors, and bloggers have all donated a mess of items, from books to critiques to mentoring sessions to offer an item for the auction to benefit author Jo Leigh.

Yes, even I admit that this cover is gratuitous. But this opposites-attract story was a nice read and the relationship progressed nicely and was sweet. The only glaringly bad thing was the suspense plot, which was completely unnecessary, in my opinion.

This book was DEFINITELY BETTER than the first one. I loved Jake and Rebecca together 🥺 I have a soft spot for blue collared Heroes that's why this book was really a treat.... I loved Rebecca's character so much too. This book was really good altho I wanted more steam 💖🤧

Second of a series of three. Ienjoyed reading this one better than the first - it flowed better throughout the story. I liked Jake - damaged but still sexy excop, complete with toolbelt! I think I liked that he wasn't perfect. Rebecca, the rich socialite running a charity, is the unlikely love interest. Good chemistry between them. I was really looking forward to the urban tourist bit, so will have to read about that separately! I hope the third book ties up some of the loose ends in the back story. Enjoyable part of series.

I read this in spite of the fact that the hero was a cop, but I thought it would be ok because he was retired. But it got into some weird suspense stuff, and there was a lot of vaporizing of police work, and while I know it was published in 2012, I'm just not here for it in 2021. (I wouldn't have been here for it in 2014.)
I've read several other books in this series, and the suspense part was really weird compared to the other books. Meh, not a fan.

I was REALLY liking this book! Then we get to the last few pages and I'm like WTF?! Where is the rest of the book?!?! I felt cheated with the end since there really wasn't one, it was completely unresolved (at least in my opinion). The book was great, very "honeymoon phase", which I loved. Definitely worth a read if you don't mind being left with questions.

Sexy. Fun. Fast paced. Cop injured in the line of duty. Heroine has more money than Trump. Supposed to be a one-night stand, until it wasn't anymore.
What more could you want?
Such a enjoyable read. I'm downloading the next in the series ASAP!
