Want Me
Trading Card: Nate Brenner
Occupation: Humanitarian architect.
Marry, date or one-night stand: Definitely a one-night stand!

Bottom line: Gorgeous, good soul…and he can melt the panties right off a girl!
Shannon Fitzgerald created the New York Hot Guys Trading Cards—a private "man swap" for her single friends. Still, she has yet to find the "perfect card"…until she sees Nate Brenner for the first time in years. He's hot. He's tasty. And now Shannon wants him all for herself.
Unfortunately, the Nate Brenner card is in another girl's hands. Now Shannon is torn between accepting the hand she was dealt, or making a play for sexy Nate—and losing the clothes off her back, one tantalizing item at a time!

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this book, until I got to the end. Jo Leigh is a great author, I think she really gives depth to her characters but for some reason it seems that her conclusions just SUCK. Every time I read one of her books I feel like I need one more chapter to tie things up. The ending just seems so rushed an incomplete to me. What happened to Daphne? Did she have any repercussions? She should have. What about the news anchor? In one sentence we hear he apologized, is that all? I want to know if he got sued!! It's a great read if you don't mind a choppy ending.

I liked so much about this couple. But there was something super problematic about the way the heroine's family business handled financial difficulties. Apparently before the book started they "were forced" to cut their employees' health insurance, which feels rather unforgivable to me. Apparently it was that or just close completely, so somehow they felt justified because at least they still had jobs?
Also I'm not a big fan of the best friend's sister trope, because it's just nasty patriarchal BS. But this story was more about how the two main characters felt about the fact that they'd known each other as children and now they were very very attracted to each other, and that was quite palatable for me.
There was a time in the middle where I was very unimpressed, but everything ended up resolving pretty well— except for the health insurance situation of the employees.

(4.5 stars really)I found this book very enjoyable and it was definitely not necessary to read in order since i havent read the other 2 at all. i started this book in an extremely foul mood and was pleased to find that by the end of it my mood was lifted. shannon is sucha lovable character and who has never wanted a man like nate. The plot line was pleasantly developed something rare for a harlequin romance and the romance itself was sweet if a little fast. i like others agree that it would have been nice to see what happened with daphne but overall i was pleased with the ending. i mostly im deducting for the severely unattractive man on the cover more so than the story itself lol. Overall a really great way to pass a couple hours

A light hearted read, completing a trilogy. I enjoyed this book the best of the three. It deals with Shannon, who invented the trading cards for dates that the series centres around. She is workaholic, trying to save her family firm. She meets Nate, an old family friend, again after many years - sparks fly, dates are had, sex is hot. After a nasty outng of the cards, Shannon's friends and family rally round. I did want to know what happened with dastardly Daphne and the questions from book two were never answered, but overall a good book and series.

A quick read with memorable characters. Loved, loved, loved the heroine, Shannon, and her family.

Avoided a Big Misunderstanding! So exciting! I mean, there were still misunderstandings, don't get me wrong. But people didn't act illogically for the sake of more pages!
