Hotshot
Sara Weston, Kapten Angkatan Udara, membutuhkan dengan segera tenaga seorang pilot untuk program penjaringan calon taruna angkatan udara. Dia pun menemukan kandidat yang sempurna. Pilot top Luke Carnes memenuhi kualifikasi, karismatik, dan siap melakukannya.
Masalah #1—laki-laki itu benar-benar tampan dan seksi.
Masalah #2—dia pernah membuat Sara patah hati bertahun-tahun yang lalu…
Akan tetapi, Sara harus tetap profesional. Asalkan dirinya tidak berdekatan dengan Luke. Tidak pernah dalam jangkauan tatapan laki-laki itu. Dan tidak pernah berada di ranjangnya. Sayangnya, "tidak pernah" itu bukanlah waktu yang lama…

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.

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.

Review for HOTSHOT only
I enjoyed Hotshot.
Sara and Luke were together for five years and Sara thought they were in love but the day they graduated from the Air Force academy he ended it with her and walked away, Sara was devastated at his cruelty.
Seven years later, Sara is organzing recruitment drives and is a short of a fighter-pilot when in walks Luke, and she isn't happy to see him. She tells him he can stay but not for long, till she finds a replacement. The thing is I didn't like Luke but you have to give him points for persistence, he was cocky and egoistic and wrong and one bad experience in war zone made him see that and how he hurt Sara. He wanted all the glory and women that came with it so he ended it with Sara.
Even though Sara doesn't give him the time of the day, he knows he owes her and he is paying her back and he also knows that he has to apologize. What I liked was Luke realized first that Sara was the one for him and that he may never get a shot with her again especially when he tells her what was going on in his mind when he ended things with her. He was a jerk and for a long time Sara doesn't see the change in him, his new found humility in life, his remorse and regard for people other than him.
I liked Sara, how she had been hurt and thought about herself and not giving Luke an easy time of it. She was professional and walked away from him even when she got the chemistry signals from him. I like the hero being in a un-certain place and this book had that.

The stories were cute, but I had a hard time getting into them.

Alkisah dua sejoli memadu kasih sedari abg selama lima tahun dan sang lelaki memutuskan sang wanita begitu saja begitu mereka lulus dari SMA. Ini menimbulkan sakit hati mendalam. Sang wanita tidak bisa move on dan sang lelaki meniti karir yang gemilang, tiba-tiba saja sang lelaki ini menyelinap lagi ke kehidupannya dengan kedok membantu misi pekerjaan sang wanita. Ya, mereka adalah sama-sama perwira di angkatan udara yang melayani kepentingan negara. Tugas harus diutamakan. Namun, seiring waktu banyak hal terungkap mengenai masa lalu yang belum selesai dan ada perasaan lama yang bersemi kembali di sini kisahnya berjalan.
Sepanjang cerita sampai pertengahan jalannya flat saja secara umum. Sara dan Luke memiliki pandangan sendiri namun masih menyembunyikan motif masing-masing. Ceritanya mulai menarik saat mendekati ending dan saya menyayangkan jika saja novel ini semenarik endingnya sedari awal mungkin penilaian saya akan lebih baik. Dan juga terjemahannya agak memusingkan sangat disayangkan juga..

Amazing!

The first story in this book about Captain Luke was a fun read. Loved the struggle of the characters to accept their love for each other. But it was the second story in this book that I really enjoyed between Chase and Dr. Jamie. It was sweet and passionate and I loved how bit all came together.

Hotshot was a good book, but I must say Going For It the Bonus Story Inside was great. Going For It is a book no one should miss.

They were both good reads, I enjoyed Going For It much better though as it had some funny moments in it, not so much for Hotshot.

The first book was good; the second was just plain ridiculous.
