Korte biografie
Michele Albert/Michelle Jerott's very first romances she ever read, way back in high school, were Kathleen Woodiwiss's "The Flame and the Flower" and "The Wolf and the Dove" (published by Avon in the mid-70s). She said: "I fell in love with Heather and Brandon, Wulfgar and Aislinn--and have been hooked on romances ever since. I like nothing better than to curl up with a good book and a hot cup of coffee, and romances will always be my books of choice. Unlike some authors, I didn't come out of the womb wanting to write books. In fact, from about the age of 14, I wanted to be an archaeologist."

Michele graduated with a classical archaeology degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and even attended a summer program at University of London's Institute of Archaeology. She remembered: "My first dig, in high school, was a Mississippian Indian site not far from Terre Haute, Indiana, and my last was a Roman fort outside Newcastle in Great Britain. There, standing up to my knees in mud and swinging a pick ax, I decided that maybe archaeology wasn't my calling in life, after all. A career fast track was fine and dandy, but I wanted to take the scenic route through my own life instead. So, I had a baby and eventually went to work in a research lab, which allowed me time to write. When I sat down to write my first story, I had no doubt it would be a romance. As a kid, I was disappointed that girl oriented stories rarely had the same sort of fun, excitement or dangerous adventures as the boy oriented stories. Consequently, I re-wrote a lot of those books in my head. As I grew older, I discovered the books I liked to read (and write) were those in which the heroine has all sorts of fun and excitement... and yes, even adventures, dangerous or otherwise. On July 31, 1997, after three years of writing and shopping my manuscripts around, I sold my first book to Avon. A couple days later, I won the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award for that same book, an award given to manuscripts written by unpublished writers. All in all, 1997 was an exciting year! Becoming a published writer has been a long-time goal, and I'm so excited to have this chance to make my dream come true. More importantly, I hope to share with you, through my characters and their stories, a little magic, a little fun, and a whole lot of romance!"

She wrote her four books under her pen name, Michelle Jerott, and later she used her real name Michele Albert to continued a series that started with "Absolute Trouble", her debut novel. Her novels: "Her Bodyguard" and "Getting Her Man" were both nominated for Best Mainstream Novel by Romantic Times and "Off Limits" appeared on the Waldenbook's National Bestseller List. Romantic Times also nominated "Her Last Chance" for Best Romantic Suspense Novel.

Michele lives with her husband and two lazy cats in a small town outside Madison, Wisconsin.

First off, the sensuality of this book is top notch super steamy stuff. It is just pretty dang hot. The characters easy sparks and banter make this book all the more hot. The characters are well defined and developed. The plot flowed at a nice pace everything works perfectly well together. This book is pretty much perfect. I gave it a four out of a five just because the story line isn't really my type of thing, since it is myself giving the ratings. I liked it, you should definitely check it out!… (meer)

Overall Rating: 4.45 // Action: 3.5 / Emotion: 3.5 / Romance: 4.0 / Sensuous: 3.75 / Suspense: 4.0 // Laughter: 0 / Tears: 1

Her Last Chance: 4.45:
There is something about the way that Michele Albert writes, that appeals to the reader in me. Therefore, it is not surprising that I would readily recommend Her Last Chance as an enjoyable, intriguing, sensual book to read.

Hero: 3.5:
Vincent DeLuca: It was easy to like this handsome, arrogant, incorruptible, dedicated FBI Agent. Vincent came from a big Italian family background that made him feel like the sexy man next door, who was so obsessive about everyone following the rules, that he developed an intense dislike of Avalon and its mercenaries.

Heroine: 3.5:
Claudia Cruz: Albert did such a great job of developing Claudia's personality and background that she enabled even an old prude to come to accept Claudia in her different-ness. Claudia's bold, blunt use of "sex fu" took a bit of getting used to, but once you accepted her blatant use of sex appeal in her mannerisms, dress and dialogue, she was a likeable heroine who experienced the same insecurities about herself and her man as any other woman (be they frumpy or svelte).

Story Line: 4.0:
This story had a police procedural feeling to it as Vincent and Claudia began their respective investigations into a rash of art and antiquities thefts in numerous small galleries in the area. Albert kept readers wondering who was behind these thefts as Vincent and Claudia tried to out-maneuver each other until they finally decided to work together. Additionally, Albert really drew readers into the idea of this book being part of a series as she further developed the reason Ben Sheridan had Will Tiernay investigating a cold case that played a huge role regarding the background of Avalon Investigations.

Action: 3.5:
Although not filled with exciting 'wild, wild west' kind of action and adventure, this story moved along at a strong steady pace as Vincent and Claudia search for the person(s) who were robbing small galleries. It was particularly entertaining because Vincent and Claudia also tried to put obstacles in the other's path as they pursued their own investigation.

Emotion: 3.5:
Albert excels at developing characters that work their way into your heart. Although there was not a great depth to the emotional connection one felt with Vincent and Claudia, the engagement was, nevertheless, constantly present.

Romance: 4.0:
If Albert excelled at one thing in this book, it was revealing the sexual chemistry and heat that flowed between Claudia and Vincent. Even though Vincent and Claudia fought like cats and dogs when they first meet at the Alliance Gallery crime scene four months ago, the attraction was mutual and instant, even though both of them tried to ignore it's pull.

Sensuous: 3.75:
Since Claudia was such a sexual creature, it stands to reason that when she finally decides to hook up with Vincent their lovemaking would be hot and spicy and have that special sizzle that means the author has written an outstanding love scene. During the entire book Claudia was as unashamedly aware and desirous of Vincent as he was of her.

Suspense: 4.0:
Albert did not entertain readers with the kind of nail-biting suspense one usually finds in a Romantic Suspense novel, but she did keep readers glued to the pages to see what was going to happen next.

Secondary Characters: 4.5:
Albert did an excellent job of continuing to develop the personalities of secondary characters that were introduced in previous books of this series. Cannot help but want to know so much more about Ben Sheridan, Ellie, Shaunda, Russ Noble, and other members of the Avalon Investigations firm as well as wondering what is going to happen with Rainert von Lahr and Vanessa Sharpton.
