- 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. - Ontwarringsbericht

Former police detective turned private investigator, Lisa McCabe, is hired to do a background check on Dr. Daniel Cassidy. To do so, she poses as a volunteer at his clinic. Unfortunately, the attraction between Lisa and Daniel is instantaneous, and Lisa finds it difficult to remain professional when it comes to the sexy doctor.
This is a great book right up until the last few chapters when the keeping secrets trope rears its ugly head.
Lisa and Daniel are both likable characters, and their chemistry is scorching. Jo Leigh certainly knows how to write a sizzling sex scene.
The character backgrounds are well developed and interesting although it would have been even better if the details of Lisa's past had been revealed earlier in the story.
The biggest issue with the plot is the secret that Lisa is a private investigator. She has several opportunities to reveal the truth, but constantly finds excuses. Waiting for the other shoe to drop is seriously annoying and undermines the romance.
Despite this, the book is enjoyable, and I will probably go back and read the earlier installments in the series as the trading cards premise is intriguing.… (meer)
