One of Donna Michaels' strengths as a writer of popular fiction (and she has many!) is her ability to make characters leap off the page in compelling scenes that are both believable and contemporary. She has a gift, too, for snappy, authentic dialogue -- I often felt that I was watching and hearing this book rather than reading it. The pace is fast, the action is intense, and the plot held my interest.As Brielle Chapman and Jack Anderson collide in a couple of intriguing and wonderfully weird encounters early in "She Does Know Jack," neither of them really knowing who the other is, I felt the chemistry was definitely there between them. As someone who has an abiding interest in social problems of the ex-military, I found that this story delved credibly into the sometimes difficult quandaries that arise when professional demands get in the way of deeply felt sexual needs. Donna Michaels explores this in a way that sustained my interest and took me places I didn't expect to go. I don't know if Michaels has ever actually worked in police or corporate security, but her writing on these subjects rings true to me, in a way that told me something new. She has either lived it herself or done her homework.Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed, and you may well find that you're spending more time than you should, in future months, engrossed in her dozen or so previous books.
