Hello everyone,
I’m author Donna Michaels and I love to write Romance through the H’s–Hot, Humorous & Heartwarming. I am so thrilled to be here today to pay homage to military Heroes and Heroines, past, present and future. Their sacrifices, and those of their families are very much appreciated.
My husband has been full time military for the past 16 years, and a part time citizen soldier for over 30 years. Yes, he’s in the Army National Guard. He has been since I was a senior in high school. Michael started out as a Scout in the infantry and is now the active duty Battalion S4. Today is actually his birthday. And how is he spending it? Why, at annual training of course. lol Anyone remotely related to the military knows how that goes. Uncle Sam plays no favorites, in fact, he often intrudes on family gatherings and such. But we suck it up, roll with it and move on. I’m so very happy to be blogging about the military on his birthday.
Most of my books have a military protagonist, sometimes more than one. My latest release SHE DOES KNOW JACK is a romantic comedy suspense, and the hero is a former Army Ranger pr0viding security for a reality ‘bachelor’ type TV show.
BLURB:
Security specialist, Brielle Chapman reluctantly agrees to help her uncle by going undercover as a contestant on the Meet Your Mate reality show. Having nearly failed on a similar assignment, she needs to prove she still has a future in the business. But her job becomes harder when the brother of the groom turns out to be Dodger, the only one-nighter she ever had and back when she’d been in disguise from a prior undercover case. Will he recognize her? And how can she investigate with this sizzling attraction fogging her brain?
Former Army Ranger Captain Jack “Dodger’ Anderson would rather run naked through a minefield in the Afghan desert than participate in a reality television show, but when his groom brother begins to receive threats, Jack quickly becomes his sibling’s shadow. As if the investigation isn’t baffling enough, now he has to contend with the addition of a beautiful and vaguely familiar new contestant.
But when deceits come to light and the case takes a heart-stopping turn, Meet Your Mate becomes a whole other kind of reality for both of them.
(*Previously released as Meet Your Mate. Revamped with over 22k words added. Heat level upped to Hot)
“Very funny, Ms. Bennett.” Plastering on a fake smile, he shrugged out of his jacket, then tossed it aside. The room had suddenly gotten very warm. “I’d like to know more about you and why you’re on this show.”
One of her perfect eyebrows rose above a derisive glance.
“I thought that was obvious. Your parents picked me.”
“No, I mean, why did you apply for the show in the first place?” He leaned against the chair across from her and waited.
Her gaze shot to the ever-present cameraman, then back to him before she shrugged. “For the same reasons the other contestants did, I guess.”
“And what would that be?”
She rolled her eyes. “To meet your brother.”
“You knew Matthew was going to be on here?” He watched her fidget and shift in her seat. Everything inside him stilled. She was about to lie.
“Of course not. But I had hoped the groom would be someone I’m compatible with.”
“And is he?”
She snorted. “Gee, Jack, I wouldn’t know. I seem to be spending more time with you than your brother.”
“Does that bother you?”
Damn! The question was out before he’d had the chance to swallow it down.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my former Army Ranger. I hope you have as much fun reading his story as I did writing it.
And, as always, thanks for reading,
~Donna
