More About the Author

Writing has always been my passion, and fortunately, I never run short of ideas. As a result, my ninety novels cover a wide array of genres, including Regency romance, fantasy, romantic comedy, romantic intrigue and mystery.

My latest project has been reediting, updating and in some cases rewriting my earlier books. It's a thrill to bring books back into "print," so to speak. These include a dozen traditional Regency romances. A Lady's Point of View is priced at 99 cents for Kindle, with the others at $2.99. My contemporary romantic comedies include Old Dreams, New Dreams (also 99 cents), and I've also issued my mystery Danger Music, originally published in hardcover by Five Star, for that low introductory price.

My classic fantasy Shadowlight, my supernatural thriller Echoes, my paranormal romance Touch Me in the Dark and my mystery The Eyes of a Stranger are now available for Kindle at only $2.99.

Currently I write for Harlequin American Romance. My miniseries, Safe Harbor Medical, is set in a fertility medical center in Southern California. Although each book stands alone, there are continuing characters. The first book in the series is The Would-Be Mommy.

I'm also an active member of Romance Writers of America and formerly served on the national board as well as the board of the Orange County, Calif., chapter.

I frequently update my website, www.jacquelinediamond.com, which includes news of my latest books along with tips for aspiring writers. On the Books page, you'll find a list of my Kindle reissues in the righthand column.

I post writing tips and interesting oddments from zombie sightings to Regency reference on Twitter. You can follow me @jacquediamond. Thanks!

2.0 out of 5 stars In love with the boss, and pregnant with his baby!, October 2, 2004

This review is from: Diagnosis: Expecting Boss's Baby: The Babies of Doctors Circle (Harlequin American Romance, No 962) (Mass Market Paperback)

Natalie Winford, divorcee and secretary for the head of an infertility clinic, became pregnant after she spent one wild night on her boss's yacht. Stunned, Natalie doesn't know how to tell him. She loves her boss, but she is sure that he doesn't feel the same way. Her greatest fears are that he will offer her a marriage of convenience for the baby's sake - or he will send her a support check every month, but will write her and the child out of his life for good. So Natalie decides to keep her little secret, and that's not the only secret she's keeping!

Doctor Patrick Barr is very attracted to his secretary, even though she shows no inclination to repeat the passionate night they shared together on his yacht. She seems withdrawn since their experience, not like the bubbly person she had once been. Once he accidentally discovers she's pregnant, his immediate thought is that the baby is his, although she denies it. So, thinking that she is carrying another man's child, will he find that he loves her enough to accept her and the child that isn't his...or will he let them walk out of his life?

I didn't like the character of Natalie at all. She didn't even have the decency to tell Patrick that she was pregnant, and when he did find out, she deliberately let him think that the child was her ex-husband's, not his! And then she wondered why Patrick wasn't asking her to marry him! Well, let's think this one out. Patrick thinks that, not only is Natalie pregnant with another man's baby, but she was sleeping with two different guys during the same time period and doesn't bother to tell either about the other.

The worst part about the whole book was, Natalie was just going to pretend the baby wasn't Patrick's and never give him the opportunity to know that he had a child, never give him the opportunity to spend time with the child, and never give him the opportunity to help raise his child. That's just sick. If a man is the father of your baby, and he is a good man and would love to be an active part of the child's life, how can you deny him and your child that? My daughter would LOVE to have a father who cared anything for her! So I felt absolutely no sympathy for Natalie.

This book was a real chore to read. I ended up gritting my teeth and wanting to throttle the heroine. I won't be reading any of the other books in "The Babies of Doctors Circle" series, and most definitely won't be reading this book again, either. If you're looking for a good book to read - skip this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very memorable., April 10, 2006

This review is from: Diagnosis: Expecting Boss's Baby: The Babies of Doctors Circle (Harlequin American Romance, No 962) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this little more than a week ago and I can barely remember anything about it. Its a fertility clinic where most of the female employees seem to be overly (plot devicey) fertile.

The relationship between our hero and heroine is rather sweet, as he can be a cantakerous work-a-holic, and she is his devoted personal assistant. (the assisting got really personal, hence the title)

There are some pretty steamy scenes, that usually end abruptly because he puts his foot in his mouth.

I'd reccomend it for a bit of pointless fluff, but it isn't the best I've ever read.
