Someone wants a secret to stay buried—even if it means murder.
Since waking up in a hospital at age eighteen, accused of driving the car that killed his best friend, Jazz McNeil has lived with a guilty heart. Now, more than a decade later, he has returned to his hometown to raise his daughter and to uncover the truth about what happened that fateful summer. And gaze into the eyes of the girl whose life he shattered.
Though Anne-Marie Kincaid was told that Jazz was responsible for her brother’s death all those years ago, she has never quite believed it. The facts don’t quite fit; they never did. All she knows is, she still feels loved and safe when she’s with Jazz, and that he misses her brother just as much as she.
This novel has been previously published, but has been revised and expanded.
If you like reunion stories and stories about vindication, then "For the Love of Jazz" by Shiloh Walker will thrill you. She's one of those authors that I can't help but read and enjoy. Even when I think I know where the plot is going, there's always a twist that surprises me. And WOW can this author writes some seriously smoking love scenes.
Jazz has returned to the small town where he grew up looking for answers. When he left over ten years ago, he was accused of accidentally killing the town's 'golden boy', his best friend. His troubled childhood made the story so believable, no one questioned it...but he's never been able to remember the accident and he's determined to get to the bottom of it.
Anne-Marie was the one person who always believed in Jazz's innocence. Jazz was always the one for her and now that he's back, even with the chip on his shoulder, she doesn't plan to hide the way she's always felt.
There were a couple of things that bothered me about this story. Jazz's daughter really didn't play much of a part in it and that bugged me. For the kind of guy he is, his daughter should have been a main character (in my opinion). And the other thing was the way that nobody questioned the accident all those years ago. But I guess if they had, the book would have been really short :)
I was surprised by the 'bad guy' and that doesn't happen often, so I really liked that. And the love between the main characters was so touching, and very passionate, and I certainly loved that. Even with the bumps and knocks, this is a story I'll likely read again so it's heading for my keeper shelf!
