Absolutely brilliant story about love lost and regained, no punches pulled. Wonderful background of music.
This is definitely an author I would look up again. I truly enjoyed the flow of the story.
Loved it - love the Jazz, the partner's death, the neighbor, the locale of Carmel by the Sea - loved it.
This book was much better than her debut one and if Julie Blair can improve so much with only two book I will wait impatiently for her 3rd one. Really good job! I have nothing to say because the book have offered me all I want: a good solid plot that make sense and give away so much in the feelings department that one can only empathize with the protagonists. And also if it was not a original story it was fresh enough to old my interest from cover to cover. Definitely one of the best read this year and so it deserved a perfect score.
A little slow placed but overall well written romance. Very likeable MC's, both vulnerable and finding their way to love.
