Jessie Warner couldn't accept that her husband Tommy's death was an accident. It had been seven months since his untimely death, and the answers everyone provided didn't make sense to her. There was something wrong with the circumstances surrounding his death, and she wasn't going to give up until she knew the truth. She was miserable, and had pulled away from everyone she was close to with the exception of her best childhood friend Todd. He wouldn't let her, and practically had to force her to get out and live again. He dragged her to a party where he promised she wouldn't have to worry about any male attention because it was known among friends as Gay Fest. Jess let herself go there, and actually found herself having a good time with the only straight man at the party, Caleb James.

Jess found herself caring more than she thought possible for Caleb, but she couldn't let Tommy's death go unavenged. She owed his memory closure. When the past threatened her future, she wasn't sure she would have the opportunity to find out what was possible with Caleb.

This was tragic heart wrenching story with love, laughter, and passion. Jessie had to deal with more heartache than she was capable of carrying alone. Caleb was exactly the person she needed in her life. He provided the love and stability she was so desperately missing. A good balanced story that will have an impact!!

While I had a few issues with this book, including the mystery of the villain's identity being weak, overall, I really enjoyed this emotional story. I'd love to see stories about other characters introduced here, but I haven't seen anything about this being a series. I am, however, looking forward to reading more from this author.

Jessie has suffered through a lot. He husband dies, she was mugged, her apartment was broken into and then she got a death threat. Along the way she meant Calob. A doctor who's taken with her the second he sees her. Believing her husband was murdered and his death wasn't an accident she's determined to find out the truth which keeps her from having a life with Calob. He was a great character. Kind, giving, sexy.

This was a great book. There's romance, mystery, heartache, and a little sex. It makes you want to cry, but also hold of for hope that everything will work out. Certainly a good read.

The circumstances in which the two people meet, are beleivable. But so much after the beginning of the book is UNbeleivable. The "mystery" behing her husband's death and what she does as a result. The character progression throughout the book was frustrating because it didn't seem realistic. Even given that, if the intimate scenes were good, it would be forgiveable, but they were just average. If you want a slightly far fetched love story, you may like it.

Read this on my Kindle DX and really enjoyed it. It has little suspense in it to make it more exciting. Looking for more books from Mari Carr.
