When Julian St. Sauveur, described in Architectural Digest as the "Rock Star of the Architectural World" was seated beside the bohemian woman on his flight to Paris, he never would have conceived how events would unfold...how this young widow would capture his mind, heart and soul so quickly and completely. She was a force of nature and his equal in every way — passion, anger, joy and just plain silliness.Jazzmyne Mickelson took off on a journey of self- exploration and was likewise thrown off balance by the beautiful and urbane man who sat beside her. He is curious, inappropriate and completely proprietary...she is fascinated, responsively inappropriate and swept off her feet.She is nave and overwhelmed, thrilled and frightened in his presence. He is thinking he has found his greatest desires. Barely begun, and tenuously fresh, Jazz and Julian's relationship is tested by each other and the spectre of Julian's burgeoning fame which accosts them at every turn resulting in deceit and terror.Will they find a way through the obstacles together and stronger or will they be torn apart, broken beyond repair?**Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content and language.I enjoyed this book . I am glad that this book picked up exactly where the first one left off. I felt like Jazz and Julian starting to grow more as a couple. Even though Julian and Jazz wanted to entertain the idea of an open relationship, they changed their minds after an intimate encounter which included adding another person into their bed for a fantasy that Jazz had.The book flowed really well. I know it takes place in Paris but I didn’t care for the few times people were speaking French. Those times I had no idea what they were saying. It was sort of explained in a minimal version when the main characters were talking with each other. This book also ended in that you will want to know what happens between the two main characters
