Heart's Masquerade

by Tressie Lockwood

Every year, Torrian Donnelly attends the community center's Halloween party in his old neighborhood. He's never seen Jazara Crane there. She's beautiful and fun in a sexy kitty costume with a swishing tail, but most of all she's like a ray of sunshine in a gray world. Torrian is drawn to her, and he can't stop going back to where he grew up just to be with her. Even if it means doing volunteer work and having frequent confrontations with his cousin, the man he left behind and who resents him for it. Torrian has lost a lot, but he doesn't belong in South Boston. Nor does he belong in his new world. The only person who gets everything to make sense is Jaz, but can he convince her to stay with him when the masks are removed?

I liked the heroine, she was a breath of fresh air, though she did break her own rule. Hero's dilemma was no big deal. The heroine accused him of trying to hide her -- not true. I would agree if he hadn't taken her on dates that the author mentioned -- so the heroine's argument doesn't hold. Lots of time passed without them seeing each other and it seemed to be no problem for them to pick up where they left off. I would have liked to have known what they'd gotten each other for Christmas and how the meeting of her parents went.

Please ... let's keep it real, I don't know a woman that would allow a man to come to her apartment for months and months without ever going to his place. Nope AND I didn't buy the explanation. As women, we're too damn curious (sometimes for our own good) and when something doesn't add up, we put our detective skills to work to get to the bottom of a situation. LOL

I liked this book, though I did wonder ... what happened to the following people in this story: her ex-boyfriend, his cousin, her best friend, her sister and the chauffeur? They all disappeared from the story. I liked the epilogue -- a lot, though I think they would have locked the door.

This was an enjoyable read.

Liked this book. Kind of short but sweet. Spunky Jaz. Rich man Torrian. Who doesn't realize what he's been missing til he mets Jaz.
