Hotel Marchand #5
Amor a ritmo de jazz
Sabía que arriesgaba mucho al decir la verdad, pero tendría que hacerlo…
Lo primero que vio el ejecutivo Parker James nada más entrar al bar del hotel después de una frustrante reunión de negocios fue a la bella mujer que había cantado en su boda diez años atrás.
Holly Carlyle no había olvidado aquel trabajo. Pocas horas antes de que los novios pronunciaran sus votos, había descubierto a la novia haciendo el amor con alguien que no era Parker.
Hacía ya tiempo que el matrimonio se había roto y Parker estaba preparado para pasar página… con Holly. El jazz que tanto les gustaba a ambos los unió, pero la ex esposa de Parker amenazó con chantajear a Holly para separarlos si ella no callaba. Sin embargo, Holly sabía que había guardado el secreto durante demasiado tiempo…

The book started off pretty good. I really liked the New Orleans setting and that the heroine, Holly, was a jazz singer and the hero, Parker, was opening a jazz club. About halfway into the book Parker turned into a real jerk. After Parker and Holly had sex, Parker noticed that his condom was torn, so he therefore accused Holly of sabotaging the condoms so that they would break and she might get pregnant, and therefore get money off of him. From that point on, at every turn Parker never trusted Holly and always believed the worst of her, continually accusing her of things she didn’t do. Parker was the one who kept pursuing Holly throughout the story, yet he blamed Holly for going after him for his money and treated her like a gold-digger. He came off as a complete ass and a loser and I didn’t believe his sudden declaration of love at the end. I have no idea why Holly even loved him or wanted him. She should have told him to get lost. He had way too many trust issues stemming from his failed marriage that he obviously still needed to get past.
