Jeri soon discovers that Hollywood s glamour cloaks a soul-stealing darkness hidden just below its glossy surface.

Alone and conflicted, Jeri must find a way back into the arms of the man she loves.

Jeri, our heroine from Night Jazz, has decided to stay in the past with her husband Lex, instead of following her brother and her fiance back to the future.
Lex has become afflicted with TB and needs to stay in a private sanitarium, which is going to cost a lot of money in the Great Depression era.
Jeri leaves Lex in the private sanitarium in New York and seeks her fortune in California and Hollywood. She starts a very different life than she had ever imagined herself ever living and makes some mistakes that you will have to read about.
Didn't like Jeri in this novel as much as the first one. She seems to have lost her morals a little in this one. But the journey was fun and I hope that Jill Shure continues to right about Jeri's travels throught the past and the future.

I downloaded this one immediately after reading Night Jazz. This was a very good sequel, and I would have given it 5 stars, only I found it quite depressing. I had to keep reading, because I couldn't wait for things to get better. Hey, it was set during the depression, so what did I expect? There were some very uplifting times, too, though.
I loved these two books because they don't follow the usual romance genre format. This is definitely a must read (read Night Jazz first). I was so glad to continue Jeri and Dez' story, as well as others from Night Jazz, and meet all of the new characters introduced in this book. Plus, it does have a good ending, which is a requirement for me!
**spoiler below***
I really wish that she would have been the one to dump Franky, instead of the other way around. Her finding Dez was, indeed, magical, but it was immediately after Franky had dumped her. It made her seem a bit...not sure the word I'm looking for. It wasn't like Dez was just a substitute for Franky. Far from it. We always knew she loved Dez. But I really wanted her to get strong enough to dump Franky on her own and be ready to face life on her own for awhile. Even if the book didn't give her any time on her own before she met up with Dez, I really felt like she needed to wise up to Franky, and be the one to dump him.

Read this book in 2 days I couldn't put it down. Jeri & Lex Rose finally ended up in the 1960's joining her brother. Jeri & Paul came from the 1990's got throw back to the 1930's where Jeri lived for 4 years and met Lex. He got TB and was sick for a year in the 30's then they both got transported to the 60's where he was cured. It was fascinating to see how the world was in the 30's during the Great Depression. They ended up in the 60's which I remember well. The Vietnam war, the 3 assasinations, mini shirts and the
Beatles. Lupe & Franky never got their movies as Lupe's father died. Jeri's cousin that owned the brothel got killed in a car acident in 1935. Loved this book. Her next book is the Night Cap which isn't on Kindle and I have to read her Clause book when I decide to pay $5.00.
