Jason Greene is a successful lawyer in Philadelphia when he finds out his fiancee has cheated on him. He calls off the wedding and decides to spend two months in Paris at his sister's apartment for a much needed break. While there, he befriends a struggling but talented jazz violinist, Jules Bardin, and offers him a place to stay. As they get to know each other, they find that they have little in common except for a passion for music. Jason grew up in a happy family with money while Jules' mother was a druggie who neglected her children. But Jason's confident appearance hides inner turmoil and anxiety about his life, and only Jules can help him through it. This was a lovely, well-written story of two very opposite men brought together by their love of music and quests for something more out of life. Paris and Grenoble figure prominently in the story with plenty of French terms thrown in. This is the first time I've read this author, and she must be a musician by the sensitive way she writes about performing. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series. 242 pages (Kindle edition).
