 4.5 stars 
 I fell in love with Jazz in Lora Leigh's Loving Lies, which came out in 2006 and have been waiting for his story ever since. In the author's new book, Wicked Lies, we finally have Jazz's story. 
 He's a little harder in the newer book, but he's still an overprotective, caring lover, and solid friend. 
 At the end of Loving Lies, he's attracted to new schoolteacher Annie, who appears to be terrified of him. 
 Enter Wicked Lies and we learn that Annie is actually Kennie Maddox, the spoiled darling of her family, believed to have died with her mother in an attack during a visit to New York. In the intervening ten years, she has changed her identity and stayed on the run, because there have been a number of attacks since the original, and the uncle who saved her died in one of them. After coloring her hair and putting in colored contacts, she returns to her home town, hoping to find who gave the order to kill her mother and try to kill her. This is probably the weakest part of the book-a hair color change and contacts are not going to change someone's basic looks to the point her family and lover don't recognize her. 
 Kennie has been in love with Jazz since she was 16, but is terrified that telling him who she is could endanger him. She has learned to survive and wall off her emotions, but Jazz won't let continue running. Can her relationship with Jazz withstand the knowledge she didn't die? And can she find out the monster who killed her mother and ordered her death? 
 This was a thoroughly enjoyable read, with a strong hero and heroine, lots of suspense, some sizzling sex scenes, and a cast of interesting secondary characters. I would have liked to have seen more of the mischievous but loyal Jazz from the first book., but I'm looking forward to the next book in this series, and am hoping it won't be another 11 years before we read it.
