Midnight Blue

Author: LJ Shen

Release Date: January 18th

It should have been easy.

I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.

I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.

The worst part is that I should have known better.

Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.

“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”

Sounds familiar? That’s because it was a headline in a tabloid the second time he got arrested.

Guess what? I didn’t listen.

I signed the contract.

World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.

My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.

Then he took my heart.

Then he took my all.

Excerpt:

Nat’s words came back and haunted me like a bad haircut from the eighties. An irrational need to check the goods took over me. It wasn’t like he minded. According to the rumors, his dick had seen more cameras than Kendall Jenner. Slowly—so painfully slowly—my eyes drifted down his sinewy body. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Whatever I had in mind, though, didn’t come close to the real thing. Thick, long but not atrocious. With thin veins running through its length. “Nice view?” he groaned, tucking his junk back into his briefs. His profile was glorious. Strong jaw, pouty lips, eyes like sex… My eyes snapped up when I realized he was talking to me. “I wasn’t…” “Looking? Yes, you were. Next time take a picture. It lasts longer.” He rolled his zipper upward and flushed the toilet with the toe of his boot. He turned around and squirted soap into his palm, washing his hands almost violently—rubbing between each finger and scratching his knuckles like he wanted to shed his own skin. When he was done, he looked around for a towel. I cleared my throat, scrambling to regain my wits. “Longer than the glimpse or longer than your performance?” Casually—so unbearably casually—he wiped his wet hands over my purple dress. I gasped, moving sideways. It looked like he was about to open the door and get out, but before I had the chance to yell at him for using me as a human towel, he slammed me against the wall, bracing both his arms above my head and pinning me to my spot. I let out a shriek of surprise at the sudden proximity. Alex Winslow is touching me. Willingly, my surprisingly pitiful brain squealed. Heat rolled off his body, making my back arch and my breath catch in my throat. “Let’s make one thing clear—I could fuck you to a point of numbness without even breaking a sweat if I wanted to. Now, careful, New Girl. If you don’t keep your distance from me, I think I just might.”

REVIEW

Midnight Blue is not at all your usual Rockstar Romance, there's a greater depth to the characters and their story than one would expect from the usual. Alex and Indie sucked me in from the first pages, delivering me a story told in such beautiful words that left me feeling everything.

Alex is in most ways your typical naughty rockstar. He likes the drugs, the parties, the popularity - but he also holds some serious issues. He can barely keep it together most days, hell bent on destroying who he perceives as his enemies and also his own life in turn - all over a woman from the past. But there's so much more to Alex - and even in his jerkish ways - I wanted to know him better, I wanted to see if he could find happiness or change his set in ways.

Indie is in a crap position herself, desperate to help her family - brother, sister in law and most importantly her nephew, she needs money. When she's offered the job to basically babysit the angry rock star - she takes it because it will bring her more than enough money. Desperate times and all that, but Indie doesn't really know what to expect. She's not at all prepared for life on the road with Alex.

To say Indie and Alex mix like oil and water is an understatement - they couldn't be more different and yet there's just something about the two of them that really works. This story offered an in-depth, up close look at all the broken parts of these two characters and then showed us how they fit together with each other. They were the perfect balm to the other's soul. I really loved how the author pulled us in to the story, delivering us with the hurts and the pains and the knowledge of what led each of these characters to this place in life and then slowly built up something between them that was unexpected, raw, and utterly beautiful.

If you've never read an LJ Shen story before, you won't be disappointed to pick this one up. The story is told through her carefully crafted words, with amazing skill. Ripping into your heart and your head, keeping you hooked while feeling every little thing for these characters from pain and hurt, to wanting to comfort them, to wanting to smack them and everything else. While some actions will drive you absolutely crazy - you'll be unable to let go of the affection you've felt as well.
