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.”

Virginia’s Review

You can tell that LJ Shen poured her heart and soul into Midnight Blue. Midnight Blue is fantastic.

This is the story of Alex and Indigo. Alex is British rockstar who is broody, hot, broken, has a sharp tongue, cruel, and cold. Indie is the sweet girl trying to help her family. Together they have passion, such passion, but they also have a ton of turmoil and angst. Can they save each other? Or will they end up destroying each other?

Midnight Blue is an addictive page turner that is very well written. Not only is it very descriptive, but LJ nailed the British part. One would think she was British if they didn’t know better.

Midnight Blue is not a light and fluffy read by any means. I found it to be heavy and emotional, not one to be rushed. It’s raw and beautiful and I couldn’t stop reading. And when I did I absorbed every beautiful word. It’s an emotional roller-coaster and so worth the ride.

Full of angst, drama, hot as hell sex, and emotion, Midnight Blue gets all the stars!

An arc was provided for an honest review.

 

Renee’s Five Star Review 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Indie’s new job should have been easy. She needed the money. Alex needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death. I was picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent. The worst part is that she should have known better. Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes. She didn’t listen when she would told not to get near the devil in a leather jacket. He will chew you up and spit you out. She signed the contract. World tour. Three months, four continents, one hundred shows. Indigo Bellamy sold her sold to a tattooed god. Problem was her soul wasn’t enough for Alex. He ended up taking her body too. Then he took her heart. Then he too her all.
Well I will say first that I was not a huge fan of Alex in the beginning. He is such a jerk that I wanted to slap himself at times. I know he is the rock star, but he could treat people with respect and decency. He is not nice to Indie and you will hate him for this. Just as much as you do. You see, Alex is fresh out of rehab and coming off his worst album and tour ever. Also he made a huge scene at the Grammy’s over his ex Fallon and his ex best friend will and he carries his plan to take her away from him and humiliate and hurt him in the palm of his hand for anyone to see. Indie has lost her parents and is living with her brother, sister in law and nephew. They are all she has in the world and they desperately need money. Indie is so desperate she takes the job as Alex Winslow’s sober companion. Her job is to keep him away from drugs and alcohol and he hates her from the minute he sees her and vow to make her life miserable and getting her to quit. However when his drummer Lucas starts to show interest in Indie, Alex is not having it and is focused on something way back in the past and sees a way to get back at Lucas. What he doesn’t count on is that he might just start to have real feelings for Indie. However when your entire life is handled by other people and your so famous it ins’t even funny you probably are so mixed up. As the book goes on you begin to understand Alex more and then I was so hooked on this book I could not put it down. There is drama, angst, passion and rock and roll in this book. I sincerely enjoyed it. I will say that I sure didn’t see the twist coming and nearly fell off my couch. My mind had not even gone in that direction at all while I was reading.
I you love rock star romances or enemies to lovers books, you do not want to miss Midnight Blue. It truly is an amazing story and it is one I am glad I got to read.
