MIDNIGHT BLUE by L.J. Shen
Published; January 16th 2018, Indie Published

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.”

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.

Holy shit. When I downloaded MIDNIGHT BLUE onto my Kindle – I wasn’t expecting to be left in a book hangover this bad! It’s not often that I read a book that literally takes over my entire soul! I could not put this book down and every moment I had spare – I was cramming pages into my eyeballs!

I was gripped by the story in the first few pages. Bad boy musician Alex Winslow is forced to have a ‘sobriety companion’ accompany him on his latest world tour. Indie is that person and what then follows is a pretty intense and passionate relationship between the pair.

This is my first Rock star romance and the bar has now been set REALLY high. Alex is, let’s put it bluntly, an arsehole! He’s success has given him what he sees as the right to talk and treat people like shit. On top of that, he drinks and uses drugs. A cracking combo! Then we have Indie who is young, been through some shit in her life, but is making the most of what she has. She’s not meek and shy…she has some sass and when the pair first meet and that sass is exchanged – you can’t help but fall in love with her spirit. It was always going to make the relationship with Alex and her interesting.

I think what made this book all the more special for me was Leigh’s writing! My word that lady can write! I ate up every word on every page! She is a master wordsmith. Being able to draw a reader in and convey so much emotion in 359 pages….. I could swear at her!! I’m eager to read more of her work!

I loved this book so much that I’ve already recommended it to everyone that will listen! If Passionflix could look at turning this into a movie…that would be great!
