Midnight Blue – 5 Spectacular Stars
Midnight Blue is a new standalone romance by bestselling author L.J. Shen. As a avid reader, I have found many authors over the last six years that I consider to be my favorite authors. Without Question, L.J. Shen in among my top five favorites. Her books always stand out when I need to read something that I want to just get lost in. Her characters remain in our hearts long after the story is over and Midnight Blue is without doubt my favorite book she has written to date.

Claiming a favorite is not an easy task with an author that writes like L.J. Shen does…but L.J. Shen outdoes herself with each new book she introduces readers too. In Midnight Blue, we meet (and fall in love with) Alex Winslow. Alex starts off as an antihero of sorts. It’s hard to like the man we meet at the start of the book, and I will admit I was completely unsure of how the book would proceed. Yet, L.J. Shen does the impossible and not only redeems Alex but she makes readers fall head over heals in-love with him. Few authors can manage this mastery in my experience, yet L.J. Shen did so. The heroine in this story is Indigo Bellamy and what a heroine she is. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Indie doesn’t tolerate the shade Alex throws her way and they bicker in an almost comical way. I love that the two are initially enemies and involve into lovers in a slow-burn fashion. It becomes intense fast between the two and yet Indie and Alex still bicker like the frenemies they’ve become. I never saw the story ending in the manner this one did. But honestly, this ending was literally the most beautiful ending that Alex and Indie could have had. Simply an AMAZING story that I can not rate high enough.
The sexy times between Alex and Indie are scorching hot and the slow build to lovers is delicious in its own right. L.J. Shen didn’t rush or race the romance in this book. At first Alex and Indie can’t stand each other even if they are irrevocably drawn to one another. I loved the slow burn because once the fire is lit, its intense and scorching hot!
As far as the story goes, readers will love how well written it is. The plot is refreshing and honest in an almost brutal way. It does contain drinking and drugs but honestly I would have expected nothing less when it comes down to being a true rockstar romance. I find the manner that L.J. Shen introduces readers to Alex and his demons true to the lifestyle he led and it was given to readers in an honest and straightforward manner. I loved that this story was told in duel POV because I couldn’t relate to Alex any other way. And with Indie, I understood her in a soul deep manner… I’ve lived her life and felt her pain in ways that left me breathless. I swear L.J. Shen plucked her right out of my head. Then there was the plot to this story. It was completely original from anything I’ve read before and since Rockstar Romance is one of my favorite genres I have read a lot of them! Overall, I think L.J. Shen wrote her best work yet and with the stories she produced in the past for readers, that speaks volumes for Midnight Blue. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you grab this story without delay.
