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 Hell!!!
Alex Winslow is everything I imagine a rockstar being. He’s egotistical, he’s an a$$hole, and he’s entitled. But that’s just the exterior to Alex Winslow. Way..way…down deep there is a boy who wants to be loved and wanted, but doesn’t know how to accept those emotions.
After two trips to rehab for a cocaine addiction, Alex Winslow is not to be trusted. Enter Indigo his new hanny (Hot Nanny). Indie is unlike any woman Alex has ever met. She’s pure and innocent without a single malicious bone in her body. Alex is dead set on tainting all of that good but Indie has other ideas, she’s going to resist him and his rockstar charm, because she needs this job to support her brother, his wife, and her nephew.
Being honest, This novel was really long but with a complex character like Alex, I understand why. Alex extremely pissed me off at the beginning, but the more I read his point of view and got that inside look into his thought process, my rage towards him turned into sympathy and sadness. Deep inside he’s just a boy who’s scared to move on from the one thing he thought would last forever (Fallon). My heart legit broke for him.
Indigo is a special character. In a way she’s playing the part of a free spirit with her hipster hair and her handmade clothes, Internally though, she’s a free spirit chained to her home by her brother and the horrible accident that took her parents away and ruined not only her future but her life. Indie’s strength is something to be talked about. She is the ultimate for putting up with Alex’s bullshit along with dealing with her home life bullshit all at the same time.
Alex and Indigo together had my heart pounding in my chest. I loved the back and forth endless banter between the two. I loved Indie’s patience toward Alex and Alex’s impatience towards Indie.
There are so many damn twists in this novel, it had my head spinning. Some twists I saw coming and others I had predicted.
Overall, Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen blew me away! I loved the complexity, the romance, and the enemies to lovers vibe. This is a novel that I highly recommend to all romance readers.
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
Fantastic review and yes Alex was a @hole 😉
