Synopsis.
Colin McKenna is striking and powerful, beautiful and broken…
His mere presence commands attention and he definitely has mine. I'm captivated, drawn to him on a level I don’t understand.
He wants me, needs my body to satisfy his hunger. I’ve given myself freely to his demands. But at what cost? I’m the unknown factor. He had his life planned out, a very specific path laid before him and not anywhere on his road to travel did Charlie Carter exist. Yet here I am, and his struggle becomes one of diversion. Should he divert from the path he meticulously planned or digress for an unknown draw toward a stranger, someone so unlike anyone he’s met before?
Someone with secrets that could destroy his dreams and a destiny filled with power and influence. My past is sealed, protected against curious eyes. I've moved on and created a life for myself, leaving the pain behind. Until now.
I fell willingly into his bed, stolen moments of passion so intense, they blurred the lines of responsibility and reason. The passion we’ve unlocked together could be the key to our salvation or the path to damnation.
This is my story, my fall into love and fear that it could end in a heartbeat.
Midnight is an adult contemporary romance, due to strong language and sexual content this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
SJ's Review.
Ever heard the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover'? Yeah? Me too but I didn't judge the book by its cover I judged it by the blurb! Well in actual fact I signed up without reading the blurb and truthfully? Best thing I could have done!!! I bloody loved Colin & Charlie.
Charlie is independent journalist.
Colin is a senator running for presidency.
Colin wants Charlie to run his campaign, to be on his team.
Colin doesn't have a heart to give, Charlie doesn't ever think she will feel anything for a man. When these two come together the connection is astonishing, little does Charlie know, but it wasn't fate that brought these two together!
"I like to find broken things, discover their secrets and make them whloe, mend and repair until they're far better than before my interception."
Charlie has a troubled past.
Colin has a rocky one.
Together can they pull the best out of eachother and forget the past they both suffered & be happy together?
As I was reading Midnight I couldn't help but feel there was a lot more to Colin than he let on. The looks his family gave, the comments made. I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. This was a massive shock to me because I for one am normally quite good a pulling parts out of the book to find the hidden secret. Not this time that is for sure!! This book not only surprised me with the story line but also with the amount I liked this book. The characters they were so likeable. The storyline kept you pulled in that you didn't want to put it down.
Reviews are all about honestly and I have to be honest. The first two chapters I sturggled with. Like really struggled. I put the book down three times and was going to give up. I am not a political person in the slightest and that was the ONLY reason why I couldn't seem to get into it. I then gave myself a pep talk and told myself to man up and SERIOUSLY.... it turnt out to be a cracking story but I truly do rate as up there with a few of my favourites! If you are not a political person like me don't let the first few chapters put you off. Read on. Please.
Colin. You have this powerful man running for president who has the had his fair share of broken hearts and broken forevers. He has his peers, and his best friend Evan but other than that he actually has nobody! He is a loner surrounded by people essentially.
Charlie. She is a fiesty firecracker. She has a beliefs and her mind will not be changed on them. This is what I thought attracted Colin to Charlie.
Charlie & Colin finally give into the sexual tension between them & get down to it. Once they start there is no stopping them but what is that is holding Colin back from making Charlie his? They both have their fair share of secrets and trust issues but surely if they work together they can get past all of the insecurities they have.
This book shocked me, rock me and made me cry! I laughed until my jaw hurt at some points but I cried until I sobbed at the end. I wouldn't say it is a cliffhanger but I cant wait to get my hands on book 2 of Charlie & Colin's story! 5 stars from me for Elizabeth Miller on Midnight, which comes as a complete shock after I struggled in the beginning!!!
