Midnight Bleus

Rate this book
Jream Lancaster has always believed in love—the kind that wraps itself around your Spirit and stays. Raised in a home where affection lived loud, the private chef has spent her life pouring into others, only to end up with men who treat her like a midnight craving instead of a lifetime feast. She’s tired of almosts and what ifs. She’s ready for the kind of love that feels like home-cooked meals and slow dancing in the kitchen.

Lucky Bleu is the man who fixes things. Cars. Mistakes. Broken hearts. With an old soul and grease beneath his nails, he’s the kind of lover who believes in putting in work. He’ll write your name in chrome, show up with flowers just because, and sit outside your house with a boom box if that’s what it takes.

When fate parks them in the same lane, Lucky swears she’s the one he’s been waiting for. But Jream’s heart? It’s been burned.

And love like this?

It don’t come easy.

But when it hits?

It’s sweeter than syrup and deeper than oil stains

A real one

Now this was one of the most courting love stories I have read in a while. Lucky and Jream were just too darn cute to boot. A genuine friends to lovers and something like forever.

A chance meet over two broken hearts that were tied together and they didn't even know it. Their love for cars and peace trumped all outside noise. It was the affirmations and actions for me.

I loved the pacing of this book. I hate when books mention a MC not being ready for a relationship, but then they jump into a relationship with the other MC. They both needed time to heal so the 1 year time jump was perfect and tied it together.
I just know ole boy ear was ringing after he got sense knocked in him. I’m obsessed with this two a perfect friends to lovers. The courting and how he showed his love was everything!

This book was SUCH A VIBE! It was smooth, flirty, and sensual. Lucky and Jream had such a natural chemistry. Nothing in their relationship felt forced. It was just effortless. Lucky was the epitome of Jream’s nickname for him (“Lover Boy”). He was so intentional in the way he showed his love and care for her, ensuring that his actions always matched his words. Jream had a slick mouth especially when it came to the kitchen (Chef ain’t play about her bag!), but Lucky provided that safe space for her to just be soft. When she had a brief momentary lapse of judgment, I appreciated her humility and Lucky’s ability to effectively communicate through it. The prose in this book was just beautiful and overall this book just felt like love. There were some periods where it felt like author was bringing us up to speed where I wish we were actually able to see the scenes play out. But it didn’t take too much away from the book and kept the focus on their relationship.

Awwww Beautiful

Lucky and Jream book was beautiful. I love how they went through everything just to love each other. Lucky showed Jream how it was them against everything. He showed her how her friends were jealous of her. She realized it and had to check one. Then she had to leave the other one too.
She found a true friend in the process.
The book had me on the edge of my seat.
We dont usually find a love like this. But when you do, you protect, love him, and make sure that you are vulnerable.
It was a beautiful book.

Baby!!!!! Lucky 🍀. Whew! The big one,
Not the little one. The way he loves, my god on today. This was such a beautiful read. This was a sit back and rub your feet together type of read. Nothing but a man loving on a woman in the most beautiful way - and her loving him back equally. Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ because why would you tell her to open her mouth Lucky!

My only gripe is that is felt too long without anything to break up the continuous plot that we knew the end of by 30% in. I was getting a bit restless at 70% and there were chapters that were all spice and nothing more.

Midnight Bleus

Okay I read ALOT of books, more than 350 in 2025 and more than 450 in 2024-so when I tell you this book was one of the most sensual reads I've had in a very long time believe me. I'm a new reader for Ms. Sunshine and YES---I'm a forever reader and fan! Jream and Lucky were two of the most emotionally stable and calm and in sync characters. I loved everything about their vibe and their maturity. Such a great read!!! I hated to say bye to them.

Thank you

Thank you to the author for sharing this beautiful love story! Two grown people who have been hurt by the people who was supposed to love them, find each other and intentionally build a respectful, loving (emphasis on loving), kind relationship. This couple makes love, and they make growing in love a beautiful thing.

The author does a fantastic job of developing the characters and the people around them and it makes for a beautiful story ❤️❤️❤️

I shouldn't have loved this book as much as I did. I was grinning ear to ear the entire read.

Sincere didn't play about his Jream and I loved that for her. Definitely made the book husbae list.

Outside of that one mishap (which was kind of random) my girl was smooth and confident.

The writing was good. The transitions could have been a bit smoother, but overall, not bad.

Definitely became a comfort read.

Very cute and sweet read. Lucky is real lover boy energy epitomized. Also real BDE because he did not tolerate disrespect. Loved Jream too. She had a mouth on her and would let you know if you had her messed up.

The main drama was a little left field. There was no previous indication that the person had any ill feelings. The author could have led up to that better.

Few typos that more editing would have caught.

Lucky to know Lucky!

Jream and Lucky reconnect a year after they first encounter each other, hearts broken and souls unsure of their next steps. When they meet up a year later, they dive deep into a bond that had to have started in a previous lifetime. It’s that kind of love. Grown, sexy AF, patient, thoughtful, and willing to learn. Together they really lucked up into a dream kind of love that is rare.

This was a good, healthy romance. I enjoyed their sugary sweet (and spicy) connection. I loved how Lucky didn’t hold back expressing his love for Jream, even with his past heartbreak.

That said, the dialogue was a bit distracting. Lucky oftentimes used slang and sayings that women typically use, and Jream spoke like a guy sometimes.

I also felt as though the book could’ve wrapped up around 60% in. The last few chapters seemed like filler, especially the third act conflict.

Lover Boy!

Loved it!! 2nd book I read this year was a nice start, loved the romance it was a break from all the chaos I be reading lol. Loved the love, love the minimum drama focused more on their relationship & getting through the tough times without a dramatic predicated-able break up!

New to me Arthur. This was really good. I enjoyed reading the growth throughout the early stages of their relationship. From meeting, dating, and becoming official. There was some point where i got lost with some parts of the story not matching what was in the previous chapter. All in all a good story.

Lucky Sincere Bleu. That’s it that’s the review. A good read especially if you love to be romanced or just an over all lover. Loved this book from the beginning to end. Lucky & Jream two lovers who found love in each other despite exes who did them dirty. The love story bloomed. A man who didn’t play about his & a woman who knew what she had.

I love when a plan comes together. This is one for the books. A love story that is about love. When two people get to know each other and fall deeply into the deepest parts of each other. He’s a lover boy and I love Lucky

Lucky and Jream

Mr. Lucky Bleu was A MAN baby. Everything he did, he did with intention. He taught Jream what it’s like to be soft, but also be herself. I love that they didn’t rush anything, it made the build up of the story so beautiful.

Grown people love

Spice and love. This is the grown and sexy kind of love without all the drama. The love that loves you back with its entire chest. The kind of love that builds over and isn’t rushed. Good read

Loved!!

Sunshine did her thing with this one, literally couldn't put it down. I loved the way Lucky and Jream loved each other. Her friend Ava was a 🐍 🙄, but she lost one and gained another in Monee which I loved!

Even though I complained about Lucky being a loverboy, I loved him. He can crash out if he needed too. I mean he is friends with Zayne & Monee.
