If you loved the Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga version of A Star Is Born, we highly recommend this read. Struggling musician Addie Raintree has every reason to believe legendary guitar man David Landry has stolen her song. But David insists he wrote the tune, his biggest hit in years.
When the two adversaries call a truce in order to collaborate, Addie suspects she’s found much more than a mentor in David. The rest of the world may know him as the “Marquette Miracle”, but Addie soon learns he works wonders in her bed and in her heart, too. David the sexy, irresistible remedy to any woman’s midnight blues.
How can Addie be just another in a long line of swindlers when she’s everything David craves? The earthy heiress to a quirky musical family’s legacy could be the real big talent, smoldering beauty, and a gift for making him feel like he’s finally found home.
There’s just one problem—that damned stolen song. Will either be willing to sacrifice what it takes to make love stay?
MIDNIGHT BLUES hits just the right chord with readers who love cozy cabin/small town settings, hot rock star romance reads, and love stories laced with humor.
"a hick & a city slicker sittin' in a tree..." David & Addie are enemies from the start over a 'who wrote it' lawsuit. Naturally, the one with the bigger bank account & career won: David. Oddly enough he is sent by his record company to check out a set she was playing at a dive bar and an unlikely bond eventually starts forming. That bond slowly turns to love but nothing can be that easy in the music biz.
I really enjoyed this book. There are still a lot of questions not answered - especially about who wrote the song & how it came about!! Other things were hinted at but never explained/resolved. The 'voice' of the story is very hillbilly-ish which grew tiresome but overall I liked the story. I would recommend this.
Exclusive review. Midnight Blues has a great storyline and is a quick read. It kept me captivated from the first sentence. Addie and David are connected by one song that they both claim to have written. When the courts rule in Davids favor, Addie is devastated. Then their paths cross again on one snowy night when David comes to Addie's rescue. These characters have great chemistry and banter. This is Addie's journey of trying to overcome the most devastating event in her life and finding love in the most unexpected place.
Jill Baker has a fresh and sassy voice in this charming book. The main characters were easy to love. Their romance blossomed at the perfect pace. I could almost hear the beautiful music Addie and David made. The banter between Addie and her sister was authentic and natural. I can't wait to read Jill Baker's next book.
I really enjoyed reading this book! David and Addie were awesome characters so good together! I still think the whole fight over the song was blown way out of proportion! Fun book!
