Grab a cozy seat and M. J. Schiller’s “Midnight Melody,” for a rapid page-turning romantic mystery.
Rock star Colton Remkus inherits his late father’s lucrative recording (and Texas guitar string enterprise) called R&J Enterprises, situated in Arizona. He is clueless about its operations since Tyler Remkus, his father, was a country and western star. They were estranged throughout Colt’s life.
Melody Hawkins, having escaped an abusive environment, has been the late Tyler Remkus’s right hand person for many years. Much younger than her boss and with no romantic interests between them, she became his trusted, devoted confidant and sounding board. She has learned the entire R&J operations from top to bottom. When she and Colt team up to find his father’s killer, they bump heads. Tempers and sparks fly, but can they also ignite the flames of a romance?
Author M.J. Schiller writes an addictive combination of humor and sizzling romance with engaging dialogue.
This is a sweet read with a little past history sprinkled in to give you enough background to make up if you haven’t read other books before. I found it enjoyable and easy to read.
This book grabbed me by the first page. The beginning opened up with Melody’s story and the emotions started from there and didn’t stop.
Melody is a sweetheart and luckily she is championed by a pretty nice guy. She has a lot of reason to play the “woe is me” attitude, but she doesn’t. She’s got a lot of spunk, but also wasn’t too afraid to allow herself to be vulnerable. She is a smart character, hard-working, and puts one foot in front of the other regardless of what people say behind her back. She was a tough cookie.
Colt is ADORABLE. He’s a rock star so you know he can be wild, but that’s subdued now due to his new responsibilities of taking over his dad’s company. That said, it was wonderful watching him go through growing pains of sitting behind a desk and not standing on a stage. He tries so hard to be the best man he can be, and I loved it. He’s honest and dedicated. Very worthy gentleman for Melody.
There were very romantic moments in the story, very cute and touching moments, funny ones, and some pretty steamy ones. Oh! And suspenseful ones, too! Colt has to race to the rescue and he’s no cop, but he charges forward and takes care of it. I loved his internal thoughts as he’s trying to stop the bad guy.
This book had wonderful characters and very witty writing. The author could say a lot with a few words. I really enjoyed DJ and Pam, secondary characters. They were a great couple.
I’ve read Ms. Schiller before and loved her stories, but this is my favorite so far. Made my heart go pitter patter many times!!!!
Intriguing rock star romantic mystery filled with suspense, humor, and romance. The mystery has twists and turns that kept me guessing and totally immersed. Coltan and Melody interaction is thoroughly engaging and sizzling and kept those pages turning. All in all, a well written romantic mystery with interesting characters.
