Wow, this was an emotional yet funny story, Vivian and Aaron’s story is a good one, you have a sexy wonderful man that will have you swooning, while Vivian will have your heart and take you on an emotional ride. A beautiful slow burn that will grab you from the start and won’t let you go easily, so be ready to have a turmoil until the last page.
Knowing Vivian’s story from previous books, I was expecting sadness, I wasn’t expecting to be bawling my eyes out only a couple of pages in, but that’s one thing Danielle excels at, bringing out the emotions, and it’s why she will continue to be a one-click author for me. She absolutely nailed it in this one.
Danielle has hit a winning formula with her girl gang (not a gang) of friends. Strong women who support each other, and would go to any lengths to look after each other, with no filters and laugh out loud antics, these are women you only hope you can find as friends of your own.
After a few too many drinks after a wedding, Vivian tries to contact one of her friends, but ends up dialling her old number and confusing Erin with Aaron.
Aaron isn’t expecting the call he gets out of the blue, but there’s something about the woman who drunk dialled him that he can’t let go of. When the pair keep up their calls, the heat between them starts to grow.
Finally meeting face to face, there is no denying the attraction. But when a blast from Vivian’s past starts hounding her, and a decision Aaron made when he was younger comes back to haunt him, the pair have to decide if they can make the relationship work, and if it is worth fighting for their future together.
This book had a different feel to it than a usual Danielle Norman book, but in a good way. The girl gang were present, but not in your face, and we got to meet some new faces. There was also quite a lot of time where the couple were apart, but again, this wasn’t a bad thing, it was just a different direction, which I enjoyed.
Vivian is one of my favourite DN heroines, she’s overcome so much and trusting her heart with another man is tough, but she gladly gives it, and Aaron is the perfect man to keep it safe.
Another great story in this series, definitely one I will be rereading soon.
I wasn’t prepared for how much this book was going to make me feel. I should have known since it was Vivians book, and there was no way it was just going to skip over her being a widow and what happened to her husband, but it goes so much deeper than that. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so I won’t go into detail but I will say it’s not an ugly cry book but it is strong on the emotions, and the love, and the feels. Easily one of ( if not the) my favorite Danielle Norman books.
Oh my word, what an awesome book. I loved this story of Vivian and Aaron soooo much. Vivian is a great character and strong woman and Aaron is the total alpha male. This book was easily read in one day. Loved it Danielle.
This was such a fantastic addition from the series. Once I started this book I literally couldn’t get enough and I didn’t stop till I had finished it. I was hooked in such a good way. The characters were amazing and I loved how the story unfolded. It played on my heart strings a fair bit too. So so good.
The loss of a loved one can cause a rollercoaster of emotions. Younwill begin to ask why them, what could we have done different, will life go on?
Vivian has lost someone special and doesn’t feel like she will ever be normal again. One night trying to drink her troubles away she does something that draws the attention of someone and a relationship she thought would never happen.
Aaron is the star basketball player and has had a rough life growing up, he has a secret that he has kept to himself and when a tragedy happens can he keep the secret hidden or is will be more than willing to let the public know his truth?
Looking for tragedy, secrecy and love all wrapped into one, well follow Danielle Norman through this book, it will give all that and more.
What a emotional, intense, sexy, funny, feisty, poignant and touching story that will have you clued in from the very start all the way through the end. Vivian is a heroine that appeals to all readers- she’s spunky, sassy, sweet, hardworking, tough , a widower and most of all, a survivor. How she meets and ends up with Aaron is awesome! I don’t want to give anything away… just know Aaron is a few years younger than Vivian, is hot , is caring about and for Vivian and doesn’t hesitate to get involved with her. There are twists and turns that take the story into a way that I didn’t see coming. Do Vivian and Aaron stay or will he move on ? Get tissues handy. This is quite a mesmerizing and moving romance.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
Amazing Read…. I love the women in the Iron Orchid series and their sister with the Iron Badges. These are badass women who when bonded together are strong as nails. They are “always’ there for their sisterhood no matter the reason – be it drinks at Sixx’s Bar, a night on the town or a rally session with tubs of ice cream and laughs.
All that being said, if you’ve kept up with the series, you’ve met up Vivian throughout. She is the widower that owns Sixx’s. She is one tough independent woman. She lost her husband and in her heart and mind he was her one and only. But one “drunken night” she dials up her sister-in-law because she is down and missing her husband. But in her drunken state she forgot her sister-in-law has moved and has a new number – so instead of getting Erin, she gets a stranger that she has a very intimate call with – I mean it’s not like either of them would ever run into one another, Right???
From here the story takes off. There are hilarious moments, sad moments and moments that made my heart soar with happiness. Watching Vivian’s walls come down and the journey with little Ireland’s upside down life is simply phenomenal. (Ireland is a precocious, young lady who will melt your heart in two once you meet her).
Kudos Ms. Norman for giving Vivian a funny, sexy, heartwarming story, with some major bumps in the road. I highly recommend grabbing up the entire series as well as Midnight Call Girl – you won’t regret it. 2 Thumbs Up and 5+ Stars
For a little while she broke my heart, but along the way she restored my faith in love. Norman continues to march to the beat of her own emotions and empower people like me while doing so. Midnight Call Girl is more than a romance. Vivian and Aaron, take the long road to happiness, but it’s a courageously uphill climb. Through the eyes of two broken people, we find strength, hope and words of wisdom. There’s beauty within the tragedy.
A midnight drunk dial goes a little sideways when it turns out the person on the other end isn’t the intended recipient.
After great loss, Vivian has been alone for 7 years, but 1 accidental phone call is all it takes for Aaron to start falling for her. What happens next is a whirlwind romance, a small detour and a happily ever after for everyone.
5 Star review of Vivian, Midnight Call Girl (Iron Orchids #6) by Danielle Norman
Well Danielle Norman had me laughing out loud and in tears at the first chapter. My heart broke for Vivian and I knew that this story was going to be amazing. Having read other books in this series, I couldn’t wait to see what was in store for Vivian and Aaron.
This was an emotionally charged book which was a bit of a roller coaster of a read. However, it was such a beautifully written story of love and taking a leap of faith that I was riveted from the first to the last chapter.
I fell hard for Aaron, what a swoon worthy, delicious, caring man, he ticked all the boxes for me and in my opinion she could not have chosen a better man for Vivian to fall for after every thing she has been through.
There was also a great deal of humour and the friendship that Vivian and the other Iron Orchid ladies share is special. They have each others backs, love and support one another with a fierceness that I admire.
A fabulous addition to the series and one I happily recommend.
I’m so happy Vivian got her HEA. I knew her story would be sad, but I didn’t know it would be to the tune of me sobbing just a few pages in. After a attending a cringe-worthy and hilarious wedding she drinks her sorrows away and decides to call her SIL Erin, but gets Aaron instead. They got hit off right away, well at least once Vivian realized she in fact did NOT call the right Erin. Vivian is just amazing. After a monumental loss, she knew she had to move on and let herself enjoy life again. Aaron is so into Vivian, and immediately puts her concerns about their age difference to rest. They share an awesome first date after weeks of talking, and just as they are getting into the good stuff, Aaron is dealt a blast from his past. No spoilers, but I will say that I admired how he jumped in with both feet. He took care of his business and was open and honest with Vivian. I sped through this book, 5 stars from me!
This was the perfect story for Vivian. I couldn’t get past the second page and I was crying like a baby. If you have read the rest of the series, you know Vivian’s story. This was her way of getting back into dating again. Aaron was the perfect guy for her. The chemistry between the two were great. Another great story by Danielle!
The girl gang is back.. ok not a gang. I loved reading Vivian’s story. What a cougar (not) she is. We got the backstory for her and see how her personality developed. Her interaction with Ireland brought a tear to my eyes. Vivian has been a great supporting cast member and seeing her upfront and center was great. To repeat Piper: Aaron and Vivian sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G….
Oh Wow!!
I was only three pages in and had tears in my eyes!!
This books started out tearing me apart then slowly putting me back together. I’m always kind of leery of younger man older women romance but this one was done to perfection. Super slow burn romance that fits this story perfectly. A girl posse I want to be apart of. So much snarky interaction with the other characters make this another wonderful edition to the Iron Orchid’s
Was so excited for Vivians story and it did not disappoint of course. Loved how Aaron, Vivian and Ireland’s story unfolded. There was entertainment and love throughout midnight call girl. Just like Danielle’s other story’s, this is a must read.
I feel like I have been waiting forever for Vivian to get her story and I couldn’t be happier with it!
OH MY HEART. This was the perfect story for Vivian. Vivian, Midnight Call Girl is phenomenal. I love Vivian even more after reading this. In fact I want to see more of Vivian and Aaron. Those two will just grab your heart and will not let go. If you are caught up on the Iron Orchids series then you know Vivian’s back story. Vivian is finally moving on. I love the chemistry between Aaron and Vivian. They have a cute way of getting to know each other and you feel the sparks start to build. Learning more about Aaron will just make you love him even more. He is so good with Ireland. I love how Vivian doesn’t even take a second to pull Ireland in and love her. This is one of my favorite books in the Iron Orchids series. I want more Vivian, Aaron and Ireland. I couldn’t get enough. Your heart strings will be tugged. You will laugh out loud, wipe a few tears and rejoice in the beauty of Vivian, Midnight Call Girl. I know I couldn’t put this one down.
When I first discovered this series I powered through them and read the first 5 in 3 days. Since then I’ve managed to read every book Danielle has written and am always eagerly awaiting the next one in the series.
Vivian’s book has certainly been no exception to that rule. I was eagerly waiting to see what became of the sweet widow and her capacity to love. Would it forever more be given only to her friends and family? Would she find a new mister right? Would she be able to accept it if she did find a new mr. right?
Well, the wait is over and the answers to those questions are in this wonderful tale of heartbreak, survival, healing, and moving forward in life. None of that is ever easy, for anyone. But Danielle Norman handles it all with absolute humanity and fantasticness (I’m creating a new word … yes you can use it LOL).
My only “complaint”, and it’s not REALLY a complaint … I could have kept reading even more of Vivian’s story. But that’s the mark of a good book, it sucks you in and when it’s over you can’t help but be disappointed that it’s over already.
Well done, Dani … very well done, indeed.
This emotional, sexy and funnier than crap story will make this quarantine manageable. Another LOL hit by the amazing Danielle Norman – a lady that never disappoints and continues to get better and better with each book!! An absolutely MUST READ! One click it TODAY!
Danielle Norman should be a one click author. EVERY SOMGLE TIME!! First, she hits you deep with emotions, then shroud in laughter, love and a close knit family. Her characters are flawed, funny, kind and loving. I’m always so engrossed in her books, I usually finish very quickly.
The characters fees are relatable, hot, and totally hilarious. I loved EVERY SINGLE PART of this book. From the midnight call, to surprises and total chemistry. Hands down, one of my top reads by Danielle Norman.
Vivian is a character that you will fall in love with. Through tragedy, she finds everything she didn’t know she needed. Aaron – well sexy, sweet, and totally swoon worthy!! These characters, along with the past characters who are thicker than theives, will make you fall in love every time with Danielle Norman’s stories.
