Book Blurb

Lillian Gray thinks she’s got it all under control. Work, sobriety, church visits, and aching over her ex take up most of her time. But her long-time friends insist on seeing her and continuously invite her to the local lesbian bar The Griffin. Lillian agrees to go, unknowingly placing herself in the path of someone who will shake up her carefully controlled world for good.

Personal fitness trainer Audrey McCarthy is a heartbreaker. Love is the last thing on her mind despite the concern from her married friends. So when she collides with Lillian Gray in the “midnight room” one night at The Griffin, she’s left shocked, breathless, and hopelessly smitten. But Lillian isn’t willing to let go of the past or admit her feelings, especially for a heartbreaker like Audrey McCarthy who seems unwilling to change her gallivanting ways.

Can repeated trips to the midnight room change them both?

Book Review

The "Midnight Room" is a new attraction at the Griffin, a favorite lesbian club. It is also the location that pushes the two main gals onto the next level and into a rather complex relationship. Additionally, there is a potpourri of alliances, family folks, and richly extrapolated personal dynamics that envelops the focal pair and really enhances things. The main twosome initially seems cemented in place and that presents an interesting assortment of responses from friends and me, too! This book was immensely intriguing, delightfully educational for me, and deliciously intense and romantic. Plus, I get to thank Ronica Black and BSB once again with double-sized thumbs up and a smile from ear to ear. Winner! 

Lillian Gray, a couple’s therapist, continues to personally suffer from the abandonment by her partner. That puts her in quite a sticky wicket. Luckily, she continues to be a very proficient therapist, but remains a large problem for her friends. She gets kind of sucker punched and finds herself within the "Midnight Room" along with the most desirable woman who regularly shows up at the Griffin and is astoundingly alluring to absolutely everyone. The scene is a discombobulation knocking Lillian and even Audrey to near epic proportions. Watch closely for Lillian’s transformation. It is simply brilliant!

Audrey McCarthy is a personal trainer, has a drop-dead gorgeous body, and an out of this world magnetism. As it is almost always true with most folks, she has a painful history unknown to practically everyone, which rarely seems to affect her performance as the top notch "player" at Griffin’s. Everyone wants Audrey and it has generally been the case that Audrey wants to sample everyone. She is a knock-out! If I were a character in this story, I would want my time with her, too. 

As I got to know Lillian and then Audrey, their lives took on more and more nuances. The circle and lack of friends' support enhances the story in so many delightful ways. This grabbed me right from the beginning and held my attention all the way through. I most certainly recommend this book to new or returning fans of Ronica Black. Fantastic!
