Chasing Midnight by Shyloh & Alex Morgan


 Approximately 538 pages
​

Quinn Mason is a young Southern gentleman. Perhaps, gentleman is a stretch for how he lived his earlier years. He was the kid whose life seemed charmed, a popular athlete in high school who won a full scholarship. Life was on track for him until the death of his parents. In one terrible moment, Quinn went from having everything being everything for his young siblings. He left college, and used the money from his parent’s life insurance policy to buy a bar. The bar supported him and the kids, affording him the ability to give for them the life was robbed of, even sending them to college. 


Mhisery Bellamy has returned to Midnight, reluctantly. Her mother died, and she is left to take care of her drunken father, and the family cafe´. She had escaped the small town’s clutches as soon as she was of age, and swore never to return. Now, her siblings have turned to her, leaning heavily on her for help. The woman who got out of town and made a life she loves is now forced, by the bonds of family, and the weight of obligation, to return and give up what she had worked to build for herself. 

These two are unlikely to cross paths, but chance throws them into the right place at the right time. Quinn’s brother is the catalyst that brings Mhisery into Quinn’s line of sight. And that’s all it took, one look and he knows he has to have her. The golden boy athlete is now drawn to the tall, tattooed woman stepping off the last bus into town. 

Will Quinn ever have the woman he desires, and make her his own, or will she return to the life she loves far away from the small town of Midnight, and Quinn, or will she stay and make a life with the man she loves? 

Midnight Chase tells a story of love, friendship, and sacrifice. This talented duo, Shyloh & Alex Morgan, will rip your heart out and have you falling in love with the inhabitants of this quaint, quirky, town. Welcome to southern seduction, and the town of Midnight, where the Darkest Desires of Dixie become a reality.


*****5 out of 5 Stars*****
I can honestly say I have never read a book quite like this...I was given the ARC for an honest review...and honestly, It was spectacular!! 


At first I was unsure, the writer takes you back and forth from one POV to the others POV during a scene. The way it was put together was something I have never read like before. It kept me thoroughly engaged in the entire book, knowing that you would be able to feel what everyone felt. And that made the journey of reading this just THAT much MORE incredible. 


You have the Bellamy Family, and you can't help but feel their struggles, pain, love and bond through the pages. From all the siblings, dealing with LIFE. Life can suck and it can be hard...and reading a real perspective on how a family deals with what they come up again and have to face is, for lack of a better term, priceless. Mhisery is a phenomenal woman, strong, independent, fierce, and unique. Her journey is the focus of the book, and reading how her family deal with life in Midnight, GA. 


Then you have the Mason Family, and boy oh boy and girls, are they one fine bunch of southern comfort. They have had their share of LIFE too, but the strength of their characters you cant help but cheer and laugh and cry with. Quinn is a sweet alpha male, being the figure-head of the family, who puts his family first and foremost. But one spit-fire of a woman will rock his world!


You have to read this book, it has such detail you can envision the town and the people in it. From the Diner to the Bars, to each families home, and many places in between. I swooned, laughed, cried, got angry, laughed some more, ugly cried, and ultimately sighed with content. You won't be disappointed taking a chance on Chasing Midnight. 


Looking forward to the next in the series "Claiming Midnight"...the teaser at the end has me drooling!! ;)

Shyloh and Alex Morgan are a duet of authors who have written together for years. Both come from large families steeped in alpha males. Growing up in this environment allows them to truly grasp varying personalities and create a world of seduction that will completely consume a reader once they find them in a world the two have created. 

Shyloh was born and raised in the south, and is a published author in her own right, with multiple titles to her credit. She comes from a large family in which she was the only female among all her brothers and cousins. She has a background in medicine working as a registered nurse before turning her attention to writing. She has several awards to her credit before she started embarking on this journey with Alex where have started showing readers that there is more than steamy weather in the south. 


Alex was raised in a similar family and was surrounded by alpha males, giving them a unique understanding of various male personalities. Alex's ability to turn a phrase and make, not only the reader, but the leading female in the novel swoon, has given readers a true glimpse into southern charm, as well as, southern seduction. 


Both reside in the rural south currently, and enjoy spending time with their family and friends while they each participate in the running of their individual family farms. They each love horse riding, quiet nights beneath the stars with a cold drink, and general country life. But when the two authors collide and collaborate they create a world in which demons, humans, shifters, and vampires alike take the reader on the emotional ride of a life time. 


Their characters show various strong personalities, while demonstrating the inner turmoil that is faced within the plot. They are skilled at creating characters that are multifaceted, making the reader explore the range of emotion that each character feels. Welcome to the worlds of their creation where the men are strong, powerful, charming, funny, and perfectly imperfect. Where the women are strong of will and heart, with a determination to rival any the reader has ever read. 


Welcome to the worlds of Shyloh and Alex Morgan.
