From The Astronaut and the Star author Jen Comfort comes a wildly electric romance about two musicians who collide on the stage of a Nevada opera house.
Self-professed diva Erika Greene has it all: a starring role on Broadway, legions of fans, spectacular natural talent. But after an accident on stage leaves her face scarred and her career in shambles, Erika retreats to Paris, Nevada, where she’s inherited a ramshackle opera house in desperate need of some TLC.
Erika pours her savings into the building, but it’s not enough to stave off casino developer Raoul Decomte’s avaricious gaze. With foreclosure imminent, she leases the space to some unexpected tenants: a German hair metal band, fronted by glam rock god Christof Daae.
Erika is tempted by Christof’s low-slung leather pants—and even more so by his ambitious drive to make Nacht Musik international superstars—but he’s off-limits. The rest of his band thinks he’s still dating their beloved keyboardist, who is conveniently not present on this jaunt to the American Southwest. When Erika finds out Christof’s been unceremoniously dumped and is trying to keep it under wraps, she makes a deal to keep his secret…for a price, of course.
Christof is desperate to hold the rest of the band together after his keyboardist’s departure, but he can’t maintain the charade forever. Nor can he resist the opera house’s mysterious proprietor, who tempts him with midnight singing lessons. It isn’t long before sensuous nighttime interludes turn into smoldering backstage encounters.
But can their newly ignited passion survive the searing light of day? Or will their beautiful duet turn into a brokenhearted power ballad for one?

Advance Praise for Midnight Duet:
“Midnight Duet [is] a gender-swapped “Phantom of the Opera”―which means the heroine, delightfully, gets to play the villain’s role. Erika Greene is ambitious, brashly confident, hedonistic, sharp-tongued, and sexually demanding….The electricity between Christof and Erika is instant and explosive.” ―New York Times
-
“Charmingly bonkers.” ―Kirkus Reviews
-
“Comfort delivers a high-heat, high-volume contemporary romance…The spicy sex scenes titillate, and the plot is leavened with humor and unabashed silliness.” ―Publishers Weekly
My Review:
Book: Midnight Duet

Things to expect:
Gender-swapped “Phantom of the Opera”
Steamy
Dramatic
Perfect amount of Chaos
Have you ever wanted Phantom of the Opera, but the genders swapped? Well, Jen Comfort must have heard our cries and given us the chaos and steamy retelling that we needed... and OH-MY- why is this book not everywhere. It's a mix of what the musical is all about but adds a German metal band (which is just bonkers saying) and some spicy spicy scenes. I ate it up. The heat in this was on FIREEEEEE, which kept helping the plot move along. I enjoyed the cleverness that this brought, and I really enjoyed Jens's writing style. How she handled the character developed a story that so many of us know by heart, and love was made with so much care and research. Jen has done the justice needed to tell this story. Everyone should add this one to their list to pick up. I plan on picking up her duet novel and watching what she has in store next.
Thank you for the gifted copy Wunderbooks and the Jen Comfort. All opinion are my own.

AUTHOR
Jen discovered romance novels as a Very Cool (TM) teenager, when she volunteered at the local library after school (as Very Cool teens often do). At the time, the specific appeal was that they had way more sex in them than the Nancy Drew books she'd been reading... but she also loved the feminism, optimism, and unrelenting pursuit of happy ever after—even in the darkest times.
Determined to become a romance writer, Jen made the obvious decision to major in astrophysics. When that didn't work out (did you know they require you to do homework?), she got a degree in hospitality instead, then spent a decade managing restaurants in NYC and Portland before finally settling down to write.
She now lives in Portland, Oregon with her cat, a sassy husky-malamute, and a rotating collection of short-lived plants.
Jen is represented by the most excellent Eva Scalzo at Speilburg Literary agency.
