Midnight by Cala Riley ARC Review

✨️ARC Read✨️

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Spice:🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

HEA:❤️❤️❤️/3

Initial Take: Lainey & Midnight are a match made in heaven. This story left me swooning from the very beginning.

Midnight is a devoted father to twin girls. The only problem? Their mother is manipulative and uses the girls as a pawn.

Until one day she just drops the girls and disappears.

Lainey is a scared girl trying to make ends meet when she is dragged by her roommate to the Lotus MC Clubhouse under the guise that it's a different type of club.

Midnight sees her fear and jumps in to rescue her. He helps her at every turn. She starts working for him at his tattoo shop and shortly after his daughters are dropped at the shop by their mother and left in the care of Lainey. #arcreview #calariley #mcromance #bookreview

Not only is there instant chemistry with Midnight, but Lainey's maternal instincts kick into overdrive.

You will quickly fall head over heels for Lainey, Midnight and his twin girls.

2025/4/22 Edited to
