Advent Calendar Day 5: After Midnight by Sarah Grimm + Giveaway!

Welcome to the 5th day of Book Lovers Inc Advent Calendar. Each day we will offer you one great read in a giveaway on all 24 days till Christmas.

Today you will have the chance to win a copy of After Midnight, by Sarah Grimm, one of my favorite reads of 2011. After Midnight is an emotional, beautifully constructed contemporary romance about Isabeau Montgomery, a piano virtuoso who has had a tragic life and Noah Clark, a famous rock musician. I quickly became captivated by Ms. Grimm’s vivid descriptive prose and exemplary characterization. Noah is 41, has learned from his fame and has matured. His persistence while wooing Isabeau along with his compassion and tenderness toward her is extremely touching. I found reading about their journey toward eventual happiness to be unique and memorable. This book quickly found it’s way to my keeper shelf. 🙂
