A former Las Vegas showgirl, the flamboyant sixtysomething bombshell never lacks for curveballs. Her latest idea is that she and India hightail it out of Colorado Springs and hit the road for Sin City in her turquoise ’57 Thunderbird.

Publisher's summary
Two converging mysteries compel a woman’s search for the truth in a captivating novel about loss, love, family, and healing by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.
Biographer Ellie Connor is in Gideon, Texas, to research blues singer Mabel Beauvais who, on the verge of fame, mysteriously disappeared more than forty years ago. Gideon holds another mystery for Ellie. It’s the truth about her parents—a restless mother who died young and a father she never knew. They are an unsettled piece of Ellie’s own past. Somewhere in this town is the answer to both of her quests.
No one is more accommodating than charismatic Laurence “Blue” Reynard, a local with deep roots in Gideon. Sexy and charming, he’s also getting under Ellie’s skin like a smooth jazz rhythm. Yet beneath his seductive facade is a soul damaged by loss. Tragic, wanting, and beautiful. So wrong for a woman just passing through town. If only his passion and vulnerability weren’t so irresistible.
As Ellie pieces together Mabel’s puzzling life and that of her father, Blue takes the surprising journey with her. What then for Ellie? Follow her instincts and say goodbye, or follow her heart?
Revised edition: This edition of In the Midnight Rain includes editorial revisions.

Riverbend, Texas, doesn’t look like the crossroads of anywhere. But for four high school besties reuniting after twenty years, it’s a place to unpack a lot of baggage. Risa’s headed for divorce, Mary Nell’s been kicked to the curb by her leech of a boyfriend, and Haley was just blindsided by a shocking family secret. But restless army veteran Jessica Callaway, looking to plant roots, has an idea: corral her fellow former cheerleaders and renovate an abandoned church smack-dab in the middle of three dry counties into a bar.

A wonderful story
I had the book in my kindle for years and decided it was time to start reading the stuff I had. I started listening by Audible during work days few days ago. It took me 3 days to fully complete. I really enjoyed this book. Within a few chapters I got sucked into the story and the characters. I enjoyed the plot - from the mystery to steamy romance. I will be definitely recommending story to others to listen to.

Going home to the south.
The voices carried me back to my time in the South; The fragrance of gardenias, the night noises, and the taste of hometown cooking. Remembering how young love over powers the mind and body. Like going back home.

Another Winner
Ms. O’ Neal has done it again! Another beautifully written novel filled with broken men and women, secrets, passion and all kinds of love. The only bone I have to pick with Ms. O’Neal is that Southern women do not fry chicken in bacon grease. I say this with some degree of authority since I am one and no one I ever knew ever cooked chicken that way.

Incredible performance by the actors!
Wow. Blue and Ellie. They had a love, connection and a passion some people only dream of attaining during their life, although things got complicated for them they eventually found themselves together. I think there might be a book two wink wink Barbara O’Neal. Lol 😘😘
