About this listen
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?

“Narrators Meg Sylvan and Hunter Millbrook bring sparks to Comfort's (The Astronaut and the Star) sexy yet wacky romantic comedy.… Sylvan's impressions of Erika and Sibylle, Christof's sister and Nachtmusik's bassist, are a delight. Almost everything Erika says is tinged with confidence and sarcasm, while Sibylle's obsession with the occult is played for laughs. Millbrook vocalizes a version of Sibylle and the remaining members of Nachtmusik, including Christof, with pitch-perfect comedic timing. Sylvan's sultry take complements the leads' erotic chemistry. Even naysayers of the insta-love trope will root for Erika and Christof to have their happily ever after.”—Library Journal, starred review
“Meg Sylvan and Hunter Millbrook combine their narration talents in this story of love and betrayal—filled with references to Broadway.…Sylvan captures Erika's frustration and delicious sarcasm, while Millbrook masterfully balances the band members' voices and German accents. With two wonderful narrators, this audiobook becomes a fun romance to listen to more than once.”—AudioFile Magazine
“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
