(3.5) Bumping a 1/2 star extra because as my first Nora Robert’s novel, I thought she is a great descriptive writer, with some good humor and dialogue.
This book was a little strange…I found myself more intrigued by the past storyline than the current day. The characters were enjoyable & relatable, but I found them trying to figure out their relationship was very repetitive.
Each chapter was like: work on house, flirty romance, ghost chatter and back around for 200 pages! Lol the book could’ve been shorted. I also wanted to love resolution of the past lives, but found it a little odd and in some places hard to follow. I did love the old house setting and imagery Nora provides throughout.

Sexy mystery in NOLA. Formula Nora Roberts, though pretty dark here and there. I found the end a little too weird.

Once again Nora Roberts delivers a fabulous story and complex characters.
There are certain books that just speak to me and this is one of them. The story drew me in from the very beginning and kept me hooked until the very last sentence. I figure this will become one of the few books that gets a re-read next year.

Nora Robert Midnight Bayou is a paranormal romance. Declan is a normal rich boy from Boston. He just cancelled his engagement to the girl of his parents dreams and bought an old plantation near New Orleans. There he is greeted by his friend, Remy, the ghost staying in his home, and a beautiful girl, Angelina. What is a man to do when he is being tormented by both ghosts and a girl who he is falling for...hard?

I think this just displaced Montana Sky in my pantheon of favorite NR books. Declan is an undeniable dreamboat and I love the house porn.

Thoughts 💭
Unfortunately, I went into this novel blind so to speak. None of the reviews I skimmed had any mention of the events of Chapter 1. If you are someone that is not able to handle detailed Sexual Assault in novels, please do NOT read Chapter 1 or when the events start to take shape in the direction of SA skip to the end of the chapter. It's very easy for someone to get the gist of what happens without having to read the details.
I don't think my mind and body will come back from reading the detailed assault in Chapter 1 to try and complete the book. So please be warned, do more research than I did.

long before I had heard about Nora Roberts I had come across two movies of hers Midnight Bayou and Carolina Moon. I instantly fell in love with the movies not knowing that Nora was an author (I was a young teenager at the time, My school library did not have her work). A few years later I found out that the movies that had become favorites were actually books. Me being a book nerd was ecstatic. I love this book. I love the characters and Nora's writing style. I have the hardback edition which makes this book look like a large one. It was so good that I finished it one night. I could not put it down!!
