Summary: Always fun
Review: I've always found Nora Roberts' books to be fun, enjoyable, and great reads, and she doesn't disappoint with this one. The characters are so well written you can hear their speech and accents in your head, and find yourself sympathizing and truly caring about them. Miss Odette and Remy really steal the show with their southern charm and interesting personalities. And the twist that Roberts works into the ghost story this purports to be makes for a great time, and a lot of fun. Overall, really enjoyable - it definitely brought a smile to my face a lot as I was reading.

Summary: Loved It - Couldn't Put It Down
Review: This is not the type of book I would ordinarily read but I like Nora Roberts so thought I would give it a try. I was captivated from the beginning. It was full of suspense and had a different twist near the end.

Summary: I Couldn't Put it Down
Review: I will admit I am not a big fan of "romance" novels of any sort. That is until one day when I had nothing else to read, picked up my sisters book she had left at my house and started reading and I have read her ever since.
Midnight Bayou is well written and Nora brings the characters to life. A must read.

Summary: An engaging, intriguing read.
Review: This is my first Nora Roberts book. I don't usually read romance novels but this was recommended by a book club and I like ghost stories so I gave it a read. I was quite pleasantly suprised. An old mansion with secrets untold, likeable characters and spicy romance. It is a definite page-turner. I kept wondering how it would end and was frankly a little disappointed by what I considered to be a weak ending. However, this didn't take away from the great trip getting there. A fast, enjoyable book.

Summary: Gave me a craving for filet gumbo
Review: I'm a BIG fan of JD Robb, Nora Roberts' alter ego. And I also love books set in the South. I've read MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN... so many times I can quote it. This is a good book, but there are too many repeat "scares"--going in "the haunted room", passing out there, going to bed and waking up in "the haunted room". Ms. Roberts takes her time setting up the hauntings and throws in a little hot sex to keep us turning the pages. But I wanted Declan to actually MEET one of the tortured ghosts. Or call a "housecleaner" to chase them out once and for all. Do SOMETHING besides pant over Lena and sand and stain kitchen cabinets. She also fleshes out her characters very well. I liked the idea that Declan has the moral backbone that Roarke lacks. But I got the feeling that everyone in the book knew what was going on in the house and were waiting for Declan to catch up.
When he finally does "catch up" the premise of who he was in a past life is so silly I would have stopped reading then and there if it wasn't so close to the end of the book. Declan did seem rather over-emotional throughout the book, but let's just say he really gets in touch with his feminine side toward the end of the book. This is a good book to read on the patio in the summer with a nice glass of minted iced tea...

Summary: Reincartation and Romance
Review: Declan Fitzgerald is too good and too young to be true. At 31 with great family connections in Boston, all the money he needs to give up a law practice that he didn't really want and an ex-fiancee that he didn't marry he could hops in his car and drives to New Orleans to rennovate a 100 year old mansion that he bought complete with ghosts capable of banging doors as music plays, a baby cries, and old hatreds cause a true chill in the air even in the heat of a New Orleans springtime. A trip into a bar in the French Quarter shakes up his life and expectations as he meets Remy who is everything a romance novel could demand. She is tough, sexy and independent and a product of the Bayou. Actually she is a direct descendent of the family who lived and died so violently in the old mansion that Declan is rennovating. Declan sees visions of things that went on in the house before him which left Rose Marie an orphan. Rose Marie is the great great great gandmother of Remy of couse. It's an imaginative story about the supernatural and the here and now coming together. At the end Remy and Declan solve all the mysteries but the reader is left wondering just how it is that the ghosts are laid to rest. Even with a weak ending, it was a fun read.

Summary: pretty bad
Review: I had high expectations when I purchased this overpriced hardcover book, that wasn't worth the discount price I got it for. Usually I only buy paperbacks. The characters of Lena and Declan were awful. Declan was weak and Lena had this fake "bad girl" attitude. What's with the overuse of the word "cher"? Lena just got to be annoying. Declan was just pathetic. I couldn't get into the last half of the book and found myself flipping through the pages just to finish it. The overall storyline wasn't that bad. The whole ghost and reincarnation aspect was pretty interesting and different, but these characters were awful and unbelievable. It got a 2 stars(instead of a 1) because of the potential with the storyline. ...

Summary: A question
Review: I picked up this book because the plot seemed intriguing, just my type of story, New Orleans and ghosts. I didn't find Lena too appealing, and the ending was definitely too abrupt. What was that all about? Ms. Roberts, please read these negative reviews! I was disappointed because it could have been better. My question: I thought Lucien and Julian killed each other with a knife, then later they said that Lucian drowned himself. Did I miss something?
