Summary: Grossly disappointed
Review: I have been buying her books since she started out with the monthly paperbacks; I pick up her hardcovers frequently. I think the book was an insult to her normal writing; usually her suspence is excellent and when you start to read a book, you don't want to put it down. The ending was rediculous; men having babies; don't think so. Would like to see a revision, with a new ending. Wrote a short note on this book in January; forgot to rate; deninitely didn't want any misunderstanding. It isn't worth even a l.

Summary: Disappointed w/Nora Roberts Midnight Bayou
Review: will be very short; Nora Roberts is one of my favorite writers;
have never been as disappointed as i was with Midnight Bayou.
The ending was not believable and left you unsatisfied; hopefully this is a fluke because i buy a lot of her hardcover books. prior to the ending, the plot and story were enjoyable; but with a bad ending, it leaves a bad taste.

Summary: Keep 'em coming Nora!
Review: Having lived in the South and spent time in and around the New Orleans area I loved the "feel" of this book! What a dream it would be to find a plantation house like that and restore it! I loved Declan! He wasn't arrogant or self-centered but instead a caring man and a true gentleman! In spite of his wealth he was down to earth, sexy, with a core of steel and a great sense of humour! Lena was tough and independent on the outside but inside vulnerable and afraid to trust. Odette was a hoot, as was Remy. This was a different plot for Nora but she handled it well. My only complaint was the ending was somewhat abrupt and without the drama I expected.

Summary: This book is Fantastic
Review: Midnight Bayou
Nora RobertsDeclan Fitzgerald leaves his job as a Boston lawyer to buy a house--Manet Hall--that he first discovered in New Orleans 11 years ago. The house hasn't been lived in for some time and needs renovation. Declan finds his joy in restoring the old mansion. There's a sad history to the mansion, however, and Declan begins to experience strange dreams and starts sleepwalking. He finds himself terrified to enter one of the rooms on the third floor. Declan meets Lena, the owner of a small bar in down town New Orleans. He is immediately attracted to her and thinks, "at last" the first time he sees her. Lena and Declan are both linked to the history of Manet Hall as well as to each other. Lena's grandmother lives behind Manet Hall and Declan befriends her. She is a wonderful character. Declan has a terrific personality and sense of humor. This is definitely one of my favorite Nora Robert's books. Being interested in reincarnation and past lives added to the flavor. I must admit I was surprised when I discovered what the subject of the book was but I think Ms. Roberts handled it in a believable manner. Definitely a keeper.

Summary: Don't buy the Bayou
Review: I am a huge Nora Roberts fan. I think I own practically every book she has written and have loved almost all of them. However, I found this book to be a HUGE disappointment. It is so incredibly boring that I couldn't wait for it to just be over.There is no suspense to the story as the plot is obvious in the first 40 pages. This follows her rather annoying second in a series paperback book about the 3 witches. I do hope this isn't a trend for her, because one more of this vein and I won't be buying her books again.

Summary: MIDNIGHT ...
Review: This was one of THE WORST books that I have read all year. It had got my attention because of my love of New Orleans and period piece books, but this was just awful. The first seven pages had me in disbelief that a well known author could write something so
awful. It was like she woke up and decided to write about southern plantation life and reincarnation-without doing any research. Everything was so obvious in the first chapter, she included the typical idea of people of the south are usually portrayed; with balls and slaves! I wouldn't recommend this book, if you want to read a romace stick to Daniel Steel!

Summary: Midnight Bayou Falls Well Short of Expectations
Review: I have read a ton of Nora Roberts' books, and I had high hopes that this one would be as great as some of her previous works. While I do find her books a bit formulaic, they are still entertaining. However, this one was just not as good as her previous books in the same romance/suspense genre, such as Sanctuary and River's End. Her female character was rather flat and undeveloped throughout the novel. The entire book seemed like a remix of various stock characters from earlier novels, mixed and matched to provide a new story. The ending lacked her usual unexpected twist, and if you have seen the movie "Dead Again" you will guess it long before it occurs. I really expected a little more originality from Nora on this one, but that was expecting too much.

Summary: Yuck!!!!
Review: I almost always give a book a three star rating even when I think it is really bad. I guess I just think that all books deserve at least that. So, when I gave this one a one star rating (and I would have given it a zero if possible) you know I really disliked it. I don't mind the reincarnation aspect but the gender change just totally ruined the entire book for me and badly enough to give it a one star. I love all of this author's other books and have most of them. The last few have been on a downhill slide. I just hope this trend doesn't continue for her. Like the others that were disappointed in this book, I know I will be checking her book jackets for the scoop before I buy another one of her books.

Summary: Nora is 'da bomb.
Review: While ghost stories aren't my preferred reading material, I usually read anything written by Nora Roberts. Nora has a way of writing male characters that makes them believeable and yet fit the romance archetype. Declan Fitzgerald is no exception! Although I was dubious at first, Nora writes a great reincarnation story. (I won't go into detail, as I don't want to spoil readers with the surprise, but suffice to say it is quite a plot twist, Grin). My favorite character in the book was Remy who steals the show with his 'southern charm.' If I could suggest improvement, I wish Declan wasn't another 'rich unmarried bachelor.' I'd like to see Nora write more about handsome dynamic men of average means... And leave the trustfund babies for authors who can't write... Overall A_+++ keep 'em coming Nora!!!
