Book Intro: Midnight Bayou, by Nora Roberts

I'll admit, I've never been a romance novel fan. But if I was never a mystery fan and liked the number one admitted author of that category, then I think a fair place to start would be Nora Roberts for a romance novel. I also can't help but love the toss in of some paranormal aspects that are supposed to be present in this book either.

So from now on I'll be delving into a New Orleans romance novel, featuring some ghostly apparitions!


Midnight Bayou
By
Nora Roberts

"Declan Fitzgerald had always been the family maverick, but even he couldn't understand his impulse to buy a dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of New Orleans. All he knew was that ever since he first saw Manet Hall, he'd been enchanted-and obsessed-with it. So when the opportunity to buy the house comes up, Declan jumps at the chance to live out a dream.
Determined to restore Manet Hall to its former splendor, Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room, relying on his own labor and skills. But the days spent in total isolation in the empty house take a toll. He is seeing visions of days from a century past, and experiencing sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief-sensations not his own, but those of a stranger. Local legend has it that the house is haunted, and with every passing day Declan's belief in the ghostly presence grows.
Only the companionship of alluring Angelina Simone can distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house, but Angelina too has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall-a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years."
I'm not sure how I'll like it, but hey I'm intrigued! If anything I will say I'm excited for some good ol' Louisiana cooking for this month, so stay tuned and catch whatever I'll be whipping up for food tomorrow, and whatever else may come throughout the month!
