It has been a while since I read this book. I remember that I couldn't put it down. I tend to be very critical of books about Louisiana and particularly New Orleans. This book was as real a it gets. She portrays New Orleans in a truthful manner. I really loved this book. Read straigt for two days and nights. Literally couldn't put it down.

This is a real page turner!

From the first page until the last, I couldn't put this book down. Part contemporary romance, part historical, part mystery, Ms. Ware skillfully wove the elements together into a marvelous read. It's obvious she has researched New Orleans' past and present extensively and thus gives the reader an understanding of the city's unique personality, the rich backdrop for an intricate tale with fascinating characters. I can't wait for the sequel

One of the year's best

Midnight on Julia Street knocked my socks off! I loved the heroine, and the descriptions of New Orleans made me want to book a flight right away. I learned a lot about the city and its history, but best of all, it was a totally fun read.

A Refreshing Look at Life and Love in New Orleans

I loved this mixture of a present-day love story, an insight into the workings of cultural politics, and a unique view of the history of pre-Civil War New Orleans. The history in particular opens up new doors because we get a chance to see the growth and development of the Old South from the intriguing perspective of women and minorities who contributed to that world along with the "dead white men" -- whose participation many mistakenly believe to be the whole story. Beautifully researched, this book provides insights into two distinct Louisiana worlds: the world of the past and that of the present; and it weaves the two together with two sexy and sassy love stories. The method of spiritually linking the two together may seem a bit strange to some; but as a literary device, it works very well. The book is briskly written and just drags you along. It's a fun read.

A solidly satisfynig summer read

Romance novels are not my usual fare, but in this case the title was so interesting, I bought the book anyway--and discovered a fascinating historical novel woven through and around a present day romance. Not only does the author capture New Orleans in sight, smell and attitude, she deftly peels back layer upon layer of history and culture, from the Free People of Color who lived and prospered in New Orleans before the Civil War to the present day struggle between preservationists and developers. In the process she holds a mirror to current society which makes it all the more believeable. The result is a book that offers something for everyone--a modern romance with a sassy TV reporter for a heroine intertwined with the thoughtful development of a historical novel. I can't speak for how well it reads as a romance, but as a historical, it's a keeper.
