New Orleans Nights is a two-book series by Callie Hart set in the atmospheric backdrop of New Orleans. Road to Ruin, published in 2017, brings Hart’s dark romance sensibility to the Louisiana setting with its mix of danger and passion. Bayou Midnight, originally published in 1987, is the earlier of the two and has a very different feel given the decades between the books.

The New Orleans setting ties the two books together, but the gap in publication dates means they read quite differently from each other. Road to Ruin reflects Hart’s more modern dark romance approach, while Bayou Midnight comes from an earlier era of romance writing. Readers interested in Hart’s use of Southern settings will find both worth checking out.
