Summary
Infinity: Detroit Nights is a historical action romance by Catalina Dubois from her Infinity series. The series is about Matthaios and Sara. They are cursed by Eris to endure an infinity of mortal lifetimes as star-crossed lovers.
Detroit Nights is set during the 1930s in Detroit, Michigan. Their story begins when Matthew is kidnapped by gangsters and forced to brew illegal alcohol led by Tony Caferno. His girlfriend, Sarah, didn’t have a good first encounter with Matthew. He is the embodiment of everything she hated: southern, a racist, and an idiot. Matthew feels the same way; she is the exact opposite of his ideal woman. But under dangerous circumstances, they form an attraction that they can’t deny.
Review
So far, this is the sixth book I have read from the Infinity series, and I love each and every one of them! While Detroit Nights is still considered historical fiction, I would say that it has the most modern feel to it because it’s a mobster story. There are cars, guns, and phones, unlike the other books where one of them is set as far as ancient Egypt.
What I love the most about it, is the tension between Matthew and Sarah and the struggle of keeping their own feelings to themselves because they can’t be together. Amongst the other books, this has the most heart fluttering moments, and it is the most relatable because it is closer to the modern-day. There are so many things that made my heart race, not just because of the romantic attraction between Matthew and Sarah, but also because of the very entertaining moments like when Matthew and Tony watched baseball, and when the two groups of notorious gangsters clashed.
Overall, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. Awesome storyline. Fascinating characters. Great beginning, great ending, great world building, and most importantly, it also talks about human values and Christianity. This is a standalone that will entertain readers from beginning to end! I highly recommend this book to mature readers who love mobster stories.
Warning: This book contains violence, offensive language, and references to human trafficking.

Infinity: Detroit Nights is one of those rare novels that doesn’t just tell a story, it reaches inside you, grips your heart, and refuses to let go. From the haunting stillness of the Louisiana bayou to the dangerous streets of 1930s Detroit, Catalina DuBois paints a world so vivid you can smell the moonshine, feel the tension in every whispered secret, and ache with every impossible choice her characters face.
Matthew is not written to be “likable”, he is written to be real, shaped by poverty, trauma, and the harsh beliefs of his time. Watching his worldview unravel as he collides with the fierce, unapologetically powerful Sarah is nothing short of breathtaking. Their chemistry is electric, not because it is romantic, but because it is honest. Their love story is forbidden, gritty, and emotionally devastating in all the best ways. Sarah, in particular, is one of the most compelling female leads I’ve encountered in historical fiction: weapon in hand, spine of steel, heart of fire, and a protector of women in a world built to break them.
What makes this novel extraordinary is DuBois’ refusal to shy away from truth. She blends racism, gang warfare, morality, survival, and passion with fearless storytelling. Some scenes are raw enough to hurt. Others feel like witnessing history from the inside. And through it all, Detroit itself becomes a living, breathing character, merciless, seductive, and full of opportunity and danger.
This is not just historical romance. It is literary courage, bold, unfiltered, beautifully layered. It challenges assumptions, humanizes the “villains,” and proves that love, no matter how inconvenient or taboo, can ignite revolutions inside the soul.
Infinity: Detroit Nights is the kind of book readers will discuss, cherish, and return to. It doesn’t just entertain, it lingers. It wounds. It heals. And it cements Catalina DuBois as a storyteller of rare depth and unshakable talent.
A masterpiece of heart, history, and defiance.

Whoa! Romance. Action
I normally don’t like to read historical fiction but this was engaging, entertaining, and just fun. Sarah and Matthew are a great couple and love their character development, especially Matthew.

I love this author's style of writing and the fact that this is a fast-paced historical thriller that sucks you in and keeps you reading. Very well-developed characters, the fact that the woman is a strong lead, and that there is a ton of action and great dialogue has me waiting for the next read.

From the very first chapters, Detroit Nights delivers emotion, tension, and incredible depth. Catalina DuBois captures the pain and resilience of her characters so vividly that it feels like living through their struggles alongside them. This story has soul, pure and powerful.

There’s something sacred about Detroit Nights. It’s the kind of book that makes you question what love, loyalty, and forgiveness really mean. I didn’t just read Matthew and Sarah’s story, I felt it in my chest. Catalina DuBois didn’t write a romance; she wrote a revolution of hearts.

I can’t remember the last time fictional characters felt this real. Matthew, Sarah, Tony, they all carried their pain like people I’ve known. Detroit Nights is full of grit and tenderness, rage and love, all tangled together in a way that left me completely undone.

This isn’t just historical fiction, it’s a masterpiece of emotion. The chemistry between Matthew and Sarah is electric, but what really struck me is how Catalina DuBois captured loneliness and hope in a single breath. I don’t think I’ll ever read another story quite like this one.
October 8, 2025
Detroit Nights pulled me in right from the start. The way Catalina DuBois brings Matthew’s world to life, the heartbreak, the family bond, the raw fight to survive, is unforgettable. It’s rare to feel this connected to a story so early on.
