Against the backdrop of a house steeped in history and a thriving new gardening business, three women unearth the memories of the past in the first novel in 1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts' In the Garden Trilogy.

A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night… Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz Harper has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing In the Garden nursery.

As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and expectant mother Hayley and a fierce attraction to ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge. Roz Harper is a woman who has lived life on her own terms. She had dearly loved her first husband. After his death, she had thrown herself into raising their boys, and then into making a business out of her passion for gardening.

Roz likes her life just as it is, and it would take a very special man to convince her to take that leap of faith into love again.

A man like Dr. Mitchell Carnegie, the genealogist she's hired to research the origins of the family ghost, known as the Harper Bride. Mitch and Roz are drawn together from the start. You are going to appreciate the fact that the author addressed issues such as true love and friendship and also portrayed their importance as well.

She shortened her first name and surname to create the pen name Nora Roberts. Nora Roberts doesn't seem to have an upcoming book.

Their newest book is The Magic Circle and was released on December, 28th It is the newest book in the The Donovan Legacy Series. Home » Author » Nora Roberts. I have every book up to She a amazing writer,and my goal is to collect all of her books. Thank you for taking the time to list all the books and break them into the ones that are sets. I absolutely love Nora Roberts books and have nearly all of them. I was thrilled to find a signed copy while perusing a second hand store.

Irish Thoroughbred was the first one I read and loved. The Circle Trilogy might very well be my favorite.

I just love Cian! Hopefully one day soon I will be able to visit the Inn Boonsboro and I would love to travel to Ireland too. Some years ago, I read a few of Ms. She is an incredible and prolific writer; one who is able to project thought and word into emotion and wisdom. Her novels are positive in human spirit. Thank you. Nora Roberts is amazing. It is unreal that she has published so many books over such a short time. I have written a book, Driving Blindfolded, that took over six years to write.

It chronicles the ups and downs of Bipolar Illness. Susie Breck's narration of the audiobook makes it easier to slog through the boring sections. Hayley and Harper's story is next and I hope it will be an improvement on the first two books. The first book in this series, "The Blue Dahlia" sets up the whole story line and it was good. However, this one was outstanding and continues the mystery of the ghost named "The Harper Bride.

I love the Southern lifestyle and flavor of the book. There were some killer lines, delivered with panache and style, that reminded me of Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess Violet Cr Re-reading. There were some killer lines, delivered with panache and style, that reminded me of Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess Violet Crawley's character in Downton Abbey.

Just terrific stuff! I thoroughly enjoyed this book that I first read 11 years go.

For one thing, the heroine is 46 or 47, and how often do you see a romance heroine of that age?

Huzzah for middle-aged representation! Review to come. Nov 29, Ahmed Ismail rated it liked it. This one is better than the first book of the series. And, of course it's a great book, it's Nora Roberts. There have been very few experiences with her stories where I have been left disappointed.

And I've never been disappointed in her trilogies. She writes characters that I want to spend the next thirty years hanging out with. Roz, our heroine, is a widow with three grown boys.

She remarried and regretted it and that comes back to haunt her just as much as Amelia do This book is a great second installment from the In the Garden trilogy.

She remarried and regretted it and that comes back to haunt her just as much as Amelia does. I love how she handled that whole situation. The bathroom scene will forever be one of the greats for me.

Aside from the failed marriage and reappearance of the ex, Roz is currently employing Dr. Mitchell Carnegie a genealogist to help with their search for Amelia. And, in the way that Nora does best, Roz and Mitch discover that they are mutually attracted to one another. And Amelia decides to take offense to that, causing many disruptions with her hauntings. However, that doesn't dissuade Roz and Mitch from one another.

I love quite a few things that weren't the main focus of the story. I loved that Roz was willing to help out her cousin Jane regardless on if Jane helped her in return. And I loved that Harper didn't want to see his mother get hurt like she did in her past marriage. And I loved that Mitch didn't find it insulting to have Harper have a conversation about his mother.

And I loved that Roz and Mitch weren't Nora's typical male and female lead. I loved that they were slightly older Roz even talks about being a honorary grandmother to Lily and that's the cutest thing ever. Ok, I don't know what to say about this. I really enjoyed the first installment in the series, but this I was bored the whole time, even wishing for it to end. I must admit that it has been the worst romance book I had ever read.

I didn't like a thing about it. First, Robert's writing style in this book is horrible. You never get to really understand how the characters feel because she uses a very impersonal way for describing the ev Ok, I don't know what to say about this. You never get to really understand how the characters feel because she uses a very impersonal way for describing the events that develop.

She uses the same tone when the characters are insanely happy or about to kill someone due to frustration. For this reason the reading becomes really tedious. But what was worst was that the relationship between the two characters never really felt real.

I never really liked Roz as much as to read her own story. I mean I liked her but as a secondary character. The doctor was fine, maybe if we could have seen more of his POV the story would have been a bit better.

And the ghost part in this book Crazy ghost lady flying everywhere, talking as a person and throwing things in the air as choking people I didn't even enjoyed the paranormal side of the book. I'm so disappointed because I really liked the first book and I wanted to enjoy this one as much, but not even close.

Roz has other problems, too, as her ex-husband from her brief and disastrous second marriage comes back to town and starts messing with her, as well, taking out credit cards in her name, attempting to cancel her country club membership, and other equally juvenile attempts to get under her skin. She is a mature, intelligent woman with her feet firmly planted on the ground, and while things upset her, nothing really riles her. Even when things do get to her, she prefers to be alone to deal with them.

She is easily my favorite Nora Roberts heroine in a long time. Standing alone, this book would do well. As the second installment of a trilogy, it sucked me right back in, and had me hurrying to pick up the next installment to see what would happen next.

Fortunately, I just happened to have Red Lily ready and waiting! I was going to give this a 4 or 4. Anyway, I'm liking these new covers for this trilogy. Its just so beautiful and cozy and garden like, which makes sense. I like how with each book, you get the know the characters as the book focuses on them, with the Harper bride ghost and of course the romance.

I don't read that much romance books. Except maybe now and then. This is one of those that I like to read when I'm eit I was going to give this a 4 or 4. This is one of those that I like to read when I'm either in a reading slump or want something different to read. I like how Roz is strong but at the same time is likeable. Also Mitch is adorable and you get why Roz likes him. This was a pretty good sequel and looking forward to the next and last one in this trilogy. Dec 08, Erin Lee rated it it was amazing Shelves: direct-recommendations.

This is, by far, my favorite of all the Nora Roberts books I have read. I adore the ghost story intertwined with the story of the protagonist's family and personal life. All too often ghost stories only have the characters as they are in death, but this book, the second installment in a trilogy, shows who the woman was when she lived and before she died and became a spectral being.

Can't wait to see how the author will conclude this storyline! Jun 19, Tina "IRead2Escape" rated it liked it Shelves: contemporary-romance , part-of-a-series , paranormal-supernatural.
