Red Lily (In the Garden book 3)

by Nora Roberts.

The last in the trilogy wraps up the mystery of the ghost and brings together Harper and Hayley. Hayley is plagued by possession by the ghost which adds a very interesting twist and helps us to learn more about the ghost.

I enjoyed the series, probably this last book the best of all of them.

Black Rose (In the Garden book 2)

by Nora Roberts.

The second from the In the Garden series. This one focuses on the relationship between Rosalind and the guy she hires to look into her family history. They are trying to solve the mystery of the ghost. The ghost gets much more active in this book as we start to learn a lot more about her feelings!

Blue Dahlia (In the Garden book 1)

by Nora Roberts.

No mystery in this series - a bit of a ghost story which adds some interest but mostly I like this series because of the 3 strong female characters and their interactions with each other. It's the start of a family in book one and watching that family grow, plus I enjoy the garden references which I think will get stronger in book 2 since it's about Roz who owns the nursery. Book 1 is about Stella who has 2 young boys was widowed 4 years ago (the first few chapters were very rough living through that part of her life with her). She unexpectedly finds herself in love with a man who is the complete opposite of her but who loves her and her boys so what can she do :)

I look forward to reading the next 2 in the series but FIRST i HAVE to read the new Jayne Castle "Obsidian Prey" which is a Harmony/Arcane Society cross over and I've been waiting for it!
