Publisher's summary

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...

Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery.

What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she's ever had - including Roz's son Harper. To Hayley's delight, her new daughter Lily has really taken to him. But to Hayley's chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper - as much more than a friend.

If Hayley gives in to her desire, she's afraid the foundation she's built with Harper will come tumbling down. Especially since she's begun to suspect that her feelings are no longer completely her own.

Flashes of the past and erratic behavior make Hayley believe that the Harper Bride has found a way inside of her mind and body. It's time to put the Bride to rest once and for all, so Hayley can know her own heart again - and whether she's willing to risk it...

Flowers

I read this trilogy years ago. I like it as a trilogy. it is not too heavy. Each book can stand alone if you only want the romances, but you have to listen/read all of them to know the answer to the mystery.

perfect end to a great trilogy

Red Lily was the perfect end to a great trilogy by Nora Roberts. I enjoyed all three In The Garden Books. This one was a little more graphic than the others but not so much as to but you off the book just a little more than the others. If you read the first two then you have to read Red Lily it wraps things up for the series and gives you even more information about the Harper Bride.

Love it

this series is fabulous . each book gets better and better. I would definitely read it again .

Wonderful ending

What did you love best about Red Lily?

I love how well everything was wrapped up in the end. There were no lingering questions.

What about Susie Breck’s performance did you like?

Susie was wonderful. All of her lead female characters had such distinct voices that there was never a question about who was speaking. And her southern drawl was like butter.

Any additional comments?

It's been a long time since I've read or listened to anything by Nora Roberts. This was a great reintroduction!

Nora Roberts delivered!

I love her! the narrator does a great job with the emotion in the story

Love this book also

I love how these 3 women stayed together and solved the sadness on another woman. And again learned about flowers

Red lily

Wonderful story. did not want to end. the three books were great love them all

Great Series

Romance part predictable. The story itself kept you listening. Enjoyed the series, Nora always does a great job. Most are so predictable its hard to listen to after second book, not the case with this one. I only reviewed last book since it was a series. No regrets on purchase, buy it you wont be sorry.

Great finale

I enjoyed the first book and was thrilled when I found out there were two more. By the third book a lot of series start to run out of steam, but not this one. Nora Roberts did a great job of telling a good ghost story without the book getting cheesy or over the top. It wasn't just a ghost story though. It was the story about three women finding their way in this world. It flowed very well and was fun to listen to.

Great Series

I loved this series. I like Nora Roberts, but I really like this collection of characters
