Harper Ashby and Hayley Phillips have been circling around their attraction for each other for quite awhile now. Neither wants to ruin the special friendship they have established, but both crave for something more. The chance to love each other is there and they are going to grab it with both hands. Along with Hayley's young daughter Lily, Harper and Hayley start to form a family. However, all is not right at Harper House. Amelia, the ghostly presence that has lived in the house since the late 1890s is getting more violent, more unpredictable. She's been taking over Hayley's body, using Hayley in order to get her story across. It's taking a heavy toll on Hayley, along with Roz and Stella and company. This close knit group must find a way to rid Harper House forever of Amelia's ghost, while also providing a fitting ending for a woman who was treated shabbily in life. Can they do it, or is Amelia destined to haunt Harper House forever? Red Lily is the fabulous conclusion for Nora Roberts latest trilogy. This is a truly creepy novel, more so in my opinion than previous Roberts' trilogies have been. The way Amelia subtly and slyly takes over Hayley's body is spooky to read about, but is counterbalanced nicely by the blooming relationship between Hayley and Harper. Also enjoyable for this reader was catching up with the other tenants of Harper House. This is by far the best of the three stories, and even if you weren't all that thrilled by Blue Dahlia and Black Rose, as I myself wasn't, I think you'll find Red Lily to be a fast-paced, and action packed romance that definitely shows off Ms. Roberts romance talent once again. All in all, this is suspenseful and romantic tale that will keep you on the edge with the mystery surrounding Amelia.Read full review

This is the third book of the In The Garden trilogy. It revolves around three women all at different stages in their lives who are brought together. Each book is one of their stories and this one is of the youngest. The main character Hayley is a brave, inspiring single mother who is lucky enough to wind up at Harper House and to become a part of the "family". Roberts does a great job making the characters feelings and behaviors age appropriate. Its nice how when Robert's writes a trilogy the other characters weave themselves throughout the entire series. I must admit when I started with the first book I couldn't find a purpose for Hayley's character. Roberts puts characters in books for a reason and now that I have finished it all makes perfect sence and she wove them all together perfectly. Makes me want to plant some flowers. Very recommended.Read full review
I decided to buy this book due to reading many of her other books and falling in love with her writing style. She creates thought provoking masterpieces when she writes about one of her many loves (the paranormal). And in this trilogy she "once again" delivers us into a world full of excitement and pulse racing drama. There are not many authors who make me want to put off a trip to the bathroom just to be able to finish a chapter. This and her Key trilogy as well as her Irish trilogy are my favorite pieces of her amazing work. I reccomend them all.
I bought this particular book for a friend. I am always looking for hard to find books as well as the popular titles. I love e bay, it's very easy and i have bought many things for friends and family as well as myself. When i want something i choose e bay. I like the comfort of shopping online and the great amount of items to choose from. It is fun and easy to bid from the comfort of my home. I have bought a wide array of items from Jewlery, to clothes, to fish finders and binoculars etc. I surely must be e bays best customer.
