I am a huge fan of Nora! She is my favorite authors for trilogy's. I usually read all three books if avavlible in a matter of days. Thsi series is so unique using the flower as a matphor for the character, wonderful. The story thrilling, and wonderful. She always adds just the right amount of fear with a dash of romantic. I enjoy her so much. This book is about the matriach of this trilogy, Rosiland. She has a very tough exterior, but is the women all the characters are drawn to, and she is the glue that holds them together. That the main reason that Nora Roberts trilogy's are so great her glue that ties them, and the bonds that the women have. A fantastic read!
Nora Roberts is a great author. Story is very compelling. You just can't stop at book one. You must solve the mystery.

If a book is by Nora Roberts, I know I will enjoy it. This is the second in the trilogy relating the story of a century's old mansion in Tennessee. Harper House has been inhabited by Harpers for 100+ years. The current matriarch, Rosalind, is the focus of this book and she is an enjoyable, well-drawn woman. Roberts is a master in creating people, places, and situations that keep you turning the pages. Roberts is the master at creating a story that draws you in and makes the story so real you are there while it’s happening. I stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish this book. It’s a love story and a mystery. It delves into family interactions with insight. One of the story lines has Roz’s ex trying to create havoc in her life and the way she handles it is an inspiration – as well as a naughty satisfaction when he causes his own downfall. I would definitely recommend this book as well as the other two in the trilogy – Blue Dahlia and Red Lily!!Read full review
This is the second 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 eldest, Roz. Its warming to see this woman who was widowed young with 3 sons and had a miserable ex husband blossom herself. She tried for so long to provide and survive that she had been neglecting her love life entirely. Its warming to watch her open up to the right man. She's a no non-sence woman with great class and self respect. Its nice how when Robert's writes a trilogy the other characters weave themselves throughout the entire series. I find it makes the story more complete. Great series. Makes me want to plant some flowers. Very recommended.
I have never been a "Western" type of reader so it really took me by surprise to not just like but loved this book. It was interesting with lots of interseting and diverse characters woven in. The other thing was I didn't guess the ending until of course the very end. Suspenseful and very intriguing. A really good read you won't want to put down.
