Another nice comforting entertaining listen. ( )

One of Roberts' few titles in which the lady of the thing is over 40. The second installment of the In the Garden trilogy finds greenhouse owner Rosalind Harper battling her attraction for sexy-Harrison Ford resembling genealogist Mitchell Carnegie. For his part, Mitch isn't fighting the pull too hard. But once the Harper Bride, Amelia, isn't having it - as the ghost's objections grow more violent, the search for her identity heats up.

Probably best to read Blue Dahlia first, but if you don't have it to hand, jumping in mid-stream shouldn't be too jarring a plunge. ( )

IN THE GARDEN
  rustyoldboat | May 28, 2011 |
Black Rose is the 2nd book from the In The Garden Trilogy. I enjoyed it, as much as Blue Dahlia, the 1st in the series. I liked the character depth, and the elements of supernatural behavior that is in the series. I thought the Amelia plot was better in this book then Blue Dahlia, but I found I enjoyed Blue Dahlia more because I thought Stella and Logan had more chemistry then Roz and Mitch. I’m just itching to read the conclusion to the series, Red Lily. ( )

Book description
Three women meet at a crossroads in their lives, each searching for new ways to grow-and find in each other the courage to take chances and embrace the future. Roz is a woman of independent means who thought love was behind her, but when romance takes her by surprise, she won't allow anything to keep her from her second chance at happiness. 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... At forty-five, Rosalind Harper is a woman whose experiences have made her strong enough to bend without breaking-and weather any storm. A widow with three grown sons, she survived a disastrous second marriage, and built her In the Garden nursery from the ground up. Through the years, In the Garden has become more than just a thriving business-it is a symbol of hope and independence to Roz, and to the two women she shares it with. Newlywed Stella and new mother Hayley are the sisters of her heart, and together, the three of them are the future of In the Garden. But now that future is under attack, and Roz knows they can't fight this battle alone. Hired to investigate Roz's Harper ancestors, Dr. Mitchell Carnagie finds himself just as intrigued with Roz herself. And as they begin to unravel the puzzle of the Harper Bride's identity, Roz is shocked to find herself falling for the fascinating genealogist. Now it is a desperate race to discover the truth before the unpredictable apparition lashes out at the one woman who can help her rest in peace...
