The conclusion of the In the Garden trilogy finds single-mom Hayley struggling with her attraction for Harper. For his part, Harper is hesitant to pursue Hayley due to employee status. Things heat up, however, when the resident ghost takes a hand. Amelia is determined to have her baby and peace at last - and she's not beyond possessing Hayley to gain both. Can Hayley and Harper and the rest of the crew finally lay the disturbed spirit to rest?

The weakest of the three installments, IMHO, but still an exciting conclusion. ( )

IN THE GARDEN

Red Lily is the final book from the In The Garden Trilogy. I think this was the best book in the series. All the couples in the series had great chemistry, but none like Hayley and Harper. My favorite character in the whole series was Amelia (the ghost) and she really came through in this novel. I found the conclusion to be a little rushed, however I did enjoy the book overall. I do recommend this series. ( )

This is the final in the In the Garden trilogy and they finally find out about the Bride. I liked the characters and their relationships. It was a fun set of books to read and I now need to go back to the first.
The ghost aspect is good and a bit scary, I love the strength of the women and the men who know when to back down and not try to control them. We may be smaller as a group, but we don't like to be pushed around by anyone.
This is a cute sweet romantic tale. ( )

Book description
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. 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...
