   Books Read in 2016 (386) No current Talk conversations about this book.  LibraryCin | May 9, 2024 |   BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 | 3 Stars At Harper House, Hayley Phillips has found a home and a family for herself and her small daughter, Lily. But Hayley feels restless and unsettled, primarily due to her growing attraction to Harper Ashby - the oldest son of her friend and employer. Unfortunately, the house's resident ghost isn't at all pleased with the development of Hayley and Harper's relationship. Will the truth about her past finally be revealed and enable Hayley and Harper to find happiness together? Of the three romances in the series, Harper and Hayley's is the best. They have great chemistry and their feelings for one another are believable. The connection between Harper and baby Lily is particularly engaging. While there is still some focus on the horticultural themes, they definitely take a back seat to the revelations regarding the identity and fate of the Harper Bride. To be honest, I was expecting a more exciting conclusion to this arc, but it sort of fizzles at the end. Moreover, as the details about Amelia's life and her actions emerged, I found what little sympathy I had for her dissipate. All in all, this is not one of Nora's better series and I cannot recommend it for readers new to her work.  ) Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 | ) Linyarai | Feb 16, 2020 | 5 out of 5 stars (  ) ReadingwithLynn | Sep 25, 2018 |
This trilogy has built to a magnificent crescendo that doesn't disappoint. The characters in this multibook drama are real and rational, even if they are facing unreal circumstances. Pitch-perfect Roberts! Belongs to SeriesIs contained inIs abridged in
"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 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. And that wouldn't be the only consequence, since her dreams are tangled up with Roz and the nursery. Hayley will have to put the past behind her to know her own heart again--and to decide whether she's willing to risk it.."-- No library descriptions found. |

This was ok. I see that I was more interested in the ghost story (than the romances) in the first two books, but even Amelia’s story didn’t appeal to me all that much this time around. It was ok, but nothing more for me. (
