Book 1 of the trilogy.

This book got me hooked into reading the entire series! I loved it and I never wanted to put this one down. It seems as though for me this was the best mix of suspense and romance Roberts has ever done.

I really liked the characters and I was kept interested in the ghost story; wanting to read more to find out who she was and why she was there. I also liked how there were subplots that you can tell are going to be brought up in one of the next two books in this triology

This book is about Stella Rothchild, who's a widow with two young boys and decides it's time for a change for her and her boys. She gets an opportunity to work for Roz Harper at In The Garden, a nursery in Memphis, TN. Part of the agreement concerning her new position is to live with Roz in her huge estate, Harper House. While adjusting to her new position, her new home, and new friends, she also finds herself dealing with The Harper Bride, a ghost out for retribution. If all this isn't enough, she finds herself falling in love with the headstrong Logan Kitridge. Stella, being the strong and determined woman she is, finds a way to protect what's hers. I enjoy reading Nora Roberts's books and this one has always been one of my favorites.

I love this series from Nora Roberts. This first book is about the woman Roselyn hires to oversee her nursery. The woman has recently lost her husband in a tragic accident, and has two young boys. She is able to move in the Roselyn's family mansion, and eventually finds love.

I truly do enjoy Nora Roberts books.
