I always hate when trilogies end, and the "In the Garden" trilogy (BLUE DAHLIA, BLACK ROSE, and now RED LILY) is no exception. You get to know the characters so completely, and feel such a connection with them, that they become almost real--and you just want to keep on reading about their lives!
RED LILY is the story of Harper Ashby, oldest son of Rosalind (BLACK ROSE), and Hayley Phillips. Hayley had come to Harper House the previous year, pregnant and alone, to beseech Roz, a distant cousin through marriage, for a job. Unwed, with her baby's father out of the picture, Hayley wasn't looking for a handout, but for a chance to start over. What Roz offered her was so much more--a job, a place to stay at the renowned Harper House, and a family.
Now she has her daughter Lily, a great job, and a roof over her head, but lately she's been thinking of Harper, the man whose been her friend through it all, in a brand-new light--that of a love interest. Afraid to ruin their friendship by telling him how she feels, she keeps quiet. Harper, on the other hand, has wanted Hayley in a more than friendly fashion ever since he laid eyes upon her--pregnant and all--more than a year ago. But he's sure that she doesn't think of him in the same way, and he's leary of messing up the friendship that means to much to him.
As these two friends--both wanting to be so much more--fight their attraction to each other, the resident ghost of the house, the Harper Bride, kicks into high gear. She's always been loving and kind to the children in the house, singing them lullabies in the night, but she seems to hate men, and she's become especially violent now that Hayley is entertaining thoughts of romance.
As the whole crew--Roz and her new husband Mitch, a geneologist trying his hardest to discover who the Harper Bride really is; Stella and Logan, both employees of Roz's In the Garden shop; and Hayley and Harper, who live on Harper/Ashby land--try to figure out the Bride's agenda, their lives are in danger, and their hearts and passions intertwine with that of the ghost's.
I loved this entire trilogy, and read RED LILY in one day. It was a perfect conclusion to this powerful family saga, and I was especially happy to finally learn the answers to who the Harper Bride was, and what happened to her.
I will admit that there was one surprise twist to the storyline that I didn't see coming, and wasn't really thrilled with, but since Ms. Roberts wrote it and I didn't, I can't complain! Overall, the story was still great, and in time I learned to live with what I thought was an unnecessary plot device.
Pick up this trilogy today--you won't be disappointed!

final book in the Garden trilogy. All the answers come through in this the last book of the trilogy of three women and how their lives change when they meet and live, love and find themselves. Good read and typical Nora Roberts.

The final in the garden trilogy. I was sad this series ended. It was a fascinating look at the world of the dead and their relationship to those of us still left here.

Third book of the trilogy written by Nora Roberts. Hayley, Roz and Stella, along with the loves in their lives, finally find out all the secrets of the Harper House ghost, Amelia.
Good, interesting mystery with a lot of great characters, complete with redhot love scenes. Can't beat Roberts' combination!
I've read and now posted all of the three books in the series. Order them all and enjoy them, one by one.

Great culmination of a trilogy! Very personable characters as is Roberts's style. Loved being in Tennessee for In the Garden series!

Hayley Phillips came to Memphis for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distent 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'd 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 then 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 compleatly her own. Flashes of the past and erratic behavior make Haily 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 Haily can know her own heart again-and wheather she's willing to risk it...

Very good series. I really got attached to the characters. It was surprising where they found Amelia's body...usually I can figure things like that out before the author tells you. But I won't give it away. :-)

Book Three of the In the Garden Trilogy. EXCELLENT - really fun reading!
RED LILY concludes the In the Garden trilogy, a paranormal romance series concerning three women forced to confront a mysterious, furious ghost who haunts the manor that serves as the location of the nursery where they work. When Hayley Phillips finds love with Harper Ashby, the spirit known as the Harper Bride attempts to thwart the relationship by possessing Hayley. Hayley's friends must finally discover the Harper Bride's history and use that knowledge to save Hayley.

1 member(s) found this review helpful.
This was my first Nora Roberts novel, a gift from my husband who knows how I like a good mystery. I was a bit disappointed because it did not suit my taste in books. There is some eroticism that I found unnecessary to the plot. It's actually a ghost/love story, and a fairly good ghost story at that.

Red Lily is the third book in Nora's In the Garden trilogy. This volume tells the tale of the young unwed mother given refuge by Roz in Book 1, Blue Dahlia. Throughout the series, we've watched Roz's son's love growing for Hayley and her new baby, and their shyness with each other. Here, their beautiful love story unfolds along with the conclusion of the ghost story woven through all three volumes. Another satisfying read!

This is the third in a trilogy from Nora Roberts. I have the other two which I will post now, they were very good, about three ladies who come together from different lives and live and work at a huge gardening nursery owned by the oldest of the three. There is a ghost haunting the place and they are trying to find out who it is throughout the series. The series was so good!!

The Barnes & Noble Review
Nora Roberts brings her bestselling In the Garden trilogy to a most satisfying conclusion with Red Lily, which tells the story of Hayley Phillips and solves the mystery of the Harper House ghost.
Hayley, first encountered in Blue Dahlia, lurched into adult life unexpectedly when she left home six months pregnant. She found the fresh start she was looking for, thanks to her distant cousin Roz, who gave her a home, a job in the nursery business, and a chance. Hayley has found many good friends too, including Roz's son, Harper, whom her young daughter, Lily, adores.
Although Harper and Hayley have spent the past two books becoming friends and eyeing each other from the side, in this book they finally act on their attraction. Their romance is sweet and intense, supported and complicated by the cast of friends and relatives introduced in the two previous books: Stella and her husband, Logan, and Roz and her new husband, Mitch. And for reasons to be revealed, the ghost of Harper House takes offense at any romance -- especially Hayley's -- in a way that could endanger her life.
As in the previous two books, Roberts excels at creating a rich cast of characters, led by three women of different ages, who start out unattached and ultimately find the friendship and love they deserve. Ginger Curwen

She has been with the family while the Harper Bride, the ghost that haunts the house, terrorized the people who lived there as they each fell in love.
Hayley begins to fall in love with Harper, Roz's son, and feels guilty about it. She finally makes a move, and she and Harper become an item. In the meantime, the ghost attacks Hayley stronger than before. All this does is push Harper and Hayley together, and they both begin to fantasize about a life together with just them and Hayley's daughter Lily. Harper plans to ask Hayley to marry him, but asks sooner when they discover Hayley is pregnant. Hayley agrees, but constantly fights when Harper tries to get her to move out of the house for her safety.
The Bride, whose name is Amelia, continues to bother the people in the house. Harper is concerned that the ghost wants to confront her, especially when she almost causes Hayley to commit suicide.

Roberts a very entertaining writer..... this is the 3rd of three books of the "In the Garden Trilogy" about three women at the cross roads of their lives, each searching for new ways to grow. This one is about Hayley.
Janet reviewed on 8/25/2006...Hayley loves her life in Memphis: her precious baby girl, Lily, her job at the In the Garden nursery, and her close friendships with her boss, Roz, and coworker Stella. Hayley isn't about to risk all this on the chance that Roz's son, Harper (his mother's last name), might be interested in her. But when her desire for Harper finally proves to be too strong to resist, Hayley discovers not only that Harper feels the same about her but also that everyone is delighted to see them together. In fact, the only one who seems upset by her new relationship is the "Harper Bride" ghost, who, after nearly a century of unthreatening behavior, is suddenly turning violent. Now if Hayley wants her budding romance to flourish, she must find a way to root the Harper Bride out of all of their lives. The consistently excellent Roberts brings her In the Garden trilogy to a spooky, sexy conclusion with this spellbinding romance that beautifully celebrates the power of love in all its guises.

I'm a gentle reader of books as is my sister. We tend to buy books together splitting the price. This book was the best, in my opinion, of the triliogy. My copy is gently read and has minimal damage to the spine.
But this story is the third of the "In the Garden" Trilogy. It about three women who find each other when they each need a friend. It's set in Memphis and tells how each of the three women finds the love of their lives and in the meantime settle an old family mystery and drive away a ghost.

With the undying support of her friends, Hayley and her new daughter have laid down roots in a new town. But when one of those friendships blossoms into something more, Hayley must choose between two dirrenct kinds of love.
Until recently, the Harper Bride ghost was thought to be sad but not violent. Recent events, however, have proven that this mystery woman is both psychotic and angry. The ghost's worst tendencies appear whenever romance blossoms, and as once-favored son Harper Ashby and Hayley Phillips admit their attraction to each other, things escalate even further.
For the first time, the Harper Bride shows the ability to invade a human consciousness, as she briefly possesses Hayley's body. Even though the ghost used to sing to him as a child, any positive feelings Harper may once have had toward her are driven out by his fear for Hayley and toddler Lily. The answer lies in the past and, in order to protect those in the present, the dark truth must be exposed. It will take the courage and deductive skills of the entire "In the Garden" gang if they are to succeed.
