Ghost in the Garden

My Rating: 4/5

Review: Very good book, but that's what I expect from one of my favorite authors. I loved reading about the big old house and the business side of running a nursery. I love gardening, so this book fit right in with that. The big old house is haunted, of course, so that was fun too. I am definitely curious about the Harper Bride who haunts the children's bedroom, singing a lullaby to them every night. The romance between Logan and Stella was good too, and I loved their constant banter. I'll definitely be continuing on with the trilogy.

Book Description: Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennessee-and into her new life at Harper House and In the Garden nursery. She isn't intimidated by the house-nor its mistress, local legend Roz Harper. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable new place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing nursery. As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and with expectant mother Hayley. And she discovers a fierce attraction with ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge

But someone isn't happy about the budding romance...the Harper Bride. As the women dig into the history of Harper House, they discover that grief and rage have kept the Bride's spirit alive long past her death. And now, she will do anything to destroy the passion that Logan and Stella share...
