Blue Dahlia

In the Garden, Book 1

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Susie Breck

Against the backdrop of a house steeped in history and a thriving new gardening business, three women unearth the memories of the past in the first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’ In the Garden Trilogy.

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…

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. She isn’t intimidated by Harper House - nor by its mistress. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz Harper has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing In the Garden nursery.

As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and expectant mother Hayley and a fierce attraction to ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge. He’s difficult but honest, brash but considerate - and undeniably sexy. And for a sensible woman like Stella, he may be just what she needs...

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Roberts, the queen of romance, launches a new trilogy with a captivating tale in which her considerable talents at creating richly compelling characters and witty, spellbinding stories come into full bloom in a paranormal-tinged romance." ( Booklist)

Love it!

Just love it. When I finished reading it I was so bummed there wasnt more but then I had this feeling it was part of a trilogy and it is! Cant wait to dig into Black Rose.

Well written.

The book is well written. The characters are interesting as is the story weaving flowers into their daily lives.

Very Good Book!

Loved it! Easy to follow along with story. Good narrator. Liked the paranormal. Some language.

If looking for a scary ghost story this is not it

It is a beautiful romance.

I love gardening and a good romance and this was a widow with young children to which I could relate. Stella's character could actually be any one of us mothers. But if you are looking for a scary ghost story this is not it. The way the story is told it is not even closed to being a scary story at all. If anything you will feel sorry for the Herper Bride ghost by the end of the novel.

If you have an interest in gardening, landscaping, propagation, or cross pollination Nora Roberts paints beautiful pictures or all of these processes. She does this using Miss. Roz who runs her surroundings from her beautiful gardens, her loved one's lives surrounding the gardens, and her love for the old house.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Blue Dahlia. It's a delightful love story with interesting characters including, Amelia, the convoluted ghost.

Loved it!

Nora Roberts never disappoints me. Cant wait to start the next book to see what the next flower means.
