In an attempt to learn more about Amelia, The Harper Bride, Rosalind Harper engages the services of genealogist Mitchell Carnegie to trace her origins. As they work together to uncover the clues to her identity, Roz and Mitch grow closer, but the Harper Bride is enraged by their burgeoning relationship and is determined to cut it short at all costs.

Unfortunately, this second book suffers from the same issues as the first. The developments in the ongoing arc concerning the ghost haunting Harper House cannot compensate for the excessive descriptions of plants and flowers and the uninspired romance.

To put it mildly, Mitch and Roz's relationship is boring. They have no chemistry and their sex scenes lack both sensuality and intimacy.

The subplot revolving around the machinations of Roz's ex has the potential to add some excitement and suspense, but never goes beyond annoying. That said, there are a couple of scenes with him toward the end that are very satisfying.

Susie Breck's narration of the audiobook makes it easier to slog through the boring sections. Hayley and Harper's story is next and I hope it will be an improvement on the first two books. ( )

I have no plans to read book #3 since I am sure it will just irk the living daylights out of me again. Book #2 was so good and I still have the same feeling I did back when I read this the first time, I didn't want it to end. When Roberts is good, she's really good. I just enjoyed the heck out of these books and was so satisfied by the ending.

In book #2, "Black Rose" we follow Rosalind Harper (Roz) as she does what she can to find out more about the Harper Bride (a ghost living in her family home for hundreds of years at this point). Taking place in Memphis Tennessee (not a typical romance location) we follow Roz as she she works with Dr. Mitchell Carnegie to try to find out the mystery behind the Harper Bridge. Roz is also still running her In the Garden business and doing what she can to be rid of the memories of her second husband who was a piece of dirt.

What I really loved about this book is that you see a flawed but strong woman in Roz. She feels so much more human to me than Hayley (Red Lily, Book #3) or Stella (Blue Dahlia, Book #1) ever did. Roz is 47 years old and she's raised three sons by herself. She still throughout this book mourns her first husband John. And she regrets letting loneliness sneak in and get to her which caused her to marry her second husband.

This was a slow burn romance novel and honestly I would say the romance wasn't even secondary this time. It was maybe third on the list. Most of this book really is about Roz, her sons, and her not letting her ex husband get to her when he comes back to town and does what he can to ruin her reputation. I loved seeing her friends and family rally around her. And I loved that Roz decided what she wanted when things turned to the romantic with Mitch. I wasn't really feeling Mitch even though I loved this book. Probably because most of this book was unraveling the mystery of the Bride who appears and gets really confrontational with Roz. ( )

A great addition to the series, the love story was perfect and the ghost is really getting interesting. ( )

Black Rose, book two of the In the Garden series, unlocks a few more secrets in the Harper Bride mystery while building on this warm and lov- ing family drama, which is laced with strength and passion. Excellent as always!

Description du livre
A quarante-cinq ans Rosalind Harper a vu avec bonheur Harper house, sa propriété du Tennessee renaître grâce à ses amies Stella et Hailey. Désormais, la jardinerie résonne des rires des enfants. Roz sait aussi qu'elle peut compter sur le soutien de ses grands fils. Indépendante et forte, elle assume parfaitement son célibat. Pourtant, sa vie va être bouleversée lorsqu'elle fait appel au Dr Mitchell Carnegie, un généalogiste à qui elle demande d'identifier le fantôme de "l'épouse Harper". Rosalind n'a jamais été impressionnée par ses apparitions mais, à mesure que ses liens avec Mitch se renforcent, la présence bienveillante du spectre se mue en fureur dévastatrice.
Pourquoi?
Héritier d'une riche famille de la côte Est, Adam Haines est très attaché à sa vie de célibataire sans attaches. Aussi, le jour où il rencontre Kirby Fairchild, fille d'un célèbre peintre dont il est l'invité, c'est presque par jeu qu il se laisse séduire et devient son amant.
Un jeu bien utile, qui lui permet d enquêter sans risque dans le château de ses hôtes... Car Adam a menti. Son séjour chez les Fairchild n'a rien d'une visite de courtoisie : il est à la recherche d'un tableau volé, que le père de Kirby est soupçonné de cacher chez lui.
Tandis qu'il s'immisce dans la vie des Fairchild, Adam ressent un malaise grandissant. Sa relation avec Kirby a changé, et ce qu'il considérait comme une aventure sans lendemain s'est transformé en passion amoureuse. Une passion si dévorante que le jour où Kirby lui en fait l'aveu, Adam comprend qu'il n'a plus qu'une chose à faire : abandonner sa mission, et partir sans se retourner pour ne pas affronter le regard de Kirby quand elle découvrira sa trahison...
