About Nora Roberts

Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

This installment of the In The Garden trilogy is to me the weakest of the three, but I do recommend to read this one and advance to the next two installments. The payoff is worth it.

I am not normally a big romance fiction fan - but this book really drew me in. Maybe because I love to garden. I found the characters sympathtic and am anxiously waiting for the other two books to arrive.

This was such a great start to the series. I love stories that have a ghost in them. I like the teeny feeling of being spooked. I want to start planting flowers now.

I tried this one a couple of times and didn't think I could get into it. A coworker kept telling me that the series was really good, so I tried it again. I wasn't disappointed. Good, intriguing story. Looking forward to the next installment.

Goodreads review by Cyndi

A good romance and beginning of the trilogy. The hero is a bit hard to fall in love with, and the beginning is terribly sad, but the story comes around. Of course, It's Nora Roberts so its well written and the characters are developing perfectly. Stella moves back to Tennessee after losing her husb......more

Goodreads review by Jane

2 ½ stars. Not enough story. Not enough plot. Characters were nice people but not compelling enough for a story. My mind kept wandering. A lot of conversation about ordinary things. Characters did not interest or intrigue me. Stella likes to organize and manage things. Logan is creative and artistic......more

Nora Roberts para mí es de las mejores en el campo de la contemporánea y hay muy cosas historias que ella haya escrito y no me hayan gustado, interesado o entretenido. En esta ocasión, tenemos una historia entretenida y con un misterioso......more
