Black Rose
3 Stars
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.

Back to Harper House to see what The Harper Bride is up to this time.
This time it's about Roz. She likes her life just as it is. However, she has hired Mitch to research the origins of the family ghost. She finds herself falling for him, but the Harper Bride isn't happy and will try and keep them apart.
Another good story and Roz eventually found out how she was related to The Harper Bride and how the ghost is linked to the Harper family.
It was nice to read about Stella's life moving along too from the first book.
Let's see what the last installment brings.

An enjoyable read. Fun to read a book about romance where the characters are the same age group as myself. I'm really enjoying this trilogy.

Firstly how great to see a romance book where the heroine is over 40.
I really enjoyed this, and can't wait to read the next to finally get the mystery of the Harper Bride solved.

Fue un regalo así que la intención es lo que cuenta 💕
En cuanto a la trama: mamita por qué hacían esa subtrama falopa de los fantasmas no sé qué le pasó a Nora (y a Lisa Kleypas en esa época) que estaban a full con el new age zzzzzzz un embole. Los personajes de cartón y demasiado telenovela pero sin el enganche.
