Forty-two-year-old Iris Walker has dedicated her whole life to her career. Owning a successful landscaping company, she travels the country transforming piles of dirt into beautiful gardens.

The opportunity to work on the prestigious Veridian Court Hotel has only ever been a dream of hers. That is until the owner seeks her out to revitalize his hotel’s landscape. With her dream so close to being realized, how could she say no?

Even if a body washed up on the shore the day before.

Despite the rumors, Iris can’t wait to begin. She prides herself on being a hard worker –
though when it comes to taking action against her mundane love life? That might be too much work...

Until she returns a lost coat to a handsome and mysterious hotel guest, and Iris can’t help but be drawn in by Neil’s charm. Determined not to let her desire overshadow her job, her work at the hotel is suddenly put on hold when the owner of the Veridian suddenly goes missing.

Now Iris has more questions than answers. With the help of her new and unexpected friends, she starts unraveling the truth behind the mounting tragedies at the old hotel.

When her curiosity turns her into the next target, Iris is forced to question everything.
Is Neil her last hope for romance or do his secrets make him deadly?

Sage, you did it I did not know who the culprits were until the middle of book six. They looked familiar and I had noted that I knew them from somewhere but did not imagine that I was experiencing another incident like Justin.
Amy came and surprised me at the hotel and we had a wonderful time together even though she was worried about me the whole time. Alex appeared again and we had a wonderful talk and all is well with our friendship. Betty and I talked and although we discussed things we will never be friends.
Neil and I are on great terms and he wants to ask me something...could it be?
He has been absolutely wonderful to me over all of these issues and I love him more each and every day.
Wait, Amy and I have been out today and he has not contacted me once. He usually text me about 4-5 times a day. What is going on.
Well, read book six and find the answers to all my questions as well as everyone else's and find out what happens with Neil and I. Will it be a happy ever after?.

What a great conclusion to this series and we finally get to see who was causing havoc at the Veridian Court Hotel. Still a few twists and turns but that just makes this series that much better and finally Iris and Neil embark on their relationship that has been brewing throughout the entire series but unfortunately they have always been interrupted. Truly a great series that I highly recommend.

The author still pulls out the stops to keep you guessing on what will happen next to Iris. Some of the hotel workers and guests are acting a little weird. Iris notices that things with them seems off. One of the detectives is a little hostile towards her. It all comes to a close with Iris being rescued by Neil and her sister, Amy. I would recommend this series who likes a clean mystery and love story.

No spoilers here. A series that pulls you without you even realizing it. You're captivated by the story line and easily fall in love with the characters. Each book is well written and flows smoothly from page to page.

This is a series you'll want to read in order, as each book picks up where the previous book leaves off.

I've read a lot of books written by Sage Parker; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the sixth book in the Cozy Mystery Romance Series; the story continues from the previous book and needs to be read in order.

Enjoyed reading all 7 books in this series!

There was enough mystery to keep me interested and enough entertainment to keep me happy. Iris was such an interesting character. All of us know an Iris in our present lives, or have known one in years past. There were a number of surprises in each phase and on each floor.
Quite an enjoyable read.

Last book in the series. Iris and Neil grow closer and she continues to look into who is trying to sabotage the hotel. Will she get the answers and live to tell about it?.

A solid finish although I felt Iris should have been a bit smarter and taken more precautions. Thank goodness for her sister Amy coming to the rescue. The culprits were a surprise to me.

Awesome Series

I absolutely loved this series. I couldn't get through each book fast enough. I thought it could of been the husband and wife duo but was leaning toward David. Please read this series you won't be sorry.

[Cindy Stankiewicz · Rating 3 out of 5]

At book 6, I couldn’t wait for it to end…

I liked the story but became bored with it in so many places. It went on too long. It would have been a more interesting read for me if it were one book instead of six without all the redundancy and unnecessary transpiring events.

[Cathy M. Skora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sage Parker did it again!

Sage always manages to get me hooked with her writing style. She keeps her books interesting and moving. Her characters are realistic and in depth. I love her writing style.

Good reading

I read all the books one after another. Had to see who really was behind all of the mess. Very good.

[Mrs C M Clinch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect

I was hooked from the first book and read all 6 quickly. Good detective plot, romance and an open happy ending. Which leads you to the thought there might be another book.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Instead of six separate books it would have been better to make just one book.
