I purchased a copy of the novel Hello Again (In The Garden Book 1) Apr 27, 2015 by Heather Tullis and this review was given freely.
A second chance at love with a millionaire romance. Easy flowing with wonderful characters, a sweet romance, vivid descriptions and enough family drama to keep things interesting. Struggling Crystal Creek Dental Hygienist Piper meets her first love Reese Stone when she tries to start a city garden in her neighborhood to keep her autistic brother Spencer out of trouble.

I purchased a copy of the novel First Crush (In the Garden Book 2) Mar 22, 2016 by Heather Tullis and this review was given freely.
A second chance at love with your brother’s best friend clean romance with family drama and a sinister undertone. The story in book one continues with one of Piper’s best friends, 3rd grade school teacher Maddie and her frustration when her brother Jason’s best friend officer Ben continues to ignore her. A complex and interesting story containing two romances, the planning of Piper and Reese’s wedding, gang activity, the topic of physical abuse, the anxiety that can occur with the uncertainty of loving a police officer, and Ben’s surprise fatherhood.

This book covers the same time frame as book 3 but from Comfrey’s view.

A rocky romance, lottery winners,overbearing and self centered parents,
Second chances at first love
Piper met Reece the summer before her senior year, he was a college boy. Her mom didn’t like it and told him to stay away. Well he did with pressure from his dad. Now they are both working. She takes care of her brother Spencer who has Autism, her mom works nights. They live in a bit so nice neighborhood. But she decided a community garden would be great she see him again because his company owns the property.
Piper had her heart broken ten years earlier by Reece, a rich boy who left her for college. Piper never wanted to see him again, but she is trying to help her autistic brother stay out of trouble and plans a community garden. The best location for the garden, though, belongs to Reece. This obligates Piper to work with him so she can get the garden land, from the board of his company. Reece never stopped liking Piper, so he wants to fights to win her back. This is a family romance.
Good second chance love story. Reece & Piper dated for part of a summer until he suddenly called & broke things off. Now, years later, Piper’s autistic brother is
picked up for breaking windows in an abandoned building owned by Reece’s family. Then Piper finds out his company also owns the property she wants to develop into a community garden. After meeting Reece to go over her proposal for the garden, Piper realizes she still likes Reece but can she trust him?
The hardest thing Reece has ever done was break up with Piper. He’s never forgotten her. Nor that she’s back in his life, he isn’t going to let her shove him out again. Why can’t he get her to acknowledge the attraction is mutual?
I really enjoyed this story. The characters are realistic & likable. I love the way Piper stands by her brother & takes care of him while not taking over. Reece treats him as a normal person instead of looking down on him too. There were a few twists I wasn’t expecting but I really enjoyed this story.
