Publisher's Summary
Nora McNeill has always dreamed of exploring her Irish roots. When she finally gets the opportunity to spend a summer in the village where her grandparents grew up, the experience promises to live up to her very high expectations. Except for the ghost that is haunting her rented cottage and is soon invading her dreams.
Briana Devlin has arranged her life the way she likes it: a good dog, good mates, and work with horses. There’s no room in her life for a relationship. Especially with an annoyingly clumsy - and attractive - American who is only going to be around for a few months.
The weeks fly by, and Nora’s ghost becomes more demanding, seeking her help in solving the mystery surrounding her death. Briana watches as Nora becomes more wrapped up in the past, seeming to fade away before her eyes.
Past and present are on a collision course, leaving Nora and Briana caught in a ghostly intrigue that could cost them not only their chance of a future together, but their very lives.

Pleasantly Surprised
I tend to like novels set in other time periods or other worlds. I was skeptical that I was going to like this book at first, because it was set in a modern environment, however I found myself drawn into the story early on and by the end of the book I couldn’t stop listening.

Great.
I liked A Bittersweet Garden better than I thought I would. I don't like books with supernatural things, But I love Caren J. Werlinger's writing. So I ventured into this book. I really liked it. Intriguing. With all the family history and history of the cottage. Nora and Briana are loveable characters. My favorite theme is how kind and gentle Briana is with the horses. Alana Kerr Collins did an excellent job with the narration.

really got into this one
I was a little worried if it would all feel together right when I started reading it, but quickly realized it was amazing written almost like a dance. The voice actress did an amazing job, switching back and forth from American to Irish can be tricky, but she did it amazingly!

spooky and cute!
very fun, i liked the aspect of the mystery taking the front seat of the storyline but maintaining the relationship in a way that doesn't take away from the other friendships or plot line. well done!

Good! But hard to understand without separations
I really liked this book.. The only issue I really had was the fact that they didn't do anything to separate view points or time periods.. The book took place in the present, with two different women's view points, and 100s of years in the past... It's just blurred them together without separating them. It was like they flowed together and the didn't jump 100s off years in the past, as if it was all the same moment. So it made out hard to follow at times because of this... If it wants for the fact I liked the actual story line so much and everything else I would stop reading it because of this issue. But it was readily good and worth it though.

Iris Eyes!
Very easy to listen to, and funny in a few places. The ghost was a mysterious puzzle, just waiting to be solved. Off to my next adventure.
