loved it

I had to listen to this book right after the first book of the series. I look forward to listening and or reading the other books by this author...

GOOD SERIES!

I enjoyed it! The narration was great and kept me entertained. The author did a good job with the character builds and plot. I look forward to reading more books in this series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So very enjoyable!

Shining Pearls, my seventeenth read from author Ann Omasta and the second book in her Harbor Gems series. Another entertaining and well-written read from her. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. It was intriguing to listen to the author that wrote the book narrate it herself. Will there be more books in this series? (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Wowza, Ann Omasta does it again

This is such a great series. It pulls you in and doesn't let go. Not even at the end because there is a cliff hanger!!! The story of Alex and his two women had me worried but Ann Omasta tells their story beautifully and I loved it.

Addictive story

I loved this story. The pace of it was just right. The characters were awesome and the storyline very true to life. Excellent narration. I can’t wait to get the next book in the series.

Great Read

Shining Pearls (Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems, #2) was another great read by Ann Omasta. Alex was still dealing with the heartbreak of his wife’s disappearance when he met Josie. She wound up helping him move on from that heartbreak and helped his daughter through the same heartbreak. Unfortunately the truth about his wife’s disappearance surfaces and everything changes for Alex and Josie. I love Alex and Josie’s story and although things don’t go as they planned, I think their story is exactly what it should be. I can’t wait to read more in this series and more books by Ann Omasta.

Another great Ann Omasta story

I enjoy Ann Omasta's stories and this was not different. The pace was just right. The characters were awesome and the storyline very true to life. Excellent narration. I can’t wait to get the next book in the series.

Love this series!

This is a wonderful second book in this series. Ann Omasta's writing brings out the characters feelings, hopes and disappoints. I did have one problem with this book. After Alex's wife Claire had been missing for a year he found someone to spend time with. How can what Alex and Josie shared be called an affair when Claire was assumed dead? I can understand Claire feeling bitter thinking he'd moved on. Her family was the one thing that helped her survive being kidnapped and held captive for a year. I just had a hard time believing this part of the story. Still the story came together really good and I did enjoy it.

Ann Omasta's narration is very good as she takes you through the lives of the characters.

I received a free review copy of this audible and I'm thrilled to be able to provide my honest review.

Surprise!!

Surprise!! Alex's wife Claire returns at the start of book 2. She walks into her home to find her husband with another woman. At this point in the story Claire has been gone for one year. Josie does the "right" thing by leaving to allow the couple to talk. What I didn't care for at this point was the way Alex dropped Josie like yesterday's trash and Josie seemed to be alright with that. I didn't let that fact keep me from finishing the story which ended in another CLIFFHANGER. I'm really looking forward to see how their family meshes together in the next book. I really enjoyed the narration by the author.

NEVER GIVE UP ON LOVE

I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review.

Not knowing in the beginning that this was a continuation book, I was thrown off as to why it started the way it did. Getting into the book, I was really upset with Alex as to why he had given up so easily on his missing wife and how Josie had just moved in and had an affair with him before his wife was declared dead. I did like Dean’s unwavering devotion and love of Josie. This book is a cliffhanger also.

I was surprised that the author did the narration. I have to stick with my theory that women have a hard time doing the men’s voices. I did love her women’s voices.
