Book 3 Brunswick Bay Harbor series

Shimmering Emeralds (Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems book 3)

I got this book not really realizing that it was the third in the series. I’m sure that I will go back and pick up the first two in the series.

There is back-story, but Levi is a country music star, and Meg hates country music, but has never gotten over Levi. The story continues through her daughter’s hospitalization after a serious school bus wreck where Levi was the driver.

Good writing, good plot, good characterization. Now, I want to go back and learn more from the first two!

Totally enjoyed this story.

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. I thought that the author did a great job writing and narrating the story. It would be better to read this series in order, but I started with this book and figured out what had already happened. Meg and Levi's story contains action, a near tragedy, secrets, heartache, lack of communication, new life, forgiveness, and heartwarming revelations. The author has written a story with great plot and heartwarming character development. The narration created the feeling that you are part of the story.

A book that is more than the sum of its parts

Shimmering Emeralds (Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems, #3), my thirtieth read from author Ann Omasta. Another entertaining, and well-written read the third in this captivating series that I'd managed to read out of order, not realizing I'd missed a book until I was done reading Shocking Sapphires (Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems #5). I received a free Kindle copy of this book & have liked the Audible editions read by the author so much I went out & bought this one to catch up on the series. The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. I'll be reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

LOVED IT!

I loved it! The narration was great. The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I hadn't thought I could have any soft feelings for Meg. After all her judgemental, rude disrespect and meanness in the last 2 stories toward members of her extended family. Even in this story. She started off as more of a harpy than not. Levi's love for her soften my opinion. He is such a good guy, she must have some redeeming qualities.

'Shimmering Emeralds' takes place over the period of several stress filled days. The unexpected events and how they effect the characters is captivating.

Lorana Hoopes has some amazing talent, in writing her tales as well as telling them.

I recieved a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.
