MY REVIEW

4 CROWNS

These are the first three books in the Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems series.  This is a series of romantic suspense that does need to be read in the order of release.



SHATTERED DIAMONDS 

Alex and Josie’s story was highly addictive and I was rooting for them from the beginning.  She had lost her dreams of Olympic gold.  He was being wrongly accused in the disappearance of his wife.



On the other hand, I was frustrated throughout the book in that I felt that there should be more about the disappearance.  Since this was a major factor in how the town treated Alex, shouldn’t the reader know more than “Claire’s missing.  The town blames Alex, but he didn’t do it.”



SHINING PEARLS

Yeah!  More of an explanation of what happened to Claire.  Boo! Josie is devastated once again.  Yeah and Boo and OMG the twists and turns and ups and downs.  Yes, this one was made me an emotional mess.  So much happens and I can’t say much without giving away the surprises.  READ IT!



SHIMMERING EMERALDS

Claire’s sister Meg was especially hard on Alex.  Now we get to see another side of her as she gets to her HEA.  First there is a horrible bus crash with the kids – yikes!!!! And a sighting of Kevin Dursley. 



The emotions are strong and free-flying, but definitely end with smiles.  Meg and Levi deserve their happy ending.  This was my favorite of the three stories.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
