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).

Sweet story

I believe it would be best when read the previous books in this series, but not necessary. This was my first book in this series and I was able to understand and enjoy this story. It was a nice and quick story great to listen while doing errands/ chores.

Another great story in this series

This has been a great series and we get another cliff hanger!! I'm okay with this because I can't wait to see what happens next. Such great characters and Ann brings them to life in such a way you want to be a part of their lives.

Another Gem of a Story! Great Audible Listen🎧

Ann Omasta pens another gem of a story, a great addition to to her ‘Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems’ series. This book picks up right where the 2nd book left off, when Alex and Claire are notified of a school bus accident containing their precious cargo, their daughter Hannah. Claire’s sister Meg and daughter Harper were on the bus too. The bus swerved off the road when bus driver, Levi, avoided hitting someone on the road. Some of the children were injured in the accident the worst being Harper who remained comatose. Meg and Levi has a history, they were lovers before he set off to Nashville to start his career in country music. He stood by Claire’s side while they waited for Harper to wake from her coma. Meg was a secondary character in the first books and I did not care for her persona then but Ann Omasta humanizes her a bit more in this book, though not thrilled with some of her past actions I do get why she did what she did. I adored Levi, he is probably one of my favorite characters in this series or at least a close second to Dean. He harbored feelings for Meg and is hoping to rekindle their love. I liked how everything plays out in this second chance romance, there is drama, angst, a nice twist and a whole lot of emotions. No cliffhanger ending but Ann Omasta plants another “oh no” at the end. I am looking forward to what happens next in Brunswick Bay Harbor. Thank you Ann Omasta for another great story and Audible Listen🎧

Great Second-Chance Romance Story!

I totally enjoyed listening to this third installment of the Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems series as this ongoing story has me hooked. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series to be released!! Lovers of second chance romance stories will totally enjoy this series, and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, even though this is the third book in this series, I still hate the devious, lying, hypocritical character of Meg; and my opinion of her was not swayed one bit as this story progressed. Her “woe is me—I’ve been abandoned” mindset was entirely of her doing. My heart totally went out to clueless Levi—everyone treats him like he’s the scum of the earth—they’re all lucky he’s giving up everything to be there for Meg—and her big reveal was totally unforgivable in my mind’s eye. The author does a good job in narrating this story, however towards the end when there were multiple people speaking, I became confused as there wasn’t much change in her tonal quality, and I wasn’t sure exactly who was speaking. I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
