I just listened to this book on Audible. It is part of a three book set. Books 4-6 in the Brunswick Bay Harbor Gems series. This is the first one I have read and I was not lost at all. Can definitely be a standalone read.
I love it when the author does the narration. Ms.Omasta does a wonderful job performing these characters. She knows all the feels and portrays them to perfection.
This story of Max, a firefighter and Dani, a doctor is very entertaining. Max secretly crushed on Dani since high school. Dani, however, experienced bullying because of her "curves" and her smarts. Now they meet up again in their small town. Loved Max's patience. Loved the family dynamics. Loved the small town vibe. Loved the humor!
The finale leads into the next book. I'm off to experience it next.
Shadowed Rubies: A small-town romance featuring a doctor and a firefighter
by Ann Omasta
I’m lost in the woods…
Our town’s infamous kidnapper just found me…
And my apartment’s on fire with my sweet dog, Bruiser, inside…
Dr. Danica Waters had valid reasons for moving away from her quaint hometown of Brunswick Bay Harbor, Maine.
Sexy firefighter, Max Malone, is a prime example of the judgmental jerks who made her want to leave and never look back.
When dire circumstances force brilliant Dani to return to the seaside village where she grew up and faced near-constant ridicule, she needs to prove that her tormentors didn’t win.
Notorious bad-boy, Max, keeps rescuing Dr. Waters from precarious situations, but the curvy stunner seems immune to his charm––even when a tragic fire and the local fugitive bring Dani, Max, and their entire coastal Maine town together in surprising ways.
Will these delightful, damaged characters be able to heal each other and embrace love or will the dark shadows of their pasts destroy them? Find out in Shadowed Rubies.
