The Amber Brooch

The Celtic Brooch Series, Volume 8

De: Katherine Lowry Logan

Narrado por: Teri Schnaubelt

Sparks fly and tension soars when a gutsy 21st century lawyer meets a 19th century Pinkerton agent in a Colorado mining town! Fast-paced Western adventure with a railroad war, gunslingers, dinosaur bones, and romance...

Amber Kelly, mining lawyer and amateur paleontologist, visits her family’s 19th century log cabin in the Colorado mountains and discovers a puzzle box hidden in a 200-year-old loom. Inside the box is a brooch engraved with a Gaelic inscription. After reciting the words, an earthy-scented fog engulfs Amber and whisks her off to Leadville, Colorado, in the year 1878.

Within minutes of arriving in the infamous boomtown, she witnesses a horrifying accident. Pinkerton agent Daniel Grant, a widower on assignment to the Rio Grande Railroad, sees his son fall into the path of a freight wagon. Terrified, he knows he can’t reach him in time. Amber sprints toward the boy, grabs him, and drags him to safety. Although Daniel is grateful to Amber for saving his son’s life, he quickly becomes suspicious of her legal knowledge, odd passion for hunting dinosaur bones, and inability to answer simple questions about her identity.

Olivia Kelly, real estate broker and former litigator, is distraught over her sister’s disappearance. With the assistance of her client, former NYPD detective Connor O’Grady, they search the cabin for clues to Amber’s whereabouts. Connor recognizes the puzzle box and is convinced Amber has gone back in time. But where? With the help of his friends David and Kenzie McBain, they identify two possibilities: Morrison and Canon City, Colorado, in the late 1870s.

A plan to rescue Amber is immediately put into action. The time travelers are drawn into the middle of two wars: a ruthless and competitive bone war between two noted paleontologists and a desperate railroad war between the Santa Fe and the Rio Grande. Their involvement in these wars puts at risk the future of paleontology, the outcome of a sensational legal battle, and the health and hearts of two couples, a 10-year-old boy, and a dog named Ripley.

One of my favorites of all the books so far!

So much history, adventure, and backstory on the brooches! Also, I loved that not only there was the introduction of new characters but more backstory on existing characters.

Outstanding!!!

I have read and listened to the books in this series by Katherine Lowry Logan, and find myself pulled in by the vivid imagery. I enjoy how the story is original and goes back and forth from present day to history. and mesh together The characters are intriguing, and the history is very interesting. The narration by Teri Schnaubelt is spot on! She is amazing! I cannot wait to hear what happens when all the brooches are joined together.

loved it

I love the how the story grows and as characters develop and emerge from one brooch to the next

Can author give us more after 8 wonderful books!.?

Wow! The author has given us layer adjoining layers of characters and stories that complement each other. One feels almost a symmetry from the characters connections to each other.

I appreciate the authors gift and talent to create these books for us all!

The "stuff" has hit the fan!!!

Another fast paced, high energy adventure for the MacKlenna Clan!! This series just keeps getting better. And the narrator Teri Schnaubelt does such a great job with the different voices, accents and with getting the emotions (and the humor!) just right. Love the new characters, and the development of the familiar characters adds so much to the story. And they all just keep getting into bigger, better trouble...

Katherine Lowery Logan includes the historical details and personalities in such an informative and entertaining way, I end up following up on her richly layered stories to learn even more by reading about the events and people she seamlessly intertwines with the adventure.

The two love stories in this book were sweet with just the right amount of steamy undertones, and I can’t wait to read more as these couples develop and integrate into the family. And I may just go and get a Stegosaurus tattoo this weekend!!

The next installment can’t get here soon enough!!!!

Another exciting book from Katherine Lowry Logan

Great Story, Excellent narrator

I am really enjoying the Celtic Brooch series. The narrator is superb - I could listen to her all the time. The characters are amazing and the narrators performance is just top notch. I'm looking forward to the next book but I'm worried that they've changed the narrator!
