Unexpected turn of events in this Book 4

I have listed to the other three books in this series. This one had an unexpected turn of events in the brooch's time travel series of events and meeting her soul mate. Another great story by Katherine Lowry Logan. The narration was excellent. Teri Schnaubelt does a great job. IT is very easy to listen to stories that she has narrated.

I recieved this book for free from the narrator in exchange for my honest review

How far do you need to go to find love?

What made the experience of listening to The Emerald Brooch the most enjoyable?

First, Katherine writes very well, so listening one of ther book is pleased. Second, the author uses not only the Second World War as backdrop to the plot, but also the internal wars Kenzie locks to be seen in the midst of a battle.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Emerald Brooch?

For me is impossible choose only one moment. All the book is perfect.

What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emotion.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes. THe moment Kenzie was captured and tortured. Here Katherine mades the moment be intense. wjthout be cruel.

Any additional comments?

Well, as all Katherine's book, this too is longer, with a slow narration. But is amanzing too. In this book we see the love between Kenzie and her soulmate grow stronger amid the numerous wars throughout the book.

Glad I Wasn't There

I loved that this book was set in England right before D-day. It gave me a feeling of discomfort and a little more appreciation for the perils from those days. Great character development.

Best time travel romance with a twist!

Any additional comments?

I simply loved the Emerald Brooch by Katherine Lowry Logan and it is my favorite in the series so far! As I said with the first book in the Celtic Brooch series, when I listen to these books, I can't help put feel totally immersed like I did the first time I read the Outlander series by Dianna Gabaldon in the early 1990's.

The story begins with West Point graduate and Army hero Kenzie Wallis-Mannging who retires from the Army after suffering substantial wounds and PTSD during her second deployment. While studying in England, she receives a package from Scotland with an Emerald Brooch. As she reads the inscription on the inside of it, she is whisked back to WWII London - a mere week before D-day. This particular book also has a twist in it that is not found in other time travel books. I can't say more or I'd be revealing a spoiler! Let me just say that Kenzie meets her soul-mate back in 1944 and both come back to present day. Both characters are portrayed realistically with flaws, fears, and hope. I especially enjoyed how the story comes “full circle” at the end and I felt that all loose ends were resolved to great satisfaction.

Teri Schnaubelt narrated this audiobook as she did with the prior three stories in the series. Her narration is simply fantastic. She really brings the characters to life, using a variety of accents and giving each character their own distinct voice. Her reading is nicely paced throughout and she kept me enthralled listening late into the night. I can't wait for the next Celtic Brooch story!

Great book!

This is a really fun historical time travel romance book. I really enjoy how with each book in the series you meet new people but also get to know how everyone else is doing. I look forward to the next book!

Again, it had potential

I don't understand!! These stories have great characters, great plots and great historical situations.. but, she has not figured out , in my opinion, how to make the love interests fall in love.. The last books have been uncomfortable to read...

Will the Miracle Worker Meets His Match?

Kenzie Wallis-Manning, former Captain and now law and history student living in London, England receives a mysterious package from a solicitor in Scotland. Inside she finds an antique puzzle box containing an Emerald Brooch. As she is examining the brooch she discovered that the stone is hinged and inside is a Gaelic inscription. Upon speaking the inscribed words she is whisked away into the past to 28 May 1944 just prior to D-Day.

Who you gonna call? David McBain

David McBain, former Major, is hard at work on his new fiction when he receives a call from a friend and attorney, Jim Manning. Jim's half-sister, Kenzie, has vanished.

After a few days of extensive research and preparation David and his friend, fellow author and brother of Dr. Charlotte Mallory (from The Sapphire Brooch), Jack Mallory head from present day to hopefully 1944 to find Kenzie and bring her home.

So begins another wonderful tale of the Celtic Brooch series from author Katherine Lowery Logan and narrated by the talented Teri Schnaubelt.

I truly enjoy Ms Logan’s descriptions of both past and present, but especially the sensory details. With the addition of Ms Schnaubelt’s fabulous narration, character voices and inflections it makes it easy to let your brain put you front and center in the story.

There are more hints as to the possible origin, numbers, and reasons for the brooches throughout but even more questions arise at the end of the book. I anxiously await the next Celtic Brooch audiobook.
