The Jewels in Manhattan by Carmen Reid




I haven’t read a Carmen Reid book in a while as I loved the Annie Valentine Series, so I was   looking forward to reading this book and boy I was not disappointed.

In this wonderful Jewel Sisters, Amber moves up to New York a year after her father dies for a fresh start but not for long as her sisters are hot on her heels. Emerald and Sapphire decide they need a fresh start away from Texas too…

All three sisters have different personalities Amber is a dress down kind of gal and doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. She works in a bank and has been there for just under a year now. Then there’s Sapphire who is  a princess in her own right and loves all old and shiny things  which suits her job in the auction house , but she has a story runaway bride but seems to fall in love to quickly which seems to get her into trouble. Then there the lovely Emerald who has two jobs to get by and wants to be a wanna be actress but has a taste for shoplifting.

We catch up with Amber and Sapphire doing a bit of window shopping with Money they don’t have and nearly home they pop in a local designer Jewellers to cheer them up when the shop is raided, both the girls survive but the owner has lost a lot of stock. Walks in Detective Jack he interviews them and from the start there is chemistry between Amber and the detective.

When Amber loses her job from the bank as she was last in so first out, but thinks she lost her job because she informed a client that she had to stop paying money into a charity that only her family benefited from. So money became tight in the Jewel house hold.

So when Sapphire comes home and tells the girls that’s her action house was to sell the Windsor Jewels, Emerald just to dream and making plans to stealing them……. While Emerald is plotting Amber relationship with Jack is hotting up and finds that they have a lot of things in common, and that he has caught the men he was looking for he also does catch them in the end. Amber insists that Emerald drops her plans for the jewels they go for drinks and she wakes the next morning and she realizes that her drink was spiked by her own sister… Amber arrives at the scene just in time buy Emerald says that she never went through with it but has somehow managed to pick up the stolen jewels so sister love kicks in and she hides the jewels in the community garden for her. Then tries to stop her selling the jewels before Jack catches them!!!! Amber had fallen for Jack he was her happy ever after.
