Amber Beach / Jade Island / Pearl Cove : Three Books In One

Donovan #1-3

by Elizabeth Lowell

Amber Beach, read by Laural Merlington; directed by J.C. Howe; engineered by Luann Kindem. Honor Donovan has been shut out of Donovan International by her father and four brothers. When her brother Kyle vanishes, along with a fortune in stolen amber, Honor's questions are ignored by the Donovan males. Defying them, she heads to the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest in search of answers. Jade Island, read by Sandra Burr, directed by Laural Merlington; engineered by Jill Sovis Wild, rugged, and restless, Kyle Donovan has freed himself from the constraints of his father's high-powered global gem-trading empire to become a treasure hunter for his own business, Donavan Minerals and Gems. Now his older brother Archer, President of Donovan International, has asked Kyle to get to the bottom of the disappearance of cultural treasures from the Tang vaults. Pearl Cove, read by Dick Hill; directed by Ruth Bloomquist; engineered by Jeremy Spanos. It is desperation that inspires young widow Hannah McGarry to call Archer Donovan. She only saw the man twice in the past ten years, and he struck her as a cold, ruthless piece of work. But as a silent partner in Pearl Cove, her late husband's pearl farm business, Donovan might be willing to help her...if the price is right.

I found the man of my dreams... too bad he is a figment of someone elses imagination... He is an ex/ NAVY seal (means he can fight), who can cook, owns a house that backs up to water with a boat, respects family, and is a super strong alpha male that protects her!

This is why I hate reading this type of stuff, makes me jealous, no men are actually like that... oh well, I guess that is why I read it. Definately sent me on a mental vacation from my reality!!

Will take a minute then read the next in the series.

My sister Barbara bought Amber Beach to put on her coffee table at her Ocean City condo. She loved it and recommended it to me and Laura, my sister. We fell in love with the characters of these stories and sought other works by Elizabeth Lowell. Sadly none of her other works have lived up to this series, but I'm soooooo glad I read these.

This is one of my most favorite (re-read) series. I pretty much love the 2nd one the most simply because I am a sucker for complicated yearning type family dynamics. I would gladly love more Donovan stories (even if seh has to trot out a second cousin twice removed, LOL)

[Jason Quigley]

I read the books seperately but they are good, there is a fourth book also, Midnight on Ruby Bay, I think, good book also.

I actually read these all separately but really enjoyed them!
