It was a great read. I am not always a fan of trilogy books, but I may have to read the rest in this series. Although, this book can stand alone, you are left wondering about the back story of each character.From a Christian perspective it definitely explains that everyone no matter what your past is, God can change and restore the brokenness of your life. One is never without hope when you trust God to lead your life like the characters Tony and Robin.Also, the character of Tony knew how much he was blessed and he extended that to a homeless guy. When you are blessed with much then you should pay it forward and Tony did.Tony's wealth meant nothing to him without the love of his life and he was willing to give it all away for Robin. That is very symbolic of what God did for us. He loved us so much that He gave his all, His only son Jesus, for us. Greater than RubiesRobin Bartlett plans her wedding. But she has qualms that she might not be good enough to be Tony’s wife. Her long-absent father has found the Lord and is awaiting a court date to do the right thing about what happened a long time ago. She gets nightmares that terrify her. Tony patiently waits while Robin decides that she wants to marry him.Greater than Rubies shows the anxiety of a young woman who sees what lies ahead for her and is scared of how she will be perceived by others. A reporter from one of the newspapers wreaks havoc in his first interview with her. This adds to her angst about not feeling good enough to marry Tony.Hallee Bridgeman writes this novella with a surprise in the ending that seems to come out of nowhere. I believe that anyone who likes Christian Romance stories will enjoy these two stories.These two stories are a part of the Jewel Trilogy. Greater that Rubies is a novella inspired by the trilogy.Disclaimer: I was given this book by the author, through The Book Club Network. All I was asked to do was read the two stories and give an unbiased review.
What do You think about Greater Than Rubies (2012)?
I was excited to read this follow up to Sapphire Ice. A must read!!
