Black Opal

Amulets #3

by Sandra Cox

Book Three in the Amulets series but may be read as a standalone story. Sabina Comte has two passions - singing and Adam Morelly. One has brought her fame and fortune. The other just might get her killed. Sabina possesses a power amulet given to her by the gods. Megalomaniac Victoria Price not only wants the amulet, she wants Adam as well. Killing Sabina would give her both. If dealing with Victoria isn't enough, Sabina discovers Adam's uncle belongs to the mafia. She becomes increasingly suspicious of Adam when he keeps showing up right after someone's tried to kill her. Sabina begins to wonder if Adam and his uncle know about her amulet and are after it too. But even doubt and suspicion cannot alter the growing attraction she has for Adam. When he is badly injured, Sabina puts her heart on the line and races to his side, determined to save him. She is about to find out if love will send her careening toward the celestial heavens or plant her six feet under.

“Black Opal” is the third book in the Amulet series. Sabina is a famous singer who has the power amulet. While singing on stage, she is almost killed but is saved by Adam Morelly, the nephew of a mob boss. There is an immediate attraction between them that she chooses to ignore because of his relatives. Yet, he is determined to keep her safe from someone trying to kill her. Seeing Maureen and Bella back from the first two books is fun. I love their friendship and how they are there for each other no matter what. At the same time, a killer on the loose wants everything these women have, including Adam. There is a sweet moment when Adam also finds a kitten, Bones, in the garbage and takes it in. An excellent addition to the series that can be a standalone read, but I enjoyed reading it from the beginning! A book and series I can easily recommend.

OMG what's next?

I adored all three books of this series and cannot wait to see where it goes from there!
The humor, deviousness, and love made for such a wonderful romp, so much so I have done nothing but read all three novels straight through, Today! (and it's still early...!)
Knowledge and wealth, ...WHEN...
I SO look forward to the next step and the completing of the sisters!

Recommend this series, HIGHLY!
