Mount Desert Island #5
Glistening Sunsets
It’s spring in Bar Harbor, and Brittany Keating is on top of the world.
After twenty years of emotional abuse, Brittany has finally set a restraining order against her husband, Conner.
With the divorce proceedings in motion, Brittany uses her newfound inner power to flourish in the antique industry. She plans a redesign for her beautiful shop, Bar Harbor Antiques, and drives across New England with her daughter, Valerie— purchasing gorgeous pieces like the Federico Munari Velvet Curved Sofa, a nineteenth-century French commode, and a Chinese Chippendale, to name a few.
Without her husband to hold her back, Brittany is already better than ever before— richer, stronger, healthier, and happier.
But her entire future crumbles when, in the dark of the night, someone breaks into her warehouse and steals nearly thousands and thousands of dollars worth of inventory.
The robbery sets Brittany off on a hunt to catch the thief. Together with her cousins, the Harvey Sisters, Luke, her daughter, and a handsome police officer named Brad, Brittany fights for her newfound freedom.
Throughout the trauma and very real pain of being wronged, Brittany finds solace in family and laughter, in gorgeous dinners at the Keating House, and silly conversations with her daughter.
Dive into this new women’s fiction series, Mount Desert Island— an unfolding family drama of heartache, longing, and secrets on a beautiful island off the coast of Maine.

Have you known a great manipulator??
In Glistening Sunsets, Katie Winters writes about Brittany, a sweet, wonderful women who finds the strength to leave a very master manipulative emotional abuser. In this series Ms. Winter's writes about a family of woman who have all been badly treated. They found strength in their love and respect for each other to deal with their marital adversaries. I read through this in practically one sitting it was such a good book. I believe many women will relate to Brittany in a number of ways.
Brittany grew up in Bar Harbor with a widowed Dad who owned and operated an Inn and Fine Dining Establishment, Brittany learned to work in all areas of his business but her heart was not in it. She dreamed and drew up plans for building a business out from her true love of antiques. The story jumps ahead to present day and then the fireworks begin. This story is filled with heartache, deep regret, mystery, intrigue, redemption and of course, Love. I can not wait to read the next in the series. Thank you for a great read!

Katie Winter's Glistening Sunsets has a great storyline. I enjoy the combination of good and "evil" characters. Also, several characters have faced sadness in their lives and decided to move ahead with their "dreams" and better themselves. It's nice to see the character development. I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I think seeing Brittney move from her abusive marriage with Conner and become the strong independent woman was great. Her daughter helped her made a huge difference. I also thought having her family be part of the story - her cousins and kids - made it more real. Love seeing the way Ben becomes stronger and more sure of himself as well. Brittney and Ben dance round each other which was pretty fun too. Read this book, you will not be disappointed.

Katie Winters in Glistening Sunsets creates many different situations with different characters from past books and introduced a few new ones to show what they are made of and what they can do with family and friends’s support and love. However, it was very predictable!

Glistening Sunsets
A great story full of adventures, lying, and love! It amazes me how deceit could cause so much negative consequences! The characters were successful in turning the whole negative happenings to the positive! Highly recommended reading!

It could have been good (not great), but I was constantly distracted by all the spelling & technical errors.
Was this book not proofread?
I have never seen so many mistakes in a book as this one has.

Great story of betrayal and coming to terms with lost love. Ben and Brittany worked hard to right the wrong. It looks like along the way they have found a new relationship. The family sticking together to support in hard times. Enjoying this series of women’s fiction. I received this arc for an honest review.
