They ruined his life, and he wants revenge.

Losing the sapphire necklace cost Brandon more than a big payout—it cost him his status in the criminal underworld. Scoring the Livingston ruby collection will restore his reputation, and he knows just how to get his hands on it.

For Kristine, falling for Charlie was easier than breathing, despite the way they met. Being with him makes the memory of her terrifying ordeal seem like nothing more than a bad dream.

When Brandon takes her captive, the nightmare returns. Held for ransom, at the mercy of her cruel kidnapper, she struggles to hold onto her faith in Charlie. This time, the jewel thief refuses to lose.It’s the rubies or Kristine’s life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A jewel of a story
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020
Our heroine gets caught up in a kidnapping for ransom. This is her second kidnapping and she is not particularly thrilled.

This is book two in the series. The plot is self-contained and you can read this one without having read the first, but you will not completely understand the character relationships at first. It becomes clear, but it might be best to read them in order.

This is a novella length romance with some intrigue and suspense thrown in. The story is well written and easy to read, with a straightforward plot that is both engaging and fun to read. The characters are well developed and have good chemistry together. I enjoyed the sense of urgency that came with the kidnapping and the way the plot evolved. Overall, it was an enjoyable weekend read and I look forward to going back for the first book.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic suspense!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020
This book is about a young woman named Kristine who was modeling jewels for a jewelry company when she gets kidnapped along with a member of the company owner's family. The kidnapper wants ransom in the form of lots of rubies from the jewelry company. There is lots of danger and suspense as they try to rescue the women, all leading to a dramatic confrontation at the end. I recommend this book to readers who like a good romantic suspense story that's not too long to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd in novella series
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020
I really enjoyed book 1 but I think i liked this one even better because now instead of fearing Charlie, I kind of want him for myself. Kristine remains are martyr and beautiful model. We meet Charlie's sister this time around and as with any sister she makes things more difficult when all a girl is trying to do is wear her jewels and pretty dress. I believe a good review needs no spoilers so i won't say much more BUT getting kidnapped in formal wear has gotta suck.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020
Heart Heist Ransoming the Rubies starts with a bang and keeps on going. It's a fast paced, intriguing thrill ride. Kristine is certainly feisty and charlie is a true fighter. Kari Shuey has written an exciting crime drama with a hint of romance.

An awesome next novella installment in this gems series. I loved seeing the characters from the first book and getting to know new characters too. I was definitely blindsided multiple times in this book. I can’t wait for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's got it all! Love, hate, jewels, gorgeous girls, double agents and so on and do forth!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020
Kristine was kidnapped once before. She didn't like it. She was covertly dating the son of a man who created masterpieces with rare jewels. No-one knew that the same man who kidnapped her would accidently take her again as they deliberately took the daughter of the jeweler. He wanted all the ruby jewelry and revenge on the whole family.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2020
This is the 4th book I've read written by Kari Shuey; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.
