Description

Robin Bartlett said, "Yes!" Will she say, "I do," when the big day arrives?
From his cultured handsome looks to his vast fortune, Antonio "Tony" Viscolli is every girl's dream. Robin comes from a blistering past, struggling for survival in a cold, cruel world. Robin never had a chance to dream of a white wedding gown or a prince charming. Instead, her dreams were nightmares -- dark and clouded with fear and desperation. By the time Tony thaws her heart, she has known hunger, poverty, violence, and want.
For months, Tony courted the blond beauty with the sapphire eyes. He showered with attention, respect, and charm and covered her in diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Finally, Robin came to understand God's love for her as imitated by the unconditional love Tony freely offered. On a sunny Florida beach, Tony proposed. Back in bitter cold Boston, doubts about becoming a billionaire's bride begin to burden her hopes for happiness. Robin struggles to cope with the never-ending details of the shower, ceremony, reception, and honeymoon; the prospects of changing her name and relocating; and the very public image she must suddenly adopt; all while dealing with her father's very serious legal problems.
As the date draws inexorably near and the pressure mounts, Robin questions whether she is truly the woman God has made for him. Is she the girl of his dreams? His vast material wealth begins to overwhelm her. Nightmares from a forgotten past return in full force, reminding Robin of an even deeper and more terrifying prospect. Will she give in to her insecurities and cancel Boston's "Royal Wedding" for good? Or, with God's guidance, can Tony sacrifice everything to prove to his beloved Robin her true worth
Inspired by the Critically Acclaimed Christian Anthology - The Jewel Trilogy -- Greater Than Rubies takes place immediately after book 1 and before book 2.

    I enjoyed Robin's walk to marriage. It is so nice to read happy books about real people finding their way into a walk with God.

    A continuation of Sapphire Ice, this story shares Robin's struggles with her decision to marry Tony. If you read Sapphire Ice, you have to read this one and see how their story ends!

    Greater Than Rubies is a great continuation of Sapphire Ice. Or, if you haven't read the rest of the story, it's a great "pull you in" point. Tony and Robin are set to get married, but will Robin be able to go through with it? Only time will tell!

    This book is a later-added sequel to Sapphire Ice. It tells the story of Robin and Ton'y wedding. I LOVE the surprise twist! You'll have to read for yourself, and you won't regret it.

    Will Tony's dream really come true? Will Robin walk down the isle or will her doubts and fears win? Everyone loves a wedding but will it really take place? You have to read it to find out what happens to Tony and Robin, characters that you learned to love in the first book of The Jewel Trilogy, Sapphire Ice.
