Book Reviews of Heart of the Sea (Irish Trilogy, Book 3)

Book Review: You'll be sad to see the Gallaghers go!
Summary: 5 Stars

I sure was sad to see them leave. When I held _Heart of the Sea_ in my hands at the bookstore, I had mixed feelings running through me... a part of me wanted to rush up to the counter slap some money into the cashier's hand and then rush home and gobble it up. Another part of me wanted to carefully set the book cak down and walk away so that I would have a part of Ardmore waiting for me for as long as I liked. In a way, it seemed to me that buying _Heart of the Sea_ was like sealing it's fate. As soon as I bought it, it would be like saying good bye to a cherished friend. It seemed as if I bought _Heart of the Sea_ I would be sending the Gallaghers away, for their story would end. If this little battle is going on inside you, put an end to it right now. _Heart of the Sea_ was worth the wait and Nora Roberts once more delivers many hours of pleasurable reading.

Travel again to the little town of Ardmore, a place of love, magic and faeries. Meet up with the Gallaghers, two of them happily married. Aidan and Jude are two peas in a pod, or should I say three, as the Jude you'll meet in here is a very pregnant Jude. Shawn and Brenna still have their arguments about their future, but the love between them is obvious. And then there's Darcy, the wild Gallagher. What about her? She's always said she wanted to land a rich husband, but when the wealthy Trevor Magee comes to the sleepy little town to build his theater, is it Darcy's dream come true?

Trevor is drawn to Ardmore because of his past. His roots are sunk into the little town, and when he visits, he finds that it is the perfect spot to build a theater. And, Darcy Gallagher might not be a bad thing to amuse himself with. She's gorgeous, intelligent, and talanted. The two are attracted to each other, and it seems like it will be the perfect relationship as the two of them are determined that they are not capable of love. But, as the days progress, they do fall in love. Can they both sacrifice their pride to admit it?

I loved _Heart of the Sea_. I've been waiting for it ever since the end of the last book. Oh, if only all waiting was rewarded this sweetly! In the last books of the Ardmore trilogy, we got to know Darcy, and many people came to think of her as a brat. In _Heart_, you get inside Darcy's head, and realize that she's not the selfish person you once thought. Trevor was definitely a good match for her, and they both play very nicely off each other. Nora Roberts did a very good job of fleshing him out and making him come alive. It was very entertaining to watch them interact.

In the previous books of the Ardmore trilogy, Ms. Roberts captures the essence of Ireland. She's captured it in _Heart_ also, but she's got something else too. Music. Nora Roberts has grasped the heart of music and stuck it into this book. It's amazing. You can almost hear it. The swells, the cries, it's all here. Her writing talant shines and it will capture you.

The only thing that disapointed me about _Heart of the Sea_ was the lack of ending between Carrik and Gwen. They are the underlying rythum of these books, and when their spell is finally put to an end, there's not very much attention put to it. But, it's not enough to ruin the book. All in all, _Heart of the Sea_ is a fantastic read, and I can't wait to visit the Gallaghers again soon. Buying this book doesn't put an end to the trilogy. No, it's just the begining.

Summary of Heart of the Sea (Irish Trilogy, Book 3)

The breathtaking conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with Jewels of the Sun and Tears of the Moon...

Darcy Gallagher has always believed in the pull of fate, the magic of legend... and the importance of money. She longs to find a rich man who will sweep her away - into a world filled with glamour and adventure, and the exotic life that is her destiny...

A wealthy businessman with Irish blood, Trevor Magee has come to Ardmore to build a theater - and uncover the secrets hidden in his family's past. He thought he had given up on love long ago, but Darcy Gallagher tempts him like no woman ever has. She's gorgeous, intelligent, and she knows what she wants - and he's more than willing to give it to her. But as their mutual attraction flares into passion, they look into their hearts - and find out what happens when you truly believe...


Bestselling author Nora Roberts has another classic on her hands with Heart of the Sea. This final installment in Roberts's faerie tale trilogy returns readers to Ardmore, Ireland, where the Gallagher family's pub is the heart of the community. Passionate and beautiful, Darcy Gallagher works as a waitress in the family pub while looking for a way to achieve the glamorous lifestyle to which she would like to become accustomed. Enter wealthy American builder Trevor Magee, whose Irish roots have drawn him back to the childhood home of his grandfather to build a theater. As Darcy and Trevor revel in the heated sexual attraction that flares between them, neither believes that they are the final key to end an ancient spell that separated Carrick the Faerie Prince and his human lady love, Gwen. But Ireland is a magic place, where the faeries dance among mere mortals and love blossoms under starry skies. Let veteran storyteller Nora Roberts transport you to the Emerald Isle, home of the little people and overwhelming passion. --Alison Trinkle
