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

Nora Roberts brings her acclaimed Irish trilogy to a close with this tale of a woman whose dreams of riches lead her to the heart's greatest treasure.

I still miss the Gallaghers of Ardmore.
I loved every minute of this trilogy.
One of the few series I have read 3 times.
Ms. Roberts did give a special short story to take us into the Gallagher's
future.
[...]
It made me cry.
I wish there was more she could tellm us about them.
I miss them again everytime I finish the series.
And yes it makes me want to go to Ireland.

Wow what fun this Trilogy has been to read. The third book is just as good as the first two. Makes me want to take off to Irland and go looking for fairies and love.

This was a very satisfying conclusion to a much-loved series! I was thoroughly charmed by the cultural immersion, the likeable characters, and the dose of Irish magic. However, I felt that this last story was a bit drawn out - I found myself growing a tad impatient with Darcy and Trevor for creating obsticles to their relationship instead of resolving their issues and coming together through open communication. Still, I highly recommend this lovely trio of stories!

Irish Trilogy - Book 3

The conclusion brings Darcy to the forefront. She is restless working and singing the family pub. She longs for an exciting better life and wants the finer things for herself. Darcy comes off as shallow and materialistic.

Trevor Magee is a businessman searching for his Irish roots while building the new theater, and too much of the story was spent on the construction. He is an arrogant flashy, and doesn't mind flaunting it.

These two have to be together for the story to conclude, and for the spirits to be at rest.

While I enjoyed the first two books in this series, I had to force myself to finish "Heart of the Sea." I cannot truly enjoy one of these escapist books if I dislike the heroine, and Darcy, while okay in small doses, is not likeable enough to carry the entire book. Trevor was bland and boring. I don't expect realism in romance novels, but Nora Roberts usually provides an entertaining read. I can't say as much for this book, unfortunately.
