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

 A wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series December 3, 2000

Over the past year, I have treated myself to first two part of this Nora Roberts trilogy. I had high expectations for the third and final book, and I was not disappointed. Heart of the Sea tells the story of Darcy, the last single Gallagher sibling, and Trevor Magee, a couple made for eachother. But also, the story includes the tale of Gwen and Carrick, and how they both hope to find eachother after three centuries of separation. This reunion depends upon the fate of Darcy and Trevor. This book, like the ones that preceded it, is rich with Irish flavor, noticeable in everything from the scenery to the dialogue. The friendly, homey atmosphere established in the first two books is again well maintained in the third. Of course, our friends Shawn, Brenna, Aidan, and a very pregnant Jude are around going on with their daily lives, observing the happenings between their Darcy and the Yank. A quick paced story with many acting characters keeps the readers interest, and a lovely story it is at that. After reading this book, the reader is satisfied and happy for the family they have come to know and love.

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.

Once upon a time, a fairy prince loved a mortal woman, but pride on both their parts kept them apart. In anger, Prince Carrick curses their relationship by forbidding them seeing one another until three couples admit what is inside their hearts. The two Gallagher brothers have done so leaving only their sister Daisy to find her true love. It galls Carrick that Darcyy seems in no rush for he has waited three long centuries to see his beloved Gwen.Trevor Magee has come to Ardmore, Ireland to build a theater attached to the Gallagher Pub. He and Darcy immediately connect, but neither believes they are capable of feeling true love. However, Trevor reconsiders after speaking with the ghosts of a beautiful woman and Carrick. Nora Roberts finishes her paranormal family saga in grandiose style with a happily-ever-after ending that will bring tears of joy to the readers. The hero and heroine are adorable as they are so busy dissecting their feelings they neglect to understand their true meanings. HEART OF THE SEA is Ms. Roberts at her delightful best with another top chartbuster. Harriet Klausner
Roberts' Ireland Trilogy Part 3 August 10, 2001

Nora Roberts' talent for writing dramatic, exciting romance novels resurfaced in *Heart of the Sea*, the final installment in the Ireland trilogy. The male Gallagher siblings' have already been paired off in books one and two, leaving sister Darcy wide open for the next lusty affair. But Darcy, a sharp minded and sharp tongued waitress, expects more than a kiss and some flowers: she desires a man of wealth, adventure, and well, more wealth.Enter Trevor Magee, the rich American who has plans to build a theater next to the ever popular Gallagher Pub. Magee's goals in Ireland are simply to do his job and do his job well. Romance is not in the cards, however, for Trevor has only recently split up with his fiance back in New York. But the moment Darcy and Trevor see one another, sparks fly. With the interfering assistance of Carrick, the fairy prince once refused by the beautiful maiden, Gwen, Darcy and Trevor search for a future together. But only those in the heavens know if they will truly find happiness.
I am a big Nora Roberts fan, but I was disappointed. December 14, 2000

I was looking forward to the conclusion of this trilogy, as I had loved the first one, Jewels of the Sun. The second installment, Tears of the Moon, didn't live up to Ms. Roberts' reputation for warm likeable characters. Unfortunately, for the second time in a row, we have a thoroughly unlikeable heroine. I agree with a previous reviewer who said that Darcy is the "worst sort of money grubber." It seems unrealistic to me for Trevor to believe she'd love him even if he were penniless. Trevor seems to be an okay guy but if he's such a hunk, and rich to boot, why does he feel the need to "buy" her companionship? What saves this book is the charming backdrop of a small Irish village and the rowdy, wonderful Gallagher's Pub. The best parts of the book are the ones where Aidan(the perfect hero, in my opinion) and Jude are in the forefront. Their relationship is so sweet and loving. If this is your first Nora Roberts novel, Heart of the Sea can give you a glimpse of how wonderful her stories are, but she has written far better ones than this.
