Audio CD Description 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

Customer Reviews 300 Years Apart and Still No Sensuality! In Jewels of the Sun and Tears of the Moon, we were treated to a glimpse of life in Ardmore, Ireland and exactly what that life entailed if you were a Gallagher. I followed Jude and Adain's love story in the first book and was hooked on this trilogy. Then came the story of Shawn and Brenna and I continued to be enthralled. (I've written reviews on both of these books). But I have to say, that even though I enjoyed the first two, I was anxiously awaiting the story of free-spirited Darcy Gallagher, and the outcome of the love shared between a faerie prince and the love he lost. Ok, so it sounds a bit hokey but what can I say, I'm a romantic! Heart of the Sea is the finale of the Faerie Tale Trilogy and focuses on the youngest Gallagher and only female, Darcy. Darcy is beautiful and has quite the singing voice, as do all of the Gallaghers. I wonder if it doesn't go hand-in-hand with growing up working and owning an Irish pub. Darcy wants to see the world and wants more out of life than what Ardmore can offer. When wealthy American builder Trevor Magee comes to town, there is instant sparks between the two of them. It seems that Trevor's Irish roots have drawn him back to Ireland (or some say it's fate) and he wants to build a theater behind the Gallagher pub. It's not an easy battle - the theater nor his attraction for Darcy, but Trevor decides that both are worth his time and energy. When Trevor hears Darcy sing, he's amazed and has his company offer her a recording contract. It's everything she wants and will enable her to see the world, but at what costs? She's torn between the music that has always been a special part of her life, and the man that she loves. But don't forget the three centuries old spell that needs to be broken in order for Carrick, Prince of the Faeries, to be able to claim his lost love, Gwen. Carrick has two of the three requirements met and just needs Darcy to fall for Trevor in order to finally break the hex. The plot line is a simple romance, with a little made-up mythology thrown in. The book is an easy read and enjoyable, but not without a few bumps along the way. I found the scenes between Gwen and Trevor a bit more than I could handle. It was very sugarcoated and make-believe type stuff. Whereas the scenes in the first two novels were a little more believable, if you can believe in faeries and curses. When the story leaves Ardmore and has Darcy and Trevor traveling it took some of the charm away from the tale. One thing that Nora Roberts does well is write about Ireland (read her Born In series to understand her love for the country and the Irish people) and she shouldn't try to deviate from it in a series about Ireland! I was also a bit disappointed with the ending. Not with the Darcy and Trevor ending, as anyone could predict that outcome, but with the faerie tale ending. It was anticlimactic and I felt let down. There were fireworks, of course, but I expect so much more. After all, Carrick and Gwen had been apart for three hundred years - how about some sensual embraces or something! Overall it was enjoyable and not mind-boggling. Heart of the Sea is a perfect book to take on vacation with you - it can be put down easily and won't interfere with your site-seeing plans. Great, But not her best. This book was as fantastic as the first two. I loved how each character developed into who they wanted to be. the Hero in this book sipmly shines. I love Trevor Magee. He is a wonderful addition to Ms Roberts Heroes. and as much as I loved Trevor, I hated Darcy ten times more. She is a selfish, greedy and arrogant woman. she hides her true self from Trevor but still wants him to understand that she's in love w/ him. The Book was wonderful. But if your annoyed by greey main characters... STAY AWAY!!!! Disappointing To Say The Least.... (Sorry, Mrs R.) The first two books in this series were absolutely fantastic, but this one was boring, and didn't show Darcy in a very good light. Darcy was pretentious, superficial, and was obsessed with greed; fine clothes, nice house, that sort of thing, which had to be the best. She completely overshadowed Trevor, who should have shined here. There's no one better than Nora Roberts, this one just didn't measure up.
