Free O Coração Do Mar (Gallaghers Of Ardmore, #3) Drafted By Nora Roberts Offered As Kindle

e último livro da Trilogia Irlandesa, com Darcy Gallagher e Trevor Magee como protagonistas,

Darcy sempre sonhou casar com um homem rico e bonito, Trevor é esse homem. Nenhum deles consegue resistir à atracção instantânea que sentem, nem nenhum deles poderia imaginar que as suas vidas mudariam irremediavelmente e nenhum tencionava apaixonarse pelo outro.
. . mas foi exactamente isso que aconteceu,

Darcy é mimada, determinada, com uma autoconfiança a raiar a arrogância, mas honesta e leal.
Projecta a imagem de mulher fatal, fútil, fria, mas isso é apenas uma das suas facetas, Por debaixo de tudo isso, escondese uma mulher com anseios, sentimentos e medos,
Trevor é metódico, trabalhador, controlado, inteligente e um tanto ou quanto arrogante, Tal como Darcy, também tem desejos profundos e medo desses desejos, pelo que opta por escondêlos.


Ambos têm personalidades fortes, e ambos lutam por manter o controlo da relação, jogando ao gatoerato, durante grande parte do livro.


Mas, como sempre o amor triunfa no fim, . . e não só para Darcy e Trevor, como também como para Carrick e Lady Gwen, O feitiço é quebrado e a espera chegou ao fim, Após trezentos anos, ambos são finalmente livres para viverem o seu amor,

Gostei imenso do livro, Tal como os anteriores, não o consegui largar até chegar ao fim, Gostaria ainda mais se o final fosse um pouco mais elaborado, dandonos uma visão do futuro da família,mas ,mesmo assim, não foi um mau desfecho.


Uma óptima trilogia, cheia de amor e com toques de magia, óptima para nos fazer sonhar e suspirar e para nos fazer querer apanhar o próximo avião e conhecer a Irlanda!.
Recomendo vivamente I know that the real Ireland is not all beautiful lilting voices and magic, but I like going there with Nora Roberts.
My grandmother was a Gallagher, and she hadbrothers and sisters, so I do like the big Irish family vibe in these books.


I agree with other reviewers that Carrick and Gwen's happy ending was a bit shortchanged, If the book had given their story more of a resolution I probably would have given itstars.
Still one of my favorites!! Love this trilogy so much, I've read it too many times to count, In spite of the fact that I loved Jewels of the Sun, and enjoyed Tears of the Moon, I am now officially off the Nora bandwagon.
Heart of the Sea was not a great ending to this trilogy, First of all, I can't imagine something less romantic than two folks making a businesslike agreement about their sexual relationship.
Yuck! This takes place at the beginning of the story, and I realize that it was consistent with their characters, but still.
not romantic, and a bad place to start, I also had a hard time with how mercenary Darcy Gallagher is, . . her greed for wealth and comfort sort of got on my nerves, Trevor, the hero, is quite likable, but not enough to save this book, Finally, the ending was one of the most abrupt and unsatisfying endings I have ever read in a romance novel.
With just pages to go until the end, Darcy is still flinging things at Trevor and pissed off.
Suddenly, they propose their love and yippee! it's HEA forever, Too rushed, totally unbelievable. And, after watching Carrick the fairy king and Gwen his ghostly love suffer and pine for each other throughout all three books, I was really looking forward to their reunion.
Nora gives us a couple of pathetic sentences about them flying off on Carrick's horse into the sky, and that's it.
Another bummer, and no satisfaction, Oh well. The first book, Jewels of the Sun, was really romantic, so I guess I'm glad I gave this trilogy a go.
Grade: B/C

looks up at the rating


Why, I never thought, . . Oh, dear, it actually happened! The day came when I rated a book from Nora Roberts with less thanstars! If my eyes weren't threatened to be plucked right out of their sockets by my own lovely hands, I would feel really guilty especially since I was so big on her being an excellent writer and hating on her haters when I posted my review on Jewels of the Sun.
But I just I COULDN'T HELP IT!

Darcy is the last of the Gallagher siblings, and, as expected, part of the final step to breaking Carrick's spell on his lady, Gwen of the Fitzgeralds.
We all know Darcy, now, don't we The vain and selfabsorbed little sister of the lovely Gallaghers, Aidan and Shawn, and, for some unknowntoallbutGod reason, best friend to Jude and Brenna.
You know, the one obsessed with luxury and materialistic virtues, and the big, wonderful dream to marry a rich, beautiful man who'll treat her as the Queen she's supposedly is Yeah, that one.
Fate brings Trevor Magee, the New Yorker who wants to build a theatre, in Ardmore, and the two form a deal of some sort, to have a sexual relationship with no further restrictions or bonds.


Back when I was reading the Chesapeake Bay Saga, I found myself voting against Phillip, but, when his time came to find love, I nearly liked him as much as his brothers.
I hoped this would be the case with Darcy, I thought:"hey, maybe the girl has more to her than what she shows, she can't be that shallow".
Nah, she was every bit the materialistic spoiled brat I pictured her to be from the other two books.
Girl, you announce, loud and clear, how important a man's financial support is for you to consider getting involved with him, then you suddenly realize you're in love with the guy, curse him for making you fall in love God, really!, and, after

you decide that you're gonna wrap him around your little finger, like he's some kind of incompetent idiot who can't do without you, get all mad at him and nearly bash his head because you get offended for his thinking that you need materialistic persuasion to marry him.
Honestly, she was the one saying the things Trevor told her in the end OK, he could have been a bit more gentle about it, but, as I feel no sympathy for such a woman, I still can't find it in myself to blame him for it, and then she feels sad and insulted


Did anyone make any sense at all from all that Cause.
. . I don't really get it, . .

I dare say, had it not been for the more active parts of Carrick and Gwen, or Trevor who I'm disappointed to see has a fortune to boost, cause I really wanted Darcy to find a poor guy just for the heck of it!, I would have left the book halfway and banged my head on the wall to rid myself of the misery of reading any more of the thoughts going around in Darcy's head.
I don't care that she had a change of heart somewhere near the end of the book, I don't care that she showed a more sensitive side to her during some parts, she still acted like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
I've read about a woman throwing stuff on her love's person out of frustration, but that was Anna Spinelli doing the honors of beating some sense into Cameron Quinn's thick skull, and she was a feisty Italian, she was bound to do it.
Brenna showed some of Ireland's temper in her blood, too, but Darcy No, sorry, I still see a whiny little girl throwing a tantrum around because her mother bought herdolls instead of.
Why don't you just stomp your foot on the ground while you're at it, too, sweetheart, and be done with it

Before I end this, let me give you just a little bit of taste of how selfish Darcy Gallagher really is:
"How are the childbirth classes going"
"Oh, they're fascinating.
Wonderful. Terrifying. The last one"
"If you don't mind," Darcy interrupted, "I've something I need to discuss, I'd hope my two closest friends in the world would have some interest, "

In case you don't understand, this is the scene after Darcy has found out she's in love with Trevor.
She rushed to tell Brenna and Jude, and before she starts, Brenna, as it is polite and right , asks Jude about her childbirth classes.
Which of course does not sit well with Princess, no, Queen Darcy, and she interrupts Jude to make sure the attention's on her and for what To tell them she's in love! Like there hasn't been any other woman who's been in the same position in the whole world! That's how inconsiderate she really is!

I sincerely hope I never encounter any other character like her in any other book from Mrs Roberts!.
