Hunt nicely wraps up the contemporary story of Kathleen O'Connor who travels to Ireland to research the story of Cahira O'Connor. She blends a great framework for both stories and gives the reader a unique ending to the love story that began her writing and in her own life.

this interweaving two captive stories of romance and intrigue humourand faith. the emerald isle ties up the mutlicolred threads of angela elwell and is serious page turning novel that keeps its readers in supsense, with a concclusion that will satisfy both spirt and heart!

The Emerald Isle was a wonderful ending to an excellent series. Cahira O'Connor, the king's daughter, was a remarkable woman who was brave, intelligent and beautiful. She falls in love with her father's enemy's chief knight, named Colton. This is a gripping story, where honor, love, and sacrifice are beautifully portrayed. Cahira's story is set in the 1200's.

The author does an excellent job portraying life in the age of Chivalry. It was somewhat difficult to read, knowing Cahira's ultimate fate from the previous books. However, the author does a beautiful job bringing the story to closure.

Cahira's story is intertwined with Kathleen O'Connor's, a descendent of Cahira. Kathleen travels to Ireland for few months before attending her best friend's wedding. She stays on the bride-to-be's parent's dairy farm and develops a friendship with her brother, Patrick.

The author does a remarkable job describing life and scenes in Ireland, and includes much information on dairy farming. She has done quite a bit of research in each of the books in this series. They are wonderfully written, and I have benefited greatly from her research into the lives and times of each period. I highly recommend each book, all are terrific!

I devoured the first 3 books of this series. They were moving and wonderful. This book is just as good as the other 3. In this book, we find out the story of Cahira O'Connor. A brave young woman who stood up to her father/king and an opposing force for the man that she loved. We also finish the story of Kathleen O'Connor, who has been doing the research on the descendants of Cahira. She is in Ireland for the wedding of her best friend Taylor and his fiancee (whom she introduced) Maddie.

This book describes the journey of Kathleen's faith, and how she comes to rely on herself for her own happiness. She realizes her own role in the Cahira tradition is not to chronicle the stories, or to take up arms to fight, but to live. She finds her own way in Ireland, and the ending of the book brings everything full circle and to a satisfying conclusion.

The stories of Cahira and Kathleen are juxtaposed beautifully in this wonderful story of God's grace and sovereignty and people's shortcomings. A lovely story of Ireland, past and present. If you love Ireland, this is for you.
