*Disclosure*This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
In 1920, Annabeth De
Lacy's father is appointed landlord of Galway Parish in Ireland. Bored
without all the trappings of the British Court, Annabeth convinces her
father to arrange an apprenticeship for her with the Jennings
family--descendants of the creator of the famed Claddagh Ring.
Stephen
Jennings longs to do anything other than run his family's jewelry shop.
Having had his heart broken, he no longer believes in love and is weary
of peddling the ÒliesÓ the Claddagh Ring promises.
Meanwhile, as
the war for Irish independence gains strength, many locals resent the
De Lacys and decide to take things into their own hands to display their
displeasure. As events take a dangerous turn for Annabeth and her
family, she and Stephen begin to see that perhaps the "other side" isn't
quite as barbaric and uncultured as they'd been led to believe--and
that the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty are only made stronger
when put through the refiner's fire.
Travel to the Emerald Isle for another poignant and romantic story from the enchanted pen of Jennifer Deibel.
My Review:
OMG! Y'all Ireland is on my bucket list and reading anything about it helps my long for it even more. Okay so basically Annabeth is the princess type and she sees Stephen as beneath her, basically. She is very flippant towards him but at some point in the story she sees him differently. He doesnt want anything to do with romance, but soon thigs drift towards love and romance and he is smitten, as well.
With war going on around them it kind of changes their prospective on things and they fell in love little by little. A great story but a very typical one, at best. This book is rather long winded but you do want to follow along to see where it is headed.
A great read!
