Wow, what an excellent finish to The Secrets of the Isles series. Having read the first two books in the series and several other books by Roseanna M. White, I was eager to read Worthy of Legend. I was not disappointed in the least! It is an engaging historical romance. A person could read this third book of the series and find it an entertaining and satisfying tale but reading the complete series brings a depth to the story one wouldn't want to miss. I liked how the characters are so realistic in their feelings and actions and how they grow and mature in their emotional and spiritual lives as the story unfolds. The friendship that develops between Emily and her lady's maid, Tommie, is sweet. The banter between Bram and Sheridan is realistic and fun to read. The romances, yes, plural! are delightful, although not without obstacles and difficult situations. Oh, that first kiss!!! And, of course, there are those characters that one doesn't like, which adds a little extra dimension and appeal to the story. The history of life on the Scilly Isles, off the southwestern coast of England, during the early 1900s and the legends of King Arthur, are fascinating. Scenes and conversations are authentic and add so much. Lessons of faith throughout give readers much to think about regarding forgiveness, mercy, and one's sense of worth. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
