Emerald Isle is such an intriguing story that once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I don't even know what I liked more- the actual plot line and twists and turns or the wonderful romance. All I know is that this was a book that I just did not want to end. Ever.Audyn got on my nerves at first. Not something you thought I would say since I just proclaimed my love for Emerald Isle, huh? Just hear me out. She knew she was hot stuff and she seemed almost cocky about it at the start of the book. She declared a "boys free summer" and right away all the guys at the resort were falling all over her. Not only was she not surprised that they all liked her- she expected it. Then she met Levi and another layer of herself was revealed. I liked her more. Then she met Tristan and I really got to know the true Audyn and she is nothing like my initial impression of her! I really liked her. She can be vulnerable and sweet and nice and she is such a selfless person. I loved watching her character develop and unfold as the story went on.Let's be honest- with all the guys at the resort liking her and then with Levi and Tristan showing up out of no where, I knew this book was not going to be anything near a boy free summer. And I was right. There are guys galore, but I only had eyes for Tristan. I liked him almost immediately. Same thing with his little sister. She sure is a spitfire!I thought the plot twist- this war that the summary speaks about was awesome! I loved learning about the history and about everything really. I'm not going to tell you what it is but it really wasn't some big secret- I had it figured out pretty early on. Well, the basics anyways.The best thing about Emerald Isle is that it just keeps getting better and better as you read it. It just keeps growing and growing. I can't wait to see what Kate is going to do with the next book. I would love it to be about tristan some more! The romance in this book is one of my favorites of the year. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. I was just hopping it would go another way. The ending that happened was nice and I liked it, but I would have liked something else a lot more. And the problem is that I had it in my head that I wanted "X" to happen and then "Y" happened. I am still holding out hope that there is going to be a twist in the next book and I will get my way with how the story will go. Really, I just want to experience the magical romance that Kate Hinderer created! I loved it!Has anyone else read the book? Do you know what kind of ending I was hoping for? I just don't want to be alone in this haha Let me know!4.5/5 gavels*Disclaimer- I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any compensation in exchange for my review.
