Roseanna M. White ends The Secrets of the Isles series with Worthy of Legend, an emotional and captivating romance.
Book Blurb
After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented discoveries they’ve made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family. Horrified by her brother, who stops at nothing to prove himself to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her family–even when it means being cut off entirely.
Bram Sinclair, Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table–an interest he’s kept mostly hidden for the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece the legends together.
As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of archeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of selfless love?
My Thoughts
First of all, I have to say I love Bram. He wasn’t my favorite at first, but in To Treasure an Heiress, I fell in love with his wit and morning grumpiness. I also loved how protective he was of Emily. Worthy of Legend provides more layers to his character, and I am here for it! Sheridan is still my favorite hero of the trilogy, but Bram is a close second.
I also loved seeing Emily grow, though. She really comes into her own and becomes a strong woman without sacrificing her gentle and loving spirit. Her arc is my favorite of the series.
I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention Briggs and Enyon, though. I’ve been wondering about him, but seeing him get a story made me happy. And she does it so well.
The spiritual arc about loving others and having deep faith in God provides a lot of food for thought.
Overall, Worthy of Legend is a sweet romance historical fans will love, especially those who love a bit of adventure in their books.
