Return to the Island (Mackinac Island Trilogy #3)
It is the spring of 1818 and Mary O'Shea has returned from England to her beloved Mackinac Island. She loves her life on the family firm and knows that she chose wisely in declining a marriage proposal from James Lindsay, a young duke she met during her travels. She is also delighted to once again spend time with White Hawk, her dearest friend. And although he is often called away to defend Indian claims to native lands, Mary cherishes White Hawk's visits, and hopes that one day he will stay forever. Then suddenly Mary's future comes into question when James appears at her doorstep to ask for her hand—and refuses to leave until she consents. Now it seems that the only way for Mary to discover what her future holds is to uncover the truth of her own heart.
I love these books! It is an amazing series, and Gloria Whelan is an amazing author.
This book uses the familiar plot device of which suitor will she choose. Mary is a lucky lady to have two such nice men battling for her! I could see a lot of the plot points in this coming, but I still enjoyed it. I like White Hawk a lot, but I think their marriage is definitely going to try both of them, with his need to be away so much. Overall, I found this to be a fitting and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
Amazing! I [almost] cried... (I didn't though. :D)
The plot was so predictable I can't say that I liked the novel. But the young audience it is written for will really enjoy it. The love story is concluded and it isn't an easy life that Mary chooses. Her husband has responsibilities to his Indian tribe that will take him away from her months at a time. But his loyalty to his people is one of the reasons she admires him and loves him.

She finds herself caught between White Hawk and Lord Lindsay, who has followed her from England, who both want to marry her. In order to appreciate this conclusion to the trilogy, I think you have to have at least read the second book. I would recommend this book to someone who read the second book. The story does provide some information about the time period.
This book is the conclusion to the series-Mackinac Island Trilogy, and I only wish it would continue on,did not want it to end! I loved all the characters and the historical aspect of the story.

This book, aside from the boring bits with James which were quickly dealt with, was a very nice read. It ended pretty much as expected, but I enjoyed the journey. I felt the characters and plot were very well-developed, especially as this book is marketed to the much-younger crowd (if the huge font size and type setting is anything to go by, haha). Looking back on the series, this was a lovely little revisit of my childhood.(Also I feel I should mention that I thought the Native Americans wereI love these books!
