Summary: A great family!
Review: Sea Swept is the first book in the trilogy. The trilogy tells the stories of the three former juvenile delinquents whom a kind man with his wife had adopted. The three teenagers grew up into fine young men due to the love that the couple has showered upon them.

"Sea Swept" is Cameron's story. Due to the death of his father, he was summoned from his beloved fast-paced life of fast cars and pretty girls, back to his old family home. His two brothers were already there but there was an additional younger brother, Seth. Seth was adopted a few months before his father's death. He had a pitiful childhood, similar to the other Quinn brothers. Seth was a untrustful kid who kept mostly to himself. Cameron had to learn to live with his brothers again, but this time also ensuring that the welfare of Seth was met. From there, an attraction blossomed between Cameron and a social worker, Anna Spinelli.

A heart-warming read...

Summary: Complex tale of the healing power of love
Review: Sea Swept is the first of a triology of stories on the Quinn brothers. Cameron, the oldest brother, is an adventurer and risk taker, he races anything on land or the sea. His life style is anything that is fun and challenging. He faces his biggest challenge when he gets a call that his father has been in a terrible car accident. He races home to Cheseapeke Bay from Monte Carlo to find his father near death. Along with his two brothers, Ethan and Phillip, he promises his father they will take in Seth, the latest child Ray Quinn has brought home. Cameron, Ethan, and Phillip were all adopted by Ray and his wife when the boys were young, all damaged by a hard life. So the Quinn brothers promise to take care of Seth and grieve as Ray dies. Follow Cameron as he struggles to come to grips with the loss of his father while trying to reach the wounded heart of Seth. Cameron moves back home to create a stable life for Seth and to appease a fiesty social worker, Anna Spinneli. Cam and his brothers struggle to solve the mystery surrounding Seth and their father as well as the reason behind their father's accident. Cameron and Anna struggle to find a way for their relationship to flourish. Nora Roberts creates a family of believable, flawed, and intriguing characters in this book. I've already started the second and am enjoying it as much as I did the first.

Summary: It doesn't get any better!!!
Review: Sea Swept, Rising Tides, Inner Harbor and Chesapeake Blue are 4 of my favorite Nora Roberts Books. The story line, characters, warmth and romance are all captivating. I fell in love with all of the Quinn brothers (althought Cameron really stole my heart!) This is the first book of 4 and some of Nora's best work ever!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SeaSwept is perfect summer reading!
Review: SeaSwept is my favorite Nora Roberts' book. Actually, the entire Quinn Brothers trilogy is an excellent read (Inner Harbor, Rising Tides). SeaSwept introduces you to the Quinn family and in particular, Cameron Quinn. Ms. Roberts' male characters are always strong, sensitive men with an incredible sense of family and morals. Upon meeting Cameron in the opening pages of this book, he's what one would call a "player." But when called upon by his siblings during a family crisis, he comes through shining. It has always been the three Quinn brothers but a family tragedy brings about the possibility of there being a fourth Quinn that they had no knowledge of. SeaSwept is a familial story of strenghth and love and of the ties that bind fathers & sons and brothers to each other. As with each of the Quinn boys, they must come to face their past demons and ultimately, their present, as they each make their way into the future and join to affect the future of their youngest brother, Seth. It is an excellent read and is enchanced by the story setting of the eastern seaboard town in which it takes place.

Summary: One of Nora's Best Trilogies!
Review: The first novel, Sea Swept, introduces the story of three adopted brothers and how the deal with the loss of their father and the gain of another adopted brother. Therefore, to fully understand the situation and the developing relationship with the brothers, the series should be read in order: Sea Swept, Rising Tides, Inner Harbor, Chesapeake Blue.

The books take place on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Therefore, be prepared to read about the lives that accompany Maryland natives.

Each book in the trilogy tells the love story of one of the brothers, beginning with Cameron, the first boy adopted. The brothers have completely different personalities, which allows the reader to better relate to one brother of the four.

Cameron, the star of Sea Swept, is extremely outgoing with breathtaking looks. Before the events that take place in Sea Swept, Cameron's heart lied in racing and women. Now, he unexpectantly falls for a woman whose main goal is to make sure the new addition to the family (brother number four) is properly cared for and his biological mother does not interfere.

Rising Tides is my favorite book in the series, dealing with the shy but undeniably masculine brother, Ethan. He is the only one of the three brothers who decided to stay on the shores of the Chesepeake and care for his father. His life is immensely simple, spending his days as a fisherman on the bay. The love story that develops between him and his lifetime love is the most romantic of the series.

Phillip's story is developed in the third book of the series, Inner Harbor. This book is immensly important in the trilogy because a great number of unanswered questions are resolved during this story. Phillip is a hansome, well-mannered, businessman with a taste for fine wine and beautiful women. Not prepared to ever become a family man, a mysterious woman with a suprising background comes into town and steals Phillip's heart on first site.

The last book of the series, Chesapeake Blue, tells the story of the last adopted brother, Seth. Twenty years have elapsed since Inner Harbor. This was the perfect ending to a breathtaking series. In this book, you are able to see how Seth has dealt with his new surroundings and if he has been able to separate himself from his biological mother. The book also updates readers on the lives of Seth's three brothers and their families. Seth unexpectantly falls in the love with a new businesswoman in town. They develop a relationship as friends that blooms into undying love, respect, and compassion.

I highly recommend any romance novel fan to read this series. You won't regret the time spent!

Summary: Her Best Trilogy Yet!
Review: The Quinn Brothers Trilogy are the favorite of this Nora Roberts fan. The characters in all three books are unique, woven through a plot that is refreshingly different. The Seth character is true to his age and gender (10 year old boy) and brings the other characters together is an interesting way. Of all the Nora Roberts books, these are her best. Enjoy

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Didn't find what everyone else apparently did...
Review: This book got a lot of great reviews, but I found it lacking. The romance between Cameron and Anna was too contrived and found myself liking the story, but not the romance, which is a moot point because the book is a romance. I thought the romance was kind of 'corny' and I couldn't warm up to the character of Cameron. He had no responsibilities and didn't seem to think anything of the fact that he didn't work and he was 35. Simply put, Anna could've done better.

~This is the first book in a trilogy including, 'Rising Tides' and 'Inner Harbor', Cameron's other brothers. A tale about three brothers, all as different as night and day and all adopted juveniels taken in by a deceased man and woman who showed them true love. The brothers are called on when the father is dying and he asks them to take care of yet another son, this one is just 9 and lots of trouble. What the brothers soon find out is that the boy is reputed to be his true son! Why had he abandoned his only true son when the man obviously loved kids? Did he hide a seedy secret and past?

Anna Spinelli is the case social worker asigned to work with the brothers and to take notes on the boy's (Seth) progress, what she doesn't expect is to fall madly in love with the boy's new brother Cameron. A wild and troubled man that had been wrung through the 'system' and refuses to see Seth go through the same fate. She is caught in the whirl of secrets and lies as she tries to help the brothers keep the troubled boy Seth and doesn't know if loving Cameron is helping the situation or hurting it.

Summary: HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: This book is the best book ever and so are the the 3 following it. I am only 15 years old and I hate to read but my mother kept telling me that she had these books that i would not be able to hate. So finally one day I got bored so i picked up Sea Swept and after that i was hooked. I couldn't even put it down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A excellent book!!
Review: This is my first Nora Roberts book that I have read. I am a guy and I heard great things about her writings. I also seen alot of women reading her books so I was curious to seen what all the fuss is about. I thought this was a great story with characters that really come to life.

The story revolves around Cameron Quinn and Anna Spinelli. Quinn comes home from Europe after hearing of his foster father's illness. His dad dies and Quinn is left to care for a 10-year old boy with his brothers. Anna is the social worker assigned to the case. Her and Cameron fall in love over the course of the novel.

The plot was detailed, the characters strong and (thank God!) it wasn't too mushy with the love scenes. Robert's writing style is one where she switches back and forth between the characters, looking at things from their perspective. I was pulling for the two main characters all through the book. This may have been my first romance novel that I have completed, but I do not think it will be my last. I have heard of some good things about some author named Deveraux....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome start!!!
Review: This is the first book in the trilogy about the Quinn brothers. SeaSwept introduces you to the Quinn family and in particular, Cameron Quinn. The male characters are very strong, sensitive men with an incredible sense of family morals.

I thought this was a great story, the plot was detailed and very strong characters! The story revolves around Cameron Quinn and Anna Spinelli.

This is story of strength and love and of the ties or fathers and sons and brothers. Each brother must come to face their past demons and make their way into the future and join together which will affect the future of their youngest brother, Seth.
It is an awesome read and the setting in an eastern seaboard town.
