Summary: interesting
Review: I spent this book alternating between being impressed by Ethan, wanting to hug him, and wanting to smack him upside the head. It was a pretty good book, and I liked the way Ethan interacted with the people around him.It clearly falls into the category of light romance reading, but kept a decent plot line and didn't dissolve into the trash that a lot of them do. Still, the plot didn't go very far, focusing mostly on Ethan and Grace's romance with only a little of the other things in their lives thown in. Check it out for a quick read, and check out Phillip's Story in Inner Harbor for the conpletion of the plot line.

Summary: Read the whole series
Review: I thought Rising Tides was the weakest of the first three Chesapeake books, perhaps because I wasn't as interested in the characters Ethan and Grace as I was in Cam and Anna. Ethan and Grace were very sweet, and Grace's experiences as a single mother added a nice, homey touch, but I simply wasn't as drawn to their characters. However, this is still a good book and I highly recommend the series.

Summary: Sounded like a Harlequin romance novel.
Review: I was expecting to hear something like James Michener's Cheasapeake novel. I was disappointed. The story sounded more like a Harlequin romance novel.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I've bought the whole trilogy and somehow I thought that this one is the best from all three. I loved Ethan's character from the first time (Sea Swept, I mean). He was the calmest of all Quinns and it was wonderful to read his story with Grace. Not too much "explosion" between them like Cam & Anna or Phillip & Sybill. But that's the way I liked it. Ordinary, simple, but engaging till the very end.

Summary: Almost as good as "Sea Swept"
Review: If I hadn't read "Sea Swept" first I probably would have liked this book even more! But it had a lot to live up to. Also, Nora Roberts probably did Ethan a disservice in "Sea Swept" because he wasn't portrayed as a very engaging or entertaining character in that book. Well, she did a great job in this book of proving that illusion wrong. Ethan and Grace were very well-written and you just wanted things to work out (even though you knew they would!).

Summary: Wonderfully Written
Review: Out of the three I've read, Rising Tides with Ethan has been the one that stood out the greatest. His troubled past was so heart wrenching that it brought tears to my eyes. To think that some children go through the same thing... It was so satisfying to see him through it all and grab a woman who seems very right for him. When his past came to haunt him again, she was there for him and guided him through, eventually marrying Ethan, a brilliant character. I don't know how Nora Roberts created him so well and FULL...the past that grabbed me and threw me more deeply into the story. Please don't let this be the last of the series.

Summary: Still Waters Run Deep
Review: Rising Tides centers on Ethan Quinn, the middle Quinn brother. Nora Roberts's description of this quietly pensive character flows in a seamless effort. The daily life of a waterman and the small-town life in St. Christopher's will draw you in and stay in your mind for a while. It's a simple love story about two simple people, exquisitely tied together in 339 pages (paperback version).

Summary: Superb! Even my *shy* man loved this one!!!
Review: Rising Tides is Ethan Quinn's story. The second in the trilogy by Nora Roberts, its setting remains on the eastern shores of Maryland. The Quinns are still embedded in the guardianship battle for young Seth, all residing in the family home together. Cam has married his social worker, Anna, and she is the only female in the household. With Anna brightening the four males home, Grace continues her job of cleaning it, becoming her fast friend. Ethan has loved Grace all his life, though found no reason to tell her. Anna sees the love between the two star-crossed fools and sets her cap to fix that. The story weaves surprises, family fights, and a familial love second to none, in the most delightful ways. Cam and Phillip are there to nudge the quiet, shy Ethan on, as brothers do. Aggravatingly, fondly. Seth adores Grace and feels it's his job to protect her. Her little toddler, Aubrey, born of a short disastrous marriage, is everybody's pet, especially Seth's. Ethan and Grace's tale is quite charming, full of shyness and strength, humor and frustration. It grabs you by the tail and doesn't let go!
