Rating: Summary: Superb Review: I had not read the other three books in the series before this one, but I understood things fine. Not in any other book did the characters make me feel so much. I would find myself laughing out loud at the Quinn Brothers' antics, scowling when Seth and Dru were at odds with each other, etc. The "hometown" scene is marvelous and makes one feel comfortable and relaxed. Nora Roberts is truly a great author.
Rating: Summary: Nora Roberts vs. Harlequin Romance? Review: Well, almost. Nora's novels are not too sappy, although this one touched the edge.Seth Quinn is coming home,home at last to where the Chesapeake waters of Maryland have always entranced him. The first ten years of Seth Quinn's life were unequivocably awful. Until one day, his knight in shining armor appears, and he is whisked away to the Quinn Boatyard, where he has two older brothers and a sister. He learns of course, that Ray Quinn, his "knight in shining armor" had to use the lure of money to get him, but Ray is portrayed as a saint, and means no harm. He wants to save Seth from a drinking relic of a mother/prostitute before it is too late. Naturally suspicious, Seth Quinn remains so until he is given what he wants most - to never to be returned to his mother. Ray gladly promises. Ray dies soon after, but Seth's new family keeps him, and he grows into a promising young man, handsome and smart. From scrawny teen to husky man, he goes to Rome to be a famous painter. And his paintings are a hit, and they do sell, and Seth Quinn does become not quite as famous as he'd liked, but happy for the first time in his life. He is now a skilled and reknowned painter, but the need to escape the city of Rome is pressing. There are dark secrets there. The author makes a strong effort to emphasize how close the Quinn family is. There are Quinn family sayings and Quinn family rituals and all in the spirit of fun. By now, "Boats by Quinn" is a famous industry. Predictably, boy meets girl, meaning Seth does meet a woman who has just opened a flower shop in town. She finds him pushy but "when a Quinn wants something, he gets it". Yet an ominous and sinister path follows Seth, a real life haunting of sorts, one he cannot seem to lose. Will his new lady find out? And if she does, will she still want him? Will anyone want him? Maybe it is "a Quinn thing". Only the reader will know for sure.
Rating: Summary: I LOVED IT!!! Review: This tape was absolutely wonderful!!! A great ending to the Chesapeake Bay trilogy. I did not want the tapes to end, and I had the unabridged version. The characters and the reader are excellent! Well worth the buy. My finale words, I LOVED IT!! Well. . .mabe not my finale words. . .I loved the entire trilogy!!!
Rating: Summary: Quinn men and thier women can't be beat! Review: Of all Nora Robert's books, the ones about the Quinn brothers are my favorite. This last installment was wonderful. I shead tears throught out the last hundred pages!
Rating: Summary: Good Story Review: In her novel "Chesapeake Blue" Nora Roberts paints word pictures of the Best of being family. As usual Roberts weaves a plot that grabs your attention while it satisfies the reader's romantic and adventurous spirit. If you haven't read her previous works, this tale will have you searching out more novels by this talented author. Beverly J Scott author of RIGHTEOUS REVENGE
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: This is the fourth book in the Bay series and I loved it....It was my favorite series by Roberts and I was happy to see that she decided to write about Seth. I do agree a little with someone who had written a review that they just couldn't picture Seth being older. I did have somewhat of a hard time with the fact that Seth was all grown up but then again it was great to know about his life and to see what he had done with it so far....It was also great to see how all the other Quinn brother and their wives ended up....It was an overall great book that I really enjoyed and would urge others to read the series first then Chesapeake Bay....I think you would really enjoy reading this one after you have the full background first!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: I loved this book. I would love to see it made into a tv movie. What a romantic that Seth is. Swept Dru right off her feet! I would suggest this one for sure...! Enjoy
Rating: Summary: SHOULD HAVE STAYED A TRILOGY Review: I think this is the only lukewarm review I have ever given Ms. Roberts/Robb. I generally love all her books. However, in this case the Quinn brothers trilogy should have stayed a trilogy. We already knew they lived happily ever after. This book was a stretch to continue the story. I had a hard time picturing Seth as an adult. Also, to think that he would have kept paying his mother blackmail money over the years was ludicrous. Don't get me wrong--I read the book and still loved the Quinn family, but I could have lived without it.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful way to "end" the trilogy Review: I admit, I buy almost every book nora roberts writes and love them. I got this one for christmas and read it twice before new years. I liked how seth became an artist and such a sucessful one.I also liked how she brought back seth's mom who still manages to haunt seth even though he's an adult. When I found out this was a "continuation of the quinn trillogy", I got out the first three books and reaquainted myself with the quins all over again. Then read seth's story. I enjoyed all four books tremendously.
Rating: Summary: Captivating Review: I loved this book, it was a perfect ending to the previous three novels. This book had unexpected turns and twists all the way to the end. It was easy for me to get completely involved in the story, and I was sad when I finally finished the book. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Definitely worth buying.
