Rating: Summary: Story is truly Nora (great) and the narration is wonderful Review: I absolutely loved the brothers trilogy. Through all three books, I felt like I knew the family and cared about each and every one of them. Chesapeake Blue does a wonderful job of telling the story of the young Seth, all grown up. If you are a Nora Roberts fan, you'll love this book...but I suggest reading the books about the brothers first...or much of this book won't make sense to you.
Rating: Summary: What an ending or is it for the Quinns? Review: Seth IS finally home..... I read that a one or two people thought the book focused too much on the Quinn family and not enough on Seth and Dru. I could not disagree more. As always, Nora tied up all the loose ends and gave the reader a chance to visualize what the Quinn family was like today. Then she spent most of the story doing what romance novels do and that is keeping the reader gripped wondering if the two main characters will work through the tragedy and live happily ever after. I also read that some thought her use of profanity was too much and not needed. Again, I disagree. The reader needs to put personal views aside and look at the characters. Nora lives in Maryland and by my guess has spent time in small rural watertowns eating crabs and listening to the locals. So, I would guess that she has a pretty good understanding of how to create "real life" characters. I hope the story continues....
Rating: Summary: Wonderful story for Seth Review: Nora has given Seth a great story and it was nice to see how he had grown up and what he had made of himself from his tough start in the first three books. It was wonderful to revisit Cam, Anna and his other brothers and their families, to see what they had done beyond their "stories" was great. I have two kids (6 & 1 1/2) and still managed to finish this in two days, it moves fast, keeps you interested and doesn't let you down.
Rating: Summary: It Was A Good Story Review: I have read several of Nora Roberts' books and enjoyed most of them. This one was good, I wanted to finish reading it so I could find out how it was going to end but, something was missing. I never was able to put my finger on what I wanted to read that I was not reading. I got real confused when Stella started showing up in places other than Seth's dreams. I thought I was reading the text incorrectly. Then, I was realized what the author had done with the character. It's a good book but I don't think I will be reading it again. I'm glad I checked it out of our local library and did not pay money for it.
Rating: Summary: A good continuation Review: I have learned from past experience that a hardback is usually not as good as a paperback (example, Sue Grafton's "Q is for Quary"), and I should wait to buy the paperback. But that is hard to do when the book is by one of my favorite authors, and continuing the saga of my favorite set of brothers. So I bought it.I have not finished the book yet, but I am enjoying the read. The story continues with Seth coming home to the Eastern Shore to the white house with blue shutters. I am enjoying revisiting the Quinn family, although it is a little difficult imagining them 18 years later. The stongest link continues, however, in this book. "You mess with one Quinn, you mess with them all." My favorite in the series is still "Sea Swept" with Cameron my favorite character in this and all of Roberts' trilogies.
Rating: Summary: a MUST read Review: This is a great book--and well worth the wait. In keeping with with others in the series this one was one of my favorites. If you haven't read the others in the series, you must read Sea Swept, Rising Tides and Inner Harbor--you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: A Wondeful Addition Review: This book is a wonderful addition to the trilogy. Nora Roberts really knows how to spin a wonderful tale of love and drama with out losing depth. This book is a great example of that. Her characters come alive on the page and her imagery is so vivid you can walk right in to her village themes without trying. If you love Nora Roberts (and I don't know anyone who does'nt) you wil love this book.
Rating: Summary: Great conclusion to an amazing trilogy! Review: I love Chesapeake Blue! It is like coming home, or meeting old and dear friends...It's a must read for everyone!!!
Rating: Summary: Nice finish to this series. Review: This was a wonderful series. You must read the others, Sea Swept is the first, you owe it to yourself. Cam was my favorite being the first and oldest, and it was a powerful story setting up the rest. His relationship with Seth was, in my opinion, the best. With Chesapeake Blue, Seth is all 'growed' and comes home for spiritual strength where he knows he will find it. What a lucky guy! Nice romance but the interaction with his family is still the best part. Stella comes back for Seth, which was a nice touch. I also had a hard time with the hardcover. All the others were, let's face it, romances, and paperback is their niche. Also more collectible. If you havent read Linda Howard's Mackenzie's Mountain series, do yourself a favor and look for them. Wonderful reading for some quiet time.
Rating: Summary: Back to true form!! Review: I am one of Robert's biggest fans and I was so excited about getting an opportunity to continue the Quinn trilogy. This trilogy is one of her best and Chesapake Blue makes it even better by continuing the story with Seth having grown into a man. Roberts does a fantastic job of tying the sotries and characters together and giving the reader exactly what they want sex, love, and can't put the book down even to go the bathroom drama. I highly recommend this book to any true Robert's fan!!!
