Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!!!
Review: This book is amazing. I have read the whole Quinn series and was surprised when I found out that there would be one about Seth Quinn. Nora Roberts didn't let me down. It is a wonderful story of love, family and greed. I only hope that she continues down the line of Quinns.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Are Nora Roberts' men REAL??
Review: Nora Roberts has 4 brothers and several sons. She loves men, she says, and no reader could say that her men are anything short of amazing. But are they real? Or are they Nora's fantasy of what men should be like? Who cares - I love all of her male heroes but especially these Quinn men. In Nora's latest book Chesapeake Blue, all the Quinn brothers appear: trigger-tempered, protective Cam (my favourite), soft-spoken Ethan and eternally well-dressed, financial wizard Philip. And guess which mouthy, bad-a$$ attitude kid is all grown up here and the centre of this story? You guessed it - our ever-beloved Seth. I truly enjoy having characters I've loved from previous books re-appear in sequels and here Nora does not disappoint. Cam, Anna, Ethan, Grace, Philip and Sybill are all still living in St Christopher with children of their own. Their wonderful personalities are still intact ( thank goodness!) even after 18 years. There was so much family reunion going on in the first section of the book, however, that I wondered if Seth's story was ever going to get off the ground! But I should never doubt this author. Seth and Drusilla's story is as special as the other 3 brothers, even drawing a few tears from me near the end. The fabulous brotherly banter, especially between Seth and Cam, is enjoyable and often hilarious if not 100% believable. (Have you EVER heard REAL men talk like this??) But nothing beat the "kissing" scene - one of the funniest I've ever read. (It would translate really well on the movie screen.) Anyway, go back and re-read the trilogy so all the wonderful characters are fresh in your mind and then sit back and enjoy Seth's story. Thank you, Nora.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not one of her best
Review: First let me say that Nora Roberts is an incredibly gifted writer and that for anyone else this would be a really good book, but she can do better. I read the other three books in this series a while ago and they were great. This one is a bit contrived. The story and the romance are much weaker than the previous Quinn sagas. If you read the other three books you will want to find out what happens to Seth and all the other Quinns but I suggest you go to the library or wait for the paperback.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CHARMING STORY
Review: It was very satisfying to enter the harmonious and loving world of the "Quinn's" once again. No one writes a family series in romance better than Nora Roberts. My only complaint is that the publisher, looking much too closely at the $$ bottom line, made this a hardback book instead of paperback like the others in this series. My advice to anyone thinking about purchasing this book--DON'T. Borrow it or go to your public library. If you still want to own it, wait until the paperback is released. While this is a wonderful romance novel, it's not hardback worthy unless money is not your main concern. Otherwise, it's a great story and a fun read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: You can't fault this book. I found it sweet and touching. Nora Roberts did a great job. I usually go more in for J. Wilde, Lindsey and my newest favorite "Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons. A sizzling page turner. But this book was very well done. I cared about the characters and loved the book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nora Roberts No. 1 Fan - but this book did not measure up
Review: Can I say just how much I love Nora Roberts? I think she was a legal secretary b4 she started writing romance novels in the snow in North Dakota or something when she was in her early 30s...

I loved the series that preceded this book.. But I did NOT like this book - maybe bcuz I was partial to the 3 before it, or bcuz I expected more out of a book that was in hardcover?

I didn't like Seth's ponytail and that he turned out an artist - I was hoping he turned out on architect, lol...

I DID like his love interest, tho.. But this book didn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling - Oh! I wish I knew these characters and they were my friends/family feeling that I so often get from N. Roberts books...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: This romance is wonderful. Funny, sexy and exciting. That's what I look for as in my newest Favorite "Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons. A sizzling page turner with a hero to die for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Catch-up with old friends
Review: What is better on a cold winter's night than to curl up with a good book or old friends? Well in Nora Robert's latest, Chesapeake Blue, you can do both.

We get to catch up with the Quinn family of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the very special young man who brought them all together, Seth. Nora Roberts gifts us with this great book and dedicates it to her readers who asked her for Seth's story. As I finished the last page my first thought was when she would write Aubry's story?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love This Book!
Review: I love this book! Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down again! It's the 4th in a series about 4 adopted brothers. Though it has been a while since I'd read the others, I was transported right back into their world by the first page. I was so absorbed in the story, I finished the book in 3 days!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Amazing Story
Review: After I heard that there will be a story about Seth Quinn, I can't wait to get my hands on it. I always love the Quinns, they are surely my favorite family of all the families Nora Roberts has ever created. And Nora has sure delivered one of her best with this one. Everything I dreamed of, everything I wanted to happen ... was here.

Seth turned out just the way I pictured him would be. Dru was one perfect match for him. And the whole reunion with Cam, Anna, Ethan, Grace, Phillip, Sybill, and Aubrey ... surely brought brought a trip down memory lane. I laughed, I had tears in my eyes ... it was a perfect book, with a very great ending. It's surely one of Nora's best, one of my favorite. I can already picture this one as a Hallmark movie.
