Summary: Great Book... But....
Review: I love Nora Roberts, I always pick up her new books as soon as they are out, and I never throw them out! Sacrilege! I do love how this last book let's us see the other family members are and how they have feared. It's great to see Stella involved too! Unfortunately I do have to agree with a previous reviewer, the story was a little canned. I have found that most of the "last" books in Ms. Robert's series are predictable and not as lively and engrossing as the first few. She always starts the series off with a bang! Then you wait endless months until the next book is released, and it's never quiet as good as the first. The thirds is the same, not as good as the second. That will not, however stop me from reading her books!

Summary: Wonderful Return to the Chesapeake Bay
Review: Long-time fans of Ms. Roberts will recognize her latest as the fourth installment in the Quinn family series set amidst the beauty of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. Seth is the youngest of the adopted Quinn brothers and the grandson of Ray, the man who adopted him. But when Ray was killed in a car accident mere months after he Seth's mother Gloria sold Seth to him, the brothers Quinn stepped in to raise the emotionally damaged ten-year-old. Growing up amidst the lively Quinn clan, Seth is able to foster his love of art even as he aids his new family in the boat building enterprise. Adulthood brings with it the promises of fame and fortune as Seth, the artist, takes a tour of Europe. To avoid demons of his past and revel in the security of family, he decides to return home to Maryland with the intention of making that his permanent home. And while his charming good looks have heralded a beacon to many a young woman, he has never met anyone like Dru Whitcomb, a D.C. transplant who owns a local florist shop. Dru's past relationships have taught her to be wary of men, but Seth seems to have a way of breaking down her barriers to begin to establish a relationship between them, only to find those demons knocking on his door again. Ms. Roberts has written a novel that immediately immerses the reader into its every page with a sense of realism that gives one the feeling of being a bystander in this small Maryland community. The power of love is an often-used theme of this author, whether it be romantic love or strong bond of family and friends. And a critical point employed in this novel, which puts Ms. Roberts in a league of her own, is the fact that while romance is a crucial part of the plot line, the sub-plots are not just an added attraction, but a major force in building the romance. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition

Summary: Thank you!
Review: I always read the new Nora Roberts books. There hasn't been a romantic book by Roberts that I haven't read at least twice. I feel like I know the Quinn family as well as I know the MacGregors. This book was highly anticipated and worth the time! I never cry about books, but this story sparked tears six, yes six (I know I am a sap)times. I loved it and I can't wait until readers bother Nora enough for Aubrey's story. I am certainly not satisfied with the little bits about her and Will McLean!

Summary: Seth at Last!
Review: I must confess that I just knew that Seth and Aubrey's affection for one another in the original trilogy would roll into something more in their adult years. Perhaps if the age gap had been shorter. However, I really really liked how Seth turned out so strong and confident in his talents and as a man. But I guess with brothers like Cam, Ethan,and Philip, it couldn't be any other way. And I must say that I was pleased to see so much of the characteristics of Phillip in Seth (fine taste and an appreciation for delicate lingerie) since he is and was my favorite Quinn. Well, since Aub's out, I'm glad Seth ended up with Dru, for whom I developed a little admiration. She did make a nice break from the fold to make her own mark. If I can't fault her for that, I certainly can't fault her falling for Seth.

Summary: Wow, Awesome conclusion!
Review: I am a true fan of Nora Roberts and I have always enjoyed all of her books, but this one is one that I have fallen for. I enjoyed the original trilogy, Sea Swept with Cam and Anna their passion and incredible strength. In Rising Tides, with Ethan and Grace and their unconditional love and pride, and Inner Harbor with the classy unselfish love that Phillip and Sybil share. Chesapeake Blue finds Seth all grown up and has taken all the good qualities of each of the brothers and has become a wonderful and very sexy young man. I found myself feeling like I was a part of this little town and was so sad when it ended. I would love to step back into St Cris and see Aubry find that Quinn love with Will. You will not be dissapointed with this one.

Summary: Pure Nora!
Review: This is why Nora Roberts shines above the rest. Everything you ever wanted in a novel and more - great characters, quick-moving story, intrigue, romance, humor. Thoroughly enjoyable read as always. Also highly recommend Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin.

Summary: Great Addition to A Favorite Series
Review: Normally when you read an unexpected add on book to a trilogy it disapoints. This one does not. The characters were just as rich and well defined as always. Seth comes back home all grown up, and while the story definately focuses on him and his dealings with the very icky Gloria and the way she has used his feelings for the rest of the Quinn's against him, it also gives a good romance, and my favorite part, we get very updated with the rest of the Quinns. Mostly Cam and Anna, (which was my favorte couple). As you get to know their children, I can see more stories in the future with a new generation of Quinns. Nora did a great job of filling in what has happened since we left off with them when Seth was 13 or so. We touch base with everyone, and see what a great guy he has turned into. Also, while the ghost of Ray used to visit the boys as they fell in love, this time we get to meet their mom "Stella". She is wonderful. Can't say enough good things. If you liked the Sea Swept series, buy this right away. If you love the continuing series you should check out J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts futuristic series "In Death", or any of her MacGregor, Calhoun, or Stanislaski silouhette books. O.k., lets face it, you just can't go wrong w/a Nora book. Enjoy!!

Summary: Coming Home
Review: For the reader and for Seth, Chesapeake Blue, is a return home. Readers experience the emotion and wonder that Seth experiences as he is reminded of the sense of family that being a Quinn evokes. We see each of the characters of the previous books and we catch up, along with Seth, on the progress of their families and lives. Seth's success as an artist will make all readers of the trilogy proud. His romance with Dru is just as powerful as the romances in the earlier trilogies. For the reader who remembers the toddler, Aubrey, she also appears in the pages of Blue as do all of the Quinn progeny. I wasn't disappointed and I was left wondering if Nora will be inclined to follow this with any of the other Quinn's who make an appearance in this book.

Summary: The Quinn story we've been waiting for!!!
Review: This is the book we've all been waiting for and it is GREAT! Seth's story was the best! I couldn't put the book down! Nora knows how to make you feel like you are one of the characters in her novels. I liked the part where Seth was listening to one of Darcy Gallagher's songs. I love her books!
