Summary: Wasn't what I had hoped...
Review: After avidely reading the first 8 books of the Cheney series and discussing every plot detail with my best friend, I was sorely dissapointed in reading this novel. Gone was the wit and banter that made Shiloh and Cheney the characters I had grown to love... their dialog seemed contrived and their actions predictable. I was sure a major plot would be in this book, as book 8 of the series wrapped up the wedding so quickly. Unfortunatly, I agree with another review posted, that this story could have been summed up in one more chapter at the end of the previous book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great start for the new series.
Review: As an ardent fan of the Cheney Duvall series, I waited months for the Inheritence series to begin, eager to read more of Cheney's adventures and Shiloh's new-found faith. I was not dissapointed in the newest novel. Lynn and Gilbert Morris are and excelent duo, and this book is definately proof. There is only one thing I have noticed in the writing style that seems changed from the previous ones. I'm sure other fans have noticed also, that because the tension between Cheney and Shiloh has completely dissapeared, so too has the complexity of the plot and style. This element did not detract from the novel, or from my appreciation for the Morris' creativity and imagination. However, it was noticeable and I think worthy of mention. Overall, the novel is a great addition to the series and I am certain that new and old readers alike will absolutely love it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not really sure
Review: I didn't like this book. Being a devoted cheney duvall fan *coughwww.cheneyduvall.comcough* I really didn't know what to expect with the start of a new series. I'm really glad I came into it with 0 expectations, because that's the only way I wasn't disappointed. There was no plot in sight. The "mon chous" needed to be dropped. And Bain turned from a really good villain that I could feel sorry for to a sniviling on-the-edge-of-conversion side character. Personally, the future books would be CONSIDERABLY more promising if they added a twist like Shiloh and Bain truly being brothers. (Half brothers. I have the theory all worked out, if anyone's interested.) Or something equally unexpected and unpredictable. Something that sets the series apart once more from the common christian fiction genre. Where Two Seas Met was obviously a necessary step in starting the series, not being sure how to handle Cheney and Shiloh as married and without the usual tension in their relationship. But it also lacked the "BANG" that the old series started with. Try again Gilbert and Lynn...I have faith in you. If you did it before, you can do it again. --An unbelievably devoted fan, Leah

Summary: Mixed Feelings
Review: I have mixed feelings on this book. It's a really great book but yet there's kind've a different writing style from the last series that makes it different. But the authors are still able to capture the old Cheney fans attention.

Shiloh and Cheney are on their wonderful honeymoon in the south seas when they stop on a island and find a unusual disease. Cheney has to stop and take care of the people. On the island the couple comes incontact with a huge surprise.

Bain Winslow had to evaluate his life. He thinks the police are after him because of what he did to Cheney but in truth they aren't. Bain and Sweet escape New York and head to the south seas. In the south seas Bain gets spice plantation on a small island. He has a perfect little life for a while but then one day a lot of people get sick and he has to try to take care of them.

This book was really good and the authors do a really good job continuing the story. They are really good in their doctor and ship terms, they must of had to study to be able to write these books. They are wonderfully written. Can't wait until the next book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Encouragement by the best
Review: I have read all of the Cheney Duvall series up until now, following each one with late nights as I can't put the book down. As we start the new series with the Irons-Winslow family, I'm excited about the new marriage and the new family that has been begun. I have read other of Gilbert Morris' books, and have loved each one. For those not interested in history, this is a great way to learn while enjoying the lesson. As a doctor, I find the medicine of the time well researched and the struggles of a female physican that I identify with closely. I recommend this series to many people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great way to start a new series!!!!!
Review: I loved the Cheney Duvall series and had high expectations for The Inheritance, but after finally reading it, I was bitterly disapointed. The Inheritance is missing a lot of things that made the Cheney Duvall series so great. Foremost, it was missing adventure. All they do is float around in Shiloh's ship. I suppose this is allowable since it is their honeymoon, but still, the setting makes out for a terribly boring book. No new notable characters were introduced and none of the old, memorable ones ever showed up. In my opinion, the only interesting part of the book was Bain's story.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where Two Seas Met
Review: I obviously did not look at the description of this book as thoroughly as I should have. I felt the characters attitudes and speech were not of the time period of the book's setting. It seems to me to be badly written and unbelievable. Perhaps I should have read more reviews and realized this is truly a work of fiction with no basis of factual events, real or imagined. I feel I have wasted my time and money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Their Best
Review: I really loved this book. It was a great start to a new series, and hope there are more. I love how they always go so indepth with what they are talking about. There is so much detail. I love this series, and I hope to read some of the House Of Winslow.

Summary: Enchanting Novel!
Review: Once again this dynamic father and daughter duo have captured our hearts in this thrilling historical fiction novel. Cheney and Shiloh are again the main characters in this new series. Readers will be amazed at the wonders of the South Seas as described in this book. The characters express such a love of God and each other in their new marriage. Cheney and Shiloh are familiar to us from other books written by these two authors and it is recommended that you read the first series before embarking upon this one. There are references to other characters and situations that wouldn't be known about otherwise.

The story is captivating and hard to put down. I highly recommend it to everyone! I am awaiting the next novel in this enchanting series.

Summary: Cheney and Shiloh's New Life
Review: This book wasn't much different from the Dr. Cheney Duvall M.D. series, other than the fact that Cheney and Shiloh are married. Where Two Seas Met, gets a four for two different reasons; the first being that Shiloh is constantly calling Cheney "mon chou" which in french means "my cabbage". This happens at least once every chapter, and gets a little old after the first 5 times of reading it. Secondly, this book doesn't seem quite capable of filling a gap between the last book (Dr. Cheney Duvall M.D. #8) and where they are now in their lives, and where they were when we last left them. It seemed to me, that a big chunk of info was missing, even though I read it twice over Christmas.

Over all, this book was both enjoyable and rewarding. One thing ro remember, if you haven't read all of the Dr. Cheney series, then you should do that before jumping into this book.
