Review: Nora Roberts consistently whips up the best combinations of life and love and Seaswept is no exception. If you haven't read a book by Nora, I suggest this be one of you start with. I guarantee it will be the best decision you've ever made.

Summary: Great part to the Trilogy
Review: The three books in this series were all wonderful. The characters seemed so real that I felt that I knew them personally. The mystery carried over through all 3 books and I really liked the suspense. I couldn't wait for the next book to come out till the mystery was solved. Great books. Highly recommended by me as all of her books are.

Summary: I couldn't put it down.
Review: Sea Swept by Nora Roberts is the first book in the Quinn Brother's Trilogy. The book is about three boys, who at a young age, were on the run from their miserable lives. Ray Quinn and his wife eventually adopted all three. They are all reunited when Ray is involved in a car accident. He makes them to promise to take care of Seth, the lastest child to be part of the Quinn family. The first book centers around Cameron, the oldest of the brothers, who becomes involved with the social worker handling Seth's case. While the brothers are trying to adjust to living with each other again and start a business, they are also determined to solve the mystery surrounding their fathers death and the true story of Seth. I can't wait to read the next book. I figure it can only get better.

Summary: Great
Review: The only other Nora Roberts books that I read were the "Born In" books. I thought they were good, especially the first but this trilogy seems better. I really enjoyed it _Sea Swept_. Cameron seems like the most interesting of the brothers. I hope the other books are as good.

Summary: Pure formula but loads of fun
Review: You get brand-name assurance with a paperback by Nora Roberts, and either you like it or you don't. Attractive characters, dramatic situations, emotional storms, tastefully graphic physical descriptions, and predictable plot. This said, the devoted reader hastens to get the next issue of a promised trilogy. Perfect reading for plane trip or beach.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This book is a little bit different than most of Nora Robert's books since her characters haven't had your typical happy family life. I think it only serves to make the characters more realistic. It certianly makes a great story. I can't wait for the final book in the trilogy (Inner Harbor) to come out next month!

Summary: A great book, but...
Review: ...one small problem. I had a hard time suspending my disbelief that a social worker would get herself intimately involved with the potential guardian of a child assigned to her. Seems like a serious violation of professional ethics to me... especially when, in the next installment, Rising Tides, we find out that Anna remains Seth's caseworker even after marrying one of his guardians, Cameron Quinn.The story was fabulous and very entertaining but this detail kept me from as thoroughly enjoying the book as I normally would have.

Summary: A good beginning for a new trilogy.
Review: Ray and Stella Quinn did not take in the usual strays. The ones they took in were abused boys who took to the streets rather than return home. The three strays were all grown up now. Stella died long ago. This book starts out with Ray in the hospital after playing "tag" with a telephone pole. The pole won. Could not have happened at a worse time. A new stray, Seth, had been in the process of being adopted. Before Ray died, he made his three older sons promise to take care of Seth and not let him be taken away or returned to his abusive mother. This book is the first of a trilogy. This one has the main focus on Cameron, the race car driver, and Anna, the social worker assigned to Seth. Anna watches, and often helps out, as the three older brothers drastically change their own lives to help Seth come out of his shell and learn to love and trust. Seth, being raised by three older brothers, was not given any slack. These brothers had been where he is now, and treated Seth as if he had been a part of the family all along. ***A wonderful beginning to a new trilogy. Has lots of potential. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the guys try to master house work, middle school, raising a brother, and start a new business of building boats. I thought it was slow to begin, but it picked up quickly and kept rolling.***

Summary: Fabulous Story! Great on Character, Shaky on Romance
Review: First, let me make it clear that I LOVED this book. I also loved the sequal "Rising Tide." I can't wait 'til January to get the last one. The relationships developed between the Quinn brothers and the struggles they have accepting their father's death under questionable cirrcumstances were very compelling. However, I was unconvinced by the love story. I felt as if the romantic elemant had been thrown in for reader appeal, when the book was really about Cameron and his brothers, not about Cameron and Anna. I guess the trouble is that Anna didn't really fit into the back drop of the male world the Quinn brothers inhabit. But what brothers! Read this one for the love between a strong family. From that angle, the book was superb. The love between the leading couple is just sort of along for the ride.

Summary: A truly well written story of male bonding.
Review: Nora Roberts is my favorite author. I am very excited when a new book of hers is published. This story had me spell bound. How well she characterizes the men and their struggle with a small boy. The dialog between them is very typical. You feel that you are there with them in their daily lives. I would recommend this book to everybody, men, women and teenagers.
