Summary: You thought it was over with the trilogy..then it got better
Review: It is perfect. I read the first three books and whenever I get finished with one of Nora's books I hate that that's it, that there is no more. But then I was in the mall and passed be a book store and guess what I saw on display. The fourth in the Chesapeake Bay series.
It was everything I had expected and so much more. That was the closure that I needed to these books.
Don't get me wrong though! I would not object to another book in the series. Wink wink nudge nudge

Summary: The Perfect Ending!
Review: I absolutely loved the brothers trilogy, it was truly my favorite of all Nora Roberts trilogys. Of course I do love them all! This book was telling the story of Seth as he now is grown up. I felt like I knew the entire family and cared about each and every one of them. Seth is home with his family, the business, and the mother who has followed him over the years since he was a young boy. Blackmailing him, doing her best to ruin everything for him and for the family that gave him everything and made him who he is. Although he's all grown up now, he'll still pay her off, do just about anything to protect the family he loves. Dru enters the picture, who has fled a cheating fiance and the life of the wealthy in Washington D.C. to strike out on her own in St. Chris. She owns a flower shop and does her best to fit into the community. Given her experience with men, she doesn't want to fall in love, doesn't even want to date. But Seth can be as convincing as any of the Quinn men and Dru finds herself in love with Seth. I think Nora Roberts did an excellent job with this ending story. Her plot was great, the ending was a surprise and all the characters we loved in this trilogy have returned. If you start with this book you may want to read the first three to start.

Summary: Superb
Review: I had not read the other three books in the series before this one, but I understood things fine. Not in any other book did the characters make me feel so much. I would find myself laughing out loud at the Quinn Brothers' antics, scowling when Seth and Dru were at odds with each other, etc. The "hometown" scene is marvelous and makes one feel comfortable and relaxed. Nora Roberts is truly a great author.

Summary: Nora Roberts vs. Harlequin Romance?
Review: Well, almost. Nora's novels are not too sappy, although this one touched the edge.Seth Quinn is coming home,home at last to where the Chesapeake waters of Maryland have always entranced him. The first ten years of Seth Quinn's life were unequivocably awful. Until one day, his knight in shining armor appears, and he is whisked away to the Quinn Boatyard, where he has two older brothers and a sister. He learns of course, that Ray Quinn, his "knight in shining armor" had to use the lure of money to get him, but Ray is portrayed as a saint, and means no harm. He wants to save Seth from a drinking relic of a mother/prostitute before it is too late. Naturally suspicious, Seth Quinn remains so until he is given what he wants most - to never to be returned to his mother. Ray gladly promises. Ray dies soon after, but Seth's new family keeps him, and he grows into a promising young man, handsome and smart. From scrawny teen to husky man, he goes to Rome to be a famous painter. And his paintings are a hit, and they do sell, and Seth Quinn does become not quite as famous as he'd liked, but happy for the first time in his life. He is now a skilled and reknowned painter, but the need to escape the city of Rome is pressing. There are dark secrets there. The author makes a strong effort to emphasize how close the Quinn family is. There are Quinn family sayings and Quinn family rituals and all in the spirit of fun. By now, "Boats by Quinn" is a famous industry. Predictably, boy meets girl, meaning Seth does meet a woman who has just opened a flower shop in town. She finds him pushy but "when a Quinn wants something, he gets it". Yet an ominous and sinister path follows Seth, a real life haunting of sorts, one he cannot seem to lose. Will his new lady find out? And if she does, will she still want him? Will anyone want him? Maybe it is "a Quinn thing". Only the reader will know for sure.

Summary: Good Story
Review: In her novel "Chesapeake Blue" Nora Roberts paints word pictures of the Best of being family. As usual Roberts weaves a plot that grabs your attention while it satisfies the reader's romantic and adventurous spirit. If you haven't read her previous works, this tale will have you searching out more novels by this talented author.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This is the fourth book in the Bay series and I loved it....It was my favorite series by Roberts and I was happy to see that she decided to write about Seth. I do agree a little with someone who had written a review that they just couldn't picture Seth being older. I did have somewhat of a hard time with the fact that Seth was all grown up but then again it was great to know about his life and to see what he had done with it so far....It was also great to see how all the other Quinn brother and their wives ended up....It was an overall great book that I really enjoyed and would urge others to read the series first then Chesapeake Bay....I think you would really enjoy reading this one after you have the full background first!

Summary: SHOULD HAVE STAYED A TRILOGY
Review: I think this is the only lukewarm review I have ever given Ms. Roberts/Robb. I generally love all her books. However, in this case the Quinn brothers trilogy should have stayed a trilogy. We already knew they lived happily ever after. This book was a stretch to continue the story. I had a hard time picturing Seth as an adult. Also, to think that he would have kept paying his mother blackmail money over the years was ludicrous. Don't get me wrong--I read the book and still loved the Quinn family, but I could have lived without it.
