Where Two Seas Met

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Summary: i loved it
Review: I loved this book, like all other Cheney books it is refreshing and delightful.

i also loved the subtle humor found throughout the book, when you least expect it some funny line will come along and you aren't expecting it at all so you laugh out loud. out of the reviews i have read no one seems to like the pet names they give each other. coming from the eigth book in the Cheney Duval M.D. series, Shiloh calls Cheney "mon chou" it means my cabbage but in french it is also a way of saying sweetheart. Cheney and Shiloh go on their honeymoon only to have a plague, storms, and shiloh's cousin Bain Winslow to deal with.
but constantly you see how shiloh has changed since he accepted God into his heart, and Cheney and Shiloh's undying love for each other.
Although i wasn't expecting this book to be as good as the series before it exceeded my expectations, i would reccomend it because it is as good as any of the other ones.

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.

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: from the BestWeddingSites.com editor
Review: This is one book you won't want to put down. Where Two Seas Met is a beautifully written historical romance novel by a father/daughter writing team (Gilbert and Lynn Morris). The authors' descriptive and intriguing writing style will capture your heart and make you believe that no matter what obstacles you may come across, there is always a "happily ever after". While reading Where Two Seas Met, you will feel like you stepped back into history and are right there with the characters. And you will fall in love with the strong-willed Cheney and ever-supporting Shiloh.

Look for the "Continuing Saga of the Much-Loved Cheney and Shiloh Series" to be released in April 2004. This is one novel I am eagerly awaiting.
