Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ!!! Review: This was a great ending to the Quinn trilogy. Phillip seems like the perfect guy~hunky, romantic, charming, smart.... :-) Nora Roberts' fans will not be disappointed. I loved it!
Rating:  Summary: Hurray to Phillip and Sybill Review: I was listening to Phillip's story in my car and I found myself sitting in the parking lot unable to turn off the cassette player. This is a great book and it follows smoothly Cameron's and Ethan's stories. I can relate to Sybill's confusion and fear when she meets up with the Quinns, they are a loud bunch, but, oh, boy, I'd love to be related to them.
Rating:  Summary: This was a great end to a super three book series Review: The last of the older brothers to see his dead father and have him guide him to his life, as he had given him the chance to have one. My only regret is that there is not again more information on Seth as he gets older. can we look for this?
Rating:  Summary: Outstanding - one that cannot be put down - a must read! Review: I have just discovered Nora Roberts this summer and cannot get enough of her books. Inner Harbor was the last one that I read (in the last two days)and I found it to be every bit as good as all of her books. Nora has a way with words that keep you wanting to turn the page for more! A quote from Inner Harbor that can be found on page 129 concerns Phillip Quinns feelings toward Sybill, but expresses my feelings concerning this lady's expert way with words; "He literally couldn't get Sybill out of his mind....(a) continual tug on his thoughts and concentration. It wasn't as if she (the book) was interfering with...routine. He (I) could work, eat, brainstorm, do...presentations...She (the book) was simply there...A tickle at the back of (the) mind through the day, that inched forward to the front when...energies weren't otherwise occupied." Phillips thoughts express mine to a perfection. As with all of her books, no matter what function is being performed, the plot, characters and places are there just waiting to come to the front and occupy the mind completely. Inner Harbor opens up a world of love, compassion, and loyality. It also acquaints the reader with the Bay area, the workings of family services and the court system. As in all of Ms Robert's books, this one is not just about man meets woman and they must have each other, its about family/friends and the deep love and loyality that is demonstrated and reveals that even those who apprear the most confident and stable, usually have their own private shadows and boogie men to contend with. Nora Robert is an author, extrodinaire! She can, and probably will, preempt those who are at the current top rung with her marvelous talent.
Rating:  Summary: Perfect Ending for a Perfect Trilogy! Review: This was my favorite book of the trilogy. It was so incredibly romantic and sweet. I couldn't put it down; I've read it countless times! A must read! I loved it!!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: An awesome reading experience! Review: Nora's conclusion to the Quinn brothers' tale was incredible! I think she picked the perfect brother to conclude their story! The stubborn spirited Philip was a great ending. It was also wonderful because he finally realized that all of his dreams were fulfilled. The strong bodied, strong spirited Quinns made a wonderful reading experience. I couldn't put them down!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent end to an excellent series. Review: Nora Roberts doesn't disappoint with the third and final book of the Quinn Brother's Trilogy. This one focus on Phillip and Sybill's relationship. Sybill has some secrets of her own, and this causes trouble between the Quinns and her. Ms. Roberts also fills the reader in on who Seth really is and why Ray joined him to the family. Excellent series, and I hope that Ms. Roberts will tell us the story of Ray and Stella as well as what happened to Seth in the future.
Rating:  Summary: Nora's best full-length trilogy Review: The Maryland Eastern Shore trilogy is definitely the best of Nora's full-length novel trilogies. The men are so real and so appealing. The strength of this series is the relationship between the brothers. I've only read one other series focused on brothers -- Jude Deveraux's Velvet Saga -- and this one by Nora tops it by a mile (if one may be permitted to compare a historical series and a contemporary).INNER HARBOR is the best of the trilogy. I loved the relationship between Phillip and Sybill because it showed the power of forgiveness (for Sybill's secretiveness and ulterior motives). The only thing that disappointed me is that Phillip's and Seth's relationship was not as fully explored as Nora did with Cameron and Seth in SEA SWEPT and Ethan and Seth in RISING TIDES. All in all, however, this trilogy and especially INNER HARBOR was magnificent.
Rating:  Summary: Good, but not the awesome ending I was expecting Review: I must say I was somewhat disappointed with this story. Yes, all the questions are answered but it just all seemed too hurried for my liking. Why do we hear about Grace's pregnancy through Anna looking out of a window? Don't you think the readers deserved to have heard first hand the dialogue between Grace and Ethan at such an important moment? It's good to see how much Seth has developed and his character is the only one that does develop throughout this triology, apart from Ethan's. We found Cameron swearing and cussing and we left him that way in the end. We found Anna being a pushy, know-it-all and she gets worse. Grace, who seemed like a strong woman in Rising Tides, barely had anything to say in Inner Harbour. And I was looking forward to some deep moving stuff about Philip but it just never materialised in this hurried love story, wanna-be family drama. I figured I would be in tears when the Quinn story ended but on a whole I was quite content to put the book down because it really didn't move me. And the ghost story, thrown in for good measure failed to impress, come on. We weren't born yesterday! Don't get me wrong. It's a good read, especially if like me you spent the last year with the Quinns. But it was missing something... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know, it just wasn't there.
Rating:  Summary: Nora at her best! Review: I want these men!!! Nora Roberts has a talent for developing characters with depth and passion. The personalities that evolve are as real as the struggles they face, and handle. Wow!! Couldn't put it down until the end.
