Summary: What an Incredible Book!
Review: I got hooked on the first two books in the Chesapeake Bay Series (Sea Swept and Rising Tides), and reading this one reminded me why. Nora is an incredible author. I start reading her books and I can't put them down. I can't wait to get to the next page, and the next page, and the page after that. The Chesapeake Bay Series is so good, I feel like I've spent the past few years with the characters! The only bad part about her Chesapeake Bay Series books is that you're sad when you get to the last page because you have to wait for her to write the next one. :)

Summary: Wonderfully Written Trilogy
Review: I just finished with Inner Harbor and must say the book was as wonderful as the previous two installments. I loved each book equally and couldn't get enough of the Quinn's. I can't wait to read Chesapeake Blue (Seth Quinn's Story).This trilogy shows how three desperate boys develop into scarred but wonderfully caring and sensitive men who make a promise to their dying father to care for a new desperate and scarred boy who may just be their father's illegitimate son. I can't say that I liked one book better than another. Each installment was an important part of the whole story and each was interesting and captivating. I like all the brothers equally. Phillip's story was so wonderful. He has a wonderful sense of humor. Although he is different from his other two brothers and doesn't have a rugged exterior, his strenth and toughness comes through just the same. In the first two books Phillip Quinn was more of a secondary character and you didn't learn much about him or his past. Inner Harbor tells his story of the abuse and neglect suffered at the hands of his mother and how the Quinn's find him near death and bring him in and teach him about love and respect. He was never able to find love until he meets Sybill Griffin. He is drawn to her immediately. Even after he discovers her deception he can't stay away from her and he feels her pain and suffering. Sybill is also dealing with her own issues of neglect and lack of love and support from her own family and a sister that is desperate and mean. The relationship between Sybill and Phillip will have you pulling for them all the way to the end. You pull for the whole Quinn family as they continue to try and keep Seth safe. The relationships that develop in Sea Swept, Rising Tides and Inner Harbor are compelling and moving. I would highly recommend all of these books.

Summary: a good conclusion!
Review: Although I enjoyed this book and the conclusion to the story...I still thought that Rising Tides was better....Phillip was just not a character I could get into but I really like Sybil...and all the other characters were back....Don't get me wrong....I loved all the books....and you must read this....I really loved the ending!!

Summary: Trouble empathizing with lead characters....
Review: This is the story of Phillip Quinn, the third Quinn brother and his romance with psychologist and sociologist Sybil. I really loved the Quinn Series, but I had trouble with this last book. Mostly, because there was a certain lack of... Dynamic between the two main leads. Phil former gang member, (hard to believe) and advertising agent...is almost... Feminine. He is obsessed with clothes, gucci, armani,mineral water and fine dining almost more than he is with Sybil, his girlfriend. He throws temper tantrums, and refuses to admit his love for Sybil, and picks pointless arguments with his brothers... Errr...Not my idea of hero material... Sybil, emotionally scarred, because here parents 'did not love her' is more sympathetic, but amazingly naive, for someone trained to be a psychologist and sociologist. She makes a few 'stupid mistakes' which she spends the book agonizing and apologizing, and repenting for. Overall, not the best in the Quinn series, but contains a couple really good scenes which makes it an enjoyable read, but not a keeper, at least for this reader.

Summary: Last in the Quinn Trilogy! 4 1/2 stars!
Review: A nice end to the trilogy. It began in 'Sea Swept', 'Rising Tides' and now finally 'Inner Harbor'. The last brother Phillip finds his true love and alot of other things along the way in this installment. All the loose ends are finally tied up and the story of Ray Quinn's son Seth is finally revealed. I enjoyed this one the most of the three. Both Phillip and Sybill were strong characters and I like what Ms. Roberts did with Sybill's character and who she was. It was a nice twist. ~The third and last novel in the Quinn trilogy tells the story of Phillip Quinn, a high powered ad exec living in Baltimore and the last of the Quinn brothers still single. The Quinn family saved him from a life a crime of theft and street running when he was a boy. One fateful night he nearly died and Ray and Stella Quinn saved his life. He never forgot them or their selfless generosity. The only way he sees fit to somewhat pay Ray back is to help stop the blackmailing his now dead 'father' experienced by a woman who literally sold her only son Seth to him. The trick was, was to find the elusive woman who was wrecking havok on their lives. Sybill needs to find the little boy she remembers from 6 long years ago before things completely fall apart. Did the Quinn's really steal Seth from his mother? Who were these people? Sybill is about to find out. She is on a personal mission and when she sees him, things aren't what they seem. The Quinn brothers are gentle with him and seem to love him...as she is seeming to fall for the Quinn brother named Phillip. When her identity is revealed, the tenuous grip she has on him falls apart as she now must defend herself against the protective family and find the truth. Can Phillip trust her knowing who she is? Can he look past it to find love? Can they together save Seth from an uncaring mother who wants him for money? Will Fate solve their dilemma? Sybill finds out that blood can indeed be thicker than water and Phillip finds that he can learn to trust again and life will be good again, just as Ray and Stella planned it. Good trilogy, worth the read!!!

Summary: Wonderful and satisfying conclusion
Review: "Inner Harbour" is the final installment in the Quinn brothers trilogy, and like the first two books, you don't want to miss it.
This is the story of Phillip Quinn, who has triumphed over his tragic past and succeeded in making a good life for himself. By this third book, Seth, the young boy the Quinn brothers are raising together, has bonded with all of them and has finally accepted that he is a part of the family.
Now, enter Dr. Sybill Griffin, who claims to be researching their small town on Chesapeake Bay. Phillip and Sybill are extremely attracted to each other right from the start and begin to develop a relationship. When these two are together the sparks fly! Sybill also makes a point of getting to know Seth, because unbeknownst to the Quinns, Sybill is hiding a dangerous secret that could put Seth in serious jeopardy!
This is a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Phillip is a lovable, flawed and dashingly handsome hero and NR does a great job of making him seem real. The reader finally gets the mystery of Seth's identity solved and is left sated and happy.
So pick this trilogy up today, you will NOT regret it!

Summary: Roberts Rules!
Review: Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors, and Inner Harbor is one of the reasons why. The third of the Quinn Brothers series- Sea Swept, and Rising Tides- Inner Harbor tells the story of Phillip. Phillip is not a idealized heroic figure- he is a man with a horrid background that he has managed to overcome with the help of his adoptive family. It is this simple fact that makes me like the books so much- they're real and they're all the more breathtaking for their realism and sensitivity. Nora Roberts spends a great deal of time fleshing out her characters, and by the end of the story you not only feel great for having vicariously witnessed a wonderful love story- you feel empowered that you too can overcome any and all problems. Now that's what I call a great story!

Summary: Best of the Quinn Brothers
Review: I truly enjoyed this book. I always expect to enjoy a Nora Roberts books, particularly when it is tied to a trilogy or series such as this one. I eagerly awaited the publication of this book and was not dissapointed. This book is my favorite of the Quinn brother series.
I laughed at Phillip's reaction to conversing with his dead father. I enjoyed watching the romance blossom between Phillip and Sybill. I think Nora handled what could be a silly situation with tact and class as usual. Although this book can stand alone, it is much stronger if you have read the other Quinn brother books in order. Enjoy- These are some of the best Nora Roberts books yet and this is the best of the best.
