Summary: Her Best Trilogy Yet!
Review: The Quinn Brothers Trilogy are the favorite of this Nora Roberts fan. The characters in all three books are unique, woven through a plot that is refreshingly different. The Seth character is true to his age and gender (10 year old boy) and brings the other characters together is an interesting way. Of all the Nora Roberts books, these are her best. Enjoy

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An awesome start!!!
Review: This is the first book in the trilogy about the Quinn brothers. SeaSwept introduces you to the Quinn family and in particular, Cameron Quinn. The male characters are very strong, sensitive men with an incredible sense of family morals.

I thought this was a great story, the plot was detailed and very strong characters! The story revolves around Cameron Quinn and Anna Spinelli. Cameron comes home from Europe after hearing of his foster father's illness. His dad dies and the brothers are left to care for a 10-year old boy. Anna is the boy's social worker assigned to the case. Her and Cameron fall in love over the course of the novel.

This is story of strength and love and of the ties or fathers and sons and brothers. Each brother must come to face their past demons and make their way into the future and join together which will affect the future of their youngest brother, Seth.
It is an awesome read and the setting in an eastern seaboard town.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A excellent book!!
Review: This is my first Nora Roberts book that I have read. I am a guy and I heard great things about her writings. I also seen alot of women reading her books so I was curious to seen what all the fuss is about. I thought this was a great story with characters that really come to life.

The story revolves around Cameron Quinn and Anna Spinelli. Quinn comes home from Europe after hearing of his foster father's illness. His dad dies and Quinn is left to care for a 10-year old boy with his brothers. Anna is the social worker assigned to the case. Her and Cameron fall in love over the course of the novel.

The plot was detailed, the characters strong and (thank God!) it wasn't too mushy with the love scenes. Robert's writing style is one where she switches back and forth between the characters, looking at things from their perspective. I was pulling for the two main characters all through the book. This may have been my first romance novel that I have completed, but I do not think it will be my last. I have heard of some good things about some author named Deveraux....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Didn't find what everyone else apparently did...
Review: This book got a lot of great reviews, but I found it lacking. The romance between Cameron and Anna was too contrived and found myself liking the story, but not the romance, which is a moot point because the book is a romance. I thought the romance was kind of 'corny' and I couldn't warm up to the character of Cameron. He had no responsibilities and didn't seem to think anything of the fact that he didn't work and he was 35. Simply put, Anna could've done better.

~This is the first book in a trilogy including, 'Rising Tides' and 'Inner Harbor', Cameron's other brothers. A tale about three brothers, all as different as night and day and all adopted juveniels taken in by a deceased man and woman who showed them true love. The brothers are called on when the father is dying and he asks them to take care of yet another son, this one is just 9 and lots of trouble. What the brothers soon find out is that the boy is reputed to be his true son! Why had he abandoned his only true son when the man obviously loved kids? Did he hide a seedy secret and past?

Anna Spinelli is the case social worker asigned to work with the brothers and to take notes on the boy's (Seth) progress, what she doesn't expect is to fall madly in love with the boy's new brother Cameron. A wild and troubled man that had been wrung through the 'system' and refuses to see Seth go through the same fate. She is caught in the whirl of secrets and lies as she tries to help the brothers keep the troubled boy Seth and doesn't know if loving Cameron is helping the situation or hurting it.

Summary: Swept away by Sea Swept
Review: I LOVE Nora Roberts books. I am always thrilled to find a new one or revisit one I have already read. I am triply thrilled when I find a new trilogy. This set of books does not disspoint.

Again, all three of the books in this series can stand alone. However, I find that it is nice to read all three in order because the characters build on each other and develop throughout the series.

Sea Swept is about three men who had been taken in as young boys by a man who became a father to them. These three men are different but held together by love. When they are asked by their father to care for the new boy he had taken in, they do just that.

Seth is determined to live up to his father's expectation. He is a strong character with an iron will. He also is a very caring man who wants to do right by those around him. Anna is a social worker determined to do her job and ensure the young boy has a suitable home. What follows is a wonderful story about two people working together to provide a home for a young boy. It is wonderful when they realize that they are really walking down the same road and romance blossoms.

I enjoyed the humor that Nora Roberts displayed in this book. As this trilogy continues I found that the humor continued. I appreciated the true feeling of comaradarie among the men that Nora Roberts is able to write about.

I enjoyed this book immensily.

Summary: Complex tale of the healing power of love
Review: Sea Swept is the first of a triology of stories on the Quinn brothers. Cameron, the oldest brother, is an adventurer and risk taker, he races anything on land or the sea. His life style is anything that is fun and challenging. He faces his biggest challenge when he gets a call that his father has been in a terrible car accident. He races home to Cheseapeke Bay from Monte Carlo to find his father near death. Along with his two brothers, Ethan and Phillip, he promises his father they will take in Seth, the latest child Ray Quinn has brought home. Cameron, Ethan, and Phillip were all adopted by Ray and his wife when the boys were young, all damaged by a hard life. So the Quinn brothers promise to take care of Seth and grieve as Ray dies. Follow Cameron as he struggles to come to grips with the loss of his father while trying to reach the wounded heart of Seth. Cameron moves back home to create a stable life for Seth and to appease a fiesty social worker, Anna Spinneli. Cam and his brothers struggle to solve the mystery surrounding Seth and their father as well as the reason behind their father's accident. Cameron and Anna struggle to find a way for their relationship to flourish. Nora Roberts creates a family of believable, flawed, and intriguing characters in this book. I've already started the second and am enjoying it as much as I did the first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Swept Away!!
Review: This trilogy is a must read if you read Nora. Cameron's story is just great and basically lays the foundation for the other two, but this is the strongest. These guys are great and Anna Spinelli gives them a run for their money, especially Cam. It's a touching story about family loyalty. It's also a guy thing which is very endearing. Seth is pivotal here and it's lovely to see how they integrate him into everything. It shows how you never give up on your kids, exhausting though it may be, but rewarding.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A series of three books you CANNOT miss
Review: Once you have read the first book you have to go on to the other remaining two books. The Quinn brothers and their stories will touch your heart. Nora Roberts really out did herself on this series. Every word is worth the read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ~THE MIGHTY QUINNS!!!~
Review: Once again Nora Roberts has convinced me that she really knows how to tell a good story and keep you so connected with the characters that you feel a kinship with them. I purchased all three books in this series and let them set on my shelf for six months before I picked them up. That was all it took! After the first chapter I was hooked. The hook wasn't removed for three days(that's when I finished the last book).

The stories revolve around the three adopted sons of Raymond and Stella Quinn. Cameron, Ethan and Phillip.When each boy was adopted, they had less than normal childhoods but found the meaning of true love and family with Raymond and Stella.

On his deathbed, Raymond tells his three sons, now grown, to take care of Seth, the latest child to be adopted by the then widowed Raymond Quinn. Rumors start about the true parentage of the boy almost immediately after the elder Quinn's death, but the three older sons are determined to fulfill their fathers last wish at any cost.

The spirit of Raymond Quinn, along with three beautiful women adds romance and humor to this wonderful story. Get ready for a book reading marathon. After the first book you will not be able to rest until you read the other two. Do like I did buy all three at once and lock yourself in for a very exciting read! A trilogy you will want to read over again. Rising Tides, Sea Swept and Inner Harbor.

Rating: 4 stars
