Summary: Simply Breathtaking!!
Review: It's amazing how well Nora Roberts tells a story. I am a big fan of Nora's trilogies. This story of Cameron, Anna, Seth and the entire Quinn family just tugged on my heart strings. It was easy to picture the three main characters struggle with and ultimately lose the battle against falling for one another.

Summary: Nora does it again
Review: I have read all three of these books. You are hooked from the very first one. Sea Swept. Nora places you right in the lives of these characters. You will want to know what is on the next page. I carried mine everywhere with me. And waited impaitently for the next in the trillogy. The brothers have a deep love for their adoptive dad, and the young Seth. All of them so different in character and yet so much alike. You will really enjoy this grouping. I know I did.

Summary: Swept by this book
Review: I felt abandoned leaving home and off to college. I roomed in with a book worm who inspired me to read. I didn't like it so much at frist, until I picked up this book Sea Swept by Nora Roberts. I have brother's of my own and in some way they both remind me of Cameron Quinn the no strings attached, womanizer, and adrenalence of living on the edge. Great book and I can't wait to read the next triology Rising Tides.

Summary: A new Nora Roberts fan
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Quinn brothers trilogy. I had never read any of Robert's novels before, but found these books to be compelling enough for me to read all three of them in a short amount of time. You must read them in order to enjoy the whole story.

Summary: Movie Proposal
Review: First of all I'd like to say the reason I'm proposing this book to James Cameron, even though I have about a million directors to choose from, is because after seeing James Cameron's work, I know that he would do an absolute amazing job with the story. I have to say what attracted me to Sea Swept by Nora Roberts, was the fact that it was a romance novel. But now that I've read it, it seems to be much more than that. Before going on I should let you know that this isn't just one book, Sea Swept is the first book in a trilogy. This first book is revolved around Cameron, the second on Ethan, and the third on Phillip. The story is about three brothers that are all grown up, had lost their mother 10 years ago to cancer, and were rushing back home to Chesapeake Bay to watch their father die. The sons are Cameron, Ethan, and Phillip. Cameron is a champion boat racer who lives around Europe while Ethan is a quite fisherman that lives near his father and then there's Phillip, he's the businessman with the tailored suit. A very intriguing part of this story is that, none of the three sons are biological sons. Ray Quinn and his wife Stella (the parents) took in these three boys after finding them literally on the street. Each boy had grown dealing with either abusive, drug-addicted, or a combination of both type of parents. When they come home to say goodbye to their father, they find that there's an 11 year-old boy named Seth that their father had "found" right before he died. But Ray had made the boys promise that they would take good care of the boy, because he was one of them. They had to keep the promise, but that caused a million problems. They had to deal with a social worker that Cameron eventually fell in love with, and they had emotional times because they found out that Seth was actually Ray Quinn's blood. That led to them to a "wild goose chase". Of course in the end all ends well, which makes the story absolutely perfect. And now to the part of making a movie out of amazing book. In my eyes, many people enjoy a story of hardships between families, lovers, friends that end the perfect way. This book is a perfect example of this. While watching Cameron slowly fall in love with Anna, (the social worker) you just want to constantly "aww" at the thought of what they're going through. And the climaxes in the story are very captivating. The audience will laugh, cry and in the end feel fulfilled. It could be considered a feel-good movie. Nora Roberts has done an remarkable job bringing these characters to life in her book, and I know that out there, there are the perfect actors to bring these characters to life on the silver-screen. This may not be a "Titanic", but it would be a touching story of people trying to find themselves, and in the end doing exactly that where they least considered coming across it, with their families. This book is actually incredibly important when it comes to hopeless romantics like myself. The story just compels you and you cannot go by without reading it, which makes it important to make into a movie for the reason that many people would rather see a movie than read a book. When the story gets to the point where all three brothers are becoming closer to the "new kid," Seth. That leads them to start treating him like their new brother and that seems to be a very unexpected feeling for them. Altogether, this movie would not only be very entertaining, but it would teach an incredible moral about life, love and family. It could take place at Chesapeake Bay, which would make it absolutely perfect and it would get great reviews. A heart-warming story that leaves people wanting to know what happens next in the lives of the Quinn's is exactly what the people need right now. Amongst all the movies with amazing special effects, violence, technology, and futuristic ones, comes one where you're just amazed at the vitality of these real people. The story can relate to people's lives, which would get more of an audience and make the story a success. There is no losing in making a motion picture of this stunning book, Sea Swept.

Summary: Kept me interested
Review: Nora Roberts was new to me as an author. I look forward to more of her work.

This is a story mainly about three brothers and their attempts to raise a fourth. As I read I often saw one of my own brothers and all of my sons portrayed from time to time. Nora hit home when it come to a house full of men. I often chuckled and was occasionally brought up short thinking about my own family. I have read the second book in this trilogy targeting Ethan in this ongoing struggle with the ten year old. Loved it also.

I am trying to find the third story regarding Philip so I can complete the saga.

Summary: A great family!
Review: Sea Swept is the first book in the trilogy. The trilogy tells the stories of the three former juvenile delinquents whom a kind man with his wife had adopted. The three teenagers grew up into fine young men due to the love that the couple has showered upon them.

"Sea Swept" is Cameron's story. Due to the death of his father, he was summoned from his beloved fast-paced life of fast cars and pretty girls, back to his old family home. His two brothers were already there but there was an additional younger brother, Seth. Seth was adopted a few months before his father's death. He had a pitiful childhood, similar to the other Quinn brothers. Seth was a untrustful kid who kept mostly to himself. Cameron had to learn to live with his brothers again, but this time also ensuring that the welfare of Seth was met. From there, an attraction blossomed between Cameron and a social worker, Anna Spinelli.

A heart-warming read...
