Nora Roberts (Author)

Book Description

Series: Chesapeake Bay | Publication Date: February 7, 2006

For the first time, the final two novels of Nora Roberts's breathtaking Chesapeake Bay saga are together in one volume, bringing "a welcome crescendo to the story-symphony that is the family Quinn in all its boisterous, loving resonance" (BookPage).

Includes the novels

Inner Harbor

Phillip Quinn has done everything to make his life seem perfect. With his career on the fast track and a condo overlooking the Inner Harbor, his life on the street is firmly in the past. But one look at Seth and he's reminded of the boy he once was.

Chesapeake Blue

Now a grown man returning from Europe as a successful painter, Seth Quinn is settling down on Maryland's Eastern Shore, surrounded once again by Cam, Ethan, and Phil, their wives and children, all the blessed chaos of the extended Quinn clan. Finally, he's back in the little blue-and-white house where there's always a boat at the dock, a rocker on the porch, and a dog in the yard. Still, a lot has changed in St. Christopher since he's been gone-and the most intriguing change of all is the presence of Dru Whitcomb Banks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Family Affair, July 21, 2006

This review is from: The Quinn Legacy (Chesapeake Bay) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read the second installment on the new printouts that Nora has published (4 Quinn novels - 2 in each book) and I have to say Phillip and Seth's story were every bit as good, if not better, than the first half - The Quinn Brothers - Cameron and Ethan. The first novel, "Inner Harbor" takes us through the continuing saga of three lost boys taken in by Ray and Stella Quinn. This is Phillip's story and it centers around Sybill Griffin (Seth's aunt) however, no one knows that on the onset. Sybill has come to St. Chris to check on her sister's (Gloria De Lauter) son, Seth and see if he is being properly taken care of (according to Gloria, he's been kidnapped by the Quinns)! Gloria has a long history of storytelling and Sybill decides it is in the boy's best interest to see for herself. Through it all, she meets up with the Quinns and starts to develop a relationship w/Phillip. Once Phillip finds out who she is, he is annoyed, to say the least, and determined to sever all ties, however, he is drawn to this lady and her to him and that is where the romance comes in along with the struggle to hold onto Seth. Gloria is determined to make trouble for the Quinns and the question is, how long will it take Sybill to come to terms with the fact that her sister is truly a woman with very serious problems, both mentally and physically. The second novel in the book, "Chesapeake Blue," tells Seth's story. The story begins 18 years later with Seth just coming back to St. Chris from Italy, a world-renowned artist. Seth meets the new girl in town, Druscilla (Dru) Whitcomb Banks, the product of a very well-to-do family, escaping her own prior life for the peace and quiet of a coastal small town and a chance to make it on her own with her flower shop. The romance is centered on Dru and Seth now but the conflict still lies with the unresolved matter of Seth's mother, Gloria who is determined, at any cost, to squeeze every penny out of the Quinns and her son to "get her fair share." "The Quinn Legacy" is a wonderful culmination to the story of the 4 brothers, Cam, Ethan, Phillip and Seth and the development of their families. The description of St. Christopher and the local shops and people is an added treat.

This review is from: The Quinn Legacy (Chesapeake Bay) (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked the four brothers as they banded together in good and bad times. The other characters worked quite well too. I didn't like the language in it. I think if it was not in the book it would have been better to read. I was given this book so I'm glad I didn't buy it. It has plenty of romance too.
