Audio CD Description Sibling trilogies are fast becoming Nora Roberts's forte. Sea Swept tells the tale of three brothers--all former juvenile delinquents adopted by Raymond Quinn and his wife, Stella. Cameron, Ethan, and Philip are as different as can be, but they are bound by their love and respect for their adoptive father, who has recently passed away. On his deathbed he asks his sons to look after their most recent brother, 10-year-old Seth, who--if the rumors are to believed--just may be Ray's biological son. Of course, the brothers don't know anything about caring for the young boy, and if social worker Anna Spinelli has anything to say about it, they won't. However, the sparks that fly over the fate of Seth are nothing compared to the romantic sparks that fly between Anna and Cameron. Nora Roberts once again proves why she is the premiere author of 1990s contemporary romance. Her stories have universal appeal, and Sea Swept is no exception.

Customer Reviews Cameron Quinn Makes Your Heart Race! Sea Swept is the first book in the Chesapeake Bay trilogy and one that will grip the reader and not let go. This is a very different style for Nora Roberts, as she is writing from the male perspective and not from the female. The trilogy revolves around three brothers who came from very different backgrounds, each with their own horror story. Each of these boys were adopted by Stella and Ray Quinn who made them believe they were worthy of love and they truly became a family. The trilogy picks up when these three brothers are adults. Sea Swept is the story of the wildest brother, Cameron Quinn. For years Cameron was independent and traveled on the racing circuit as a professional boat racer. He was a champion and enjoyed all that came with that title - fast cars, fast women, fast money, and a fast life. One night Cameron receives a phone call that puts a halt to that way of life and he races against the clock to make it to the hospital to be with his dying father, Ray Quinn. Cameron makes a deathbed promise to his father that he will help raise Seth, a young teenage boy his father has taken in just like the three older boys. So begins the tale of Cam trying to learn to live with his brothers again, while trying to learn about being a guardian. Cam realizes that he will no longer be able to travel the world racing boats, so he and his brothers, Phillip and Ethan, decide to build boats instead. The Brothers Quinn, boat building company is born. It's not a straight-forward story by any means. The new business is fine, but Nora Roberts has to throw in a few wrenches to make the story interesting and impossible to put down until the last page is read. It seems Seth's fate will be determined by a social work, Anna Spinelli. Anna is to evaluate the situation and decide if Phillip, Cam and Ethan will be able to raise Seth in an environment that will be suitable to an impressionable teenager. Now the real question is whether Anna can tame Cameron while still having Seth's best interest in mind. There have been mixed reviews on this series because it is such a detour from Nora Roberts' normal books. The male perspective is sometimes interesting and other times very funny. Since Roberts grew up with several brothers, she captures the male world perfectly. If you read this book with the idea that a man is writing it, you'll love it. If you read the book for pure content and enjoyment, you'll love it. But if you read it and want to compare it to other Nora Roberts books, you may be disappointed. So read it like you're reading a new author and enjoy each page! LOVE IT This series is definatly my very favorite. The Quinns are amazing people, and I love Cam's personality. Anna and Cam are great together, and I love how Cam forges a bond with Seth that is unlike Seth's bond with Ethan and Phillip. I read all these books in four days, and I just couldnt put them down. They would make great movies and I would like to see a book about Aubrey. The only thing I would have changed about Chesapeake Blue is having more about Seth's relationship with his older brothers making boats. It was really interesting seeing how they interact. It would be cool to see a book about Ray and Stella meeting and falling in love too. These are some books I just never wanted to end! Nora at her finest This series shows us the true perfection that is Nora Roberts. You can read it for enjoyment or to study the beautiful way she crafts, like I do, over and over again. Excellent, alive characters. Scenes you can walk into and stay a while in. People you want to find. Yes, reading Nora is having a peek at some place, some people, you want to seek out and meet. A place you want to go see for yourself. The whole series is excellent but this book is my favorite. Cam and Anna are some of her most amazing characters yet.
