Book Description:
In the first volume in a trilogy about the Quinns, three brothers from the Maryland shore, Cameron, a champion boat racer, returns home at the behest of his dying father to care for Seth, a troubled young boy.

A champion boat racer, Cameron Quinn traveled the world spending his winnings on champagne and women. But when his dying father called him home to care for Seth, a troubled young boy not unlike Cameron once was, his life changed overnight...

After years of independence, Cameron had to learn to live with his brothers again, while he struggled with cooking, cleaning, and caring for a difficult boy. Old rivalries and new resentments flared between Cameron and his brothers, but they tried to put aside their differences for Seth's sake. In the end, a social worker would decide Seth's fate, and as tough as she was beautiful, she had the power to bring the Quinns together - or tear them apart...

I happened to read the 4th book in the Chesapeake Bay series, Chesapeake Blue first. I enjoyed the characters and the theme of these books so much that I continued to read the rest of the series. Sea Swept focuses on the oldest of four adopted brother, Cameron Quinn. The themes prevalant in this series are commitment, perseverance, compromise, and unconditional love. Enjoyed the setting for the stories -- a small, quiet town along the shore.

Reading Nora Roberts is great, romantic escapism. This series was especially fun because the lead characters are men. They are well written and an enjoyable change from her usual female leads.

Nora Roberts writes in a smoothly flowing way. This book is the 1st in the Chesapeake Bay series and wow, what a start. Excellent! Love, sex, family, this book has it all. If you know her writing, don't miss this one. If you have never tried Nora Roberts, this is a great way to start. You will zip thru this book, and be pacing the floors waiting for the next in the series.

If you haven't read the Chesapeake Bay series yet, I highly recommend it. Books are about 3 brothers (each book focuses on one brother) and their father dies. The father had just adopted a son, Seth, and now it is up to them to raise the son. There are romances but they also go through all the trials of being single parents (especially single fathers). I read one after the other and couldn't put them down! By the way, there is a 4th book about Seth when he is grown up.

I enjoyed this book very much. Roberts grabs from the very beginning and keeps you reading until the end.

Cameron Quinn was a troubled boy who grew into a reckless playboy who races boats for a living. He meets his match in his foster brother Seth and Anna, the social worker. This is a rolicking good time and a fabulous start to the Quinn Brothers series.

Nora Roberts is a terrific author who writes the hell outta a romance novel. She makes the men shine and the women real. I've never read a NR book that I haven't loved.

Nora Roberts writes a good series with the Quinn Boys. This is second or third time I have read this one.

The first novel in a stunning new trilogy of three young men bound by love of the extraordinary couple who took them in and raised them as brothers. Now grown and living on their own, the Quinn brothers must return to the family home of the Maryland shore, to honor their father's last request...

This series of books are about three boys who came from troubled homes and were taken in by the Quinns. Both the mother and the father have died and now they are responsible for a fourth boy that was taken in just before the father died. Reading about the abuse of these boys before they were taken in is really touching to see where they go with their lives. Really have enjoyed reading this series.

There is a fourth book that continues on with the forth brother the book is "Cheasapeke Bay." Need to read that book also to get the full story.
