QUINN BOOKS

The books arrived very quickly and were in great condition, great stories as usual by Nora Roberts. Thanks for making it easy for me to get them.

A Family Affair

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.

Chesapeake hunks in new clothing

Who doesn't love the fabulous, sexy, family-oriented Quinns? Hot as hell, a little dangerous, and still devoted to family. The only question is, where can I find Seth Quinn in flesh-and-blood. I love the new trade paper formats being used for reissues of Nora's trilogies--not only do I end up with more room on my shelves for future Nora books, but I can replace my old, well-loved mass markets without feeling guilty and reread the new editions to revisit my favorite Nora stories and characters. All hail Nora, goddess amongst romance authors!
