Summary
Summary
International best-selling author Nora Roberts's latest novel Chesapeake Blue is part of the Chesapeake Bay quartet featuring the Quinn brothers. The first ten years of Seth Quinn's life had been a prison of fear, abuse and neglect. It had made him stronger than most ten-year-old boys. And a great deal more wary. Ray Quinn had rescued him from all that. And, after their father's death, Philip, Ethan and Cam Quinn had continued his good work, raising Seth as their own brother. Now an adult and a successful artist, Seth is happy to return home to Cheasapeake Bay, to the only real family he has ever known. Drusilla Whitcomb Banks is a newcomer in town. And from the first time he meets her, Seth realises that she is way out of his league. She has money, class and an impeccable background. Added to which, her own history has taught her not to give her heart lightly. Despite these odds, Seth is determined to try. But their fledging relationship faces another threat; for if Seth is ever to win a place in Dru's affections, he must finally face up to his tragic past and the mother who sold him...

Library Journal Review
Roberts brings the readers back into the lives of the Quinn brothers and their families (after Inner Harbor). Seth Quinn, the youngest, is finally home from his artistic journey overseas, and the Quinn kin couldn't be happier. While Seth readjusts to small-town life, he catches the eye of the local florist, Dru Whitcomb Banks, and the two begin a relationship. However, he soon finds out that running away from his past is never the solution, and with his family by his side, he is never alone. James Daniels does a great job as narrator and brings to life all the residents of Chesapeake Bay and the emotional roller coaster of their lives-both in the past and the present. Verdict Highly recommended for Roberts's many fans.-Stephanie N. Juarez, Keach Family Lib., Robstown, TX (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
