sarah1984's review against another edition
I have come to the decision after reading 6 or 7 Nora Roberts books that they are too slow for me. There's not enough action and the romance is too short lived - it tends to only last half a page to a page, sometimes only a couple of sentences. I don't think, despite the interesting sounding blurb on the back of her books, that I will bother reading any more of her books.

As always, I'm going to start off by saying I am an avid Nora Roberts reader. I prefer her trilogies and I love her books even if they all follow the same basic outline with the same different but similar characters. They entertain me regardless. So I guess I'm saying don't flame me just because I like fluffy non-thought provoking reading.
Nora Roberts writes many trilogies, or in this case a saga, it is my absolute favorite of hers. The setting is the beautifully described Chesapeake Bay area. It revolved around three brothers, but not brothers by blood instead, three troubled boys who were adopted by one couple. And the newest member of the family is admitted, this young boy, Seth brings with him many unanswered questions about his past, and the three brother's adopted father.
Book three, my least favorite, mainly because I find Philip to be irking to say the least. It was a progression in the overlaying plot though. It was alright but compared to Ethan's story it couldn't compare. Philip just is a shallow character in comparison to his brothers.

not quite as engaging as the first in the series but it builds on the other two pretty well.

Better than the first two. The narrator of this audiobook is much better than the others. Robert’s characters are a lot more likable and it was a rather good finish to the story behind Gloria and Seth.

Sybil and Phillip are so weirdly perfect for each other! As the Quinn's finish the fight for Seth, Sybil brings the last pieces this family needs to finalize guardianship, win their case with the insurance company, and answer the questions about Ray Quinn's eyes in Seth's face. This may be my favorite book in the quartet (though the 4th one is also pretty awesome!)!
