[Chesapeake Blue] [by: Nora Roberts]

Chesapeake Blue is the first full length novel I remember reading so rereading it was pretty nostalgic for me.

I loved Seth and Dru both as individuals and as a couple. I really just wanted to hug Seth and tell him everything was going to be alright and that I know this because I've read his story a million times when I was younger. Seth's family dynamics was so interesting to read and by the end I was low-key wishing I was one of them. Dru, on the other hand was a little hard to relate with but she was so perfect for Seth.

I did have some problems with some misogynistic and slut shaming language but it just pointed out how much Nora Roberts has grown because I know 2020 Nora Roberts will not be caught saying that shit.

Overall it was a really good read and I'm definitely going to reread again sometime in the future.

SETH ALL GROWN UP!! I gotta say the peer pressure exerted by my fellow fans to convince Nora Roberts to write the youngest Quinn brother's story was well placed! Seth realizes that Europe isn't far away enough to escape his awful biological mother. Homesick but wildly successful, Seth comes home to the Bay. When he decides flowers for the women in his life will earn him major points, Dru is more than happy to sell them to him from her shop on Main Street. Dru is a recent transplant (who just happens to have a studio apartment available above her flower shop), but her cosmopolitan roots give her the mojo to recognize Seth as a successful painter instantly. As Seth fights to protect his family and his home from Gloria (mother), he has a little help from Grandma Stella who is putting her oar in from beyond the grave. This is a smashing conclusion to a lovely series!

Seth’s story takes place 18 years after the third novel and is probably the one that I gravitated to the most throughout this series. To finally get to see him be happy and move on from his painful past, gives me joy. The Quinn brothers and their family really do show that through love, anything can mend and grow stronger.

Drusilla is the granddaughter of a senator and born from a wealthy family. To get away from the expectations of her family and be her own person, she settles in St. Christopher. She runs a flower shop where Seth meets her. Seth struggles with his past, deals with what is, and plans a future he can finally look forward to.

The ending to this series was bittersweet. I absolutely love the Quinn family and it was hard to say goodbye to them. In fact, I’ve read this series three times now and it will be one to go back to again when I’m in need of a great family story.

My mom was forever reading one of these Nora Roberts books. I see that there are quite a few of them. They're definitely not my style of book but as I sit in her house, doing her dishes, going through her mail, I am curious to know more about the private part of her life. She was a very private person.

I'm not sure what reading this book revealed to me about her. It's very romantic; very sexual. I don't really view my mother that way. My mom was very practical and sex didn't seem to be a source of fascination for her. So it makes me curious why she enjoyed reading these so much. Or did she like the ease with which you can fly through one?

I gave it four stars because it seems to be a good example of its type. My curiosity is satisfied and I can go back to reading the type of novel-lite which I prefer - Jack Reacher saving the day single-handedly, NetForce taking on another cyber-assassin, a classic I'm just now getting around to (Heart of Darkness).

I enjoyed this more than the first three. Maybe I'm just getting used to Roberts' style, because I would not have continued if I didn't want to know what happened to the characters. I do like the evocation of place.

Como siempre encantadora, es espectacular como se puede escribir una historia con temas tan fuertes de una forma tan simple.

Me encanta la relación de los hermanos, esa confianza absoluta

Como voy a extrañar a los hermanos Quinn!!! Después de cuatro libros ya me siento como parte de la familia!!

No puedo ser parcial con respecto a los libros de Nora porque adoro la forma que tiene de escribir y crear nuevos y mágicos mundos, esta saga no es la excepción.... simplemente me encantó!! Lo tiene todo, romance, suspenso, relaciones familiares realmente complicadas, compañerismo, hermandad, cuatro hombres extremadamente guapos que provienen de entornos para nada favorecedores pero a los que se les dió la oportunidad de cambiar su forma de vida y romper el circulo destructivo en donde estaban y ellos decidieron formarse un mejor futuro para ellos y sus respectivas familias. Realmente una saga fantástica!!!
