I truly loved Ethan! He was my favorite brother and I just loved this story. I would have given it 5 stars instead if 4.5 if there would have been an epilogue :)The 2nd book in Nora Roberts Chesapeake Bay Saga continues with the lives of the adopted brothers, Cameron, Ethan, Phillip and Seth Quinn, who all have painful histories and were adopted by the amazing Ray & Stella Quinn when they were children. [image error]Ethan had always shared his fathers passion for Chesapeake and whilst the other two brothers the gypsy Cam had traveled the world racing boats and cars and Phillip, the urbane city lover advertising hotshot moved away, he stayed home
Better than the first book, I think, but not by a lot. Ethan isn't the demanding jerkwad that Cam is, but he has his own neuroses and it was layered on rather thick. The whole "I'm tragically flawed and must be alone" thing was rather self-indulgent and that stood against every other aspect of his life.That said, Grace was nine kinds of awesome, even if (view spoiler)[she did go kind of stupid with the whole assuming Ethan just needed her to take the steps to advance their relationship. She
3.5 Stars! I am often amazed when I read a Nora Roberts book. The opening of this book is just so lovely in terms of place, feeling, and character. How does she do this so prolifically? I love that Ethan is a working class hero and so devoted to his family. The loved forever theme is a fun one and Grace is great as well.Roberts writing shines but I am kept from falling in love with this book because I want to send Ethan to therapy and want what happens at the end of the book to occur in the
"Rising Tides" is Ethan Quinn's story and the strongest in the Chesapeake Bay series. I have to say though that the whole thing with Seth's biological mother has gotten beyond stupid at this point. There's a lot of things going on that I wonder why the police haven't become involved. We still have the magical realism elements popping up in this book that don't really work with everything else going on. Cameron is now married in this one and he and Anna are only in the last half of the book.
This book is boring and annoying. I don't particularly like Ethan or Grace, though I hate Grace even more. Nothing much happens here. Seth is even more annoying than ever. He punches Ethan in the face twice, and a few more times in the stomach. Actually punches him, with all his might! The stupid little kid! Yeah, he had a sucky few years of childhood, but that doesn't give him the right to punch his guardian! And not even get in trouble for it! I'm sorry, but Ethan should at least have yelled
Final rating: 4.75/5 starsAnother great book in the series. And another sudden ending, but I'm getting used to it since all stories are connected and the character stories don't end with each book as they appear through all 4 books. This time story focus is on Ethan, the second brother, continuing directly after the last book ended. And I loved it. I admit I was frustrated sometimes with the beating around the bush thing going on between the two center characters but I also loved it and I'm glad
