Somewhat uninteresting

Entire book about Ethan and Grace with almost no continuing elements from first book (Seth's behavior issues, the boat business, Ray's mysterious connection to Seth, Cam & Sarah's early adjustments to marriage, and what's happening with Philip during most of story?). I would have liked more of the overall story, and other characters, with Ethan & Grace being latest sub-plot. (More like the way first book was structured). Narrator is excellent and I will move on to 3rd book in series hoping it will pick up the pace a bit. I know it will be about Philip mostly, but maybe more elements will be woven back into the whole Quinn story.

Must read Trilogy, now there is a FOURTH BOOK!!

Each book leaves you want more from these incredible characters..... so hard to put down

A feel-good book

A feel-good book with a sound bit of human understanding thrown in. Now # three.

The Quite Ones You Have To Watch Out For

Ethan seems quite but fines out he is really bossy. Tight with the family but slow in love he just needed a fire lit under him because he is HOT HOT. Great 2nd book

Ethan's stroy

The second in the Chesapeake Bay quartet is Ethan's story. I learned a bit more about boat building, and what being a waterman is but also got drawn deeper into the story of the Quinn's and what and how each of them came to be Quinn's. Again the good guys are fabulous and the villain is hideous. I will visit these books again.
David Stuart's performance adds a lot to the overall feel of a great story.

Again & Again

I am so glad I decided to read this series again! In true Nora Roberts style she weaves this story about brothers that found their way to happiness after childhood abuse!

I LOVE This Series - Great Book 5 Stars

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rising Tides?

*

In the second installment of the series we are focused on Ethan, his past and it the similarities to young Seth.

Grace is a young mother who is doing any job she can to make a life for her young daughter. She is the housekeeper at the family home (Ethan and brothers) by day & barmaid/waitress by night.

Grace and Ethan have known each other forever and she has always had a thing for him & him for her. Ethan doesn't want to think about Grace, as she is quite a bit younger than him. This is a great romance story.

However, it is much more than a simple romance – actually complex romance. Much of the focus is on Ethan's life before he met the Quinn family and they rescued him from a horrible past. But because of that past he does not believe he is deserving or can care or love anyone.

Great narration – feminine female, male toddler, 12-year-old & elderly man are all done with near perfection.

I absolutely love this series. I just bought the last two!.

Notes: Description of sex, few cusses, the subject of child molestation runs throughout the book as characters try to deal with past.

Credit worthy/$ : Absolutely on either. I can to continue with the series but at the same time I want to take my time because I don't want to series to and. Does that make sense?
