Book Reviews of Chesapeake Blue (The Chesapeake Bay Saga, Book 4)
Book Review: Chesapeake Blue
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the reviews of Chesapeake Blue, I was a little unsure about reading the book. I'd just finished reading the other 3 books in the Quinn series and enjoyed each one. When I read J. Ellis' rant about how bad the book was, and who uses 'twaddle' anymore?, I didn't have high hopes and expected it to drag on.
Fortunately J. Ellis was all washed up in her 'twaddle'. The book was funny, Nora Roberts was able to pull the smart mouthed child Seth into the adult Seth very nicely and I enjoyed how she brought us up to date with all the earlier characters and showed the couples still in love after 18 years. Nora made Aubrey and Seth best friends and brother and sister and it was good that she didn't have them get together in a couples way, I think it would have given off a creep factor to their relationship. Dru's character wasn't flat, there was enough information and feeling written that rounded Dru out. I enjoyed from the beginning the arguments between the brothers and that all favorite dunking off the dock pasttime they have. Real siblings do act that way and worse.
All and all, Seth's story rounded out a very nice, fuzzy feeling saga very satisfactorily and I was a bit sorry to finish it. I wish the boatyard hadn't have been damaged and that Gloria had gotten more of a commupance, but we can't have it all.
Good job Ms Roberts
Book Review: Chesapeake Blue
Summary: 4 Stars
Seth Quinn is all grown up and has returned home. He is a very successful artist, and while his family is excited to see him, they know something is wrong.
Gloria DeLauter is Seth's biological mother. She has been making threats to all he holds dear. While he is now an adult, her presence brings out his insecurities and old fears Seth thought he had banished. He has been paying her blackmail for years, but when she ups the ante; Seth knows he has to go to his family for help.
This is a good conclusion to the series. In this book we see the family dynamic come full circle. They laugh, argue, but they do it all as a family.

This is a well written ending to the Quinn story. This is the story of Seth, grown up from the earlier books in the series. This is one of my favorites that I re-read often. I recommend this entire series!Book Review: Great, as per usual...
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Nora Roberts, and especially when she writes sagas. This fourth book in the Chesapeake Bay saga is great. I loved seeing Seth as a grown up, as well as the closeknit family dynamic. At first, I wasn't too sure about Dru but as the story went along she grew on me, and I think she's the perfect balance to Seth.
