The main thing I object is, cliché. Am I that stupid? Yes, I am. I really enjoy romances, quick light fix of alpha male and alpha female, just it’s hard to find an intelligent romance. But it is. Most of them are so badly written, that every time when I see so many 5 stars, I think about the readers and the old lady and her cats metaphor. Don't you have any whatsoever criteria if you rate THIS book 5 stars? Why do they have to be so transparent? Quick fix doesn't necessarily need to be shallow a...
I was given this rather tatty, dated looking, tanned book and must admit, didn't think I would finish it.Wasn't half as bad as I thought. Yes, times have changed since this was written in the nineties and some of the writing may not be particularly appropriate for today but it was a harmless little romance. Think this deserved 2.5 stars.
3.5⭐A feel-good family drama with a touch of mystery and (quite steamy) romance. Set in St. Christopher's, Maryland, the Quinns foster and adopt trouble boys. They adopted three boys Cameron, Ethan, and Phillip. Ray, a widower died leaving Seth, 10 years old the newest family member. Cam is the oldest and loves traveling and racing but is back home to pick up the pieces and honor Ray's dying wish to take care of Seth.I didn't realize that each book in the series focuses on each adult boy so this...
DNF for the second time. At least now I reached almost 90% before giving up:) It's not bad, but I really can't get over the heroine screwing one of her 'cases' -very unprofessional & unethical- and the complete lack of tension between them. Not sexual tension, there was tons of that, but conflict. I mean, it's a story of boy meets girl, girl likes boy, they start dating, having sex and then realizing it was more serious than they first thought. No problems, no big fights, no differences between
Update: February 21st, 2019I keep rereading this book and every time I do, I love it even more. I thank the romance Goddesses for placing this wonderful story in my way. Sea Swept is without a doubt the best of the best in romance. If I had to pick a book to read for the rest of my life, this would be it.First review: July 2011My first book by Nora Roberts was "Vision in White". I actually read the entire series (Bride Quartet) since I bought the 4 books at the same time. I liked it but there wa...
I'm going thru yet another Nora Roberts "phase" and reading her books again.I have always loved this series and Cameron's HEA is one of my favorites. He's just as a fabulous alpha-hero. Playboy boat racer who is suddenly faced with great changes in his life, after his adopted father's death.Nora Roberts writes the most amazing family sagas and this is one of those. Three troubled teenagers who are adopted by the Quinn's who are having to deal with Seth, who was in the process of being adopted be...
DNF. I liked the writing, and enjoyed the interaction between the Quinn brothers, but I could not relate to the romance.Problems:In the opening scene we meet the hero, Cam, as a love-them-and-leave-them type who uses women and tosses them aside like used tissues.A bit later we meet Anna, a dedicated social worker who takes on the case of Cam's young foster brother.After Anna has made two professional visits to the Quinn home, Cam turns up uninvited at her apartment late in the evening. The two e...
This felt like a surface book to me. There was no depth at all. The characters had very little development, and Anna and Cam had no chemistry at all, so I have no idea why the got together. Anna was annoying and got mad every two seconds for no reason. Anna's sob story did not ring true, and felt fake and forced, as if put there to make her seem real, when it had the opposite effect. Cam's sob story was never discussed; it just loomed in the distance for basically no reason. I felt nothing for t...
Re-Read.Thank God I now have ebook copies of this series. More handy for rereads.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Nora Roberts is not my first favorite author but the badass characters in this series of her were definitely the first I've ever read. This made me realize that THIS is my thing. Not the sappy romance novels or the totally erotic ones.Cameron Quinn was my first badass encounter. At first, I didn't understand him. He made an impression on me as rude, selfish and blithe sonofabitch. But eventu...
Cameron Quinn. *sigh* It's not that he's not handsome, exciting and sexy but he can be a bit dense when it comes to love. He has lived the last ten years racing boats and sleeping with beautiful women. Then the father who took him out of the gutter, adopted him and gave him a family, dies suddenly. Cam rushes home to find his father was in the process of adopting another troubled boy. Now Cam and his two brothers have to raise Seth. Along the way he meets the pretty case worker in charge of t...
