Cameron Quinn, A boat racer and playboy is called with his two bachelor brothers back to his dying father's bed to find out that his father has begun a process of adopting Seth, a 10 year old boy.The brothers are now faced with a decision:Fight for the right to adopt the boy, or each go back to their lives. Adopting the boy requires them all to live in their fathers house and provide a suitable environment for the boy to live in. They need to prove the authorities that they can raise the child,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

Nora is a master at cliched small towns. I love these types of stories! This is book one in her Chesapeake Bay saga. About three "brothers" who were each adopted during their wild and abused adolescences by Ray and Stella Quinn. They grow up to be respectable, honorable and handsome men.

A ten year old with a smart mouth and a
*Review without spoilers* Dont mix up who I am and what I am, she told him quietly. You have to be honest with me, or the rest of it means nothing.He was on his knees on the platform as he spoke, using his hands to show her. And still leaving her in the dark.But it didnt matter whether she understood the technique he described or not. She understood him. He might not realize it yet, but he had fallen in love with this place, and with the work he would do here. This was at least my fourth read
A decent story and a fun setting, but I really hated the romance in this one. Roberts is good and this one was written in the late 90s and that's about the time I have designated in my head when I don't expect a true loser or something I won't enjoy. And that expectation standsit's a good story and I cared about most of the characters and the setting is outstanding.But I kind of hated Cam. He's a selfish jerk from start to finish and he gets things his own way, far, far too often. And I hate the
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
