I always tell people that I never reread books. I'm starting to realize that is a lie. While I do not reread often,I do like to revisit some books, especially when they are written by my favorite author and I've read everything she has written! It has been almost 10 years since I last read of the Quinn Brothers, but this has always been my favorite trilogy.
Cam, Ethan, and Philip Quinn are all called home to their fathers unexpected deathbed, and find a surprise: a ten year old boy named Seth who their father was in the process of adopting. While the adoption is not that big of a surprise - The Mighty Quinn adopted all of his sons, saving them from hard lives and surefire destruction - but there seems to be more to Seth than meets the eye. Against the backdrop of a small working water town on Maryland's Eastern Shore, the brothers soon realize that his adoption involves speculation of scandal, a hard mother that will not go away, and they must band together to protect their newest family member.
The first three books are the original trilogy and tell the story of Cam, Ethan, and Phil adjusting to, accepting, and coming to love Seth as they fight to keep him safe. Obviously, there are some attractive women involved as well: Anna, Seth's caseworker, is the perfect blend of Italian temper and soothing logic for the fast-paced Cam; Grace and Ethan have known each other almost their whole lives, but it takes the shared interest in Seth's safety to convince these two shy and cautious individuals to move a little faster; and Sybil has a secret that almost ruins her relationship with Phil, but in the end she makes them a true family. The forth books is about Seth almost 20 years later. His past is still haunting him but the sophisticated Dru is the perfect person to give him the courage to hope for a new life.
I truly adore these books. The characters are wonderfully done: the interaction and love between the adopted brothers melts my heart. They razz each other, occasionally get into fights, are not overly emotional, but when push comes to shove they are all Quinns, and if you mess with one Quinn you mess with them all. The women are smart, strong, and equally loving. I did rate the first two books just a bit higher because I like the relationships of the main characters so much more...mainly because the two women are my favorite :)
Overall, quick, enjoyable reads, and a welcome visit to old friends.

I enjoyed the series very much. Nora Roberts is a wonderful writer. She knows how to bring the readed into the story she is telling.
