Phillip Quinn and Sybill Griffin have an interesting and often argumentative courtship. Sybill is a psychologist and a write which plays both for and against her in her dealings with the Quinns. Technically this is the conclusion and it does nicely close up the ongoing conflicts with the Quinn family. However, Nora Roberts surprised us all by writing a fourth book, about Seth, of course. As he has been the glue which held all three books together. I can't wait to jump into Chesapeake Blue

Book 3 in the Quinn Brothers Trilogy: Book 1 was Sea Swept, Book 2 was Rising Tides and Book 3 is Inner Harbor. A sequel was made to this trilogy entitled Cheasapeake Blue. This trilogy tells the story of the Quinn Brothers (Cam, Ethan & Phillip) trying to raise Seth and finding love for theirselves. Sea Swept is Cam's story. Rising Tides is Ethan's story. Inner Harbor is Phillip's story. Cheasapeake Blue tells Seth story and lets us see him all grown up. A great series!
Nora Roberts....what can I say? This trilogy was good..
I really thought that this book was very interesting and a very good read. You would really need to start at the beginning of the series to really understand what's going on. But nevertheless it was excellent.
You must read the entire 4 book saga! This is book three.You fall in love with this family. phillip is the yuppy you love to hate. He is gorgeous and stylish, and falls for someone perhaps more complicated than he is.
Good, fast moving

THIS BOOK IS ONE I A SERIES AND IT VERY GOOD
Philip, the last unwed Quinn brother, juggling his high-powered advertising job and his newfound family duty of helping to care for his young adopted brother, Seth. When Dr. Sybill Griffin shows up in the sleepy town of St. Christopher, Philip makes room in his hectic schedule for the mysterious woman who stirs his senses and threatens to steal his heart. And while Sybill can't deny her own growing feelings for the charismatic Quinn, the secret connection to Seth that she hides may destroy any chance that the two young lovers have at happiness. Full of heartwarming familial moments, tender romance, and a touch of tension, Inner Harbor is an outstanding conclusion to a truly stunning trilogy.
Dr. Sybill Griffin, sociologist and renowned author, is on a mission. When her estranged sister Gloria DeLauter calls in hysterics, claiming that her 10 year old son Seth has been abducted by the Quinn family, Sybill doesnt know what to think.
In Glorias version of events, Seth was kidnapped, but Sybill knows that Gloria has a habit of lying. She resolves to find out the truth for herself. Traveling to St. Christophers under the pretext of writing a book, Sybill wanders by the Boats by Quinn warehouse and catches the eye of Phillip Quinn.
Between working in the city during the week and commuting back to St. Chris and the boat building enterprise on the weekends, Phillip doesnt have much time for socializing. Having a very attractive, bright woman walk in the front door might improve his social life immensely.
As she watches young Seth interact with the Quinn family, Sybill feels more and more guilty about deceiving them. Seth doesnt recognize her because they havent seen each other since he was 4 years old.
When Gloria returns, Sybills deception is revealed. Now she is not only faced with the potential loss of a relationship with her nephew, but the destruction of her burgeoning love affair with Phillip.

Great book...great series. I felt a connection with this family. I would recommend all of the books in this series.
nice story line,Read all four books.
Reading Nora Roberts is great, romantic escapism. This series was especially fun because the lead characters are men. They are well written and an enjoyable change from her usual female leads.
Once again you are brought into the lives, loves, and hurts of the Quinn family
As always a great read.
The final book in the Chesapeake Bay Trilogy. You will not be disappointed. I hated to end the series. I enjoyed it so much.

This is the third of the trilogy and is probably the best of all. This whole series is really great.
Phillip Quinn has been juggling two lives in order to protect his newest adopted brother, and watching while his eldest brothers find women they can love. When Sybil walks into the boatyard he is ready to welcome a distraction. But, Sybil is there for another reason.

3rd book in Nora Roberts' Chesapeake Bay series. Excellent! This book gives us the truth about Seth's parentage and ties up some loose ends. I highly recommend this book...and the whole series. My rating: 5 Stars.

Part of the Chesapeake Bay series about the Quinn Brothers. Excellent series. Vintage Nora Roberts.
Book three in the Chesapeake Bay Saga
This is the story of Phillip Quinn and was to conclude the trilogy of the Quinn brothers but then Roberts decided to add the story of Seth to this series. This was a good story and I am looking forward to reading Seth's as well.
This is the story of the third Quinn brother, and the final one in the trilogy. I loved it!!
Loved this trilogy!
excellent of course
continuing story of the Quinn brothers..this time its Phillip and a boy his father brings into the family
This is the conclusion to the Chesapeake Bay trilogy of the three Quinn brothers.From the back cover: Phillip Quinn had done everything to make his life seem perfect. With his career on the fast track and a condo overlooking the Inner Harbor, his life on the street was firmly in the past. But one look at Seth and he's reminded of the boy he once was.
Really good book :) Must read!
The final novel in the captivating trilogy of three brothers who have come together in a time of need. They honored their father's wish to raise young Seth as their own. And with all of the brothers home again, the Quinn family has never been so strong. Also a good stand alone read.
Cam was the speed-chasing playboy and Ethan the taciturn waterman. But former street hustler Philip Quinn was the stylish city dweller who took one look at Dr. Sybill Griffin and fell hard. Sybill made her mark in observational psychology, always ten paces back from the action. This time Philip wont let her avoid the fray. He finds Sybill attractive in ways he refuses to admit. When her relationship to his brother Seth is uncovered, Philip must reconcile his needs and hers with those of Seth. This final novel in the Quinn Brothers trilogy is equally as strong as the prior two (e.g., Rising Tides, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/1/98). Guy Lemonier is terrific at vocalizing Philip and particularly Sybill, whose cold, unemotional facade gives frosty new meaning. Roberts is at her best here, from the multifaceted characterizations to the carefully crafted plot twists. This, and the other titles in the series, are excellent additions to fiction collections.
