Delia (Australia) (2009/01/15):
Set on the windswept shores of the Chesapeake Bay, Nora Roberts's Rising Tides, the second book in the Quinn Brothers trilogy, continues the story of the lives and loves of adopted brothers Ethan, Cameron, and Philip Quinn. Eager to honor their father's dying wish that their other brother, Seth, be cared for, the three settle into life with a 10-year-old. Of all the brothers, it is Ethan who finds himself drawn to the young boy, because both suffered horrific abuse before being adopted by the Quinns. Time hasn't extinguished Ethan's pain, only buried it deep within his heart, a fact that may keep him from the only woman he has ever loved. A moving contemporary with universal appeal, Rising Tides is Nora Roberts at her best
Marianne (Australia) (2012/01/29):
Rising Tides is the second of the Chesapeake Bay series by Nora Roberts. Ethan, the quiet, crab-fishing middle Quinn brother, has been attracted to Grace Monroe since they were young, but first she was too young and then she was married and divorced and a young mother, and anyway, she couldn’t want this damaged soul, could she? Except she does: and finally takes action to make it clear. But as far as Ethan is concerned, their relationship can’t progress to marriage because of something that happened in his youth. Again, there is the underlying story of Seth DeLauter and the death of Ray Quinn, still unresolved. Roberts once again touches on child abuse, sexual, physical and emotional, as well as pride, trust, social work and “the System” and bad blood. Seth’s mother, Gloria, makes her unwanted presence felt by letter and phone. Not as much of the humorous interaction between the brothers as the first of the series, Sea Swept, but still filled with likeable characters, laughs, some lump-in-the-throat moments, it is, ultimately, a heart-warming read. The need for resolution of Seth’s parentage is not the only thing that will send readers looking for the third instalment, and Phillip Quinn’s story, Inner Harbour.
