Summary: The Quinn Family Saga Continues On......
Comment: I enjoyed the book overall. This is a wonderful series about an adoptive family that works well together no matter what.
The heart and soul of the Maryland Eastern Shore are its watermen, the men who make their livings on the Chesapeake Bay and its channels. They face hardships, storms, short seasons. Day after day and year after year they ply the waters-setting their crab pots, dredging for oysters-and are privy to a world many of us will never know. Seeing the red dawn break over dark water, watching a storm roll in slow and black from the east. In their rubber boots and gloves, they pilot their workboats through frigid dawns or sweltering afternoons searching for the blue crab the area is famous for.
Ethan Quinn is a waterman. He wasn't born to this tradition, but he embraced it. He's a quiet man whose heart runs as deep as the waters he loves. In Rising Tides, he faces more than the challenge of making his living on the Bay or struggling to make the fledgling boat business he and his brothers began a success.
There's Seth, a young boy who needs him, and a woman and child he wants to love, but never felt he could have. To shape his life around them, Ethan will have to face his own dark past, and accept himself for who he is, and also what he wants to become.

Summary: Audiocassette review
Comment: First, I must say that I loved the book Rising Tides; in fact, I thought the trilogy was one of Nora Roberts' best. Since I enjoy listening to books on tape while I am commuting, I checked out this book's unabridged version from the library.
Of course, the story line, whether read or heard, holds up well, but I was a bit taken aback at the voice of Cameron Quinn. I realize that one narrator must convey all of the characters' voices and maintain the listener's understanding of who is thinking or saying the statement, but, really. David Stuart made Cam sound like a 70 year old, 3 pack a day smoker with throat cancer. His gravelly voice really distracted from this audio.
I have also listened to the unabridged version of Sea Swept (also recorded by David Stuart), and he did Cam's voice in a much more moderate style.
Still, an enjoyable listen, and all of the positive reviews given the book's hardcover and paperback versions still apply.
Rating: 3
Summary: Read the whole series
Comment: I thought Rising Tides was the weakest of the first three Chesapeake books, perhaps because I wasn't as interested in the characters Ethan and Grace as I was in Cam and Anna. Ethan and Grace were very sweet, and Grace's experiences as a single mother added a nice, homey touch, but I simply wasn't as drawn to their characters. However, this is still a good book and I highly recommend the series.
