Publisher's summary

A champion boat racer, Cameron Quinn traveled the world spending his winnings on champagne and women. But when his dying father calls him home to care for Seth, a troubled young boy not unlike Cameron once was, his life changes overnight.

After years of independence, Cameron has to learn to live with his brothers again, while he struggles with cooking, cleaning, and caring for a difficult boy. Old rivalries and new resentments flare between Cameron and his brothers, but they try to put aside their differences for Seth's sake.

In the end, a social worker, as tough as she is beautiful, will decide Seth's fate. She has the power to bring the Quinns together - or tear them apart...

Great story...voices..eh

I have this series in print, but I do a lot of driving and need some great books to listen to. Nora always provides great storylines! However, this audio has some not-so great voices for the male characters. Cameron was great, but Ethan and Philip are so very feminine. I am going to listen to the samples of their books in this series before buying, because I can't imagine listening to either of those girly voices for a whole book! Especially Ethan! He should sound very rugged, not soft and girly! 😂

First book syndrome

This is one of my favorite series by La Nora. I read it for the first time right after it was published in 1997 and thought it was fascinating to have a primarily male POV in a romance. I loved the changes in Cam’s and Seth’s characterization. I also liked the development of Anna’s and Cam’s love story although I think it only comprised half of the story, barely qualifying it as a Romance.

There are elements that may make readers cringe if this is the first time they’re reading the book (sexist language, toxic masculinity behavior, etc) but there’s no question that any intimacy was always consensual.

I enjoyed Mr. Stuart’s narration. He gave enough differentiation among the characters to make each distinct. His female voice isn’t too bad.

I've read this series multiple times!

I've read this series multiple times! I am slowly buying all of my favorite Nora Roberts on Kindle. I wish we could find a way to get a discount when we own the books already! I love Nora Roberts! Always have, always will!

What Makes a Real Family

I enjoyed this series when it was first published 10+ years ago; an engaging family drama about three adopted brothers who rally together to care for an abused 10 year old boy.

I love the way Nora Roberts creates strong, confident men who genuinely like & respect smart, assertive women and believe in protecting children. No domineering, selfish males or passive, wimpy females!

While the plot included realistic descriptions of physical and sexual abuse, the book emphasized emotional healing and unconditional love with moments of humor.
