Publisher's summary

Phillip's brothers, Cameron and Ethan, are now happily married. The family boat-building business is starting to thrive. And the Quinns are closer than ever to keeping Seth permanently protected from his errant mother, who would sell her own son rather than loving him the way the Quinns do.

Phillip Quinn understands Seth's troubled past. He has the scars from his own rough and tumble childhood on the streets of Boston. He spent his days stealing and his nights doing anything to make a fast buck.

Now he's a high-powered advertising executive who favors Armani suits and rare wines. When he meets educated, cultured Sybill, he figures he's found his perfect match. And when he discovers she has a family connection to young Seth, they join forces to secure the boy's future.

The saga continues: Pay another visit to Chesapeake Bay.

Loved the series

Where does Inner Harbor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Above average for the series

What was one of the most memorable moments of Inner Harbor?

The true coming together of a family

What does Guy Lemonier bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Was not pleasantly surprised by a new reader. After some adjustment I was able to move along with him. Was aware it was always a male voice. This was sometimes disheartening.

A good read. really enjoyable

Narator was good but not excellent.
Nora Roberts always writes well..
It's a great sequence to the last two.

Good book, poor narration

I enjoyed the first two books of this series as well as the narration. Unfortunately, the third book wasn’t as good as the first two and the narration was just terrible.

Inner Harbor

What did you love best about Inner Harbor?

I first read the story of the Quinn's a few years ago. I wanted to hear Philip's story on audio to decide whether to buy the other books. I have never visited the Chesapeake Bay area, but the book makes you feel like you would love to live there.

What other book might you compare Inner Harbor to and why?

All the Quinn books are great and I would relate them to many of Nora Roberts series' books. They are easy to read and pulls you in to the story. If I would compare this book to another author, I would say either Catherine Coulter or Suzanne Brockmann.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator was good. He was very fluent and was confident in his speaking. It would have been better if they had added a female narrator for the ladies' voices. It would have made listening more memorable.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

On a weekend day, I would like to sit back and listen. Otherwise, I would take it a chapter at a time.

An author with that magic touch, she does it again

Would you consider the audio edition of Inner Harbor to be better than the print version?

No, but a well written book being read to me by a good narrator is just a special delight for me. Nora Roberts weaves the most entertaining stories and characters.

What other book might you compare Inner Harbor to and why?

Born of Ice, because of the strong quiet personality of the main characters.I found the whole series to be extremely entertaining.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Families are made of caring, not blood.

Any additional comments?

May Nora Roberts continue to find the inspiration to write such interesting stories, I have now read many of them and hold her ability in high regard.

Inner Harbor

Great story of how a family comes together to help and protect each other. Onto the next one.

ok

love the story but the other brothers are still my favorites

Phillip finds the woman he’s been waiting for

The Publishers Summary listed in Audible is mostly informative enough to decide if you’re interested in the basic story. Note: Phillip grew up on the streets of BALTIMORE not Boston.
Sybill initially comes to town without identifying her family connections. She wants to know how Seth is doing without the Quinn’s intervention. This 1998 third book in the original trilogy has Sybill helping the Quinns keep Seth and having Gloria leave town. A few years later, Roberts published Seth’s grownup story in Chesapeake Blue.
Lemonier has a pleasant voice, but seemed a bit too inconsistent; good with character dialogue, not as much on the narrative. I wish the publisher had kept David Stuart for this story as he did a decent job narrating books 1&2.
