Of three brothers, it was Ethan who shared his father's passion for the Maryland shore. And now, with his father gone, Ethan is determined to make the family boatbuilding business a success. But amidst his achievements lie the most important challenges of his life.

There is young Seth, who needs him more than ever. And a woman he has always loved but never believed he could have. But beneath Ethan's seemingly still waters is a dark and painful past. He must learn to see around the shadows to accept who he is. Because through Ethan's past lies the future - and his one chance at happiness.

Entire book about Ethan and Grace with almost no continuing elements from first book (Seth's behavior issues, the boat business, Ray's mysterious connection to Seth, Cam & Sarah's early adjustments to marriage, and what's happening with Philip during most of story?). I would have liked more of the overall story, and other characters, with Ethan & Grace being latest sub-plot. (More like the way first book was structured). Narrator is excellent and I will move on to 3rd book in series hoping it will pick up the pace a bit. I know it will be about Philip mostly, but maybe more elements will be woven back into the whole Quinn story.

Ethan and Grace have always pined for each other. Ethan felt that he couldn’t do anything about it, because he survived something horrible as a child and was afraid that he could be capable of what his mother had done. Grace is a single mom, and finally done waiting for Ethan. Especially when he gets possessive over her and her daughter. The overarching plot about Seth and how his mother blackmailing the brothers continued on. We got to know a lot more about Seth and went he went through. I liked the romance, the characters, and the plot. This one is better than Sea Swept.

While I love a good love story- the graphic love making scenes are a turn off and I skip them

Classic love story - love scenes parts were not overly graphic

Ethan seems quite but fines out he is really bossy. Tight with the family but slow in love he just needed a fire lit under him because he is HOT HOT. Great 2nd book

I am so glad I decided to read this series again! In true Nora Roberts style she weaves this story about brothers that found their way to happiness after childhood abuse!

The second in the Chesapeake Bay quartet is Ethan's story. I learned a bit more about boat building, and what being a waterman is but also got drawn deeper into the story of the Quinn's and what and how each of them came to be Quinn's. Again the good guys are fabulous and the villain is hideous. I will visit these books again.
David Stuart's performance adds a lot to the overall feel of a great story.
