Cedar Cove Series

I have read all the stories in the books of the Cedar Cove Series, and I could not put any of the books down until I had finshed reading them. It is the best series I have read to date and I can hardly wait until the next one is publised. I believe that will be this coming fall and I will keep watch for it. The families in these books are so real, I can picture all of them as they move about in your stories. Please accept my congratulations on your talent Debbie.
Sincerely, Joyce

OK book

This book was good. I did think the characters Cecilia and Ian were sort of weak. They did not come across strong at all. I got 311 Pelican Court from the library not knowing there was a second book and Pelican Court was #3. After reading the reviews on Rosewood Lane, I will not read it. I found out in the third book what happened to Dan. I am enjoying Pelican Court.

Debut of Pacific Northwest series

This book has a beautiful setting--that of the mythical small town of Cedar Cove, Washington, and an interesting cast of characters. The central character is Olivia, a family court judge whose marriage ended in divorce when one of their children died. Her mother Charlotte is constantly dropping in on her daughter's courtroom and gathering new recipes which she tries out on other people. The younger generation is represented by Justine, Olivia's daughter, who has her own ideas about love and marriage. A fourth important character is Olivia's friend Grace, whose husband Dan has a penchant for disappearing without warning. Lastly, is Cecilia who married a young Navy man rather impusively and now regrets it. Macomber moves her plot from one character to another, which keeps things interesting. Some of the plot lines come to a resolution in this book, but there's plenty of room for more action in future books in the series.

Pleasant contemporary novel

I was going to say romance but there isn't really a lot of romance in this book. No passionate scenes, hardly more than a bit of chaste kissing. Oh, well.

The book revolves around the lives of five women who are related, one only tangentially, to each other and who each face crises related to a love relationship. The characters are well written and the plots evolve to logical, predictable conclusions. There is nothing unique or memorable about them.

If you are looking for a light read for when you are sitting in the doctor's waiting room or on the train commuting to work, this book is a good choice. If you want excitement, characters you are passionate about and a story where you can't wait to see what happens next, this isn't it.
