I enjoyed all the storylines but Roy and Corrie's was the best the revelation of who's been sending them all those notes was wonderfully done and very creative. On other fronts Cecelia's pregnant and worried this pregnancy will turn out like the last. Maryellen's also pregnant and having complications which put a strain on her and Jon's life. Linette's got a crush on a doctor but Corrie thinks she'd be better off with horse trainer Cal. Charlotte begins her new life with Ben.

Ms. Macomber is a talented, prolific writer who has created a wonderful "small town" named Cedar Cove. This town has so many fun, interesting, brooding people that the reader can't help but feel as if they belong as well.

In her latest effort we follow as Roy and Corrie come to terms with who is leaving notes behind, while trying to figure out just why this is happening. Corrie is still trying to make a match for her daughter Linnette, and Linnette is still trying to avoid that match. Linnette also has a new friend that she has connected with but has no idea that they are connected in the grand scheme of things.

More questions are asked, more happy ending are found. This is truly a series that you will want to start with at the beginning but even if you are new to this series this is still a fun and entertaining read.

The best part of the Cedar Cove series is finding out what is happening to characters who now seem like old friends. The featured couple in this book are Roy and Corrie McAfee who are receiving mysterious post cards from someone who forces them to look at their past. At the same time their daughter Linnette is moving back to town and Corrie tries to introduce her daughter to a young man she wants her to date. Olivia and Jack Griffin face a crisis in their marriage just as her mother Charlotte begins her new life with Ben Rhodes. There are romances, pregnancies, and births among the younger set, and an unfortunate fire which destroys a Cedar Cove landmark. Author Macomber does a good job of creating new situations for her characters and keeping up reader interest. The next book in the series will be 6 Ranier Drive, which will feature Seth and Justine Gunderson.

I have been reading the Cedar Cove series since its beginning and after I finish each book, I want to move there. I love the people, their lives and how they overcome the difficulties and setbacks they encounter. I enjoy these books immensely and look forward to the yearly event when the next one comes out. These characters feel like family, it's an easy read, and I just love them. Start at the beginning and you too will fall in love with the people of Cedar Cove, WA.

Must have if you like this series. Debbie has done it again. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

There's something about this series that warms my heart. The sense of true community and friendship, and especially forgiveness and understanding, in this tight-knit small town makes me wish I lived in such a place. Debbie Macomber's style of writing makes the book move along nice and smoothly. Having read the previous books in the series so long ago, and with so many characters to keep track of, I wondered if I'd be able to keep up and follow along with this new story, yet the author does an excellent job of refreshing old storylines without being repetitive. I loved this book and cannot wait to read 6 Ranier.

Debbie Macomber is a great story teller. She has created a fictional town and peopled it with characters the reader in me has come to regard as old and dear friends. Simply put, I love this soap-opera-like town and its residents. In this fifth installment, the residents of Cedar Cove learn more about love and redemption, overcoming tragedy, dealing with rejection, and moving forward with grit and determination. There are unexpected bonding sessions, life-threatening situations for favorite characters, and the angst of young love.

50 HARBOR STREET is a gossipy good book that gives us another peek into the lives of people we have grown to love in previous installments. The residents of 50 HARBOR STREET are Roy and Corrie McAfee. As a private investigator, Roy solves a case that could impact his life more than any other he has tackled. The mystery of who is sending him anonymous notes is solved and it reveals a stunning back story to this quiet and unassuming couple.

Roy and Corrie's daughter Linette has moved back to Cedar Cove but spurns her mother's matchmaking skills to go after a young doctor who shows no interest in her but lots in her best friend.

Ben Rhodes' son David comes to town oozing charm and good looks. Why is he making enemies so quickly?

Allison Cox has fallen for a "bad boy" who seems intent on self-destruction. Even the support of parents Zach and Rosie may not make lemonade out of this crate of lemons.

Ian and Cecilia as well as Maryellen and Jon each handle second pregnancies filled with difficult decisions while love is in the air for Rachel Pendergast, Cal Wilson, and that on-again off-again couple Grace and Cliff. You'll want to know what's new with Olivia and Jack, Bob and Peggy, Justine and Seth, and all the friends and neighbors who have become part of your fictional family.

As usual, an unsolved mystery at the end and some dangling threads set the stage for the next installment, 6 RAINIER DRIVE, at the home of Justine and Seth Gunderson.

Loved the book about the continuing life in the small town of which I am very familiar.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down! I wish we didn't have to wait another year for the next one! She is my favorite author, even though I read others in between. I have to say that I have enjoyed each and every book of hers that I have read; I have a large collection. I highly recommend her books. You will love all the characters and one named Gloria will surprise you. I don't want to give away the story, so I suggest you purchase the book and enjoy; you won't regret it!

i just love this book. the book reminds me of a soap oprea and i love soaps. the story unfolds right in front of you like you are there watching it happen. i love it.
