Book Description

Series: Cedar Cove Series | Publication Date: August 25, 2009

92 Pacific Boulevard Cedar Cove, Washington Dear Listener: I’m not much of a letter-writer. As the sheriff here, I’m used to writing incident reports, not chatty letters. But my daughter, Megan -- who’ll be making me a grandfather soon -- told me I had to do this. So here goes. I’ll tell you straight out that I’d hoped to marry Faith Beckwith (my one-time high school girlfriend) but she ended the relationship last month, even though we’re both widowed and available. There were a few misunderstandings between us, some of them inadvertently caused by Megan. However, I’ve got plenty to keep me occupied, like the unidentified remains found in a cave outside town. And the fact that my friend, Judge Olivia Griffin, is fighting cancer. And the break-ins at 204 Rosewood Lane -- the house Faith happens to be renting from Grace Harding… If you want to hear more, come on over to my place or to the sheriff’s office -- if you can stand the stale coffee! Troy Davis “The books in Macomber’s contemporary Cedar Cove series are irresistibly delicious and addictive.” – Publishers Weekly

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and comforting, August 30, 2009

This review is from: 92 Pacific Boulevard (Cedar Cove Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

Picking up a book from the Cedar Cove series is like catching up with old friends that you haven't seen in a while. This particular installment is focused on Sheriff Troy Davis and his on-again/off-again relationship with Faith (his high school sweetheart). We also get to visit with Olivia and Charlotte, find out how Teri is doing with the babies and what is new with James and Christie to name just a few. Not all of the characters from previous books are included, but that makes sense since there are so many that some are just mentioned in passing.

As usual, the read is quick and delightful with the regret being we have to wait until September of 2010 for the next installment ! This series along the Blossom Street series are two of my favorites when looking for warm, comforting books that make you feel better about the world. While not the same as Jan Karon's Mitford series or Philip Gulley's Harmony series, they share some similarities and I always look(ed) forward to what was coming next. My one mistake was that I had assumed the book "A Cedar Cove Christmas" published in October of 2008 was more of a stand-alone book rather than being the continuing story. I obviously missed some things that happened by not reading it and wish I would have. I was saving it for this coming holiday season and I'm looking forward to finding out all the details!

If you haven't read these, the best bet would be to go back to the beginning "16 Lighthouse Road" and go along in order. While enjoyable to just pick this one up and the author does a great job of giving you the information you need to know who people are -- it would be better to have all the history if possible.

A quick warning: One of the older reviews (dated August 27) is very brief but contains a major spoiler with no warning. There is one "mystery" that is introduced at the beginning of the book and the answer isn't revealed until close to the end. This review tells you the answer. It might be best to read that review after you have completed the book yourself.

This review is from: 92 Pacific Boulevard (Cedar Cove Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

Each new Cedar Cove book is like going home to a warm and special place. Debbie Macomber has created the most delightful town based on her own hometown of Port Orchard, Washington. She has peopled it was warm, kind-hearted characters who truly care about each other. She also adds a few aching hearts, errant adult children, and a mystery or two. The result is a comforting book that just makes you feel good about life.

This story focuses on Troy Davis, the town sheriff who lives at 92 Pacific Boulevard. Readers have been following his on-again, off-again relationship with Faith and a resolution is near. Olivia, Grace, and Charlotte, the mainstays of Cedar Cove, are in full force. Olivia is still dealing with her cancer and we see quite clearly the friendship bond between her and Grace as well as how Charlotte deals with her daughter's illness. We also catch up with Terri Polgar who is pregnant with triplets, her sister Christie, Rachel in her new marriage to Bruce and the problems they are having with his daughter Jolene, Gloria Ashton's romance with the handsome clinic doctor, Linc's unusual romance with new character Lori, and bad boy Will Jefferson's courtship of artist Shirley Bliss. A good deal of this book focuses on Mary Jo Wyse from A Cedar Cove Christmas who has caught the attention of Mack McAfee. These two are sharing a duplex at 1022 Evergreen Place, the location for the next installment in the series. A cliff-hanger piques curiosity for this next book which will apparently look back at a World War II romance.

For a warm and comforting read, one that gives you a little mystery, a little romance, and a whole lot of friendship, you need look no further than this wonderful series about Cedar Cove.
