I have never read anythiny of Debbie Macomber's before, which is rather astonishing because I am a nut for romance novels.

I must say I really enjoyed this book, the first story to me was more enjoyable than the latter, I found the second story in the book difficult to get into and found the scenario's somewhat ridiculous, I found it difficult to believe that a single mother would put her own 15 year old daughter through such nonsence, nevertheless I finished the book in a late evening.

The first story I thouroughly enjoyed, I found it captivating and could barely read fast enough, the story was utterly gripping, my heart pounded,my fingers itched and I sobbed my heart out at least twice.

Overall, a superb summer read.

I'm so surprised at the great reviews for this book! I have loved the Cedar Cove series, and others, but both of these were very weak stories. The first one was terrible, the second better, but I found myself skimming through it. The best part was the chuckle on the last page.
Certainly not her best.

I have read many of Debbie Macomber's books, and found these 2 stories extremely disappointing. They storylines were not extremely realistic. It felt to me she was rushed through these creations - my least favorite of all her books!

I love Debbie Macomber and could read her books all day. If meeting and marrying were only as simple as it is in her books! You either love her style or you don't. People fall in love quite quickly and end up married quickly and we hope forever. It always seems like someone is giving a little help to get people together. The first story is for an arranged marriaged which everyone hates in the beginning and then............ The second story is a teen age daughter who decides her divorced mother needs to date again and places an ad without mom knowing it. Does love bloom???????? Read and find out.

This book was so trite that I couldn't finish it. Although it deals with real problems -- a parent with Alzheimers, mother/teenage daughter friction -- it offers the reader nothing new. I skipped ahead to the end and was disgusted by the ridiculous plot.

I bought this book because I had read Macomber's "Shop on Blossum Street" and thought it was sweet, sappy fun.

Two very good stories in one book-you will want to keep reading til your done with both stories-another great book by Debbie Macomber

If you are bored on a rainy weekend this will give you a quick read and a few laughs. The biggest issue is that most women will probably have a difficult identifying with such overly-emotional heronines, but the novels are so short that Macomber didn't have much of a choice in that regard.

I really enjoyed The Shop on Blossom Street and its sequel, A Good Yarn. The development of the relationships among the four women in each of those books was quite satisfying.

So I was expecting the same caliber of writing in this work, but it was tasteless and pointless. The main characters are so silly, so childish, I can't imagine what the author or her editors were thinking. In the first story, First Comes Marriage, the entire novella is about a man and woman whose business partner (his) and grandfather (hers) play matchmaker. They kick and scream, and kick and scream some more. They hurl names at one another. Nonstop. It's straight out of junior high school.

Please don't waste your money. Debbie Macomber has much better works to offer.

Vert enjoyable book. I love anything by Debbie MaComber. Prompt shipment and good price.
Thanks,

I've read many of Debbie Macomber's books and "Married in Seattle" is another "can't put it down" book. Fun stories, plots with different twists, interesting characters, etc.
