16 Lighthouse Road (Cedar Cove, Book 1)

Dear Reader,

You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends, and neighbors. Come and hear their stories -- maybe even their secrets!

I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather . . . difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.

Here's an example: I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In Charlotte's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work -- and I agreed. So I rendered my judgement: Divorce Denied.

Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of!), everyone's talking.

Cedar Cove -- people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!

See you soon . . .

Olivia

I'm addicted!

There it is out in the open now! But what you ask am I addicted to? Why, Debbie Macomber books, Cedar Cove series to be exact. I can't get away from them -- They have me in a spell. I don't want to leave them either. There are so many people and so many different things going on in this small, quaint town.

A lot of people have reviewed this book, so I won't bore you with details. However, that being said, you will want to plow through this one, to start 204 Rosewood Lane, like I am going to do tonight. I mean I have to find out where is Dan? I have to find out about all our different townspeople and what is going on with them!

Although some people may find this series boring, I enjoy it. It doesn't have bad language, it has friendships, problems and everything all wrapped up in one. Thanks Ms. Macomber! This reader is in love!!!

Great read

This is a delightful story, very engaging. It doesn't take long to feel like these characters are your own acquaintences. Am looking forward to future books in the Cedar Cove series.

The book that made Cedar Cove a household name.

The book that launched the series in the quaint town of Cedar Cove. Let me first say that I've read every book in the series and if you like light, breezy reads, this is the series for you. The first book introduces the couple of Ian and Cecila, who after a child birth grow distant and mutually agree to divorce ... but not so fast. There is a judge named Olivia Lockheart who denies the application and believes grief is the reason for the divorce - and believes these two still love each other so they are forced to work out their differences. Ah, but what Deb Macomber novel would be complete without an affair? Enter Jack Griffin who sets his sights on the still married Cecila. So just sit back and enjoy the wonderful little town of Cedar Cove.
