Cedar Cove Series Volume 1: 16 Lighthouse Road / 204 Rosewood Lane / 311 Pelican Court / 44 Cranberry Point
Welcome to Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove! This is small-town life at its best--and its most interesting...
Meet some of the people living here:
16 Lighthouse Road. This is Olivia Lockhart's home. She's a family court judge known for her controversial judgments--like the divorce petition she denied. Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, editor of the local paper, everyone's talking about it! And then she and Jack start seeing each other outside of the courtroom....
204 Rosewood Lane is where Olivia's lifelong best friend, Grace Sherman, lives. Grace is the local librarian and her life has been uneventful--until now. Her husband disappeared 6 months ago. She and her daughters have no idea where Dan is, what happened to him, who he might be with. Will they ever find out?
311 Pelican Court is the residence belonging to the Cox family--Zach, Rosie and their kids. Zach and Rosie are divorced, but they have an unusual custody arrangement. It's another one of Judge Lockhart's controversial judgments: the kids get to stay in the house while Zach and Rosie go back and forth!
44 Cranberry Point is a B and B owned by Bob and Peggy Beldon; it's also their home. They've had a shocking incident recently--a man died while he was staying there! They don't know why he came to Cedar Cove, who killed him or why....
These are the first four stories set in Cedar Cove, Washington. Read the books and watch the Hallmark Channel original series based on them. This is your chance to get introduced to the town and the people. Once you've visited, you'll definitely come back!

16 Lighthouse Road - There are several plot lines going on. The book is ostensibly about Olivia, a judge aged 52, who has been divorced for 16 years. However, the first case in the book that she presides over ends with a decision that prevents a young couple from divorcing until they get their prenup rescinded, something Judge Olivia won't do. Her decision makes the news and the newspaper editor Jack comes into Olivia's life. The story about Cecilia and Ian, who did not get the divorce they were expecting, pretty much takes the story away from Olivia and Jack. And then there is Olivia's daughter Justine and her brother's best friend from childhood Seth. While there is no resolution to the romance between Olivia and Jack, Cecilia and Ian make great strides towards reconciliation and Justine and Seth find their way to each other. There is so much going on with so many differect characters that you feel like you have moved to Cedar Cove and are taking part in its everyday life.
204 Rosewood Lane - Olivia's best friend Grace whose husband of 35 years disappeared without trace in the previous book is trying to get on with her life. Cliff Harding is patiently waiting in the wings, hoping she will find her feet soon. Grace's children Maryellen and Kelly come more into the story as well. Jack and Olivia are still getting involved. Olivia makes another controversial decision in the divorce of Zach and Rosie Cox, having the children stay at their house full time while the divorced couple are the ones who have to move in and out, sharing custody. There are so many relationships in this book at different stages that it makes your mind whirl.
311 Pelican Court - Zach and Rosie are trying to deal with the children staying home and the parents moving out on a prearranged schedule. They are no longer married but are having difficulty dealing with the ups and downs of their children's lives. Jack and Olivia and Grace and Cliff are having some difficulties as well, although not yet married. Cecilia and Ian are mentioned from time to time. Maryellen and Jon play a large role plus there is the host of other characters, including the Beldens and the McAfees.
44 Cranberry Point - The Beldons own this B & B and are having to make changes by not accepting any guests until the mysteries surrounding Max and Dan's deaths, two of Bob Beldon's Army buddies, have been thoroughly investigated. Roy McAfee, a private investigator, is delving into the mystery along with the local sheriff. All the characters introduced in the series so far make an appearance in large or small parts, but the reader gets the impressions that nothing in Cedar Cove is ever finished. It is a roller coaster ride of epic proportions, especially reading these books back to back.

Excellent Easy Read
I like the way the author develops the characters and gives the reader a real emotional feeling about each one of them. The only thing I thought on the negative side was that in such a small town in Cedar Cove and as popular as the characters were, one would think that they would know the first names of people in the restaurants they frequented all the time and so forth.This wasn’t bad in my opinion just unusual.I would actually recommend this book to people who are having trouble in their marriage. Might Help build stronger character and better ethics and morals.

Really enjoying these books a lot. The storylines keep me very entertained and coming back for more throughout the first 4 books. Sometimes relationships tend to go on forever before the characters make any decisions about commitment, but certainly not always. The development of the characters in general isn’t great. I don’t feel like I really know or like anyone that well… Some of the motivations are not entirely explained, so it’s not clear why people do what they do…

Reading Excellence
Debbie Macomber has done it again. I purchased the first four Cedar Cove books in a aet. Even though I watched the Hallmark series a few years ago, I couldn't bout this series down..her characters are always so true to life, just like people you would like to have for friends. She portrays the ups and downs of her characters lives in such a way that the reader can feel their emotion. Can't wait to get the next book!

Volumne of 4 Books
Since I had seen some of the TV series, at first it was hard to get into the books, but once I got past what I had seen I enjoyed the stories. Sometimes I think the authoritarians information to often, not giving the reader credit to remember who the characters are, beyond that, I am enjoying reading the series of books.

I enjoyed rereading these books by Debbie Macomber. The nice thing about having four books in one volume is not having to wait to get the next book in the series. The format of each book seems to highlight the stories of different people in the small town. I would recommend these books to anyone who wants to enjoy a safe, quick read.

Great read
Couldn't put it down. I really can't wait to start the next book series. I wish the tv show had lasted longer. That was a good show.
