16 Lighthouse Road

Rating:
Summary: Some subplots left hanging.
Review: Judge Lockhart had difficult
relationships of her own. Her daughter Justine wanted to marry a
man of which she didn't approve, her best friend Grace had been
abandoned by her husband, and Olivia's mother Charlotte enjoyed
attending her court if as a casual observer.
Debbie Macomber portrays an interesting slice of life
in a small coastal town through her characters, but not all of
the subplots are resolved right away. This can be disappointing
for a reader who enjoys a quick resolution. 16 Lighthouse Road is only the first of
a series which readers will enjoy.

Rating:
Summary: This is going to be a great series!
Review: Many reviewers have written about the content (characters) of the book so I won't delve too much into it for my review. I haven't read too many of Ms. Macomber's books but was interested in this first book in the Cedar Cove series. 16 LIGHTHOUSE ROAD introduces the reader to the town of Cedar Cove, Washington and some of its citizens. The mix of characters keeps the book interesting and although it has been mentioned as fragmented this type of writing is necessary to keep the storylines active. This is not just a romance. It does include some mystery that is not solved in this first book. As any series of books should be, 16 LIGHTHOUSE ROAD leaves you wanting more. This reviewer hopes that this is more than a trilogy. Thanks Debbie for a wonderful read.

Summary: Great, awesome
Review: My husband is in the Navy and we live in the area where the book is based. I recognized so many of the things that she talked about so I know how special and great they are, especially the views of the mountains that surround us. I hope that this can turn into a long running series and can't wait for the release of the next one, 204 Rosewood Lane!

Summary: Debut of Pacific Northwest series
Review: This book has a beautiful setting--that of the mythical small town of Cedar Cove, Washington, and an interesting cast of characters. The central character is Olivia, a family court judge whose marriage ended in divorce when one of their children died. Her mother Charlotte is constantly dropping in on her daughter's courtroom and gathering new recipes which she tries out on other people. The younger generation is represented by Justine, Olivia's daughter, who has her own ideas about love and marriage. A fourth important character is Olivia's friend Grace, whose husband Dan has a penchant for disappearing without warning. Lastly, is Cecilia who married a young Navy man rather impusively and now regrets it. Macomber moves her plot from one character to another, which keeps things interesting. Some of the plot lines come to a resolution in this book, but there's plenty of room for more action in future books in the series.

Summary: OK book
Review: This book was good. I did think the characters Cecilia and Ian were sort of weak. They did not come across strong at all. I got 311 Pelican Court from the library not knowing there was a second book and Pelican Court was #3. After reading the reviews on Rosewood Lane, I will not read it. I found out in the third book what happened to Dan. I am enjoying Pelican Court.

Summary: Is there a book 2 in the future I hope!
Review: This is a wonderful book read it in 3 days couldnt put it down! Left me wanting continuation this would make an excellent triology.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is an excellent book. I couldn't put it down. If you prefer reading a heartwarming story about a comfortable and cozy small town rather than a big city thriller, this book is for you. Macomber does a wonderful job of defining her characters and really brining their personalities to life. Debbie Macomber is quickly climbing to the ranks of Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts.
