92 Pacific Boulevard (A Cedar Cove Novel, 9)

I love visiting Macomber's world and this book allowed me yet another glimpse.

I liked everything. We(my sister and I just recently started to read her books and have a whole shelf full of her books. Which will be going to the library for others too read too.

I love this series for the most part and this was the last one that I needed to read.You meet so many characters. But you have to read in order (mostly) to understandwhat is going on. In this one, I wanted to see what happened between Sheriff Troyand Faith and we also catch up with everyone else. The only problem that I saw thatwish had been resolved earlier was the problem with Jolene. Still a good book and series.Must read.

This continues the ongoing saga of a lot of interesting characters in Cedar Cove..primarily sheriff Troy Davis. On one hand his daughter is expecting..that is good news..but she is resistant to his seeing anyone since her mother has recently died after a long illness. He had reacquainted himself with his old high school sweetheart, but this romance has a very hard time getting off the ground due to his reluctance to tell his daughter about Faith, his old girlfriend. This story line can get very frustrating since it seems that two grown people could certainly get together without interference from the younger generation but it is an ongoing theme that takes a long time to resolve. The local judge, Olivia, has discovered that she has cancer and the community rallies around her. Several other stories have a thread here which really has the reader waiting for the next installment..all in all a good story that leaves one ready for more.

I can say with complete honesty that Debbie Macomber's format is far more palatable to me than my grandmother's soaps. My grandmother watched her soaps every day without fail. The lives of the people on screen were more real to her than those of us around her at times. I, however, found myself uncomfortable and embarrassed by the constant drama and emotion conveyed on the screen. In this series, I am allowed to eavesdrop on conversations and like The Shadow, observe the lives of several people as they progress through the years without all the fuss and drama - much better.Debbie has created some interesting characters facing challenges in their lives. She takes time to share the perspectives of those who take the main stage for this installment and I did have a sense of what makes these people tick. While at times I found that these characters all seem too good to be true, I also appreciated the very strong modeling of appropriate adult behavior: caring and loving treatment of others, reasonable and honest discussion, and accepting responsibility for one's actions.I rate this book about 3.5. I will probably pick up the next in the series next year.

So, this was a very light hearted book lik all that I've read from Debbie Macomber. I love reading her books because I know there's going to be a resolution to the big story but then there's always a cliff hanger at the end to leave me wanting another book in the end. She is a great writer and I've looked into Charlotte's cookbook, too, but it's a bit pricy for a cookbook when I already have so many as it is. Anyway, if you've read any of the Cedar Cove Series I would recommend you not stop now! Read and enjoy!

I've read a lot of Debbie Macomber's books and this was a continuation of that relationship: lots of fun!

This is a fast moving story. You have to really pay attention to keep up with who is wooing who. I have read books #7,8 and 9 in thepast 24 hours. I am trying not to order and start reading book #10. I read 14 books that I receive in the mail every month, and then Igo and order sometimes, 4 or more on my kindle sometimes. I got hooked on reading in 1997 when I started taking care of my 80year old brother who started with dementia, I was 59,at that time. Reading keeps my mindset plus playing scramble.

These are not the kind of books I normally read, but they are strangely addictive. They are comforting and easy to read, although sometimes I have to stop because I feel as though I've overdosed on sugar. Having said that, I have read the whole series of 12, since stumbling across the 'Cedar Cove' series on TV at an unearthly hour - sadly they only ran 2 seasons on TV in the UK. And the TV version, although letting the characters keep their names, has completely changed most of the story lines, even down to one person marrying somebody completely different from whom she married in the book series, and others meeting their end in a different way or even turning up alive and well and living with another woman! But that's TV for you.The thing that bugs me about this particular book is that it feels as if there is a huge chunk missing. Debbie Macomber is usuallymeticulous in briefly reprising characters' stories so that anybody picking up a book out of sequence has some idea where a character fits in, but here we have a whole plotline which seems to have occurred 'off-stage' when nobody was looking, and the characters (Mack and Mary Jo) just fall into the story fully formed, leaving you thinking hey, wait a minute, when did that happen and why didn't we hear about it? It's a shame because these are engaging characters, whose present/future story arc occupies quite a large part of this particular book, yet their backstory is completely missing, apart from a brief mention which leaves you wanting to know the details of how they came to be where they are.

I'm reading this book as part of the series and am finding it hard to put down. As usual the author picks up the story quickly and keeps it moving along. Even if you read this book standalone, the storyline compels you to keep reading. I love the way she weaves in and out of the lives of Cedar Cove, keeping the reader interested.

I have been reading the Cedar Cove books since finding this author while on holiday in Canada.The books follow the life and trials of many people who live in Cedar Cove and are captivating. Unfortunately I seem to have got out of sequence and it would be great if Amazon had a numerical list of the titles.A great read but do try and get the previous titles as the story will make more sense.

VERY GOOD QUALITY 2ND HANDBOOK. ALWAYS GO FOR THE ONES THAT SAY VERY GOOD QUALITY MAINLY AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED

I read this out of order but it didn't soil the enjoyment. Just loving this series more and more with each book
