Description

6 Rainier Drive Cedar Cove, WashingtonDear Reader,As you may have heard, we've recently had quite a shock. My husband, Seth, and I lost our business, The Lighthouse restaurant—to arson. The investigation continues. The prime suspect is a young ex-employee named Anson Butler, who disappeared right after the fire.So Seth and I are trying to sort out our lives. (And let me tell you, this kind of crisis is not good for a marriage.) In the meantime, life goes on for everyone else in Cedar Cove—with marriages, births, reunions and even the occasional scandal. One of the most interesting pieces of news is that Cal, who works on Cliff Harding's ranch, is now rescuing wild mustangs from Wyoming.I have to run—I'm meeting an old friend, Warren Saget, for lunch. Let's talk soon, and I'll fill you in on everything that's happening in town!Justine

Like Debbie Macomber, Cathie Linz writes charming romantic comedies featuring humor and satisfying, if more sensual, romance. Linz also shares Macomber's interest in the military drawing on the Navy for settings and characters while Linz takes many of her heroes from the Marine Corps. -- Krista Biggs
Like Debbie Macomber, Emilie Richards writes heartwarming, emotion-filled stories of romantic love, family relations, and the friendship of women. -- Shelley Mosley
Betty Neels and Debbie Macomber have a knack for heartwarming contemporary romances that avoid explicit sexuality yet include plenty of smoldering passion. Neels favors a plot-driven tale while Macomber's work is character-driven, featuring complicated women of all ages who are doing their best to bring joy to their lives. -- Mike Nilsson
Though Francis Ray's work tends to have more explicit faith elements than Debbie Macomber's gentle writing, both are known for their heartwarming contemporary romances frequently starring a variety of likeable and relatable women. -- Stephen Ashley
Both Jan Karon and Debbie Macomber write books with strong inspirational messages. In similar small-town settings, each author explores her characters' lives with humor and grace and offers emotionally satisfying solutions as well as domestic pleasures and endearing characters. -- Krista Biggs
Though Jean Meltzer's work is humor-forward and Debbie Macomber's is a bit gentler, both authors write charming, heartwarming contemporary romances that will appeal to readers who enjoy following likeable people as they fall for one another. -- Stephen Ashley
Debbie Macomber fans may appreciate the sweet and uplifting tales of Richard Paul Evans, and vice versa. Both authors have similar characters -- nice people who have suffered setbacks or tragedies -- as well as familiar themes: redemption, relationships, and the power of love. -- Krista Biggs
Readers looking for heartwarming contemporary romances that move at a leisurely pace as they take time to explore the inner lives of relatable, richly drawn characters should explore the works of both Debbie Macomber and Sonya Lalli. Lalli's work tends to be a bit funnier. -- Stephen Ashley

Booklist Review

Cedar Cove has been a busy place since Macomber's last installment, 50 Harbor Street0 (2005). Justine and Seth's restaurant has burned down, thanks to arsonists, and their marriage is threatened. Young Allison's boyfriend, Anson, is a person of interest in the arson case and runs away. Allison is the only one who believes he did not set the fire, but his continued absence damns him in the eyes of the town. These old friends, as well as the rest of the familiar population of Cedar Cove, have new stories to tell. There's hair-stylist Teri's most recent love interest, for example, chess-champion Bobby Polgar. Though she has no knowledge of or interest in chess, once she sees him on TV, she gives in to a sudden urge to cut his hair. Teri has no idea how her life is going to change. Readers new to Macomber's considerable narrative charms will have no problem picking up the story, while loyal fans are in for a treat. --Maria Hatton Copyright 2006 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

The aftermath of a fire at the Lighthouse restaurant and the search for an arsonist spark the sixth volume of smalltown drama set in Macomber's fictional Washington town of Cedar Cove (after 50 Harbor Street). Justine and Seth Gunderson, the owners of the Lighthouse, are divided by their reactions to the tragedy; Seth is obsessed with rebuilding as quickly as possible, while Justine wants to take advantage of their newly found free time. Meanwhile, Macomber follows numerous loosely connected story lines involving characters from previous volumes: an impulsive act of generosity by hairdresser Teri Miller triggers romance with a world renowned chess player; physician's assistant Lynnette McAfee encounters trouble in her relationship with shy horse trainer Cal Washburn; father-to-be Jon Bowman struggles with anger over his parents' legacy of betrayal; and several navy families face leaving their hometown. Fans of the series will snap this one up, but new readers may struggle to sort out the characters and relationships (Macomber includes a two-page list of residents to help). Those who enjoy good-spirited, gossipy writing will be hooked. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
