Book Reviews of 204 Rosewood Lane (Cedar Cove, Bk 2)

I’m sure this is in the category of “women’s fiction,” if there is such a thing. I did not think I would like this book very much, nor the series. However, I found myself swept away by the first book in the series, 16 Lighthouse Road, and went straight to this book after finishing it! I never go from book to book in a series, but read something in between. Not this one! I was so interested and invested in the characters that I wanted to keep going. I’m not a typical romance reader, but while this series and book have romantic relationships, it doesn’t feel like a “romance” novel. It is very well written and quite compelling! I really have enjoyed getting to know the characters!

Loved this book. I started reading these out of order, but it doesn't really matter. You really get to know these characters and fall in love with them. Debbie Macomber has done an excellent job with this series.

2nd in the series.

Wonderful book abt several people in one town (Cedar Cove, Washington) just a ferry ride away from Seattle. All the characters have secrets, pasts, mysteries, troubles, etc. This series explores more of each of them in each book - esp. focusing on the residents of the title address.

"Macomber is known for honest portrayals of ordinary women...this cements her position as an icon of the genre." -Publishers Weekly

This book is excellent. Looking forward to reading the next one.

love it

Typical Macomber. Usual characters, pleasant if not exciting reading.

I love how the stories interconnect but also stand alone.I've read everything she's written except the knitting books...I don't knit...LOL

Loved this book... I read the whole series and had a hard time putting it down

I just discovered this series of books. I like the small town stories. These books are sweet and humorous. They are quick reads and make for a pleasant evening or two of reading. I have already searched and found three more in the series. If you enjoy cosies the Cedar Cove series is a good bet.

Cedar Cove Series-loved it-looking forward to more from Debbie!!

Never met a Macomber I didn't love

Fantastic story lines! I love all the interconnections and how even the prior stories come back

Loved this book! I couldn't put it down. Same core characters and she added more characters to her story. Even if its same stuff different day it was still engaging. Can wait to read #4

Another great book . This series is excellent. Waiting for the next book in this series to come out.

This is the second book in the cove series and while the story contuines with the same people from the first story the 16 lighthouse in this installment we are introduced to a few more of cedar coves residents. Again this offers all of real life drama and events and the more I read the more I feel I know the people of cedar cove!

And the series continues! Who can put them down?! I am onto #3 and can't wait to see what happens next. If you like a book you can't put down I'd start this series for sure.

I loved this book, can hardly wait to read the 3rd one in this series.

D.M. is one of my all time favorite authors and I love this Cedar Cove Series. Way to go Debbie!!! You really feel as though you are part of this town and you feel like these people are your friends. An easy read as all of D.M.'s books are. You'll be anxious to read book 3 at the end of this one. It had me wanting to know more.

The second book in the cedar cove series-I loved it!!!

Loved it. Well on my way to continuing the entire series.

Friends and family in the pleasant town of Cedar Cove. Grace Sherman's husband just disappeared one day with no explanation.

Great reading - Debbie has done a fantastic job with this series. I can hardly wait to read the next book!

another good one in this series

Great continuation of 16 Lighthouse. A fast & fun read!

Great book, part of the Cedar Cove series.

Another Debbie Maccomber entertaining tale of a group of interwoven lives of friends and family who live in a small town near Seattle. I like these books as bedtime reading, as they contain no violence or gore.

Grace's husband has disappeared. Find out what is going with Olivia and Jack. Also Justine impulsively gets married, Kelly has a baby. MaryEllen begins to see a new man.

A great read to just disapper into a story. What small towns are all about.

Book 2 from Cedar Cove and I just ordered the third. These are people that you care for and wish that you could live in their small town.

Book #2 in the Cedar Cove Series by Debbie Macomber. This builds on book one. Great Story

The second in the "Cedar Cove" books by Debbie Macomber. I love these books, can hardly wait until the next one comes out everytime.

This is a fantastic series.

This is the second book in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series. I find her books very readable and relaxing. She is very good at exploring human character in an entertaining way.

Excellent book. I can't put the books in this series down. The characters come to life. Fast and easy read.

Another veiwpoint from one of the residents of Cedar Cove. This time Grace finds that her husband has just disappeared and no one knows why. Come meet the residents of this close knit community and find out how they help each other thru their crises.

Second in Cedar Cove series. Enjoyed it.

This is the second book in the series by Macomber and it follows along and develops further the characters introduced in the first. They all reside in the fictional town of Cedar Cove and eventually you'll see how their stories all intertwine. It is surprising how quickly you get pulled into this book and these characters - especially if you enjoy 'small town' communities.

If youv'e been to Cedar Cove before we've probably met. You can usually find me either at home or at the Public Library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here. But my huband and I -well about six months ago he disappeared. Just ......disappeared Where's Dan Why did he go" Whos' he with? Will I ever find out? My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comgfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I'm continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone's been discussing weedings and babies lately. Justine -the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart-implusively for married a littel while ago. My own daughter Kelly recently had a baby. unfortunately she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. My older daughter Maryellen is more realistic. I think she's seeing a new man, but for some reason she won't tell me who it is. Then there is Jack who's been pursuing a romance with Olivia and his son Eric, and Eric's girlfrien, Shelly ( I think she's pregant) and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marraige is reputedly on the skids and ....Well just come on over and we'll talk

Excellent reading, I can hardly wait to read the next one

This is a great series!

This is the second book in the Cedar Cove series - it's rather like reading a soap opera! Great fun and interesting to follow the same characters from book to book.

Life goes on in the small coastal town of Cedar Cove, Wash., as real life does everywhere with small dramas and personal epiphanies in this sedate slice-of-life drama. The last time readers visited Cedar Cove in Macomber's 16 Lighthouse Road, family court judge Olivia Lockhart had refused to grant a divorce to a young couple trying to come to terms with the loss of their infant daughter. This time around, Olivia has problems of her own; her ex-husband wants her back, which makes her on-again, off-again relationship with newspaper editor Jack Griffin even rockier. Elsewhere around town, Olivia's daughter finally follows her heart and marries her high school sweetheart instead of the troublemaking older man she'd been dating; Zach and Rose Cox find their marriage falling apart when Rosie begins neglecting her family for volunteer work; and Maryellen Sherman, the manager of the local art gallery, becomes pregnant after a brief affair with an artist. Despite all these goings-on, the book's main focus is librarian Grace Sherman, whose husband of 35 years is still missing after disappearing six months earlier. The first few chapters, in which Macomber reacquaints readers with the town and its occupants, may feel sluggish to those familiar with the series, but this smooth yet simplistic offering will claim the reader's attention once the introductions are over.

This is the 5th book in the Cedar Cove Series. Grace's husband Dan disappeared. Her family of two daughters and her friends try to comfort her during this time. Grace it continually reminded that life can and does go on. But Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will she ever find out>

GREAT BOOK

Another enjoyable Macomber book.

The continuing saga of families living in Cedar Grove, Washington.

I love Debbie Macomber and this is a good easy read. The series was a great series.

Grace Sherman's story

I really enjoy Macomber's writing. This series is interesting because you can really see the characters develop thoughout the books. I believe this is #2 in the series.

EXCELLENT second book in a series of five, I couldn't put it down!

This book is about Grace. It is a wonderful story that keeps you reading more & more.

I enjoy this series a lot!

Another great read from Macomber.

Another book in the Cedar Cove series.
Excellant reading book.

This book followed the story line from the first one nicely. It added in some new characters and even a few that I think will be followed through in the next book. I enjoyed it.

This is the second book in the Cove series. You really should read 16 Lighthouse Road first to know what is going on!

Grace has lived in Cedar Grove her whole life. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. He husband just up and leaves one day. Grace's daughter doesn't want to accept that her dad won't be home to see his first grandchild. Then there is Grace's best friend Olivia, who is dating(?) Jack and Jack's son Eric and HIS girlfriend
Shelly...it would be easier to read the book....good reading.
