For a long time I wouldn’t read any books other than books published by Danielle Steel or Jackie Collins although I’ve been branching out. I would like to introduce you to a series of books called Cedar Cove which is published by Debbie Macomber.
I was introduced to the books through Hallmark Movies Now as they have a series based on these books. There is 3 seasons and I’ve watched them all but I would like to purchase them on DVD so David and I can re-watch the DVD’s because we don’t know what happened to the main character and I hope by purchasing the books from Half Price Books I will get the answers I need to finish the series.

Olivia Lockhart
Cedar Cove, Washington
Dear Reader, You don’t know me yet, but in a few hours that’s going to change.
You see, I’m inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends and neighbors. Come and hear their stories—maybe even their secrets!
I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather…difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there’s my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.
Here’s an example. I’m a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In my mother’s view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn’t tried hard enough to make their marriage work—and I actually agreed. So I rendered my judgment: Divorce Denied.
Well, you wouldn’t believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn’t mind seeing more of), everyone’s talking.
Cedar Cove—people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!
See you soon…

204 Rosewood Lane (Cedar Cove, Book 2)
My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comfort 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 weddings and babies lately. Justine – the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart – impulsively got married a little 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’s Jack, who’s been pursuing a romance with Olivia, and his son, Eric, and Eric’s girlfriend, Shelly (I think she’s pregnant), and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marriage is reputedly on the skids and…Well, just come on over and we’ll talk. –Grace Sherman, 204 Rosewood Lane, Cedar Cove, Washington.
311 Pelican Court (Cedar Cove, Book 3)
Return to #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove, where sometimes you have to take a leap of faith to find the love you deserve.
In the small town of Cedar Cove, everyone knows everybody else’s business—and they usually have an opinion about it.
Recently divorced, Zach and Rosie Cox were given an unusual custody deal by Judge Olivia Lockhart: instead of their children moving between homes, the kids keep the family home and the parents move in and out. Working to create stability in this new arrangement just might show them that they still belong together, if only they can learn to trust each other again.
Olivia herself is caught in a dilemma. Her ex-husband is trying to regain her affection, but maybe what she really wants is Jack Griffin to show her how he feels.
As always, Olivia will help and encourage her friends as they deal with new challenges and fresh starts, because this community is one that cares about each other, and they know hope and happiness can show up in unexpected places.

Dear Listener,
I love living in Cedar Cove, but things haven’t been the same since a man died in our B and B. Turns out his name was Max Russell, and Bob had known him briefly in Vietnam. We still don’t have any idea why he came here and – most important of all – who killed him. Because it now appears that he was poisoned. I sure hope somebody figures it out soon!
Not that we’re providing the only news in Cedar Cove these days. I heard that Jon Bowman and Maryellen Sherman are getting married. And Maryellen’s mom, Grace, has more than her share of interested men! The question is: Which one is she going to choose? Olivia – I guess it’s Olivia Griffin now – is back from her honeymoon, and her mother, Charlotte (who’s in her mid-70s at least), seems to have a man in her life, too. I’m not sure Olivia’s too pleased.
There’s lots of other gossip I could tell you. Come by for a cup of tea and one of my blueberry muffins and we’ll talk.

Dear Listener,
Considering that I’m married to Cedar Cove’s private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries. But I don’t – especially when they involve us! Roy and I have been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we “regret the past”. We don’t know what they mean.
On a more positive note, we’re both delighted that our daughter, Linette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society’s “Dog and Bachelor Auction”, where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding’s horse farm. Unfortunately, Linette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am.
Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that’s only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don’t you drop by for a coffee at my husband’s office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I’ll tell you everything that’s new!

Cedar Cove, Washington
Dear 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!

74 Seaside Avenue (Cedar Cove, Book 7)
Dear Reader,
I’m living a life I couldn’t even have dreamed of a few years ago.I’m married to Bobby Polgar now (you know, the famous chesschampion who just happens to be the man I love!). And we’vegot this beautiful house with a view of Puget Sound.
Lately something’s been worrying Bobby, though. When I asked,he said he was ‘protecting his queen’ and I got the oddestfeeling he wasn’t talking about chess but about me. He wouldn’tsay anything else.
Do you remember Get Nailed, the beauty salon in Cedar Cove?I still work there. I’ll tell you about my friend Rachel, who’s gottwo men interested in her (count ’em, two). And I’ll let you inon what I’ve heard about Linnette McAfee, who left town whenher love life fell apart. (That kind of trouble I know all about.)Come in soon for a manicure and a chat, okay?

8 Sandpiper Way (Cedar Cove, Book 8)
Cedar Cove, Washington
Dear Reader,
I’m pretty shocked by something I’ve just heard. Emily Flemming is afraid that her husband, Dave, might be having an affair. She apparently found an earring in his pocket—and it wasn’t hers. And she says he’s been coming home late and acting secretive. Not only that, some jewelry was recently stolen from an old woman, and Dave (in his capacity as pastor) used to visit her a lot….
This is all so hard to believe! Dave’s a good pastor and a good man. He and Emily appear to have the perfect life, with their children, Matthew and Mark, and their lovely home at 8 Sandpiper Way. But I guess things aren’t always as they seem. Reader, I’d love to hear what you think, and so does Emily.
I have some personal news, too—it’s turning out to be a challenging year. But there are also some interesting updates about our friends in Cedar Cove. Like Sheriff Troy Davis, to mention one. Guess what? His long-ago love, Faith Beckwith, has just moved back here!
Hope you’ll join Emily and me for a cup of tea soon.

92 Pacific Boulevard (A Cedar Cove Novel, 9)
Dear Reader,
I’m sorry to say that our good sheriff, Troy Davis, has suffered a disappointment in love. He was hoping to marry his onetime girlfriend, Faith Beckwith, who recently moved back to town. Well, the latest is that Faith ended the relationship last month, even though both of them are widowed and available. According to Troy, there were a few misunderstandings between them—some inadvertently caused, it seems, by his daughter, Megan.
Troy’s got plenty to keep him occupied, though—like the unidentified remains found in a cave outside town. And the break-ins at 204 Rosewood Lane, the house Faith just happens to be renting from Grace Harding….
All of that’s a distraction from what’s happening in my life. I’m going through chemo right now, and I’m so grateful for my husband, Jack, my family and my friends, who give me the strength and support I need to beat this. But beat it I will!
I’d suggest meeting at Troy’s place, 92 Pacific Boulevard, so we can all talk, but the Pancake Palace is probably a better choice if you want a decent cup of coffee!

1022 Evergreen Place (A Cedar Cove Novel 10)
Dear Reader,
Guess what? I’m falling in love! With Mack McAfee.
My baby daughter, Noelle, and I have been living next door to Mack since the spring. I’m still a little wary about our relationship, because I haven’t always made good decisions when it comes to men. My baby’s father, David Rhodes, is testament to that. I’m so worried he might sue for custody.
In the meantime, the World War II letters I found are a wonderful distraction. Both Mack and I are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.
Come by sometime for a glass of iced tea and I’ll show you the letters. Plus I’ll tell you the latest about Grace and Olivia, my brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who tied the knot about five minutes after they met!), and all our other mutual friends. Oh, and maybe Mack can join us….

1105 Yakima Street (Cedar Cove, 11)
Dear Reader,
You’ve probably heard that my wife has left me. Rachel’s pregnant, and she says she can’t handle the stress in our household anymore. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. Maybe it’s my fault. As a widower I spoiled her—
Jolene was reading over my shoulder just now and says that’s not true. She claims Rachel ruined everything. But that’s not true. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? I don’t even know where she is. She’s not with Teri Polgar or any of her other friends from the salon. The other question is…when will Jolene grow up and stop acting like such a brat?
Of course, I’m not the only one in town with problems. Linc Wyse’s father-in-law is trying to destroy his business. And you know Charlotte Rhodes? Seems she’s becoming forgetful, and the family’s worried about her and Ben. Lots of other stuff going on—but Rachel is better at keeping up with it than I am.
If you have any idea where my wife is, give me a call. Please.

1225 Christmas Tree Lane (Cedar Cove Series, 12)
But…someone recently left a basket filled with puppies on her doorstep, puppies she’s determined to place in good homes. That’s complication number one. And number two is that her daughters Bailey and Sophie have invited their dad, Beth’s ex-husband, Kent, to Cedar Cove for Christmas. The girls have visions of a mom-and-dad reunion dancing in their heads.
As always in life ― and in Cedar Cove ― there are surprises, too. More than one family’s going to have a puppy under the tree. More than one scheme will go awry. And more than one romance will have a happy ending!

That’s the night firefighter Mack McAfee began to fall for Mary Jo and the idea of a family—with her.
Across the road at 5-B Poppy Lane, the Shelton women are sharing relationship stories. Helen approves of the handsome soldier her granddaughter Ruth has brought home, but he reminds her so much of a man she once knew…Will Helen’s tales of romance lead Ruth to a happy-ever-after Christmas?
With mistletoe and festive miracles, there’s nothing like a Cedar Cove Christmas!
