I have largely loved following the Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. I distinctly remember reading that very first one and thinking that when I grew up I wanted to be Olivia. There are still story lines from many years ago that have stuck with me and characters I remember fondly. The series has given me many hours of joy and entertainment and it was with a heavy heart that I reviewed the last book, "1022 Evergreen Place" and gave it a 3-star rating (which I actually thought was pretty generous). Knowing that this is the penultimate novel in the series, I had very mixed emotions about reading this one. I was hoping many of the problems of the previous novel had been fixed, but fearful they weren't. To jump directly to the bottom line --- the old Debbie is back!

In this latest novel, the main story features the relationship between Rachel and Bruce. Rachel and Bruce are having marital difficulties stirred up by Bruce's daughter from his previous marriage. Jolene and Rachel got along very well and were close until Rachel married Bruce and then things deteriorated. By the beginning of this novel, things are so bad between them that Rachel decides she can no longer stay in the home. The remainder of the book follows them as they try to figure out if there is any way to make this marriage successful and how they are going to cope with Jolene. Ben and Charlotte are also a major story line along with Lync Wise and his wife.

What really bothered me in the previous book was the number of story lines (too many) and the amount of time devoted to back story (too much). I was very concerned that as the books continued to progress, that problem would only get worse and to my great relief, Ms. Macomber "fixed" this issue.

I have read the entire Cedar Cove series and this one really disappointed me, mostly because of the men in some of the newer love stories.

This book continues the stories, started in earlier books in the series, of the married but separate Rachel & Bruce (and Bruce's daughter Jolene), Chad & Gloria, Linc & Lori (married but Lori's parents object), and Will & Miranda. In addition many familiar characters from Cedar Cove also appear in the book, including Charlotte & Ben Rhodes, Olivia & Jack Griffin, and Grace & Cliff Harding. Although I enjoy revisiting familiar characters, having so many of them with settled marriages have significant stories left the author less time to devote to the unfinished romances from earlier books.

But my biggest issue with the book involved two of the men and one of the relationships. Bruce & Rachel fell in love and got married in an earlier book but his teen daughter created problems, especially after Rachel got pregnant, so Rachel moved out. In that earlier book, I thought Bruce was a bad father and worse husband as he ignored the conflict, and really hoped when their story resolved, he would shape up and be the man his wife and daughter need him to be. Unfortunately that didn't happen in this book. He basically stalks Rachel trying to get her to come home and doesn't pay much attention to what his daughter is doing or where she is going. Even a few pages before the end of the book, he doesn't insist his daughter give up the front seat of the car to his pregnant wife. And he continues a "family" outing with just his daughter when Rachel is too sick to continue, leaving her alone in the car. Jolene has a miraculous change of heart so Bruce doesn't ever have to man up and be a real father.
