Very good book, but not as compelling to me as the first two. Did not seem to flow as smoothly as the previous additions. Still very good story.

"Lack of Communication. That is the running theme in this 3rd installment of the Cedar Cove series. Rosie and Zack are the main characters this time. They have decided to divorce and the ordeal is quickly coming to a head with their children. Maryellen and Jon have decided what is in the best interest of their new born daughter; and Olivia and Jack have finally come to an agreement.
More is revealed in the mysterious death at the Beldon's bed and breakfast with the divulging of an incident that Bob witnessed during his Vietnam years. Will this lead to the identification of the mysterious stranger? Are others still in danger? What is the full story?
I enjoy this series, revisiting storylines and characters, just wish I hadn't waited so long in between books, forgot who a couple of people were, but Macomber is good at refreshing your memory.

Again Debbie Macomber makes the town of Cedar Cove come alive with all her characters. You just want to join them, go to the riverfront, or have a cup of tea. Maybe stop in to see the local PI. Good summer reading.

Loved this book! You can read them in order, or not... either way, a great read that you feel you become part of this wonderful town and characters...

This marks the last Cedar Cove book I am going to read. I loved the first one and then they progressively got worse. Slowly all the characters are regressing and turning into two year olds. I do mean all everyone. Even my favorite characters are a disapointment. It was a frustrating book and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you want to read about people who are really selfish, drama queens, and likes to play a lot of head games with each other.

I really love the books in this series. Once I start I can't put them down. Great reads.

I went straight from book one to book two, and then to this one, book three. I thought by now I would be burnt out on reading this series, but NO! I am just as eager to read book 4 as I was the second and third! I don't want to give away any of the plot, but it is a satisfying read that kept me wanting more. Hard to put down!

Another great in the Cedar Cove series. This one is about Rosie & the unusual divorce arrangement.
Helpful Score: 1
This is the 3rd book in the series. I realized half way through that I was still not remembering who was who, and that's not a good thing in a series. The relationships were dragging on and on, and it was pretty boring. As a result, I didn't finish, and will not read anymore of this series. Pretty disappointed!
Love the series. The judge has given another strange decision. Will it work or not.
EXCELLENT third book in a series of five, I couldn't put it down!
This is a great series. Macomber's writing is a pretty quick read, but the characters really develop throughout the series. I think this one is #3.
This books is the third book in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Grove Series. This book takes the reader on another visit to this town with a dash of mystery revolving around the death of a stranger found in the local bed-and-breakfast. Excellent addition to this series!
The third installment in Macomber's absorbing Cedar Cove series (following 204 Rosewood Lane [BKL S 15 02]) focuses on Rosie and Zach Cox, who have divorced after 17 years of marriage. They are shocked when Judge Olivia Lockhart makes another of her controversial rulings, this time granting their kids the house and ordering Rosie and Zach to make alternating visits. As they struggle with their tiring schedule and deal with their 15-year-old daughter Allison's growing resentment and subsequent problems, they realize that they still care for each other. Then, when Allison and her 9-year-old brother, plot to get their parents back together Rosie and Zach contemplate a reunion but know that learning to trust each other again will take some time. Meanwhile, Olivia is dealing with a love triangle; widowed librarian Grace explores the world of dating via the Internet; and Grace's daughter, Maryellen, struggles with being a first-time mom. Excellent characterization will keep readers anticipating the next visit to Cedar Cove.
This series just just gets better and better! It continues with our favorite characters in Cedar Cove plus some others and there's lots of mystery and intrigue. Love how the characters develop and grow.
This is an excellent, relaxing read. I have several more books by this author, including some from this series, currently listed.
AWESOME book! Can't wait to get the next book in the sequence. Couldn't put the book down!
The third book in an on-going series about a small town and the characters that inhabit it.
A light, pleasant read about a series of friendships/relationships in a small town.
Third book in the Cedar Cove series. By this point, I feel like the well developed characters are my friends.
This series about Cedar Cove is great fun - sort of like following a good soap opera - because the same characters carry over from 1 book to the next!
This book resembles the t.v. show "Desperate Housewives" It is a quick read, & won't cause nightmares!
Engrossing tale in the "Cedar Cove" series. Precedes her "44 Cranberry Point" novel. Better to read this one first and then cranberry point.
The whole series is good... had to get them all and read them before I read the other books I have
Really nice book and great story lines!
I love this series of books. This is the 3rd. Light reading.
Anything Debbie McComber is good! Love this author
Lovely reading on a summer day. This series just makes your heart smile!
Story set in Cedar Cove, Washington.
Wonderful book,

This is a great series I recommend to all Romance lovers!!
I don't find these books to have a huge narrative momentum--they are not exactly edge-of-the-seaters. The characters seem just a bit wooden, and the dialog isn't compelling or even super realistic.
BUT. There is something so sweet, peaceful, and relaxing about reading this series. You get familiar with the characters, and there are questions left open from one book to the next that keep you interested in what might happen next time. I find I keep reading them from one book to the next, and even look forward to them, and enjoy being in the middle of one. So I guess I'll stick with the series, and recommend it to the group.

I just love this series. I am enjoying reading them in order and I really like the way you get to know the characters and hear more about them in each book. New characters are added as well to add to the intrigue. A hard to put down series!
Not as fast of read as the first two but to me just as good, the plot thickens and eveyone seems to be connceted to eachother in some way, I love the small time life and feel of this book, it's another great read!
Love all these books. SO easy to read
I really enjoyed the second book in this series. Quick, easy read, but I really liked and cared about the characters. Can't wait to read the rest!
Excellent series.
This is such a "feel good" gentle series. I love each and every one.
I loved the book. The only thing I was was different was Grace. I wish she would have stayed with Cliff. Maybe in the next book. I love the MaryEllen part and Jon. I am glad they are finally together. Olivia is happily married now. Hopefully Stan will stay out of the way. And Rosie and her hubby are back together and getting married again. Hopefully they stay together this time. All ended good in Pelican Court.
I absolutely love this series. I literally can not book these books down.
This is a great book. Have read in sequence and not tired of them.
I'll be reading number 4 next, and can hardly wait.

3rd book in the Cedar Cove series - will make you want more!!
Great cozy read. In this one, the folks in the small town of Cedar Cove are trying to find out who a man is who died at a local bed-and-breakfast and why he arrived in the middle of the night!
I love this book as usual - it is better than the one before. You will not be disappointed.
AFter I read this book i was hooked on the Cedar Cove Community and their lives. Wonderful series and this book made it even better. I read it and then let my grandma and mom borrow it. They seemed to enjoy it as well.
I enjoyed reading about the different families and how they workded thier problems out. I love reading Debbie Macombers books and if anyone knows if their is another book about cedar cove let me know.
Third in the cedar cove series, can't wait for the next one and can't put these down, they are great.
This book is about all the friends in Cedar Grove. But especially about a man named Zach and his wife and their unusual divorce degree. It is funny but good as they learn to live a whole new life.
Book Three in the Cedar Cove series. Will Olivia's plot to get Zack and Rosie back together work?
#3 in the Cedar Cove series. This one is about Rosie Cox. Here's what Rosie says:
One thing about Cedar Cove-people sure are interested in what other people are doing. Take me, for instance. Everybody in this town knows that my husband Zach, and I recently got a divorce. Everybody also knows that Judge Olivia Lockhart decreed a pretty unusual custody arrangment. It won't be the kids moving between my place and Zach's. We're the ones who'll be going back and forth.
Olivia isn't immune to gossip herself.Will she stay with Jack, the guy who owns our local paper, or will she get back with her ex? Inquiring minds want to know!
But the really big gossip has to do with the dead guy-the man who died at a local bed-and-breakfast. Who is he and why did he show up there in the middle of the night? Roy McAfee, our local private investigator, is absolutely determined to find out. I hope he does-and then I'll let you know! See you soon...

I LOVE THIS SERIES! This book is a great continuation...
Continues the story of the lives of Cedar Cove. I love these stories.
Book #3 in the Cedar Cove Series by Debbie Macomber. Continues where book #2 left off. Must read them all!
Third book in the Cedar Cove series. A fantastic book. You must read all of them.
This is the 3rd book in the Cedar Cove series and I loved reading the series.
Read this one straight from reading 204 Rosewood Lane. I was afraid I would get bored but nope still had the interconnections with good explanations to prior story lines, I in case you forgot or read out of order. Cannot wait to read the rest and see if this fantastic warm trend continues

This is great. I love this series. There are 7 in all and once you start you are so involved in the characters lives that you want to keep reading. You don't want to put this one and the rest of them down.
Second of an ongoing series about the town of Cedar Cove with twists and turns that keep you guessing. I like this series.
A good read.
I really like all the Cedar Cove series.
Third in the series and it just keeps getting better!
If you are a fan of Debbie Macomber you will not be disappointed. Another great read. Could not put it down once I started reading it. Many "old" friends appear in this book. Now I have to get the next one as she does hold ones attention.
