Perhaps I enjoyed this book more than the other reviewer as I had already read all the other Blossom Street books and was familiar with the characters and their individual stories. While some of Rooster and Lauren's story might seem far-fetched, this is not supposed to be drama, but light-hearted romance, and I found it great fun and enchanting. I look forward to following up on their marriage in later books as I enjoyed their story and didn't want it to end!
Quick, fun summer read!

I enjoyed this book! I'm a fan of the Blossom Street series, and I think this story is a great edition to the series. The story of Rooster and Lauren is really sweet. It shows that "opposites can attract" sometimes.

Bland and predictable, this book reads like a G rated soap opera. Focusing on the contrived trials and tribulations of the denizens of a homey Seattle neighborhood, the story holds no surprises. The mismatched couple breaks up over a fairly ridiculous misunderstanding; the jilted homemaker turned businesswoman loves her second husband while fending off her philandering ex and dealing with her petulant daughter and devoted son. It has a dated feel where unplanned pregnancies and quickie weddings abound. The center of social activity is a floundering yarn shop which is the beneficiary of a mysterious knitting campaign. The owner must deal with her traumatized adopted daughter and infirm mother. Of course, it all ends happily ever after with sweetness and light.
I just finished an ARC I received for free from Goodreads First Reads. This is the first Blossom Street book I read, but not the first Debbie Macomber. I thoroughly enjoyed the Cedar Cove series, and expected this one to be a winner as well. As with the CC books, other characters from previous books stop on by and weave their way in and out of the story, so it isn't necessary to read the other Blossom Street books before this one. I enjoyed this book as I have her others, though Lauren and Rooster's story seemed far-fetched at times. The characters were enjoyable and this was a quick yet sweet read. I have no doubt I'll be reading the other Blossom Street books very soon.
