The Inn at Rose Harbor by the well known writer, Debbie Macomber is the first in a new series about the fictional town of Cedar Cove. Macomber is a favorite romance writer. This book is found on our shelves under the number F/MAC.

The Inn at Rose Harbor is a nice story. It is about people who have a lot of sad in their lives and their healing. There is no killing, violence or sex. Just a nice story. The book is recommended in this review as a little escape from the reader's life thereby receiving four stars. ( )

Based in the Pacific Northwest Town of Cedar Cove where a charming cast of characters finds love, forgiveness, and renewal behind the doors of the cozy Rose Harbor Inn.

Widowed when her military husband died in Afghanistan, Jo Marie needed a change. She opens a B&B, and soon discovers that it’s not only herself who needs healing from a past gone wrong. Her first two guests have very different problems that need closure. Talking with Jo Marie who lends a sympathies ear, they are able to make that leap into future happiness. Is there something special about Jo Marie that helps them come to terms with their problems? Or maybe the Inn itself holds some kind of unexplained magic. Whatever it is, this series promises to be a delightful one, full of friendship, hope, and maybe even love. ( )

I enjoyed this book and hopefully will continue with the series. I find the author repeats herself and times, but otherwise I like the story. I also liked the short story prequel about Jo Marie and Paul's meeting and romance. ( )
