Silver Linings

 In Debbie Macomber's Silver Linings, the 4th installment in the Cedar Cove Rose Harbor contemporary romance series, this compelling and beautifully written contemporary romance will move you to tears. For Jo Marie Rose, the innkeeper of Rose Harbor Inn in Cedar Cove, she's been a young widow and mourned the loss of her husband Paul. When she purchased the inn and hired Mark Taylor, her handyman to build the gazebo, they had a working relationship and friendship. Within time, before the project was done, Mark put his house on sale and left without saying goodbye to Jo Marie. He must be hiding something from her as Jo Marie begins to experience life and seeing her friends again. For Kellie "Coco" Crenshaw and Katie Gilroy, two best friends who returned to Cedar Cove to seek out the boys who hurt them the most.  Coco wanted to tell Ryan how he felt about how he treated her in the past, and Kellie wanted to explain why she broke off her relationship with James Harper. All three women were seeking answers to those questions and discover that new love could blossom for them to give them a second chance behind a cloud's silver lining with a happy ending.

 

This was a beautiful contemporary romance that tugs the heart and deals with second chances to find and rediscover love. I instantly cared for Jo Marie on how she handled Mark's aloofness and why he had to leave her for his own reasons. I loved how she cared for her clients and how she managed to break out from the shell from grieving her husband's love and to seek out friends and fun. I cared for both Katie and Coco, who were both sought out for a mission and accomplished it with a new ray of sunlight to lead their way of finding true happiness in love. I also loved how their lives were intertwined with one another. The Cedar Cove setting was mesmerizing and beautiful and captivating for a small town in Northern Washington. The theme of the story is you can't change the past, but you can pave the way for the future.

If you love heartfelt and emotional-packed contemporary romances with heart-stopping drama, plenty of non-stop action, lots of love and tearjerking moments, Silver Linings is the one for you.
