Sweet Tomorrows

Sweet Tomorrows by Debbie Macomber

Nine months ago, Mark Taylor abruptly left Cedar Cove on a perilous mission to right a wrong from his past. Though Mark finally confessed his love for her, innkeeper Jo Marie Rose is unsure if he’s ever coming back. The Rose Harbor Inn barely seems the same without Mark, but Jo Marie can’t bear to lose herself in grief once more. Determined to move forward, she begins dating again, and finds companionship when she takes on a boarder who is starting a new chapter herself.

Recovering from a twice-broken heart, Emily Gaffney, a young teacher, is staying at the inn while she looks for a home of her own. Having given up on marriage, Emily dreams of adopting children someday. She has her eye on one house in particular—with room for kids. Although Emily’s inquiries about the house are rudely rebuffed, her rocky start with the owner eventually blossoms into something resembling friendship. But when the relationship verges on something more, Emily will have to rethink what she truly wants and the chances she’s willing to take.

The inn seems to be working its magic again—Emily opening herself up to love, Jo Marie moving on—until Jo Marie receives shocking news.**

Thanks to Ballentine books and Netgalley for the book in exchange for a honest review!

We're back in Cedar Cove and in Jo Marie's inn. I love it in Cedar Cove, its calm and beautiful. Sure I've never physically been there, but I've been there dozens of times in Debbie Macombers books. New people staying at the inn and we've got to find out what happens with Mark and Jo Marie. This time we just meet one boarder at the inn, Emily. We actually met Emily in Silver Linings. She was engaged to James, and there for his high school reunion. His high school sweetheart was also there and there were still sparks. Emily broke it off with James, she sent him into the arms of Katie and decided then that she wouldn't fall in love again. She loved Cedar Cove though so she applied for a job there and got it. While looking for a house she meets Nick. He's gruff and short but he has his reasons.

Mark has been gone for nearly a year at this point. Jo Marie has only gotten that one phone call and a post card that really didn't make sense to her. He told her to move on and she finally feels like shes ready. She meets a man and she has feeling for him. In the back of her mind though she still feels and thinks about Mark.

I really don't want to share anymore because I want you all to read it and experience some of the things for yourself. I loved getting to read Emily story and to see how Jo Marie's life turns out. I wish we could see more from the future but this is the last book in the Rose Harbor series. I'm sad that its over. I know that D.M. will share more of her lovely words though. Let me know what you think of this one or any of the books she's written. Leave the author a review it shows your love!
