Julie's Reviews > The Inn at Rose Harbor

The Inn at Rose Harbor by Debbie Macomber is a 2012 Ballantine Books publication.

This is the first book in a five-book arc, which is a slight spin off from the Cedar Cove series. I loved the setup- Jo Marie, a widow, buys a B&B and welcomes guests with troubled souls- which means we get two fresh stories in each installment while we follow Jo Marie’s own journey back to happiness after losing the love of her life.

I found myself easily caught up in the drama- Abby and Joshua each had compelling and emotional stories. I think this is a series that will appeal to readers who enjoy stories about people overcoming emotional traumas, who find forgiveness, healing, and peace- with only mild romantic elements,but will also appeals to romance lovers- though the romance is not the main focal point.

This is good story telling and it is easy to see why Macomber is so very popular. This book is a a little over a decade old, but shows very few signs of age.

I’m looking forward to meeting the next set of visitors to the Rose Harbor Inn!!

4 + stars

*This book has a bonus novella- which I will review separately.
