74 Seaside Avenue Book Review

74 Seaside Avenue (Cedar Cove) by Debbie Macomber was the 7th book in the series and next in my quest to read the whole series. I started this one right after finishing the last one and with the lack of things on television, it got quickly read.

 74 Seaside Avenue is the home of Bobby and Teri Polgar, newlyweds who are dealing with threats to Teri over Bobby's chess ranking competition.Bobby and Teri were married after a brief love affair showed them how much they meant to each other.  Teri left her small apartment and they bought a new house together on Seaside Avenue.  Teri put a lot of effort into making the house a home while Bobby was busy at chess tournaments. Teri's brother, Johnny, comes to the house to see if Teri will invite the family over for a family dinner which she agreed to do.  Teri's sister, Christie, always tried to pick up the men that Teri was involved with so she had a strained relationship with her.  Her mother, Ruth, had a drinking problem and often got out of hand when alcohol was involved and she brought her own beer to the dinner (and was quickly asked to leave).  However, Teri and Christie rekindled their relationship after Bobby turned down Christie's advances.  Christie starts to have feelings to James, Bobby's Limo driver.

Troy Davis was working with his daughter to clean out all of her mother's clothing so that he wouldn't have to deal with it after loosing Sandy to MS a few months ago.  Justine and Seth were working together to sell the Lighthouse property and open a tea house in town.  Charlotte is working to write down all her recipes for Justine.  Rachel was dealing with her boyfriend, Nate, getting transferred to San Diego with the Navy while she was maintaining her life in Cedar Cove and her friendship with Bruce and Jolene.  Linette McAfee packed up all of her things and left Cedar Cove after having her heart broken by Cal and decided that she was driving across the country until she found a place that she could settle down.  Maryellen was enjoying her new born son, Drake, and three year old daughter, Katie while getting back to a more normal life not on bed rest.  Will Jefferson moves into town and decides that he is interested in buying the art gallery after the owner decided that it was closing.  There are so many things going on with the different characters so pick it up and find out what is going on with your favorite characters.

I highly recommend picking up any book in this series.  This book was an adventure packed book with lots of interesting twists and turns.  I hope that you pick this up at your local library or bookstore soon.  Let me know what you think of it!!!
