Publisher's Summary

Set in Cedar Cove's charming Rose Harbor Inn, Debbie Macomber's captivating new novel follows innkeeper Jo Marie and two new guests as they seek healing and comfort, revealing that every cloud has a silver lining, even when it seems difficult to find.

Since opening the Rose Harbor Inn, Jo Marie Rose has grown close to her handyman, Mark Taylor. Jo Marie and Mark are good friends - and are becoming something more - yet he still won't reveal anything about his past. When Mark tells her that he's moving out of town, Jo Marie is baffled. Just when she is starting to open herself up again to love, she feels once more that she is losing the man she cares about. And as she discovers the secret behind Mark's decision to leave, she welcomes two visitors also seeking their own answers.

Best friends Kellie Crenshaw and Katie Gilroy have returned to Cedar Cove for their 10-year high school reunion, looking to face down old hurts and find a sense of closure. Kellie, known as Coco, wants to finally confront the boy who callously broke her heart. Katie, however, wishes to reconnect with her old boyfriend, James - the man she still loves and the one who got away. As Katie hopes for a second chance, Coco discovers that people can change - and both look to the exciting possibilities ahead.

Heartwarming and uplifting, Silver Linings is a beautiful novel of letting go of the past and embracing the unexpected.

Not Disappointed!!

I love Debbie Macomber, and this book was as always a lovely story. I choose this one as soon as I saw Lorelei King was reading it. She is my all time favorite and I will listen to anything she reads, she's the best. The two together made for a fabulous experience.

Oh my holy cliffhangers!!!

Where does Silver Linings rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love the Rose Harbor series

What did you like best about this story?

What I like about this series is that there are different people that come in and out of it, you get updates on their lives and what happens to them. But there's also the constant characters that you love. You get to follow their lives and see what happens with them so it doesn't concentrate on just one thing. The story doesn't actually stop you do get answers about what happens to the characters that have been in previous books unlike some supporting characters you never know what happens to them. My only complaint is I have to wait a year and oh what a cliffhanger this was I do not want to do any spoilers the first day of a book, but you get to find out a lot about Mark. All you mark lovers will be happy about that.

Have you listened to any of Lorelei King and Debbie Macomber ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes I have listened to other books in the series and several different Lorelei king audio books as usual Lorelei king does a wonderful job.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I listened to this book in one sitting I have been waiting for this to come out. I have been following this unorthodox romance between Jo Marie and Mark and I was so wanting them to be together now there's another cliff hanger and we're going to have to wait to see what's going to happen again I don't know if I can wait another year.

Any additional comments?

Definitely credit worthy some parts with the two girls in this book seem kind of immature and silly but all in all I love the book and will buy the next one as soon as it comes out because I want to know what's going to happen in Jo Marie life.

AMAZING!

Would you consider the audio edition of Silver Linings to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version of the book.

What other book might you compare Silver Linings to and why?

I would link the quality of Silver Linings to Debbie Macomber's other Rose Harbor and Cedar Cove Books.

Which scene was your favorite?

I love how the story ends, but I do not want to ruin it.

Any additional comments?

This was an amazing and heart-warming story that I simply could not put down. I would recommend this story to any listener/reader who has heard/read the first 2 Rose Harbor Inn books.

Cliché love stories

The stories in the book could have happened in the 1950s.
The narrator was good, but she could not save the book from itself. I got it in a 2x1 sale to get some light reading into my library, but it required some effort to finish it
Women with a high sex drive (as in, not frigid) are deemed crazy; especially when they are good Christians, as if one characteristic excluded the other.
Man who cannot communicate their feelings are "enigmatic" instead of emotional undeveloped and nerds are to weird.
I'm just glad the other book I bought during the sale is worth the full credit.

Definitely a young adult book

It was a decent story. But not my kind of book. I found myself annoyed of the characters and the way it was written. But I would have liked it as a teenager.

good read

this was a great love story. debbie macomber is a wonderful author I enhoy reading

life in a Bed and Breakfast

As guest come and go, the drama becomes part of the life of it's owner. Happiness, pain, love, and loss add to the history. Warmly written with love of the story evident in each page, drawing the reader into the story. Recommended for lovers of a good story.

Ending

Did the author forget the ending to the story? It was weak. Wasn’t expecting this
