1225 CHRISTMAS TREE LANE

1225 CHRISTMAS TREE LANE by Debbie Macomber

From the book jacket:

The people of Cedar Cove know how to celebrate Christmas.  Like Grace and Olivia and everyone else, Beth Morehouse expects this Christmas to be one of her best.  Her small Christmas-tree farm is prospering, her daughters and her dogs are happy and well, and her new relationship with local vet ted Reynolds is showing plenty of romantic promise.

But...someone recently left a basket filled with puppies on her doorstep, puppies she's determined to place in good homes.  That's complication number one.  And number two is that her daughters Bailey and Sophie have invited their dad, Beth's ex-husband Kent, to Cedar Cove for Christmas.  The girls have visions of a mom-and-dad reunion dancing in their heads.

As always in life - and in Cedar Cove - there are surprises, too.  More than one family's going to have a puppy under the tree.  More than one scheme will go awry.  And more than one romance will have a happy ending!

This little holiday book is the final book in the beloved Cedar Cove series.  I have read and loved every one of these books.  I've felt like the residents of Cedar Cove are all old friends.  This book was a perfect ending.  We got to catch up on all the families who were spotlighted in earlier books.  And a nice touch was that a little bit of their story was given to refresh your memory.

Hats off to Ms. Macomber for ending this series on a high note!

I've enjoyed my years with this series but I think she was smart to end it and she ended it perfectly. I felt this was an excellent finale to the series.
