From Publishers Weekly
The aftermath of a fire at the Lighthouse restaurant and the search for an arsonist spark the sixth volume of smalltown drama set in Macomber's fictional Washington town of Cedar Cove (after 50 Harbor Street). Justine and Seth Gunderson, the owners of the Lighthouse, are divided by their reactions to the tragedy; Seth is obsessed with rebuilding as quickly as possible, while Justine wants to take advantage of their newly found free time. Meanwhile, Macomber follows numerous loosely connected story lines involving characters from previous volumes: an impulsive act of generosity by hairdresser Teri Miller triggers romance with a world renowned chess player; physician's assistant Lynnette McAfee encounters trouble in her relationship with shy horse trainer Cal Washburn; father-to-be Jon Bowman struggles with anger over his parents' legacy of betrayal; and several navy families face leaving their hometown. Fans of the series will snap this one up, but new readers may struggle to sort out the characters and relationships (Macomber includes a two-page list of residents to help). Those who enjoy good-spirited, gossipy writing will be hooked. (Sept.)

From Booklist
Cedar Cove has been a busy place since Macomber's last installment, 50 Harbor Street (2005). Justine and Seth's restaurant has burned down, thanks to arsonists, and their marriage is threatened. Young Allison's boyfriend, Anson, is a person of interest in the arson case and runs away. Allison is the only one who believes he did not set the fire, but his continued absence damns him in the eyes of the town. These old friends, as well as the rest of the familiar population of Cedar Cove, have new stories to tell. There's hair-stylist Teri's most recent love interest, for example, chess-champion Bobby Polgar. Though she has no knowledge of or interest in chess, once she sees him on TV, she gives in to a sudden urge to cut his hair. Teri has no idea how her life is going to change. Readers new to Macomber's considerable narrative charms will have no problem picking up the story, while loyal fans are in for a treat. Maria Hatton

As with the previous 5 books in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Series, 6 Ranier Drive was like sitting down and gossiping with old friends. Ms. Macomber has stayed true to the flavor of the series by resolving problems from the previous book while setting up new scenerios for future books. In 6 Ranier Drive, Justine and Seth's marriage becomes troubled over the restaurant burning; Anson Butler and Allison Cox's relationship is threatened by Anson's past; Teri Miller becomes involved with a celebrity; Cal Washburn finds a cure for his speech defect, but has romantic difficulties, and Jon and Maryellen have their baby after a complicated pregnancy. I hate to say that Cedar Cove is like a soap opera on paper, but don't quite know how else to describe the series. I think the major difference between your daytime soaps and Cedar Cove is the rather excellent writing talent that Ms. Macomber brings to the table. After the first two books in the series (read them in order), you can't help but become so involved with the characters! While some of the books were 5 star reads, I would rate 6 Ranier Drive as 4 stars, because while it held my interest, it didn't cause me the deeply emotional response that some of the others did - specifically the 4th and 5th books. Regardless, 6 Ranier Drive was a worthy addition to the series and I will look forward eagerly to 74 Seaside Avenue in September of 2007.

I have absolutely loved this series. It has been wonderful, light reading and I have looked forward to each installment. I sat down with this book expecting to be delighted and just wasn't.
There were too many characters and too many story lines without any in-depth look at any single group of characters. Fortunately, I knew the characters from previous novels because they were so one-dimensional here. Justine was irritating, Seth was bull-headed, Linette was immature and childish, and I could go on and on. Nothing new was revealed about the characters and, in many cases, the characters seemed to revert back to what they would have been like at the age of 8. The characters were grating !
I particularly had difficulty with the women in the story insisting that the men in their lives accept dishonesty and abuse from family members just because they are "family". Both Charlotte and Maryellen expect their husbands to love, embrace and forgive family members regardless of the atrocities of the past. They spend much of the book being "disappointed" in their spouses for not caring about their family when their families have done some really terrible things. The women just came across as annoying.
I am planning on reading the next installment, but it needs to be significantly better than this one or I am finished with this series !

This series is my first experience with Debbie Macomber. While the first five were fast, enjoyable reads, this one just wasn't as good. As a previous reviewer stated, the characters weren't too developed and the storyline seemed very lukewarm. I'm hoping to enjoy the old writing style in 74 Seaside Avenue.

This one wasn't as good as the other five books. There were way too many charactors in this one and it made difficult to remember who they were and what their current storyline was. The list in the beginning of the book wasn't much help. I was looking forward to Seth and Justine's story but was disappointed they themselves made it hard for me to root for them. Seth was bull-headed and not listening at all to his wife. Justine was very childish I expected her to be at least a little worried at the sole income for her family being gone. How am I suppose to root for a woman who's first impulse with her marriage problems is to have lunch with her ex-boyfriend? I found myself siding with Ben and Jon instead of their wives who were pushing them to reconcoil with their families. Ben's son had previously tried to con Charlotte out of a large sum of money and yet she's trying to convince Ben to forgive his son? The same goes for Jon, his family left him to rot in jail for years and he's suppose to simply forgive them? I was surprise that Linette's romanced ended the way it did and can't wait to see what comes her way. Teri met a man and the relationship progressed very fast but it was real nice. Allison Cox was wonderful I liked how she had faith that her boyfriend didn't start the fire at the restaurant even when evidence suggested otherwise.

I have been wanting to read this book for the longest time and finally read it.
Overall, Ms. Macomber did not disappoint me. I like the new character - Bobby Polgar, the grandmaster chess player.
The mystery of The Lighthouse Restaurant fire was resolved nicely.
One thing preventing me from giving this book a 5* is the twist in the romance between Cal Washburn and Linnette. I know that Linnette is a bit childish and had hoped from 50 Harbor Street that Cal would be a good influence on her. It did not turn out to be the case. I am disappointed in Cal. The twist is really out of the left field and un-neccessary. For a man with deep character like Cal, he sure changed his mind fast.
Otherwise, this is a solid read. Can't wait for the next one.
