Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Right Next Door" is a reissue of two previously published books by Debbie Macomber. "Father's Day" was originally published in 1991 and "The Courtship of Carol Sommars" was originally published in 1990.
"Father's Day"
Now that Robin Masterson has bought a new house, her ten year old son Jeff wants nothing more than a dog, which unfortunately Robin can't afford. Jeff soon bonds with the dog next door and Robin soon finds herself bonding with the dog's owner Cole Camden. Robin and Jeff seem to break the wall that Cole built around his heart after a devastating tragedy but Robin can't help but wonder if Cole is getting involved with them for the wrong reasons. It will take everything Cole has to convince Robin that he is indeed falling in love with her.
"Father's Day" is a very cute romance by Debbie Macomber. Macomber does a good job of mixing the sad moments (Cole's back story) with some humorous moments (like Robin trying to catch Jeff's pitches or Jeff's idea of how babies are made). The romance between Robin and Cole is a good one and Macomber does a nice job of showing how Cole changes the more he encounters Robin and Jeff. Jeff is a great character who just wants a dog (and a father)."The Courtship of Carol Sommars"
After a disastrous marriage, the last thing Carol Sommars wants is another relationship. But her fifteen year old son Peter has other ideas - he thinks Alex Preston, the father of his best friend James, would be perfect for his mother. Alex thinks so too, but it will take the efforts of all three to help convince Carol that Alex is the right man for her.
"The Courtship of Carol Sommars" is another winner by Debbie Macomber. Carol is a very convincing character who is unsure of her own heart after making the wrong decisions at an early age. Alex is also a good character who is ready to start looking for love again after the devastating loss of his wife. The romantic tension between the two is very well done and by Macomber's standards (her romances are usually very "sweet") this is a hot romance. Peter and James are also good characters although they often seem younger than fifteen. Carol's Italian mother Angelina Pasquale adds a great deal of warmth and humor to the book."Right Next Door" is a nice reissue of two early Debbie Macomber books. Macomber does tend to repeat storylines (a lot of people die in car crashes in these two books) and her younger characters (Jeff, Peter, and James) are a bit too perfect to be true. Still both stories are guaranteed to warm your heart and put a smile on your face. Highly recommended.

The Courtship of Carol SommarsPeter Sommars is fifteen, and what he needs is a little more independence. Which is why he'd like his mom, Carol, to start dating. He even knows the perfect man-Alex Preston, his best friend's dad. As it turns out, Alex is interested, but Carol's doing everything she can to sidestep his pursuit. Which only makes Alex-and the boys-more determined!Father's DayRobin Masterson's ten-year-old son, Jeff, figures he needs a dog more than anything in the world.
