Publisher Description
Father’s Day
Robin Masterson’s ten-year-old son, Jeff, figures he needs a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the unfriendliest man in the neighborhood. Still, Jeff persists…and soon his mom and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way.
The Courtship of Carol Sommars
Peter 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!

"Two nice stories about giving love a 2nd chance, predictable but comfortable reads. One of the rare times on of Macomber's books doesn't tie into another series. As always her characters are like old friends & I hated for the stories to end."
— Loni (4 out of 5 stars)
Right Next Door Listener Reviews
-
" It was very good. it was very sad at times with the little boy and his dog. It is a romance novel so it might be a little weird. The author is a great person and is a great author, I have loved every book that ive read from her! "
— Mackenzie, 2/16/2014 -
" Two charming stories in one book. I liked "Fathers Day" a bit more than "The courtship of Carol Sommers" but maybe that is because I read it first. While reading the second story a lot of the elements felt repetative. I'm also a sucker for a big dog. "
— Carol, 2/4/2014 -
" Two books in one. Romance without steamy sex scences "
— Jeri, 2/2/2014 -
" Two very similar stories that suffer from being placed back to back, as the formula is clearly revealed. "
— Gevera, 2/1/2014 -
" I always enjoy reading Debbie Macomber books. "
— Leslie, 1/30/2014 -
" I liked this book but not as much as some of her other ones. I have found that I am not as fond of her books that have only a few characters and one story line. I love Debbie's books that have lots of characters and lots of story lines all in the same book. Especially when it is a series of some sort and you get to know the characters more in depth with each book. "
— Trisha, 1/28/2014 -
" I thoroughly enjoyed both novellas. The characters were lovely and very likeable. There was just the right amount of humor and each had a happy ending. "
— Justin, 1/27/2014 -
" Cute. I read these at the beach and they were fun and quick reads. "
— Maggie, 1/20/2014 -
" A typical chick book, easy read "
— Sabrina, 1/15/2014 -
" Couldn't finish this one. The characters were just too annoying and pathetic for me. "
— Jeanette, 1/14/2014 -
" Both stories were good, and had awesome male heroes and supporting cast. But in both cases the woman got way too hung up on her past and took too long getting over it and accepting the new relationship. "
— Dannielle, 1/12/2014 -
" good, quick fluffy read! got through each of the stories in a day and thoroughly enjoyed both :) not a whole lot of depth or intense drama, simply a couple of cute love stories that will make you smile. worth reading for sure! "
— Hilary, 12/11/2013 -

— Dana, 11/22/2013 -
" I needed a mushy book!!!! Def two love stories smushed into 1 book! "
— Jen, 11/14/2013 -
" I really like Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street books and her Cove series but this one not as much. The first story was good, but the second was a little too racy for my taste. "
— Natalie, 11/27/2012 -
" tedious to read, too mundane, stopped after the first 50 or so pages. "
— Allie, 9/20/2012 -
" This book is SOOOOOOOOO good. Sometimes things are right under out nose and we don't even see it. "
— Cindy, 3/17/2012 -
" The two stories were too similar to be in the same book. If I had read them a couple of momths apart, I would have enjoyed them a lot more. But , Debbie Macumber is still one of my favourite authors. "
— Germaine, 2/1/2012 -
" Sometimes you just need to read something that you know will end well. "
— Denise, 12/25/2011 -
" One of the best romantic books.. "
— Yarissa, 12/14/2011 -
" Two more romances by Debbie Macomber ... actually Debbie wrote Father's Day and her son wrote The Courtship of Carol Sommars. I liked Father's Day best ... "Courtship" was a little long and boring. Both are easy read and good for a rainy day. "
— Glenda, 10/13/2011 -
" I really enjoyed these books. They are easy to listen to & gave me several hours of pleasure. "
— Odetta, 9/23/2011 -
" As I am addicted to Debbie Macomber, this is not an impartial review. I may have already read this book last winter when I read one or two per day, but it still provided me with a lovely distraction during my plane ride home from the family reunion in Minnesota "
— Kristi, 8/13/2011 -
" a great book! i didn't want it to end. "
— Belinda, 7/27/2011 -

" Somewhat predictable, but a nice easy read. "
— Rebecca, 2/22/2010 -
" So predictable I didn't bother finishing it. Maybe the problem <br/>was that I had just finished John Grisham's "The Summons", I have <br/>enjoyed Debbie Macomber's books in the past. "
