Navy Wife: Falling for a Man in Uniform Can Be Hard...

Rating:
Summary: Navy Blah!
Review: This book starts out great in the first few chapters, then finds it has no where to go. The lead character changes her mind too many times and she comes accross as a spoiled brat. She spends her time complaining that her new Navy husband would not quit his career to prove he loved her.

Rating:
Summary: Couldn't even finish it
Review: this book was soooo sappy and boring. The characters had no personality. They were just too tormented to live. I put them out of my misery by putting the book down. Love other books by Debbie, this one just didn't make the grade though.

Summary: Navy Wife
Review: This novel by Debbie was so great. I can relate to the situations in this story line. My friend is in the navy and I connected with it on a personal level. I can't wait until the rest of her Navy series comes out.

Rating:
Summary: A waste of time and money.
Review: This sounded cute and really could have been. Unfortunately it turned out to be loss. The heroine was an immature brat. The dialogue had very little depth to it.The story line never developed into much of anything. The love scenes were boring. I sure had trouble finishing it but I hate to review something I didn't finish. The only thing positive about it was the hunks in navy whites! (We're a navy family and those uniforms are/were awesome on my husband and son!!)

Summary: Cheesy is right, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Review: When I saw this book at the bookstore, I thought it would be a fun read, something different. It was also my first Debbie Macomber book. I was surprised at the good reviews this book got because I found it incredibly boring. I couldn't stand Lindy. She was a spoiled brat and that she fell in love with him so early on in the book only told me she was incredibly immature. I was almost embarrassed for her in the one scene where she kept insisting to him she loved him. I thought she made quite a fool out of herself. And I couldn't help but roll my eyes when she gave him the ultimatum. Rush was alright, but I never really knew what he looked like. He was never really described except for being handsome. Their conversations were shallow as were their lovemaking scenes. I did finish the book (although I'm not sure how) but it was incredibly stupid. I think a much better story could have been written with the same plot. A little deeper dialogue between the two might have helped and possibly a more mature heroine. I hate to judge an author by reading just one book, so I will probably read another of her books because she is quite popular but I hope it will be better than this one was. I got the impression this book was written in about two days given the shallowness of it. With phrases like him leaving work like greased lightening and her asking him if he was king of the universe, it didn't seem like much thought was put into writing this. And her expecting him to give up his job, as if he could just say I quit, was a bit much. Then she said, when she learned he'd stay onboard, that she said she wouldn't be at the pier when he came home but she hadn't said anything about not being at the apartment. And that was a bit ridiculous too. Maybe I expect too much when I'm looking for a good book, but this just didn't cut it. I'm curious though, what Harriet Klausner would say about this book because I follow her reviews and I seem to agree a lot with her assessment of books. Was it just me or was this just a bit too cheesy to be good?
