I'll admit. This type of book it total catnip for me. Who doesn't want a chance for a do-over? Even if you're happy there's always something you'd do differently in the past. Have a chance to make something right. Stop a wrong from happening.
Love the Summerhouse Series
Jeanne Hightower & Madam Zoya pass the torch, and it makes for such a great read. Fans of this series will not be disappointed. Ms. Deveraux can we have a fourth book in this series please?!

I enjoyed this. I love the way it pulls in the Montgomery family, and the interactions between the three women. Realism...maybe not so much, and not just about the time travel element. But a really fun read.
The book started well for me and I was very into it, wanting to know more about the people. But as the book went on I found them more annoying. The books mains characters are three women and I don’t think it would pass the bechdel test! I guess I like my women less whiny-about-men.

My Review of
As You Wish by Jude Deveraux
I was thoroughly enchanted with As You Wish. This is a series but may be read as a standalone. If you have never read this author or series before then you are in for a treat. I quickly settled into this story. Jude Deveraux did not disappoint with this installment of the series. The three women who are looking to change one thing about their past were as different as could be but bonded together well. The men were well... what can I say, I could not stand any of these women's husbands except for Olivia's husband and that was questionable at times. The author did her job of making these men intolerable. The women in this story had great character traits and each one had a very compelling backstory which I found so interesting I could not wait for every chance that I had to listen to this book. This is an enchanting book that also gives a message of hope, love and how important it is as women to show strength and independence.This review was originally posted on My Fiction Obsession

I remember liking the Summerhouse, the first book in the series, and also read the second book, Return to Summerhouse. Maybe my expectation towards this third book was too high. I felt meh about this one. First of all, it was too long. I thought madam Zoya would never be appearing in this book. Unfortunately I did not connect to any of the characters.
I don't usually read the Summerhouse series. It just doesn't appeal to me. But I thought this was the next book in the Montgomery series and, realizing that Olivia was a minor character earlier in the series, decided to keep reading. This one wasn't so bad. I liked Elise's story, wished we could have seen more of Kathy's and was disappointed in how changing her storyline changes the earlier story that Olivia was part of.
I suppose that, at some point, I had read the back of the book. Still, aside from it being a romance novel, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I wish I’d done better research.
The stories, really stories from four different people, were all over the place. I spent nearly the first half of the book trying to figure out why I needed to know the information.
About halfway through I started to dialogue-read, and the story started getting better, both of which brought a welcomed ending to the book.
