Publisher's Summary

Three women of different generations gather at a house in Summer Hill, Virginia to discuss their marriages and look at how they'd do things differently if they could do it all over again.

Olivia is in her 60s and recently married her first love after 40 years apart. Her first marriage was long and unhappy and she is thrilled to finally be with the man she's always loved.

Kathy is in her 40s and is married to a handsome, successful businessman. She is a great business partner for him but he is passionately in love with a woman from his past. Kathy wants to stand on her own in business and regrets ever marrying her husband.

Elise is in her 20s and is married to the man her wealthy parents chose for her. She has tried everything to get her husband to pay attention to her but she is certain he is having an affair. When she discovers the truth - that he has a pregnant mistress - her life falls apart.

All three women share their regrets, their wishes and their dreams and find themselves with the opportunity to start again. All three discover what happens if their wishes really could come true.

I was thoroughly enchanted with As You Wish

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.

Excellent

Love it,
Deveraux is an excellent story teller.
Where do I go to change time?

A bit of fluff

I suppose almost everyone wishes at some point that they could rewrite a portion of their lives, but I don’t believe we talk about mad, passionate sex in every other sentence. That part of the story was pretty over the top. Not worth spending a credit, but worth buying for under $8.

Simply put, these books make me smile!

The characters are so well fleshed-out that you begin to relate to each of them. Listening to these Summerhouse books is like going on an adventure. Even though I've read the first ne and knew there would be the time travel and changing of lives, it was still fresh and enjoyable! I really, really wish the third one would be made into an audiobook!!

terrific storyline

loved this book. It has all the variety of character traits , trials & emotion . Jude has again set a developed storyline and lovable characters. Thank you for sharing uncle Kit s life.

What other book might you compare As You Wish to and why?

I can't think of another book like it other than another one by Jude Deveraux.

What about Susan Bennett’s performance did you like?

She tells the story and makes you believe it is more than one person telling the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The love the characters showed to the children and the 2 older men was very heart warming.

Any additional comments?

The book is about hope and 2nd chances

Loved it!

Finished it in one sitting! It was too good to put down. The past and present popular references were amazing.

So much romance

I loved the connection to "The Girl from Summer Hill" (another favorite). Once started, I couldn't stop.
