Customer Reviews

orignal, but sad

I thought that this book had a much different plot than most Christian romances. I enjoyed the story, but it was very sad all the way through. I had a headache from crying. All in all, I liked the book, but it will be quite a while before I pick it up again for a rereading.

The First of Henderson's Legacy

Dee Henderson began her legacy with a simply sweet romance book. I had read her O'Malley and Uncommon Heros Series before picking up this one. Her suspense and mystery were great, but this romance topped the charts. Its not a bad book. It reflects the sense of fear every widow or widower gets when first encountering love again. I fell in love with Scott and Jennifer. They really showed me Henderson at her finest. Any Romance lover will enjoy this book. I've re-read it already three times!

A Wonderful Book

This was a great book. It kept my attention the whole way thru. Its a book that gets to your heart thats what i like. I loved it.

A Great Book By My Favorite Author

As Dee Henderson's first book, I was quite surprised at how intriguing The Marriage Wish was. Ms. Henderson really took you into the pain that Jennifer and, toward the end, Scott were feeling. I also love how Ms. Henderson writes her romance. It is truly romantic, but always clean. I am a great fan of romance, but I don't find smutty "romance" really romantic at all. Also, I appreciate Ms. Henderson's lack of curse word's in her writing. The only problem that I found was that at times the dialogue was stiff, since Ms. Henderson rarely used contractions. This, however, is very small in comparison to the book overall. Ms. Henderson's first book published, The Marriage Wish, is a truly romantic book that makes you experience the story along with the characters, and makes you feel emotions as if you were really there.

Be careful what you wish for........

How often do we make wishes and fail to recognize what we really want? Scott knows from the minute he sees Jennifer, and works hard at following God's will instead of his own when it comes to the desires of his heart. Dee Henderson is a excellent author and each of her stories puts you right there with what her characters are going through. She captures the realness of life and translates that to words that make it difficult to put her books down! Read all her stuff, you won't be disapointed!
