Editorial Reviews

Review
"Ms. Macomber is skilled at creating characters who work their way into readers' hearts." -- Romantic Times

Product Description
Falling for a man in uniform can be hard . . .

New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber weaves emotional tales of love and longing. Here is the first of her celebrated NAVY series!

Impulsive, wounded, vulnerable, Lindy Kyle was unprepared for a roommate like Rush Callaghan. Strong, sensitive and sexy, the temporarily dry-docked naval officer was everything she'd ever dreamed of in a man . . . in a husband.

But Rush placed duty to his country above all else. Though he and Lindy were swept away on a tide of passion, he was called back to sea. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder -- but will their marriage survive their partings?

4.0 out of 5 stars A sappy romance...., May 2, 2003
Lindy Kyle has retreated to Seattle to lick her wounds. After being dumped by her financee, Lindy knew that it was time to strike out on her own. At twenty-two, she has known only one heartbreak, and thought it would break her. That all changed when she met Rush Callaghan, her brother's roommate.

Rush loved the Navy more than anything. After being burned by the woman he loved, he gave everything in him to the Navy. He felt broadsided by Lindy, who was ten years younger than him and light years more naive. Even if she didn't realize that she couldn't be a Navy wife, he did. That still didn't stop him from claiming her as his own, though.

Navy Wife was an incredibly sappy romance. Rush and Lindy fell in love within the first hundred pages. Lindy embraced her feelings for Rush, while he denied them. She was a little immature for my taste, as I don't see how a twenty-two year old like her could hang on to an older more mature man. It was a very predicatable book, with Lindy finally growing up and realizing that if Rush gave up the Navy he wouldn't be the man she fell in love with. I gave it four stars because the emotion was intense enough to hook me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now This book I enjoyed, June 8, 2003
By Lisa "lluvsbooks" (San Bernardino, CA) - See all my reviews
I did enjoyed this book it was so good, I loved Rush I can picture him as a Navy man even though there was an age difference I didn't see it, you could tell the love that they had for each other. Lindy had to find out for herself if she had what it took to be a Navy Wife. I can't wait to read Navy Blue great read :)
Happy Reading Lisa

5.0 out of 5 stars Navy Wife - Jenny, May 16, 2003
By A Customer
Navy Wife was one of the best books I have ever read. I think the reason I liked it so much was because the subject interested me. The book was filled with many twists and turns. Just when I thought I had the rest of the book figured out, everything would change. The ending was good also. Some books leave you hanging, wondering what will happen next, but this book left you with a good understanding of what happened to all the characters. It had a little bit of every emotion. One minute serious, the next funny. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone to read.
