      Synopsis

      Wishes come true for fans of paranormal romance

      A charming new novel by the author of If Wishing Made It So

      Ever since her fiancé died, Larrie Smith, owner of The Sparrow's Nest Antiques, has been unable to let go of the past. Then, an oil lamp comes into her possession-complete with a handsome genie who offers Larrie three wishes. But what soon happens to both Larrie and the genie is far better than a fairy tale.

      A great beach read and feel-good storyby Bigredbard

      June 26, 2009: Lots of fun. Not posted here, but on the Internet... Romantic Times gave it four stars (compelling) and said "This wonderful, fanciful story...will charm readers who enjoy the magic of genies and time travel." Kimberly Swan in Darque Reviews wrote: "A world where adventure, magic, and romance combine to lure readers deeper into the storyline...A feel good story that romance readers are sure to enjoy." I absolutely loved it. It contains a treasure hunt and time travel and some kick-a&%$ plot twists, as well as some very poignant scenes. Larissa's fiancee has been killed in Iraq and it highlights the realities of the price paid by our troops and their families.

      This is a whimsical romantic fantasyby harstan

      June 11, 2009: The death of her fiancé Ryan left Sparrow's Nest Antiques dealer Larrisa Smith unable to cope with her grief; she even wears two watches with one being his. It takes her quite a while to truly return to society as she has been only going through the motions. A palmist reads her palm and informs Larrie she has an incredibly long life line, but must continue to avoid antiques.

      A woman demands Larrie buy her late brother's estate. Larrie is unable to refuse though she prefers not to do so. Among the items is an ancient brass lamp that leaves her dreaming of a genie John Trelawny who grants her three wishes. She wishes to go back in time, which he grants her. Larrie realizes she is not dreaming and feels that John the genie is maneuvering her, but is not sure to what purpose though she hopes her last wish is one he can grant her.

      This is a whimsical romantic fantasy starring a woman grieving her loss and a genie grieving his status. The story line is owned by this pair as she quickly realizes she is falling in love with a Machiavellian genie while he finds her love might be the thing to end his "curse". Time travel, genies, and bereaving heroines make for warm wonderful whimsy.
