I found this author while searching for cheap eBooks, and uncovered a goldmine by a very prolific lady. Ladden the antiques dealer acquires a mysterious carpet along with a lamp. Not long after this a strange man seems to make things happen for Ladden and his favourite customer Jasmine. Unfortunately Jasmine is already involved with a prominent local figure up for re-election. Three Wishes is one of her shorter books and has a light-hearted supernatural element, which together give the impression of a vacation read. A little suspension of belief never did anyone any harm and it’s a sweet story.

Nookie for your Nook?– Yes, it’s fair to say your sunglasses will steam up by the end of the book.

Kooks for your Kindle?– Other than the two leads and the crack-pot bestower of the titular wishes, there are few other characters, but all with their part to play.

The Bella-Swan-Pathetically-Self-Sacrificing-Factor– The male and female leads share the book equally, and while our heroine Jasmine is a little bit timid and similar to the leading lady in Almost a Family, her male counterpart has more to do and is more thoroughly depicted.

Painting a picture for your paperback?– The main theme explored is family, he has a large close one and she has none.

Evaluation of your eBook?– Places firmly at the frothy end of the scale, not overly memorable, but a pleasant, fun read. Short and sweet! Recommended for summer holidays.
