5 stars

Ravine is a down-to-earth, practical attorney who does things her own way. Then, she finds a genie, and suddenly, things have to change, starting with her. Gene is not your ordinary Genie. He's only been one a few decades, cursed to fulfill wishes by a man whose woman he might have dallied with, and gotten caught. He's also not Arabian, but an Aussie. It does not take long to realize that there is something more between them than master and servant; for one thing, Ravine refuses to treat him as a slave, preferring to call him her partner. Yet, both know that once a third wish is made, he will have to depart. ***** This story has something to touch all your emotional senses; humor, drama, touching moments, and romance. Gene is the most charming jinn I've ever encountered, a perfect contrast to Ravine's type A-ness. If you have never read or actively avoided genie stories, then this exceptional book deserves to be your first, and if you love them, then definitely get it. ***** Amanda Killgore

good one

This was written with a good imagination. Its an easy to read book , a nice change. I would read more from Lucy Finn

Our book club loved it

Our book club read this book last month. Everybody loved it and passed it on to friends when done. It is funny and clever, sometimes moving, and with some wonderful lyrical passages that our members underlined and read. One passage was "Lies never turn out well. Never. No exceptions. The truth is a funny thing. It surfaces no matter how deeply its buried." The book is a fast, charming read.

Fun & Easy Read

I'm new to reading any type of fantasy/romance novel - only previously read The Key Trilogy books by Nora Roberts. This story held my attention - which is not an easy task - it was a pleasant vacation read.

Mild Chick lit/Fantasy

This was a really nice read. It was light. Perfect for a beach read.I enjoyed the characters Ravine and the Genie Gene. They were well developed and made me laugh, alot. There was suspence,Humor, Romance ( although, mild as it was. )some sadness, but still a happily ever after. I usually take about a week to read a book ,I read this in less then 24 hours.It was a page turner. There were only a couple of negative's about this book. This was suppose to be a Paranornmal Romance ( which is the genre I really love ) as stated by a magazine, which are darker, edgier and packs more heat, while this was more Chick lit, had more humor and a lot less heat, but it had substance and thats what counts.Please pick it up, give it a try you may enjoy it to.
