"Wishes can come true"

Three women get the chance to have their wish come true.

Craven's Downfall by Stephanie Burke

Nola Jacobs was about to marry a man who was more of a friend than a lover. Her parents liked Gregor and were pushing her to settle down. Before the ceremony, she decides to take a walk to clear her head. She really doesn't want to get married and wishes she could do exciting things and know passion before settling down with for the rest of her life.

Craven, Master of Dark Desire, Lord of the Flesh, Ruler of the Kingdom of Lust, was bored with his life. He's one of the Fey, a Fairy, but not your usual one. He's tall with long, dark hair and a sexual appetite that rarely quits. He decides to grant a human's wish. Before Nola knows what happens, she finds herself in the land of the Fey with Craven granting her every wish.

This was a very hot and enjoyable story. The ending was not predictable and was a surprise.

A Wish Away by Marly Chance

Today is Tiffany's birthday. She's never had much luck with her birthdays and they all seem to turn out awfully. Her last one had her finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She's decided that this time it will be different. She's not having any parties, surprises, or anything special. So far she's made it 12 hours into her birthday without any mishaps.

Zak and Tiffany have been friend for six years. She's been attracted to him from the first moment she saw him but he doesn't seem to see her as anything other than a friend. While having lunch with her best female friend she makes a wish that Zak would see her as something more than a friend and that she could have some more excitement in her life.

I felt the connection between the two main characters from the beginning.

Serendipity by Joanna Wylde

Sarai's marriage was a horrible one. Her husband beat both her and her kids. After her marriage ended, she decided she doesn't want anything to do with men ever again. While running her boarding house, she meets Jax. He seems to be different from her husband but she's still not sure if she can trust him; but Jax isn't about to give up.

I enjoyed each one of these stories. They were all well written and contained characters that were easy to care about. All of the stories were very sensual and the relationships were believable.

Sexual Content: NC-17.
