Pretty sure this is my first Genie romance but Morgan rubbed this lamp up just right. I will be looking for more from this author as well as other Genie books.

Forget Powerball – I totally want a ticket to win a wish from one of Sophie H. Morgan’s Genies! Her Wish is a fresh and fun paranormal romance. I loved Ms. Morgan’s whole concept of celebrity Genies, the corporation that employs them, and wishes being granted to weekly lottery winners.

Charlie believes in hard work, not wishes. And when her best friend buys her a lottery ticket and Charlie wins, Charlie would rather chew glass than make a wish. Unfortunately for her, Jax Michaels – the Genie who is supposed to grant Charlie her wish – can’t let her just skip out on her wish. On the surface, the stunningly gorgeous, oh-so-charming Jax who has women throwing themselves at his feet is everything Charlie despises. But when he keeps popping in, the two actually start to get to know one another and the real fun begins. I loved that Charlie threw Jax for a loop by being unimpressed with his looks, charm, magic, and celebrity.

Charlie has her reasons for not wanting a wish, and though it took a while to learn her reasons, I understood why it was too personal for her to immediately open up and share with Jax. As for Jax, I – like Charlie – wasn’t immediately bowled over by him because he was arrogant as could be. This actually worked really well for the story, because it gave me a chance to start liking Jax alongside Charlie. There’s more to Jax than most people see. Most people don’t look past his looks or charm, just like most people don’t look past Charlie’s “plain Jane” looks and acerbic wit. Both of them are smart, flawed people who come into their own over the course of the story and their personal journeys had me as engaged as their romance. Charlie and Jax make an excellent couple and I found it difficult to put Her Wish down because the chemistry they had was so appealing. Even when they’re fighting, sparks fly and they’re equally matched. Jax and Charlie simply work on every level. They don’t instantly fall in love. Heck, they don’t even instantly fall in lust. Their love story is a natural progression as they come to know each other and I just loved that. It’s not smooth sailing for these two. Their strong personalities, differing views, and Charlie’s old wounds and insecurities mean that it’s a bumpy road to happily ever after, but it’s a road well worth travelling.

Her Wish is the first book in Ms. Morgan’s Playboy Genie series and I’m can’t wait to delve further into the world of the Genies. I was fascinated by the bits and pieces of WFY that we got to see and the Genies who worked there. I’m definitely hoping future books show us more of how WFY works. There are also a couple of supporting characters, both magical and mortal, who I’m really hoping get books of their own one day. Jax’s Handler, Luka, Jax’s assistant, Josh, and Charlie’s roommate, Kate, added extra humor and heart to the story and helped make the world come alive.

Her Wish is unique, fun, and as charming as Jax himself. I adored Jax and Charlie’s romance and I can’t wait to read the next Playboy Genie story, His Command.

I picked up HER WISH because it sounded kinda corny; it had a little-used premise (genies!) and a chesty cover. I was not expecting to be blown away by a well constructed magical world and a touching, realistic romance that bloomed as the book progressed. I was pleasantly surprised by just how much this book made me smile and frown and laugh.

The lottery that Charlie wins, thanks to her friend buying her a ticket, is a weekly chance for someone to get their wish. There are a few limits to these wishes, which I really appreciated. If it had truly been “anything goes”, it would have made the world too unpredictable. Genies can get you a cool new house, but at the end of the month, you’ll have to pay the rent and the municipal taxes. They don’t have power over life and can’t bring back the dead. These very clear limitations pop up a few times during the book, grounding the magic in the real world.

My favourite part of the book might have been when Charlie gets cornered by a man who feels that Charlie has wasted her opportunity to wish. He would have used his wish to try to save his dying sister. Charlie has her reasons for not trusting genies, but when faced with this violent, grieving man, it really brings home the fact that refusing to wish is never, ever done.

With a well thought-out plot and memorable main and side characters, HER WISH was a pleasure to read. It’s one of those books I finished hoping it was the start of a series. The second book isn’t obviously railroaded into the plot, but there are enough fun characters that I would love to return to the world of the Playboy Genies (even if the series title is dorky).

I terrific book with, dare I say it, a "new" concept. No poilers, but highly recommend. A great romance!

Charlie believes that Genies are uncaring and selfish. She'll never buy a ticket to win a wish in their lottery, but fate is funny. She's a winner. Thanks to her friend. What's she going to do? Refuse her wish, of course. Charlie is immovable. Her stubbornness drives her Genie, Jax Michaels, crazy. I loved their love-hate relationship. They make sparks fly when they're together. Jax finds himself falling for this feisty woman. She makes him feel emotions that he hasn't felt in a long time. Charlie finds herself intrigued by this sexy Genie. He is caring and tender. It was such fun watching them fall for for each other. The dialogue is smart and sassy. The story is an intriguing combination of romance and emotional pain. The characters are charismatic and I was drawn into their story. Sophie H. Morgan has an easy to read writing style that pulled me in. I enjoyed this paranormal romance with a different twist.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read. My comments are my honest opinion.

I can't tell you how long I've been seeing this cover and wondering if I should break down and read Her Wish.

I broke down!

I couldn't help myself. The cover just called to me. I kept seeing it and knew, just knew, that I needed to read it.

So I read it for review. I'm so glad that I choice to review it. I'll be honest with you, it wasn't just the cover that drew me, I also loved the fact that the one of the main characters is a genie. They whole series revolves around genies.

How fun!

I haven't read a genie or close to them since I feel in love with Kathleen Nance's Djinn series. (a series you really should read) So how could I pass us Her Wish? I couldn't!

Right away you kind of get the idea of where this story is going. You understand how some of the people around Charlie feel about her. Just not why? In the beginning when she wins the lottery and a wish you don't understand why she won't wish. Who wouldn't want to wish for something that could make their lives better?

As the story progress it all be come clearer. I don't want to ruin anything for you that's why I'm being careful to not give anything away.

I will mention that I did love Jax. He turned out to be so...sweet, loving, caring & HOT! The whole package. Of course it took a while to realize he was. Maybe it just took the right woman.

As a whole the story is quick moving and a very emotionally enjoyable story. You'll really enjoy it. I did have one issue with it though. I wish Charlies issue with making a wish didn't consume the whole story. I enjoyed more of the romance parts.

Cute story. Good buildup to why the heroine hated genies. I hope there will be more stories in this series.

Wow! Just Wow! Her Wish is the first book I have read with a Genie and I loved it! Sophie H. Morgan has an interesting concept with this book! I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I have to say Genie's are cool! Yes, they are gorgeous. Yes, they are arrogant. Yes, they are celebrity's in their own right. Who wouldn't love a Genie's when their mission in life is to grant people wishes???

There is a worldwide lottery that mortals buy tickets for in hopes of being picked to receive a wish of their choice. Jax Michaels is the face of Wish For You's, the drop dead gorgeous Genie tasked with granting Charlie Donahue's wish when her name is pulled from the bucket of tickets. Only she didn't buy a ticket. She doesn't trust Genies. Her best friend Kate bought the ticket and put her name on it. When Charlie's distrust of Genies comes out and doesn't want her wish, Jax pulls out all the stops to get her to wish. All the women love him, so why doesn't she?? In fact, she's down-right snarky! Jax isn't stupid. He doesn't need this crap, until his Handler says he must get her to wish and he can't quit until he does. Charlie intrigues him a bit, so Jax decides he has to up his game!

I totally fell for Jax! He was all that and then some! But he also has a sweet and very caring side. As much as Charlie believes Genies can't be trusted, he believes they have only done good deeds. He sets to show her she's misguided and I love his tactful assault on her! He was so likeable I was surprised Charlie held out as long as she did! Charlie is a smart cookie and due to her childhood, she lives by her own rules, not taking anything for granted. She's worked hard for what she has and isn't going to wish for something and be saddled with an unfortunate fall out. People are understandably flabbergasted when she refuses to wish-both good and bad. I understand where she was coming from, but I also felt she should've wished for something she could've gave someone else if she didn't want to use it for herself-like a dog shelter or homeless shelter. But that would've been too easy and Charlie hasn't had anything easy in her life.

Chemistry. We need to talk about the sizzling chemistry between these two! Yikes! It was literally scorching my fingers from my kindle!! All the innuendos and witty banter turned up the heat! Once Charlie gave into to Jax's seduction, she was a vixen let loose! Whew! Get me some water!!

I loved Her Wish! It's very unique and has a great, thought out storyline! I think it's one that you'll want to get your greedy little paws on yourself! The Playboy Genie series is off to a great start! I can't wait to read the next in the series! If it's anything like this one, it's going to be a great read!!

Her Wish is such a unique story! Charlie's roommate and best friend buys her a ticket for the genie lotto. Charlie HATES genies (her reason isn't revealed until about half way through the story), so when she wins, she is pissed. She also refuses to wish no matter how hot and charming genie Jax Michaels is.

Jax and Charlie have a lot of banter and angry quips for about the first 1/2 of the story. Jax refuses to lose and he has to get her to wish. Charlie refuses to be one of those girls that falls at his feet and knows that wishes can ruin lives. Frankly, I didn't really like either of these characters early on and was ready to DNF the story. Charlie is so stubborn that it was infuriating. She lets Kate's boyfriend talk to her like she is trash, she is rude and prickly to everyone, and while I understand her reticence against wishing, she could have made an altruistic wish like "I wish for a cure for cancer to be found tomorrow" or "I wish that everyone with cancer was cured today". Jax is probably the most narcissistic character I have ever read. He is good looking and charming and thinks that the world should fall at his feet because he is a genie. He is cruel at times and says some hurtful things to Charlie. The turning point is about the 1/2 way mark. You find out why Charlie hates wishes and genies, you see Jax start to drop the machismo and charm, and these two people actual find some common ground. But, can Charlie ever trust that Jax actually likes her and isn't just trying to get her to wish?

If you are looking for a unique romance, Her Wish should be on your wish list! Jax just might charm your pants off!

5 Stars/4 Flames

This book was gifted to me for an honest review. The review and ratings are solely my opinions

Her Wish by Sophie H. Morgan is a fun and interesting paranormal romance about a world where Genies exist and lottery tickets can lead to wishes for the weekly winners.

Charlotte Donahue, a bookseller in New York, lives with her best-friend Kate. Considered a "plain jane", she dresses more for comfort than to be noticed. After a bad day at work and the stress of low sales at her bookshop, she just wants to go to her room, but Kate won't let her avoid not socializing. So she ends up staying to watch Lisette's Hour, where the weekly drawing of lottery airs. Completely uninterested and untrusting of genies or wishing, Charlie doesn't buy lottery tickets for herself, which is why when her name is called as a winner she is utterly shocked! And soon her world is turned upside down when none other than the most famous Genie on the East Coast, Jax Michaels, pops in to grant her wish...or tries to anyway.

An immortal genie for thirty years, Jax Michaels, loves his job. He grants wishes and is known for his charm. When he meets Charlotte and is told that she'll not be taking her wish, he's more than willing to wash his hands of her especially after their disastrous first meeting. However, the Partners who run the genies, tell him quitting is not an option. Soon it is a battle of wills and barbs in a way at first, before this unlikely pair (turning adversaries to friends to lovers) begins to learn more each other and themselves.

From the beginning of Sophie H. Morgan's story, what I enjoyed the most was the humor and conversational-like writing style. For example, in the beginning, we get to see and feel Charlotte's inner thoughts especially how she really feels about Ian, the twins, and genies. The story slowed in some parts, especially with Sophie's search to prove that genies aren't completely good, and that their wishes that they grant destroy lives. But the story kept my interest and threw in some moments that had me hooked onto the every word.

I also loved Jax Michaels character, who is definitely layered, and I enjoyed finding more about him and his backstory as the story progressed. His bantering with Charlotte kind of reminded me of Beatrice and Benedict from Shakespeare, though their barbs were not so harsh.

Overall, Her Wish by Sophie H. Morgan was a delightful and unique take on genies within a romance filled with humor and moments of emotion. I enjoyed it and would recommend.

(I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book I received for free from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my open and honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.)

Wishes really do come true, even if you’re determined you will not make one.

Charlie has never trusted genies. Sure, they may be handsome as sin, charm a girl into believing that special smile is only for them, and grant elaborate wishes but she knows that there is always a price to be paid. When her best friend enters Charlie’s name into the local lottery and she wins, happy isn’t the word to describe how she feels. She refuses to claim the wish and therefore sets off a chain reaction that no one could see coming.

Jax is confident in his looks, his dealings with women and his job. If a wish needs to be granted, he’s just the genie to do it. He’s positive he can get Charlie to change her mind. What he’s not sure about is how this one woman can enrage him with her stubbornness and yet ensnare him with it at the same time. This isn’t how this genie business is supposed to work.

I expected this to be pretty predictable but that’s okay. I can do predictable. It was not. Yes they meet. Yes, they have a little enemies to lovers thing going on. Yes, it ends with a HEA. But what I didn’t expect was everything in between all of that. Their banter was perfect, the evolution of the relationship was natural, the resolution of their crisis not far-fetched…if you believe in genies anyway. And I do. Absolutely I believe and I’m going to be watching this author for more of the genie goodness to come.

5 - "Are you ready for your dreams to come true?" Stars!

This year has so far introduced me to a few new authors and a large number of them have been ones I can see myself having a long and enjoyable reading relationship with going forwards, Her Wish, is the first book I have read by Sophie H. Morgan, and she definitely fits into the aforementioned category with this book.

IMAGE.

I absolutely loved this unique take on love and relationships, built around a Genie trying to grant a wish to a woman who has absolutely no interest in collecting. The snark and sass from Charlie, matched with the suave and smooth of Jax, just kept the smile on my face pretty much from the beginning of the book right up to the end.

"I care about the ordinary girl…"

There was a little of the Cinderella about this tale for me, because Charlie came across as quite the Plain-Jane at the beginning of the story, although not what I would class as an introvert, Charlie definitely preferred her own company and thoughts to spending time in the think of it.

She was much happier with her book boyfriends…

Jax is the polar opposite in every way, very much the center of attention, with hordes of adoring fans. Their differences on this and disagreements along the way about pretty much everything they were passionate about went from hostile initially to downright flirty. Both have more about them than initial impressions and you learn that they are not so different where it matters as the story progresses.

"Sometimes we need to blame others for things that are too hard to accept."

Great story, great set up for the Playboy Genie series, as well as being excellently written, and I cannot wait for the next book; , His Command to materialize in the summer, I hope that this is Charlie’s BF Kate’s story, she certainly deserve to have her own happily ever after.

ARC generously provided via Netgalley, and it was a pleasure to provide the above honest review.

Her Wish is a lighthearted and cozy romance with a touch of magic that is a quick, well-written read.

Charlie doesn't trust genies, not after her own life has been torn apart by a wish granted by a genie. However, when her roommate and friend Kate signs her up for a lottery ticket for a genie wish without Charlie realizing it, she is more than a little displeased to find out she won a wish from The Jax Michaels. What originally starts off as him following her around to convince her to cash in on her wish will soon turn more romantic and much steamier.

This is a very adorable, easy romance read. Perfect for anyone who loves their romance with a sprinkle of drama but prefers an overall lighthearted story. The premise is interesting and unique, and the magic is an interesting add. I don't think the full extent of the genie plot line has been completely thought out, but this works as a first in a series and is a fast, happy read for any romance lover looking for a quick mental getaway.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC in exchange for a fair review!

Well there's a first, I've never fallen in love with a genie before. Nor have I previously read Sophie H. Morgan and I can categorically say, both genie and author were a resounding success.

“You said something about romance.”
“As you wish.”

What you quickly realise is that male genies are ladies men. Gorgeous, smooth talking, arrogant and charming with a presence that captivates the masses. Except Charlie Donahue. She's not overly impressed by them, nor does she believe any good can come from a granted wish.

"You can take your wish and shove it up your ass."

Oh how I loved her. Her sarcasm and frankness was a thing of beauty and from the very start her hackles are raised where Jax Michaels is concerned--the irritatingly delicious genie hell-bent on convincing her to accept the wish she's won on the lottery thanks to her loveable, interfering BFF. And he'll happily play a little dirty using the oodles of charm, persuasion and cheeky wit he possesses.

"I see you butting in with unwanted opinions."
"And I see you being as prickly as a hedgehog that’s being poked."
"So, stop poking."
"Gorgeous, you'll know when I’m poking you."

I could go on, but I'm not going to; simply put, I loved Her Wish. I adored Jax and Charlie, their story grabbed from the very start and held on tight throughout, their chemistry was perfection and I found myself swooning, laughing my socks off and brushing away a couple of little tears along the way. Sophie H. Morgan has brought her reader a quirky, fun and sexy romance full of feeling, fabulous characters and plenty of scope for future stories. I can't wait for more.

This one will tug your heart and leave you breathless! I really enjoyed the relationships between the characters, especially the friendships. The chemistry between the heroine and the love interest is so well done and is set in a great new world to explore. All in all it is an amazing book and I can't wait for the next one.
