2017 has seen me gain a whole new appreciation for the genie and, having loved His Wish , the first in the Playboy Genie series, I couldn't wait to get my mitts on His Command and become acquainted with Ryder Wood.
“Genies don’t play gentlemen’s rules.”
I love the sexy, smooth talking, flirty and witty persona of these men and Ryder has it perfected. He also has a weakness in that he hates seeing people unhappy and when Hailey Lawson crashes into his life, his hero complex kicks in as he sees a woman who needs some cheering up.
“Because he’s a Genie, he thinks he gets to call the shots?”
Focussed on her career as a wedding planner, Hailey is sassy and independent but since the demise of her long-term relationship she does have her insecurities and has chosen the quiet life outside work. And to add insult to injury, she's been lumped with planning her ex's wedding. However not letting it get her down is that little bit easier with a hot genie at her disposal.
“I got jumped by a horny Genie.”
Hailey and Ryder were wonderful together, bringing plenty of witty banter, sweet moments and magic between the sheets. And I can't not mention Ryder's Handler, Luka, who had me howling with his observations on love and verbal sparring with WFY's Director, Clare. I have to admit it didn't quite reach the heights of His Wish—I think that was always going to be a big ask as Jax and Charlie were perfection—but it was still a great addition to the series. And with Sophie H. Morgan ramping up the entire story up by injecting an emotional angle, it also opened things up for a whole raft of possibility involving Ryder's twin, Leo: I can't wait to get my hands on him.
Well I'm a little late discovering this series but as I'm a huge paranormal romance fan it's definitely on my book radar now. I loved the idea of genies and even though these are made not born it still worked to give an interesting background. What was even more intriguing was the fact that there are different levels of genies with accordingly ascending powers. Wishes for You is the global organisation that pulls all the strings and although not all wishes can be granted it is possible to win or earn a wish from one of the gorgeous, magical genies and that's where the fun begins!
Hailey has spent the last six months shutting herself away trying to get over the way she feels at being dumped by Ethan who said he wasn't ready for marriage and certainly not to Hailey. So imagine her shock when her boss says their agency is planning a big society wedding and can you guess who the groom is? You guessed it Ethan! Hailey is panicking, despondent and then has a crazy idea to attend a charity auction never guessing that she's about to win the star prize!
Ryder has a smile and a quip for everyone. Never giving his heart but nevertheless enjoying the opportunities that frequently come his way! So when the long legged Hailey quite literally falls into his arms but doesn't seem to want to act on their instant chemistry he's somewhat nonplussed. Hailey looks so sad and all of Ryder's knight in shining armour instincts flare to life. What harm can it do if he lets her win his wish as after all it will mean they meet again but Hailey isn't ready for what Ryder offers but perhaps they can come to an arrangement?
Snappy dialogue always gets my vote and the quick witted banter and repartee between these characters was fun to read. In many ways they are complete opposites as Ryder is full of fun and mischief whereas Hailey is a much more repressed personality. Seeing them bond and just generally have a good time ( because with a genie there's little you cannot do ) really helped to expand Haileys horizons. Yet the author made this a well rounded tale with emotional content as we learned much more about Ryder and his life so far. I loved the pace of the romance as thankfully it wasn't rushed. Plus we meet other Genies which include Ryder's brother Leo and his boss Luka so I'm really looking forward to more from this author
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
I am really loving this series it has the best of chic lit and paranormal mixed in with a ton of humor. I really appreciate the relationships between the characters, especially the friendships. The chemistry between the heroine and the love interest is wonderful… all in all it is a great book.
I really enjoyed this. The romance was cute and realistic. The problems between the couple were relatable. It was paced appropriately. I thought it was better than the last book in this series because the hero and heroine seemed more well suited and there was no doubt that they have complementary personalities.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes hot, reformed-playboy genies and sassy heroines!!
