This was such a good book! I enjoyed Willow and the secondary characters, and the storylines of both finding yourself and moving on. The romance aspect was good, and well paced.
This is a good book. The two main characters are Willow and Noah. Willow and Noah meet when they were teenagers and saw each other for the summer but only knew each other first name. They meet again years later, when Noah comes to close the tv station that Willow works at. They start dating. They each have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.
Anytime I pick up a Debbie Mason book, I know that I will not be disappointed. She does an amazing job pulling you right into the story and keeping you on the edge of your seat through the entire book. When you are finished reading I always say, that is her best one yet. They just keep getting better and better.
If you have not read a book by her, you don't know what you are missing.
This is book 2 in the Sunshine Bay series. I have not read book 1 in the series. Nothing gets Willow Rosetti down. She adores everything about her life in Sunshine Bay, particularly the close proximity to her beloved family and her job as a meteorologist. So when she finds out Channel 5 may close and she and her coworkers will be out of work, she goes behind her family’s back to call her estranged aunt, a famous actress. Willow has never met her aunt and has no idea why her family disowned her, but she’s hopeful Camilla can deliver the ratings they need to convince Noah Elliot, the station’s gorgeous and grumpy owner, to save Channel 5.
When Camilla Monroe learns her niece Willow is trying to contact her, she fears the worst—that her secret has finally come out. Distracted, she doesn’t see the e-bike in the road. Now a case of amnesia has Camilla back in Sunshine Bay, and she’s getting Willow into one mess after another.
With a little bit of scheming and a whole lot of heart, this unlikely duo might just have the summer of a lifetime, saving the station, healing their fractured family, and even paving the way for love.

I love Debbie Mason books, and it was so fun to be back in Sunshine Bay!!
This book is delightful and heartwarming and fun to read. i love the family, friends, and romantic relationships. And the small town vibes and antics are very fun.
This one did feel a bit more like a soap opera than I like. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I would have liked more depth and less chaos.
There’s also a lot of random drama, outlandish moments, and quick jumps between events that made it seem fast paced but could also be a little jarring.
I loved the romance, and it definitely found its stride as the book went on. But the awkward start to fairly immediate relationship was a blink and miss it switch. I needed more chemistry and conversations between the two I think.
But I did fully enjoy the books. I always find myself happy, cozy, and entertained reading Debbie Mason books.
If high drama is on your list for what you search for in your next read, stop right here.
Willow is desperately trying to save the local news station but hinges it upon an aunt whom she has never met.
Enter Noah, hot guy who holds the key to what Willow is wanting but will he satisfy her wishes?
I didn’t expect all the family drama that ensued and was disappointed in how Noah handled it.
The ending is good but you may need to flip off the floatie into the pool to wash off the drama.
Good little romance/hallmark type quick read. It kept my attention the whole time. It also had some unexpected twists that kept you hanging on until the end! Well written and worth the read. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy.
I always get so excited when I see that Debbie Mason has a new book out! I love her books, I find they’re always enjoyable, easy, fun reads! This book is the second book in the Sunshine Bay series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. This book is filled with romance, family drama, small town vibes, and so much more. You’ll be hooked from the start when you read this book! You will be laughing one minute and crying the next when reading this one. If you’re looking for a great second chance romance read, I highly recommend checking this one out!
Willow Rosetti tries not to ever let anything get her down. She enjoys the life she loves in Sunshine Bay and all that it offers. She loves her job at Channel 5 as a weather girl and worries when she finds out her co-workers and herself might be out of jobs soon. She hopes she can contact her famous Aunt and get her help in saving the station. Things take a turn when her Aunt Camilla has an accident and Willow is called to take charge of her. Her Aunt has amnesia so Willow can't find out why she has been estranged from the family for so long. Follow along as secrets are revealed and Willow discovers more than she bargained for. Will her life be turned upside down or will everything work out in the end?
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason is a fun and well written beach read that I completely enjoyed from the very first page until the last. I always feel at home reading books by Author Debbie Mason and this story didn’t disappoint in the least. Highly recommended and completely addictive!!
I was so excited to be able to dive right in to Three Little Wishes after I finished Sunshine Bay - and I was not disappointed! I had perfect summer vibes from this book, and really enjoyed getting another glimpse into this quirky little town. I will say, keeping the characters/names straight was a bit more of a challenge for me in this one - I'm not sure why but I felt fairly thrown off off and on throughout the book.
Debbie Mason knows how to take the reader to another place. I have always adored her book, but this one did it for me. She captured the reader so well with the characters and the story. Such a fun beach read, and I loved the sweetness from the beginning to end. Highly recommend!
Willow loves her hometown of Sunshine Bay and her job as a meteorologist for the local channel 5 news. She has family close by, friends and coworkers she cares about. When the employees learn that the station is being shut down, Willow is determined to find a way to keep it going. She hatches a scheme to get her aunt Camilla Monroe, a famous actress, to make an appearance, sure that it will draw a big crowd and help raise funds to save the station.
What should have been an easy solution to the problem turns out to be anything but. Her aunt has amnesia and Willow has been entrusted with her care until her memory returns, but her aunt isn’t making things easy at all. Camilla has been estranged from her family for many years and Willow doesn’t know why, and the owner of the station is anything but cooperative.
I laughed, shed a few tears, and laughed some more. This is a wonderful feel-good story.
Mason’s Sunshine Bay novels are completely delightful. I was excited for Willow’s story and it did not disappoint. Oh boy are there SECRETS! Perfect for while you are waiting for the next Susan Mallery or Sarah Morgan.
I love this little beach side town, Sunshine Bay along with the Rosetti family! This story focuses on Willow Rosetti, the local weather girl, trying to save her local channel to stay on the air. She is also dealing with family issues, her old boyfriend from the summer they were both fifteen now enters the picture.
This is story of family secrets that come out, forgiveness and the romance of Willow And Noah. There are laugh out moments. The ending was perfect. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone, I sure hope there is more from Sunshine Bay.
We get to return to lovely town of Sunshine Bay in this second book of the series, written by Debbie Mason. Willow, the town’s weather reporter, has a hilarious meet-cute with Noah…who she finds out soon after, her new boss. This is a multi-character POV book...which brings a different level of reading...a really neat one!
Three Little Wishes is a fun story, with some crazy twists, an aunt who gets amnesia, some sibling and family drama. A grumpy-sunshine romance, and some history in the re-making.
I really enjoyed this book, but at times felt a little confused and had to reread parts…could’ve just been me, could’ve been the book. But in either case, I thought it was a good read overall!
Debbie Mason takes readers back to Sunshine Bay and the Rosetti family with a new tale filled with unexpected twists, long-held secrets, laugh-out-loud humor, and heart-tugging emotion. It's everything I expect - and enjoy - when reading a Mason novel.
I love the dynamics among the women in the Rosetti family - the focal point of this series - the complex relationships, the layers within each of the women, the steadfast bonds among Willow and her two cousins, and the unexplained estrangement among their grandmother, mothers, and aunt. Mason took time to give each character the attention and development they deserved. That also included Noah and his teenage sister, Riley. In fact, the relationship between by-the-book, 15-year-old Riley and mischievous, 40-something Cami (who, because of amnesia, thinks she's 17 for the first half of the book) was one of my favorite parts.
Willow and Cami are the Rosetti women who evolved the most in this book. I appreciated the complexities of each of their situations as well as their places within the Rosetti family. Or, in Cami's case, outside the family. I really enjoyed watching the growth of both of these women; with Cami as she worked to mend the rift between her, her sisters, and her mother and with Willow as she worked to find her calling and prove her worth. One of the facets of Mason's writing that I especially enjoy is her willingness to dig deep into emotionally fraught and thought-provoking situations.
The romantic relationship between Willow and Noah is also an important part of this book and one that I enjoyed. Mason is so good at threading together multiple relationships in her books without causing confusion or sacrificing the importance of any one singular relationship. Whether it's friends, co-workers, siblings, mothers and daughters, other extended family, or romantic couples, each gets the attention it deserves and each has the necessary thread to form a complete tapestry. Things got pretty messy at times (just like real life) and there were places in the book where I had no clue how it would all work out - for any of the characters - but, of course, Mason guided them expertly forward to a heartfelt, believable conclusion with laughter and tears along the way. I'm already looking forward to whatever she has planned for this family next.
Three Little Wishes can be read as a standalone but for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the Rosetti family, I would recommend reading book one, Summer on Sunshine Bay, first.

ARC received from publisher via NetGalley. Fair and unbiased review.
Book 2 of the Sunshine Bay series and it didn't disappoint. It was nice getting back to the characters from Sunshine Bay.
Debbie Mason really knows how to write a story that once you start you don't want to put down. I really enjoyed reading about the Rosetti family again. This story is about Willow Rosetti and I laughed so much while reading my cat gave me strange looks.
The Rosetti family has their fair share of family drama but it's the love that they have for each other that is the best. I don't like to review about the story because I am afraid, I'd give too much away but the writing is amazing, and the characters are hilarious and wonderful. OH, to have a family like the Rosetti's would be so nice. To have that close knit family and the get togethers. Like I said they have their share of drama and this story is filled to the brim with drama.
I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Three Little Wishes is the second book in Debbie Mason’s Sunshine Bay Series. I was waiting for a trip back to Sunshine Bay and like always Debbie Mason did not disappoint me. This is a magical story of a small town and all the romance you want. It is very sentimental with a little humor throughout!! Ms. Mason writes with such vivid descriptions she will transport you to Sunshine Bay. You will love the characters, even the not so nice ones. I look forward to my next trip back to the Bay!! A great beach read for the summer.
Thank you NetGalley, Forever-Grand Central Publishing and Debbie Mason for this heartwarming story to read and review. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.
