This is the second book in this series.I read the first book last summer. I love Debbie Mason books.This one was about a woman named Willow who had been raised by her aunt instead of her mother.She didn’t know that until her biological mother suffered amnesia and the mother who raised her told her.There was a reference to the book series Sweet Valley High which made me giggle because I read those books and the spin off series.
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason is a story about love and the meaning of family. The story has twists that you do not see coming. Read the story.
I loved this whimsical, small-town romance novel, Three Little Wishes, by Debbie Mason.
Small-town settings are my favorite because they are made up of family and friends who usually help each other out when times get tough. This was certainly the case in Three Little Wishes. Along the way family secrets are revealed which adds a little suspense. I loved the characters and the setting. Great read!

A wonderful story of family, love, commitment and second chances.
Although I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I had doubts after reading the opening scene wacky leading lady meets handsome CEO, but this book turned out to be wonderful read about love, family and friends. The characters of Noah and Willow made me really want them together. Ms. Mason writes with compassion, humor and insight to her characters. I will read her works in the future! I received an advance copy from the publisher. Any review is voluntary and my honest opinions.
Three Little Wishes was such a cute story with lots of secrets and a few twists. Willow was adorable, I absolutely loved Noah, and Cami was so entertaining. I loved all of her shenanigans and the friendship she developed with Riley. What a fun group!
I really want to visit Sunshine Bay! The Rosetti family has a lot of secrets and you're about to learn a lot of them. I loved Willow as a character. She and Noah had such an instant connection that I loved. Cami was a surprise but I loved finding out about her and her past. The story had some twists and the connections between the characters was great. It really does feel like a small town. I am already looking forward to Sage's story. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason
(Sunshine Bay Book 2)
USA Today bestselling author Debbie Mason takes another trip to Sunshine Bay with a heartwarming story about a family, romance, and self-discovery.
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.
This is Willow Rosetti's story.
This is Noah Elliot and his sister Riley's story.
This is Camilla Monroe's story.
Willow Rossetti loves her life as a weather person on channel 5.
Noah is the station owner. Willow is a friend.
Camilla Monroe is a famous actress.
I recommend this book.
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason is a 4 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Debbie Mason.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
This was a story about family, love and forgiveness.
This was a great story of family and love. Willow is part of a big three generational Italian family. They cook together, they eat together, they love together. There's also romance between Willow and Noah, who has come to shut down Willow's beloved new station.
Noah's family is much smaller. He and his much younger sister are in Sunshine Bay for the summer. She's your average moody teenager, and he's totally out of his element in trying to deal with her. Willow may be able to help them close that gap.
There is plenty of humor in the story. Picture poor Willow being required to do her weather report wearing a lobster suit, or her 47 year old aunt believing and acting like she's 17 years old!
This was a fun, romantic read with character development that carried the story forward.
Thanks to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the book. All thoughts are my own.
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason
Sunshine Bay series #2. Contemporary family drama and romance. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Willow Rosetti loves her hometown of Sunshine Bay. Sure, she may be the laughingstock of the Channel 5 crew but she admits the blooper reel of her mishaps is pretty funny. But the station is being shut down and she’ll do whatever she can to save everyone’s jobs. Having her famous aunt make an appearance may be just the ticket. Unfortunately her aunt was in a minor accident and Cami thinks she’s 17 again instead of 47. It’s up to Willow to care for Cami and get the family together only when the time is right.
In the meantime, Willow finds out the station owner, Noah, was her best friend one summer long ago. She might be able to convince him to help save the broadcast company. A little help from Cami and Noah’s 15 year-old sister and Willow can change the future of Channel 5.
Sweet and filled with small town vibes and all the family love and drama you’d expect. Willow is an optimist and willing to spread the love and joy. It’s no wonder everyone, including Noah, falls in love with her. She’s the sparkle and the glue of Sunshine Bay. Lots of smiles, a few happy tears and the hea you need.
I received a copy of this from NetGalley.
I absolutely loved this book! It's a charming, small town romance with incredible, loveable characters. A heartwarming story about learning to forgive, the importance of family and the power of love. It is also a great reminder that we can't change our pasts but we can change our futures. An entertaining, fun and romantic read with plenty of twists along the way. You won't be able to put it down.
I’m addicted to her Sunshine Bay Series!
I was so ready to jump into book two Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason.
And being back in Sunshine Bay with the Rosetti family was such a pleasure.
The characters as usual are likable, well written and their relationships are in-depth.
The writing style is engaging and witty, and I found myself totally invested in their lives from the beginning.
A delightful read. Mason has created a charming and relatable story that will leave you feeling uplifted and satisfied.
There's just something so addicting about Debbie Mason's books, they are nearly impossible to put down.
Thank You NetGalley and Publisher for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I have read many books by Debbie Mason, and I keep reading them because she writes so well. Her books also are so heartwarming and relatable. But, with this book I struggled. I had a hard time connecting to the characters, and it was a challenge to find them relatable.
Willow is a ray of sunshine, but, everyone keeps knocking her down. When she meets grumpy Noah she connects to him quickly and starts forming a relationship with him. They are good together and for each other. There arc is so good, until it isn't. Noah discovers something from the past, that Willow had nothing to do with, and blows everything up. Of course, they find their HEA, but, I really needed some grovel.
The secondary characters, while quirky and eccentric, felt like they kept getting in the way. There were too many people and friends around Willow who kept treating her like a doormat, and she just took it. And not only that, it seemed she understood it. I just don't understand a character who keeps getting verbally abused, and comes back for more. These are not friends. So, of course, when Noah does the same thing, it just feels normal to her.
I really wanted to like this book. But, when you just want to hug the main character, because she is treated so badly from people who "love" her, it doesn't make for a light hearted romance book.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.
So good!
We’re back in Sunshine Bay with the Rosetti family . This book is Willow’s story, and it is really good.
I loved Willow’s personality, she is so positive and doesn’t let life get her down. Doesn’t matter if the viewers tease her about her clumsy weather forecasts, or if her aunt needs help after an accident and amnesia, Willow finds a way through it all. But when she finds out that the television station she loves might be sold, she is in action to save it from her childhood friend Noah.
Their relationship is up and down, can they survive the pressure of the sale and the other huge secrets that are revealed? Read this book, you’ll thank me later!
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.
This book gave me so much enjoyment as I was reading. The Rosetti family makes me feel welcome and part of their lives.
The story is filled with so many things both expected and unexpected. I really like a book that has so much to the storyline that turning the pages just fly by.
Willow is the focus of this book, and she does things she knows will cause family drama.
Pick up this book and get ready to be pulled into Sunshine Bay. A small town that everyone will like visiting.
Thank you NetGalley, Debbie Mason and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the copy of Three Little Wishes.
This is my personal review.
Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason, book two in the Sunshine Bay series, is a wonderful story about family, love and forgiveness. Willow Rossetti loves her home town of Sunshine Bay and never wants to leave. She loves her and will do everything she can to save Chanel 5 TV network where she works as the weather girl. She will dress up in any costume they put her in and do the forecast in any weather, despite the outrageous things that always seems to happen to her. Willow is on a mission to convince the owner, Noah Elliott, not to close down the station by the end of summer and becomes even more hopeful when she discovers that she has a link to Noah.
Part of Willow’s plan to save the station involves contacting her estranged famous Aunt Cami and getting her to town. She has no idea how her mother and grandmother will react to this, but she will even take their wrath to save the network. What Willow didn’t expect was Cami having an accident, and waking up with amnesia believing she is 17 and wanting to see her family, unaware of their estrangement. There are lots more family secrets in the Rossetti family that will impact more than them when they come to light. The past and the present crash into each other in a spectacular way, and the Rossetti family will never be the same again.
Ms. Mason wrote a wonderful, humorous, moving, heartfelt story with some major twists that should not be missed. Filled with the wonderful characters in the Rossetti family and their friends. There was definitely some laugh out loud moments in this book, with Willow, Cammie and Riley getting into some situations. Then there’s the handsome Noah who even though he tries, cannot stay away from the lovely and beautiful Willow; this two are magic together. I’m looking forward to the next Rossetti's book to see what happens in Sunshine Bay.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A delightful light tale of family. Willow's aunt Cami, who has been estranged from the Rosetti family for so many years, is back in Sunshine Bay after an accident that's left her with an odd form of amnesia- she thinks she's 17. Noah is back in town with his young sister Riley. He's not just there for vacation though, he's there to more or less shut down the tv station when Willow works. Fans of rom coms know that Willow and Noah-oh swoon! This has a slightly implausible but very fun plot line with Cami's antics but all the characters are equally engaging. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read to relax with.
Willow Rosetti. She is positivity personified but even she can't make her beloved Channel 5 stay on the air. Trying to keep the station solvent while dealing with her family, her old/new boyfriend, his sister, and all manner of things, she is maxed. This story was somewhat of a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney 'Let's put on a show' throw back as the book began, and I wasn't sure I'd like it. Then, the magic happened and the story opened up for me!
What a wonderful premise; get your movie star aunt to come to help get the station back on the top of the ratings...then oops...that doesn't happen...due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Then you find out 'your' friend who is a boy when you were both 15, is now the owner of the station and he wants to sell...until you talk him into listening to you...kind of.
A delightful romp through a summer of crazy happenings. A very easy read and a fulfilling story. The ending is heart melting.
Sometimes secrets are kept too long and can cause difficulties in families. I'm glad this one worked out...for everyone.
4.5 stars since the beginning dragged a bit for me. All in all a satisfying read.
Three Little Wishes is a charming, fun return to Sunshine Bay. The characters are likable and well written. The chemistry between Willow and Noah sizzles! I really loved this novel! It was a quick read that left me wanting to know what happens next! A special thank you to Forever, Grand Central Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.
