I really enjoyed this book which included the stories of the three Cresswell sisters. This is my first book by Ivy/Raleigh and it definitely won't be my last!

All three stories had me laughing out loud at the bantering between the H/H and kept me reading until the very end. Definitely a must pick up for any historical romance lover!

The first and the third story were really, REALLY good. My favorite, well actually, almost ONLY romance I read is Regency. The clean ones, where they don't look like a stiff breeze will make their clothes fall off on the cover and where they don't do much more than kiss once or twice. I'm not against naughty, but there is a time and a place for that, and it's not in my Regencies, thankyouverymuch.

So these stories took me back to my teenage years, where I would go with my friend to the local independent book store, pick up a bagful of Regencies, and go back to my friend's place, where we would sit and read the day away. Sigh. Youth really IS wasted on the young, no? (Not really, I would KILL to be able to do that again.)

The second story was SO eye-rolling and the male MC's thoughts SO feminine that I couldn't give it more than 1.5 stars. The flanking stories get 4.5 stars each. It averages to 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up, because they were really quite good and nostalgia.

4 solid stars. If you enjoy Regencies, these are classic. Though I would recommend skipping the middle one. And the last one has a BIT more than just a kiss or two, but it wasn't too bad. Very enjoyable read.

My thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books Lyrical Press for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was three books in one. One thing that was confusing for me was the title. There was not really any wishing going on so confused as to the title. The story was well done. I enjoyed the tale a great deal. I was going to be disappointed if we didn't get to see how all three relationships worked out but the author did a great job.

The Christmas Wish: Solomon Cresswell was trying to right the wrong he did to his girls. He was a jewel thief. Sarah is the oldest and taken care of her two younger sisters since her mother had died. Sarah had opened a school for children who had it rough . Sarah meets Lord Oliver Chance when his brother had come to him and told him the Chance Jewels had been stolen, then Oliver went to Sarah as he had been told Sarah is the one to help retrieve the jewels. Sarah and Oliver are attracted to each other and neither can ignore it and they don’t know what to do.
The Valentine Wish: Emma is the middle sister and only seeks a calm life with a calm family to work for. She never wants to see her father - Solomon- again. Emma thinks she has a chance being the companion of Lady Hartshorne who has a nephew Lord Hartshorne then Emma meets Lord Hartshorne who is determined to find out what Emma is running from. Lord Hartshorne is spending a lot of time with Emma and is finding it hard to fulfill his duty as was Emma.
The Wedding wish: Rachel is the youngest sister and also the most like her father. Rachel meets Mr. Anthony Clarke at the Opera. Then Lady Boswell decides to put Rachel in her place in public. All Rachel wants is revenge and follows the Boswells to Surrey. Anthony follows Rachel. Solomon goes with Rachel as her uncle. Anthony and Rachel spend more and more time together. Rachel is different from her two older sisters and loves her father deeply and doesn’t want to marry. But she does want Anthony. Then Anthony and Rachel find a handicapped young girl hidden in the Boswell's Dover house.
I enjoyed these three stories of the sisters who all took the scandal put on them and did the best they could to find happiness in their world. All three women felt they would never have love but in each case the sisters find someone for themselves. All the stories were interesting and very enjoyable and I had no problem with my attention fading in anyway. I liked all the characters and the ins and outs of all three stories and I recommend.

This is a complication of the three stories in the Cresswell Sisters series. Each of the Cresswell’s respond differently to being the daughter of the renowned jewel thief, the Devilish Dandy, and while I found each of their stories cute and unique is parts, ultimately I felt like the leading men in all 3 stories were basically the same.

If you are looking for 3 very cute, PG rated romances, look no further than this novel. Maybe if I had read each of these stories separately, instead of back to back I would have appreciated them more. My favorite sister was Rachel Cresswell in The Wedding Wish. I like Rachel's attitude and demeanor towards people, as well as her playful interactions with Mr. Clarke. However, my favorite leading man would have been Lord Hartshore from The Valentine Wish.
