REVIEWS: One Wish, Calista Fox The Romance Readers Connection says One Wish by Calista Fox is "the one to pick up." "Red Sage publishing and Calista Fox were lucky when they found each other, since they compliment each other so well. I have long enjoyed Ms. Fox’s short stories in the Secrets anthologies.... ~~~The Romance Readers Connection
Harriet Klausner from Genre Go Round Reviews calls it "an enjoyable short tale." "This is an entertaining fantasy romantic short that works because Jillian, as the prime player holding the story line together, is fully developed. Readers will learn her fears, flaws, and desires especially through her interaction with the genie and with Luke." ~~~Harriet Klausner from Genre Go Round Reviews
One Wish - Calista Fox - Paranormal erotic romance Jillian Anderson is a woman without great expectations of life. She's lost most of her family through the years. The one man she's ever wanted completely leaves town after each night he's spent in her bed and she's never known why. The bar she inherited from her Uncle Pete, cleverly renamed the Old Age Saloon, came with a promise from her relative that she'd one day find "eternal bliss" and she's still waiting for that to happen. Each day she works herself into exhaustion and calls it a life.
Jillian's string of bad luck in is about to run out and her nights are about to be filled with much more heat than even Sedona, Arizona can produce. All thanks to Luke and one fascinating little genie...
Calista Fox's One Wish is a delightfully sexy read. From the first page, Ms. Fox stirs sympathy for a heroine who'd been through a lot in her life before the story begins. Using great characterization and dialogue, the author weaves a tale that is funny, sensual, and over all too soon. The plot is simple but effective and the ending is charming and uniquely handled. The genie is a wonderful secondary character and when she first appeared on the scene, I was convinced I knew how her character would be used. I was wrong and happy to discover that. I'd like to recommend this charming tale to fans of a good story with steamy sex. Another solid and memorable work from Red Sage. Sensuality rating: Very sensual ~~~ Cameron Foster – THE ROMANCE STUDIO
ONE WISH – Calista Fox - Erotic Contemporary w/ Paranormal Elements RRTE Rating: Multiple O's Sedona, Arizona ~ Present Day Jillian has loved Luke since they met as teenagers. Through the years, they have become “fucking buddies” and Luke seems content to keep it that way. Jillian tells herself she likes their arrangement, but deep down, she wishes for more. Well, her wish may soon come true… A magical genie named Sera appears in Jillian’s bar’s storeroom and is grateful for Jillian releasing her from captivity. The genie grants Jillian one wish, and tells her to make it a good one. While Jillian initially doesn’t believe Sera is a genie, she’s soon persuaded, resulting in her fainting in shock. It is Luke to the rescue after Sera calls him to take care of Jillian and boy, does he take his duties to heart. The big question of ONE WISH is whether Jillian’s wish will be for Luke to fall in love with her. Calista Fox provides readers with a cute little story that’s quirky, hot, and delicious. Who wouldn’t want the chance to be granted one wish? Jillian is an engaging character who’s working hard to succeed on her own, but maybe it’s time to get a little help. And I don’t mean from the genie. ;-) Luke, meanwhile, just perhaps may be looking to settle down. Or, so we hope… For a sizzling hot read with a touch of paranormal, grab yourself a copy of ONE WISH. You just may want your own little genie. ~~~Holly Tibbs - Romance Reviews Today Erotic Reviews
To My Reader: At a barbecue last year, my parents introduced me to this little delicacy called a “Wickle.” It’s a spicy pickle, and my dad loves them. So I thought it would be fun to take the concept of the Wickle a step further and add a magic ingredient to it—tequila. When a feisty genie samples the creation, she’s willing to grant any wish in exchange for more! And, as it happens, lovelorn Jillian Anderson is in desperate need of a few wishes—or miracles—when it comes to too-hot-to-handle Luke Parsons. I hope you find Jillian and Luke’s romance, helped along by a mischievous genie hopped up on Wickles, a delicious treat!
EXCERPT FROM ONE WISH: “Some men should come with a warning sign,” Jessica Leighton said with a long-suffering sigh. Jillian grinned, not needing to lift her gaze from the beer tap before her to know Luke Parsons had just entered the saloon. Jess propped her hip against the bar as she waited for Jillian to fill her drink order. Jillian cracked the tap, letting the frothy liquid flow into the glass pitcher she held underneath it. “Just a small, discreetly placed tattoo,” Jess added. “That says something like ‘Caution: Contents Under Fire.’” “How about ‘Warning: Too Hot To Handle’?” Jess laughed. “Yeah. That’d work.” The beer reached the rim so Jillian closed the tap and set the pitcher on the bar for Jess to deliver. Only then did her gaze slide to the tall, hot and hunky man who made the rounds, greeting fellow patrons. Dressed in a muscle-hugging T-shirt in a deep shade of navy blue and faded Levi’s that had conformed to his body years ago but still accentuated his powerful thighs, the bulge behind the button fly, and an ass that made mouths water, he was a sight to behold. Jillian’s stomach did a curious little flip, despite the fact that warning signals went off in her head. Jillian knew the dangers of playing with fire. Luke really was too hot to handle. The man needed more than a “discreetly placed tattoo.” He was the type who ought to come with a loud siren and flashing red lights. Danger, danger! The voice in her head screamed. For the moment, Jillian ignored it. If one could get past Luke’s ruggedly handsome face and perfectly sculpted body, there was still that lazy, half-assed grin that ignited internal infernos. His smile alone could make a woman instantly wet. Too, his ocean blue eyes, which complemented his tanned skin and sandy brown hair, could bore so deeply into a woman’s soul, she’d swear they were destined to be together. Forever. But Luke Parsons didn’t do forever. And Jillian knew it.
