"Wish" by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff: Book Review

Wish: Book Review


Wishing Meets the Technology Age - Love it!

A new stand-alone contemporary romance – and yet another 5-star read from Mimi Jean Pamfiloff. Her books have become an automatic 1-click for me, and across all the different genres she brings us, I have yet to be disappointed. Wish is a freshly updated and truly unique take on the “genie in a bottle” fantasy that will hook you from the first page.

Why did I love this book? The reasons are many, but if I had to pick just one thing, it’s the richness of both the characters and the story. Every aspect from character backstory to hilarious internal dialogue has an attention to detail that brings the story vividly to life. Our heroine Ginnie is a mosaic artist who has recently uprooted herself to follow her boyfriend across the country. She’s invested her life and her savings in their future; unfortunately her lying, cheating now EX-boyfriend has not. Despite the hard times she finds herself in, Ginnie is kindhearted and selfless, with a rod of steel running through her independent spine – and she does NOT take charity. She’s determined to turn things around on her own merits. While on the thrifty hunt for new glass for use in her artwork, Ginnie finds a gorgeous bottle...not once, but twice. Enter Mr. Wish. If you could have one wish...what would YOU wish for?

We get the perfect amount of mystery tidbits mixed in here with our romance and humor. Is Mr. Wish really a genie? What does Ginnie need to do to get her life back under control? True to form, just when you think you’ve got things figured out...well, you don’t! I loved every twisty turn and laugh out loud interaction all the way to the HEA. ALL the feels, you guys!


If you enjoy sassy wit and steamy romance with a sprinkle of mystery and fantasy, then you absolutely need this book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. However, I’ve purchased MANY of Mimi Jean’s books in the past, and would have happily 1-clicked this one! 

Wish

Title: Wish (Stand Alone)
Author Name: Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release date: February 25th, 2020

Blurb:
From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a sexy standalone novel.
If I could wish for one thing, it would be to have never met my ex. He took my money, cheated on me, and saddled me with an impossible mortgage.
Now, just as I’m fighting to put my life back together, I find an unusual bottle with a note inside: “You get one wish. Make it count.” Har har. Someone’s idea of a joke?
But nothing could prepare me for what comes next or for the screamin’ hot man with piercing blue eyes who shows up at my door, making demands.
I should slam the door in his sex-god face, because this guy has trouble written all over him. But I can’t. Suddenly I do have a wish…

Polkadoodles' Digi Choosday - Week 9: Anything Goes!

Good morning everyone! It's Choosday already! That means a new Digi Choosday challenge, and a new DISCOUNT CODE for the Polkadoodles shop! Head over to the blog to grab it before your shopping spree!



Today's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes! For my CAS project this week, I wanted to celebrate Mom in a BIG way! To that end, I've used one of the precolored Word Art pieces from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles for the focal point, and kept a spring/pastel color scheme. 

I cut this image (and the flowers) out with my Scan n Cut - so easy! That way I was able to add dimension with foam squares to bring some depth to the card. The floral embellishments I've added here are from Winnie Fruit Punch and Work and Play 12. My heart stencil is from Time for Tea Designs - Masking Stencil: Large Heart and my sequins are a large assortment I found at Tuesday Morning. I've used Distress Oxide Inks in Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass, along with my Blender Brushes, to create the background effect.

Don't forget to head over to the blog to grab today's discount code! Then shop your heart out. Choosday is the best day!
