**Reviewed as Book Reader Chronicles**
Another absolutely, fantabulous (yes, it’s a made up word) story from the fantastical mind of Kristen Ashley. If you’re hesitant of a paranormal story, don’t let the fact that there is a genie deter you from reading this amazing story. It’s a story of two people, who have both had their fair shares of tribulations just growing up, who meet and have to face even more trials as adults. It’s a story of a woman just wanting to find her “perfect” man, and a man trying to find something that he doesn’t believe he deserves. And it’s also a story about family, what one person does to hold a family together through the generations.
“Lily completely dismissed the idea of a man like Nate, a man who looked like Nate, a man who acted like Nate, a man who rode a motorcycle (like Nate), listening to his mother ever. All she could think about was his motorcycle.”
Fazire was first discovered by Lily Jacobs’ grandmother, Sarah. And Sarah wanted nothing to do with any of his three wishes so Fazire became a part of the Jacobs’ family which is something that Fazire, as a genie, had never had. When we meet Lily, she’s been bullied, badly, at school. Fazire goes to her to try to help her through it during one very particularly bad day when Lily decides to use a wish. She’s a lover of romance novels, and she wants nothing short of the perfect romance Hero. She wants a ruggedly handsome, narrow-hipped, man who is ruthless, but MUST above all things love her more than anything and think she’s the most beautiful girl in the world. Fazire grants her wish, but he, being an amazing genie, is almost too good with granting her wish.
“‘You know, Lily,’ his voice was deeper than normal, and harsh, as he pulled the jumper from her body, ‘you get in that bed with me and it’s anything like what I felt the first time I laid eyes on you, anything like when you first touched me, anything like that kiss in the park, I’m never letting you go. Do you understand me?'”
Nathaniel McAllister has had a very hard life. He’s been fending for his own food since he was a little boy by working for a gangster delivering product because his own mother is too busy being under the influence and bringing in men to take care of him. It’s when he meets the head boss after Nate’s on his own, still just a young child, that his boss takes him, and they treat him as if he’s their own flesh and blood. He’s ruthless in business, very handsome, and aware of how very “dirty” he is. He meets Lily, and against all of his instincts, he goes for her. But it wouldn’t be a great KA book unless there was something to tear them apart. And there was something; something huge. When Nate sees Lily again, years later, there’s things that need to be settled. A lot of things.
“‘You are beautiful, but I don’t love you because you’re beautiful.'”
I absolutely loved this story. It had the whimsical romance, the break-your-heart moments that made my heart literally ache, the tear-jerking that KA is known for (seriously, she’s the only author who can make me cry!), and the alpha-badassness of the Hero. When I read KA, I know that I’m in for a full-body read. I will feel this story in my mind, my heart, and my stomach. It takes you into the world with the very first page and you cannot escape until it’s over. And not even then, because her stories stay with you always. This book delivers in the very best way, and it will be a book, as all of hers are, that I re-read over and over again. Bravo, KA. Bravo.
