The Five Wishes Series by Elise Sax are 5 extremely fun short stories that are perfect for summer vacation or a holiday week-end. Each story involves the heroine making a wish by throwing a coin into a dry fountain in the middle of a small-town square. Not one of the wishes comes true in the literal sense, but each story ends happily, with many chuckles and laugh out loud moments throughout.
The stories vary from basically a classic “opposites attract” story, a marriage of convenience story, a long-time friend turns lover story, and a famous actor falls for local girl story. While all the stories have sexual tension, they vary on how much sex is in them. Thankfully there is not too much graphic details in any of them that is drawn out for pages and pages. Despite the stories being relatively short and running about 2 hours each, they are well written for the genre and immensely entertaining.
I listened to the Audible version of this series narrated by Angie Hickman who did an excellent job giving each character their own voice. She had great intonation and pace and delivered the quick snarky comments with aplomb. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. I can’t wait to listen to the next audiobook by Elise Sax and narrated by Angie Hickman!
