A city girl looking for love and adventure hopes her wishes will come true in Wishful, California—in this romance by the New York Times–bestselling author.
Numbers cruncher Katie Kramer has been a good girl all her life and yet
she’s never found a place to fit in. So now, at rock bottom and her
wit’s end, she’s wishing for some good karma. Staring up at the night
sky—which is barely visible in LA—she falls asleep dreaming about a
twinkling, falling star, and makes three wishes: The first is to
experience a real-life adventure complete with amazingly athletic feats
and danger. The second is for some good sex. And the third is to belong.
Really belong somewhere. Anywhere.
The next day Katie reads
an ad about a small, far-away mountain town named Wishful, and an
expedition company that needs a bookkeeper. Could it be a dream come
true? When Katie arrives in the quirky little town, she finds the
Getaway Inn . . . and Cameron Wilder. Cam’s lived a thousand lifetimes
in his thirty years, and there’s so much he wants to show Katie. Most of
all that there’s no way to escape karma.
5 STARS
I love me a good Shalvis story. Please forgive my English but that's just how I feel about this book. It didn't disappoint. This book showed all the issues that people were dealing with but was also filled with humor too. I liked the snappy conversations and I liked how they were worded. I often found myself giggling or laughing out loud because of them.
What a fun first meeting between Katie and Cameron. Loved the nickname Cam gave her of Goldilocks. I also loved how Katie's glasses always fogged up when she was around Hot Cameron. Heck, I liked the fact that the heroine of the piece actually wore glasses. And in-between the humor they sure did finally heat up the sheets. Katie also was a bit like a Calamity Jane with some of the stuff she found herself in.
Another person that was a unique but fierce person in the story was Annie. She was the young aunt who loved all her "boys". But they also were slightly afraid of her when she was full out the "little general." While trying to keep her family together she has her own issues.
Cam's brother Stone made me smile when he said that their small community should be called, "Mayberry with an Attitude." That sure fit.
The way the story ended made me happy.
I read this book through Libby, the Library App
