About this ebook
"Elise Sax will win your heart." --Jill Shalvis
"Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic suspense will enjoy this author as she joins the ranks of Janet Evanovich, Katie MacAllister, and Jennifer Crusie."--Booklist
The Five Wishes Series is five hot and hilarious novellas about wishes that go terribly wrong…fortunately. Each novella is roughly 100 pages with NO cliffhanger. Five Wishes...A happy ending is just a coin toss away.
Book 1: Going Down:
Marion MacAlister wants to nail her audition, not get nailed. Truly. Honestly. All right...maybe she does want to get nailed, but that's just because her hottie landlord and local diner owner Mack Ryan is confusing her. Can friends become lovers? Especially friends who might not even be friends in the first place?
Book 2: Man Candy:
Raine Harper is in love with Wade Gates. But Wade likes women who are model thin, and Raine is model thin plus a whole lot of pounds. Desperate to make him love her, she trains just a little too hard and passes out in the arms of superstar movie star Dirk Adams. Dirk thinks Raine’s junk in the trunk is perfect and proposes to make Wade jealous by becoming her pretend boyfriend. Pretend soon seems very real. Is Dirk a great actor, or is something really developing between Raine and the movie star?
Book 3: Hot Wired:
Marie Foster is not a cheater. Nevertheless, she gets thrown out of college for doing just that. With her life turned upside down, she decides to try new things. You know…Get drunk in a bar. Pick up a guy. Marry a stranger, who just happens to be a hot billionaire.
Book 4: Just Sacked:
Layla has been working at her family’s bar since she was five years old. But it’s more than a bar. It’s home. Now with her family gone and debts piling up, her bar is repossessed and taken over by local businessman Hank Taylor. Hank offers Layla a deal: If she can win a drinking contest, she can have the bar back. Layla’s never lost a drinking contest in her life, but after an evening swigging back whiskey, she and Hank wake up together, naked and handcuffed in Mexico. Getting home offers dangerous adventure, and it’s a toss up whether Hank and Layla will get back before they kill each other or fall in love.
Book 5: Wicked Ride:
Fiona Jones has never killed anyone, but there’s a first for everything. Still, maybe she shouldn't have hired Ronin—a sexy killer with a wicked motorcycle-- who’s giving her more than her share of attention.

Audio-book: Narrator – Angie Hickman Ms. Hickman did a freaking amazing job of giving voice to the characters in this series! With a cute and sweet tone, perfect fluctuation and spot on for all the zappy one liners, I have never been more entertained than I was while listening to her narrate these fun, cute, sexy stories. How did I not know that a voice like this could be so totally enjoyable?! Going Down I absolutely LOVED this quick, spicy, cute as heck novella!!! Marion was so dramatic and quirky. I loved everything about her. She was completely adorable. Mack has been her “not really friend” land lord and diner operator that feeds her for two years. They have a snarky little relationship that borders on the edge of intense attraction that Marion has been trying to avoid. Now, her day just got derailed and Mack is there to help steer it in his direction. There were so many laugh out loud moments that anyone around would’ve thought I’d lost my mind. This is my first by this author and holy heck…I definitely need more! Man Candy I loved Raine! She was so quirky and cute and when she was in a pickle she reacted in the most delightful ways. She’s been in love with a boy from school all her life but he doesn’t even know her name. When the handsome actor Dirk Adams steps in to play the pretend boyfriend, all kinds of chaos ensues. Raine’s family was a riot and I loved how the jumped Dirk. There were so many fun scenes here but I don’t want to spoil them for you. You definitely need to read this one to enjoy all the humor that I’m learning is a true talent of this author. Hot Wire Marie has been tossed out on her ear after being accused of plagiarizing her dissertation. The only thing to do now is get drunk. That leads to a one night stand that leads to oh so much more in a marriage-of-convenience kind of way. I’m sure Jared didn’t know exactly what he was getting himself into with Marie but their story is hot and spicy, short and sweet and so freaking cute. Lots of laugh out loud moments! Just Sacked Layla grew up in her family’s bar. It’s all that she has. When some fink claims that he now owns the bar she’s determined to do anything to keep it. A drinking competition ends Layla and Hank, the fink, handcuffed in Mexico and what follows is a hilarious series of events as they try to get back home. Layla was a bit tougher than previous heroine’s in this series, but she still had that snarky, forthright attitude that I’ve come to love. Wicked Ride Fiona is a sweet innocent farm girl who is out to kill someone. With the help of Ronin she will succeed and free her family from their villainous neighbor. Unfortunately, Ronin is turning out to be a complete dud. You would think I hired killer would be more blood thirsty but Ronin seems to be trying to figure out if the crazy woman is real or if he’s dreaming it all. This was another cute installment in the series and I loved how Fiona let her blood thirst fly…up to a point. This one has a lot of action and a bit of a mystery. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
