“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 … 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.

I read Elise’s book(s) on an airplane ride earlier this year (yep, the one where my eardrum burst) and laughed so hard. Her voice and her comedic timing are perfect. NOTE: her book had nothing to do with my eardrum rupturing LOL. In fact, having something to laugh at was a big help!
Or, should I say, “Elp!”
(Read the books to get the joke).
Elise Sax makes love a fantastic adventure. Five Wishes brings the funny. Time flies when your having fun and this collection is a laugh out loud, smartly tempting, irresistible find.
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 …
I always know that when I pick up a book by Elise Sax that I’m guaranteed some rib busting laughs and tons of swoon-worthy moments. These stories did not disappoint! They were sweet and charming and the characters were so endearing and relatable that it was impossible to avoid loving them.
Fans of fun, sexy romance will love this series.
