Summary: Three Wishes by Seressia Glass
Review: I just love everything about this book. The intelligence, the romance, the intimacy, the maturity and above all the simplicity of the way the 2 main characters meet. Nick and Maya develope a relationship that as a reader I was rooting for even through conflict. When ever I read an I/R novel that is lacking any kind of redeeming quality and I wonder why any editor and publisher would even want to be associated with such,"crap" and I'm left on the verge of giving up on the I/R genre all together, I always manage to some how read "Three Wishes" again and get a glimmer of hope for the genre once more. Thank you Seressia Glass for understanding the basics.

Summary: She's done it again!
Review: I'm highly pleased with the work that has been put out by Ms. Glass thus far. "Three Wishes"(according to my knowledge)was just a satisfying as "No Commitment Required". The characters were believable, the story line strong, and overall it was written like the author cared. I'm anxiously awaiting Ms. Glass next paperback! If you haven't picked up a book by Ms. Glass, please don't hesitate. In my opinion she and Sandra Kitt are two of the best, along with Gwynne Forrester, for the avid interracial romance reader.

Summary: old fashioned, delightful contemporary romance
Review: In Grant Park, children's software programmer Maya Hughes comes home in a steady downpour when she notices a child soaked and waiting at her neighbor's home. She invites seven-year-old Taylor Whitfield to dry off and warm up in her place until her father, a surgeon, comes home. Though they met once before, Maya coaxes the child into her house with the help of her dog Hamlet and her don't call me a cat Horatio.Taylor's father, Dr. Nick Whitfield, hurries home when he learns that his daughter's caretaker was hospitalized due to an accident. Nick and Maya are attracted to one another and the precocious Taylor pushes them closer to each other. However, she spent seven years failing to have a child, which resulted in her marriage ending while he fears falling in love ever since his first wife died during childbirth. Readers who wish for an old fashioned, delightful contemporary romance need look no further than Seressia Glass' warm tale. Two individuals deserving of love, but almost phobic about avoiding the risk makes for a fine story especially with charming protagonists like the lead couple. Though Taylor acts too wise for her age at times, the hearts of fans will reach out to her. Fans will value this appealing novel. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Love found in stormy weather
Review: Maya Hughes and Nic Whitfield didn't think his seven year old little girl would bring them together put she does in her own way. Three wishes is a very touching romance about two people who were set to spent the lives without finding love again. Until a little girl left out in the rain brings them together in more ways than one. This book is an excellent interracial romance. It has a lot of emotions and feelings throughout the book. Once you pick it up you won't put it down. This is a keeper.

Summary: Three's the Charm
Review: Out of the two books that I've read of Seressia Glass, Three Wishes is the best thus far. I feel she has created characters who encompass more depth this time around. The story involves Two characters who become acquainted with one another through the male protagonist's daughter. Maya, a computer software designer meets up with next door neighbor, Nick, doctor and father to seven year old Taylor, after she comes to the little girl's rescue. Maya falls for her because she's under the assumption that she can't have children of her own. She sees Taylor as the child she can never have. While at the same time, Taylor has placed Maya in the role of mother, something she doesn't have and badly wants. In the beginning, the daughter is the catalyst binding the two protagonists together. Eventually, however, they fall in love on their own. Three Wishes includes just enough turmoil to keep the story interesting throughout. This couple had to not only deal with the issue of race (Maya is black, while Nick is White), but deception as well. Life is not perfect, which makes the story more real. Both characters had secrets that they kept from one another, with one really being a huge bombshell. One also gets the sense that this man and woman truly love one another. And it was a love that we got to see build over time, and not one in which boy meets girl, boy and girl talk, then boy and girl become engaged. Yes, Nick was somewhat mesmerized by Maya, as she was by him, but they were allowed to sort out those feelings. Also, we were treated to a relatively nice degree of sexual intimacy between the two (not too much, not too little). Admittedly, you'll find some similar plot devices that have shown up in previously released romance novels (i.e., widowed father with daughter in need of mother, who crosses path with woman who happens to be extremely close to her family). Nonetheless, my guess is you'll absolutely love Three Wishes.

Summary: Another Must-Have!
Review: Seressia is one of my favorite authors in the interracial romance category and I am so glad that she has come out with this book.
Maya and Nick are next door neighbors who have never really had much contact until his nanny has an accident, doesn't show up and Maya comes home from work and sees his eight year old daughter, Taylor, soaking wet and sitting on the porch in the rain. She contacts Nick ( a surgeon) through his answering service and that's when the real action begins.
Initially miffed at him for letting Taylor sit out in the rain, Maya chides him for not having his cell phone on or at least keeping his battery charged. He, on the other hand, is really nervous about Taylor being over Maya's house when he doesn't really know her, but he has not choice than to trust her until he can get home from the hospital. However, once he gets to her house, looks at Maya, sees Taylor's response to her and eats a great home cooked meal by this children's software developer, he's hooked.
They both face demons from their past marriages and the inevitable problems of an interracial couple trying to live their lives in a world that still has a few racist [people]. But, the author has tons of great subplots like Maya's mixed heritage, Nick's racist mother, the princess club and passion that keep you reading it until the happy ending! I think that you'll like this one.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: The best character in this book was the little girl and that's saying something when this is supposed to be a romance between two adults. There were some sweet moments between the adult characters, but I didn't really feel that there was a connection between them.
I give this book three stars because the dialogue was good and I really did like that little girl's character.
