Summary: Pure Magic
Review: Darlene Scalera's first novel is the kind of great read American Romance just doesn't publish anymore. All Megan Kelly wanted was a crock pot. What she got was a sexy jinni (or a genie for us mere mortals) with an attitude. And it isn't long before Gino has turned her life completely upside down--and worked his way into her heart forever. For those of us who miss the "Heartbeat" stories American Romance used to sell, "A Man for Megan" is a welcome return to that kind of book. It really is--pardon the phrase--magical. For the most part, it's laugh-out-loud funny, and yet there are moments of such sheer beauty and romanticism that I was swept away (LOVED when Gino took Megan to various exotic locales in his attempt to get her to make her wishes...and she taught him a lesson or two about happiness). There are plenty of steamy moments, and the love story works up to a big emotional climax that's not to be missed. Scalera may be new, but she's got such a clear voice and strong ability at both humor and romance that I can't wait for her next book.

Review: From the back cover copy and front teaser, this looked like a standard "wealthy foreigner sweeps naive American girl off her feet" type of story. Then I read the opening line: "The walls surrounding Gilgamesh were smooth." Gilgamesh? I checked the back cover again. I checked the front. I checked the editor's dedication. Intrigued, I read on... and on... and finally put the book down at 3 am, after being unable to even consider stopping. This is a delightful genie romance, handled with deft wit and a knack for transforming the everyday into the absurd. (The genie is housed, not in a lamp, but in a crock pot.) Add to the mix a conflict straight out of the headlines, involving plant closings and hazardous waste, and you've got a real winner! This is Ms. Scalera's first book, and I look forward to reading many more by her.
