Fresh Fiction Review

As You Wish
Gabi Stevens

Reviewed by Vicky Gilpin
Posted June 3, 2011

Romance Paranormal

Gabi Stevens's novel, AS YOU WISH, pulls the reader in quickly---I'll admit to doing a brief scan of the first few pages to decide when to read the work and finding myself with chilled coffee and tired knees since I forgot to sit down! The characterization is just excellent and immediately tugs the reader into the events as quickly as they are dropped on the protagonist Reggie Scott's head! Reggie's lived her life as the nonmagical one in a magical family, and she's had success with her nonmagical aspirations. However, when the role of fairy godmother is quickly thrust upon her ---with no directions--- Reggie has to rework her entire worldview, her relationships with her parents and sister, and keep an eye out for those who might want to use her new abilities to help themselves, people like Johathan Bastion. However, with help coming from surprising places, Reggie has to learn whether or not to trust those people who are supposed to protect her in addition to learning to trust herself. As far as the novel is concerned, most readers should eagerly read the previous books, As You Wish and The Wish List, and anticipate Gabi Stevens next book. I know I will! In addition, 10% of the proceeds of this book go to Best Buddies (www.bestbuddies.org) to support their programs: Best Buddies helps people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities gain important social skills by pairing people with IDD with peer mentors.

SUMMARY

Born into a magical family, Reggie Scott is content to live out her life as a normal human until the moment she’s informed that she’s a newly appointed fairy godmother. Left struggling to deal with powers the never thought she’d have, Reggie faces a curse, a plot to overthrow the Arcani, and an entirely too enthusiastic mother—all in a matter of days. Jonathan Bastion is a man of power and wealth—and a dangerous secret. He desperately hopes that Reggie's new powers will hold the answer to his problem and he isn't above using her to achieve his goals. What he doesn't expect is how much Reggie will affect him. Her honor, her honesty, and her strength quickly make cracks in his ruthless exterior. As danger from the Arcani swirls around them both, Jonathan realizes that what was once a ploy to get Reggie to assist him has become a battle to keep her safe and protected…in his arms.
