Tabitha "Tab" Drake had briefly met Andrew "Drew" Bode a couple of months previously through a friend of a friend. Tab thinks he could be good-looking if he only knew how to dress; she would know: she's a stylist. Drew is CEO of Bode-Wynn, a military contracting firm, and fate has it that, in order for him to win a major contract he needs Tab's professional help, but not directly for himself. Tab's friend Jasmine, who works for Drew, has "volunteered" Tab to help Drew. However Tab's condition is that he agrees to let her reorganise his closet, and to put it mildly he's reluctant.
To begin with, I found the blurb for NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES a bit misleading, because the style makeover for Drew is not precisely what the story is about. On the other hand, NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES is much more than that: it's a great deal more original and interesting than what I anticipated; I was not expecting such an emotional and complex story. Drew is not a hopelessly poor dresser because he has no taste or the inclination; his grooming habits are intimately tied with events from his past. He's very rigid and shuns all forms of disorder, and it was interesting how an impulsive and lively character such as Tab dealt with him. Their mutual attraction is undeniable from the beginning, even though they are complete opposites, they cannot overlook the spark. However Drew doesn't seem to know how to relax and enjoy himself, or even care about anything but work; and Tab intends to change his outlook on life and love.
NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES features quite complex and very engaging characters, and the banter between friends Jasmine and Tab is very enjoyable; there are also some unanticipated plot twists. NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES is a young, sexy, fast paced, and very well written book.
