PLOT SYNOPSIS: 

Maya Hughes wants a child, but years of trying destroyed her marriage and left Maya unwilling to give her heart to another man.

REVIEW: 

Maya Hughes is a divorced career woman whose only regret is that she does not have a child.  Being such a family oriented person, her one wish is to have a child of her own.  A failed marriage has filled her with self doubt, but the maternal yearning has never gone away.

Maya’s neighbors are Dr. Nicolas Whitfield and his seven year old daughter Taylor.  Taylor has never known her mother and desperately wants a “mommy”, and Dr. Nick wants his daughter to be happy.  If you think that these three coming together is predictable you’re absolutely right, but I enjoyed every minute of this book!!

In THREE WISHES, Ms Glass pulls us into the lives of Maya, Nick, and Taylor.  These three individuals so perfectly suited for each other that we’re routing for them to work it out by chapter 2.

Ms. Glass has written another interracial story, however, the interracial aspect does not overshadow the characters or their love for each other.  THREE WISHES is a great love story.  Both Nick and Maya are strong, loving individuals who have had to deal with failed relationships.  Their trust factor is shaky, but they are honest, mature individuals who want to work through their doubts.  What a refreshing and welcomed factor in today’s romance market.  I truly enjoyed watching these two fall in love. 

Maya’s compassion and love for children endears her to your heart immediately.  And Nick – it’s hard not to love a man who has tears in his eyes when he first tells you he loves you.  His almost reverent love for Maya leaps out at us from the pages.

The hero and heroine’s contrasting families add both sympathy and conflict to the story.  But again, Ms. Glass’ talent does not allow the different viewpoints to overshadow the love story.  

THREE WISHES is Ms. Glass’ third work and she has proven to be consistent with the quality of her stories.  She writes about memorable characters with whom the reader can fall in love.
