Wish
Bitchy witches. A thirty-year-old virgin. A summoning gone wrong.In a coven full of snarky sexpots, Melody Chambers is a joke. Her attempts at magic can best be described as a series of spectacular screw-ups, and it’s all because she hasn’t fully embraced her womanhood despite her age. If she doesn’t unlock her full potential soon, her magic could be lost forever. So, her meddlesome but well-meaning familiar suggests they use a love potion to summon a lover to fix her situation. Mel’s been holding out for Mr. Perfect, but she has no idea what to do with him when that’s exactly what she gets after trying to summon an average joe to help her get rid of her virginity problem. Darius is everything she's ever wished for in a man, except he's an incubus and she knows he's way out of her league. The longer Darius is around, the harder it is for Mel to decide what she wants more: to unleash her magic, or to hang on to Mr. Perfect for as long as she can.Readers who love the Carina Press Sexy Bits line for its short, sexy reads and those who love the quirky, magical hilarity of Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton's Lizzy and Diesel series will devour this Supernatural South standalone novelette.One-click this enchanting romantic comedy today to discover your new favorite book boyfriend! #dariusforever

Melody is supposed to be the most powerful witch in the coven with being the daughter of the previous coven leader, but she needs to have sex to come in to her powers. In the meantime, she is bullied and ridiculed by the other coven members who sound like a pack of socialite sorority girls. So, on the advice of Granny (the former coven wise woman, now turned into a cat after her death), she mixes a potion to summon a lover. She winds up with a gorgeous and powerful incubus, who has decided that Melody is just what he wants in a woman, if she can only accept the idea that she might actually be someone stronger and more desirable than she originally thought.
You’ll notice that I never once mentioned a wish in my description of the book. I honestly have no idea why it was titled “Wish”. I was actually expecting a genie to pop up at some point, but they never did (sadly, since I love genies and was hoping, based on the title alone). But enough about what it wasn’t. What it was, was a lot of Melody getting bullied (and here I thought bullying was contained to school books), and most of the rest of the book was Melody obsessing about sex and mostly her insecurities about it (the romance was practically a footnote). I was hoping for more to the plot than just talking about sex. I was also annoyed by the occasional use of certain four-letter words and the use of the b-word. Whenever authors use those words, it shows off the class of the characters, and honestly, I always pick up a book expecting for better. And the characters don’t come across as being 30s. The coven girls sounded more like college-age sorority girls, and Melody sounded the same age as them. The best character in this was Granny. Loved her sense of humor, and attitude, and determination even though she was stuck as a cat. The incubus was okay. He was what you expect for the romantic interest in an indie book: lust at first sight, cares about the heroine, ridiculously hot, willing to stand up for the heroine, and a nice guy over all with a dash of magical powers since this is a fantasy book, etc. Nothing that really made him stand out from the other indie book boyfriends. And once she got her powers, nothing. It built the story up to that moment, but then nothing really happened once she got her powers as if it wasn’t that important. I did like the heroine for her awkwardness and the guy was trying to re-evaluate what he wanted beyond just being an incubus. And I loved the bayou setting, though we didn’t get to see much of it.

Quick
It's like it skipped all the parts of the story that allow you to really know the characters and feel for them. It was a few quick scenes patched together and boom love. It doesn't even tell what happens when she gets her full powers. The world building is barely there and character development is nil. Not really worth it.
