He needs to change his luck, and fast!
Matt Ewing would gladly hunt down a fortune in lucky pennies if he thought it would help save his business. But for all his hoping, Matt’s clueless when his long-awaited lucky charm falls in his lap in the form of a beguiling genie. He just can’t believe that this beautiful woman could be the answer to his prayers…
She’s been bottled up for far too long!
Spending 2,000 years in a bottle would make any woman a little stir-crazy. So when Matt releases Eden from her luxurious captivity, she’s thrilled to repay him by giving him the magical boost he needs…
But for all her good intentions, Eden’s magical prowess is a little rusty and her magical mistakes become more than embarrassing. And though Eden knows falling in love will end her magic and immortality, she can’t help but be drawn to the one man who wants her just for herself…
Praise for I Dream of Genies:
From Publishers’ Weekly, Starred Review.
Cute as a pink Persian kitten, this scamper of a romance is populated by a whimsical cast of characters: Humphrey the baby dragon, Obo the talking cat, a villainous vizier, a cross-dressing High Master genie, the Egyptian goddess Bastet, and a hunky carpenter. Centuries-old genie Eden (her name one of several nods to the book’s namesake TV show) escapes her bottle only to fall for Matt Ewing, the handsome jogger she’s been watching from her glass prison’s position in the window of Murphy’s Antiques. When Eden’s magic malfunctions, the nonstop cinematic gee-whiz results will keep the reader enraptured. Fennell (Catch of a Lifetime) also tosses in sultry sex scenes, a bubble-gum-sweet but passionate romance, quick-moving action, and a variety of puns and riddle-making beasts, many of which are sure to reappear in the two planned sequels.

From Booklist
Sentenced to 3,000 years in her bottle for the accidental death of her master, Eden finds herself unexpectedly free after only 1,797 years. And in the lap of handsome and sexy millwright Matt Ewing, whom she has desired since first seeing him walk by the dusty secondhand-shop window where she was ensconced. Now Matt, Eden, and Obo the cat must search for the elements(bracelets, bottle, and bottle stopper) that will free her forever from the evil and disgusting Vizier Faruq’s plans to sexually enslave her. Fennell’s sexy contemporary romp, set variously on the West Coast and the legendary Al-Jannah, takes its cue from Barbara Eden’s indelible television role, but with enough original touches, careful research, and world building to make this tale–the first in a trilogy set around jinn wrongly accused under an archaic legal system–pure fun. –Lynne Welch
