Book Description:
Cocky, handsome Aussie RAF pilot Gene O'Neill was shot down over North Africa in 1942. But after he seduced his host's concubine, he was transformed into a jinni and spent the next 60-plus years waiting for someone to release him from his bottle. So imagine exhausted new single mother Ravine's surprise when she opens the new Diaper Genie thoughtfully provided by her mother, to discover a real jinni materializing before her, prepared to grant her three wishes. But trouble is brewing in rural Noxen, Pennsylvania, and Ravine is involved. Gene, very much a man of his time, is protective of the woman he considers his, but Ravine shrugs off his concern until she realizes her family is in danger. Finn's paranormal romance provides fast-paced entertainment, and the various subplots involving nefarious attempts to gain control of large spreads of farmland, relatives with domestic troubles, and Ravine's mother's second-chance romance add depth and complexity to this new twist on Aladdin's lamp.

This book is what I like to call "paranormal lite". There is a small aspect of it that's paranormal, but the rest is contemporary romance.
Ravine is a lawyer that left her high-paying job with a large legal firm in Philadelphia when she became pregnant by a man she'll never see again. She moves back home to Noxem (her home town) and struggles to support herself and her son with help from her mother and large extended family. The paranormal aspect is introduced when Ravine receives a "diaper genie" from her mother. Lo and behold, it contains an ACTUAL genie. Gene to be specific. The rest of the book is interestingly and humorously dedicated to the romance between Ravine and her genie and her struggles to make a new career for herself in her small town.
This book is told from the first person, which isn't always my favorite thing, but I did enjoy it. Just not keeper.

Cute book. Just wouldn't call it a normal paranormal book. Very easy to read, breezed thru it in a couple of hours.

Clever storyline. Fun and fast read!
I just found that this author also writes under the pen name, Savannah Russe. She is the author of the bestselling vampire series called The Darkwing Chronicles: Beyond the Pale, Book One (June 2005), Past Redemption, Book Two (April 2006), Beneath the Skin, Book Three ( February, 2007), In the Blood (November, 2007), and Under Darkness (June 2008).

If you believe in Genies or just believe that wishes can come true then you have to read this book.
A great book that is fast read with plenty of action and lots of love.

a quick read, no-brain required... which is nice sometimes! A genie named Gene??? It was a fun read but you're getting the idea. :)
