The Genie's Heartwish — Daisy Dexter Dobbs

In the musty basement of a historic mansion, thrift sale enthusiast Laila Malone rummages through estate sale castoffs and laughingly wonders if the ancient bottle she's just unearthed might be worth a fortune.Uncorking it, she gasps as an imposing, saber-wielding genie whooshes out in a vapor. With sun-bronzed muscles, long dark hair and hypnotic eyes, he's devastatingly handsome, the epitome of her fantasies. And he claims he's here to give her pleasure? Well hell, if she has to lose her mind, this is exactly the hallucination she wants.Five thousand years ago, Sumerian warrior Zakkar Tymon gallantly protected the virtue of a love struck virgin priestess, dooming him to an eternity of servitude to women. Reduced to being a slave to women's impulses, the bold, brave hero now exists solely to give women pleasure, act upon their every urge, and grant them three wishes before being sucked back into the cold, dark, empty abyss of the bottle.Zak's newest possessor, Laila, is an opinionated female who spouts gibberish, speaks into a handheld box, instantly cooks food in a magic contrivance, and wears male garb rather than flowing dresses more befitting a woman. Her considerable potential stirs Zak's desire to grant the wide-eyed beauty all the pleasure she deserves.Heartwishes, Book 2: Stubborn warrior hero with heart of gold, selfless devoted heroine, abundant humor, adorable dog, heartrending choices, snarky powerful goddess, fantasy, and a magnificent magical noble wish. This guaranteed HEA romcom can be read as a standalone but is better appreciated when read in order.
