Publisher Description

With her signature charm and sense of humor, bestselling author Helena Hunting creates a novel about love, family, and second chances in Make a Wish.

Ever have a defining life moment you wish you could do over? Harley Spark has one. The time she almost kissed the widowed father of the toddler she nannied for. It was so bad they moved across the state and she never saw them again.

Fast forward seven years and she’s totally over it. At least she thinks she is. Until Gavin Rhodes and his adorable now nine-year-old daughter, Peyton, reappear at a princess-themed birthday party hosted by Spark House, Harley’s family’s event hotel. Despite trying to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, she can’t help but notice how unbearably sexy he looks in a tutu. Add to that a spontaneous hives breakout, and it’s clear she’s not even remotely over the mortification of her egregious error all those years ago.

Except Gavin seems oblivious to her inner turmoil. So much so that he suggests they get together for lunch. For Peyton’s sake, of course. It’s the perfect opportunity to heal old wounds. Or it could just reopen them. This is one of those times Harley wishes she could see the future…

So cute!

I adore single parent books. I just like that added element to a new budding relationship. I also love seeing the hero being a dad. Gavin and Peyton's relationship was really special, and Peyton played a really big role in this book. She was adorable and I also loved her relationship with Harley.

I'm not the biggest fan of long separations in books, but in this case it made sense. Harley was young and Gavin was grieving. It made sense that they needed time before exploring that spark they had from the beginning. Once they reunited, it was like there wasn't years that separated them. They had a lot to still work through but the chemistry was there from the start.

It was so good to see the last sister find her true love and have that happily ever after that Avery and London found in their story. I just loved all three sisters and really enjoyed this series.

A strong finish to the Spark House trilogy!

I am a huge fan of this author. Her ability to write stories about very real characters with their insecurities, emotional struggles, strength, and bravery is as present here a in all of her novels, where she blends her humor with emotion to create stories that make me fall in love with them. I also love the way she writes children with all their exuberance and love for life as well as their own emotional needs. Then nine-year old child and her single dad are impossible not to fall in love with in this story. Harley didn’t stand a chance of avoiding them. The strong bond between the sisters is just as present in this story as the two preceding ones and the backdrop of the continuous changes with their family event space added depth to Harley’s character and her place in her family. The narrators did an exemplary job narrating Gavin and Harley’s POV. I have experienced this entire series by audiobook and feel that they really added to my enjoyment of these books. I wouldn’t miss out on reading this story! I am voluntarily submitting this review after reading sn advanced complementary copy of this audiobook.

Outstanding

Just wow! I starting reading around 11pm and finished this book in one sitting! I usually wait to process what I read before I write a review but….again, just wow! To give you a frame of reference it’s now 5:45am.

It extremely rare for me to literally shed tears but OMG I lost it and became a blubbering mess near the end. Not because it’s sad but because the writing is that AMAZING!

Helena you’ve outdone yourself! I’m putting ’Make a Wish’ as one of my top reads of all time.

To read this-cover to cover-in one sitting says so much about Helena. The writing was raw, real and so beautifully crafted. I feel like I’m now part of Gavin and Harley’s family. I learned about their pasts, their fears and dreams. Feelings were validated. There was no angst and the romance felt natural.

Helena wrote about passion, grief and joy. It’s the kind of book I was able to immerse myself into. Over 6 hours later I can say that I feel complete. The epilogue. Oh dear, what a fantastic epilogue.

This book is an absolute must read.
