Summary: Yawn.
Review: This is one of those books where the back cover pretty much tells it all. And the book doesn't add anything. The hero is predictable - bad boy trying to make good. The heroine is predictable - little rich girl trying to make good. A brief encounter in their youth and all of a sudden they're star-crossed lovers. I don't buy it. When critics say romance is formulaic, *this* is what they're talking about.It's not that I disliked any of the characters. I just didn't *like* them. I felt nothing towards them. Hero loves heroine. Yawn. Heroine pines for hero. Ho hum. It was as if Miller was going through the motions without adding any feeling into the book. The only reason I gave it two stars was because I didn't *hate it*. I mean, I didn't throw it at the wall... I just didn't care to turn the page. When I want to read a great Western, give me a Lorraine Heath over this any day. Then I'll get characters I care about and a storyline that will break my heart. One Wish, on the other hand, was thoroughly forgetable.

Summary: totally kool
Review: this was a wonderful tale of a young woman who grew up on a farm and was a very pretty. Then one day, a young man, whom she knew because he had saved her life when she was a child and she had promised him one wish, showed up in the little town where she was living. They soon fall in love, much to her father's disappointment that she didn't marry and old friend of her's.

Summary: Okay, but kinda long
Review: Well, to tell you guys the truth, I didn't really expect the book to turn out the way it turned out. Oh, the story is okay, actually, not bad. A good read. But somehow it is not keeping to the title 'One wish'. The wish was reiterated at the end, like some sort of an afterthought - it was as if Miss Miller suddenly remembered the title and decided to hastily conclude the story with it. And I don't like it when the Shardlow left and divorced his wife simply because of his notorious family name, only to come back to her a year later. If I were the woman, I'd slap and berate him first before accepting him with open arms. I mean, how DARED he put the woman in such a miserable, melancholic situation and asked her to marry another man just because he didn't think she would carry his name proudly????? All in all, it's a pretty okay story, actually, but rather meandering. I found myself skipping some pages.
