Maggie Yates possess a Masters of Science degree and a graduate assistantship in psychology. Two days before her wedding to the professor she assists, Maggie leaves him a message on his answering machine saying shed changed her mind and he should stay in L.A. In an equally impersonal response, Chet sends her a telegram saying he needs an assistant with whom he can work closely and he will find someone else.

With no money, no job and no plans, Maggies at a loss. Four weeks later a package arrives from her great aunt. Within is a jinn. They are now unexplainably linked as surely as he has a silver collar around his neck. Until Maggie banishes him to the obis or she dies, he belongs to her. Maggie thinks shes loosing her mind, although she cant help but admire the rather hunky, naked man that has mysteriously appeared in her bedroom. Now she has three wishes before he disappears forever.

But soon Tom, as the jinn calls himself, has his own wish. He wants to remain close to Maggie and keep her happy. From warming her toes to providing the most erotic nights of passion, hes happy to please, unlike with his previous masters whom only doled out cruelty. Now Tom hopes to trick Maggie out of her third wish until shes an old woman, so that he might enjoy living. He even finds himself wishing she might love him enough set him free.

Christine Murphy creates an entrancing romance in AT YOUR COMMAND. Certainly any woman would delight in the physical pleasures and potential for wishes that this sexy jinn presents. Yet theres a deeper motivation, as Maggies growth and maturity bring a sparkle to the tale, balanced by Toms sizzling journey to learning to love and trust humans. Sensual, evocative and amusing, AT YOUR COMMAND comes very highly recommended.

AT YOUR COMMAND isn't your normal jinni in a bottle story. Tom, our jinn, is doing his best to be released from his five thousand-year curse of servitude and torture. To do this he must trick his new master, Maggie, into setting him free. A couple of problems occur with his plan, one; she doesn't believe he's real and is being somewhat flighty with her three wishes and two; he is falling in love with her.

This is a fairly short story, really a novella more so than a novel, a quick read and I found to be a rather fun one. It's a nice average story that will help you kill a little time that will give you a chuckle and a bit of a 'Ahh' at the end. I definitely RECOMMEND it, a great one for a day at the pool this summer.

"Be careful what you wish for" may be the old adage, but heroine Maggie Yates wasnt exactly wishing for another man in her life --- especially a sexy jinn. She'd called off her wedding, spent weeks in bed, and wasnt expecting anything miraculous or wonderful to happen to her. Then, she opens the 50 yr.old package from her great aunt and gets the surprise of a naked man in her bed!
Tom, a bound genie, has a hard time convincing her he's the real thing and that she has three wishes coming. He's hoping she'll either delay those wishes or he can trick her into thinking she's used them so that he can remain out of his obis prison until she dies and he's sent back to wait for another master.
Christine Murphy has written a wonderfully whimsical book, full of moments of humor, moments of poignant emotions, and a very real heroine that reacts just the way you'd act if you were confronted with a jinn and three wishes.
Its a great, entertaining read!

This is a fun book with a very lovable, magical, and beautiful jinn named Tom. Only two complaints - Maggie's character was not as developed as I would have liked, and the book was too short! Other than that - if you enjoy fantasy-type romances, you will enjoy this book.
