Book Description

Publication Date: January 30, 2001

"For every soul there is one true mate."

So says Sebastien Valentin, a former privateer destined to spend eternity bringing soul mates together. Hexed by a voodoo priestess nearly two centuries ago, he is summoned by anyone who unsheathes the Sword of Hearts....

Former powerboat racing champion Jamie Sullivan has seen enough of the world that she doesn't believe in happy endings. And she certainly doesn't believe in the costumed pirate who appears after she draws the antique sword she discovers in her attic—or his claim that he will match three people with their soul mates. And the third will be Jamie herself...

.A notorious rake whose resistance to love sealed his fate, Sebastien has a surprising gift for pairing lovers for a lifetime. He introduces Jamie's two closest friends to the happiness only true love brings. But when it comes time to find a union for the unique spirit he has discovered in Jamie Sullivan, Sebastien cannot imagine this fiery woman with anyone ... but himself.

Can he break the curse that binds him? Or will he at long last lose his heart ... only to lose the woman he loves?

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun paranormal romance, February 7, 2001

This review is from: Your Wish Is My Command (Mass Market Paperback)

Though only springtime, the air conditioner in her new home-store, a nineteenth century Creole townhouse, in the French Quarter of New Orleans failed her. Jamie Sullivan searches for an extension cord in the attic, an area she and her to partners had no time to clean up before as they concentrated on opening the bookstore-restaurant. In the attic, Jamie notices an old trunk that she cannot resist looking into with visions of treasure dancing in her mind. However, the cache turns out to be Mardi Gras junk with the exception of an antique sword. She almost kills the suddenly appearing man who looks like a pirate.

Sebastian Valentin insists that Jamie holds the "Sword of Hearts." Furthermore, he guarantees that and her two compatriots will soon find true love. Besides wondering how this lunatic got into her home, Jamie insists she only needs an extension cord, not true love. Soon Sebastian and Jamie begin to fall in love, a violation of the rules of the genie union.

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND is actually three magical romances in one entertaining novel. The story line is fun and often amusing as the characters leave the audience not only believing at least in this genie, but also dreaming of this hunk of a magical being. Donna Kauffman writes a genial enchanting tale that will enthrall sub-genre fans with the quest to find more of the author's whimsical novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great time, March 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Wish Is My Command (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved the book. It was a great read, fast, funny and full of what I love about Donna Kauffman. I enjoyed meeting all the characters and especially loved watching how Sebastien worked them all. The paranormal aspects were fun and inspired. The scene where Sebastien faces the woman that cursed him to his life as a genie was one of my favorites. Where else can you get so much fun packed into one book. Thanks for the great time.

This review is from: Your Wish Is My Command (Mass Market Paperback)

`You Wish is my Command' by Donna Kauffman is very unique mystical romance novel. The main character Jamie finds magic swords that summons a pirate genie to find soul mates for three people. The story unfolds a sweet and heartbreaking romance of Jamie and her soul mate Sebastian (aka the pirate genie.) This was a fun and offbeat read.
