Format:Mass Market Paperback
The rational Dylan meets the pixie Seraphina -- and can't believe his eyes. She can make wishes happen by manipulating the events around her. But he refuses to believe in her -- he's a businessman about to marry the "right" woman, so he's not willing to accept the existence of pixies.
Seraphina's attempts to carry off the wishes result in slapstick humor. Lots of fun. However, the ending of this book goes off on a suspenseful tangent that doesn't jive with the humorous plot.
Seraphina is lots of fun. However, the other pixies are hard to take. Like magical creatures of legend, they are often selfish and immature. Also, most of the human secondary characters needed more depth.
I gave this book a B- at All About Romance.

Dylan Stonehouse is upset when Constance Vandermeer chooses to marry the upstart Richard Niedner over him. Dylan, whose family is the largest shareholder of the Stonehouse Department Store chain, expects trouble after Richard marries Constance and obtains the proxy to control the Vandermeer shares of stock in the department store chain.
On the eve of the nuptials, Richard starts drinking by himself at a Stonehouse estate. He begins to talk to the painting of Seraphina just like he did when his parents died when he was six years old. This time things are different as he magically draws Seraphina from the portrait into a real body. She explains that she is a half-breed pixie, trapped by her half-brother inside the painting. For freeing her, she grants him three wishes as her pixie magic allows her to manipulate luck in a Rube Goldberg sort of way. As she works on his wishes, Dylan and Seraphina fall in love. However, once she completes his second wish, he will be married to Constance.
Pixies feel like another humanoid species in the ultra-talented writings of Ingrid Weaver. The story line is humorous, especially the gyrations needed to complete the wishes. Anyone who dreams of reading an enjoyable, whimsical romantic fantasy has gotten their wish granted with A WISH AND A DREAM.
