Can he break the curse that binds him? Or will he at long last lose his heart ... only to lose the woman he loves?
My review: Jamie has been through two husbands and a lifetime of pain and doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after although she and her two friends have just opened a bookstore of the same name. While cleaning in the attic, she uncovers a sword and when she pulls it forth, a man dressed as a pirate genie appears. At first, she thinks he’s a trick by her cousin but is stunned to hear him say that he will match her and her two friends with their soul mates. She bursts out in laughter but soon Sebastian is busy learning about the women and figuring out who would be their best match. Jamie wants no part of it and even confides in one of her friends what Sebastian has told her. They worry he might be escaped from the mental hospital. Then Marta meets an author when his dog follows her home. Coincidence? Tell that to Ree who has the unlikest pair: a former nephew of a man she helped with his finances who thought her to be a trollop after his uncle’s fortune. When their fences are mended and sparks fly, Jamie begins to worry. Especially since she only wants one man: Sebastian.
Sebastian is confused by his feelings for Jamie. He never experienced the depth of attraction he has for her in all his centuries of obeying the curse that binds him to the sword. When he reveals his feelings to Jamie, she is stunned, and then shaken. If he truly is bound to the sword, there can be no future for them. When all seems lost, the two search into his past, hoping to find a way to free him. But will the dark priestess let him go?
LOVED! It was just the right blend of romance and the storyline keeps you hooked till the end. The characters were all well-rounded. The romances intriguing. I’ve had this on my tbr shelf for a while. I’m only sorry I didn’t take it down sooner!

Donna Kauffman's book, Your Wish is My Command, is a romance with a twist. Jamie Sullivan finds an antique sword in her attic. When she slides the sword free of its scabbard, a "pirate" appears and claims that it is his job to find the soul mates of three people--Jamie and 2 of her friends. Sebastien, the pirate, was hexed by a voodoo priestess centuries ago. Now he will spend eternity bringing soul mates together. This book was a fun read because it was out of the ordinary and had a HEA!

Oh no!! Did I actually read this? Yes! and in public too. It was good for the airport, but oh god, not even a good romance novel as romance novels go! I like Donna Kauffman's new stuff for Saturday morning or bathtub reading...this was definitely not worth it!

I couldn't fully finish this. Not enough magic — too mundane. Not what I expected. I need more substance. Fell asleep while reading. Hate to give negative reviews. Probably great for average romance lovers. I just like more, and this wasn't it.

I thought it was a great love story with a little hint of the paranormal.

Fast, easy, fun and over all enjoyable read that takes one back to more simplistic look at the magic of true love and the power it wields.
