With her signature charm and sense of humor, bestselling author Helena Hunting creates a novel about love, family, and second chances in Make a Wish…

Ever have a defining life moment you wish you could do over? Harley Spark has one. The time she almost kissed the widowed father of the toddler she nannied for. It was so bad they moved across the state and she never saw them again.

Fast forward seven years and she’s totally over it. At least she thinks she is. Until Gavin Rhodes and his adorable now nine-year-old daughter, Peyton, reappear at a princess-themed birthday party hosted by Spark House, Harley’s family’s event hotel. Despite trying to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, she can’t help but notice how unbearably sexy he looks in a tutu.  Add to that a spontaneous hives breakout, and it’s clear she’s not even remotely over the mortification of her egregious error all those years ago.

Except Gavin seems oblivious to her inner turmoil. So much so that he suggests they get together for lunch. For Peyton’s sake, of course. It’s the perfect opportunity to heal old wounds. Or it could just reopen them. This is one of those times Harley wishes she could see the future…

Review

4 stars!

I love the Spark House series and I desperately wanted Harley, the youngest of the Spark sisters, to find love after both her sisters found their own happily-ever-afters. Make a Wish gives us just what we needed in this a second chance, single dad romance, and it is so good.

Gavin lost his wife in childbirth and was heartbroken. Needing help with his newborn, Peyton, he hired Harley and she was an integral part of their lives. But just as quickly as they came into Harley’s life, they were gone. It affected Harley more than she knew and when Gavin and Peyton move back to town, the past comes crashing back.

Harley and Gavin are special together. When Harley first worked for him, she handled so much of Peyton’s life and she became part of the family. It crushed her when Gavin and Peyton moved away, especially since she thought she was part of the reason they moved away. However, when she rekindles a friendship with Gavin, they both realizes just how much she means to him and Peyton.

Having Harley back in their lives makes everything so much better. These two have so much love but there are many challenges in their way. From past heartbreak for both of them and problems they face in the present, they have to figure out how they fit together. I love the progression from friends to more and was rooting for them from the start. There are frustrating moments but I understood the issues and didn’t fault them for feeling the way they did. There isn’t much over the top angst but there are definitely some challenges they must face.

While Harley faces her feelings for Gavin, she is faces changes with her family and the business. Harley loves her sisters and tries to find her place in Spark House. Taking care of Peyton years ago was her last nanny job but she still loves working with children. As the business starts expanding, there is less room for the things Harley loves and it weighs on her. She changes as the story goes on and stand up for what she wants. I love the heart to hearts the three sisters have as they figure out how the family and business must operate together.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story. It is filled with so much heart and I was totally invested in these two as well as the growth that they both experienced. I couldn’t put the book down until Harley got her happy ending. The epilogue is amazing and I loved getting another characters POV. It was everything I could have hoped for and more.
