Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Wishes
Lisa Jackson · 1999
60/100
👎 Skip It
Jackson delivers a fast-moving romantic suspense with real layering of secrets and a protagonist whose choices keep the tension ticking. The dual-title publishing history and formula-forward approach mark this as solid commercial output rather than a standout in the genre. Dependable reading for Jackson fans but nothing that distinguishes itself from dozens of similar titles.
