Customer Reviews

WOW, what woman can resist a man who will grant her every

desire. This first time book by Judi McCoy is wonderful. Funny, sexy and filled with surprises. The author has a knack for twisting the plot and making it sing. And Ben is possibly the most sexy dream character ever created. I can't wait to read her next book, coming in December of 2001.

A delicious concoction!

This author blends the real with the stuff of daydreams and creates a story that captured my imagination. I liked the credible heroine, who struggles with a weight problem and experiences some trouble exerting authority at her job, despite her capabilities and intelligence. Then there was the whimsical element--she finds a genie in a bottle! The story flies like a magic carpet ride. It's fun, fresh and light.

Magic in a bottle! Very highly recommended

When fiancé Trevor Edwards elopes with a petite, bubble headed French wine heiress, Madeline decides its time to get away from her troubled love live and troubled company. So she escapes to her grandmother's bed and breakfast in the Florida Keys. Then a bottle washes up on the shore, lending a whole new interpretation to the fairy tale about the genie in the bottle!A thousand years in a bottle leaves the six-foot-two inch genie with an extreme desire to please. Baffled by Maggie's refusal of his magical solutions, the genie nicknamed Ben tries to fit into the twenty-first century. Indeed, Ben knows he's broken many rules of "genie etiquette" including staying out of his prison bottle, addressing his master by name, and thinking of his master in a sexually explicit manner. Yet his special magic may be just what Maddie needs to fight the industrial espionage that threatens her company, as well as the recent damage to her heart.Tall, size fourteen Madeline Winston isn't the willow thin stereotypical heroine. Her offbeat generosity, quirky style, and intensity result in a memorable character. Ben is equally memorable in his need to please and sexy innocence. Makes me wish I could find my own magic bottle! Refreshing and entertaining, Judi McCoy's debut novel promises great things of this tremendously talented author. Highly recommended.

Judi McCoy makes your wishes comes true with this book!

So many times the heroines in romance novels are slender, willowy little things who would blow away with the first puff of wind. Not author Judi McCoy's main gal! In her debut novel, "I Dream of You," the main character Madeline Winston is a tall, buxom woman with some meat on her bones! At last, someone the majority of the romance-reading population can identify with!"I Dream Of You" is based on the classic story of finding "a genie in a bottle." Maddie Winston is determined to save her family's floundering computer chip manufacturing company. She has big plans for success, but lately everything has been going against her. Someone is sabotaging her company, and on top of everything, her fiancé has run off with another woman. Worn out and heartbroken, Maddie retreats to her grandmother's bed and breakfast in the Florida Keys to rethink her life. Walking along the beach, she finds a bottle floating in the surf. As she polishes her treasure, the top pops off and smoke rises, forming into a handsome hunk who has no explanation for his perplexing presence other than an offer to grant her every wish. Could this be the answer to all her problems? You have to read "I Dream of You" to find out.If you like books that will make you smile, has an interesting plot twist and wonderfully romantic fairy tale endings, Judi McCoy's book will certainly fit the bill.Sharon Galligar Chance
