However, Jasmine girlfriend of the current governor of California. Ladden knew his infatuation can never go anywhere. Jasmine doesn't even know he's interested. Even if she does, she's not going to fall for some junk dealer and give up being California's First Lady. Then Ladden opened his latest acquisitions... an antique rug... and an old copper lamp. By rubbing the lamp, he unwittingly unleashed a genie, who will grant him three wishes, not that he believes such malarkey! But when his two major wishes came true, he started to believe... but there are severe consequences to his wishes... As he attempts to deal with the aftermath, he is prepared to do anything to make her happy. But the genie has some other ideas...

GRR Review Our Husband (a humorous romantic mys by Stephanie Bond
Our Husband is a funny romantic mystery that features one guy, and THREE wives in three separate states!
The twists just keep coming in this light-hearted yet sometimes tense novel as you are delighted to figure out what rabbit is the author going to pull out of the hat next. While obviously, not all characters are going to receive the same amount of attention, the FMC here is the doctor as she even gets a suitor in the middle, but it was the camaraderie among the three wives that made the book stand out.
