So good!

We’re back in Sunshine Bay with the Rosetti family . This book is Willow’s story, and it is really good.

I loved Willow’s personality, she is so positive and doesn’t let life get her down. Doesn’t matter if the viewers tease her about her clumsy weather forecasts, or if her aunt needs help after an accident and amnesia, Willow finds a way through it all. But when she finds out that the television station she loves might be sold, she is in action to save it from her childhood friend Noah.

Their relationship is up and down, can they survive the pressure of the sale and the other huge secrets that are revealed? Read this book, you’ll thank me later!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

This book gave me so much enjoyment as I was reading. The Rosetti family makes me feel welcome and part of their lives.
The story is filled with so many things both expected and unexpected. I really like a book that has so much to the storyline that turning the pages just fly by.
Willow is the focus of this book, and she does things she knows will cause family drama.
Pick up this book and get ready to be pulled into Sunshine Bay. A small town that everyone will like visiting.
Thank you NetGalley, Debbie Mason and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the copy of Three Little Wishes.

Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason, book two in the Sunshine Bay series, is a wonderful story about family, love and forgiveness. Willow Rossetti loves her home town of Sunshine Bay and never wants to leave. She loves her and will do everything she can to save Chanel 5 TV network where she works as the weather girl. She will dress up in any costume they put her in and do the forecast in any weather, despite the outrageous things that always seems to happen to her. Willow is on a mission to convince the owner, Noah Elliott, not to close down the station by the end of summer and becomes even more hopeful when she discovers that she has a link to Noah.

Part of Willow’s plan to save the station involves contacting her estranged famous Aunt Cami and getting her to town. She has no idea how her mother and grandmother will react to this, but she will even take their wrath to save the network. What Willow didn’t expect was Cami having an accident, and waking up with amnesia believing she is 17 and wanting to see her family, unaware of their estrangement. There are lots more family secrets in the Rossetti family that will impact more than them when they come to light. The past and the present crash into each other in a spectacular way, and the Rossetti family will never be the same again.

Ms. Mason wrote a wonderful, humorous, moving, heartfelt story with some major twists that should not be missed. Filled with the wonderful characters in the Rossetti family and their friends. There was definitely some laugh out loud moments in this book, with Willow, Cammie and Riley getting into some situations. Then there’s the handsome Noah who even though he tries, cannot stay away from the lovely and beautiful Willow; this two are magic together. I’m looking forward to the next Rossetti's book to see what happens in Sunshine Bay.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

A delightful light tale of family. Willow's aunt Cami, who has been estranged from the Rosetti family for so many years, is back in Sunshine Bay after an accident that's left her with an odd form of amnesia- she thinks she's 17. Noah is back in town with his young sister Riley. He's not just there for vacation though, he's there to more or less shut down the tv station when Willow works. Fans of rom coms know that Willow and Noah-oh swoon! This has a slightly implausible but very fun plot line with Cami's antics but all the characters are equally engaging. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read to relax with.

Willow Rosetti. She is positivity personified but even she can't make her beloved Channel 5 stay on the air. Trying to keep the station solvent while dealing with her family, her old/new boyfriend, his sister, and all manner of things, she is maxed. This story was somewhat of a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney 'Let's put on a show' throw back as the book began, and I wasn't sure I'd like it. Then, the magic happened and the story opened up for me!

What a wonderful premise; get your movie star aunt to come to help get the station back on the top of the ratings...then oops...that doesn't happen...due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Then you find out 'your' friend who is a boy when you were both 15, is now the owner of the station and he wants to sell...until you talk him into listening to you...kind of.

A delightful romp through a summer of crazy happenings. A very easy read and a fulfilling story. The ending is heart melting.

Sometimes secrets are kept too long and can cause difficulties in families. I'm glad this one worked out...for everyone.

4.5 stars since the beginning dragged a bit for me. All in all a satisfying read.

Three Little Wishes is a charming, fun return to Sunshine Bay. The characters are likable and well written. The chemistry between Willow and Noah sizzles! I really loved this novel! It was a quick read that left me wanting to know what happens next! A special thank you to Forever, Grand Central Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.

Very good and well rounded book. Multiple fun stories that become serious and bring family together.
I loved the love story between Willow & Noah and how his little sister was a part of it. It was also funny to see all the crazy stuff Cami, the older aunt got up to while she had amnesia after an accident and thought she was 17 again, I promise you will laugh, be irritated with some family members and find joy if you read this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

Another fun and heartfelt addition to the Sunshine Bay and Rosetti Family. When Willow learns her job is in jeopardy because of the TV station she works as a meteorologist, might be sold, she tries everything she can to save it. It breaks her heart to think of her coworkers losing jobs too. She is a kind hearted person and you have to laugh at the outfit she has to wear to do the weather. Noah is a teenage crush from her past and when they meet again, sparks are still flying. Second chance romance, rekindled family, humorous moments, friendships, family issues and forgiveness all made this an enjoyable read.

I recently read Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason, and I have to say, it was a heartwarming and charming read. The story follows Willow Rosetti, a meteorologist in Sunshine Bay who is determined to save the local TV station from closing. In a desperate move, she calls her estranged aunt, Camilla Monroe, a famous actress, to help boost the station's ratings.

When Camilla gets into an accident and suffers from amnesia, she ends up in Sunshine Bay, and Willow must take care of her. As they spend time together, they begin to bond and uncover the secrets of their family's past. With a little bit of scheming and a whole lot of heart, Willow and Camilla work together to save the TV station and heal their fractured family.

The plot is heartwarming, with plenty of humor and moments of emotional depth to keep the reader engaged. The characters are well-developed, and their relationships are explored in-depth. The writing style is engaging and witty, and I found myself invested in Willow and Camilla's story from beginning to end.

Overall, Three Little Wishes is a delightful read that explores themes of family, forgiveness, and love. Debbie Mason has created a charming and relatable story that will leave you feeling uplifted and satisfied. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romantic comedy with heart.

This story definitely had a couple of twists I didn’t see coming, but loved. It was fun being with Willow and summer Noah and then grown-up Noah. I can’t imagine going back to my teenage self. I would certainly do things differently. I love the Rosetti’s and the family that they are. Family is so important. I would certainly take a trip back to Sunshine Bay so I could spend more time with these wonderful folks. I received this book from NetGalley, but my opinion is my own.

Another fabulous book in the Sunshine Bay series! Willow Rossetti is just one of the many passionate Rossetti heartbreakers. Willow is a gentle loving soul who will do anything to keep her beloved Channel 5 news on air, including dressing in ridiculous costumes. Willow is devastated to learn her beloved station is being sold and shut down, so she starts a campaign to convince their new boss not to sell or shut them down. When Willow finds out she has a childhood connection to the new boss, she is more determined than ever to save her station and her friend’s jobs. Noah is an uptight grumpy man who is tasked with getting rid of his ties to Sunshine Bay since the memories of his mom are too painful, and getting his younger sister out of the trouble she finds herself in. He is happy to reconnect with his childhood friend Willow, but unwilling to change his plans for the business. Part of Willow’s plan to save things at the station involves contacting her estranged famous aunt Cami, and hoping her family doesn’t disown her for contacting Cami and trying to get her to town. What Willow didn’t count on was Cami having an accident, and waking up with amnesia believing she is 17 and wanting to see her, unbeknownst to her, estranged family again. This book is funny, fast paced with some major twists, and full of so much heart. I absolutely loved this story, and already can’t wait to revisit Sunshine Bay again! Another fabulous book with amazing characters by Debbie Mason! I received an ARC and this is my honest option.

this is book two in the sunshine bay series but can be read as a standalone... some characters from the first book make an appearance, but it is easy to follow the story.

Three Little Wishes is the perfect book to take you back to Sunshine Bay and the Rossetti family. It is a comical romance full of family drama and the good and bad that goes along with it.
Willow is trying to save her job at the tv station and ends up causing chaos as she brings her famous Aunt and rekindles her long ago summer romance from her teenage years with Noah .
Debbie Mason has a way of creating characters and towns that become endearing to her readers .
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy for my opinion.

This was a wonderful, humorous, impactful and romantic read. Debbie Mason has given us such wonderful character's in the Rossetti family and their friends, it is a joy to read this book. I loved it a little bit more than book one. I thought there was more laugh out loud moments in this books where Willow, Cammie and and Riley get into some situations. And lets not forget the handsome Noah Elliott who even though he tries, he cannot stay away from the lovely and beautiful Willow. This two are magic together. And lets not forget all the wonderful food in this book that will make your mouth water and stir up your taste bud and make you want to start cooking...
I cannot wait for the next Rossetti's book to seen what happens in Sunshine Bay.

Willow Rosetti, resident weather person of Sunshine Bay, never lets anything get her down. She is a force of positivity, even when things aren't going well. For her, nothing could be better than living near her family in Sunshine Bay and working her dream job at Channel 5. Unfortunately, Channel 5 is set to be closed down, and Willow has to take drastic measures to save her job. She calls up her estranged movie star aunt behind her family's back. Upon hearing from Willow, Camilla fears that her long held secrets have finally come to light, and gets into an accident from the shock. Now facing amnesia, Willow has to find a way to manage her aunt who thinks she is a teenager again without her family finding out, save everyone's jobs, and maybe even fall in love. 

I was so excited to return to the heartwarming town of Sunshine Bay! This story was a bit chaotic in the best way (I mean, how can it not be when your 47 year old aunt has a case of amnesia that makes her think she's 17 again?). The supporting cast of characters (shoutout Amos) were so lovable and really made it feel complete. I loved Willow and Noah's reconnection after so many years, and I just adored Riley. While I didn't find this story to be as relatable, it was still so fun to get lost in this world. Debbie Mason really writes the most charming quintessential small-town romances.

Thank you to Debbie Mason, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review. This one is due to be published May 7, 2024.

This was a very predictable, but sweet, romance. There was a twist that disrupted the progress of the romance, but things worked out in the end. I do think this story dragged a bit, but it was a fun read.

Debbie Mason writes the perfect small town, sweet romances. And this book was no exception. I loved getting to return to Sunshine Bay. Willow was our quintessential sunshine. With her fun lobster costume that she does the weather in, to her unending optimism. I loved all the escapades she got into trying to do her reports. Add in some second chance, friends to lovers with Noah and we had a recipe for a good book.

We also get the added bonus of her big Italian family and all the drama that entails. Teenaged Cami had me laughing out load with all her antics. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Amos. Because who doesn't love the token grumpy old man. This was a heartwarming read about not just love, but family and forgiveness. Definite recommend for those looking for a summer/beach read.

Willow Rosetti loves her job and life in Sunshine Bay. She finds out the TV station is be closed down and sold. She contacts her aunt Camilla Monroe a famous actor to come home to be on the local news. Her grandmother, mother and aunt are estranged from Camilla and don't know she is asking her to come home. Camilla is hiding secrets and doesn't plan to return to Sunshine Bay.
Noah Elliot is the owner of the station and when he meets Willow, they realize they spent 3 weeks together when they were fifteen. Sparks are flying between them; but he is still saying he is selling the station. His fifteen-year-old sister shows up, so he has his plate very full.
Meanwhile Camilla suffers an accident in NYC and now has amnesia and thinks she is seventeen and wants to come home to Sunshine Bay.
Wonderful story about righting wrongs and forgiveness.

Loved this story from start to finish. Well developed story with fairy tales and real life interlaced. Loved finding out that mistakes made by the choices made by the characters made the story ever better! Loved how Willow and Noah worked through their true love. Recommend.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of Three Little Wishes by Debbie Mason
This was an awesome story, it took a few chapters to hook me and I was trying to figure out how the characters connected, but then it all starts to come together and watch out cause I couldn't put the book down.
Loved the characters, they were well introduced and described, not too many all at once. The setting was great, loved the plot. I loved finding out what was happening next, who was related to who and why. I loved Cami and Willow's character
This is the first novel I have read by Debbie Mason but not the last. I loved her writing style!
