Dee Dawning has written a sexy, erotic tale of women finding their ideal mate. Is it magic, fate, destiny or chance that brings them all together with their soulmate so soon after ingesting a fortune cookie? The author doesn't tell us for sure, we have to use our imagination. With seven pairs of characters whose story needs to be told when Gail's sister Cassie is added Ms. Dawning never gives up. The great mix of humor, eroticism and relationship building continues throughout.

She adds to it with Rita and Gail sharing the tale of their abusive childhood and what they're doing to help others. She varies a little from the primary pairs when Rita, Nikolas, Robbie and Tia try a four way. We get a ‘gotcha’ kind of thrill when Saundra finally finds strength to stand up to her unfaithful husband. She tells us that Mora's openness about the life she lived to pay expenses when catastrophes happened to her family seems to cause a rift in her relationship with Cornell. He's made of the stuff of heroes though so he comes through for her.

The author does a great job mixing people and the realities of life with an apparent fairy tale of the magic fortune cookie. It would be fun to believe that single people could unerringly find their soul mate in such a simple way. Ah, fiction, I love what it does for us. And I love the way Dee Dawning has built this excellent tale.
