After attending an estate sale with her friend Rosie, Samantha thought she'd just bought an old box that had a tendency to pop open of its own accord. Inside held a beautiful spun glass bottle. Assuming the bottle held stale perfume, she receives the shock of her life when she removes the stopper.

Incarcerated inside a bottle for thousands of years, Lugal, great warrior of Sumer, is used to his possessors wanting their three wishes, giving little thought to him or his desires. That is until Samantha. She rocks his world with her generosity, compassion, and willingness to teach him about the wondrous inventions of her time.

When I chose Samantha and her Genie to review, I half expected to read the usual clichés often found in genie stories. I was delighted to find I was so wrong. Daisy does a truly amazing job of creating a story that was totally uplifting and entranced me with its uniqueness. Her superbly-written graphic depiction, dialogue, and characterization were endearing, emotional on various levels and utterly engrossing. The love scenes are scorching and enough to raise the temperature of the reader to incendiary levels. Mine sure did. The interaction between the characters was highly entertaining and often a great source of amusement. Especially Lugal. His thirst for knowledge led to some hilarious scenes that had me virtually rolling around laughing. Though, undeniably sad at times, there are plenty of humorous moments to lighten the mood. I highly recommend this novel to those that love sexy, romantic, hot stories that will have the reader running a gamut of emotions as the story evolves. Furthermore, I was so impressed with this novel that I will be looking to add more books by Daisy Dexter Dobbs to my virtual library in the very near future.
