Dawn has been forced to suffer centuries of loneliness living in a brass bottle. Now she is released from the bottle and is discovering that her new master, Luke, may just be the answer to her dreams. But is she the answer to his?

Luke hasn’t been able to forget his ex-fiancée Evelyn. So when a beautiful genie tells him she is his to command, he sees an opportunity to win Evelyn back. How is a guy to choose between what he can’t seem to forget and the beautiful and MAGICAL DAWN?

Elizabeth Batten-Carew’s MAGICAL DAWN is every man’s fantasy magically come to life, his very own beautiful genie eager to grant his every wish. The storyline is light and entertaining albeit a bit expected. Luke, much like the upstanding and honorable Major Nelson from the “I Dream of Jeannie” television series, refuses to take advantage of Dawn and instead ends up falling in love with her. For this reader, it might have been a tad more interesting if Luke had battled with his morals a little harder. A fantasy scene or two as he battled with his baser desires and his sense of right might have added something to the story.

Still, Elizabeth Batten-Carew’s MAGICAL DAWN is a light and amusing summer read. This reader thinks that male fans of fantasy romance are going to be reading MAGICAL DAWN poolside this summer and perhaps doing a little antique shopping for interesting old bottles – just in case.
