Mirjam Linna is a tired,overworked, co-owner of a software development company. She’s stranded in Las Vegas for an additional night because a blizzard has canceled her flight back home. While sitting in the bar of her hotel, her bartender strikes up a conversation with her, which in turn results in Mirjam pulling the arm of a slot machine, resulting in her doing something she normally wouldn’t do.

Riley McGregor is the owner of a microbrewery in Virginia. He’s in town for a conference himself, arriving a day earlier, since it’s his first time being in Vegas. Riley is immediately drawn to a slot machine that surprisingly still has credits in it. Pulling the lever, bells start ringing, signaling that he’s won. However instead of coins coming out, Riley receives an envelope with his name on it.

Mirjam and Riley are set up on a blind date by a djinn, which is sort of like a genie, but can be seen in human form. Without giving away the rest of the story, Mirjam and Riley have each had their fair share of problems with relationships. They agree to have a nice dinner with each ending things there. But sometimes your inner hopes and dreams, which may or may not be spoken aloud have the ability to be heard and fulfilled by powers greater than ourselves.

While initially I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book, I found it to be a very enjoyable read. Once Mirjam and Riley relaxed a little, they each become very likeable characters. I did however find the epilogue to be a huge let down.
