Karen Erickson

Lily the holiday fairy is given a new assignment this Christmas season—teach a lonely doctor how to love again. But this presents a major challenge. Lily gently coerces people how to embrace the Christmas spirit every year. She doesn’t have a clue what love really is.

The holidays are always depressing for Tim Killian after losing his beloved parents in a terrible car crash. With no family to celebrate with, he throws himself into his medical practice to forget the pain, at least for a little while.

When he literally runs into a gorgeous redhead one evening and knocks her to the ground, he’s struck dumb by her beauty. And when the very same sexy woman comes into his office the next day seeking medical attention, he’s more than interested in his new—but odd—patient.

Soon Tim finds himself involved with the mysterious Lily, but so many things about her don’t add up. Is she what she seems? And does he really want to fall in love with a woman he knows absolutely nothing about?

Oh yes, he does…

Five Angels from Michelle at Fallen Angel Reviews! "Fairies & Wishes is a sassy, sexy holiday read. The idea of giving someone who is a hurting a reason to love again is wrapped together with some unique fairy power.

Lily is a puzzling combination of naïveté and passion, and her eventual plight is very real and well written. Nothing will warm your heart quite like this little Christmas story! Five Angels!"

Jennifer at CK2S Kwips and Kritiques gave Fairies & Wishes 4.5 Klovers! "Fairies & Wishes by Karen Erickson is an absolutely delightful romantic tale! Although billed as a Christmas story, it can be enjoyed any time of the year, as far as I am concerned. Erickson spins a whimsical story of love and wishes come true that could not be more magical if she had sprinkled it with Fairy Dust!" "Once I finished Fairies & Wishes, I went to look for more of Karen Erickson’s work. If her other stories are as entertaining as this one, she will soon be on my auto-buy list!"

Mahaira at Just Erotic Romance Reviews gives Fairies & Wishes 4/5 Stars "Lily Fairington is a holiday fairy, responsible for spreading holiday cheer all around her and for warming up mortal hearts during the holiday season. Dr. Timothy Killian is in dire need of joy and happiness this year. He needs to fall in love and to allow the spirit of Christmas into his heart. Will Lily’s magic heal his wounds and turn his heart around? Lily is a wonderful heroine. Her lack of this world’s shrewdness seems quite realistic. She makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside just like fairies should. A true child at heart, she wants to be a children’s fairy above anything. Charming and caring, Tim feels like her true prince. He knows nothing about the mysterious green-eyed beauty who had appeared from nowhere but is instantly enthralled by her eager sexiness. Sparks just fly between the two, causing interesting situations and creating sweet moments. The love scenes are delightful and emotionally satisfying. You’ll be able to appreciate Lily’s child- like curiosity during the coupling. A fact that is that so endearing as it no longer happens in this fast sexual world. This simple storyline doesn’t let you put down the book at any moment as Lily and Tim’s relationship is developing. There are no potholes to jump over. Ms. Erickson has penned a real sweetheart of a story and she is going to draw you in with her tight, little sexy plot and unique secondary characters. Each character is fully explained and you don’t want to know anything more than what is said in the story. A little humor would have perked it up a bit more, though it still is perfect just the way it is. Fairies and Wishes is a story to be savored and enjoyed. I read romances to escape and be entertained, and I was able to do that with this one."
