MAKE A WISH is the last book in Helena Hunting's Spark House trilogy about three sisters, Avery, London, and Harley, as they grow the business of their family boutique event property.  Sporty Avery matched up with her best friend Declan then fashionable London fell in love with business mogul Jaxson and now Harley gets her HEA.  The backstory for all the sisters that causes relationship issues is based on being raised by their grandmother after the death of their parents in a car accident when they were teenagers.  Each of the love interests has his own baggage with which to contend as well. MAKE A WISH frequently references the other couples and their obstacles quite a bit, and if you haven't read the other books recently, it might be hard to keep track of who is who.  

MAKE A WISH begins seven years in the past with Harley a 20-year-old college student who nannies for widower Gavin and his 18-month-old daughter Peyton.   Gavin suddenly moves away and leaves Harley lost and unsure of her future having crossed a boundary line. Fast forward to the present where a second chance begins with Gavin moving back to Colorado Springs and they run into each other at a birthday party Harley planned at Spark House.  The relationship encounters predictable problems including transitioning from nanny to girlfriend, Gavin's guilt and grief surrounding his dead wife, and negative behavior from his daughter Peyton's grandmother.  While their difference in age is only about ten years, I still found it hard to get over at times, perhaps because of the secretive nature of the relationship between Harley and Gavin in addition to this.  At times, I found Gavin's inability to stand up to his former mother-in-law, and his ongoing struggles with moving on annoying, but he had a lot to work through while raising his daughter. Harley, as well, needed to speak up for herself and talk to her sisters about her place in the business more. Still, MAKE A WISH was a fast and entertaining read and made me want to revisit the other books again.
