Identical triplets may be look exactly alike but they definitely do not always act the same. As the middle sister of triplets, Holly O’Mara has first hand experience with this. There is her younger sister Rose who is a daredevil extraordinaire. Then there is Lily. Practical and settled with a family of her own Lily wants nothing less for Holly. It is too bad she has absolutely no clue what Holly wants or needs!

Sure, when Holly tries to tell Lily she found a genie in a jerry-can and has three wishes and was contemplating on giving Lily one of those wishes, what does Lily do? Practical, sensible Lily scoffs, says her cat has more sense than her, and immediately ignores the talk about a genie and focuses on Holly’s lack of a man in her life. However, Holly refuses to let Lily set her up with anyone and most definitely not with any lawyers. Her ex-husband was a lawyer and since then, attorneys and Holly just do not mix. No matter what Lily says, all Holly wants to do is live her life doing what she loves and without a family in tow. Now if only she could just get her sister to listen to her about the genie she found without rolling her eyes, then they would be heading somewhere.

Luke Nathan does not believe big foot, the yeti or the stupid sea creature Cadborosaurus, that his mother and family keeps harping about. He is a lawyer, he would know. Such things simply do not exist. So when his mother makes a deal with him to prove it, he takes her up on the offer. There he meets the strange yet beautiful Holly who plays with seaweed, talks to herself and denies it, and has a problem with him because of the fact that he is a lawyer. Who cares about sea creatures when Holly is around to distract him?

The best part is, they both want the same thing. No attachments whatsoever. Holly likes her lifestyle and Luke likes his bachelordom. Who cares if the genie keeps trying to tell Holly that she and Luke were destined to be together? No strings, that is all they want from each other. Nothing more. Right?

No Strings Attached has its merit but it simply did not do it for me. The best part in the story was Holly and her interaction with Ted the genie, who gave a whole new insight to the roll of genies. However, it seemed like the genie did not really have that much of a role in the story at all. Also, it did not quite make sense to read about the cat and how anyone can understand him and have no problems understanding him. The characters just seemed a little two-dimensional in their on personal conflicts as well as with each other, and the love story between Luke and Holly was a bit trite. To put it simply, it was quite predictable, therefore it receives 3.5 tombstones.
