Review: Cute... but too short

I've read and enjoyed the Eternal Guardian books by Elisabeth Naughton so I was really looking forward to this book.  It was cute, but too short.  I know this was a novella meant to introduce the new series, but it didn't take the time to explore these great characters.  I wanted to know more about Mira besides her skin-deep wish and more of Tariq and why he didn't want to be king.  I was left wondering what made the sorceress grapple for power enough to enslave someone.  These are the things that kept me from truly connecting with these characters.  Fifty more pages and I would have given this 5 stars.  Still, the premise is interesting.  Who wouldn't want a wish granted by a hot djinni?  The first chapter of the next book already has my attention, so I'm sure this series will grow into a really great read.  All in all, I liked Bound to Seduction enough to buy the next book.  Maybe some of my questions will be answered there.
