⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wished by Sarah Ready is the fourth book in the Ghosted series and it's beautiful, emotional, and inspiring like all previous ones! When I saw this book I literally screamed and could not wait to get my hands on it!

Truly in Ghosted style - there is something that Anna wishes for - it's Max. There is just one problem, she is his cleaner and he never bothered to learn her name! She made a wish and both of their worlds fell upside-down! There is just one problem - it's not real!

I am choosing romance in between thrillers to get some balance and you know I absolutely love this series! Since Ghosted, I always hoped there would be one more and luckily they all are so good! I don't know what but something makes it so for me! They always are emotional and with such a deep meaning! I JUST LOVE THEM, OK?

p.s. you can read them in mixed order after the second book.

Thank you, NetGalley, Swift & Lewis Publishing and Sarah Ready for this joy!

First of all, I'd Like to start thanking Netgalley and Publisher for the ARC granted to me. Altough I have started this series by the last story, I could really loved and enjoyed the narrative as an independent book, and I truly have appreciated each step of the journey. I love stories with supernatural/magic elements, specially wihen it comes about romances and the Anna & Max one was exactly what I was expecting... and more! The narrative was well built and pretty compelling. It's definetely worth the reading!

Wished by Sarah Ready is the fourth book in the Ghosted Series. This book is an interconnected standalone. Anna is a housecleaner, and she wishes to be married to her employer Max. She has fantasies of the homeowner based purely on the speculation of cleaning his house for three years. She makes a wish on a 200-year Barone family heirloom. Then she wakes up as Max’s wife. Max has trouble with the two alternate universes. They get to know each other as they work to rectify what has happened since the wish.

I was at chapter 10 before i came up from reading.

The story was magical, fun, cute, well paced, and kept my attention.

Wished is the second book by the author that I’ve read, and I will definitely be reading more, as both stories have been very enjoyable reads.

I switched between reading the ebook and listening to the audiobook, narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Will Watt - both narrators do an excellent job and add even more to the story.

Recommended.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this romance so much! So far all the books in this world have been fun and have a wonderful touch of magic to them. The wish granting was a great addition to this book and made the story really fun and whimsical. I adored Anna and Max, they were such a great couple and I loved that they got their happily ever after.

This was a strong fourth entry in the Ghosted series, it had everything that I wanted based on the previous three books. It was a strong concept and enjoyed the world and how the characters worked in this story. It was everything that I wanted and glad I got to read this. I’ve been enjoying the way Sarah Ready wrote this and can’t wait for more.

Thank you netgalley for the e-arc of this book.

First of all, I am glad I read the whole series before reading this, even if it took a while. I could definetely see improvements in Sarah's writing. The style of this book in particular felt more rom-commy than the other ones in the series, which felt a bit more rigid and stiff. This made me laugh and giggle much more than books in the rest of the series, though I'm not sure some of the lines were intended to be funny. I absolutely enjoyed this the most in the series. I could understand and felt Anna's emotions and thought process, which allowed me to connect to her character well. Some of the lines in this book just hit, maybe due to personal experiences, but I can't wait to download it onto my kindle once it is released, so I can highlight the quotes that really resonated with me.

However, after having read the previous book before this one, I feel that Max diverted quite a bit from how he was mainly characterised, although you could argue that is because of what he experienced through the book, but it felt a bit too early to see changes in his personality and views of something that was such a prevalent topic in his life. Moreover, the descriptions of the setting'scene felt a bit delayed when we were at different locations.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I thought the pacing was quite good. I also loved the little cameos o fthe characters from the previous book (which was mainly why I read the previous books before this). It was quite cute to see what they were up to, in the time after their book ended.

I have absolutely adored this series, I can only hope Sarah Ready keeps writing more magical realism plots because she is so old at finding different concepts. This is probably not my favorite in the series as I just didn't love the characters but I enjoyed it just the same. Highly recommend this entire series to anyone looking for a hit of magical realism.

Sarah Ready’s Ghosted series continues to deliver. I think this MMC is my favorite one in the series. He’s tall, dark, and handsome, a bit gruff, very commanding yet tender, fabulously wealthy, perfectly devoted, and has an amazing accent. Swoon!

I enjoyed the plot and felt it unfolded well. The settings were gorgeous. I felt like I was in Geneva, Paris, and San Tropez. And the side characters were distinctive and fun.

This is an enjoyable addition to the series. I love how diverse each book is, and how the magical/sci-fi elements fit each story so well.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for my review copy.

Anna is a maid at a chateau, she is in love with her boss, she finds a magic necklace and wishes she was married to her employer. will it work? sweet book

What do you do when you fall in love at first sight with a man who doesn’t know you even exist? Obviously, you find an enchanted necklace and wish that you were married and that he was in love with you back. Then when this enchanted necklace actually grants your wish, you try and figure out how to get life back to the way it was so that the man can choose you himself and not be trapped unaware.

This is book number four in the Ghosted series. These books can be read as standalones. I had a good time with this book. Nothing happened the way you thought it was going to happen. The romance and banter between the main characters is written very well. Overall, a very solid read as I have come to expect from Sarah Ready.

I am so glad that this series is a standalone series but after reading this book I NEED to read the others in this series. Such a great read. Originally writing, such a cute rom com. The characters were lovable from the beginning to end. I wasn’t able to put this book down. Read it all in one sitting.

Thank you Sarah Ready, NetGalley, and Swift and Lewis publishing LLC for the opportunity to ARC read for you!

The idea of some magical realism mixed with romance really peaked my interest with this title. Then, to add in a billionaire romance... sign me up! I adored the characters in this book. Anna definitely gives me Anna from Frozen vibes. Such a delightfully easy read full of wholesome goodness. I'll definitely be looking into the rest of the Ghosted series by Sarah Ready.

Four stars :)

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an EArc.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sarah Ready, and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for allowing me to read this early.

Hopeless romantic Anna makes a wish that she would be married to her rich employer, Max. But when she wakes up happily married to him, will it truly be everything she wished for?

This book was absolutely adorable and just the palette cleanser I needed after reading so much fantasy lately. It felt like the romantic comedies I grew up with and gave me all the cheek-hurting smiles that I love!

This billionaire romance had a bit of the insta love trope but not in a bad way. There was minimal spice I would say but enough to keep you entertained. I do think the FMC was well written and I enjoyed her journey as a character.

The reason I took off a star is because some of the dialogue and way their love was spoken about was a little too lovey-dovey for me, a little too sickeningly sweet. That may be your thing, but it was just a bit too much for me at times. Otherwise, I really did enjoy their relationship.

I’m so thankful I got to read this book, and I definitely look forward to reading some of Sarah’s other books too. If you’re in the mood for a quick, fun, romance then this would be a great one to pick up!

Thank to you Swift and Lewis publishing and Netgalley for the advanced copy of this title.
I was first introduced to Sarah Ready with her previous novel 'Fated' in which I was introduced to the MMC of this book, Max. We barely skimmed the surface of Max's personality and this book gives him a great backstory and arc.
Sarah Ready knows how to do magical realism in a way that anchors the story to something believable in a dream world.
Her stories read like the most vivid dream and the sensation of having to wake up when everything felt tangible and real.
The book starts with a simple wish barely whispered and turns into a sweeping love story.

I loved this story, the characters, the chemistry, the buildup, and the angst of leaving a dream behind to search for the real thing.

Aside from some tiny plotholes this was a really good book. I’m excited to check out the others. I really love the short chapters too. The characters were very likeable too. Much spicy than I thought though

Sarah’s writing is just perfection. She describes everything so realistically that it feels as if I’m there too, I can feel not only the elements like the salty air of the beach, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the silkiness of the sheets, but I also can feel the feelings; the love, the anger, the heartbreak. The only thing I really dislike from her books is the fact that she ALWAYS describes amazing food and now I’m suddenly craving something I’ve never had -or even heard of- before🥲 that’s how great Sarah is at story telling.

I have to say that I enjoyed Wished way more than Fated, it just made me feel warm and fuzzy. It’s a magical book that you cannot miss out on!

Wished is Max and Anna’s story. I’ve been intrigued with Max since Fated, so I was extremely happy when I saw that Wished was his book. Anna and Max come from different backgrounds, so much so that Anna cleans Max’s house -more like mansion- but this was not and impediment for Anna to fall in love with Max at first sight. 3 years after first seeing him, Max finally notices her, and it’s because of this -along with some magical help and a couple of wishes- that their love story comes to be. It’s a really wholesome story that will make you question things but also will make you believe in love -and passion- again.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

"Love isn't the opposite of hate. It doesn't have room for hate. It's pure and compassionate and forgiving and full o grace. It's constant. It's quiet. It's loud. It's steady. It's the night sky full of a million blazing stars."

This was a wholly satisfying conclusion to Ready's magical realism series. Taking on the trope of wishes, Anna Benoit is every person who has had an unrequited crush where you think you know them inside and out, but you still have so much to learn. Max is every person who has ever feared love. His insistence against passion, combined with Anna's romanticism, create a brilliant opposites-attract as they take on Paris, Saint Tropez, and Geneva. The strongest part of the novel is when both Max and Anna are aware that this reality is not their own, and they decide to throw caution to the wind in Paris. With Sarah Ready's beautiful, lush prose, readers are in for another magical treat.

One quick note: I did not find this one to have the same emotional punch as Fated, but that does not mean it was not good. It just meant that it wasn't my favorite blend of magic.

Thank you to NetGalley, Swift & Lewis Publishing, and the author for an eARC in exchange for my honest review. I'm deeply sad this series is over. Wished was there for me during a rough day, and I wish I could reread this entire series again.

I flew through this book! It had me hooked straight away and I loved the spice. The storyline and characters made this all quite enjoyable. I do think there were some tiny plot holes. But for vibes, this book is good.
