This was such a good book! I loved how eloquent the writing was. Such a different type of romance book than I’m used to reading! This book definitely kept me entertained from beginning to end!

This was my first Sarah Ready book and she did not disappoint! I've read hundreds of romance novels at this point and this book's plot was a first for me, I loved it so much, Anna was so kind-hearted, she always wanted the best for everyone in her life that you can't help but root for her and want her to get her happily ever after. Max is a hard man with a soft underbelly that just needed to be shown kindness and who better than the sweet Anna Benoit? The prologue and epilogue were used very well in this book. If you need a quick read with a bit of angst and a satisfying happily ever after this is your book, the perfect holiday read!

Dare I say it? Is it possible? I might have loved Wished even more than Ghosted. There! I said it! Is it possible? It's like picking a favorite child, if I had kids... I have loved and adored each book in the Ghosted series. Each one has been so unique and magical.
Anna cleans Max's house. Over the years she has gotten to know him without really knowing him. Being in someone's home on a consistent basis, you get to know their habits and how they move through life. And what she knows about Max, she loves. So much that when she comes across a rare antique necklace in his home that promises to grant a wish, she wishes Max was in love with her. But, when that wish comes true, she knows it's not right. Max deserves to make his own choices on who he loves. When faced with a choice, will max still love Anna? Can her every wish and desire come to fruition without magic?

This was such a sweet read!
I've been in a bit of a reading slump as of late but from the very start of this book, right up until the end, the writing just drew me in and I couldn't put it down.

The storyline was cute, Anna makes a wish on a sapphire necklace to be married to the handsome but aloof Max Barone, who she's never even had a real conversation with. Cue romance, some spicy scenes, and a couple that you can't help but 'wish' that gets a happily ever after.

I saw that this book is part of a series of books, but this can definitely be read as a standalone, and I'll definitely be reading the other books in this series.

Thank you to the publisher for an advance copy of this book via Netgalley.

I loved reading this book! The situations and twists in the story are just great. We all make wishes in life—some logical, some not—but what if they all came true? Just thinking about that gave me goosebumps.

Like many of us, Anna makes a wish, and to her amazement, it comes true—but always with a twist. She wishes for the love of a man she's been in love with for the past three years. But will he love her back, or will he resent her for making this wish? To find out, you’ll have to read the book. So go ahead and pick it up for your next read!

Honestly, the beginning wasn’t that captivating, but after I reached the fourth chapter, it completely grabbed my attention. It turned out to be a magically lovely story.

The premise of Wished really drew me in, I love a magical element to a book and this definitely exceeded my expectation. Anna is such a down to earth and likeable character and although Max had a morally grey edge to him, as the story goes on, you see a depth to his character. What I didn’t expect though were the many twists and turns which really surprised me and is what made the book a really enjoyable read! Thanks NetGalley and the Publisher for the digital arc!

This book was such a letdown. I love Sarah Ready books and I’ve read so many. The Ghosted series having two of my top books of all time! This book was just not her best work. It felt sloppy, choppy, and rushed. Her editor needs to spend some more time in it too. There were way too many descriptions of smell and there were quite a few continuity errors as well. Such as saying the sheets were satin then a few pages later they were cotton. I also just thought Max’s personality didn’t make sense. His flippant anger was frustrating to me. I did like their chemistry but I wish there was just a bit more polish. Thank you for the opportunity to read this book! I really do want to read more. I love Sarah and so I will not be sharing this review on any platform that could hurt her overall rating. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I do still plan to read everything she writes.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

As always, Sarah Ready put out an engaging story with fun characters!

✨Thank you to NetGalley for the providing the ebook for an honest ARC review✨

This book had my ❤️ from start to finish.

It was achingly good and painful at the same time. It’s a very unique story in my opinion and although it was not dual POV (which I would’ve preferred) it was still good.

I loved how the book started with Max’s POV and ended with his POV. So it was sandwiched — Max - Anna - Max.

The story is threaded through a wish that was made and the development of the main characters, Max and Anna, living through that wish. For me, the unique part of this story is that even if the first wish (because there will be a couple more wishes that will be made) came true, it did not alter or affect the main characters— meaning they know the “reality” and that they are living in an alternate reality to what they know.

I loved how the author made Max’s character grow from not believing in passion and love to giving it a chance and ultimately realizing that he wanted those things all along.

Anna’s character was honest to a fault (when you read this book you will understand why) even if it was something she wanted, she still wanted Max to make the choice for himself. She was so selfless.

All in all, I loved the book. Though this is the first book I have read from this author, I would like to read the other books from her Ghosted series.

Anna is one of the housekeepers on Max Barone’s estate. She fell in love with him when they met three years ago and he doesn’t even know her name. When she finds a sapphire necklace with a note saying it grants wishes she wishes she was married to Max. They both find themselves in a world where they are married but only they know the truth. This romance is full of sweet gestures, passion, and a walk through Paris.

I love the poetic writing style and the imagery painted throughout this book. The characters are deep and feel like real people with complex feelings, backgrounds, and relationships. The story pulled me in and even the magic felt so real while reading. I love Anna’s character and her maturity during the situations. She is so aware that even if she was getting what she wished for Max was forced into the situation and she never does anything to take advantage of it or him. The relationship is so sweet and both characters are aware of each other. I loved being taken on their romantic escapades in Paris as Max and Anna give into the passion they both feel and risk their hearts knowing that the wish could end and they might not remember anything. This book has refreshing maturity while still being a passionate romance in the midst of magic.

This book was cute! I do wish we got to see a bit more of Max’s personality shine through. And I’m always skeptical of the “insta-love” trope. I was a bit confused with the sequence of the wishes/how that all worked/the convenient ending, but this was an easy read that made me smile a lot and had the sweetest HEA.

I’ve enjoyed the heck out of this series. Sarah Ready can do no wrong in my eyes. I love all her books but she has a way with magical realism.

Sarah Ready has been an author that I have followed since the first book in this series.
All the love and compassion throughout these books ugh. it’s a make it or break it for me. 100% loved

I've really liked most of this author's work, especially Ghosted, which was the first book in this series.

Max Barone shows up in this one - he is a billionaire and is a cautious about love, having seen his parents give into unsustainable passion. Anna cleans his house and falls in love with him as soon as she meets him.

All of these books have a supernatural theme and in this one, Anna wishes that she was married to Max and that he loves her. That's when I lost the thread of the plot and it distracted me from the enjoyment of this book.

It all works out in the end, but I'm not exactly sure how. The characters were likeable but the hard to follow plot with the multiple wishes just pulled away from the romantic elements of this story, in my opinion.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Yes yes yes!!! I couldnt put this down. I was cheering so hard for Anna. There were some twists and turns and i really was not sure how this book was going to end. But i loved it!!!

Ich habe mich über das Buch sehr gefreut. Es ist nicht nur fließend zum lesen sondern auch sehr spannend.

I would like to state that I read this in one sitting and COULD NOT stop myself from squealing in delight! Max was an enigma for me in the last book but in this one? I'd like to wrap him up and take two! Anna was a great FMC and it was great to see these characters open up and explore the what ifs of life. I loved the premise of this book and enjoyed seeing how the plot would unfold. The alternate universe was something out of a dream that my romantic heart SWOONED for!

What happens when you make a wish and it comes true? Anna will soon find out. Her wish that the man she loves will love her back is where we pick up. Will he love her back? Will he end up hating her for making the wish in the first place? Only one way to find out.
When I first picked up this book I didn’t really know what to expect, or how hooked I would get. I will admit, it took me a minute to get into it, but once I got about fifty pages in it was hard to put down! The author’s descriptions were beautifully put, she was truly able to world build in such an eloquent way. I am happy I read it. It made my heart happy, but also very sad throughout the book.

I read this in one sitting. It is such an easy and enjoyable read, it’s very light hearted. The pacing worked well for me, it kept me attentive throughout the whole story. The romance was sweet and endearing (and yes there is spice). The story was what it promised, fun, cute and not overly deep. The concept was interesting and loved seeing the way magical realism was delved into in this world. It was a lovely escape from reality for a while and to explore this fluffy romance. This is the fourth book in the series but the only one that I’ve actually read and it definitely works well as a standalone. I loved Sarah Ready’s writing and would definitely pick up another one of her books!

In true Sarah Ready form, she mixes magic and love and makes them seem inseparable. I loved how she accounted for choice in the context of the wish. Choice was actually a big theme for the main character too and making choices for herself and not just to benefit others. Very relatable character. The only thing I’m probably counting against this book is all the Paris-specific stuff because I’m not a Paris girlie, so I recognize that’s on me and not the author.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! So glad to have found this series.
