WISH ~ Review

WISH
Westbrook Elite Book #3
by Cambria Hebert
Release Date: January 10, 2023 
For me, choice might as well be a wish.
My parents died in a fiery car crash when I was barely sixteen.
I’m gay.
I’m also totally in love with my brother.
I didn’t choose any of that. In fact, I’ve tried like hell to deny it. But here I am in all my gay, brother-loving, no-parentals glory.
Technically, Max isn’t my brother. Not by blood anyway. That should make it less ick, right?
Considering he calls my parents mom and dad, probably not.
Also, did I mention he’s straight?
So that’s me: the freestyle swimmer doing my best to keep my sexuality on the down-low while simultaneously wishing my feelings for Max will evaporate into thin air.
Too bad he acts like he’s my keeper and my heart shakes every time his eyebrow ring glints in the sun or he levels his opaque stare on me with an intensity matched by nothing else.
My desire to keep my personal life personal drowns at the bottom of the pool when a fellow Elite lets everyone in on my business, which throws Max into macho protective mode all over again.
Enough is enough, though. I’m forcing myself to move on.
Maybe the best way to forget about my forbidden crush is to find a new one.
I have options. More than I realized.
Unfortunately, none of them are leather-wearing, tattoo-sporting, motorcycle-riding grumpholes.
So here I am wishing for Max while someone else wishes for me.
Someone who decides if they can’t have me…
No one will.
Please note that WISH contains homophobia. There is also mention of off-page child abuse and parental death. This book also contains a male/male sibling-esque relationship and mentions of male assault. Some readers may find these things uncomfortable.

Wes & Max’s story is so intense in every way. In many ways they could have ended up in very different places & situations looking at very different futures. Learning their past confirmed a lot of things I already guessed yet still managed to surprise me along the way. So many feels!! The Brohood was missed, & boy did they bring it in this reunion!!!! I will always want more of the Bros & their mates! They make me laugh even when they’re not trying to & pack those heartfelt moments with a punch like no others. I don’t know how exactly, but their ability to always find themselves in & survive these crazy mysterious life threatening situations feels so right. They are the Scooby Doo squad on steroids yet far more distinguished. They attach themselves to their Bros unforgivingly & bring out the best in each other along their way. Exhilarating, emotional, exciting stories all around, & I can’t wait to hear more from them! Win adds a wonderful vibe to the Bros & I know he has some stories to share! Oh how I hope we get to find out more about Lars! Truly there’s a whole team I would love to get to know better, so I will be watching for new releases. 
In true Hebert fashion, in the end everything fit together like a perfectly created puzzle & just felt right. Nemo is home safe & sound.

His throat vibrated with low growls, which added a texture to the already incredible kiss. My heart soared when one hand fixed itself against my jaw, pressing his thumb into the joint to keep me open so he could have his fill. No one had ever kissed me like this, no one had ever reached down into my fucking soul to milk every response he could. He was greedy. Kissed jealously, like he had something to prove, like he would devour it all before anyone else could have some. I’d let this man drain me before I pulled away, offering up everything he wanted, trying to give more than what I had.

Welcome to Westbrook University…
Where the only thing more elite than the Ivy League academics and exclusive enrollment for the monied is the swimmers.

At Westbrook, it’s all about the water. Or rather, who’s in it.
More than one Elite swimmer has gone on to become a decorated Olympian and nationwide sensation, so it’s all eyes on the hot men who spend more time in Speedos than jeans.

Love, drama, and jealousy await.
