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.

Everything I was waiting for & then some!, January 5, 2023 

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.

The Missing Crown ~ Review

The Missing Crown

The Nihryst ~ Book #4

by Cait Marie

Published March 18, 2020

Pssst....Did you know you can technically jump into this Robin Hood- and Rapunzel-inspired series with this book? It's a new set of characters in a new story! 

It will spoil the first three books though, just a heads up.

A crown prince. A missing princess. A friendship stronger than any spell.

Kal’s best friend is gone. His cousin Elin, the one person in the world who truly understands him, has vanished with almost no trace.

Despite having few leads, Kal and a crew set out, willing to sail to the ends of the world to bring the princess home. Even if it means fighting pirates and accepting help from the mysterious stranger who saves his life —a fierce and beautiful woman named Zinnia.

Riley’s life is a simple one. Nothing ever happens in her quaint village until a stranger arrives. Logan is unlink the others; he's lived an exciting, adventurous life. The kind she desperately wants.

So, when her overprotective grandmother is called away, Riley convinces him to cross the kingdom with her  to the solstice celebration near the sea.

But the farther Riley travels, the more she realizes something is wrong. There are gaps in her memory she's scared to examine too closely. Dreams of a man with bright blue eyes searching for her.

 Thievery never looked so fine!, November 17, 2022

What an epic finale to one of my favorite series…or so I thought!! Imagine my glee to find out there will be more yet to come! This series is a page turning addiction with a kaleidoscope of action packed adventure, romance, emotional symphony, & plenty of snark to keep you laughing throughout. The Missing Crown took us down the rabbit hole of emotions while ensuring we’d want to drink & eat more more more!!! Riley & the town of unfriendly folk was just the beginning to the mystery. Logan & the festival added a whole other level of intrigue. Zinnia….I loved her from the moment we met….and psssst….I KNEW!!! Sioban & Donel are just a few of my new fave characters (& I would totally read a side piece in their story if ever it becomes available!)! The royals made their grand entrance & oh how I had missed them!! And….the witchy plot twist that eluded us until the moment revealed - - - That was epicly perfect!!! Now….I must have Kal’s story!!!

The Fallen Ash Queen ~ Review

The Fallen Ash Queen

Ash King Series ~ Book 2

by M.R. Polish

Publication Date: September 30, 2022

 “Caitin, I knew from that night on the ferry that you are my mate.” 

 Caitin never imagined she would survive the Trials, let alone discover she was the prince’s mate. Her time alone with Layke made her realize her feelings were more than just having her soul bound to his. His touch sent her magic into a frenzy until it was all she craved. 

 Layke hungered for more than her blood and there was nothing in any kingdom or demand from the gods that could tear him away from his mate. The instinct to rip anyone’s heart out if they touched her raged just under the surface. 

 But he couldn’t protect her from the one thing that could kill them both… her magic. 

The perfect follow up to book one in every way!, October 16, 2022 

We are reunited with our favorite characters & introduced to many more. This world is addicting, entertaining, & unique. The Alorians intrigued me & then the Akyell. I am still in awe of the diverse strengths & bonds created from Caitlin, Mym, Finnian, Layke, Vorigan, & so many others. We are reminded true power is not always measured in the strength of one’s hand, & how one handles the trials they’re thrown into affects far more than what is seen in the moment. 

That ending though!!!!!! I can not wait to see the outcome of the war ahead & all that shall be revealed!!

M.R. Polish 

M.R. Polish was born in Idaho, a long, long, long, maybe not that long time ago.... Writing has always been there for her. Growing up, her mind was filled with stories, some she shared and others she filed away to write down later in life. It wasn't until 2011 that she decided to publish her stories for everyone to enjoy. Her first award and when writing became more than just an idea was in the 5th grade. She won the scary story contest for the school newspaper. It is one story she still has tucked away for memories. Her teacher told her she could be anything she wanted and that she had a talant for writing, being creative and drawing people into her stories. M.R. took that to heart and continued to write, although mostly in secret until recent years.

Now you can find her enjoying life with her family - wrangling her four kids, setting traps in the house with toys for unsuspecting victims (aka, her husband) and writing down all her crazy and fun stories.

"Life is too short to stand by and watch everyone else live your dreams. The bigger the dream, the bigger the adventure!" ~ M.R. Polish
