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.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
MM romance books are not usually my go-to reads. The few I've read have been part of a series, hence the reason I read Wish. But, oh my heart! This is the BEST MM romance I've read to date! It was beautiful, so emotional, and hot AF! 🔥🔥 Max and Wes were EVERYTHING!
"Sometimes he lit me up so hard and fast I wondered how the world didn't burn down around him while he stood there unscathed."
Wesley Sinclair and Max Navarro have a long history of childhood friendship and brotherhood. They'd always had a special connection, even though Max was really Wes' brother, Win's best friend. When Wes' love for Max became something more, things became more complicated.
"I wanted to devour him, swallow him, shove him beneath my bones."
There's so much more I could say about the storyline but, if you love a hot romance, MM, and a delicious alpha male, then Wish is the book for you. Max's dominant, possessive and protective personality was exactly my jam. I ached for his struggles and his restraint. His biological family background was rotten and I loved that he found something precious with the Sinclair family. The love and support the whole family had for one another absolutely melted my heart. Wes was such a sweet guy. My heart broke for the things he'd been through and, oh gosh, the angst of his somewhat forbidden feelings for Max pained me. Their love was so beautiful and rewarding. They were yin and yang. They slotted together perfectly. This story really gripped me with the intensity of feeling, the fiery passion, the element of threat, and the heartwarming and humorous bromance, and the gorgeous support and acceptance he received from his friends. I loved everything about this story! 💖💖
