Declan and Samuel meet on a plane to Scotland, and neither is too impressed with the other. Little do they know that they already know each other. They have been emailing back and forth for about a year planning their best man duties for the wedding between Sam's sister and Declan's brother. The two spend a week in a fairytale castle by Loch Ness, and their attraction to each other sizzles even though Declan has never found another man attractive.

I found Declan delightful and his accent was great. Sam didn't really do anything for me - I feel that so much was set up with his personality, but there was no real follow-through (at least not in this installment). The story was a little shallow, and most scenarios were brushed over without intricate details. Only the sex scenes were laid out in detail. I would have liked more build up between the two, and I would have liked more pining before the end. It all seemed a little too easy. The epilogue was sort of out of place - the events in that (and I guess the following installments) sorta came out of the blue. I'm intrigued to read the next books although it seems they're more about Sam's father than the love story.

This was my first Isobel Starling Book.

I loved the Main Characters. Their chemistry was amazing and the sex scenes were off the charts.

My problem was with the writing. I loved how the story was developing. But it was difficult to keep up with the writing style where the author jumped through different POVs within a single chapter. I wish the transition of the different POVs was a bit more clear. The story was fast paced as well as slow paced. Fast paced in the sense that the romance between the characters developed pretty rapidly considering one of the characters was straight, Slow paced in the sense that even after 60% of the book, the story had not progressed beyond sleeping together.

While I agree that there are a lot of parts in this series, it is still a slow start to the progression of the relationship. I wish the characters talked more about personal things a little more in the first half of the book.

Overall, a good beginning to the series. I loved Sam - and he is so freaking talented. I absolutely adored him.

I enjoyed this. it was fun and sexy with a bit of mystery. And in Scotland? Sign my up! If you would also like you're romance set in Scotland, I would recommend giving this a look.

The premise for this book is interesting. The dialogue was a style that I had difficulty connection with. The characters were engaging and the author used descriptions well. It was an ok read just difficult for me to connect to the authors style.

3,5 stars A story with many faces.
It starts with Declan and Sam as two best men. They never met before and email was their only contact and they like each other very much. But when they meet they both don't know who the other is. And their first contact isn't going well.
Declan is older and straight (his words) Sam the younger one and gay, both strong and demanding.
After they know who they are it's getting better and better.

When they start kissing and spending all the time they have together it's getting steamy.
They have, besides many sexual interactions a lot of fun together they fit like gloves.
Than Sam has to go and promise to return. Declan is determined to wait.

A lot is going on in this story. Family is not what it seems. After Sam returns the story gets a whole other turn....

Overall It's funny, hot and lovely. The revelation about certain things was for me not necessary, it was fine without it. A hfn would be enough and not a series.
When you love series you must give it a go.

Sam and Declan are co-best-men for the wedding where Sam's sister will marry Declan's brother. They've never met in person, but have been communicating via email for some time about their best-man duties. Once they finally come face to face, they get off on the wrong foot, or rather, Declan is a complete asshat. Declan has always considered himself straight, but something about the younger man calls to him and he finds himself not only drawn to Sam, but very attracted to him. The more time Declan and Sam spend together the stronger their feelings for one another become, but what happens when the week long wedding festivities end.

This was just an okay read. I'll be frank, there isn't a whole lot of substance to this story. Most of Sam and Declan's time together is spent having sex. Don't get me wrong, it's a hot read, but I wanted more.

Declan and Sam had amazing chemistry, but I wish we had gotten to know them a bit better. I wish they had had more conversations throughout the story, for more character development. I wanted to see more than just a sexual relationship develop between them.

The flow of the book was also off. The transition between Declan and Sam's POV's wasn't always smooth and the scenes would often jump ahead suddenly.

The premise of the story was good, but as I said I just wanted more. Still, it was enjoyable and recommendable.

I was excited to read this book because the blurb seemed great and this is a new author for me so I was excited to read how the story would turn out. Unfortunately, this one didn't work out for me. I was so annoyed with the usage of the characters names. I mean really. I believe Sam's name was used 15 times within the first few pages and then when the story changed to Declan's view of things it was no different. I actually got tired of their names. Also, there was entirely too much detail in this story, which made the story drag. I never thought a story could have too much detail but this one proved me wrong. I felt no real chemistry between the characters and what I did read between them felt forced in a way. I couldn't connect with them at all, which made it even harder for me to enjoy this story. I will just say that this story wasn't one for me.

As you wish by Isobel Starling was a sexy & fun read. I knew Declan was a womanizer, but he would soon find his way to love. Little did he know that the hot chemistry he was going to find was with another man, Sam. These two have been emailing back and forth about their siblings wedding. I thought that these two had a great connection from the get go.

I would have thought that Declan would have had a harder time accepting that he was in lust with Sam. Not really a problem for him. He embraced it. Little did he know he may have to work for it if he wants to keep Sam in his life. I can really see Sam's father being a problem for these two. But when these two are together, the sexy scenes will just melt your screens.

I really enjoyed all the characters and can not wait to see where this series will go from here.
