Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC! Wished is the perfect palette cleanser between fantasy reads. It was an easy afternoon read so a great choice for a beach day or just cozying up on the couch. I love a whimsical romance and grumpy/sunshine pairings are always a win for me. I really enjoyed Anna and Max’s chemistry and will be recommending this to my book club!

I have read all of Sarah Ready's books in this series, and then even some of her other ones since I discovered her. I really enjoy her writing and attention to detail. Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. My least favorite trope is instalove, and it kind of has the instalove vibe. There wasn't enough of a displayed connection for me to believe this story. The way the MMC would react also seems unrealistic. I liked the premise, and thought it was creative. I still finished this book, but compared to the others in this series it was just ok for me.

This was a sweet story! Think Freaky Friday meets Maid in Manhattan. I truly liked this book. It was a kind of quick read, it took me a weekend to finish. There where parts that really got me in my feels and at the end I was definitely rooting for a happy ending.

It’s shocking because I thought I wouldn’t like it from the start but when the plot kicked in I fell in love. I thought it would take a while for me to love Max but he surprisingly took the whole wish thing well and I fell in love with him.
I loved Anna too, I was so glad she wasn’t a doormat! She was lovely, funny,
kind and way too honest to a fault but I loved her. I loved their banter. I literally loved their chemistry. I love their love. This book took by surprise I absolutely loved everything single thing about it!!!

I love them so much. This was so profound to me, one of the best romance books ever. It Literally blew me away, this is one of the most unique engaging plots ever.

I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Thank you Netgalley so much for this copy.

This was a deeply enjoyable read for me!
I would have read this faster if I didn’t have other life commitments!

Sometimes we all wish we could marry a rich man and escape our problems!

I love the false reality trope definitely a new one for me but non the least I would be interested in reading more!

I can’t wait to recommend this book to others!

I really enjoyed this book - haven’t read a romance with such a sweet plot driver and I really liked the premise. The start had me hooked immediately - how does someone not know they’re married?! I found the ‘wish’ part of it really easy to get on board with and thought I knew where it was headed but there was a little side step on the way which I also really loved.
The prose was good. No cliche rubbish here. Believable and sympathetic female protagonist who I was rooting for all the way.
Fab!

Oh my goodness, this book is a total emotional rollercoaster! One minute I'm tearing up, and the next I'm swooning with joy. It's nothing like any romance novel I've read before, and it's such a refreshing change. Sarah's writing is so vivid and pulls you right into Max and Anna's world. This book goes way deeper than your typical romance - it really dives into the impact of past trauma on relationships and the bravery it takes to trust someone with your heart. The way these themes are woven into the story adds so much depth, taking it beyond a simple love tale.

Anna's character is particularly compelling. She is strong yet vulnerable. I related to her a lot, having gone through some of the same struggles. I really FELT with this character and BREATHED with her. I also loved how initially Max was this unapproachable guy, but when he is loved, he shines as bright as the sun. Max had me giggling and kicking my feet, wishing I was loved by him.

Fabulous. This is a modern day fairy tale, although most definitely for adults. Wishing to be married to the millionaire rather than be his invisible cleaner is Cinderella esque, but things get even better from there. This isn’t a trite genie giving out wishes, but a story that dashes around Europe and presses reset in a surprising number of ways, the happy ever after is never in doubt, although which happy ever after is!

are you kidding me!! this was the cutest book ever. i love a grump and max is the perfect mix of grumpy and sweet. literally stayed up until 2 am to finish this one.

Wished was beautifully written! This was one of the first books I have read of Sarah's and I have to say it won't be the last - what a gorgeous charming hallmark card style book.

What happens when what you wish for actually comes true? I felt so moved by the premise of Anna wishing happiness for everyone but herself because so many of us really want that in life. But to be granted something we truly wish for? How would we all respond to that if it did happen? The inner turmoil was beautifully addressed and I really enjoyed the language used to create such captivating and descriptive scenes and landscapes.

I really resonated with this story and am so incredibly grateful to be able to have read it early and give me thoughts. Thankyou to both Netgalley and Sarah ♡

4.5 ☆ What a adorable romance!! I ate it up in a couple of hours and ended up wanting more. Besides being super captivating, the main characters are also very lovable. For me, the only flaw was the fact that it was a little bit insta-love, this is a characteristic that I don't really like in books and even though it didn't bother me *too* much, it was still the reason I took half a star off.

I'd highly recommend this book if you want a sweet and fast paced romance to read, it's totally worth it!

I couldn’t put this sweet, fun read down. I absolutely loved Max and how wholesome he was. This was my first from this author and I will definitely be going back for more!

What would you do if your most desperate wish was granted, but you felt like you were cheating someone else out of theirs? Could you keep it anyway?

Anna falls HARD for Max the first time she lays eyes on him, but he hardly knows she exists. Until she finds a mysterious necklace with a note telling her to make a wish…and wakes up the next day in Max’s bed as his wife. And, somehow, everyone in their worlds believing they’re married and deeply in love. Magical realism at its best!

Wished is such a unique, sweet (and sometimes steamy) journey—Anna learning to balance her own happiness with that of her loved ones, Max realizing that passion doesn’t have to be destructive, both of them learning what love really means. But Anna knows none of this was Max’s choice. Can she live with that?

As an added bonus, Sarah Ready’s writing is beautiful, engaging, and flows amazingly well. I’ve always loved her style and it continues to pull me in with Wished.

4.5 rounded to 5 stars.

I was very excited to read Wished since I have read Switched and Fated and really liked them.

Wished was such a cute story. I really liked it. Max was just as great of a character as I hoped he would be after seeing him in Fated. I'm so impressed by Sarah Ready and her ability to come up with the plots for these kinds of stories. I'm really looking forward to reading Ghosted now to see how the series started. I have already bought it and have it waiting on my Kindle.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for the opportunity to read this book.

I was given this book from Netgalley to read as an ARC.

From the very beginning of the story I was hooked. Anna is a simple girl who just wanted to feel love. Max is a grump who thought he couldn’t have passion. I loved their growth as characters. I do with Max had fought it a little more but I could tell he was just a big teddy bear at heart. The stairs scene had my heart melting. 222. I think they got the perfect ending to their story.

Dreaming of being a Genie when you were younger, favorite movie Aladain. This Cinderella story sad to happy, rags to riches maybe for you. This is the story of Anna Benoit, a cleaning lady at the home of Max Barone, one of Geneva's richest men. Anna wishes she’d be married to the owner, Max. She has loved him in silence all those years, love at first sight… but he’s never noticed, until one day. What would you wish if you could have one, any one wish? After wishing, what happens to free will? The love, the communication, the characters. Really enjoyed this light but ever so deep story. There are many underlying themes and beautiful insights. Releasing yourself to the possibility is one of the most amazing. Many thanks to Sarah Ready to writing such a wonderful, balanced light read.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author & the publisher

I was curious about the description - Anna has a crush on Max, makes a wish and wakes up in a world where Max is her husband. Unfortunately, this perfect vision is not that perfect at all.

Above all, it's full of unnecessary descriptions of interiors and appearance, full of irrelevant side stories, and all this is often interjected between the characters' conversation, which terribly prolongs the dialogue and makes us not remember what the first character was saying before we get the answer. Through these unnecessary descriptions it was hard to feel the emotions of the characters, which makes me feel that there was no banter between Anna and Max and their love was hard to see. Anna's character was bland and Max changed his behavior every chapter, making his change unbelievable.

I expected something different because the beginning was funny and promised to be great, but unfortunately the further you went the more boring the whole story was.

I have read the prior 3 books in this series, so I was very excited to dive right into this book. This sucked me in almost immediately and was a pretty quick read, maybe a little less involved/complex than the past novels in the series. An unlikely couple; the head of a family jewelry company, a maid. A necklace that grants wishes, and a woman who was one a little girl who dreamed of being a genie, so she could grant wishes. What could go wrong? What could go right? The concept was inventive and blends a little science fiction and magic with romance, and makes for an engaging read.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley; all opinions are my own.

When I was reading the previous book, Fated, I was sad for a moment that Max wasn't her person. Until I read the description for this book, and realized he was going to get his HEA too.

Insta love is usually not my favorite (with the exception of fated mates) but this was definitely an exception.

I loved that we got to fall in love with Anna and Max again and again as they fell in love in the different timelines and enjoyed the twists and turns as Anna tried to get them into the right one.

It's amazing. It's one of my top books of the year.

When I started reading this book, I thought it was just a romance novel, but I was wrong. It's so emotional and beautifully written that I can't express it.
I adore Emmi and Dorene.
I loved the story of Anna and Max, I even cried a few times. The descriptions of Paris and Geneva are also worth highlighting, they are wonderful. I'm glad that this book turned out to be much better than my expectations of it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC
