I had a blast reading this book. It’s sweet, funny, and spicy. The book is placed in Geneva, which adds to its charming storyline. Magic and romance were delicately added throughout the book, which gives the reader a sense of excitement. I do feel like there was a lack of character development all around, but it was made up for with world building.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publishers for this arc. I absolutely love anything and everything from Sarah Ready so ofc I loved this one as well. Max was so sweet like damn when is it my turn.. Can't wait to read more books from this author.

Disfrute la historia.
Le faltó más desarrollo al romance. Anna se enamoró a primera vista de Max y se creó un cuento en su cabeza de que él también se enamoraría al conocerla. Hasta aquí todo bien, él problema es que 3 años después ella sigue con ese pensamiento, lo tiene en un altar, pero jamás han interactuado y cuando por fin puede hablar ella sigue en su mundo mágico.
En Switched parece que la relación de Serena y Henry se dió muy rápido, pero en realidad tenía mucho tiempo desarrollándose por lo que el tiempo no fue un problema, pero aquí lo sentí muy apresurado, por lo menos por parte de Max.
A pesar de las cosas que no me gustaron estuve pegada al libro hasta terminarlo porque necesitaba saber como se iba a resolver todo.
Me gustó que se aclarara que Max amaba a Fi como amiga y que le pidió matrimonio porque sabía que nunca sentiría nada romántico por ella.
Ojalá Max tuviera más povs porque sólo tiene 2: el prólogo y epílogo. Ame el epílogo porque podemos ver su amor por Anna.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I love Sarah Ready's books, and I was excited for Max to finally get his HEA. As usual, her stories have a mysterious twist in the plot. In Wished, Anna, who works as Max's cleaner while also having a crush on him, wishes for Max and her to be married. Somehow, her wish comes true, and everybody around her believes that they are about to celebrate their 7-year anniversary...except for Max. Max is equally horrified and disbelieving to hear that Anna is his wife.
While I really enjoyed this book, I liked the other books in the series a little better. I thought that this book had less emotional depth to it compared to the others. I found Anna falling for Max literally at first sight and then being secretly obsessed with him for 3 years to be a little unbelievable, but maybe it's just me. With Max, I thought that he was very caring and likeable in Fated when he interacts with Fiona and her child, but he was really cold, grumpy, and dismissive to Anna at first in this book. It got better throughout the book, but I was a little thrown off by his personality. As per usual, the romance between Max and Anna were on point and I love the unpredictable magical aspect that is infused in Sarah's books.
Thank you to Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC and NetGalley for the ARC!

Anna fell in love with Max, the person she has been cleaning for, at first sight. He doesn't even know she existed. Until Anna makes a wish.....
"You taste better than my memories, How can you taste better?"
So this was a super cute romance book, the type that you can finish in one sitting. My issues mostly are that I wanted more. I felt like Max gave in way too quick and that the angst that could've been there was really lacking especially since it felt way too insta love. But if you are someone looking for a quick happy ending romance this would be the book for you.
"Wished" is a fun, spicy, and charming book that delivers a delightful reading experience with its splash of magic and plenty of romance. Set in the beautiful backdrop of Geneva, Spain, the novel captures the essence of the enchanting locale, adding to its allure. The story keeps on giving, providing readers with twists and turns that maintain engagement throughout. While the character of Max could have benefited from a bit more development, the overall narrative is captivating and enjoyable. The magical elements and the romantic plotlines blend seamlessly, making "Wished" a good and easy read that promises to entertain from start to finish. Read this one in one setting!
Anna wishes that she is married to Max. And one day, she makes a wish and she ends up in an alternate world where she is married to Max for real.
This series just keep getting better. It's a standalone but has characters from former books... It's magical, charming and very romantic. Really enjoy it.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for an early access for this book!
I needed a break from fantasy and this was exactly what I needed!
This book gave me romcoms from the 90-20s vibes and it really delivered for me. It’s now my 2nd favourite romance of 2024!
What would you do if your biggest wishes were suddenly granted? But deep down - you know that’s not what the other person would want. Would you give it all back? Anna is a cleaning lady and she wishes she’d be married to the owner of this house she’s cleaning. She has loved him in silence all those years… but he’s never noticed her.
I read this book in one sitting. I ignored all of my plans for the day to read this 🤭.
The idea was original, the characters were absolutely loveable and I was hooked on the prose!
