I grew up wishing on stars.
My father taught me to believe…in
destiny, in magic, in happily ever after. Dreams were my scripture and the
starry night sky was my temple. Then Mom stopped believing, left him, and took
us with her. At the age of sixteen, I cashed in my dreams to pay the rent,
pawned my destiny to keep my sisters together.
Now, seven years later, I’m
returning home, grieving the death of my mother, and settling my sisters back
into the life Mom threw away. I never intended to stay. I don’t want to deal
with my father, who is so invested in the spiritual world he forgets the
physical. I don’t want to face William Bailey, whose eyes remind me of the girl
I was, the things I’ve done, and the future I lost.
This would all be easier if Will
hated me. As it is, I have to hold my secrets close so they won’t hurt him more
than they’ve already hurt me. But he wants to be in my life. He wants what I
can’t bring myself to confess I sold. He wants me.
I find myself looking to my stars
again...wondering if I dare one more wish.

Lexi Ryan returns to New Hope and delivers another stellar
read with Wish I May! This novel is
the second installment in the New Hope Series and the follow up to Unbreak Me.
I love Unbreak Me
and have been absolutely giddy waiting for Wish
I May to release. Wish I May is William Bailey’s story, the ex-boyfriend
from book one. I can’t lie; I had some seriously sour feelings toward Will in
the first story. There were moments in Unbreak
Me where I wanted nothing more than for William to have a snuggle sesh with
a rabid pack of wolves. Needless to say, I needed some convincing before
William Bailey would grace my never-ending list of swoon-worthy book
boyfriends.
Now that I’ve read Wish
I May, let me take this moment to eat my words. William Bailey is
absolutely delectable. He’s equal parts sexy and devoted. The obstacles he
faces in his relationship with Cally would send most men running, but Will does
everything possible to help out the girl of his dreams. He’s genuine and it’s
downright mouth watering. Oh, did I mention his bedroom skills? Yea, he’s got
those, too! Ample dirty talk. Sexual tension so thick – I was drooling. William
Bailey is smoking hot.
Like Will, Cally sacrifices everything imaginable for the
people she loves. Without Cally, her family would have nothing. If I learned
anything from Unbreak Me, it’s that
the people of New Hope have an abundance of secrets. The past that haunts Cally
is beyond heartbreaking. Maggie’s story ripped my heart to pieces in Unbreak Me, but Cally’s story absolutely
annihilated me.
Lexi Ryan doesn’t disappoint with the second book in the New
Hope Series.
Wish I May is a
roller coaster, and I truly loved every torturous second of it. Prepare
yourself. You will be emotionally demolished and have one hell of a book
hangover. I loved this book!
